Biomaterials derived from ECM, such as the decellularized G-SIS scaffold embedded with curcumin, showed porous, biodegradable, biocompatible, antibacterial, and hydrophilic properties with sustained release of curcumin. Increasing curcumin content led to decreased porosity and hydrophilicity, but increased biodegradability, free radical scavenging, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties. The scaffold containing 1 wt % of curcumin may be a potential biomaterial for wound-healing and skin tissue engineering.
Biomaterials derived from extracellular matrices (ECMs) were extensively used for skin tissue engineering and wound healing. ECM is a complex network of biomolecules (e.g., proteins), which provide organizational support to cells for growth. Thus, ECM could be an ideal biomaterial for fabricating the scaffold. However, oxidative stress and biofilm formation at the wound site remains a major challenge that could be neutralized using herbal ingredients (e.g., curcumin). In this study, ECM was extracted from the biowaste of the goat abattoir by using decellularization. The goat small intestine submucosa (G-SIS) is decellularized to obtain the decellularized G-SIS (DG-SIS) and curcumin (in different concentrations) was incorporated in the DG-SIS to fabricate curcumin-embedded DG-SIS scaffolds. Changes brought by increasing the concentrations of the curcumin in DG-SIS were observed in various properties, including free radical scavenging and antibacterial properties. Results depicted that the scaffolds are porous, biodegradable, biocompatible, antibacterial, and hydrophilic and showed sustained release of curcumin. Besides, it showed free radicals scavenging property. The porosity and hydrophilicity of the scaffolds were decreased with an increase in the curcumin content. However, biodegradability, free radical scavenging, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties of the scaffolds increased with an increase in the curcumin content. The DG-SIS scaffold containing 1 wt % of curcumin may be a potential biomaterial for wound-healing and skin tissue engineering.
