Résumé

Random electrospun three-dimensional fiber membranes mimic the extracellular matrix and the interfibrillar spaces promotes the flow of nutrients for cells. Electrospun PLGA membranes were analyzed in vitro and in vivo after being sterilized with gamma radiation and bioactivated with fibronectin or collagen. Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells and primary fibroblast-like cells from hamster's cheek paunch proliferated over time on these membranes, evidencing their good biocompatibility. Cell-free irradiated PLGA membranes implanted on the back of hamsters resulted in a chronic granulomatous inflammatory response, observed after 7, 15, 30 and 90 days. Morphological analysis of implanted PLGA using light microscopy revealed epithelioid cells, Langhans type of multinucleate giant cells (LCs) and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) with internalized biomaterial. Lymphocytes increased along time due to undegraded polymer fragments, inducing the accumulation of cells of the phagocytic lineage, and decreased after 90 days post implantation. Myeloperoxidase cells increased after 15 days and decreased after 90 days. LCs, MNGCs and capillaries decreased after 90 days. Analysis of implanted PLGA after 7, 15, 30 and 90 days using transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed cells exhibiting internalized PLGA fragments and filopodia surrounding PLGA fragments. Over time, TEM analysis showed less PLGA fragments surrounded by cells without fibrous tissue formation. Accordingly, MNGC constituted a granulomatous reaction around the polymer, which resolves with time, probably preventing a fibrous capsule formation. Finally, this study confirms the biocompatibility of electrospun PLGA membranes and their potential to accelerate the healing process of oral ulcerations in hamsters' model in association with autologous cells.
