Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a dual-responsive hydrogel with a three-dimensional topological structure, a synthesis method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The skin is the largest organ in the human body, covering the entire outer surface of the human body and accounting for approximately 8% of the total body mass. It protects the body from injury and microbial infection, and plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis and protecting internal organs from the external environment. According to statistics, hundreds of millions of people suffer skin trauma each year, either intentionally (such as surgery) or unintentionally (such as burns or abrasions). Therefore, the management and treatment of these wounds are of great social and economic significance.

[0003] Under normal circumstances, wound healing can generally be divided into several overlapping stages, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. Acute wounds usually go through these stages regularly and eventually heal within a few weeks. However, these stages involve complex and coordinated interactions of multiple growth factors and cell types, and do not always proceed in an orderly manner. Many factors such as diabetes, infection, inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can affect one of these stages, causing delayed wound healing or turning into chronic wounds. Chronic wounds are susceptible to microbial infection, which triggers persistent inflammation, increases the concentration of ROS and metalloproteinases (MMPs), destroys the extracellular matrix, and seriously hinders wound healing.

[0004] In clinical practice, wound dressings or skin grafts are commonly used to intervene in the healing of various chronic wounds, which is also the most successful strategy at present. Wound dressings can provide a temporary artificial matrix at the wound surface, and can also load drugs, growth factors or cells, etc., to act on different stages of wound healing and promote wound healing. For many years, researchers have been committed to developing various wound dressings and skin substitutes, and have tried to simulate the microenvironment of the wound surface and skin through cutting-edge technologies such as stem cell biology, nanotechnology and various vascularization strategies. The natural wound microenvironment is mainly composed of ECM (extracellular matrix), which contains cell adhesion sites, biochemical signals, growth factors and various cells. ECM is the key to wound healing, which can provide structural support and signals to regulate cell responses. Natural ECM usually has a unique structure, formed by a variety of protein fibers (such as fibrous collagen and elastin), and its characteristic size ranges from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns. At present, the research on wound dressings mainly focuses on the structural framework of the matrix, focusing on the overall properties of the scaffold material such as mechanics and chemistry, but the topological structure of the scaffold is less considered.

[0005] Studies have shown that the topological structure and characteristic dimensions of the scaffold have a significant impact on cell behavior, which in turn affects the quality of tissue regeneration. For example, the growth direction of cells (such as the arrangement of vascular endothelial cells) is a key factor in controlling the structure and formation of specific tissues; directional polymers and collagen fibers can affect the structure of the extracellular matrix, promote the quiescent keratinocyte phenotype, and prevent scar formation; carbon nanotube arrays can inhibit TGF-β channels, change the composition of the extracellular matrix, inhibit the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and the expression of collagen, and reduce hypertrophic scars. Therefore, introducing appropriate topological structures and arrays in the design of scaffolds is of great significance for promoting wound healing and developing new wound dressings.

[0006] Most of the topological structures reported in the literature are constructed on a two-dimensional matrix based on a top-down or bottom-up method. The characteristic size of the formed topological pattern is relatively simple, with high directionality and order. However, the characteristic size of natural ECM ranges from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns, and it does not have such high regularity. In fact, the normal ECM is composed of a non-directionally arranged matrix, while the tumor-related ECM is arranged in an orderly manner, and the cells in the body live in a three-dimensional rather than a two-dimensional microenvironment. Therefore, constructing a topological structure with graded characteristic sizes and non-directional arrangement inside the three-dimensional scaffold rather than on the surface is very important for simulating natural ECM and promoting wound healing. Summary of the invention

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0018] Drugs (such as hypoglycemic drugs insulin or antioxidants, etc.) and cells can be loaded in the dual-responsive hydrogel network structure with a three-dimensional topological structure of the present invention; hydrogels with different three-dimensional structures and properties can be prepared by adjusting the molecular weight of the polymer, the ratio of functional groups (amino, phenylboronic acid, aldehyde and hydroxyl) in the polymer, and the content of magnetic nanomaterials.

[0019] The second technical solution of the present invention: a product for guiding cell growth and repairing chronic diabetic wounds, which is made of drugs and the dual-responsive hydrogel with a three-dimensional topological structure.

[0020] The preparation method of the product for guiding cell growth and repairing chronic diabetic wounds comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a polymer material containing amino and phenylboronic acid functional groups, a polymer material containing aldehyde and hydroxyl functional groups, and a magnetic nanomaterial with hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups on the surface with a drug, placing the mixture in a magnetic field for orientation, and allowing the mixture to stand to obtain the product for guiding cell growth and repairing chronic diabetic wounds.

[0057] 177 mg 3-carboxyphenylboronic acid and 123.3 mg N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) were added to a 250 mL round-bottom flask, and 60 mL methanol was added to dissolve. After stirring at room temperature for 20 min, 166.3 mg 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) and chitosan solution (0.5 g dissolved in 60 mL 0.3 wt% acetic acid) were added. After stirring at room temperature for 24 h, the reactants were transferred to a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 12 kDa and dialyzed in deionized water for 48 h, with water replaced every 4 hours. The dialyzed sample was freeze-dried to obtain a white powder product, namely CSPBA.

[0058] (2) Preparation of aldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEGCHO)

Filter the reactants to remove the precipitated N, N'-dicyclohexylurea (DCU). After the filtrate is concentrated, it is recrystallized with isopropanol, and the crude product is washed three times with isopropanol and ice ether; after vacuum drying to remove the solvent, wash with water to remove excess DCC, and freeze-dry to obtain a white powder product, which is PEGCHO.

[0060] (3) Preparation of magnetic halloysite nanotubes (MHNTs)

[0061] Weigh 250 mg of halloysite nanotubes and disperse them in 20 mL of deionized water by ultrasonic to obtain a dispersion. Then, add 580 mg of FeCl 3 6H 2 O and 480mg FeSO 4 7H 2 O was added to the above dispersion, the mixed solution was filled with nitrogen, stirred at 60°C for 15 minutes, then 5mL of 25wt% ammonia solution was added, the temperature was raised to 70°C, and the mixed solution was finally reacted for 4 hours. During the reaction, nitrogen was filled throughout the process. MHNTs were separated with the assistance of a magnet and washed with water and ethanol five times until the pH of the solution was neutral. The sample was vacuum dried at 60°C to obtain the final product MHNTs. The transmission electron microscopy image of the prepared magnetic halloysite nanotubes is shown in Figure 1 , the magnetization curve is shown in Figure 2 It can be seen that the prepared magnetic halloysite nanotubes have good paramagnetism.

[0062] (4) Weigh CSPBA, add deionized water to prepare a CSPBA solution with a concentration of 20 mg / mL, adjust the pH value to 7.4, then add a certain amount of insulin, stir to fully dissolve it to obtain a CSPBA / insulin solution (the concentration of insulin in the CSPBA / insulin solution is 6 mg / mL); weigh a certain amount of PVA and PEGCHO, add deionized water to prepare PVA and PEGCHO solutions with a concentration of 16 mg / mL, respectively, adjust the pH value to 7.4, mix the two in equal volumes, and then add a certain amount of MHNTs (the final concentration of MHNTs is 0.54 mg / mL), stirred to disperse evenly, and obtained PVA / PEGCHO / MHNTs dispersion; CSPBA / insulin solution and PVA / PEGCHO / MHNTs dispersion were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1, and stirred rapidly to mix them evenly. Strong magnets (permanent magnets made of neodymium, iron and boron alloy) were immediately placed at equal distances (4 cm) on both sides of the mixed solution to provide a 0.02 Tesla linear uniform magnetic field environment, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 5 minutes to obtain CSPBA / Oxd / MHNTs composite drug-loaded hydrogel. The scanning electron microscope image of the prepared hydrogel is shown in Figure 3 It can be seen that the prepared hydrogel has a coherent network structure; the time scanning rheological diagram is shown in Figure 4 It can be seen that the hydrogel has a faster gelation speed and better elasticity.

The dialyzed sample is freeze-dried to obtain a white powder product, oxidized dextran (Oxd).

[0067] (2) Weigh a certain amount of CSPBA, add deionized water to prepare a CSPBA solution with a concentration of 20 mg / mL, adjust the pH value to 7.4, then add a certain amount of insulin, stir to fully dissolve it to obtain a CSPBA / insulin solution (the concentration of insulin in the CSPBA / insulin solution is 6 mg / mL; weigh a certain amount of Oxd, add deionized water to prepare an Oxd solution with a concentration of 40 mg / mL, adjust the pH value to 7.4, then add a certain amount of MHNTs (the final concentration of MHNTs is 0.54 mg / mL) g / mL), stirred to disperse evenly, and obtained Oxd / MHNTs dispersion; CSPBA / insulin solution and Oxd / MHNTs dispersion were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1, and stirred rapidly to mix them evenly.

The release curves of hydrogels for insulin under different conditions are shown in Figure 5 It can be seen that insulin can be continuously released in the hydrogel. Lowering the pH value in the release medium or increasing the glucose concentration in the medium can accelerate the release of insulin. It also shows that the hydrogel has pH and glucose responsiveness. The three-dimensional topological structure in the hydrogel, that is, the orientation of the magnetic halloysite tube in the hydrogel, is shown in Figure 6 ,Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the magnetic halloysite tubes are oriented along the direction of the magnetic field in the hydrogel to form a topological structure.

[0080] (5) The CSPBA solution was mixed with the PVA / PEGCHO / MHNTs dispersion at a volume ratio of 1:1 and stirred rapidly to make them fully mixed. A strong magnet (permanent magnet made of neodymium, iron and boron alloy) was immediately placed at an equal distance (4 cm) on both sides of the mixed solution to provide a 0.02 Tesla linear uniform magnetic field environment. The mixture was allowed to stand for 5 min to obtain a dual-responsive hydrogel with a three-dimensional topological structure. The rheological time scan of the hydrogel was shown in FIG.

[0089] (2) Weigh 16 mg of PVA and dissolve it in 1 mL of deionized water. Stir and dissolve at 90° C., then cool to room temperature and adjust the pH to 7.4 to obtain a PVA solution.

[0090] (3) Weigh 16 mg of the PEGCHO prepared in step (2) of Example 1 and dissolve it in 1 mL of deionized water. Stir and dissolve at room temperature. Adjust the pH to 7.4 to obtain a PEGCHO solution.

[0091] (4) 0.5 mL of PVA solution and 0.5 mL of PEGCHO solution were mixed and stirred evenly. 0.96 mg of MHNTs prepared in step (3) of Example 1 were added to the PVA / PEGCHO mixed solution and stirred to disperse evenly to obtain a PVA / PEGCHO / MHNTs dispersion.

[0092] (5) CSPBA solution and PVA / PEGCHO / MHNTs dispersion were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1, and stirred rapidly to make them fully mixed. Strong magnets (permanent magnets made of neodymium, iron and boron alloy) were immediately placed at equal distances (4 cm) on both sides of the mixed solution to provide a 0.02 Tesla linear uniform magnetic field environment. The mixture was allowed to stand for about 5 minutes to obtain a dual-responsive hydrogel with a three-dimensional topological structure loaded with drugs. The growth of HSF in the hydrogel is shown in Fig.11 It can be seen that the cells grow well in the hydrogel, indicating that the hydrogel has good biocompatibility. The growth orientation of HSF in the hydrogel is shown in Fig.12 , we can see the growth trend of cells along the arrangement direction of magnetic nanotubes (blue is the cell nucleus, black is the magnetic nanotubes), indicating that the topological hydrogel has a guiding effect on the cell growth orientation.

[0094] (1) Dispersing magnetic halloysite nanotubes in PBS (pH 6.0) to obtain a halloysite nanotube dispersion with a concentration of 10 mg / mL; dissolving collagen in PBS (pH 6.0) to obtain a collagen solution with a concentration of 6 mg / mL; mixing the collagen solution and the magnetic halloysite nanotube dispersion, evacuating the mixture at 30°C (vacuum pressure of 5 mm Hg) for 10 h, and then centrifuging the reaction mixture, washing with deionized water, and freeze-drying to obtain collagen-modified magnetic halloysite nanotubes (Col-MHNTs).

[0095] (2) Weigh 16 mg of the CSPBA prepared in step (1) of Example 1 and dissolve it in 1 mL of deionized water. Stir and dissolve at room temperature. Adjust the pH to 7.4 to obtain a CSPBA solution. Add the HSF cells to the CSPBA solution and gently stir to mix well to obtain a CSPBA / cell mixture.

[0096] (3) Weigh 16 mg of PVA and dissolve it in 1 mL of deionized water. Stir and dissolve at 90° C., then cool to room temperature and adjust the pH to 7.4 to obtain a PVA solution.

[0097] (4) Weigh 16 mg of the PEGCHO prepared in step (2) of Example 1 and dissolve it in 1 mL of deionized water. Stir and dissolve at room temperature. Adjust the pH to 7.4 to obtain a PEGCHO solution.

[0098] (5) 0.5 mL of PVA solution and 0.5 mL of PEGCHO solution were mixed and stirred evenly, and 0.96 mg of collagen-modified magnetic halloysite nanotubes were added to the PVA / PEGCHO mixed solution and stirred to make it dispersed evenly to obtain a PVA / PEGCHO / Col-MHNTs dispersion.

[0099] (6) The CSPBA solution was mixed with the PVA / PEGCHO / Col-MHNTs dispersion at a volume ratio of 1:1, and stirred rapidly to make them fully mixed. A strong magnet (permanent magnet made of neodymium, iron and boron alloy) was immediately placed at an equal distance (4 cm) on both sides of the mixed solution to provide a 0.02 Tesla linear uniform magnetic field environment. The mixture was allowed to stand for 5 minutes to obtain a dual-responsive hydrogel with a three-dimensional topological structure loaded with drugs. The three-dimensional topological structure in the hydrogel, i.e., the orientation of the magnetic halloysite tubes in the hydrogel, is shown in FIG. Fig.13 ,Depend on Fig.13 It can be seen that the magnetic halloysite tubes are oriented along the magnetic field direction in the hydrogel to form a topological structure. The growth of HSF in the hydrogel is shown in Fig.14 It can be seen that the cells grow well in the hydrogel (green is live cells, red is dead cells), and the number of cells on the seventh day increased significantly, indicating that the hydrogel has good biocompatibility. Fig.15 Compared with the saline control group, the wound healing rate of the hydrogel dressing-treated mouse group was faster, indicating that the hydrogel can promote the repair of diabetic wounds.
