Dabei wurde überprüft, inwiefern die Beschaffenheit der Oberflächenstruktur des Polymers die Polarisierung von Makrophagen auf Proteinebene beeinflusst. N2 - In this dissertation, the impact of MEW-printed scaffolds on protein expression in human macrophages was analyzed. These scaffolds were made of the synthetic polymer PnPrOx, a Poly(2-oxazoline), with different surface structures (fibrous, smooth). The aim was to evaluate in what way the surface structure of the polymer affects polarization of macrophages on a protein level.

Consistent with the idea that 3D structural motifs in the extracellular matrix possess immunomodulatory capacity as part of the natural healing process, it is found in this study that human-monocyte-derived macrophages show a strong M2a-like prohealing polarization when cultured on type I rat-tail collagen fibers but not on collagen I films. Therefore, it is hypothesized that highly aligned nanofibrils also of synthetic polymers, if packed into larger bundles in 3D topographical biomimetic similarity to native collagen I, would induce a localized macrophage polarization. For the automated fabrication of such bundles in a 3D printing manner, the strategy of “melt electrofibrillation” is pioneered by the integration of flow-directed polymer phase separation into melt electrowriting and subsequent selective dissolution of the matrix polymer postprocessing. This process yields nanofiber bundles with a remarkable structural similarity to native collagen I fibers, particularly for medical-grade poly(ε-caprolactone). These biomimetic fibrillar structures indeed induce a pronounced elongation of human-monocyte-derived macrophages and unprecedentedly trigger their M2-like polarization similar in efficacy as interleukin-4 treatment.
