▎ 摘 要
In this study, we introduce a novel graphene oxide/silver/arginine (GO/Ag/Arg) nanohybrid structure, which can act as an angiogenesis promoter and provide antibacterial nanostructure for improving the wound healing process. GO/Ag nanostructure has been optimized in terms of the GO/Ag mass ratio and pH values using central composite design and the response surface method to increase the Ag loading efficiency. Then, Arg was chemically introduced to the surface of GO/Ag nanostructure. Electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)-GO/Ag/Arg nanocomposite was successfully fabricated and characterized. The synthesized nanocomposite demonstrated not only a great antibacterial effect on both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacterial species, but appropriate biocompatibility against L929 fibroblastic cell lines. The results demonstrated that the preparation of the PCL-GO/Ag/Arg nanocomposite at a concentration of 1.0 wt% GO/Ag/Arg possessed the best biological and mechanical features. In vivo experiments also revealed that the use of optimized PCL-GO/Ag/Arg nanocomposite, after 12 d of treatment, led to significant increase in the healing process and also regeneration of the wound via reconstruction of a thickened epidermis layer on the wound surface, which was confirmed by histological analysis. In conclusion, the proposed approach can introduce a novel notion for preparing antibacterial material that significantly promotes angiogenesis.
