Abstract

Abstract: The function of fibroblast cells in wounded areas results in reconstruction of the extra cellular matrix and consequently resolution of granulation tissue. It is suggested that the use of platelet‐rich plasma can accelerate the healing process in nonhealing or slow‐healing wounds. In this study, a simple and novel method has been used to fabricate an electrospun three‐layered scaffold containing plasma rich in growth factor with the aim of increasing the proliferation and migration of fibroblast cells in vitro. First, plasma rich in growth factor was derived from platelet rich plasma, and then a three‐layered scaffold was fabricated using PLLA nanofibers as the outer layers and plasma rich in growth factor‐containing gelatin fibers as the internal layer. The growth morphology of cells seeded on this scaffold was compared to those seeded on one layered PLLA scaffold. The study of the cell growth rate on different substrates and the migration of cells in response to the drug release of multilayered scaffold was investigated by the cell quantification assay and a modified under agarose assay. Scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence images showed that cells seeded on multilayered scaffold were completely oriented 72 hours after seeding compared to those seeded on PLLA scaffold. The cell quantification assay also indicated significant increase in proliferation rate of cells seeded on three‐layered scaffold compared to those seeded on PLLA scaffold and finally, monitoring cell migration proved that cells migrate significantly toward the three‐layered scaffold up to 48 to 72 hours and afterwards start to show a diminished migration rate toward this scaffold. Abstract : Platelet rich plasma (PRGF) was released with non‐fickian diffusion from triple layer PLLA/gelatin/PLLA nanofibers the released PRGF induced significant increase in proliferation rate of cells. Fibroblast cells leads the cell migration toward the three‐layered scaffold up to 48 to 72 hours.
