Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomaterials technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a 3D-printed hydrogel scaffold for cartilage repair. Background Technology

[0002] The main chemical components of cartilage are water, collagen, and polysaccharides. Articular cartilage plays a vital role in load-bearing, resisting mechanical stress, and shock absorption. Once cartilage is damaged, it lacks sufficient blood supply to provide adequate nutrition, making it difficult to repair itself. Trauma, disease, and cartilage degeneration often lead to cartilage defects. If these defects are not adequately treated, the joint will undergo irreversible degeneration, potentially resulting in disability.

[0003] Tissue engineering is an emerging technology for cartilage repair and regeneration, and a key objective of this technology is to construct biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials. As a biomacromial complex secreted by cells and immobilized around them, the extracellular matrix plays a crucial role in providing physical support to cells and maintaining cellular evolution and physiological homeostasis. Constructing ECM biomaterials requires that the materials themselves exhibit promoting effects in various aspects of regulating cell behavior and functional expression. Summary of the Invention

The medium was changed with fresh chondrogenic induction medium, and then every two days thereafter. hBMSCs induced by chondrogenic induction medium without scaffold addition served as a control group. After 21 days of culture, differentiated cells were stained with toluidine blue. Based on the fact that Col II and GAG are specific matrices for chondrogenesis, the levels of these two substances secreted during cell culture can be used as evaluation criteria for assessing the scaffold's chondrogenic effect. In this invention, the Col II ELISA kit and the 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue assay were used to determine the Col II and GAG levels during culture for cells co-cultured with the scaffold for 7, 14, and 21 days, as well as for control cells. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7 a represents the toluidine blue staining results. The staining depth of the cells co-cultured with the scaffold is similar to that of the cells in the positive control group (induced by the induction medium), indicating that the scaffold group was successfully induced. The staining depth and density of scaffold A in Example 1 are greater than those of scaffold B in Comparative Example 2, indicating that the 3D printed hydrogel scaffold containing KGN@PLGA microspheres of the present invention has a better induction effect.

[0188] Figure 7 b represents the GAG ​​content detection result. Figure 7 c represents the result of the Col II content detection. According to... Figure 7 As can be seen from b and 7c, the Col II and GAG contents produced by scaffold A in Example 1 are higher than those of the control group and scaffold B in Comparative Example 2, indicating that the 3D printed hydrogel scaffold containing KGN@PLGA microspheres of the present invention has a better induction effect, and the scaffold prepared by the present invention is expected to be applied to the repair of cartilage defects.
