PCL-PU composite vascular scaffold production for vascular tissue engineering: attachment, proliferation and bioactivity of human vascular endothelial cells

Abstract

A new compliant scaffold suitable for small-diameter vascular grafts has been developed that promotes strong attachment of endothelial cells. Composite scaffolds were produced by wet spinning polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres which form the luminal surface, then electrospinning porous polyurethane (PU) onto the back of the PCL fibres to form the vessel wall substitute. Human endothelial cells demonstrated strong attachment to the composite PCL-PU scaffold, and proliferated to form a monolayer with strong PECAM-1 expression and cobblestone morphology. Attached cells demonstrated abundant release of von Willebrand factor, nitric oxide and ICAM-1 under physiological stimuli, and exhibited an immune response to lipopolysaccharide. The composite scaffold may also deliver bioactive molecules. Active trypsin, used as a test molecule, had a defined 48 h pattern of release from luminal PCL fibres. These data confirm the potential of this novel composite scaffold in vascular tissue engineering.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
