Abstract

Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) provides long-term release of growth factors that potentially accelerate wound healing. In this study, core-shell nanofibrous structure of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) core and gelatin (Gel) shell containing A-PRF is fabricated through coaxial electrospinning method. PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofibers had the highest porosity, specific surface area and hydrophilicity among all the studied nanofibers. PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofibers with a tensile stress of 7.43 ± 0.38 MPa and an elastic modulus of 102.05 ± 9.36 MPa had higher mechanical properties than PVA/Gel/A-PRF and PVA/Gel blend nanofibers. PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) nanofibers had a 47.41 ± 1.97 % degradability over 7 days of immersion in PBS. The release of VEGF and PDGF-AB growth factors from PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofibers and PVA/Gel/A-PRF blend nanofibers were evaluated. It was shown that L929 cell proliferation and adhesion on PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofibers were significantly higher than other samples. Also, chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay revealed that the highest angiogenic potential among the studied samples related to PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) sample. In vivo studies on a rat model showed wound closure for PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) group was 97.83 ± 2.03 % after 11 days. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations approved the acceleration of wound healing by PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofiber dressing. The results strongly recommend the use of PVA/(Gel/A-PRF) core-shell nanofiber dressing for the repair of full-thickness wounds. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
