Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biomaterials, and in particular to a modified recombinant type III collagen hydrogel loaded with houttuynia cordata vesicles and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wound management in patients with diabetes presents significant challenges due to the complexity of diabetic wound healing. These wounds impose a huge socioeconomic burden and severely affect the quality of life of patients. The removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for the proper healing of wounds. However, elevated blood glucose levels in diabetic individuals can lead to excessive local production and accumulation of ROS, resulting in cell and tissue damage and increased tissue inflammation. In addition, hyperglycemia can impair the function of endothelial and smooth muscle cells, disrupt the vascular network, reduce local neovascularization, and further impede the wound healing process. These factors together contribute to the poor treatment outcomes observed in diabetic wounds. Therefore, innovative treatments that mitigate oxidative damage, enhance angiogenesis, and inhibit tissue inflammation are urgently needed to improve the outcomes of diabetic wound care.

[0003] Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have great potential in mitigating oxidative damage, promoting tissue regeneration, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. These natural vesicles have several key advantages, including high stability, inherent bioactivity, and efficient uptake by recipient cells. PDEVs are promising for diabetic wound therapy due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and proliferative properties. A particularly promising source of PDEVs is Houttuynia cordata thunb (HC), a perennial herb from the family Trichosanthis that is well-known in traditional Chinese medicine for its wide range of therapeutic effects.

[0004] However, the wound healing process is prolonged and requires continuous tissue growth. The short half-life and rapid clearance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) pose significant challenges, limiting their further application. To overcome these limitations and maximize their therapeutic potential, it is critical to develop a suitable carrier system to effectively protect and deliver PDEVs in the diabetic wound environment.

[0005] Hydrogels are widely used as wound dressings due to their excellent moisture retention, biocompatibility, and customizable physical structure. However, hydrogel drug delivery systems also have certain shortcomings, and many hydrogels lack good controllability in drug release. The release rate of drugs is often affected by environmental changes (such as pH, temperature, etc.) or the structural characteristics of the hydrogel itself, resulting in unstable or too fast or too slow drug release, which is difficult to meet clinical needs. Hydrogels usually have low mechanical strength, which makes them easy to break or unstable in shape in certain practical applications, especially when used in vivo. If hydrogels are used for local drug delivery, higher mechanical strength may be required to maintain structural stability. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modified recombinant type III collagen hydrogel loaded with houttuynia cordata vesicles and its application. Houttuynia cordata vesicles are combined with modified recombinant human type III collagen to develop a microenvironment-responsive collagen hydrogel made of a physically inert polymer PVA, which can deliver houttuynia cordata vesicles to diabetic wounds.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The hydrogel provided by the present invention is composed of houttuynia cordata vesicles, modified recombinant human type III collagen and polymer PVA;

[0009] The preparation method of Houttuynia cordata vesicles (HC-EVs) is as follows: weigh 200g of Houttuynia cordata slices (purchased from Sinopharm Feng Liaoxing (Foshan) Medicinal Materials Slices Co., Ltd.), add 500ml of high-pressure sterile PBS, squeeze the juice with a juicer, and centrifuge the obtained juice at 500×g for 20 minutes, 2000×g for 30 minutes, and 10000×g for 60 minutes in a 4°C centrifuge (Baiyang, R18, Beijing, China) to remove large plant tissues and cell fragments to obtain Houttuynia cordata vesicles. Subsequently, the Houttuynia cordata vesicles were collected and ultracentrifuged at 100,000×g for 70 minutes and resuspended in PBS. Sterile filtration was performed with 0.22μm, and the obtained liquid was finally stored at -80°C for standby use.

[0010] Modified recombinant human type III collagen was prepared by reacting recombinant human type III collagen with 3-amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid (AMB) by oxidative polymerization, and then reacting with 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) in 2-morpholineethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer in the presence of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) crosslinkers to form BA-rhCOL3 (BC).

[0011] The method for preparing the modified recombinant type III collagen hydrogel loaded with Houttuynia cordata vesicles is as follows: 250 mg BC is dissolved in 1 ml of 10 10 Particles / mL of HC-EVs solution. After the mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes, it was mixed with 10wt% PVA to prepare HC-EVs@BC hydrogel. The volume ratio of the mixture to the PVA solution was 1:1.

[0012] The microenvironment-responsive collagen hydrogel loaded with houttuynia cordata vesicles of the present invention is composed of houttuynia cordata vesicles, modified recombinant human type III collagen and polymer PVA. When applied to diabetic wounds, the hydrogel maintains a moist environment for the wounds. Due to the presence of active oxygen in the environment and the influence of the pH environment of the skin, the borate bond in the collagen hydrogel is broken, thereby removing active oxygen and releasing the encapsulated houttuynia cordata vesicles into the diabetic wounds. An effective potential treatment method for diabetic wounds is provided.

[0013] Compared with other treatment methods, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The microenvironment-responsive collagen hydrogel loaded with Houttuynia cordata vesicles of the present invention is formed by borate bonds. The borate bonds are broken when they encounter reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the environment and the influence of the pH environment of the skin, thereby removing the reactive oxygen species and releasing the encapsulated Houttuynia cordata vesicles to the diabetic wound.

[0015] (2) The hydrogel of the present invention is simple to prepare and has low cost, which lays a foundation for large-scale preparation.

[0016] (3) The hydrogel is composed of modified recombinant human type III collagen. The structure of the hydrogel can control the slow release of Houttuynia cordata vesicles, ensuring that its active ingredients (such as anti-inflammatory factors, antioxidant factors, etc.) act on the wound continuously and stably, reducing the volatility and peak concentration of the drug, avoiding the rapid disappearance of the drug effect, and thus prolonging the efficacy time. When the hydrogel slowly releases the active ingredients in Houttuynia cordata, combined with the repair function of type III collagen, an optimized microenvironment can be formed in the local area. Houttuynia cordata reduces inflammation and oxidative stress and enhances the repair and support effect of the hydrogel on cells, making the effects of the two complement and promote each other.

Dorsal tissues of the selected mice were obtained and anesthetized with isoflurane. A disposable biopsy punch was used to make an elliptical full-thickness skin wound with a length of 1 cm along the long axis on the upper back to establish a chronic diabetic wound model. According to the treatment method, the diabetic mice were divided into 4 groups: (I) control group (administered with normal saline), (II) HC-EVs group, (III) B-CH group, and (IV) HC-EVs@B-CH group. The wound closure was recorded using a digital camera, and the wound area was analyzed using ImageJ software (NIH, ImageJ2.1.1, USA). The animals were killed on the 7th and 14th days after surgery, and wound samples were collected for analysis ( Figure 6 ).

[0057] Example 13 Histological evaluation of skin samples

[0058] The samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned into 6 μm thick slices. The wound surface was histologically analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. After staining, images were captured with a microscope (ECLIPSE Ti2, Nikon, Japan) and analyzed with ImageJ software. In immunofluorescence staining, the samples were incubated with anti-CD31, anti-CD86, and anti-CD206 primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with Cy3-conjugated secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 hour.

The raw reads were processed using Trimmomatic to remove low-quality reads, and the clean reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome (GRCm38) using HISAT2. Gene expression levels were quantified by calculating FPKM values ​​using Cufflinks, and gene read counts were obtained using HTSeq-count. Differential expression analysis was performed using the DESeq R package (2012), with P < 0.05 and |log2 fold-change| ≥ 1.0 as thresholds. The DAVID (Database for annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery) bioinformatics resource (version 6.8, https: / / david.ncifcrf.gov / summary.jsp) was used to perform functional annotation and pathway analysis on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotations. Three animals were included in each experimental group ( Fig. 9 ).
