Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a directional osteochondrocyte scaffold for in-situ deposition of drugs and genes. Background Art

[0002] Clinically, vertical integration of newly formed cartilage with subchondral bone and subsequent subchondral bone regeneration are crucial for mitigating tissue deterioration. Simultaneous regeneration of bone and cartilage is challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity of bone and cartilage, making simultaneous osteochondral regeneration a promising research direction. However, many studies in the literature focus primarily on cartilage scaffolds in osteochondral tissue engineering, often overlooking the need for subchondral bone regeneration.

[0003] The key to achieving high-quality osteochondral repair and regeneration lies in constructing an osteochondral scaffold with a native tissue biomimetic hierarchical structure. At present, there are many technologies to manufacture double-layer or multi-layer osteochondral scaffolds, such as hydrogel precursor solution layered preparation method, 3D printing, electrospinning, microfluidics, magnetron method and buoyancy drive method. However, most of the existing methods involve complex multi-step manufacturing processes, which hinders their practical application. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN114681677A discloses a cartilage scaffold material and its application in cartilage scaffold construction, wherein the cartilage scaffold material includes hydrogel, cartilage fragments and chondrocyte spheres. The present application prints a mixture of cartilage fragments and chondrocyte spheres, and the two complement each other. And the Chinese patent with publication number CN110368529A discloses a full-layer repair scaffold for cartilage or subchondral bone and its preparation method, which includes: preparing a gradient soft skeleton, preparing a double-layer scaffold, and preparing a full-layer repair scaffold finished product. The application uses buoyancy-driven pore-making technology to construct a porous structure with gradient density in the cartilage layer.

[0004] Hydrogels, the most typical polymer materials with three-dimensional network structures, have attracted widespread attention due to their outstanding characteristics, including high water content, tunable mechanical properties, excellent biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Advances in hydrogel material design have revolutionized the way biomedical problems are addressed, including osteochondral tissue engineering. Due to their similarities to the natural extracellular matrix, hydrogels are one of the most attractive materials for osteochondral tissue engineering.

[0005] Due to the significant heterogeneity of cartilage and bone, different drugs or growth factors need to be loaded onto the scaffold in a gradient and released in a continuous response to simultaneously repair bone and cartilage. However, most scaffolds currently rely on a single bioactive factor to repair osteochondral cartilage, failing to achieve simultaneous repair and integration of bone and cartilage.

[0006] There are many methods for loading bioactive agents onto stents, but physical adsorption alone is not robust enough, significantly reducing the drug's efficacy during use. Furthermore, the more tenacious covalent chemical interactions can affect the release of bioactive agents, increasing the uncontrollability of drug release. Due to its dynamic reversibility, physical interaction is a more efficient and controllable drug loading method than physical adsorption and covalent crosslinking.

[0007] Therefore, how to simplify the preparation method of osteochondral scaffolds and integrate multiple factors to simultaneously achieve the repair and integration of cartilage and bone is currently a research hotspot in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a directional osteochondral scaffold for in situ deposition of drugs and genes. The preparation method provided by the present invention is simple and rapid, and the prepared directional osteochondral scaffold has stable mechanical properties, self-healing ability, reactive oxygen capture ability and drug controlled release ability. In addition, the preparation method provided by the present invention realizes the spatial integration of multiple factors, and simultaneously realizes the repair and regeneration of cartilage and bone and the integration of new cartilage and subchondral bone.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] The method for preparing a directional osteochondrocyte scaffold for in-situ deposition of drugs and genes provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0036] (1) Prepare a patterned hydrogel film by pouring the hydrogel precursor solution into a customized mold, letting it stand for 24 hours, and removing the mold to obtain a patterned hydrogel film including upper and lower grooves.

[0037] (2) 6 mg of catechol-containing polyphenol compound was added to a buffer solution (pH = 8.5), and the cartilage repair and regeneration drug nanoparticle suspension was added to the solution and quickly transferred to the upper groove of the patterned hydrogel. The cartilage repair drug @ catechol-containing polyphenol compound nanoparticles were in situ synthesized on the patterned hydrogel film. The reaction mechanism is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the catechol groups on the catechol-containing polyphenolic compound can further complex with metal ions. Therefore, the cartilage repair and regeneration drug @ catechol-containing polyphenolic compound can be combined with the hydrogel film and in situ deposited on the hydrogel film.

[0038] (3) The bone regeneration gene drug / CaCl2 solution and Na2HPO4 solution are mixed and quickly transferred to the lower groove of the patterned hydrogel film, and the bone regeneration gene drug@calcium phosphate nanoparticles are prepared in situ on the patterned hydrogel film. The reaction mechanism is as follows Figure 2As shown, the interaction between calcium ions and the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the hydrogel film enables the bone repair gene drug @calcium phosphate to be deposited in situ on the patterned hydrogel film, thereby forming a mineralized hydrogel for bone regeneration.

[0039] (4) The hydrogel patch was rolled into a cylindrical shape using the film rolling method to form a directional osteochondral scaffold (4 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height).

[0042] (1) Synthesis of 2-ureido-4[lH]-pyrimidinone-modified gelatin. Under nitrogen atmosphere and reaction conditions of 80°C, 5g of gelatin was dissolved in 50mL of anhydrous DMSO. After the gelatin was completely dissolved and cooled to room temperature, 0.25g, 0.5g and 0.75g of 2-ureido-4[lH]-pyrimidinone (UPy-NCO) were added dropwise to the gelatin solution.

The resulting hydrogel precursor solution was poured into a custom mold, allowed to stand for 24 hours, and then removed from the mold to obtain a patterned hydrated hydrogel membrane. The length ratio of the upper groove to the lower groove of the patterned hydrogel membrane was 1:2.

[0065] Methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) was used as the patterned substrate. 3+ As metal ions, KGN@PDA and mi-RNA26a@CaP were used as in situ deposited nanoparticles as examples to illustrate the preparation of directional osteochondral scaffolds.

[0066] (1) Gelatin was added to phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and stirred at 50°C with a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 500 rpm until the gelatin was completely dissolved. Then, methacrylic anhydride (MA) was added dropwise to the dissolved gelatin solution at a rate of 0.2 mL / min using a microinjection pump. The mixed solution was reacted at 50°C with a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 500 rpm for 2 h.

[0068] (3) Preparation of a patterned GelMA-Fe membrane: The resulting hydrogel precursor solution was poured into a custom mold, cured under UV light for 5 min, allowed to stand for 24 h, and then removed from the mold to obtain a patterned hydrogel membrane.
