- Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in wound healing, due to its ability to contract wound surfaces, dilate blood vessels, participate in inflammation as well as promote collagen synthesis, angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation. Herein, keratin was first nitrosated to afford S -nitrosated keratin (KSNO). As a NO donor, KSNO was then co-electrospun with polyurethane (PU). These as-spun PU/KSNO biocomposite mats could release NO sustainably for 72 h, matching the renewal time of the wound dressing. Moreover, these mats exhibited excellent cytocompatibility with good cell adhesion and cell migration. Further, the biocomposite mats exhibited antibacterial properties without inducing severe inflammatory responses. The wound repair in vivo demonstrated that these mats accelerated wound healing by promoting tissue formation, collagen deposition, cell migration, re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. Overall, PU/KSNO mats may be promising candidates for wound dressing.
