Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of skin repair materials, and particularly relates to a material for promoting damage repair and anti-scarring, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein only provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Severe scar hyperplasia after large-area skin injuries such as knife cuts and burns seriously affects the morphological and functional recovery of patients after healing, which is one of the difficult problems in clinical medicine. Factors such as collagen metabolism imbalance, fibroblast proliferation and contraction, and changes in the proportion of proteoglycan components in the dermal matrix are the basis for the formation of hypertrophic scars after burns. At present, relevant scholars are actively searching for artificial or natural antagonist factors, such as anti-TGF factor - interferon, etc. However, the results are not satisfactory or have not been used clinically.
[0004] The wound healing dressings and repair materials in the prior art can promote the growth of new epidermal tissues to a certain extent, but the new tissues often gradually grow into scars, with a large difference in tensile strength and apparent appearance from the original skin tissue, and the wound healing time is still relatively long. Especially when used for the repair of large-area and deeper wounds, the obvious scars after healing may have an adverse impact on the patient's life. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a material for promoting damage repair and anti-scarring, and a preparation method thereof. This material can not only promote wound healing but also inhibit the formation of hypertrophic scars.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0007] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of a material for promoting damage repair and anti-scarring, including the following steps:
[0008] Mix a biologically active conjugated linoleic acid with a mixed solution of an alkali solution and a soluble salt (calcium or zinc) to obtain a conjugated linoleate solution, and adjust the pH value of the conjugated linoleate solution to 5 - 8 with an acid; the soluble salt is a soluble calcium salt and / or a soluble zinc salt;
[0009] Add the conjugated linoleate solution to a biogenic gel material, and the mass ratio of the conjugated linoleate to the biogenic gel material is 1:10 - 50. After mixing evenly and reacting, a conjugated linoleate gel is obtained.
[0010] Biogenic gel materials provide a scaffold for the proliferation of fibroblasts, contribute to the remodeling of collagen components, prompt fibroblasts to arrange and distribute regularly, and form collagen fibers with normal structural morphology. In addition, they also have the functions of inducing and regulating the ingrowth of host cells and new blood vessels, and promoting epithelial formation. In addition, extracellular matrix proteins can also promote the regeneration of epidermal cells.
[0011] Conjugated linoleate has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, experimental models have demonstrated that conjugated linoleate can reduce the production of inflammatory mediators such as arachidonic acid, prostaglandins, and histamine by keratinocytes, thereby resulting in a reduction in itching in the case of atopic dermatitis and having the effect of maintaining the biological activity of biogenic gel materials.
[0012] Calcium-based materials are used for bone tissue repair; zinc-based materials are used for soft tissue repair; calcium-zinc-based materials are used for the simultaneous repair of hard and soft tissues, such as filling the alveolar socket after tooth extraction, which requires both meeting the regeneration of alveolar bone and achieving the rapid repair and coverage of the wound surface by gingival soft tissue.
[0013] The formation mechanism of scars is persistent local inflammation and excessive collagen deposition. Mast cells around the wound tissue can stimulate fibroblast proliferation by releasing IL-4, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), resulting in an increase in type I collagen synthesis. During the proliferation, re-epithelialization, and remodeling stages, there are a large number of M2 macrophages around the wound tissue that promote angiogenesis and collagen deposition. M2 macrophages can promote the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts by secreting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and platelet-derived growth factor-CC (PDGF-CC), both of which promote collagen deposition and scar formation. TGFβ1 mediates the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), which is a marker of myofibroblasts. The material prepared by the present invention can rapidly promote wound repair, shorten the wound healing time, avoid scar formation, and is biodegradable and absorbable by upregulating the expression of angiogenesis genes (bFGF and VEGF) and downregulating the expression of fibrosis genes (TGF-β1 and α-SMA).
[0014] In some embodiments, the soluble salt is a mixture of calcium chloride and zinc chloride, and the mass ratio of calcium chloride to zinc chloride is 1-10:1.
[0015] In some embodiments, in the mixed solution of the alkali solution and the soluble salt, the concentration of the soluble salt is 1%-10%, where % is the mass percentage;
[0016] The concentration of the alkali solution is 1%-20%;
[0017] The alkali solution is selected from lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, or francium hydroxide.
[0018] Preferably, the alkaline solution is selected from sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Through experiments, it was found that when the alkaline solution is other alkaline solutions such as calcium hydroxide, no reaction occurs and layering occurs, and the expected product cannot be obtained.
[0019] In some embodiments, the acid is hydrochloric acid, glacial acetic acid, citric acid or lactic acid.
[0020] In some embodiments, the biogenic gel material is selected from one, two or more of natural collagen, recombinant collagen, sodium hyaluronate, and extracellular matrix.
[0021] In some embodiments, it further includes the steps of preparing a damage repair and anti-scar sponge: loading the conjugated linoleate gel into a mold and freeze-drying it gradient to obtain a conjugated linoleate sponge;
[0022] Thermally crosslink the conjugated linoleate sponge at 100-120 °C for 10-100 h to obtain the damage repair and anti-scar sponge. It can not only meet the mechanical properties of the material after crosslinking but also ensure the biological activity of the material.
[0023] Preferably, it further includes the step of encapsulating the prepared conjugated linoleate gel or damage repair and anti-scar sponge in a medical packaging bag and sterilizing it with 6-20 KGy of gamma rays.
[0024] Preferably, the material of the mold is Teflon material.
[0025] In some embodiments, the biogenic gel material is acellular extracellular matrix gel, and its preparation method is: scraping the grease on the surface of the animal peritoneal tissue, washing until there is no grease, dehydrating with acetone, and degreasing with n-hexane;
[0026] Mix the degreased membrane tissue with pepsin or nuclease for enzymatic hydrolysis, dialyze the enzymatic hydrolysate to remove immunogenicity, and obtain the extracellular matrix after freeze-drying;
[0027] Dissolve the extracellular matrix in phosphate buffer to obtain acellular matrix gel.
[0028] Preferably, the gradient freeze-drying is: rapidly freezing the mixture at -30 to -80 °C first, and then drying by gradually increasing the temperature.
[0029] Preferably, the mass ratio of the degreased membrane tissue to pepsin is 10-100:1;
[0030] The mass ratio of the degreased membrane tissue to nuclease is 50-150:1.
[0031] Preferably, the dialysis membrane used for dialysis is a 10-50 kDa dialysis membrane.
[0032] Second aspect, the present invention provides a material for promoting injury repair and anti-scarring, which is prepared by the preparation method.
[0033] The beneficial effects obtained by one or more embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0034] In the prior art, the scar repair material products mainly composed of polydimethylsiloxane only have the function of anti-scarring, cannot be used for unhealed wounds, and have no effect of promoting wound healing. The material prepared by the present invention can rapidly promote wound repair, shorten the wound healing time, avoid scar formation, and is biodegradable and absorbable;
[0035] The material prepared by the present invention can rapidly guide natural tissue regeneration rather than scar healing;
[0036] The material prepared by the present invention has no chemical cross-linking agent. The conjugated linoleate sponge is prepared by the step-by-step vacuum freeze-drying and thermal cross-linking technology, which protects the uniform structure of the sponge and avoids the formation of crystal structure. At the same time, the residual chemical cross-linking agent may cause the risk of tissue toxicity in the body. The material prepared in the present invention has no chemical cross-linking agent, which reduces the verification link of chemical residues in the production process; compared with cross-linking processes such as ultraviolet or γ-ray, it avoids the damage of active ingredients in the material. It protects the active ingredients of the conjugated linoleate sponge and improves the biocompatibility and biological activity of the overall material.
[0037] It is prepared by uniformly mixing and reacting self-made conjugated linoleate (calcium zinc, etc.) with biogenic materials (extracellular matrix, sodium hyaluronate, collagen, etc.). The material promotes injury repair and anti-scar formation by up-regulating the expression of angiogenesis genes (bFGF and VEGF) and down-regulating the expression of fibrosis genes (TGF-β1 and α-SMA).

[0098] 1.1 Measurement method
[0099] Compare the porosity of the zinc conjugate linoleate sponge prepared in Example 1 with that of the collagen sponge (a commercially available product). The drainage method is used, that is, by means of cyclic vacuum pumping, the gas in the internal pores of the material is discharged and filled with liquid, and the percentage of the weight of this part of the liquid in the total weight of the material is calculated. Weigh about 0.1 g (W1) of the dried sample, cut it into strips and put it into a volumetric flask filled with water. Cyclically pump vacuum until no more bubbles overflow from the surface of the sample and the sample sinks to the bottom. Weigh the volumetric flask containing the sample and water (W2), then take out the sample containing water inside, weigh the remaining volumetric flask and water weight (W3), and calculate the porosity (P). The formula is as follows:
[0100] P = (W2 - W3 - W1) / (W2 - W3) × 100%.

[0149] Example 4 In vivo Degradation Detection of Materials
[0150] 1. Animal test method: Select SD rats, anesthetize them, shave the hair on their backs, disinfect with medical iodine, make four skin incisions on both sides of the midline of the back, insert forceps through the incisions, and bluntly separate to prepare subcutaneous sacs. The bottom of the sac is 10 mm away from the incision, and they are marked as ①, ②, ③, ④ respectively. Place a zinc conjugate linoleate sponge prepared in Example 1 into each of the sacs ①, ②, and ③, and cut the size of the zinc conjugate linoleate sponge to 1 cm × 1 cm. ④ is the blank control and no treatment is done. Use absorbable suture to suture the incisions to ensure that the implants do not contact each other.
[0151] The positions of the implantation points and the sampling times of the implants are as follows:
[0152] ④ Blank ① - 1 Week ③ - 13 Weeks ② - 4 Weeks
[0153] 2. The wound tissues were taken for anatomical observation at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 13 weeks respectively. It was found that undegraded materials were clearly visible under the skin in the samples taken after 1 week, a small part of undegraded materials could be observed in the samples taken after 4 weeks, and the materials were completely degraded at 13 weeks. See Figure 3 。

[0155] Example 5 Performance Test of Materials on Scar Repair
[0156] 1. Establish a scar model on the ears of rabbits
[0157] Adult healthy rabbits were selected. The ears of the rabbits were disinfected with 75% ethanol, and the ears of the rabbits were scratched with a scalpel, with the wound being about 2 cm. On the 6th day after the operation, the wound surface scabbed. The wound surface was cleaned with 75% ethanol. On the 21st day after the operation, the zinc conjugate linoleate gel prepared in Example 1 was applied to the wound surface of the left ear of the rabbit, and no treatment was done to the right ear.
[0158] 2. Repair test of zinc conjugate linoleate gel on scars
[0159] 2.1 Starting from the 21st day after the operation, the wound surface was cleaned with 75% ethanol, and the zinc conjugate linoleate gel prepared in Example 1 was applied to the scar wound surface of the left ear of the rabbit, and no treatment was done to the right ear, once a day.
[0160] 2.2 On the 45th day after the operation, the healing conditions of the left ear and the right ear were observed. After the zinc conjugate linoleate gel was applied to the left ear of the rabbit, the scar healed, and there were obvious scars on the untreated wound surface of the right ear, as Figure 4 shown.
[0161] 2.3 Summary: Under the conditions of this test, the zinc conjugate linoleate gel has the performance of repairing the formed scars.
[0162] Example 6 Performance Test of Repairing Defective Skin in Rats
[0163] 1. Two wound marks were made on the left and right sides of the back of the rats using a circular scale mold with a diameter of 1 cm. The marked back tissues were cut off with a scalpel. The same materials were filled on the left and right sides of the same rat, and different materials were used for different rats in the wound healing test. At the same time, a blank control group and a trauma control group were added.
[0164] 2. The material groups are as follows in the table:
[0165] Grouping Filling Material Group 1 Zinc Conjugated Linoleate Sponge Prepared in Example 1 Group 2 Collagen Material Group 3 Sodium Hyaluronate Material Group 4 Zinc Conjugated Linoleate Sponge Prepared in Comparative Example 2
[0166] 4. Experimental Observation: The wound healing conditions of different materials were observed on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 15th, 21st, and 36th days respectively. On the 4th day after surgery in rats, a flexible ruler was used to measure the wound size, which was similar to the size during the operation, and the wound showed basically no change. On the 7th day after surgery in rats, the wound was measured with a flexible ruler, and all wounds became smaller, with a diameter of approximately 0.5 cm. On the 15th day after surgery in rats, there was a circular defect with a diameter of approximately 0.1 cm in Group 1, and circular defects with a diameter of approximately 0.3 cm in Group 2 and Group 3. On the 21st day after surgery in rats, there was a linear defect of approximately 0.1 cm × 0.5 cm in Group 1, a circular defect of approximately 0.2 cm × 0.3 cm in Group 2, and a circular defect of approximately 0.2 cm × 0.3 cm in Group 3. On the 36th day after surgery, tissue samples of all wounds were taken for pathological sectioning. The wound healing conditions are as Figure 5 shown.
[0167] On the 36th day after surgery, the skin in Group 1 and Group 4 had basically recovered, while scar formation occurred in Group 2 and Group 3, as Figure 6 shown.
[0168] Tissue samples of the wounds on the 15th day were taken to evaluate the repair effect at the levels of related gene expression and protein. The selected genes were: transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Pathological sections of the wound tissue on the 36th day were taken for HE staining.
[0169] As Figure 7 shown, in the early and middle stages of epidermal formation, the RNA expression levels of angiogenesis genes (bFGF and VEGF) in each treatment group (Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3) were higher than those in the blank control group and the wound control group, and the up-regulation amplitude in Group 1 was the largest, significantly higher than that in the wound group; the RNA expression levels of fibrosis genes (TGF-β1 and α-SMA) in each treatment group (Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3) were lower than those in the blank control group and the wound control group, and the down-regulation amplitude in Group 1 was significantly higher than that in the wound group. The up-regulation of angiogenesis genes (bFGF and VEGF) and the down-regulation of fibrosis genes (TGF-β1 and α-SMA) indicate that the material has anti-scar formation activity during epidermal formation. As Figures 8 - 11 shown, the immunohistochemical results were consistent with the corresponding gene expression results, verifying that the material has an anti-scar effect at the levels of gene expression and protein.
[0170] The results of HE staining are shown in Figures 12 - 19In all sections of Group 1, wound healing was observed. The epidermis was keratinized stratified squamous epithelium; beneath it was fibrous tissue, which, upon Masson staining, was shown to be mainly composed of collagen fibers. In all sections of Group 2, wound healing was observed. The epidermis was keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, but a thinner area was seen in the local dermis, presumably the skin adjacent to the wound; beneath it was fibrous tissue, which, upon Masson staining, was shown to be mainly composed of collagen fibers. In all sections of Group 3, wound healing was observed. The epidermis was keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, but a thinner area was seen in the local dermis, presumably the skin adjacent to the wound; beneath it was fibrous tissue, which, upon Masson staining, was shown to be mainly composed of collagen fibers. In all sections of Group 4, wound healing was observed. The epidermis was keratinized stratified squamous epithelium; beneath it was fibrous tissue, which, upon Masson staining, was shown to be mainly composed of collagen fibers. At the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, localized infiltration of inflammatory cells was seen (within the dotted line).
[0171] It can be seen that the wound recovery effect of Group 1 was better than that of Group 2, Group 3, and Group 4. The wound tissue healed faster and the anti-scar effect was better. In Group 4, due to the too low content of zinc conjugated linoleate, inflammatory cell infiltration occurred, and the overall repair effect was worse than that of Group 1. This experiment proved that the zinc conjugated linoleate sponge of Group 1 had an anti-scar effect.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications.
