Abstract
For the treatment of irreversible, extensive skin damage, artificial skins or cultured skins are useful when allogeneic skins are unavailable. However, most of them lack vasculature, causing delayed perfusion and hence delay or failure in engraftment of the tissues. We previously developed a prevascularized three-dimensional (3D) cultured skin based on the layer-by-layer cell coating technique (LbL-3D skin), in which cells are seeded and laminated on a porous polymer membrane for medium supply to the thick cultured tissue. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that LbL-3D skin can achieve rapid perfusion and high graft survival after transplantation. However, there were practical issues with separating LbL-3D skins from the membranes before transplantation and the handling separated LbL-3D skins for transplantation. To address these problems, in this study, we examined the use of biodegradable porous polymer membranes that enabled the transplantation of LbL-3D skins together with the membranes, which could be decomposed after transplantation. Thin films made from poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses to create micro through-holes, producing porous membranes. We designed and fabricated culture inserts with the PLGA membranes and cultivated LbL-3D skins with 2 × 106 neonatal normal human dermal fibroblasts and 1 × 104 human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the dermis of 20 cell layers and 1 × 105 neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes in the epidermis. Histological analyses revealed that the skins cultured on the PLGA membranes had thickness of about 400 μm and that there were no defects in the quality of the skins cultured on the PLGA membranes when compared with those cultured on the conventional (nonbiodegradable) commercial membranes. The cultured LbL-3D skins were then transplanted together with the PLGA membranes onto full-thickness excisional wounds in mice. At 7 days posttransplantation onto a mouse, the tissues above and below the membrane were connected through the holes with collagen-positive fibers that appeared to migrate from both the host and donor sides, and favorable reepithelization was observed throughout the transplanted skin region. However, insufficient engraftment was observed in some cases. Thus, further optimization of the membrane conditions would be needed to improve the transplantation outcome.

Modification of Polyhydroxyalkanoates Polymer Films Surface of Various Compositions by Laser Processing. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030531. [PMID: 36771832 PMCID: PMC9920739 DOI: 10.3390/polym15030531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The results of surface modification of solvent casting films made from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) of various compositions are presented: homopolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate P(3HB) and copolymers comprising various combinations of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV), 4-hydroxybutyrate(4HB), and 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) monomers treated with a CO2 laser in continuous and quasi-pulsed radiation modes. The effects of PHAs film surface modification, depending on the composition and ratio of monomers according to the results of the study of SEM and AFM, contact angles of wetting with water, adhesion and growth of fibroblasts have been revealed for the laser radiation regime used. Under continuous irradiation with vector lines, melted regions in the form of grooves are formed on the surface of the films, in which most of the samples have increased values of the contact angle and a decrease in roughness. The quasi-pulse mode by the raster method causes the formation of holes without pronounced melted zones, the total area of which is lower by 20% compared to the area of melted grooves. The number of viable fibroblasts NIH 3T3 on the films after the quasi-pulse mode is 1.5-2.0 times higher compared to the continuous mode, and depends to a greater extent on the laser treatment mode than on the PHAs' composition. The use of various modes of laser modification on the surface of PHAs with different compositions makes it possible to influence the morphology and properties of polymer films in a targeted manner. The results that have been obtained contribute to solving the critical issue of functional biodegradable polymeric materials.

Abstract
In this research we developed a micro-sized hierarchical structures on a poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) surface. The obtained structures consist of round-shaped protrusions with a diameter of ~20 μm, a height of ~3 μm, and the distance between them ~30 μm. We explored the effect of structuring PLLA to design a non-cytotoxic material with increased roughness to encourage cells to settle on the surface. The PLLA films were prepared using the casting melt extrusion technique and were modified using ultra-short pulse irradiation - a femtosecond laser operating at λ = 1030 nm. A hierarchical microstructure was obtained resembling 'cookies on a tray'. The cellular response of fibro- and osteoblasts cell lines was investigated. The conducted research has shown that the laser-modified surface is more conducive to cell adhesion and growth (compared to unmodified surface) to such an extent that allows the formation of highly-selectively patterns consisting of living cells. In contrast to eukaryotic cells, the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus covered modified and unmodified structures in an even, non-preferential manner. In turn, adhesion pattern of eukaryotic fungus Saccharomyces boulardii resembled that of fibro- and osteoblast cells rather than that of Staphylococcus. The discovered effect can be used for fabrication of personalized and smart implants in regenerative medicine.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1553. [PMID: 34066143 PMCID: PMC8151816 DOI: 10.3390/polym13101553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The study reports results of using a CO2-laser in continuous wave (3 W; 2 m/s) and quasi-pulsed (13.5 W; 1 m/s) modes to treat films prepared by solvent casting technique from four types of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), namely poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and three copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate: with 4-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxyvalerate, and 3-hydroxyhexanoate (each second monomer constituting about 30 mol.%). The PHAs differed in their thermal and molecular weight properties and degree of crystallinity. Pristine films differed in porosity, hydrophilicity, and roughness parameters. The two modes of laser treatment altered these parameters and biocompatibility in diverse ways. Films of P(3HB) had water contact angle and surface energy of 92° and 30.8 mN/m, respectively, and average roughness of 144 nm. The water contact angle of copolymer films decreased to 80-56° and surface energy and roughness increased to 41-57 mN/m and 172-290 nm, respectively. Treatment in either mode resulted in different modifications of the films, depending on their composition and irradiation mode. Laser-treated P(3HB) films exhibited a decrease in water contact angle, which was more considerable after the treatment in the quasi-pulsed mode. Roughness parameters were changed by the treatment in both modes. Continuous wave line-by-line irradiation caused formation of sintered grooves on the film surface, which exhibited some change in water contact angle (76-80°) and reduced roughness parameters (to 40-45 mN/m) for most films. Treatment in the quasi-pulsed raster mode resulted in the formation of pits with no pronounced sintered regions on the film surface, a more considerably decreased water contact angle (to 67-76°), and increased roughness of most specimens. Colorimetric assay for assessing cell metabolic activity (MTT) in NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast culture showed that the number of fibroblasts on the films treated in the continuous wave mode was somewhat lower; treatment in quasi-pulsed radiation mode caused an increase in the number of viable cells by a factor of 1.26 to 1.76, depending on PHA composition. This is an important result, offering an opportunity of targeted surface modification of PHA products aimed at preventing or facilitating cell attachment.
