Description
Abstract
Silk sericin-releasing (sericin/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/glycerin) scaffolds have been designed for wound dressing applications using different fabrication techniques that influence scaffold antigenicity. The immunological tolerance of scaffolds depends on the balance of immunogenic and tolerogenic responses modulated by dendritic cells (DCs). An in vivo skin implantation model was used to compare the tolerogenic effect of sericin/PVA/glycerin scaffolds prepared by freeze-drying versus salt-leaching techniques, using an Allevyn® scaffold as a control. Immunohistochemical and histopathological studies were performed to evaluate tolerogenic DCs (CD206+), immunogenic DCs (CD83+), regulatory T-cells (FOXP3+ and CTLA-4), a proinflammatory cytokine (interleukin 33: IL-33), a stress marker (heat shock protein 60; HSP60), histopathological changes and related inflammatory cells. It was found that both sericin/PVA/ glycerin scaffolds were tolerogenic and induced early activated Treg functions, while the Allevyn® scaffold was immunogenic. However, the tolerance of the freezedried sericin/PVA/glycerin scaffolds was not as consistent as the salt-leached sericin/PVA/glycerin scaffolds, indicated by the low level of CTLA-4 expression. This was probably due to molecular crosslinking and the morphological and mechanical properties of the freeze-drying technique, which would enhance the immune response. Severe inflammatory responses (including mast cell degranulation and foreign body giant cell accumulation) and histopathological changes (including fat infiltration and fibrosis formation) were mainly found with the Allevyn® scaffold, presumably from its architecture and chemical composition, especially polyurethane. The up-regulation of IL-33 and HSP60 with the Allevyn® scaffold was correlated with the inflammatory and pathological levels. Our findings suggested that salt-leached sericin/PVA/glycerin scaffolds were tolerogenic, induced a low inflammatory response and were appropriate for wound dressing applications.
