Abstract (original English)

Ischemic wounds are chronic wounds with poor blood supply that delays wound reconstruction. To accelerate wound healing and promote angiogenesis, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are ideal seed cells for stem cell-based therapies. Nevertheless, providing a favorable environment for cell proliferation and metabolism poses a substantial challenge. A highly sulfated heparin-like polysaccharide 2-N, 6-O-sulfated chitosan (26SCS)-doped poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffold (S-PLGA) can be used due to their biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and coagent 26SCS high affinity for growth factors. In this study, a nano-scaffold system, constructed from ADSCs seeded on electrospun fibers of modified PLGA, was designed to promote ischemic wound healing. The S-PLGA nanofiber membrane loaded with adipose stem cells ADSCs@S-PLGA was prepared by a co-culture in vitro , and the adhesion and compatibility of cells on the nano-scaffolds were explored. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the growth state and morphological changes of ADSCs after co-culture with PLGA electrospun fibers. The proliferation and apoptosis after co-culture were detected using a Cell Counting Kit-8 kit and flow cytometry, respectively. An ischemic wound model was then established, and we further studied the ability of ADSCs@S-PLGA to promote wound healing and angiogenesis. We successfully established
