Prominent Vascularization Capacity of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Collagen–Gold Nanocomposites
The
ideal characteristics of surface modification on the vascular
graft for clinical application would be with excellent hemocompatibility,
endothelialization capacity, and antirestenosis ability. Here, Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle (θ) measurement,
and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to evaluate the chemical
and mechanical properties of collagen–gold nanocomposites (collagen+Au)
with 17.4, 43.5, and 174 ppm of Au and suggested that the collagen+Au
with 43.5 ppm of Au had better biomechanical properties and thermal
stability than pure collagen. Besides, stromal-derived factor-1α
(SDF-1α) at 50 ng/mL promoted the migration of mesenchymal stem
cells (MSCs) on collagen+Au material through the α5β3
integrin/endothelial oxide synthase (eNOS)/metalloproteinase (MMP)
signaling pathway which can be abolished by the knockdown of vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The potentiality of collagen+Au
with MSCs for vascular regeneration was evaluated by our <i>in
vivo</i> rat model system. Artery tissues isolated from an implanted
collagen+Au-coated catheter with MSCs expressed substantial CD-31
and α-SMA, displayed higher antifibrotic ability, antithrombotic
activity, as well as anti-inflammatory response than all other materials.
Our results indicated that the implantation of collagen+Au-coated
catheters with MSCs could be a promising strategy for vascular regeneration
