Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a collagen combining biological crosslinking and chemical crosslinking and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medical hydrogel materials. Background Art

[0002] Collagen is the main extracellular matrix molecule, which can self-assemble into fibrils with cross stripes by itself, provide support for cell growth, and be responsible for the mechanical elasticity of connective tissues. Collagen extracted at low temperature can still maintain the unique triple helix structure of collagen, and the prepared materials also have good flexibility, low immunogenicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, natural collagen itself also has many defects, such as poor mechanical properties, poor water solubility resistance, and it is difficult to meet the use requirements without modification treatment. Therefore, it is usually necessary to modify the prepared collagen materials to improve their actual use performance.

[0003] Physical crosslinking and chemical crosslinking are the main crosslinking modification methods for collagen. The physical crosslinking of collagen is mainly carried out by methods such as ultraviolet irradiation, severe dehydration and heat treatment to generate crosslinks between collagen molecules, thereby improving the physical properties of collagen. The physical crosslinking method is likely to cause a certain degree of damage to collagen, resulting in collagen denaturation or degradation. Therefore, the physical crosslinking method is not very suitable for crosslinked collagen used in the manufacture of medical materials. Among chemical crosslinking methods, the most common is the use of glutaraldehyde. However, they have the risk of cytotoxicity and cause inflammatory reactions or tissue calcification, and there are certain limitations in applications in food, cosmetics or healthcare. Summary of the Invention

[0004] At least aiming at one of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a collagen combining biological crosslinking and chemical crosslinking and a preparation method thereof. The collagen is obtained by fully mixing recombinant type I collagen with EDC / NHS and then adding lysyl oxidase for further treatment, that is, by a method combining biological crosslinking and chemical crosslinking; the recombinant type I collagen swells in physiological saline to form a recombinant type I collagen hydrogel, which has the advantages of low cytotoxicity, excellent cell compatibility and not easily causing collagen denaturation, etc.

[0006] Preferably, the recombinant type I collagen swells in physiological saline to obtain a recombinant type I collagen hydrogel, and the content of recombinant type I collagen is 25 - 45 mg / ml. If the content is too low, no gel can be formed; if the content is too high, it will become hard.

[0007] Preferably, in the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel, the content of recombinant type I collagen is 35 mg / ml.

[0008] The present invention also provides a method for preparing collagen by combining biological crosslinking and chemical crosslinking, and the specific steps are as follows: (1) Under stirring conditions, slowly dissolve EDC in phosphate buffer to make the final concentration of EDC 1.0 g / ml, adjust the pH of the solution to 4.5 - 5 to form an EDC solution, continue stirring, and add the freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen raw material.

Mix well to form mixed solution I; (2) Under the same stirring conditions, add NHS to mixed solution I. NHS converts the acylisourea group into an NHS-activated carboxylic acid group, which reacts with the amino group, and mix evenly to form mixed solution II; (3) Under the same stirring conditions, add lysyl oxidase to mixed solution II for biological crosslinking, and stir evenly to obtain a gel-like solid; (4) Freeze-dry the gel-like solid, crush it into particles with a diameter of 0.2 - 1.0 mm after freeze-drying, and then wash it with physiological saline to remove the residual crosslinking reagent in the gel to obtain recombinant type I collagen particles.

[0009] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of the freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen raw material to EDC is 0.5 - 2:1, preferably 1:1.

[0010] Preferably, in step (2), the molar ratio of EDC to NHS is 1 - 4:1, preferably 4:1.

[0011] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of the freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen raw material to lysyl oxidase is 10:0.5 - 2, preferably 10:1.

[0012] Preferably, it further includes step (5), swelling the washed recombinant type I collagen particles in physiological saline to obtain a recombinant type I collagen hydrogel, controlling the content of recombinant type I collagen to be 30 - 40 mg / ml, and filling it into a syringe.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring conditions in steps (1), (2) and (3) are: temperature 20 - 25°C, rotation speed 280 - 320 r / min.

[0014] Preferably, the sufficient mixing time in step (1) is 40 - 80 min; the uniform mixing time in step (2) is 40 - 80 min; the uniform stirring time in step (2) is 40 - 80 min; Preferably, the concentration of the phosphate buffer solution in step (1) is 250 - 350 mmol / L, preferably 300 mmol / L.

[0015] Preferably, the freeze-drying conditions in step (4) are: temperature 0 - 5°C, time 14 - 20 h; preferably temperature 4°C, time 16 h.

[0016] Preferably, the cleaning conditions in step (4) are: cleaning 4 - 5 times, each time for 25 - 35 min; the volume of normal saline used each time is 50 - 1200 times the weight of the gel-like solid.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The collagen of the present invention is obtained by the method of combining biological crosslinking and chemical crosslinking, in which recombinant type I collagen is fully mixed by EDC / NHS and then further treated with lysyl oxidase. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel formed by swelling the recombinant type I collagen in normal saline has the advantages of low cytotoxicity, excellent cell compatibility and not easily causing collagen denaturation, etc.; the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of the present invention will not show the phenomenon of uneven dispersion or aggregation and concentration, which is beneficial for injection use; the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of the present invention can not only accelerate wound hemostasis, but also accelerate the growth of wound fibroblasts and endothelial cells to promote wound healing, and at the same time effectively prevent wound exudate from adhering to the wound, avoid mechanical damage to the new granulation tissue again, and relieve the pain of the patient.

[0028] Comparative Example 5 A preparation method of collagen and collagen hydrogel, which is different from Example 1 in that: (1) Under the stirring condition of a temperature of 25 °C and a rotation speed of 300 r / min, NHS was slowly dissolved in 300 mmol / L phosphate buffer solution to make the final concentration of NHS 0.1853 g / ml.

[0029] Comparative Example 6 A preparation method of collagen and collagen hydrogel, which is different from Example 1 in that: the freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen used as a raw material was swollen in physiological saline to obtain a recombinant type I collagen hydrogel with a recombinant collagen content of 35 mg / ml, and then filled into a syringe.

[0030] Comparative Example 7 A preparation method of collagen and collagen hydrogel, which is different from Example 1 in that: (1) Under the stirring condition of a temperature of 25 °C and a rotation speed of 300 r / min, freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen was added to 300 mmol / L phosphate buffer solution with the pH adjusted to 4.7 and mixed evenly to form mixed solution I; Step (2) was not carried out, and step (3) was directly carried out: glutaraldehyde was added to mixed solution I for biocrosslinking treatment; the physical crosslinking treatment of EDC / NHS was not included; the rest was exactly the same.

[0031] The freeze-dried recombinant type I collagen raw materials used in the above Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were prepared according to CN118995817A.

[0032] Effect Test Example The recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of the above Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were characterized as follows: 1. Appearance The recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were filled into syringes and the appearance state was observed.

[0033] From Figure 1It can be seen from the figure that after being filled in the syringe, the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Example 1 presents a uniform milky white gel, which is clear, free of impurities and has a smooth surface, while the gel state of the recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 is poor. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Comparative Example 1 presents a colorless and transparent gel with bubbles. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Comparative Example 2 is uneven in color, with milky white, colorless and transparent mixed, unevenly dispersed, and bubbles. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5 is uneven in color, with milky white, colorless and transparent mixed, unevenly dispersed, and bubbles. Although the type I collagen hydrogels in group I also present a milky white gel, there are certain bubbles. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel in comparative example 6 presents a transparent gel with low transparency, aggregation, rough surface, and bubbles. The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel in comparative example 7 presents a transparent gel, which is turbid and has bubbles. Therefore, the gel state of the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel prepared by the present invention is better, which is a milky white gel, uniform, clear, and free of impurities. It can maintain a stable structure in the syringe and is not easy to deform or break.

[0034] 2. Syringe pushing force The recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were filled into a syringe, and the syringe push rod was pushed at a constant speed. During the experiment, a 27G injection needle was installed to simulate actual use. The push rod was pushed at a constant speed of 30 mm / min, and the sample in the syringe was pushed out through the needle; and the pushing force curve was obtained.

[0035] from Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, we can see the change of pushing force during the sample extrusion process. When the pushing force is small, the sample is easy to be extruded, and when the pushing force is large, the sample is not easy to be extruded.

[0036] pass Figure 2 The recombinant type I collagen hydrogel in Example 1 exhibits an appropriate pushing force during the injection process, which is neither too large nor too small, so that the injection process is smooth and controllable, the injection efficiency is high, and it can maintain a complete gel state and can diffuse evenly in the skin, which is conducive to good integration with human tissues and promote tissue regeneration and repair.

[0037] pass Figure 3 The sample in comparative example 2 is unevenly dispersed, and the sample in comparative example 6 is aggregated and concentrated, resulting in a large difference in the height of the pushing force. In comparative example 5, accumulation occurs during the pushing process, and the pushing force increases. In this way, the pushing force may be too large or too small, resulting in difficult and uncontrollable injection, uneven diffusion, affecting the injection effect and safety, and also affecting the hand suitability during injection.

[0038] 3. Mechanical properties The recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Example 1, Example 4, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 were subjected to frequency scanning at a shear rate of 0.01 Hz - 100 Hz using a rheometer at a temperature of 25 ± 2°C, and a coordinate graph was plotted with the log values of the viscous modulus and elastic modulus against the log values of the frequency.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, for the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 3 - 2 of Example 1 and the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 3 - 1 of Example 4, the storage modulus is much greater than the loss modulus, indicating high elasticity and low viscosity. With the change of frequency, it maintains good elasticity, and as the frequency increases, its elasticity enhances, and the material property stability is better.

[0040] In addition, combining Figure 5 with the graph of storage modulus - angular frequency, comparing the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 3 - 2 of Example 1 in A with the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 1 - 1 of Comparative Example 1 and the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 2 - 1 of Comparative Example 3, the storage modulus of the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Example 1 is much greater than those of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, indicating that the recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 have low elasticity; comparing the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 3 - 1 of Example 1 in B with the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 1 - 2 of Comparative Example 1 and the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel sample 2 - 2 of Comparative Example 4, the storage modulus of the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Example 4 is much greater than those of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, indicating that the recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 have low elasticity, further demonstrating that the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel prepared by the present invention has high elasticity.

[0041] 4. Stability The recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 6 were evaluated for thermal stability through appearance, syringe extrusion force, and mechanical properties. The gel changes of the recombinant type I collagen hydrogels of Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 6 before aging at 2 - 4°C and 25°C and after accelerated aging at 25°C for 72 days are shown in the stability in Table 1 below.

[0042] Table 1 Stability of recombinant type I collagen hydrogel

[0043] As can be seen from Table 1, the recombinant type I collagen of the present invention is first mixed with EDC and then with NHS, and then cross-linked with lysyl oxidase, sheared to form particles, washed, and swollen to obtain the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel. It is milky white gel-like, clear and impurity-free, and there is no obvious difference in accelerated aging at 2-4°C, before aging at 25°C, and after 72 days of aging at 25°C, showing good stability.

[0044] In addition, through the tests of syringe pushing force, mechanical properties and stability, it is found that the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of the present invention has a moderate cross-linking degree, a concentration of 25-45 mg / ml, strong elasticity and more appropriate viscosity. That is, it maintains a complete gel state and makes the injection smooth and controllable, and the material properties have good stability.

[0047] 5.2 Test method preparation The experiment is carried out under aseptic conditions: culture L-929 cells in MEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin), and place them in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for culture; digest the cells with trypsin to make a cell suspension, centrifuge (200G, 3 min), and then redisperse the cells in fresh medium to adjust the cell density to 1×10 5Cell suspension at cells / ml; Inoculate the above cell suspension into a 96-well culture plate, 100 μl per well, and culture in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 hours (5% CO2, temperature 37 °C, humidity > 90%); After the cells grow into a monolayer, aspirate the original culture medium, and add 100 μl of test samples at different concentrations (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%), blank control solution, positive control solution (100%), and negative control solution (100%) respectively, and culture at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Each group has 6 parallel samples; After culturing for 24 hours, take out the 96-well plate, observe cell morphology under a microscope, then aspirate the liquid, add 50 μl of MTT (1 mg / ml) to each well, culture in a carbon dioxide incubator for 2 hours, discard the MTT solution, and add 100 μl of isopropanol solution to each well; Shake the plate and measure the absorbance at 570 nm on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader (reference wavelength 650 nm).

[0048] 5.3 After the extract acts on the cells, observe the morphology under the microscope, and the cell morphology is described in Table 3 below.

[0053] It is found from the table that under the test conditions of this time, the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Example 1 has no potential toxic effect on L-929 cells; while the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel crosslinked with glutaraldehyde in Comparative Example 7 has no potential toxic effect on L-929 cells.

[0054] 6. Animal experiments Using rats as an animal model, they were anesthetized by injecting 2 ml of 2.5% sodium pentobarbital solution. Two 1 cm × 1 cm wounds were made on the back of the rats, and drugs were administered separately. During the formation of the wounds, the bleeding was absorbed with gauze, and then the prepared recombinant type I collagen hydrogel was quickly applied to the wounds. The complete hemostasis time was recorded, the adhesion of the material to the wounds was observed, and the wound surface was photographed; they were raised for 0 - 4 weeks and then the wound sites were observed; among them, for one rat, one wound was administered with the recombinant type I collagen hydrogel of Example 1, and one wound was not administered; the recombinant type I collagen hydrogels obtained in Comparative Examples 1 - 6 were combined in pairs and administered to the two wounds of one rat.
