Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomaterials, and in particular to a biomimetic skeletal muscle material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Skeletal muscle, a common type of muscle tissue, accounts for approximately 40% of the total body weight. Muscle tissue performs basic functions such as daily movement, maintaining balance, and respiration through the force generated by the process of relaxation and contraction. Simultaneously, skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in energy storage, thermoregulation, and basal energy metabolism. Skeletal muscle is a fibrous tissue with a complex, multi-level structure, composed of neatly arranged bundles of multinucleated muscle fibers. These bundles are enclosed by the epimysium, forming muscle tissue. Connective tissue surrounding the muscle tissue is interconnected, allowing blood vessels and nerves to enter along the connective tissue membranes, facilitating substance exchange and enabling skeletal muscle movement and contraction. Skeletal muscle is a highly vascularized and neurally networked tissue. The spaces between the connective tissue membranes are filled with oxygen and nutrients, facilitating energy exchange and maintaining the normal physiological functions of muscle fibers. Skeletal muscle contraction and movement are regulated by motor input through neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), which are specialized synapses between the presynaptic motor neuron terminal and the motor endplate of the postsynaptic muscle fiber. When a nerve impulse reaches the NMJ, it causes acetylcholine-containing vesicles to be released from the axon terminal and bind to ACh receptors (AChRs) on the muscle fiber membrane, generating an action potential. This action potential leads to the release of a large number of calcium ions into the muscle fiber. The calcium ions interact with shielding proteins on actin and myosin filaments, resulting in muscle contraction. Causes of skeletal muscle injury are very common, including muscle contusions from exercise, muscle tears from accidents, and muscle damage from most surgical procedures. In addition, skeletal muscle atrophy caused by disease and aging due to age can also lead to irreversible damage to skeletal muscle tissue. For minor injuries, skeletal muscle has a relatively good regenerative capacity, but severe injuries such as large volume muscle loss (VML) lead to the loss of its inherent regenerative capacity, resulting in irreversible fibrosis and overall loss of muscle function. Currently, effectively treating skeletal muscle wounds and promoting the regeneration of damaged muscle tissue remains a significant clinical challenge. Muscle injury healing is a dynamic and complex physiological process involving three overlapping yet distinct phases: inflammation, repair, and remodeling. These three healing phases involve interactions between various cell types and their products, bioactive factors, and the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, severe injury can lead to physiological imbalances, causing the healing process to halt at one of these phases, resulting in impaired cellular function at the site of injury and hindering normal healing.

[0003] The above brief explanation of muscle anatomy and physiology highlights the importance of the layered fibromuscular structure and its integration with other tissues (including the vascular and nervous systems) for normal tissue function. This structure needs to be maintained and reproduced after injury through the natural repair of skeletal muscle or through targeted regeneration using various treatment methods. Currently, the clinical treatment for VML involves transplanting autologous tissue to the defect area for functional reconstruction. However, this method is limited by insufficient tissue sources and can lead to complications such as wound infection and necrosis. Therefore, seeking a tissue engineering therapy to actively promote muscle regeneration is of great significance.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Skeletal muscle tissue engineering is an emerging discipline in regenerative medicine. It involves constructing muscle tissue in vitro and in vivo using a combination of biological scaffolds, cells, and growth factors to repair or regenerate skeletal muscle tissue lost due to traumatic injury, tumor resection, or muscle disease. After a long period of development, tissue engineering strategies applied to skeletal muscle injury have yielded many significant results, but the optimal methods for scaffold design and cell sourcing have not yet been fully explored.

(3) The scaffold has good biocompatibility, providing a favorable microenvironment for injury healing in the damaged area.

[0042] To achieve at least one of the above-mentioned technical effects, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a biomimetic skeletal muscle material comprising a muscle bundle simulation unit. The muscle bundle simulation unit comprises a first hollow tube with a nanofiber membrane as its wall and a first cell-carrying gel filled within the first hollow tube. The nanofiber membrane is an oriented nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning. The first hollow tube with the nanofiber membrane as its wall is used to simulate the connective tissue membrane of skeletal muscle. Injecting the first cell-carrying gel into it yields a cell-carrying gel-nanofiber membrane composite material, used to simulate the muscle fiber structure of skeletal muscle, i.e., the muscle bundle simulation unit. The imitation of natural tissue components and physiological structures is achieved by combining the oriented nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning with the cell-carrying gel.

The skeletal muscle simulation unit includes a second hollow tube with a nanofiber membrane as its wall and a plurality of muscle bundle simulation units filling the second hollow tube. The plurality of muscle bundle simulation units are arranged in a bundle-like manner along the extension direction of the tube within the second hollow tube.

Specifically, the PLGA electrospinning solution and the gelatin electrospinning solution are spun simultaneously through separate spinnerets and received on the same receiving device to prepare the nanofiber membrane. That is, the PLGA electrospinning solution is spun through one spinneret, and the gelatin electrospinning solution is spun through another spinneret, and the two are spun simultaneously and received on the same receiving device to achieve co-spinning, thus obtaining the PLGA-gelatin nanofiber membrane.

[0049] PCL-PCL nanofiber membranes are prepared by simultaneously spinning two sets of PCL electrospinning solutions through separate spinnerets and receiving them on the same receiving device. Specifically, one set of PCL electrospinning solution is spun through one spinneret, and the other set is spun through another spinneret; both sets are spun simultaneously and received on the same receiving device to achieve co-spinning, thus obtaining the PCL-PCL nanofiber membrane. Furthermore, one set of PCL electrospinning solution spins micron-sized fibers, and the other set spins nano-sized fibers; therefore, the PCL-PCL nanofiber membrane is a micron-nano composite membrane.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the nanofiber membrane constituting each hollow tube is independently modified with gelatin and / or an anticoagulant.

In an optional embodiment, the difference includes different hydrogel materials and / or different concentrations of hydrogels of the same material. In an optional embodiment, when the biomimetic skeletal muscle material includes more than one muscle bundle simulation unit, the hydrogel filled in each muscle bundle simulation unit is the same.

The first cell-carrying gel filled in the biomimetic skeletal muscle material includes pluripotent stem cells and methacrylated hydrogel (GelMA).

[0065] PLGA-gelatin nanofiber membranes are used to simulate skeletal muscle connective tissue membranes. By organically combining nanofibers with an injectable cell-carrying gel, the advantages of synthetic polymer PLGA, natural polymer Gt (gelatin), heparin (Hep), and injectable gel GelMA in terms of composition and properties are complemented, mimicking the physiological composition of normal human skeletal muscle connective tissue. Furthermore, by combining the nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning with the structural characteristics of both the cell scaffold and the injectable gel, a biomimetic skeletal muscle tissue engineering scaffold with the original structure and function of skeletal muscle tissue is prepared, simulating the normal physiological structure of human skeletal muscle.

Stir at 25℃ for 6 hours until completely dissolved to obtain a PLGA electrospinning solution with a mass fraction of approximately 15%. Add the prepared PLGA electrospinning solution to a 5mL syringe. Connect the tip of the syringe to the electrospinning machine via a 20G flat-head metal spinneret and fix the syringe to the injection pump. The inner diameter of the metal spinneret is 1.05mm.

[0106] 6. Dissolve GelMA powder in PBS solution, add photoinitiator LAP (lithium phenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphate), to obtain a 5% (w / w) hydrogel solution. Filter this solution through a 0.2 μm sterile injection filter to obtain the hydrogel solution. Add pluripotent stem cells to the hydrogel to obtain a cell-loaded gel solution.

[0131] Example 3

[0132] Infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to analyze the elemental composition of the heparin-gelatin-PLGA-gelatin nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 1, such as... Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown.

[0133] Infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the characteristic peaks of PLGA were located at 1752 cm⁻¹. -1 1180cm -1 1193cm -1 The peaks at which the stretching vibrations of the C=O double bond, the characteristic absorption peaks of the stretching vibrations of the COC ether bond, and the vibration peaks of the CO single bond appear are observed.

[0134] In the infrared spectrum of the PLGA / gelatin composite fiber membrane, not only the characteristic peaks of PLGA appeared, but also the three characteristic absorption peaks of gelatin: amide I stretching vibration peak, amide II bending vibration peak, and amide III stretching vibration peak (1657 cm⁻¹, 1535 cm⁻¹, 1093 cm⁻¹).

[0135] The infrared spectrum of PLGA / gelatin / heparin not only shows the characteristic peaks of PLGA and gelatin, but also shows peaks in the range of 3300–3480 cm⁻¹. -1 The image shows vibrational peaks for NH and CN. PLGA molecules do not contain NH and CN bonds, while the heparin coating of PLGA-gelatin-HEP is cross-linked onto PLGA through a reaction with gelatin and contains abundant NH and CN bonds.

[0136] Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that PLGA-gelatin-heparin 1 HNMR showed that peak A (5.2 ppm) was -CH in PLGA lactic acid, and peak B (1.6 ppm) was -NH2 on gelatin.

[0137] Example of effect 4

[0138] Cell viability assays were performed using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) to assess cell proliferation in the biomimetic skeletal muscle material prepared in Example 2. In well plates, absorbance values ​​of each solution were measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 of cell-scaffold co-culture, and cell growth bar charts were plotted. Results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, cell activity experiments demonstrated that the skeletal muscle scaffold prepared in Example 1 could regulate cell behavior and promote cell proliferation. Comparing the cell proliferation in the biomimetic skeletal muscle materials prepared in Examples 1-3, it was found that when the hydrogel concentration was between 5% and 10%, the cell proliferation effect improved with increasing hydrogel concentration. When the hydrogel concentration exceeded 10%, the effect on promoting cell proliferation was similar to that at a 10% concentration, and there was no longer a significant improvement.
