Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, and in particular to a method for inducing cartilage differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and a composition and application thereof for promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage. Background Art

[0002] Articular cartilage, often described as "hyaline" cartilage, facilitates load transfer to bone and smooth joints more durably than any synthetic analog, but has limited regenerative capacity. As a result, cartilage defects often fail to heal and progressively induce degenerative changes, ultimately leading to osteoarthritis (OA). Adequate and effective methods for regenerating cartilage damage are essential to prevent or delay the onset of OA. Despite extensive research and development, no surgical, material-based, cell-based, or drug-based treatment has been able to predictably and durably restore the structure and function of hyaline cartilage.

[0003] At present, the treatment of OA mainly includes measures such as controlling pain, reducing inflammation, improving joint function and delaying the progression of the disease. Although there are common treatment methods such as microfracture and autologous chondrocyte implantation in clinical practice, these methods still have many limitations. For example, although microfracture can stimulate cartilage repair, the biomechanical properties of the repaired tissue formed are often different from those of the original cartilage; although autologous chondrocyte implantation can achieve relatively ideal cartilage regeneration, it is complicated to operate, costly, and has problems such as low cell survival rate and unstable effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to improve the problems such as the difference in biomechanical properties between the repair tissue formed by the current technology and the original cartilage, complex operation, high cost, low cell survival rate, unstable effect, etc.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for inducing chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, comprising: inoculating on a matrix for culturing, the surface of the matrix having a plurality of bumps, the plurality of bumps being arranged at equal intervals along any extension direction of the surface of the matrix; the height of the bump is not greater than 2 μm, the ratio of the width of the bump to the spacing between two adjacent bumps is 1:0.8-1.2, and the spacing between two adjacent bumps is not less than 25 μm; the method further comprises: spreading the mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of the matrix for culturing to obtain mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation; wherein the surface of the matrix includes the surface of the bumps and the surface of the recesses between the bumps.

[0006] The present application cultivates mesenchymal stem cells by paving the entire surface of a matrix with a certain bump structure. The height difference between the bumps and the recesses produces a stable mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells, which can simulate the biomechanical properties of natural chondrocytes arranged along collagen fibers, so that the mesenchymal stem cells obtain corresponding mechanical properties, produce mechanical memory, promote their cartilage differentiation, and make the repair tissue formed by the subsequent promotion closer to the original cartilage. At the same time, by adjusting the spacing between two adjacent bumps, the mechanical stimulation generated by the mesenchymal stem cells can be accurately controlled. In addition, by generating a stable mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells through a matrix with a certain bump structure, no additional mechanical loading of external force is required, which simplifies the establishment of a mechanical loading model of the cells in vitro, and also reduces the risk of bacterial infection of the cells during the mechanical loading process in vitro.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between two adjacent bumps is 25-200 μm.

[0008] The present application can generate appropriate mechanical stimulation to mesenchymal stem cells by setting the distance between two adjacent protrusions within an appropriate range, thereby facilitating the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between two adjacent bumps is 50-100 μm.

[0010] The present application further sets the distance between two adjacent bumps within a more suitable range, thereby producing more suitable mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells, thereby being more conducive to promoting the cartilage differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the matrix includes a cross-linked product of gelatin and transglutaminase; the volume ratio of gelatin to transglutaminase is 8-12:1.

[0012] The present application uses a cross-linked product of gelatin and transglutaminase as a matrix, which is beneficial to the culture of mesenchymal stem cells and produces appropriate mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, mesenchymal stem cells are plated on the surface of a matrix and cultured at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 for 3-6 days.

[0014] The present application promotes the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage by plating mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of a matrix and culturing them under suitable conditions for a suitable period of time.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the seeding density of mesenchymal stem cells plated on the matrix surface is 5×10 3 -10×10 3 / cm 2 .

[0016] The present invention is to seed the matrix surface with mesenchymal stem cells of appropriate density and spread them on the matrix surface, thereby facilitating the stable growth and cartilage differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0017] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a composition for promoting articular cartilage regeneration, comprising mesenchymal stem cells having mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation obtained by the method provided in the first aspect.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the composition further comprises a hydrogel or a substance promoting cartilage differentiation, and the concentration of the mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of cartilage differentiation in the composition is 8×10 3 -12×10 3 / μL.

[0019] The present application ensures that the composition contains an appropriate concentration of mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation, thereby facilitating the regeneration of articular cartilage when it subsequently comes into contact with articular cartilage.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the substance promoting cartilage differentiation includes at least one of KGN, psoralen, and vitamin C.

[0021] The present application can promote the regeneration of articular cartilage by adding a substance promoting cartilage differentiation into the composition, thereby synergistically promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage with mesenchymal stem cells having mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation.

[0022] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides the use of the composition provided in the second aspect in the preparation of a drug for promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage.

[0023] The mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation in the composition of the present application can effectively differentiate into chondrocytes, thereby effectively promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage; therefore, when used in the preparation of drugs for promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage, the regeneration of articular cartilage can be effectively promoted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to the conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0032] In order to improve the problems of the repair tissue formed by the current technology, such as the difference in biomechanical properties between the original cartilage and the complex operation, high cost, low cell survival rate, unstable effect, etc., the present application embodiment provides a method for inducing mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into cartilage, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: inoculating on a matrix 1 for culturing, the surface of the matrix 1 has a plurality of bumps 11, and along any extension direction of the surface of the matrix 1, the plurality of bumps 11 are arranged at equal intervals; the height of the bump 11 is not greater than 2 μm, the ratio of the width of the bump 11 to the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11 is 1:0.8-1.2, and the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11 is not less than 25 μm; the method also includes: spreading mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of the matrix 1 for culturing to obtain mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation; wherein the surface of the matrix 1 includes the surface of the bump 11 and the surface of the recess 12 between the bumps 11, the bump 11, the recess 12.

[0033] The present application is to culture mesenchymal stem cells by paving the surface of a matrix 1 having a certain bump 11 structure as a whole, and the boundary height difference between the bump 11 and the recess 12 produces a stable mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells. The structural setting of the matrix 1 can simulate the mechanical environment of the surface chondrocytes of the cartilage tissue in the body, change the environment in which the mesenchymal stem cells are located, so that the mesenchymal stem cells obtain corresponding mechanical properties, produce mechanical memory, and directly affect the adhesion, morphology, migration and proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells, thereby promoting the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage, so that the repair tissue formed by the subsequent promotion is closer to the original cartilage. At the same time, by adjusting the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11, the mechanical stimulation generated by the mesenchymal stem cells can be accurately controlled. In addition, the matrix 1 with a certain bump 11 structure produces a stable mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells, without the need for additional mechanical loading of external force, which simplifies the establishment of the in vitro mechanical loading model of the cells, and also reduces the risk of bacterial infection of the cells during the in vitro mechanical loading process.

[0034] As an example, the ratio of the width of the bump 11 to the distance between the two bumps 11 can be, but is not limited to, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.2. The width of the bump 11 is substantially close to the distance between the two bumps 11, which can ensure stable mechanical stimulation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11 is 25-200 μm. Further, the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11 is 50-100 μm. As an example, the spacing between two adjacent bumps 11 can be, but is not limited to, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 70 μm, 75 μm, 80 μm, 85 μm, 90 μm, 95 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm. By setting the distance between two adjacent protrusions 11 within a suitable range, suitable mechanical stimulation can be generated on the mesenchymal stem cells, thereby facilitating the differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells into cartilage.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the preparation method of the matrix 1 includes:

[0037] (1) Mold preparation: The glass substrate is cleaned by soaking in piranha solution (sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide solution in a ratio of 3-5:1), and the dried glass substrate is coated with hexamethyldisilane (HMDS) by vapor deposition for 5-10 minutes, and then the photoresist AZ5214 is coated on the HMDS-treated glass substrate by spin coating (3000-3500 rpm for 30-40 seconds), and placed on a 90-95° C. hot stage for 2-5 minutes for pre-baking to remove the solvent, and the photoresist is exposed to light using an ultraviolet exposure device through a designed mask, and the exposed area of ​​the photoresist is removed by a developer, and the glass substrate is rinsed with deionized water and dried with compressed air to obtain a template with a bump 11 structure; polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is then cast on the template at 70-80° C. for 2-4 hours, and after removing the template, a PDMS mold with a groove structure is obtained;

[0038] (2) Preparation of substrate 1: A low-adhesion tape with a thickness of 50-60 μm is attached to the opposite sides of the cleaned glass substrate to control the thickness of substrate 1 to be consistent. A 10% gelatin solution and a 10% transglutaminase (MTG) solution are prepared in a water bath at 55-65° C., and the solutions are filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The gelatin solution and the MTG solution are mixed at a volume ratio of 8-12:1 to form a mixed solution. 100-150 μL of the mixed solution is dropped on the center of the glass substrate and covered with a PDMS mold with a groove structure. The substrate is cross-linked and cured at room temperature for 30-50 min. The PDMS mold is peeled off to obtain a substrate 1 with a certain bump 11 structure. The substrate is sterilized by ultraviolet for 30-40 min for use.

[0039] As an example, the volume ratio of gelatin to transglutaminase can be, but is not limited to, 8: 1, 9: 1, 10: 1, 11: 1, 12: 1. Using a cross-linked product of gelatin and transglutaminase as the matrix 1 is conducive to culturing mesenchymal stem cells and generating appropriate mechanical stimulation to the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, mesenchymal stem cells are plated on the surface of the matrix 1 and cultured for 3-6 days at 37°C and 5% CO2. As an example, the mesenchymal stem cells can be plated on the surface of the matrix 1 for, but not limited to, 3 days and 6 days. Passage is performed every 3 days. The mesenchymal stem cells are plated on the surface of the matrix 1 and cultured for a suitable time under suitable conditions to promote the chondrogenic differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the seeding density of mesenchymal stem cells plated on the surface of the matrix 1 is 5×10 3 -10×10 3 / cm 2Mesenchymal stem cells are seeded at an appropriate density on the surface of the matrix 1 and spread on the surface of the matrix 1, which is conducive to the stable growth and cartilage differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application provide a composition for promoting articular cartilage regeneration, comprising mesenchymal stem cells having mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation obtained by the above method.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the composition for promoting articular cartilage regeneration contains only mesenchymal stem cells having chondrogenic differentiation mechanical memory obtained by the above method.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the composition further comprises a hydrogel or a substance promoting cartilage differentiation, and the concentration of the mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of cartilage differentiation in the composition is 8×10 3 -12×10 3 / μL. The composition is ensured to contain an appropriate concentration of mesenchymal stem cells with mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation, which is beneficial to promote the regeneration of articular cartilage when it comes into contact with articular cartilage later.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the substance promoting cartilage differentiation includes at least one of KGN, psoralen, and vitamin C. Adding the substance promoting cartilage differentiation into the composition can promote the regeneration of articular cartilage in synergy with mesenchymal stem cells having mechanical memory of chondrogenic differentiation.

[0046] The present application provides an application of the above-mentioned composition in the preparation of a drug for promoting articular cartilage regeneration. The mesenchymal stem cells with chondrogenic differentiation mechanical memory in the composition of the present application can effectively differentiate into chondrocytes, thereby effectively promoting articular cartilage regeneration; when used in the preparation of a drug for promoting articular cartilage regeneration, it can effectively promote articular cartilage regeneration.
