Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, and in particular to a 3D printed PCL / nHA combined biomimetic glycopeptide hydrogel scaffold for replacing infected bone defects and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The treatment of traumatic skull defects has always been a very challenging problem in the medical field. In the process of skull repair, it is necessary not only to achieve precise structural reconstruction, but also to protect the fragile brain tissue from secondary damage in all aspects. Traditional skull repair materials, such as metal materials and ceramic materials, generally have the disadvantages of poor elasticity and low osteogenic activity, which are difficult to match the physiological characteristics of human bone tissue, and thus cannot provide an ideal microenvironment for bone defect repair. What is even more tricky is that these traditional materials lack effective antibacterial activity. When faced with bone defects caused by open trauma, they are very likely to cause stubborn bacterial infections, which seriously hinders the healing process of the bone defect.

[0003] At the same time, although the addition of harmful antibiotics can inhibit bacterial growth to a certain extent, it has caused many negative effects. On the one hand, the long-term use of antibiotics has spawned drug-resistant bacteria, increasing the difficulty of infection prevention and control; on the other hand, the addition of antibiotics inevitably destroys the original physical and chemical properties of the scaffold material, causing its osteogenic performance to be greatly reduced, further delaying the repair cycle of bone defects.

[0004] With the rapid development of biomaterials science, bionic glycopeptide hydrogel scaffolds have emerged. This type of scaffold cleverly simulates the physical and chemical properties of natural bone extracellular matrix, and from microstructure to biological function, it has opened up a new path for the regeneration and repair of bone defects. It can accurately regulate the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of cells, providing excellent basic conditions for the formation of new bone tissue. In addition, the combination of advanced 3D printing technology and photocuring methods can be used to highly biomimetic design of the complex internal structure of infected bone defects. With its excellent precision, 3D printing technology can perfectly reproduce the fine structure and unique functions of various biological tissues. The prepared polymer fibers have both excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, can effectively bear physiological loads and coexist harmoniously with surrounding tissues. The photocured glycopeptide hydrogel exhibits excellent anti-swelling properties and excellent elasticity, ensuring that the scaffold maintains a stable morphology and function in a complex in vivo environment. The 3D printed scaffold constructed by the two together combines rapid antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities with strong bone-inducing biological activity. Without relying on any drugs, exogenous growth factors or seed cells, it presents a highly promising candidate for the reconstruction of large-scale bone damage, and is expected to overcome the many difficulties in repairing infected bone defects.

[0031] Specifically, the ultraviolet light irradiation time in step 5 is 10-20 minutes, preferably 10 minutes.

[0032] Embodiment 1: Step 1: Prepare PCL / nHA porous scaffolds. Mix PCL and nHA powders at a mass percentage of 10wt% of nHA to prepare 3D printing ink. Use Magics computer-aided design software to design a cylindrical porous PCL / nHA implant pattern with three-dimensional interconnected microchannels (diameter 300μm). Use Livprint® N series 3D printer with FDM system to print PCL / nHA porous scaffolds according to the parameters of 6mm diameter, 1mm thickness, 180℃ molding temperature, and 0.2mm nozzle diameter. After printing, take it out from the molding chamber to obtain a PCL / nHA porous scaffold with a mass of 0.09g. Step 2: Pretreatment of the PCL / nHA porous scaffold: the PCL / nHA porous scaffold prepared in step 1 was placed in a 5 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution and subjected to surface treatment at 37° C. under shaking conditions for 1 h; Step 3: Finished product treatment of the PCL / nHA porous scaffold: fully rinse the surface of the scaffold obtained in step 2 with deionized water and dry it; Step 4: prepare a biomimetic glycopeptide hydrogel solution, weigh 0.025 g of methacryloylated gelatin (G), 0.01 g of aldehyded Bletilla striata polysaccharide (B), and 0.005 g of antimicrobial peptide (E) using an analytical balance and put them into a centrifuge tube, add 500 μL of deionized water, vortex to completely dissolve them, add 0.0025 g of photoinitiator phenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphate lithium salt, pass nitrogen for 10 minutes, and obtain a uniform mixed solution after deoxygenation; Step 5: Add the uniformly mixed solution obtained in step 4 to the scaffold of step 3, irradiate it under ultraviolet light for 10 minutes for free radical polymerization reaction, and obtain a 3D printed PCL / nHA combined biomimetic glycopeptide hydrogel scaffold for skull defect replacement, which is stored in a low-temperature sterile environment.

[0033] Embodiment 2: Step 1: Preparation of PCL / nHA porous scaffold: The mass percentage of nHA in the mixture of PCL and nHA powders was adjusted to 20 wt % as 3D printing ink, and the remaining design and printing parameters were the same as in Example 1 to obtain a PCL / nHA porous scaffold.

[0034] Steps 2-5: As in Example 1, the corresponding 3D printed PCL / nHA combined biomimetic glycopeptide hydrogel scaffold is prepared and preserved.

[0035] Embodiment 3: Step 1: Preparation of PCL / nHA porous scaffold: PCL and nHA powders were mixed at a mass percentage of 30 wt% of nHA to prepare 3D printing ink. The remaining design and printing parameters were the same as those in Example 1 to obtain a PCL / nHA porous scaffold.

[0036] Step 2-5: As in Example 1, the corresponding 3D printed PCL / nHA combined biomimetic glycopeptide hydrogel scaffold is prepared and preserved.

[0037] Comparative Example 1: Mechanical properties test: To study the microscopic characteristics of different materials or ratios, microscopic observations were performed on samples such as 90% PCL-10% HA, 80% PCL-20% HA, 70% PCL-30% HA, Gelma, GBE, and PH@GBE. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the microstructure images of each sample are displayed. These images can be used to compare the differences in the microstructures of different samples, providing a basis for analyzing their performance. Compression strength tests were carried out on composite materials with different proportions of PCL (polycaprolactone) and HA (hydroxyapatite), namely 100% PCL, 90% PCL-10% HA, 80% PCL-20% HA, and 70% PCL-30% HA. It can be seen from the figure that with the increase of HA content (the decrease of PCL content), the compression strength of the material shows a downward trend. The compression strength of 100% PCL is the highest, and the compression strength of 70% PCL-30% HA is the lowest. Although 100% PCL has the highest compression strength, it lacks toughness and is prone to stress concentration.

[0038] Antibacterial performance test: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were used as experimental bacteria, and 7 experimental groups were set up, including Control, PH, B, E, G, GBE, and PH@GBE. Each experimental group was treated with two bacteria respectively, and the colony growth was observed after cultivation under appropriate conditions; Figure 5The results shown are as follows: for Staphylococcus aureus, a large number of colonies grew in the Control group, the PH group, and the G group, the number of colonies in the B group was relatively small, and there were almost no colonies in the E group, the GBE group, and the PH@GBE group. For Escherichia coli, the colonies in the Control group were distributed in a disorderly manner and in large numbers, the PH group and the G group had more colonies, the number of colonies in the B group decreased, and there were almost no colonies in the E group, the GBE group, and the PH@GBE group. By comparing the colony growth of each experimental group, it can be seen that the bactericidal effect of the E group containing antimicrobial peptides on the two bacteria was close to 100%, and the B group containing Bletilla striata polysaccharide also showed a certain antibacterial ability against the two bacteria and could inhibit bacterial growth.

[0039] Comparative Example 2: In order to comprehensively evaluate the differences between the prepared PCL / nHA@GBE scaffold and other control group materials in terms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) activity and skull repair effect, this experiment adopted the following comparison and evaluation methods: 1. CCK-8 method to determine the activity of MSCs: Control composite materials, methacryloyl gelatin, aldehyde-modified Bletilla striata polysaccharide, antimicrobial peptide, PCL / nHA, GBE and PCL / nHA@GBE were co-cultured with MSCs, and the activity of MSCs was determined using CCK-8 reagent after 1, 3 and 5 days of culture. Figure 6 As shown, the activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured for 1, 3, and 5 days was determined by CCK-8 method, and the cell compatibility was basically the same; 2. MSCs live and dead staining: After MSCs were treated with each group of materials for 24 hours, live and dead staining was performed, and cell survival was observed under a microscope to further verify the biocompatibility of each group of materials with MSCs. Figure 7 The figure shows the live and dead staining of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after 24 hours of treatment with each group of materials. The number of MSCs surviving on the surface of the scaffold using PCL / nHA@GBE is large, and the cell morphology is complete, which fully demonstrates that the scaffold has good biocompatibility and plays a positive role in the survival and growth of MSCs. 3. Analysis of rat skull CT images: Different materials were implanted into the skull defect of rats. CT images of representative rat skulls were taken 8 weeks later. The performance of each group of materials in skull repair was observed and analyzed, including the healing of bone defects, the amount of new bone formation, and the degradation of materials. Figure 8 The following are representative CT images of rat skulls 8 weeks after treatment with different materials. The CT images of rat skulls treated with PCL / nHA@GBE showed obvious induction effects and abundant calcium nodules.
