Conditioned medium-electrospun fiber biomaterials for skin regeneration

Conditioned medium(CM)contains variety of factors secreted by cells,which directly regulate cellular processes,showing tremendous potential in regenerative medicine.Here,for the first time,we proposed a novel regenerative therapy mediated by biodegradable micro-nano electrospun fibers loaded with highly active conditioned medium of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSC-CM).ADSC-CM was successfully loaded into the nanofibers with biological protection and controllable sustained-release properties by emulsion electrospinning and protein freeze-drying technologies.In vitro,ADSC-CM released by the fibers accelerated the migration rate of fibroblasts;inhibited the over proliferation of fibroblasts by inducing apoptosis and damaging cell membrane;in addition,ADSC-CM inhibited the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and suppressed excessive production of extracellular matrix(ECM).In vivo,the application of CM-biomaterials significantly accelerated wound closure and improved regeneration outcome,showing superior pro-regenerative performance.This study pioneered the application of CM-biomaterials in regenerative medicine,and confirmed the practicability and significant biological effects of this innovative biomaterials.
