Antibacterial Activity and Cytocompatibility of PLGA/CuO Hybrid Nanofiber Scaffolds Prepared by Electrospinning

Abstract: The PLGA/CuO hybrid nanofibers scaffolds were prepared via electrospinning technique. The presence of CuO in the PLGA scaffolds was confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The scaffolds were subjected to various antibacterial and cytobiocompatibility tests. The results not only showed excellent adhesion, proliferation, and viability (live/dead staining) for fibroblastic cells but also revealed that PLGA/CuO hybrid nanofiber scaffolds inhibited both Gram-p… Show more

“…Furthermore, as seen, cell–biomaterial interaction is improved by incorporating more cell‐adhesion molecules necessary for cell mobility and resulted in a spread in all directions, along with an increase in L929 cell numbers that adhered on the membranes as a suitable matrix (cell proliferation). It seems that cellular response was influenced by (a) Gel as a natural polymer with unique structure and properties, (b) the antibacterial nature of CIP (preventing infection), and (c) the porous structure of mat (mimicked natural ECM), which would help cells move from surface into membranes through pores (guideline channels) …”

“…Nanofibers are typically created by an electrostatic field from a polymer solution by electrospinning [5,6]. Various functional materials can be incorporated into the nanofibers during the electrospinning to enhance desired attributes, such as catalytic [7], biocidal [8,9], or hydrophobic properties [10].…”

“…The results are showed in Table-2. The potential technique associated with the function of bacteria may be caused by cell membrane [34,35]. The released of copper ions from CuO nanoparticles, which negatively attached the bacterial cell wall to the charging and fracture, causing protein attenuation and cell death [36][37][38].…”
