Abstract

Tissue engineering will provide the most therapeutical strategy of medicine currently and in future. Most of the current investigations concerning regenerative medicine involves development of supporting and structural materials scaffold . Chitosan, as a biomaterial, is a focus of interest in tissue engineering by presenting the following features such as being a natural polymer, having a porous structure, being reliable to chemical modifications, easy-to-use in gel form, being biocompatible, and crating non-toxic metabolites. Derivatives of chitin and chitosan are widely used as biomaterials in many fields. Being cell friendly and easy-to-be degraded by lysosomal activity results in its wide usage in bioengineering. Investigations pointed out its positive effect on tissue growth and tissue layering rates. Possesing a similarity to glycosaminoglycans in tissue matrix, chitosan is defined as a highly suitable biomaterial in connective tissue regenation and organogenesis. In vivo studies represented its effects on increasing number of skin fibroblasts. Membranous form of chitosan has a positive impact on the cellular attachment and penetration. Considerable mitogenic activity of chitosan in tissue engineering is related to its high degree of deacetylisation. Chitosan, as an organic biomaterial, is strongly preserving its current importance strongly based on its flexibility according to different conditions

Abstract

Doku mühendisliği günümüzde ve gelecekte tıbbın en önemli tedavi stratejisini oluşturacaktır. Günümüzde rejeneratif tıpta süregelen araştırmaların çoğu doku mühendisliğinde biyomateryallerle oluşturulan destek ve yapı malzemesinin scaffold geliştirilmesi üzerinedir. Bir biyomateryal olan kitozanın doğal bir polimer olması, gözenkli bir yapıya sahip oluşu, kimyasal modifikasyonlara uygunluğu, jel formunda kullanılabilirlik özelliği, biyouyumlu olması ve metabolitlerinin toksik olmaması; doku mühendisliğinde ilgi odağı olmuştur. Kitin ve kitozan türevi bileşiklerin, biyomateryal olarak çok çeşitli alanlarda kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Kitozan türevlerinin hücre uyumlu oluşu ve lizozimler tarafından yıkılabilmesi bu alanda kullanımını oldukça arttırmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalarda kitozanın in vitro kültür ortamlarında dokuların büyüme hızı ve doku tabakalanması üzerine olumlu bir etkisi olduğu gösterilmiştir. Kitozanın, dokuların matriks içeriğinde bulunan glikozaminoglikanlara benzerliği nedeniyle bağ dokusu tamirinde ve organogeneziste oldukça uygun bir biyomateryal olduğu belirtilmektedir. In vivo çalışmalarda da kitozanın deri fibroblastlarında sayısal bir artışa neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Kitozanın membran formu değişik doku kültürlerinde hücre tutunması ve hücreye penetrasyonu üzerine olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Kitozanın doku mühendisliğindeki önemli derecedeki mitojenik aktivitesinin yüksek oranda deasetile olabilmesine bağlanmaktadır. Organik bir biyomateryal olan kitozanın güncelliğini önemli derecede koruması kuvvetli ölçüde şartlara gore değiştirilebilen formuna dayanmaktadır
