PRP of T2DM Patient Immobilized on PCL Nanofibers Stimulate Endothelial Cells Proliferation.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a common complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Development of bioactive wound healing covers is an important task in medicine. The use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) consisting of growth factors, cytokines and components of extracellular matrix is a perspective approach for DFU treatment, but we previously found that some T2DM PRP samples have a toxic effect on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. Here, we covalently immobilized T2DM PRP proteins on polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers, and the growth of endothelial cells on the PCL-COOH-PRP was investigated. Additionally, the level of NO reflecting the cytotoxic effects of PRP, angiogenin, and VEGF levels were measured in T2DM PRP samples. The results showed that the application of PCL-COOH-PRP nanofibers allows to remove the cytotoxicity of T2DM PRP and to improve endothelial cell adhesion and proliferative activity. We showed that the origin of T2DM PRP (the level of PRP toxicity or presence/absence of DFU) does not influence the efficiency of cell growth on PCL-COOH-PRP, and on the level of angiogenin, vascular epidermal growth factor (VEGF) in PRP itself.
