Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Electrospun nanofiber membranes offer biomimetic structures for abdominal wall repair but can trigger a foreign body response (FBR) that hinders tissue integration.
  • Existing anti-inflammatory strategies using ibuprofen (IBU) have limitations due to non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition and rapid clearance, reducing local efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To functionalize electrospun polylactic acid (PLA)/gelatin (Gel) nanofiber membranes with chitosan (CS) and loxoprofen (LOX) for sustained local immunomodulation and improved abdominal wall repair.
  • To evaluate the physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, immunomodulatory effects, and in vivo performance of the functionalized membranes in a preclinical model.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PLA/Gel nanofiber membranes functionalized with CS and LOX.
  • Characterization of membrane properties, including drug release kinetics (28 days), antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and immunomodulatory effects on macrophages (gene expression, reactive oxygen species - ROS).
  • Assessment of in vivo efficacy in a rat full-thickness abdominal wall defect model, evaluating cell infiltration, angiogenesis, tissue integration, mechanical properties, and collagen remodeling at 90 days.

Main Results:

  • The PLA/Gel-CS-LOX membranes demonstrated sustained LOX release, potent antibacterial activity, good cytocompatibility, and suppressed pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages.
  • In vivo studies showed enhanced cell infiltration, angiogenesis, and tissue integration in the defect area treated with PLA/Gel-CS-LOX membranes.
  • Regenerated tissues at 90 days exhibited native-like mechanical properties and balanced collagen remodeling, indicated by normalized MMP9/TIMP1 expression.

Conclusions:

  • CS-LOX functionalization of electrospun nanofiber membranes effectively modulates the inflammatory response and promotes functional tissue remodeling for abdominal wall repair.
  • This approach offers a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of current meshes and improve clinical outcomes in abdominal wall reconstruction.
