Zusammenfassung: | Pathological scarring has been a challenge in skin injury repair since ancient times, and prophylactic treatment in the early stages of wound healing usually results in delayed wound healing. In this study, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and chitosan (CTS) were used as carrier materials to construct multifunctional pirfenidone (PFD)/CTS/PEO (PCP) nanofiber membranes (NFMs) loaded with PFD by microfluidic blow-spinning (MBS). MBS is a good method for quickly, safely, and greenly constructing large-area manufacturing of inexpensive NFMs. PCP NFMs were uniform in external morphology, with diameters ranging from 200 to 500 nm. The encapsulation efficiency of the drug-loaded PCP NFMs was above 80%, which had a good slow release, visualization, water absorption, and biocompatibility. The inhibitory effect of PCP NFMs on normal human dermal fibroblasts was dose-dependent and inhibited the expression of the transforming growth factor-β1/SMAD family member 3 (TGF-β1/SMAD3) signaling pathway. PCP NFMs showed significant antibacterial effects against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In the rabbit ear scar experiment, the wound healed about 70% on day 5 and almost completely on day 10 after PCP-3 NFMs treatment, with the thinnest scar tissue, skin color, tenderness close to normal tissue, and a Vancouver scar scale score of less than 5. PCP-3 NFMs had good effects on anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and collagen-I deposition reducing effects. In conclusion, PCP-3 NFMs can both promote wound healing and intervene to inhibit pathological scarring in advance, making them a potential multifunctional wound dressing for early prevention and treatment of pathological scarring. |
