Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of biomedical and tissue engineering research, and particularly relates to a stem cell preparation sponge patch complex and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Brain diseases refer to nerve tissue damage caused by genetics, congenital brain hypoplasia, brain trauma, brain tumors, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, chemical drug poisoning, etc., covering organic brain damage with abnormal tissue structure and physiological functions. According to the disease causes, brain diseases are divided into three categories: one is cerebral palsy, mental retardation, etc. caused by genetics and congenital dysplasia. One is sequelae of acute brain injury caused by trauma, sequelae of stroke caused by cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Another is chronic degenerative diseases caused by central nerve damage and subsequent senescence and degeneration of nerve cells, including Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy, Parkinson's disease, etc. In China, there are about 10 million new cases of brain diseases every year, and the lethality and disability rate is about 75%. The medical expenses for the treatment of encephalopathy by the country and patient families reach tens of billions of yuan, and it has become one of the major diseases endangering national health.

[0003] Ultimately, brain diseases are nerve tissue damage. As the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system, nerve cells, due to their high degree of differentiation, once damaged, require an extremely slow repair process in mild cases, and irreversible damage in severe cases. Facing the worldwide problem of nerve tissue injury repair, stem cell therapy provides a new approach. Stem cells implanted into the cranial cavity through the intranasal route have become an emerging transplantation method and have received increasing attention. The advantages of stem cell transplantation through the intranasal route include: non-invasive; there is a unique direct channel between the nasal cavity and the brain anatomically. After nasal administration, the drug can bypass the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system, that is, cerebrospinal fluid or brain tissue, to play a therapeutic role after being absorbed through the nose; the nasal mucosa has rich blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, with a large absorption area and convenient conditions for entering the cranial cavity.

[0004] The patent 201810623850.5 previously applied for by the inventor disclosed a stem cell preparation sponge patch complex for treating brain diseases, a preparation method thereof, and an application. This patent application used gelatin as the raw material for preparing the sponge patch. Although the prepared stem cell preparation sponge patch complex has a high porosity, the rigidity between the voids is weak, resulting in the rupture of stem cells during the process of squeezing the material into the lesion, ultimately leading to a decrease in the survival rate of stem cells, and the number of stem cells carried in the pores is small, resulting in a low stem cell loading. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stem cell preparation sponge patch complex and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] A stem cell preparation sponge patch complex, wherein the sponge patch complex is a degradable sponge body infiltrated with a stem cell suspension, and the degradable sponge body is made of gelatin, modified sodium alginate, and a polyethylene glycol-polylysine-polyvaline triblock copolymer; the mass ratio of the gelatin, modified sodium alginate, and polyethylene glycol-polylysine-polyvaline triblock copolymer is 5:(1-6):(1-6).

[0007] The stem cells are neural stem cells.

[0008] The modified sodium alginate is prepared by the following method: dissolving sodium alginate in an aqueous solution with a mass 15-30 times that of sodium alginate, adjusting the pH to 3-5, adding N-hydroxysuccinimide, stirring at 20-30 °C for 1-3 h, then adding L-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride, raising the temperature to 50-70 °C, continuing to stir and react for 1-3 h, stopping stirring, performing sedimentation with ethanol, filtering to collect the precipitate, washing the precipitate with ethanol 2-4 times, and drying in vacuum for 3-5 h to obtain the modified sodium alginate.

[0009] The molar ratio of the carboxylate group in the sodium alginate, N-hydroxysuccinimide, and L-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride is 3:(0.5-3):(0.5-3).

[0010] The density of the stem cell suspension is 8×10 6 -4×10 7 cells / mL.

[0011] The porosity of the degradable sponge body is more than 85%.

[0012] The preparation method of the stem cell preparation sponge patch complex includes the following steps: pre-soaking the degradable sponge body with a culture medium, then taking the pre-prepared single cell suspension of neural stem cells, diluting the suspension to a cell density of 8×10 6 -4×10 7 cells / mL, and fully infiltrating the degradable sponge body with it until it is saturated with absorption.

[0013] The components of the complete medium for neural stem cells are: 1% B27, 1% glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 20 μg / ml bFGF, 20 μg / ml EGF, 50 IU / ml heparin, and the balance is water.

[0014] The culture medium is the complete medium for neural stem cells added with 1 μg / mL of L-carnitine and 3 μg / mL of vitamin E.

[0015] Advantages of the present invention: The stem cell preparation sponge patch complex of the present invention, due to having a certain rigid support, can be directly delivered to the optimal physiological site for cell therapy under the clamping of an instrument, and this process is non-invasive, effectively reducing the pain of patients. The stem cell preparation sponge patch complex of the present invention has the ability to deform while having rigidity. After being delivered to the treatment site, it can be positioned and stuck at this site, thus effectively solving the problem that in the current intranasal transplantation route, due to the mucociliary clearance of the nasal mucosa, the liquid medicines of existing nasal dosage forms, including nasal drops and gels, are unevenly distributed in the nasal cavity and are easily lost from the nasal cavity; the in-situ release of this cell preparation can better promote the absorption of the stem cell preparation and the exertion of the drug effect. The present invention prepares a degradable sponge body with modified sodium alginate and polyethylene glycol-polylysine-polyvaline triblock copolymer, which can accommodate more stem cells, increase the stem cell loading, and add L-carnitine and vitamin E to the complete medium for neural stem cells, improving the survival rate of stem cells.

[0056] Neural stem cell identification:

[0057] 1) Cell morphology detection: Single neural stem cells are spherical. When inoculated with single cells, under culture conditions, as the cells grow, they will spontaneously aggregate and grow into uniform spherical clones. Figure 1 shown.

[0058] 2) Flow cytometric detection of cell markers: Take 1×10 cells 6 The results of flow cytometry detection of cells expressing neural stem cell characteristic proteins Vimentin, Sox2, Nestin, SSEA1, Notch1, and Musashi1 are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the Nestin+ / Sox2+ cell ratio was greater than 90%.

[0059] 3) Cell proliferation ability: Add 100 μL of neural stem cell suspensions of different culture batches and different passages into a 96-well plate, with a cell concentration of 1000 cells / well. Incubate the culture plate in an incubator for 2 - 14 days. Add 10 μL of CCK-8 solution to each well, incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 2 h, and detect the absorbance value at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. Use the data to create a curve with the culture time as the abscissa (X-axis) and the OD value as the ordinate (Y-axis). The doubling time of the cells can be calculated based on this curve to reflect the cell proliferation ability ( Figure 3 ).

[0060] 4) Immunofluorescence detection of cell markers: Take the human neural stem cell suspension, collect the cells, and rinse them 3 times with PBS and fix them with paraformaldehyde. Stain with neural stem cell-specific markers Nestin, Vimentin, Sox1, Sox2, Musashi, Notch1, CXCR4, and SSEA1, as Figure 4 shown.

[0061] Cell seeding:

[0062] 1) Add the corresponding volume of neural stem cell medium according to the type of cell culture container used. The neural stem cell medium is divided into 4 groups. One group is the ordinary neural stem cell medium, one group is the ordinary neural stem cell medium added with L-carnitine (final concentration 4 μg / mL), one group is the ordinary neural stem cell medium added with vitamin E (final concentration 4 μg / mL), and one group is the ordinary neural stem cell medium added with L-carnitine (final concentration 1 μg / mL) and vitamin E (final concentration 3 μg / mL); add 2 mL to each well in a low-attachment 6-well plate, add 5 mL / bottle to a T25 cell culture flask, add 15 mL / bottle to a T75 cell culture flask, and add 50 ml / bottle to a T175 cell culture flask.

[0063] 2) Add the counted cell suspension into the culture container, rinse the container of the original cell suspension with an appropriate amount of medium, transfer it together, and add a certain volume of cell medium. Manually shake the cell suspension evenly. Use a pipette with an appropriate measuring range to pipette under the liquid surface again, mark the cell batch number and cell quantity in the upper left corner of the culture flask, and mark the operator's name and operation date in the lower right corner.

[0064] 3) Observe under an inverted microscope to ensure that the cells are roughly evenly distributed in each culture container. If the cell distribution is uneven, shake the container again. Record the cell status and the medium condition by imaging every two days. This microscopy process should be completed within 5 minutes.

[0065] 4) Immediately place the cell culture container after inoculation and microscopy into an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. Pay attention to keeping the container level during movement. If it is a well plate, keep the well plate covered at all times during movement. If the container is a culture flask, when placing it in the carbon dioxide incubator, the bottle mouth should face left or right, rather than outwards. The container should not be placed close to the door, but should be placed slightly inside to reduce the risk of contamination when opening and closing the door.

The following inoculation of cells onto the material is carried out in this way.

[0092] Determination of the cell-loading capacity of the material: The cells are inoculated onto the material. The cell densities of the first to fourth groups are set at 4×10 7 cells / mL; Take out the sponge, add saline to collect the cells that did not adhere to the sponge during the cell inoculation process; Count the remaining liquid volume and cell concentration, calculate the remaining cell number; According to the adsorption rate = adsorbed cell number / original cell number, the cell adsorption rates of the first to fourth groups are calculated as: 97.8%, 98.5%, 97.5%, 97.8%.

[0093] Detection of the biocompatibility of the material using the material extract: Take a cylindrical sponge patch with a diameter of 8 mm and a thickness of 5 mm after cutting (the sponge patch material is prepared in Examples 2-5), put it into a culture flask, add the neural stem cell culture medium of the first to fourth groups, and place it in an incubator at 37°C for 24 h to prepare a sponge patch extract; Prepare culture media containing material extract concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, and 0% respectively, and store them refrigerated at 4°C for later use; Inoculate the cells into a 96-well plate at a density of 4×10 7 cells / mL, and add the above 4 kinds of concentration material extracts respectively, and place them in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for culture. The experimental groups are set as 2 days, 4 days, 6 days, 8 days, 10 days, 12 days, and 14 days groups; At the set time points, first discard the original culture medium and then add 100 μL of the corresponding culture medium and 10 μL of CCK-8 solution, place it in the incubator for incubation for 2 h, and then measure the absorbance with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay instrument.

Select a sponge patch complex sample with neural stem cells cultured for 4 days, and the cell inoculation density is 4×10 7cells / mL; Discard the original culture medium, wash twice with PBS buffer, add Live / Dead stain (Calcein-AM / PI) to cover the material, place it in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for half an hour, observe and take pictures under a confocal microscope. The fluorescence represents the cell viability staining. Count the survival of the cells and calculate the survival rate:

[0095] Survival rate = number of live cells / (number of live cells + number of dead cells) × 100%

[0100] The sponge patch material was prepared according to Example 2. The neural stem cell culture medium was divided into 4 groups. The first group was the ordinary neural stem cell culture medium, the second group was the ordinary neural stem cell culture medium added with L-carnitine (final concentration 4 μg / mL), the third group was the ordinary neural stem cell culture medium added with vitamin E (final concentration 4 μg / mL), and the fourth group was the ordinary neural stem cell culture medium added with L-carnitine (final concentration 1 μg / mL) and vitamin E (final concentration 3 μg / mL). Select the sponge patch complex samples cultured with neural stem cells for 4 days, and the cell seeding density was 4 × 10 7 cells / mL; Discard the original culture medium, wash twice with PBS buffer, add Live / Dead stain (Calcein-AM / PI) to cover the material, place it in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for half an hour, observe and take pictures under a confocal microscope. The fluorescence represents the cell viability staining. Count the survival of the cells and calculate the survival rate:

[0101] Survival rate = number of live cells / (number of live cells + number of dead cells) × 100%

[0102] The measurement results are shown in Table 4:

[0106] Investigation of in vitro degradation of the patch material: Take 21 samples prepared according to Example 2 and inoculate 4 × 10 7Neural stem cells with a density of cells / mL were cultured continuously; 3 samples were taken at each time point at 0 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days; after washing three times with ultrapure water, the samples were dried at 40°C and weighed; the degree of degradation of the biomaterial was determined by calculating the residual weight. Under the action of cells, the mass of the sponge material was greatly improved compared with the original mass at 8 hours, which was attributed to the swelling of the material; the mass subsequently decreased, and on the 22nd day, the sample was in a gel-like state, which was completely dissolved after washing, achieving complete degradation.
