This study aimed to synthesize cellulose acetate (CA)-based electrospun nanofibers as drug delivery dressings for chronic wound healing. For the first time, CA was blended with polyethylene oxide (PEO) using acetone and formic acid. Methylene blue (MB) was incorporated into monolayered random CA/PEO nanofibers. They had a diameter of 400-600 nm, were hydrophilic, and generated reactive oxygen species upon irradiation. Thus, they mediated antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) against isolated biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial survival, biofilm mass, and produced pyocyanin of the treated groups declined by 90%, 80%, and 3 folds, respectively. On the other hand, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) was loaded into an innovative trilayered aligned nanofiber consisting of CA/PEO surrounding a blank layer of silk fibroin. Cipro and MB release followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. An infected diabetic wound mouse model was established and treated with either MB-aPDI or Cipro. A combined therapy group of MB-aPDI followed by Cipro was included. The combined therapy showed significantly better results than monotherapies delineated by elevation in re-epithelization, collagen deposition, CD34, and TGF-ß expression, along with a decline in CD95+ cells. This study deduced that drug-loaded CA electrospun nanofibers might be exploited in multimodal chronic wound healing.
