Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical supplies, and particularly relates to a silk fibroin / hyaluronic acid interpenetrating network self-adaptive hydrogel scaffold and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often leads to motor dysfunction and even paralysis, usually resulting from traffic accidents, natural disasters, wars, disease complications, and extreme sports accidents. The large patient population and low postoperative excellent recovery rate seriously endanger human health and social and economic development. Although peripheral nerves can spontaneously repair after injury, the limited regenerative capacity of nerve tissue and the harsh requirements for the microenvironment that allows growth have severely limited the rehabilitation effect, especially for long peripheral nerve defects (>5 cm). At present, for nerve transection and short nerve defects (2-4 cm), the nerve can be directly anastomosed by "end-to-end". However, for long nerve defects (>5 cm), tension-free suture cannot be performed clinically, and autologous nerve transplantation is still mainly relied on. However, autologous transplantation has defects such as limited donor, need for secondary surgery, mismatch between donor and recipient size, and formation of neuroma, which hinder the application of this method.
[0003] The construction of nerve repair scaffolds provides an effective method for long nerve defect repair. Currently, clinical commercial scaffolds are mainly divided into two categories. The first category is a hollow conduit of biological materials (usually <4 cm in commercial specifications), such as Neurotube and NeuraGen, which bridges the nerve defect ends to create a locally closed regeneration environment, reducing external inflammatory substance infiltration and also providing an extension channel for regenerating axons. However, due to the lack of three-dimensional structure inside the hollow conduit and insufficient mechanical properties, it cannot effectively guide long nerve regeneration. The second category is a decellularized nerve scaffold (usually <6 cm in commercial specifications), such as Avance and "Shenqiao", which removes the cells and myelin sheath components in allogeneic / xenogeneic nerves, leaving the microtubular array structure of the extracellular matrix in the nerve tissue. This type of product has a three-dimensional structure to a certain extent, guiding nerve regeneration, but the three-dimensional structure of the scaffold collapses easily during decellularization, the inherent microstructure of the nerve changes, and there is a risk of cross-infection and potential immune rejection; in addition, the production raw material is derived from amputated limbs, which also seriously limits large-scale production and application. In summary, the two types of products currently on the market lack nerve induction activity and cannot precisely regulate the nerve regeneration process, and cannot meet the repair needs of long segment nerve defects in the clinic.
[0004] The application constructs a microtubule array biomimetic microstructure by ice crystal template method-freeze drying technology combined with electrospinning technology, provides physical clues for improving optimal directional extension of nerve axons, constructs a physical modulus gradient distribution to meet different requirements of mechanical support and mechanics of proximal and distal ends of nerve regeneration, realizes long-term directional chemotaxis and guidance of nerve scaffolds to axon growth, adjusts the microenvironment through different types of stimulus response functional groups to realize precise dynamic regulation of key links of nerve regeneration. The defects of the above commercialized scaffolds are effectively overcome, and it becomes a potential scheme for repairing long peripheral nerve defects in the clinic. SUMMARY
[0005] The application aims to provide a silk fibroin / hyaluronic acid interpenetrating network adaptive hydrogel scaffold and a preparation method thereof. The adaptive hydrogel has mechanical properties matching natural nerve tissue, meets the modulus dynamic evolution requirement required for proximal to distal repair, precisely regulates the nerve regeneration microenvironment, is finally used for efficient repair of long-distance peripheral nerve defects, and is expected to become an engineered preparation.

[0007] A silk fibroin / hyaluronic acid interpenetrating network adaptive hydrogel scaffold and a preparation method thereof. Specifically, a biomimetic multi-channel micro-pore structure is constructed by ice crystal template method-freeze drying technology, and the three-dimensional structure of the nerve conduit is realized by regulating the ice crystal size, orientation, freeze-drying time and temperature gradient and other parameters. Secondly, the composition ratio, concentration and surface modification functional groups of the HA / SF base are changed to realize the gradient change of the compression modulus of the hydrogel scaffold in the radial direction in the range of 1-10 kPa. The HA grafted diselenium segment can quickly respond to the biological marker (ROS) of nerve regeneration repair in the early stage of repair, so as to release the anti-inflammatory factor IAA to regulate the inflammatory microenvironment; in addition, the dynamic metal coordination bond of magnesium ion obtained after the modification of Pam on the HA molecular chain can be dissociated as needed to release Mg 2+ ; and the growth factor@polymer nanoparticles formed by physical action self-assembly realize long-term sustainable release behavior through the penetration-diffusion mechanism, and comprehensively promote myelin regeneration.

[0173] (7) The three mixed solutions were sequentially injected into a customized mold, one end of the mold was immersed in liquid nitrogen at a speed of 1 mm / min for 1 h, the mold was placed in a freeze dryer for freeze-drying for 48 h, to preliminarily obtain an aerogel scaffold, the aerogel scaffold was soaked in an ice bath crosslinking agent solution for crosslinking, to obtain a hydrogel scaffold. The crosslinking agent was EDC and NHS, the mass ratio of EDC / NHS was 2, and the mass concentration of the crosslinking agent solution was 1%;
[0174] (8) PCL was dissolved in chloroform to obtain a 10% polymer solution, which was subjected to electrospinning treatment at a voltage of 15 kV, a temperature of 30°C, a humidity of 50%, a receiving distance of 15 cm, and a roller speed of 1500 rpm to obtain an oriented electrospinning film;
[0175] (9) The electrospinning film obtained in step (8) was wrapped outside the hydrogel scaffold obtained in step (7) to obtain a final hydrogel scaffold.
[0176] Through Figure 1 Further analysis of the data of the three ratios of SF / HA used in the composite hydrogel scaffold in Example 7 shows that the scaffold has a microtubular array biomimetic microstructure, realizing three-dimensional multi-channel micro-pore structure biomimicry. The scaffold has good hydrophilicity, and the modulus of the three ratio scaffolds can be dynamically regulated between 1-10 kPa, matching the natural nerve tissue. As can be seen from Table 1, the three ratios of SF / HA have obvious differences in mechanical properties, the higher the SF content, the better the mechanical properties, and the slower the degradation rate. After a large number of experimental condition adjustments, the freezing time is finally determined to be 1 h, and the freeze-drying time is 48 h.

[0180] Through Figure 2 Characterization of the morphology, degradation performance, and mechanical characteristics of the scaffolds of Examples 4, 5, 6, and 7 shows that when there is no heat conduction during preparation, the pore structure inside the scaffold does not have a directional arrangement, but is a random pore structure. Through degradation testing, it can be seen that the gradient scaffold will have a gradient degradation process compared to the uniform scaffold, the proximal scaffold degrades faster to provide space for regenerating nerve fibers, and the distal scaffold can better match the regeneration process of the nerve from the proximal to the distal end by providing mechanical support and inducing the migration and growth of various cells of the nerve and the matrix. Through compression and tensile testing of the four groups of scaffolds in the two directions perpendicular and parallel to the radial pores, it can be seen that: first, the scaffolds with oriented pore structures have better mechanical properties than the scaffolds without random pores; second, the tensile properties parallel to the oriented pore structure direction are better than the mechanical properties perpendicular to the direction; finally, we can also see that the gradient scaffold is a continuous and hierarchical structure, and the vertical compression of the gradient scaffold is a smooth curve, the different gradients are well connected, forming a whole scaffold, while the parallel compression curve will have fluctuations when the modulus changes, which can also be seen from the hierarchical fracture of the vertical tensile.
[0181] Figure 3 , 4 The successful synthesis of three types of bioactive factors was verified using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Based on the successful linking of bioactive substances... Figure 5 Characterization was performed using Example 7 and a comparative example lacking precise response from biomarkers and sustained release of growth factors. It was observed that the hydrogel scaffold prepared in Example 7 firstly released anti-inflammatory factors in the first two weeks through intelligent ROS response, and secondly released metal ions on demand through dynamic coordination bond dissociation and repolymerization, while growth factor polymer nanoparticles were released sustainably. Figure 6 As can be seen, the external electrospun membrane of this adaptive hydrogel scaffold has a high degree of orientation, exhibiting significantly different mechanical properties in the parallel and perpendicular directions of the fibers, which helps to enhance the directional guiding effect of the scaffold.
[0182] By culturing Schwann cells and dorsal root ganglia on a scaffold, from Figure 7 As can be seen, the scaffolds exhibit good biocompatibility. Table 1 quantifies cell viability, with cell viability on different scaffolds exceeding 97%. The growth and migration of nerve axons were quantified by the extension length of the dorsal root ganglion on the scaffold. Table 2 shows that the scaffolds with random apertures in Examples 5 and 6 lacked directional induction of nerve axons, with an average nerve axon length of only 500–600 μm after 48 hours. In contrast, Examples 7 and Comparative Example 1, with their directional microchannels, provided physical clues for optimal directional extension of nerve axons, achieving an average nerve axon length of 1000–1300 μm after 48 hours. This demonstrates the directional chemotaxis and guidance effect of the scaffolds on axon growth.
