A promising strategy to accelerate tissue regeneration is to use bio-membrane onto the surgical site.However, there is a need to control the degradation period of graft materials by related agent to assure cell behavior of wound site of healing process. But using cross-link agents also brings undesired complication because of cytotoxicity.For this reason, the idea cross-link agent with bio-active functions attracts more and more attention.In this study, we loaded EGCG on collagen membrane and investigate its ability to guide tissue regeneration by series of assays.The loaded rate and release kinetics of EGCG-loaded membrane also has confirmed and established the efficacy of EGCG as a cross-link agent. The EGCG-loaded membrane also showed excellent cytocompatibility at moderate concentrations with cells of soft and hard tissue, by cell viability, live/dead and attachment tests.Real-time PCR and ELISA were performed for investigating the changes of gene and protein expression. .Collagen membrane loaded with EGCG obviously down-regulated the expression of inflammatory-related cytokines of cells rather than collagen membrane did.Generally, our results show that EGCG-loaded membrane can be considered as a natural material with desired bio-active functions, and an effective membrane which has potency for clinical applications.
