Abstract
Tissue self-renewal is crucial for ocular diseases such as corneal damage and retinal holes. In this study, a novel Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) electrospinning nanofibrous scaffold (PLGAENS), loaded with mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs), was developed to accelerate the healing of the cornea and retina. In-vitro experiments confirmed the supportive properties of PLGAENS, demonstrating its ability to promote cellular proliferation, migration, and extension. In the rat corneal alkali burn model and rabbit retinal hole model, MSC-EVs modified PLGAENS (PLGAMSC-EVs) accelerated the restoration of the corneal epithelium and stroma, as well as the closure of retinal holes. Additionally, miR-21-5p was identified as being enriched in MSC-EVs. Mechanistically, miR-21-5p suppressed scar formation by targeting the programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) gene, reducing fibrosis and the expression of collagen-related genes, which helped maintain corneal transparency and retinal integrity. Overall, these findings underscored the potential of PLGAMSC-EVs in promoting ocular wound healing and suggested a promising new therapeutic strategy for the clinical treatment of corneal damage and retinal holes.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
