Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medical and biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a joint microenvironment regulating hydrogel and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Osteoarthritis, as a chronic degenerative disease, has become the most common one among skeletal muscle diseases. The primary cause of the disease is mainly due to the wear and tear and damage of the cartilage. The cartilage tissue has extremely low self-repairing ability in the adult state, and is almost in a state of stagnation, which means that once the cartilage is damaged, the body is difficult to repair through its own physiological mechanism. This feature makes the treatment of osteoarthritis particularly tricky. At present, although there are various clinical methods for repairing early osteoarthritis cartilage, there are still significant shortcomings. Autologous cartilage transplantation can provide similar tissue to the defect site, but the donor is limited and the operation is complex; microfracture technology attempts to stimulate bone marrow to generate new cartilage, but the effect is often unsatisfactory, and the quality of the new tissue is difficult to guarantee; stem cell transplantation faces technical problems such as low cell survival rate and uncontrollable differentiation direction.

[0003] In recent years, with the in-depth study of stem cells, it has been found that there are indeed stem cells in cartilage tissue, and these cells have the ability of self-replication and multi-directional differentiation, which provides a new possibility for cartilage repair. In fact, stem cells have been widely used in the repair of cartilage, meniscus and other tissues, and have shown certain therapeutic effect. However, our research has found that in the environment of osteoarthritis, cartilage stem cells show obvious signs of aging. These cells not only lose their original repair ability, but also may exacerbate the inflammatory response, further worsening the condition. This discovery undoubtedly brings new challenges to the application of stem cells in the treatment of osteoarthritis. How to overcome the aging problem of cartilage stem cells in the environment of osteoarthritis has become a technical problem to be solved.

[0004] In addition to the problem of stem cells, cartilage repair and regeneration is also affected by many factors. Excessive mechanical stimulation may lead to the aggravation of cartilage cell damage, affecting the repair process; insufficient supply of nutrients may limit the growth and differentiation of cartilage cells; the presence of chronic inflammation may continuously destroy cartilage tissue, hindering repair; and the cartilage differentiation ability of cells is directly related to the quality and quantity of new cartilage tissue. These factors are intertwined and jointly affect the effect of cartilage repair and regeneration. Therefore, to achieve effective cartilage repair, not only the technical problems such as stem cell aging need to be solved, but also factors such as mechanical stimulation, nutrient supply, inflammation control and cell differentiation ability need to be considered comprehensively.
