Decellularized Tumor Tissues Integrated with Polydopamine for Wound Healing.

Abstract

Natural biomaterials have been showing extensive potential in wound healing; attempts therefore focus on productions achieving both antimicrobial and tissue regenerative abilities. Here, we construct a decellularized human colon tumor (DHCT)-derived scaffold for wound remolding via microfluidic bioprinting. The DHCT retains a series of growth factors, fibrin, and the collagen configuration, that favor tissue repair and reconstruction. Specifically, the scaffold shows superior abilities in cell migration and angiogenesis. The biocompatible scaffold is also imparted with tissue adhesion ability and photothermal effect due to the coating of biologically derived polydopamine on the surface. The strong photothermal effect under near-infrared irradiation also present the scaffold with an antibacterial rate exceeding 90%. Furthermore, invivo experiments convinced that the polydopamine-integrated DHCT scaffold can markedly expedite the healing process of acute extensive wounds. These findings indicate that composite materials derived from natural tumors have substantial potential in pertinent clinical applications.
