ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore a method of loading exosomes onto absorbable stents.Methods:
By building a stent-(3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane-1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy (polyethylene glycol) 5000]-exosomes connection, the exosomes were loaded onto absorbable stents to obtained the exosome-eluting absorbable stents. The surface conditions of the stents and absorption of exosomes were observed by scanning electron microscope and identified through the time-of-flight mass spectrometry; the roughness of the stents' surfaces was observed by atomic force microscope; the appearances and sizes of the stents were observed by stereomicroscope; and the radial force was tested by tensile test machine. The absorbable stents were used as control.Results:
The scanning electron microscope observation showed that the exosome-eluting absorbable stents had some small irregular cracks on the surface where many exosomes could be seen. The atomic force microscopy observation showed that within the range of 5 µm 2, the surface roughness of the absorbable stents was ±20 nm, while the surface roughness of the exosome-eluting absorbable stents was ±70 nm. In the results of time-of-flight mass spectrometry, both the exosome-eluting absorbable stents and exosomes had a peak at the mass charge ratio of 81 (m/z 81), while the absorbable stents did not have this peak. The peak of exosome-eluting absorbable stents at m/z 73 showed a significant decrease compared to the absorbable stents. The stereomicroscope observation showed that the sizes of exosome-eluting absorbable stents met standards and the surfaces had no cracks, burrs, or depressions. The radial force results of the exosome-eluting absorbable stents met the strength standards of the original absorbable stent.Conclusion:
By applying the chemical connection method, the exosomes successfully loaded onto the absorbable stents. And the sizes and radial forces of this exosome-eluting absorbable stents meet the standards of the original absorbable stents.Key words
