Abstract

Injury from the severe burn is exacerbated by a persistent inflammatory response. This response is mediated by cytokines and chemokines, which are released from various immune cells, including mast cells. In this study, the ability of the acellular ovine small intestine submucosa (AOSIS) to load and release of Mineral Pitch (MP) was first investigated, and it was found that the preparation of the scaffold by a modified method enables it to load and release water-soluble drugs. Then, 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, a third-degree burn was created, and except for the control group, the others were treated with: AOSIS, WJ-MSCs seeded AOSIS, or AOSIS loaded with WJ-MSCs and MP. Wound sampling on the 5th day after treatment showed that the number of intact and degranulated mast cells in the treatment groups was associated with a decrease compared to the control group. In the last group, this decrease was the largest (and statically significant (p < 0.05)). Also, by measuring the level of inflammatory factors in blood serum, it was found that in the treatment groups compared to the control group, IL-10 was associated with an increase, and TNF-α was associated with a decrease. The changes in inflammatory factors were more significant (p < 0.05) in the last group. So, our results indicate that AOSIS loaded with WJ-MSCs and MP could be used as an innovative tissue-engineered device to control inflammatory condition during burn wound healing.
