Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) have attracted considerable attention as a potential physical barrier for reducing postoperative adhesion. However, no anti-adhesion barrier can completely prevent adhesion formation. In this study, phospholipid-functionalized NFMs were readily fabricated by one-step electrospinning to obtain nanofiber-based barriers with enhanced wettability and anti-adhesion efficiency. The optimized phospholipid NFMs were shown to have a fiber diameter of 831 nm ± 135 nm that is drastically decreasing, high porosity of 87.6 % ± 1.1 %, and superior hydrophilicity. Moreover, the phospholipid NFMs with excellent cytocompatibility exhibited fibroblasts being significantly reduced (≈ 51 %) after incubation of 3 days compared to that of the NFMs (≈ 96 %), confirming long-lasting anti-adhesion capability against fibroblasts. Meanwhile, less cell adhesion and proliferation of Raw 264.7 macrophages on NFM-10Lec indicated its superior anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the facile phospholipid-functionalized nanofibers provided a promising strategy for anti-adhesion applications.
