Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomaterials, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of a responsive anticoagulant hydrogel material capable of releasing NO. Background Art
[0002] Due to the limitations of autologous blood vessels in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, artificial blood vessels are considered an important alternative to autologous grafts. Large-diameter vascular grafts (D>6mm) have been used clinically. However, there are significant limitations in the application of small-diameter vascular grafts (D<6mm). It is reported that 75% of artificial vascular grafts fail within three years after implantation due to clinical complications such as infection, thrombosis, intimal hyperplasia, calcification, and aneurysm formation.
[0003] The main causes of small-caliber graft failure are acute thrombosis, intimal hyperplasia, and infection. Therefore, improving endothelialization, scavenging reactive oxygen species to inhibit intimal hyperplasia, and preventing infection are promising strategies to reduce graft failure.

[0167] The present invention utilizes the good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low risk of infection and immune response of recombinant collagen to promote the growth of endothelial cells and achieve effective endothelialization; 3-aminophenylboronic acid and caffeic acid have anti-inflammatory properties due to their catechol structures, preventing infection while achieving ROS clearance; the phenylboronic acid ester bond can respond to ROS cleavage to release caffeic acid and arginine; arginine can release NO by reacting with NO synthase produced by endothelial cells, thereby exhibiting a good anticoagulant effect to maintain blood vessel patency. When the blood vessels are in a highly reactive oxygen environment, the release of NO can be further stimulated, the level of ROS can be reduced, the proliferation of smooth muscle cells can be inhibited, and thus the intimal hyperplasia can be inhibited, thereby hindering thrombosis. By creatively combining recombinant collagen with caffeic acid arginine amide-modified hyaluronic acid, a hydrogel material that induces NO release was obtained. The prepared hydrogel material has the advantages of antibacterial, promoting endothelial cell proliferation, inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation, anti-inflammatory, promoting angiogenesis and inhibiting thrombosis. Among them, arginine can act as an endogenous NO donor in the blood to release NO molecules, thereby promoting vascular endothelial repair. The introduced NO molecules give the hydrogel material good anticoagulant properties, and it is expected to be used to prepare artificial vascular anticoagulant coatings.
