BACKGROUND:Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid(PLGA) has good biocompatible and biodegradable properties. OBJECTIVE:To prepare keratinocyte growth factor(KGF) loaded PLGA nanocapsules as the controlled-release drug carrier system suitable for skin-tissue engineering. METHODS:The KGF-nanocapsules were prepared by double emulsion-solvent evaporation and freeze drying methods. Then,tissue-engineered technology was used to construct cell membrane. The morphology of nanocapsules as well as the growth and dermal connections of the cells were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and inverted microscope. Mean diameter and particle size distribution were determined by particle size analyzer. The drug loading rate and encapsulation efficiency,as well as the release profile of KGF in the nanocapsules was evaluated indirectly by ultraviolet spectrometry and ELISA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Inverted microscope and SEM showed the nanocapsules spherical particles seemed to be smooth and uniform,distributed evenly on acellular dermal matrix(ADM) surface and linked tightly to ADM. The hair follicle stem cells grew well on the KGF-PLGA-ADM and formed clones. Both of them had a good compatibility. The drug-loading rate,encapsulation efficiency and KGF activity retention rate were(14.05±0.56) %,(59.86±2.38) % and(78.26±5.63) %,respectively. The released from nanocapsules appeared to be consistent with initial rapid-release and later slow-release. Accumulative release ratio was up to 75% in the continuous period of 30 days. It is indicated that KGF loaded PLGA nanocapsules prepared reasonably,which had good biocompatible and biodegradable properties and could be used to construct a new kind of tissue-engineered skin.
