Effect of poly(dimethylsiloxane)- block -poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) amphiphilic block copolymers on dermal fibroblast viability and proliferation.
Journal of Biomaterials Science. Polymer Edition 2019 July 26
In this work, well-defined poly(dimethylsiloxane)- b -poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PDMS- b -POEGMA) amphiphilic block copolymers were synthesized and their effect on human dermal fibroblast were investigated. Anionic ring opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were used to synthesis the block copolymers. The molecular weight of synthesized copolymers ranged from 1000 to 2300 Da by changing the number of both PDMS and POEGMA units. It was found that the copolymer having low molecular weight decreased the fibroblast viability and proliferation by inducing apoptosis. It was proved by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay that human dermal fibroblast experienced apoptosis after exposure to synthesized amphiphilic copolymers. The results of this work suggest the use of PDMS- b -POEGMA amphiphilic copolymers with low molecular weight for hypertrophic scars remediation.
