[0040] In order to make the application purposes, technical solutions and beneficial technical effects of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described in the specification are only for the purpose of explaining the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0041] For the sake of simplicity, only some numerical ranges are explicitly recited herein. However, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range not explicitly recited; and any lower limit can be combined with any other lower limit to form a range not explicitly recited, and likewise any upper limit can be combined with any other upper limit to form a range not explicitly recited. Furthermore, although a range of endpoints is recited, each point or individual number within the range is also included in the range. Thus, each point or individual number can be combined as its own lower or upper limit with any other point or individual number or with other lower or upper limits to form a range not explicitly recited.

[0042] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "above", "below" are inclusive of the number, and the meaning of "multiple" in "one or more" is two and more than two.

[0043] The above application content of the present application is not intended to describe each disclosed embodiment or each implementation in the present application. The exemplary embodiments are illustrated more specifically in the following description. In many places throughout the application, guidance is provided by a series of embodiments, which can be used in various combinations. In each instance, the enumeration is only representative of a group, and should not be interpreted as exhaustive.

[0044] Articular cartilage, lacking blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels, is difficult to repair itself once damaged, eventually leading to the occurrence of osteoarthritis. With the popularity of social fitness exercise, the number of patients with articular cartilage injury is increasing, and the age tends to be younger.

[0045] The surgical treatment of articular cartilage injury mainly includes joint debridement, microfracture, autologous periosteal transplantation, autologous osteochondral transplantation and autologous chondrocyte transplantation. The long-term treatment effect of joint debridement is not ideal and the recurrence rate is high. The new tissue after microfracture is not hyaline cartilage, but fibrocartilage-like repair, which is poor in structure and function. Autologous free periosteal transplantation often uses the periosteum in front of the tibia, but the ability of the periosteum to form cartilage surface is affected by many factors, such as age, donor location, direction of transplantation, etc., and the expected treatment effect is difficult to determine. Autologous cartilage transplantation has good repair effect for small area of cartilage injury, but the supply area is limited, and allogeneic cartilage transplantation has a wide source, but due to the risk of rejection and disease transmission, it is difficult to achieve large-scale clinical application.

[0046] Based on this, the inventors have conducted a large amount of research aimed at providing a composition for repairing cartilage damage, which can efficiently repair cartilage damage while solving the above problems.

[0047] The application provides a decellularized cartilage matrix scaffold and apoptotic body composition for repairing cartilage, comprising:

[0048] The microporous scaffold comprises a decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix and a crosslinked organic polymer;

[0049] The apoptotic bodies are present in the microporous scaffold.

[0050] The microporous scaffold has a volume of 3.14mm 3 The microporous scaffold contains 0.01-0.02ug of apoptotic bodies.

[0051] The vesicles include exosomes, apoptotic bodies, and apoptotic vesicles. Studies have found that compared with traditional repair techniques such as microfracture, stem cells have the potential to form more typical hyaline cartilage and can better control the symptoms of cartilage loss. Compared with autologous chondrocytes, stem cells have a wider source and stronger in vitro expansion capacity, but the use of stem cells may bring problems such as loss of stemness during in vitro transportation and storage, tumorigenicity of stem cells, immunogenicity of stem cells, difficulty in standardizing stem cell therapy, etc. Studies have found that living cells cannot be considered as off-the-shelf products for clinical applications. Instead, stem cell paracrine factors replace stem cell therapy, which can overcome the shortcomings of living cell therapy and provide a cell-free clinically feasible therapy. Compared with traditional stem cell therapy, stem cell paracrine factors have the following characteristics. The currently studied stem cell exosomes have a similar cartilage repair effect as stem cells.

[0052] Further studies have found that apoptotic bodies have the characteristics of easy penetration into tissues, low immunogenicity, and easy storage during tissue regeneration and embryogenesis. Apoptotic bodies produced after cell apoptosis contain a variety of active small molecule substances that promote the repair and regeneration of adjacent cells. Studies have found that most transplanted cells undergo apoptosis in a short period of time after exogenous stem cell transplantation, indicating that stem cell transplantation still plays a certain effect.

[0053] The technical solution of the application uses a decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix scaffold (DCM) to interact with apoptotic bodies, which has a good effect of promoting cartilage regeneration and repair. In addition, in clinical use, the patient's own chondrocytes can be used for preparation.

[0054] In some embodiments, the micro-porous scaffold comprises 95%-99% of the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix based on the total weight of the micro-porous scaffold. The decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix in the above mass fraction exists in the cartilage matrix, which can realize the supporting effect of the scaffold on one hand, and the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix in a suitable mass fraction can promote cell adhesion, proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation on the other hand.

[0055] In some embodiments, the raw material of the cross-linked organic polymer comprises carbodiimide and N-hydroxyl sulfone imide.

[0056] In some embodiments, the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix constitutes a porous support, and the cross-linked organic polymer is distributed on the surface and at least part of the pores of the support. The decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix of the present application can constitute a solid scaffold structure on one hand, and has micro-pores; on the other hand, the distribution of the cross-linked organic polymer on the surface and at least part of the pores of the support can effectively improve the mechanical strength of the support, which is beneficial to subsequent use.

[0057] In some embodiments, the micro-porous scaffold with a volume of 3.14 mm 3 contains 10 4 -10 7 apoptotic bodies. The loading of the appropriate concentration of apoptotic bodies in the appropriate volume of the micro-porous scaffold can improve the combined effect of the apoptotic bodies and the micro-porous scaffold on one hand, and can maintain the vitality of the apoptotic bodies, which can achieve long-term and sustained repair and regulation of the microenvironment.

[0058] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the apoptotic bodies comprises: inducing cell apoptosis of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and continuing to culture in complete medium;

[0059] Taking the supernatant in the complete medium, the apoptotic bodies are obtained from the supernatant.

[0060] In some embodiments, the timing of inducing cell apoptosis of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells is after proliferation, and the density of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in adherent culture is 80-90%. Generally, the density of 50% is used for culture at the initial stage of culture.

[0061] In some embodiments, the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be induced to undergo cell apoptosis by using staurosporine (STS), ultraviolet irradiation or a combination thereof.

[0062] In some embodiments, the apoptotic bodies express proteins Histone H3.3, protein Histone H2B, protein C3b and protein C1QC. The above proteins are unique proteins for identifying apoptotic bodies, and these proteins can be used to determine that these vesicles are apoptotic bodies.

[0063] In some embodiments, the apoptotic bodies have a spherical morphology.

[0064] In some embodiments, the apoptotic bodies are derived from stem cells.

[0065] According to the embodiments of the present application, the apoptotic bodies can promote cell proliferation, migration, and phenotype change of macrophages by activating energy metabolism of cells; the apoptotic bodies and the microporous scaffold in the composition do not contain living cells, thus avoiding the safety hazards caused by the use of exogenous cell transplantation and having high biological safety; the combination of the apoptotic bodies and the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix effectively regulates the cartilage regeneration microenvironment and promotes repair of damaged cartilage.

[0066] In some embodiments, the composition satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0067] The apoptotic bodies are derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells, or a combination thereof; the apoptotic bodies derived from the above sources have better cartilage repair ability and stronger activity.

[0068] The particle size of the apoptotic bodies is 200-4800 nm; the apoptotic bodies with the above particle size are more easily attached to the microporous scaffold and are more easily phagocytosed by endogenous stem cells and macrophages, thereby playing a role in promoting cartilage regeneration and repair.

[0069] The decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix is derived from pigs, cattle, horses, or a combination thereof.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cross-linked polymer can be prepared by carbodiimide and N-hydroxysulfonimide cross-linking, and the cross-linking method can be vacuum dry physical method cross-linking, ultraviolet cross-linking. The cross-linking conditions can be cross-linking of aldehyde compounds for 1h-48h, or cross-linking of carbodiimide compounds for 1h-48h.

[0071] In a second aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of a decellularized cartilage matrix scaffold and apoptotic body composition for repairing cartilage, comprising:

[0072] A decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix solution and an apoptotic body solution are respectively provided;

[0073] The decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix solution is freeze-dried to obtain a microporous solid phase matrix;

[0074] The microporous solid phase matrix is mixed with an organic polymer solution, and cross-linking is performed under heating conditions to obtain a microporous scaffold containing cross-linked organic polymers;

[0075] The apoptotic body solution is dispersed in at least part of the micropores of the microporous scaffold to obtain the composition.

[0076] In some embodiments, the suspension includes a first solute selected from the group consisting of a phosphate, sodium chloride, or a combination thereof.

[0077] In some embodiments, the concentration of the suspension is 0.5%-2%. The solid-phase suspension in the present application can make the structure of the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix have micropores after freeze-drying, which can improve its repair and regulation ability in the later use process, and also can improve the activity of the apoptotic bodies.

[0078] According to the embodiments of the present application, by freeze-drying the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix solution, on the one hand, the activity of the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix can be effectively preserved, which is convenient for its later effect on the damaged cartilage, and on the other hand, part of the solvent in the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix solution can be removed, and the obtained solid material has many micropores, which is convenient for the subsequent slow release and effect of the apoptotic bodies.

[0079] In some embodiments, the concentration of the apoptotic body solution is 0.8-1.2 μg / ml, which can be 1 μg / ml. By selecting the apoptotic bodies with a concentration of 0.8-1.2 μg / ml, the activity of the apoptotic bodies can be maintained, and the effect of repairing the cartilage and regulating the cartilage microenvironment can be improved.

[0080] In some embodiments, after obtaining the microporous scaffold containing the crosslinked organic polymer, the crosslinked microporous scaffold is further rinsed with a buffer and sterilized.
