Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical materials, and in particular to a fat acellular matrix self-crosslinking hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, people's pursuit of beauty is constantly improving, and the demand for facial rejuvenation and beauty is becoming stronger. Problems such as facial depressions and wrinkles not only affect one's appearance but can also have a negative psychological impact, reducing self-confidence.

[0003] With the accelerated pace of life and people's increasing acceptance of minimally invasive surgery, injectable facial fillers have attracted widespread attention due to their advantages such as ease of operation, minimal trauma, and quick recovery. However, existing facial fillers have many shortcomings, such as: (1) Although traditional solid implant materials such as silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene can improve facial contours to a certain extent, the surgical risks are relatively high and may cause complications such as infection, displacement, and rejection. In addition, the appearance and touch of these materials may not be natural enough, affecting the aesthetics of the face.

[0004] (2) Autologous fat transplantation has problems such as donor site damage, high fat absorption rate, and the need for multiple surgeries. During the operation, fat needs to be extracted from other parts of the patient's body, which will cause additional pain and trauma to the patient. Moreover, the survival rate of transplanted fat is unstable, and some fat may be absorbed, requiring multiple surgeries to achieve the ideal filling effect.

[0005] (3) Injectable synthetic polymer materials such as hyaluronic acid have a short lifespan, usually only lasting a few months to a year, and require repeated injections. Frequent injections not only increase the patient's pain and financial burden, but may also cause adverse reactions such as allergic reactions and local swelling.

[0006] (4) Animal-derived collagen can be treated to reduce its immunogenicity, but it still has the potential to trigger an immune response. Different individuals have different degrees of immune response to animal collagen, which may cause adverse reactions such as local redness, itching, and pain, and may even cause severe allergic reactions, affecting the effectiveness and safety of facial fillers. Animal-derived materials also have the potential risk of transmitting animal-derived diseases.

[0007] Therefore, finding safe and effective facial filling materials has become a common goal for many beauty seekers and medical workers. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to disclose a self-crosslinked adipose decellularized matrix hydrogel and its preparation method and application, so as to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and provide at least one beneficial option or create conditions.

[0033] The adipose decellularized matrix self-crosslinked hydrogel described in the second aspect of the present invention is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method. It has the following advantages: Good biocompatibility: Adipose decellularized matrix retains the three-dimensional structure and bioactive components of natural tissue, has good compatibility with human tissue, and can promote cell adhesion, growth and differentiation.

[0034] Degradability: Adipose decellularized matrix can be gradually degraded and absorbed in the body and will not remain for a long time, thus avoiding the occurrence of foreign body reaction.

[0035] Low immunogenicity: After removing the cellular components, the immunogenicity of the adipose decellularized matrix is ​​greatly reduced, reducing the risk of rejection.

[0036] Abundant sources: Adipose tissue is widely distributed in the human body and is relatively easy to obtain. It can be obtained in large quantities through methods such as liposuction, making large-scale preparation possible.

[0037] Rich in nutrients: Adipose decellularized matrix contains a large amount of collagen, elastin and fibronectin, and is also rich in many growth factors required by the human body. It can not only provide support for the sunken parts of the face, but also provide a large amount of nutrients needed for growth, stimulating the regeneration of facial depressions.

[0038] The use described in the third aspect of the present invention refers to the use of the self-crosslinked adipose matrix hydrogel as a subcutaneous filling material in medical, cosmetic and other scenarios. The self-crosslinked hydrogel can form a stable three-dimensional network structure at a specific temperature. This self-crosslinking property enables the hydrogel to solidify rapidly after being injected into the face, maintain a stable shape, and provide long-lasting support for the sunken parts of the face. And there is no need to add other chemical crosslinking agents, eliminate the possibility of chemical crosslinking agent residues, and is more patient-friendly. The hydrogel after self-crosslinking has excellent flexibility, can fit tightly with facial tissue, and deforms naturally with the movement of facial muscles without producing stiffness, ensuring natural and smooth facial expressions. Patients do not need to go through the pain and long recovery period of traditional surgery. It can be completed by injection through minimally invasive methods such as syringes. It is simple to operate, has little trauma, and recovers quickly, greatly improving the acceptance and convenience of facial filling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0109] Comparative Example 1 Traditionally, enzymes used in the preparation of extracellular matrix are inactivated by heating. While this procedure allows for precise control of the degree of degradation by measuring the duration of the enzyme reaction, the proteins remaining after enzyme denaturation and inactivation can still become allergens, posing unnecessary risks to the filler material.

[0110] Some preparation methods attempt to remove residual proteins after enzyme denaturation and inactivation by using dialysis to filter out impurities of a specific molecular weight to mitigate the risk of allergic reactions. However, dialysis has been found to be time-consuming, significantly increasing the time cost of extracellular matrix production.

[0111] The preparation method of the present invention uses mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 instead of dialysis treatment, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two treatment processes are verified by comparison.

[0112] The control product is also a self-crosslinked adipose decellularized matrix hydrogel, and its preparation method is as follows: Steps S1 to S9 and S11 are consistent with the method provided in Example 6. The difference is S10: S10. Transfer the digested sol to a 50 kDa sterile MWCO dialysis bag, tie the bag tightly, and place it in a 4°C pre-cooled sterile PBS solution with a dialysate volume 100 times the sol volume for 24 hours. Change the dialysate every 6 hours. After dialysis, remove the sol from the dialysis bag and centrifuge it at a centrifugal force of 4800 g for 9.5 minutes. Discard the precipitate and retain the upper sterile extracellular matrix sol.

[0113] The hydrogel prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the hydrogel obtained in Example 6 were subjected to ELISA test, and the residual pepsin content therein was measured as shown in Table 1.

[0114] Table 1. ELISA test results

[0115] By comparing the test results, it can be seen that the effect of using mesoporous molecular sieves to remove pepsin is close to that of using dialysis bags, and the residual amount is less than 10%, which meets the product safety requirements. However, from the perspective of the preparation method, the use of mesoporous molecular sieves only requires shaking on a shaking table for 1 hour, while the use of dialysis bags requires a dialysis time of up to 24 hours, and the dialysate needs to be replaced 3 times. In addition, the mesoporous molecular sieve after use can be heated and ultrasonically treated with SDS solution to re-elute the enzyme, thereby achieving reuse and further reducing production costs. However, since the dialysis bag is in contact with perishable samples such as pepsin or trypsin, the residual substances may clog the membrane pores or cause degradation, affecting the dialysis efficiency and even causing cross contamination, so it can only be used once. It can be seen that the preparation method of the fat decellularized matrix self-crosslinking hydrogel provided by the present invention has the advantages of low cost and high economic benefit under the premise of ensuring the low allergenicity of the hydrogel.

[0116] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced therein.
