Effect of PCL/PTMC electrospun scaffold on macrophage phenotype and tissue regeneration in a mouse subcutaneous model

  • 摘要: 目的 研究聚己内酯/聚三亚甲基碳酸酯(PCL/PTMC)静电纺丝支架材料对小鼠皮下巨噬细胞表型和组织再生的影响。方法 采用静电纺丝技术制备PCL和不同配比的PCL/PTMC管型支架材料(3 ∶1、3 ∶2、1 ∶1,w/w),通过扫描电镜观察各组材料表面形态;采用小鼠皮下组织埋植实验,通过HE染色观察各组材料周围组织学变化,通过免疫荧光染色观察各组材料周围组织CD11b、CD68、CCR7和CD206阳性细胞表达情况,通过定量蛋白组学方法研究各组材料周围微环境蛋白表达情况。结果 扫描电镜观察显示,PCL/PTMC (3 ∶1、3 ∶2、1 ∶1)3组支架材料与PCL组材料表面形态相似,均具有纤维多孔性结构,随着材料中PTMC含量的增加,纤维直径逐渐变小且直径分布较为均匀。HE染色及免疫荧光染色显示,PCL组材料在观察期内无明显降解,植入3天~1周,材料内部和周围积聚大量单核细胞(CD11b)和巨噬细胞(CD68、CCR7、CD206),并于植入1周后达到高峰;植入3周,单核细胞/巨噬细胞明显减少,在管壁表层、材料表面及周围宿主组织中均可见CCR7、CD206细胞,且CCR7细胞多于CD206细胞;植入5~7周,4种阳性细胞数量持续减少,宿主细胞在材料内部无明显生长,组织修复以细胞外基质沉积为主。PCL/PTMC (3 ∶1、3 ∶2、1 ∶1)3组支架材料植入3天~1周,HE染色及免疫荧光染色观察结果与PCL组相似;植入3周,单核细胞和巨噬细胞数量同样明显减少,但CD206细胞多于CCR7细胞,CCR7细胞多位于材料表层,并对材料表面形成侵蚀性降解,CD206细胞则主要存在于材料周围组织中;植入5 ~7周,3组材料周围单核/巨噬细胞数量仍趋减少,5周时PCL/PTMC (3 ∶1)组材料周围组织CD206细胞明显多于PCL组,7周时PCL/PTMC (3 ∶1、3 ∶2)组材料周围组织CD206、CCR7细胞均明显多于PCL对照组,组织修复以宿主组织再生和纤维结缔组织增生为主。定量蛋白组学数据分析显示,PCL/PTMC (3 ∶2)组材料周围组织与PCL组比较差异具有统计学意义,1周和7周整体数据差异度分别为0.77和2.96,PCL/PTMC (3 ∶2)材料1周组与PCL材料1周组共筛选出759个差异蛋白,7周组共筛选出2224个差异蛋白。结论 PCL/PTMC静电纺丝支架材料在体内可通过吸附大量巨噬细胞加速其在体内降解,材料的降解可持续激活巨噬细胞,引发慢性炎症反应,进而影响组织再生与修复的过程。

     

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PCL/PTMC) scaffold materials on host macrophage phenotype and tissue regeneration. Methods Electrospinning was used to fabricate PCL scaffolds and PCL/PTMC scaffolds with different blend ratios (3 ∶1, 3 ∶2, 1 ∶1, w/w). A mouse subcutaneous implantation model was employed. Using techniques including hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunofluorescence (IF) staining, and proteomics, we studied the impact of structurally similar PCL/PTMC electrospun fiber scaffolds with different degradation rates on macrophage quantity, phenotype, distribution, and the protein expression profile of the surrounding microenvironment. Results H&E staining and CD11b, CD68, CCR7 and CD206 IF staining revealed that the PCL group showed minimal degradation during the observation period.Early implantation induced an acute inflammatory response. After this acute phase subsided, the number of monocytes/macrophages around the PCL scaffolds significantly decreased, with more CCR7+(M1-like)cells than CD206+(M2-like) cells. Host cells showed minimal infiltration into the material, and tissue repair primarily involved extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. In contrast, for the tubular scaffolds of PCL/PTMC (3 ∶1), PCL/PTMC (3 ∶2), and PCL/PTMC (1 ∶1), abundant macrophages and multinucleated giant cells adhered to the surface once the acute inflammation subsided. At 3 weeks post-implantation, CD206+cells outnumbered CCR7+cells in the surrounding host tissue. Host cells were observed growing into the outer layer of the tube walls, accompanied by ECM deposition, forming a complete fibrous tissue capsule. Quantitative proteomics analysis showed statistically significant differences between tissues surrounding PCL/PTMC (3 ∶2) scaffolds and PCL scaffolds. The overall data dissimilarity indices were 0.77 at 1 week and 2.96 at 7 weeks, respectively. A total of 759 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified between PCL/PTMC (3 ∶2) and PCL groups at 1 week, increasing to 2224 DEPs at 7 weeks. Conclusions PCL/PTMC electrospun scaffolds can accelerate their in vivo degradation by adsorbing large numbers of macrophages. The degradation products of PTMC can modulate the behavior of various host cells, including macrophages, thereby influencing the process of tissue regeneration and repair. Precise control over the structure and composition of PCL/PTMC electrospun scaffolds to achieve an appropriate degradation rate is crucial for developing ideal in situ tissue-engineered vascular graft materials.
