Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop nanofibrous gelatin substrates for eyelid fat stem cell (EFSC) expansion that can serve as a potential alternative substrate to replace human amniotic membrane. Biocompatibility results indicated that all substrates were highly biocompatible, as EFSCs could favorably attach and proliferate on the nanofibrous surfaces. Microscopic figures showed that the EFSC were firmly anchored to the substrates and were able to retain a normal stem cell phenotype. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and real time-PCR results revealed change in the expression profile of EFSCs grown on nanofibrous substrates when compared to those grown on control in epithelial induction condition. In addition, electrospun gelatin mats especially oriented scaffold provides not only a milieu supporting EFSCs expansion, but also serves as a useful alternative carrier for ocular surface tissue engineering and could be used as an alternative substrate to amniotic membrane. © 2016 Taylor & Francis.
