Summary

Biodegradable poly(glycerol sebacate)/poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds support human corneal cell growth and do not trigger immune responses. These PGS/PCL scaffolds show promise for corneal tissue engineering, addressing donor tissue shortages.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Ophthalmology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Corneal damage affects millions globally, with transplantation being the primary treatment for severe cases.
  • A significant shortage of quality donor corneal tissue exists worldwide.
  • Development of effective tissue substitutes is crucial for addressing this unmet clinical need.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel nanofibrous scaffold made of poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) for corneal tissue engineering.
  • To assess the biocompatibility and immunological response of the PGS/PCL scaffolds using human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Main Methods:

  • Nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated using a modified electro-spinning technique with PGS and PCL.
  • In vitro biocompatibility was assessed by culturing HCECs on the scaffolds and evaluating cell viability using MTT assays over 7 days.
  • Immunological potential was examined by exposing the scaffolds to PBMCs and analyzing supernatant for apoptosis and immune cell activation via flow cytometry.

Main Results:

  • Successful cultivation of HCECs on PGS/PCL scaffolds was demonstrated, with significantly increased cell density over 7 days (p < 0.0001).
  • MTT assays confirmed the absence of cytotoxicity for all tested scaffold compositions.
  • Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the scaffolds did not induce apoptosis or activate PBMCs, T cells, B cells, NK cells, or monocytes, demonstrating immunological inertness.

Conclusions:

  • A tissue-like scaffold mimicking the human corneal stroma was successfully developed.
  • The biocompatibility of PGS/PCL scaffolds with corneal endothelial cells and blood cells suggests their potential as ideal candidates for corneal tissue engineering applications.
