Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the interdisciplinary field of materials, life sciences and medicine, and relates to a novel biomimetic construction method for periosteal tissue. This method constructs periosteal tissue by activating the organism's own regenerative ability through active biomaterials, which can treat bone / cartilage defects or deformities caused by diseases or trauma. Background Technology

[0002] Periosteum, a fibrous tissue covering the surface of major long bones in the human body, is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), blood vessels, and nerve endings, and is crucial for bone development and post-traumatic repair. Developing periosteum-like materials to treat autologous bone / cartilage defects has become an effective new strategy. Currently, various periosteum-like materials based on organic or composite materials have been developed, but most suffer from drawbacks such as complex fabrication, insufficient osteogenic differentiation capacity, and lack of or very low bioactivity. Their therapeutic effects on critical bone / cartilage defects or ischemic osteonecrosis are poor, especially in elderly patients. Furthermore, the limited availability of autologous periosteum tissue cannot meet the repair needs of critical defects.

[0079] In vivo construction of periosteum-like tissue for the treatment of autologous skull defects in mice

[0080] The purpose of this embodiment is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of in vivo periosteum-like tissue in mice on a 5 mm diameter defect in the autologous skull.

[0081] Grouping:

[0082] SPF-grade male C57BL / 6 mice, aged 8 weeks, were randomly assigned to groups. The experimental groups are as follows:

[0083] quantity 6 6

[0084] Preparation of periosteum-like tissue: The BMP-2 / CS-containing scaffold described in Example 1 was implanted subcutaneously, and periosteum-like tissue was generated after 1 week of development. The periosteum-like tissue was removed, and a 5mm diameter disc-shaped periosteum-like tissue was obtained by trimming it using a 5mm inner diameter punch.

[0085] Autologous periosteum tissue transplantation: After anesthetizing mice, the skin on the mouse's head was incised with a scalpel to expose the skull. A 5mm skull defect was created using a 5mm outer diameter circular saw, and the autologous periosteum tissue prepared in the previous step was transplanted to the skull defect. After suturing the skin, the mice were placed on a temperature-controlled platform until they woke up. Samples were taken and tested at predetermined time points. In the control group, only a 5mm skull defect was created in the mice, and then the wound was sutured.

The images demonstrate that the constructed periosteum-like tissue can rapidly repair bone defects.

[0088] Figure 14 and 15 The results showed that the bone volume / total volume (BV / TV) and bone mineralization density (BMD) of the periosteum-like tissue formed in mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material were significantly higher than those of the blank control group, indicating that the constructed periosteum-like tissue has a better repair effect.

[0089] Figure 16 The H&E stained sections shown indicate that the periosteal tissue formed in mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material can survive at the defect site after transplantation, differentiate into osteoblasts, and effectively integrate with the defect margin, achieving a good repair effect.

[0090] The results of Examples 2 and 3 show that the periosteal tissue constructed from the BMP-2 / CS active material prepared in Example 1 has a structure and function similar to the natural periosteal tissue, and can effectively repair autologous skull defects. It is expected to be applied to the repair of various bone / cartilage defects.

[0091] Example 4

After one week of feeding, the constructed periosteum-like tissue was harvested. A portion was used for macroscopic photography, tissue sectioning, and flow cytometry analysis, while the other portion was used for autologous cranial defect transplantation therapy.

[0095] Figure 18 The H&E stained sections shown indicate that the periosteal tissue formed in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material has a microstructure similar to that of the natural periosteal tissue.

[0096] Figure 19 The EMCN and CD31 immunofluorescence staining results show that the periosteum-like tissue formed in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material has abundant CD31. + EMCN + Vascular networks, similar to the natural periosteum, can serve as effective grafts for the treatment of bone / cartilage defects.

[0097] Figure 20 The EMCN and Osterix immunofluorescence staining results show that the periosteal tissue formed in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material has abundant osteogenic progenitor cells, similar to the natural periosteum, and can serve as an effective graft for the treatment of bone / cartilage defects.

[0098] Figure 21 The EMCN and Aggrecan immunofluorescence staining results show that the periosteum-like tissue formed in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material has abundant chondrogenic progenitor cells and a very strong chondrogenic differentiation capacity. Similar to the natural periosteum, it can be used as an effective graft for the treatment of bone / cartilage defects.

[0101] The purpose of this embodiment is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of periosteum-like tissue constructed in elderly mice on a 5mm diameter defect in the autologous skull.

[0102] Grouping:

[0103] SPF-grade male C57BL / 6 mice, 52 weeks old, were randomly assigned to groups. The experimental groups are as follows:

[0104] quantity 6 6

[0105] Preparation of periosteum-like tissue: The scaffold containing BMP-2 / CS described in Example 1 was subcutaneously implanted in the back of 52-week-old male C57BL / 6 mice, and periosteum-like tissue was generated after 1 week of development. The periosteum-like tissue was removed and trimmed into 5mm diameter disc-shaped pieces using a 5mm inner diameter punch.

[0106] Autologous periosteum tissue transplantation: After anesthetizing mice, the skin on the mouse's head was incised with a scalpel to expose the skull. A 5mm skull defect was created using a 5mm outer diameter circular saw, and the autologous periosteum tissue prepared in the previous step was transplanted to the skull defect. After suturing the skin, the mice were placed on a temperature-controlled platform until they woke up. Samples were taken and tested at predetermined time points. In the control group, only a 5mm skull defect was created in the mice, and then the wound was sutured.

[0107] Figure 22 This image shows the experimental process of using BMP-2 / CS-containing bioactive material to form periosteum-like tissue in aged mice for the treatment of autologous skull defects in these mice. As shown in the image, the constructed periosteum-like tissue, after trimming, effectively covers the defect site, achieving rapid repair.

[0109] Figure 24 and 25 The results showed that the BV / TV (bone volume / total volume) and BMD (bone mineralization density) of the periosteum-like tissue repaired in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material were significantly higher than those in the blank control group, indicating that the constructed periosteum-like tissue has a better repair effect.

[0110] Figure 26 The H&E stained sections shown indicate that the periosteal tissue formed in aged mice containing BMP-2 / CS active material can survive at the defect site after transplantation, differentiate into osteoblasts, and effectively integrate with the defect margin, achieving a good repair effect.

[0111] The results of Examples 4 and 5 demonstrate that the periosteum-like tissue constructed in aged mice using the BMP-2 / CS active material prepared in Example 1 possesses a structure and function similar to autologous periosteum, and can effectively repair bone defects in elderly patients where repair of critical bone defects is difficult. This method holds promise for application in the repair of bone / cartilage defects in various elderly patients with poor autologous bone / cartilage conditions.
