Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical materials, and particularly to the preparation of vascular stent coatings, and more particularly to a modified polyester vascular stent coating composite with silk fibroin and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, more and more clinical applications use covered stents to achieve the purpose of treating vascular occlusion. However, in the medium and long term after surgery, complications such as stent migration, endoleak, thrombosis, and restenosis are still likely to occur, resulting in a relatively high proportion of unsatisfactory interventions and the need for postoperative reintervention. These are all clinical problems that need to be urgently solved.

[0003] Silk fibroin is a natural protein derived from animals, composed of 20 amino acids, and has the same components as the extracellular matrix. Existing literature studies have shown that artificial blood vessels constructed with silk fibroin can support the adhesion, growth, and proliferation of vascular cells, can induce endothelialization after implantation to keep blood flow unobstructed, and can in situ induce the regeneration of vascular tissue, and thus has received great attention in the field of vascular tissue engineering materials. Due to its good blood compatibility, it is also a preferred material for surface modification of existing clinically applied synthetic polymers such as polyester or polytetrafluoroethylene coatings.

[0004] At present, the main coating materials for commercial covered stents are polyester and polytetrafluoroethylene. Although these two synthetic materials have excellent mechanical properties, due to their insufficient compliance, it is difficult to fully fit with the blood vessel wall after implantation, resulting in stent slippage, and it is also easy to cause blood turbulence, changing hemodynamics and inducing thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. In addition, due to the defect of its biological inertness, it is difficult to achieve endothelialization after implantation, and it cannot fundamentally solve the technical bottleneck of thrombosis, which is also the main reason for inducing postoperative complications. Especially for the elderly population, not only is the thrombosis incidence high, but their own tissue regeneration ability is weak. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the bioactivity of the inner surface of such synthetic polymer stent coatings - it is hoped that rapid endothelialization can be achieved while maintaining long-term mechanical support after implantation, fundamentally inhibiting the occurrence of thrombosis and inflammation. Therefore, in view of the existing clinical application bottlenecks and the application needs of the elderly, it is necessary to develop a vascular stent coating to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Beneficial effects:

[0023] The technical solution and creativity of the present invention lie in that the thickness of the composite film can be adjusted, and it has superior mechanical properties and biological activity. It has an ultra-thin and uniform thickness, excellent mechanical properties and endothelialization-promoting function, fundamentally solving the technical problems of mismatched compliance performance, easy displacement, inability to endothelialize, and still easy to generate thrombus after operation of polyester or polytetrafluoroethylene vascular stents applied clinically. The modified polyester vascular stent film with composite silk fibroin provided by the present invention can regulate the required thickness, mechanical properties (especially toughness and compliance) and endow it with good biological activity by adjusting the self-assembled layer of silk fibroin, the specifications of polyester filaments and the geometric parameters of tubular woven fabrics, etc.

[0024] The innovation of the present invention lies in the constructed ultrathin and uniform composite silk fibroin modified polyester vascular stent film with a compact structure, including a modified silk fibroin layer and a polyester core layer. The modified silk fibroin layer is a self-assembled layer at the molecular level of silk fibroin. The flowing macromolecular chains of silk fibroin flow, adhere, stretch and orient orderly with the shear force, making the macromolecules in the silk fibroin film arranged orderly. A large interaction force is formed between macromolecules within the layer and between layers. The molecular-level layer-by-layer and orderly self-assembly endows the silk fibroin film with excellent flexibility, especially radial compliance, which cannot be achieved by conventional film-forming methods such as casting method with static air drying / drying.

[0025] Polyester is a rigid fiber. The modified polyester vascular stent film coated with composite silk fibroin of the present invention has a thinner and more uniform thickness compared to the fiber-dense fabric film, and achieves significantly excellent and adjustable compliance, which can match and conform to the stress and strain generated by blood flow in blood vessels, thereby reducing blood flow turbulence caused by non-matching compliance to meet the requirements of vascular biomechanics for maintaining normal blood flow in patients of various ages and constitutions. The innovation of the present invention lies more in the self-assembled layer at the molecular level of silk fibroin in the constructed film, which completely and tightly clamps the large-mesh polyester filaments, preventing slippage between filaments and synergistically creating excellent mechanical properties and excellent anti-leakage properties. Moreover, the silk fibroin films assembled layer by layer in the vascular stent film also have satisfactory biological activity, which can promote the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells, in-situ induce endothelial regeneration, permanently inhibit the occurrence of thrombosis and inflammation. At the same time, the silk fibroin macromolecular chain has abundant functional groups, which can load anti-inflammatory / coagulant drugs and growth factors through methods such as hydrophilic / hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic adsorption, and chemical grafting to create a friendly microenvironment for vascular cells, guide cell behavior and endothelial regeneration, and solve the fundamental problem that existing coated stents in clinical practice cannot be endothelialized, thereby inducing the reformation of thrombosis and restenosis, which is also a problem that cannot be solved by various polyester-dense fabrics.
