Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogels, and in particular to a hydrogel for exosome delivery and its preparation and application. Background Art

[0002] Clinically, there is a huge demand for repairing critical-size tissue defects, but its treatment still faces severe challenges. Existing therapies, such as autologous tissue transplantation and cell-based therapies, have many limitations, including limited donor tissue, potential immune rejection, the risk of tumorigenesis, high costs, and ethical issues. In recent years, therapeutic strategies based on extracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, have been proposed as new methods to promote tissue regeneration. This is because they contain rich components such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, have the potential to serve as effective drug delivery vehicles, and have many advantages, such as low immunogenicity, easy cross-biological barriers, and easy engineering modification to obtain special functions.

[0003] In existing exosome-based and engineered exosome-based therapies, exosomes are typically mixed with phosphate-buffered saline and injected into the desired treatment area via a syringe and needle. Disadvantages of this approach include rapid diffusion of exosomes through body fluids, difficulty accumulating at the affected site, low bioavailability, and the need for multiple dosing. There are also reports on the use of hydrogels to encapsulate exosomes in therapeutics. Hydrogels are hydrophilic, porous, and flexible materials composed of three-dimensional polymer networks with high water content that closely mimic the extracellular matrix. Over the past few decades, hydrogels have attracted significant research attention due to their promising applications in tissue engineering. However, existing hydrogels typically suffer from low mechanical strength and are prone to rupture when subjected to external tension. They also lack tissue adhesion, hindering good tissue integration and prone to migration from the defect area. Furthermore, due to a lack of exosome binding sites, exosomes are released too quickly, making sustained therapeutic efficacy difficult. There is an urgent need to develop functionally optimized hydrogels for exosome delivery. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, all reagents used are commercially available reagents, and all detection means and methods used are conventional detection means and methods in the art.

[0054] In the following embodiments, the exosomes can be exosomes or engineered exosomes derived from any cell with regenerative properties.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] This embodiment provides a hydrogel for exosome delivery, an exosome-hydrogel system, and a preparation method thereof.

[0057] (S1) Preparation of hydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-A): Hyaluronic acid (HA) was dissolved in MES buffer (pH = 5.3), and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) were added to activate HA for 2 hours. Next, ADH was added to the mixed solution, and the pH was adjusted to 6.8 every 30 minutes for 4 hours. The reaction was then continued for 24 hours without pH adjustment. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was purified by deep dialysis against deionized water (molecular weight cutoff 10,000 MWCO) to obtain hydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid.

[0058] Among them, HA:EDC:HOBT:ADH=1:4:4:20 (molar ratio).

[0059] Aldehydated hyaluronic acid (HA-C) was prepared by dissolving HA in deionized water and reacting it with sodium periodate (NaIO4) in the dark for 6 hours at a molar ratio of HA:NaIO4 = 1:1. The reaction was then terminated by the addition of 1% (final concentration) of ethylene glycol. Following completion of the reaction, the product was thoroughly purified by dialysis against deionized water (molecular weight cutoff 10,000 MWCO) in the dark to yield aldehydated hyaluronic acid.

[0060] Exosome preparation: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were expanded in a conventional culture medium and then cultured for 48 hours in an exosome-free culture medium (37°C, 5% CO2 incubator). The cell culture medium was collected and exosomes were isolated from the culture medium by continuous centrifugation. The continuous centrifugation steps are as follows:

[0061] 1) Centrifuge the collected liquid at 300g for 10 minutes at 4°C, discard the precipitate, and collect the supernatant;

[0062] 2) The collected supernatant was centrifuged at 2000 g for 20 minutes at 4°C, the precipitate was discarded, and the supernatant was collected;

[0063] 3) The collected supernatant was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 30 minutes at 4°C, the precipitate was discarded, and the supernatant was collected;

[0064] 4) Filter the supernatant using a 0.22 μm filter, then centrifuge at 100,000 × g for 90 minutes at 4°C in an ultracentrifuge, discard the supernatant, and retain the precipitate;

[0065] 5) The precipitate was washed with PBS and ultracentrifuged again at 100,000 g for 90 minutes. The resulting precipitate was resuspended in a small amount of PBS to obtain exosomes.

[0066] (S2) The hydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid prepared in step (S1) is mixed with aldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid at a volume ratio of 1:1 to obtain a hydrogel for exosome delivery: HA-A-C hydrogel.

[0067] Further, 50 μg of exosomes are mixed with 0.5 mL of hydrazide-grafted hyaluronic acid (2% by mass), and then mixed with 0.5 mL of aldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (2% by mass), and after mixing, cross-linking is performed to obtain an exosome-hydrogel system.

[0068] Performance analysis:

[0069] HA-A-C reaction principle: As shown in Figure 1 , HA-A and HA-C can be self-assembled and cross-linked by the interaction of ADH and aldehyde groups in a mild and rapid reaction to form a dynamic and reversible C=N covalent bond, thereby realizing self-healing performance; in addition, aldehyde groups can be combined with amine groups on tissues or exosomes.

[0070] Characterization of HA-A: Purified HA-A is dissolved using D2O and detected by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum (NMR). As shown in Figure 2 , the appearance of the ADH characteristic peak indicates the successful synthesis of HA-A.

[0071] Characterization of HA-C: Purified HA-C is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). As shown in Figure 3 , the characteristic peak at 1716 cm -1 indicates the successful synthesis of HA-C.

[0072] Storage modulus and energy dissipation modulus detection of HA-A-C hydrogel: Time scanning oscillation test of different concentrations of HA-A-C hydrogel is carried out in a rotational rheometer under CD mode at 1 Hz and 1% strain, as shown in Figure 4 , the storage modulus of HA-A-C hydrogel increases with the increase of solid content, and the solid content of 3% can exceed 10000 Pa, indicating that the HA-A-C hydrogel has excellent mechanical properties and stability.

[0073] Gelation time detection of HA-A-C hydrogel: The gelation time of different concentrations of HA-A-C hydrogel is tested using the small bottle tilting method. Specifically, the HA-A-C hydrogel is added to a glass bottle and left to stand at 37°C for a period of time. When the HA-A-C hydrogel solution stops flowing after the glass bottle is tilted, the time required for standing is recorded. As shown in Figure 5 , the gelation time of HA-A-C hydrogel is inversely proportional to its concentration, and the concentration changes from 0.5% to 3%, and the gelation time of HA-A-C hydrogel decreases from more than 25 minutes to less than 30 seconds.

[0074] HA-AC hydrogel swelling rate test: HA-AC hydrogels with different concentrations were immersed in DPBS (pH = 7.4) at 37°C for 24 hours. The initial weight of the sample (W0) and the weight of the sample after swelling (W1) were recorded to calculate the swelling rate using the following equation: Swelling rate (%) = (W1 / W0-1) * 100%. Figure 6 As shown, the swelling ratio of HA-AC hydrogels is proportional to their concentration. Hydrogels with higher solid content exhibited greater swelling ratios. When the concentration varied from 0.5% to 3%, the swelling ratios ranged from approximately 7% to approximately 60%. Considering the mechanical properties, gelation time, and swelling ratio, a 2% concentration was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0075] Injectability of HA-AC hydrogel: HA-AC hydrogel was injected into PBS solution and it was found that HA-AC hydrogel had excellent injectability (e.g. Figure 7 shown).

[0076] Rheological characterization of the self-healing behavior of HA-AC hydrogel: HA-AC hydrogel was subjected to oscillation sweep test in the strain range of 1% to 10000% in a rotational rheometer. The damaged HA-AC hydrogel was then allowed to self-heal for 15 minutes, and then the self-healing effect was characterized by time oscillation sweep test. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the hydrogel structure was destroyed with the increase of strain, which was manifested as G" being greater than G'. After allowing the destroyed HA-AC hydrogel to self-heal for 15 minutes, the time oscillation scanning test showed that the destroyed HA-AC hydrogel recovered the initial G' / G", showing significant self-healing performance.

[0077] Macroscopic observation of the self-healing ability of HA-AC hydrogel: HA-AC hydrogel that was gelled into sheets and dyed with different colors was cut into two parts and then attempted to reconnect after exchanging them. Figure 9 Figure 2 shows a macroscopic image of the self-healing properties of HA-AC. A HA-AC hydrogel cut into two pieces attempts to reassemble after exchange. The boundaries of the assembled hydrogel sheet blur at the healing interface, re-forming a new, complete sheet.

[0078] Scanning electron microscopy observation of the microstructure of HA-AC hydrogel: The HA-AC hydrogel was freeze-dried and broken, and then the surface was sprayed with gold. Next, the sample was photographed by scanning electron microscopy (Zeiss, Germany). In order to evaluate the integration of HA-AC hydrogel and tissue, HA-AC hydrogel was applied to the tissue and gelled in situ. After freeze-drying and gold spraying, the sample was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Figure 10To evaluate the excellent tissue adhesion and integration ability of HA-A-C hydrogel, the adhesion interface of hydrogel to tissue was observed using scanning electron microscopy analysis. The seamless contact between HA-A-C hydrogel and tissue confirmed their firm adhesion and integration.

[0079] HA-A-C hydrogel tissue adhesion test: The tissue adhesion was tested using a lap shear test, and fresh skin (10 mm x 10 mm) was adhered to a glass slide using cyanoacrylate glue. The HA-A-C hydrogel was evenly coated on the surface of the skin. Another skin-pasted glass slide was placed on the first glass slide in a skin-to-skin manner. After in situ gelation at 37°C, the bonded test sample was subjected to tensile mechanical testing by a universal testing machine. The tissue adhesion strength of the HA-A-C hydrogel was determined according to the maximum tensile stress divided by the adhesion area. As shown in Figure 11 The results show that the HA-A-C hydrogel exhibits higher adhesion strength than the HAMA hydrogel and commercial fibrin glue. After loading the exosomes (multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel) into the HA-A-C hydrogel, the adhesion strength decreased slightly, which may be related to the occupation of some aldehyde groups by exosomes. However, the multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel still has stronger adhesion than HAMA and fibrin glue.

[0080] HA-A-C hydrogel co-cultured with stem cells cell activity test: MSCs were incubated with HA-A and HA-C and the formed HA-A-C hydrogel using a transwell model to evaluate the cell compatibility of the HA-A-C hydrogel. Cell viability was detected using a CCK-8 kit at set time points 1 day, 3 days, 5 days. As shown in Figure 12 The results show that the hydrogel precursors HA-A and HA-C and the formed HA-A-C hydrogel do not affect cell viability.

[0081] HA-A-C hydrogel co-cultured with stem cells cell apoptosis level test: MSCs were cultured on the surface of HA-A-C hydrogel, and cells seeded in the well plate were used as a control. After 3 days, the apoptosis level was detected using a flow cytometer. As shown in Figure 13 The results show that culturing stem cells on the surface of the formed HA-A-C hydrogel does not significantly change the cell apoptosis rate compared to the control group.

[0082] Exosome distribution in multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel: Exosomes were first mixed in the HA-A hydrogel solution, and then mixed with an equal amount of HA-C solution to gelate. Subsequently, the sample was scanned and reconstructed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. As shown in Figure 14 The results show that the exosomes labeled with red fluorescence are uniformly distributed in the HA-A-C hydrogel.

[0083] Exosome release profile of multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel: Equal amounts of exosomes were added to the HA-AC hydrogel precursor solution and the HAMA hydrogel precursor solution, respectively. After gelation, the samples were immersed in PBS buffer. 10 μL of PBS was collected at different examination time points and supplemented with equal amounts of fresh PBS. The release of exosomes was detected by BCA protein detection kit. Figure 15 As shown in Figure 3, the release profile of exosomes encapsulated in HA-AC hydrogel (multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel) was flatter and lasted longer compared with HAMA, which may be attributed to the binding of exosomes to the aldehyde groups in the hydrogel.

[0084] Micro-CT evaluation of the regenerative and repair effects of a hydrogel / exosome system (multifunctional exosome-delivering hydrogel) on diabetic bone defects: Four-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were fed a high-fat diet for four weeks and then injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin at a dose of 30 mg / kg. One week later, rats with blood glucose levels consistently above 16.7 mM were considered diabetic. Subsequently, the diabetic rats were randomly divided into three groups: 1) Balnk group, 2) Gel group, and 3) Gel-Exo group. Under general anesthesia, the surgical site was shaved and disinfected. A 3 mm diameter and 2.5 mm deep bone defect was created near the medial epicondyle of each rat using a drill. The defects were then fully filled with the different hydrogels, and the surgical site was sutured layer by layer. Four weeks later, the rats were sacrificed, and the femurs were removed and fixed in 10% neutral formalin. The samples were scanned and analyzed using a μCT50 (Scanco Medical, Switzerland) at 70 kVp, 114 μA, and 15 μm resolution. The defect area was selected as the region of interest (ROI) for quantitative analysis of bone volume / tissue volume (BV / TV) and bone mineral density (BMD). Figure 16 As shown in the results, compared with the control group (Blank), the HA-AC hydrogel group (Gel) formed more new bone, and the multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel group (Gel-Exo) showed the best bone regeneration-promoting effect, indicating that the prepared multifunctional exosome delivery hydrogel has good potential for tissue engineering applications.
