ABSTRACT
Peptides and molecular residues sourced from the fragmentation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can exacerbate a plethora of cellular functions. We selected a natural ECM-derived complex peptide mixture to functionalize sodium alginate. Three alginate derivatives (sodium alginate conjugated with ECM) SALE-1, SALE-2, and SALE-3 were synthesized using the lowest (10 % w/w), moderate (50 % w/w), and highest (100 % w/w) concentrations of ECM. Thereafter, they were used to fabricate three groups of mat scaffolds EMAT-1 (ECM derivatized alginate thrombin-mat), EMAT-2, and EMAT-3, respectively by the freeze-drying process. To enhance the hemostatic activity, thrombin was loaded onto the scaffolds. Another group, AT, without any derivatized alginate was additionally included in order to comparative analysis. Physical characteristics revealed that the porous mat scaffold showed enhancement in degradation and swelling ability with the increase in ECM content. The higher cell proliferation, migration, and cell viability were noticed in the higher ECM-containing samples EMAT-2 and EMAT-3. In vivo studies using rodent hepatic and rabbit ear models were carried out to ensure the hemostatic ability of the scaffolds. EMAT-2 and EMAT-3 demonstrate excellent liver regeneration ability in rat models. Moreover, the rat cutaneous wound model depicted that EMAT-3 dramatically elevated the skin's healing ability, thereby rendering it an excellent candidate for future clinical application in wound healing.
