Abstract

Rotator cuff tear is a common musculoskeletal disease that often requires surgical repair. Despite of recent advances in surgical techniques, the re-tear rate of the rotator cuff tendon is very high. In this study, a platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-immobilized asymmetrically porous membrane was fabricated to investigate the feasibility for enhancing rotator cuff tendon regeneration through the membrane. PDGF-BB is recognized to promote tendon regeneration. The asymmetrically porous membrane was fabricated by polycaprolactone and Pluronic F127 using an immersion precipitation technique, which can allow selective permeability (preventing scar tissue invasion into defect region but allowing permeation of oxygen/nutrients) and incorporation of bioactive molecules (e.g., PDGF-BB) via heparin binding. The PDGF-BB immobilized on the membrane was released in a sustained manner over 42 days. In an animal study using Sprague-Dawley rats, the PDGF-BB-immobilized membrane group showed significantly greater regeneration of rotator cuff tendon in histological and biomechanical analyses compared with the groups of control (suturing) and membrane without PDGF-BB immobilization. The enhancing regeneration of rotator cuff tendon of the PDGF-BB-immobilized membrane may be caused from the synergistic effect of the asymmetrically porous membrane with unique properties (selective permeability and hydrophilicity) as a scaffold for guided tendon regeneration and PDGF-BB sustainedly released from the membrane.
