Abstrakt: Immobilization of arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD)-containing peptides at the luminal surface is a promising approach to increase biocompatibility of tissue-engineered vascular grafts, yet there is still unknown whether structure of RGD-containing peptides and length of their linker affect implantation outcome. Here we fabricated 1.5 mm diameter electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/poly(ε-caprolactone) vascular grafts and further immobilized RGDK, AhRGD, and c[RGDFK] peptides using either hexamethylenediamine or 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine as a short and long linker, respectively. In vivo biocompatibility of the grafts was assessed employing rat infrarenal aorta interposition model. Rats were sacrificed 1 and 3 months postoperation with the following histological examination of the grafts by hematoxylin and eosin, van Gieson, and alizarin red S staining. We found that RGDK- and c[RGDFK]-treated grafts demonstrated better performance compared to AhRGD-modified grafts. Moreover, immobilization of RGDcontaining peptides using a long linker 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine led to the higher biocompatibility of the grafts in comparison with a short linker hexamethylenediamine.
