Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical engineering technology, and in particular to a bio-3D printing ink, a bio-3D printing scaffold, and a preparation method thereof that respond to the microenvironment of bone defects and release oxygen spontaneously. Background Technology

[0002] Bone defects are often accompanied by local microvascular rupture, and regeneration and repair in the hypoxic microenvironment caused by blood supply interruption remains a challenge. On the one hand, hypoxia affects the proliferation and viability of endogenous stem cells; on the other hand, hypoxia induces reductive carboxylation in mitochondria, leading to the large-scale production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

[0003] Bioprinting is a technology that uses a mixture of biological materials and cells as bio-ink to print cell-loaded scaffolds using 3D printing equipment. This technology provides a new strategy for tissue repair in tissue engineering. To ensure that the cells in the bio-ink can survive and proliferate normally after printing, bioprinting typically selects natural polymers as substrate materials, such as gelatin, alginate, collagen, and silk fibroin.

[0004] Currently, bio-3D printed scaffolds based on natural polymers have been extensively studied and widely applied in the field of biomedical materials. For example, patent application publication number CN117205364A discloses a 3D printed bio-ink, a functional scaffold, and its preparation method for bone defect repair, using gelatin and alginate as base materials; patent application publication number CN117159803A discloses a 3D printed bio-ink, its preparation method, and its application, using collagen as the base material. However, in these methods, natural polymer inks typically lack the ability to release oxygen in response to the microenvironment, resulting in poor cell survival in 3D printed cell-carrying scaffolds when facing the hypoxic microenvironment of the defect site.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bio-3D printing ink, a bio-3D printing scaffold, and a preparation method that are responsive to the microenvironment of bone defects and release oxygen. This invention aims to solve the problem that existing natural polymer inks do not have the ability to release oxygen in response to the microenvironment, and that the cell survival of 3D printed cell-carrying scaffolds is poor when facing the hypoxic microenvironment of bone defect sites.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a bio-3D printing ink that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, comprising the steps of:

[0009] Preparation of polydopamine-modified nanoparticles;

[0010] The polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, tyramine-modified natural polymers, and mesenchymal stem cell suspensions are mixed to obtain a bio-3D printing ink.

[0011] Optionally, the nanoparticles are selected from one of hydrotalcite, manganese dioxide, cerium dioxide, and fullerene.

[0012] Optionally, the method for preparing polydopamine-modified nanoparticles includes the steps of: mixing nanoparticles and dopamine hydrochloride at a predetermined mass ratio in a Tris-HCl buffer solution or an alkaline solution (such as sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, ammonia water, etc.) with a pH of 7.5 to 9.0, and then stirring the mixture to obtain polydopamine-modified nanoparticles.

[0013] Optionally, the nanoparticles are mixed with dopamine hydrochloride at a mass ratio of 1:1 to 5:1, and the stirring reaction time is 2 to 12 hours.

[0014] Optionally, the step of mixing the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, tyramine-modified natural polymers, and mesenchymal stem cell suspension to obtain bio-3D printing ink specifically includes: dissolving the tyramine-modified natural polymers in water under sterile conditions, then adding the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, mixing evenly, and then adding the mesenchymal stem cell suspension to obtain bio-3D printing ink.

[0015] Optionally, the bio-3D printing ink contains 5% to 20% tyramine-modified natural polymer, 0.1% to 2% polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, and a concentration of 500,000 to 10,000,000 / mL of mesenchymal stem cells.

[0016] Optionally, the natural polymer is selected from one of gelatin, alginate, collagen, silk fibroin, and hyaluronic acid.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a bio-3D printing ink that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, wherein the ink is prepared by the method described in the present invention.

[0018] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a bio-3D printed scaffold that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, comprising the steps of: using a 3D printing device to print the bio-3D printing ink described in the present invention to obtain a bio-3D printed scaffold.

[0019] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a bio-3D printed scaffold that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, wherein the scaffold is prepared by the method described in the present invention.

[0020] Beneficial Effects: This invention provides a microenvironment-responsive, self-releasing oxygen bio-3D printing ink for bone defects, a bio-3D printing scaffold, and their preparation method. Polydopamine-modified nanoparticles are added to a bio-ink containing tyramine-modified natural polymers and mesenchymal stem cells. Because polydopamine possesses microenvironment-responsive self-releasing oxygen capabilities, the addition of these nanoparticles to the tyramine-modified natural polymer bio-ink increases the self-releasing oxygen capacity of the bio-ink. The bio-3D printing ink, through 3D printing, can produce a bio-3D printing scaffold. This scaffold possesses microenvironment-responsive oxygen release capabilities and good biocompatibility, and can protect the survival and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells within the bio-3D printing scaffold under oxidative stress conditions.

[0025] This invention provides a bio-3D printing ink, a bio-3D printing scaffold, and a preparation method that respond to the microenvironment of bone defects and release oxygen spontaneously. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0026] The inventors discovered that existing technologies have the following drawbacks: a) Natural polymer bio-3D printing scaffolds do not have antioxidant capabilities; b) Natural polymer bio-3D printing scaffolds do not have the ability to release oxygen in response to the microenvironment; c) Natural polymer bio-inks cannot be used together with nanoparticles for cell-borne bio-3D printing; d) Natural polymer cell-borne bio-3D printing scaffolds cannot protect cell survival and proliferation under high oxidative stress.

[0027] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a bio-3D printing ink that can be used to address the microenvironmental response of bone defects. This bio-3D printing ink possesses a self-releasing oxygen capability in response to the microenvironment. Using this bio-3D printing ink to construct bio-3D printed scaffolds, the scaffolds can protect cells to survive and proliferate normally under oxidative stress through microenvironment-responsive self-releasing oxygen, laying the foundation for the widespread application of natural polymer bio-inks in various tissue engineering fields.

[0028] Natural polymers are organic substances that exist in nature and possess a high molecular weight structure. These polymers are typically composed of repeating monomer units and have a high molecular weight. Compared to synthetic polymers, natural polymers are more biocompatible and biodegradable. Natural polymers contain a large number of amino acid residues, allowing their properties to be improved through chemical modification. Tyramine is a polyphenol compound that can undergo a free radical-initiated oxidative polymerization reaction under the combined action of horseradish peroxidase and an oxidant (usually H₂O₂), catalyzing its oxidative polymerization.

[0029] Hydrotalcite is a type of compound with a special layered structure that can recombine divalent and trivalent metal ions. Under certain conditions, electron exchange can occur between these ions, and hydrotalcite can catalyze certain chemical reactions through this process. Dopamine (DA) is a type of catecholamine with the molecular formula C8H2O. 11 NO2, under alkaline conditions, deprotonates and oxidizes the dopamine monomer catechol to form dopaquinone. However, dopaquinone is structurally unstable and will undergo further oxidation, resulting in intramolecular rearrangement and cross-linking, forming dark brown polydopamine. Polydopamine can modify nanomaterials through the auto-oxidative polymerization of dopamine. Due to its adhesiveness, reducing properties, and good biocompatibility, polydopamine has been widely used in biomedical materials.

[0030] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells that can be isolated from a variety of tissues, most commonly bone marrow and adipose tissue. These cells have the ability to self-renew and can differentiate into many different cell types, such as osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes.

[0031] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention modify nanoparticles (NPs) such as hydrotalcite, manganese dioxide, cerium dioxide, and fullerene with polydopamine (PDA). This modification allows the addition of these nanoparticles to bio-inks containing tyramine-modified natural polymers (including but not limited to gelatin, alginate, collagen, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, etc.) and mesenchymal stem cells, thereby endowing the bio-ink with a microenvironment-responsive self-releasing oxygen capability. Furthermore, by constructing a bio-3D printed scaffold using 3D printing equipment, the mesenchymal stem cells within the scaffold can be protected to migrate and proliferate normally under oxidative stress conditions such as inflammation, further expanding the application value of natural polymer materials in the field of tissue engineering.

[0032] Specifically, this invention provides a method for preparing a bio-3D printed scaffold that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, comprising the following steps:

[0033] Preparation of polydopamine-modified nanoparticles;

[0034] The polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, tyramine-modified natural polymers, and mesenchymal stem cell suspensions are mixed to obtain a bio-3D printing ink.

[0035] In this invention, polydopamine-modified nanoparticles are added to a bio-ink containing tyramine-modified natural polymers and mesenchymal stem cells. Because polydopamine possesses a microenvironment-responsive self-oxygen release capability, this increases the self-oxygen release capacity of the bio-ink. The bio-3D printing ink is then used to prepare a bio-3D printed scaffold, which can protect the survival and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells under oxidative stress conditions.

[0036] In one embodiment, the nanoparticles are selected from one of hydrotalcite, manganese dioxide, cerium dioxide, fullerene, etc.

[0037] Taking cobalt-based hydrotalcite (LDH) as an example, the preparation method of cobalt-based hydrotalcite includes the following steps: at room temperature, ZIF-67 is mixed with cobalt nitrate solution and reacted for 5 hours; the precipitate is collected by centrifugation; the collected precipitate is washed successively with deionized water and anhydrous methanol to obtain pure LDH.

[0038] In one embodiment, the method for preparing polydopamine-modified nanoparticles includes the steps of: mixing nanoparticles with dopamine hydrochloride in a Tris-HCl buffer solution or an alkaline solution (such as sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, ammonia water, etc.) with a pH of 7.5 to 9.0, and then stirring the mixture to obtain polydopamine-modified nanoparticles.

[0039] Preferably, the nanoparticles are mixed with dopamine hydrochloride at a mass ratio of 1:1 to 5:1 (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, etc.), and the stirring reaction time is 2 to 12 hours (e.g., 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, etc.).

[0040] Taking polydopamine-modified LDH as an example, the preparation method of polydopamine-modified LDH includes the following steps: mixing LDH and dopamine hydrochloride (DA·HCl) in a certain mass ratio in Tris-HCl buffer solution with pH 8.5, reacting for a period of time, and then washing the product to obtain polydopamine-modified LDH (denoted as LDH@PDA nanomaterial).

[0041] In one embodiment, the step of mixing the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, tyramine-modified natural polymers, and mesenchymal stem cell suspension to obtain bio-3D printing ink specifically includes: under sterile conditions, dissolving the tyramine-modified natural polymers in water, then adding the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles, mixing evenly (which can be achieved by stirring), and then adding the mesenchymal stem cell suspension to obtain bio-3D printing ink.

[0042] In one embodiment, the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles are added in the form of a polydopamine-modified nanoparticle suspension, which is prepared by dissolving the polydopamine-modified nanoparticles in deionized water, phosphate buffer, or Tris-HCl buffer to obtain the polydopamine-modified nanoparticle suspension.

[0043] In one embodiment, the mesenchymal stem cell suspension is obtained by the following method: mesenchymal stem cells are digested with trypsin for 1-5 minutes, then complete culture medium is added to stop the digestion, the mesenchymal stem cells are pipetted off and collected in a centrifuge tube, the complete culture medium is discarded after centrifugation of the centrifuge tube, and the cells are resuspended in complete culture medium to obtain the mesenchymal stem cell suspension.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bio-3D printing ink contains 5% to 20% by mass of tyramine-modified natural polymer (e.g., 5%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%), 0.1% to 2% by mass of polydopamine-modified nanoparticles (e.g., 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%), and 500,000 to 10,000,000 / mL by concentration of mesenchymal stem cells (e.g., 500,000 / mL, 1,000,000 / mL, 1,500,000 / mL, 2,000,000 / mL, 3,000,000 / mL, 4,500,000 / mL, 6,000,000 / mL, 7,000,000 / mL, 8,000,000 / mL, 9,000,000 / mL, 10,000,000 / mL).

[0045] In one embodiment, the natural polymer is selected from gelatin, alginate, collagen, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, etc.

[0046] This invention provides a bio-3D printing ink that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, wherein the ink is prepared using the method described in this invention.

[0047] This invention provides a method for preparing a bio-3D printed scaffold that responds to the microenvironment of bone defects and releases oxygen spontaneously, comprising the steps of: using a 3D printing device to print the bio-3D printing ink described in this invention to obtain a bio-3D printed scaffold.

[0048] In one embodiment, the step of using a 3D printing device to print the bio-3D printing ink described in the embodiments of the present invention to obtain a bio-3D printed scaffold specifically includes:

[0049] Under aseptic conditions, bio-3D printing ink is loaded into a cartridge compatible with the 3D printing equipment. Printing parameters are set, and after adjustment, a plastic pad is placed on the printing platform, and the scaffold is printed according to the predetermined program. Once printing is complete, the scaffold is placed in an enzyme cross-linking agent for cross-linking, thus obtaining the bio-3D printed scaffold. The bio-3D printed scaffold is then transferred to a complete culture medium for cultivation.
