Abstract:To investigate the effects of the PLLA adhesion prevention membrane on the functions of late endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The 3rd generation EPCs, namely late EPCs, was harvested and cell biological functions, such as proliferation, adhesion, migration, the ability of forming tubes, apoptosis and senescence were assayed with CCK-8, adhesion test, Boyden chamber assay, Matrigel, flow cytometry and β-Galactosidase staining, respectively. The late EPCs implanted on the PLLA adhesions prevention membrane exhibited decreased capabilities of proliferation, adhesion, migration and tube formation. In the mean time, PLLA increased the senescence of late EPCs but had no effect on cell apoptosis. Therefore, PLLA inhibits late EPC functions, which may be one of the mechanisms that PLLA adhesion prevention membrane prevents permanent adhesions.
