Feasibility of Electrospun Polydioxanone – Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) Hybrid Scaffolds as Potential Cellular Homing Devices

چکیده
A novel cellular homing/chemokine delivery system was developed, in which electrospun polydioxanone (PDO) scaffolds infused with Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) were fabricated and examined for their potential to influence macrophage infiltration/adherence and for their potential to provide extended chemokine release. Over the course of 120 hours, MCP-1 released into supernatant peaked at 24 hours and was detectable by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) when added to PDO solutions prior to electrospinning at 3000 ng/ml. PDO/MCP-1 hybrids were characterized for biological activity using a test tube ELISA procedure assessing macrophage adherence/infiltration of scaffolds. Results demonstrated an increasing doseresponsive trend with increasing MCP-1 concentration. These initial investigations suggest such hybrid materials have significant potential for use in and improvement of in situ tissue regeneration applications by acting as cellular homing devices.

Shear flow affects selective monocyte recruitment into MCP-1-loaded scaffolds
Novel cardiovascular replacements are being developed by using degradable synthetic scaffolds, which function as a temporary guide to induce neotissue formation directly in situ. Priming of such scaffolds with fast-releasing monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was shown to improve the formation of functional neoarteries in rats. However, the underlying mechanism has not been clarified. T...

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy that leads to heart failure. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are under active investigation currently as a potential therapy for DCM. However, little information is available about the therapeutic potential of intravenous administration of MSCs for DCM. Moreover, how MSCs home to the myocardium in DCM is also uncl...

New biomarkers are needed to identify asymptomatic Leishmania infection as well as immunity following vaccination or treatment. With the aim of finding a robust biomarker to assess an effective cellular immune response, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) was examined in plasma from soluble Leishmania antigen (SLA)-stimulated whole blood collected from subjects living in a Leishmania infantu...

The aim of this study was to investigate macrophage interactions with electrospun scaffolds and quantify the expression of key angiogenic growth factors in vitro. This study will further help in evaluating the potential of these electrospun constructs as vascular grafts for tissue repair and regeneration in situ. Human peripheral blood macrophages were seeded in serum free media on electrospun ...
متن کاملMonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in human atheromatous plaques.
Monocytes appear to be central to atherogenesis both as the progenitors of foam cells and as a potential source of growth factors mediating intimal hyperplasia, but the chemical messages which stimulate the influx of monocytes into human atheroma remain unknown. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a recently described molecule with powerful monocyte chemotactic activity expressed by m...
