Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical materials, and particularly relates to an injectable hydrogel with myocardial tissue repair function, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiovascular disease in which the blood supply to the coronary artery is sharply reduced or interrupted, resulting in myocardial injury and thus myocardial necrosis. Myocardial infarction is a major cause of death worldwide. At present, the treatment of myocardial infarction emphasizes the early restoration of ischemic myocardial reperfusion, but the occurrence of complications is difficult to predict. Therefore, it is necessary to seek more innovative and effective ways to protect myocardial function. Myocardial ischemia is the direct cause of myocardial infarction and can lead to irreversible myocardial necrosis. In addition, persistent ischemia can cause oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Persistent inflammation and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to DNA damage, myocardial death and ventricular remodeling, thus accelerating the outcome of cardiac rupture. Therefore, reconstructing the vascular network of myocardial tissue while effectively inhibiting inflammatory responses and oxidative stress is an important strategy for the treatment of myocardial infarction.

[0003] Deferoxamine (DFO) is an iron chelator and hypoxia mimetic agent approved by the FDA, which can promote the signal transduction of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and up-regulate the expression of downstream key angiogenesis-related factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thereby triggering a multi-faceted angiogenic response, improving ischemia and promoting tissue repair. Carvedilol is one of the most effective β-blockers in clinical practice and has been proven to have effective antioxidant stress and anti-inflammatory effects. However, as a lipophilic compound, carvedilol is not easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and has a low oral bioavailability. In-situ administration can improve the bioavailability of carvedilol.

[0004] After myocardial infarction, it undergoes three stages: acute inflammation, proliferative repair and maturation remodeling. In order to better match the myocardial repair process, deferoxamine is attached to DSPE-PEG-NHS through an amidation reaction and then encapsulates carvedilol to achieve sequential release. At the same time, it is loaded by an injectable hydrogel and has the potential to promote the repair of damaged myocardial tissue. Summary of the Invention

[0037] 1. Detection of gel-forming performance The transmission electron micrograph of the drug-loaded nanomicelles simultaneously loaded with DFO and carvedilol in Example 1, the scanning electron micrograph of hydrogel group 2, and the injectable result diagram of hydrogel group 2 are respectively as Figures 1 - 3 shown.

[0038] Moreover, the rheological properties of the hydrogel were tested with an MCR302 rheometer. Under the condition of 37 °C, a double-concentric cylinder geometry with a gap of 4 mm was used for steady-state shear flow. The frequency scan was carried out with a strain of 0.5% and an oscillation frequency of 0.1 - 100 rad / s, and the oscillation frequency of the strain scan was 1 Hz, and the strain was 0.01 - 1000%. The results are as Figures 4 - 5 shown.

[0039] ByFigures 1 - 3 It can be seen that the hydrogel can be injected through a 27G needle, demonstrating the injectability of the hydrogel.

[0040] From Figures 4 - 5 it can be seen that the storage modulus (G') of the hydrogel is greater than the loss modulus (G"), proving the successful preparation of the hydrogel.

[0041] 2. In vitro biocompatibility detection Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of the hydrogel; the hydrogel after ultraviolet sterilization was extracted in cell culture medium (0.1 g / mL) for 48 h to prepare a material extract; HUVECs cells were inoculated in a 96-well plate at an inoculation density of 8000 cells per well; after 24 h, the cell culture medium was removed, and the hydrogel extract was used to replace different hydrogel samples and added to the plate. The proliferation rate and morphology of HUVECs cells cultured for 24 h and 72 h were detected by CCK-8 and FDA / PI staining respectively; after staining HUVECs cells with FDA (30 μg / mL) and PI (10 μg / mL) and standing for 5 min, the cells were observed with a fluorescence microscope, as Figure 6 shown; after incubation for 24 h and 72 h, fresh culture medium (90 μL) and diluted CCK-8 solution (10 μL) were added to each well. After 2 h, the cell proliferation rate was calculated by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader; the results of the survival rate of HUVECs cells by the hydrogel are as Figure 7 shown.

[0042] From Figures 6 - 7 it can be seen that the hydrogel group showed no toxicity to cells at 24 h and 72 h. In addition, after the hydrogel was loaded with nanomicelles containing DFO and carvedilol, the cell survival rate was higher than that of the blank hydrogel group, indicating that hydrogel group 2 (i.e., the injectable hydrogel with myocardial tissue repair function of the present invention) effectively promoted the proliferation of HUVECs cells, and the hydrogel had good biocompatibility.

[0043] 3. In vivo heart repair effect detection A disease model of acute myocardial infarction in rats was constructed by the method of permanently ligating the left anterior descending branch of the heart; echocardiography was performed on the myocardial infarction rats with successful modeling on the 14th day and the 28th day, and the results are shown in Figure 8; the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining results and Masson staining results on the 28th day are as Figure 9 shown.

[0044] From Figure 8 it can be seen that the systolic and diastolic movements of the ventricular wall in hydrogel group 2 were significantly better.

[0045] From Figure 9It can be seen that the hydrogel treatment group 2 effectively reduced the scar area at the myocardial infarction site, proving that the injectable hydrogel with myocardial tissue repair function of the present invention has good cardiac repair function.
