Preparation and characterisation of a novel silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid/sodium alginate scaffold for skin repair.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2019 Februrary 22
To mimic the natural structure of tissue extracellular matrix, a novel silk fibroin (SF)/hyaluronic acid (HA)/sodium alginate (SA) composite scaffold (92% in porosity) was prepared by freeze-drying. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectra indicated interactions among SF, HA, and SA molecules. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the prepared SF/HA/SA scaffold had soft, elastic characteristics, with an average pore diameter of 93 μm. Mechanical property, thermogravimetric analyses and degradation results indicated that the SF/HA/SA scaffold had good physical stability in body fluid and mechanical movement-related environments. Cell proliferation, morphological, and live-dead analyses showed that NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells were better able to attach, grow, and proliferate on the SF/HA/SA scaffold compared with SF, SF/HA, and SF/SA scaffolds. We evaluated the wound healing effects in a rat full-thickness burn model. The hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining results from SF/HA/SA scaffold showed that improved re-epithelialization, enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling. Our findings showed that the prepared SF/HA/SA scaffold can provide a potential way as a wound dressing for skin repair.
