TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical materials, and particularly relates to an antibacterial conductive skeletal muscle repair hydrogel scaffold and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Skeletal muscle accounts for about 40% to 50% of body weight and has important functions in controlling force generation, movement and protection of internal organs. Skeletal muscle injury caused by accidental trauma, exercise, disease and surgery is increasing. Skeletal muscle with slight injury can repair itself, but severe lesions or volume loss can cause local depression, atrophy, and even motor disorders and loss of physiological function.
[0003] In addition to etiological treatment and functional exercise, the traditional scheme for treating severe skeletal muscle injury is muscle flap or muscle transplantation, but transplantation surgery is limited by the limited source of donors, high risk of infection and low survival rate of transplants, resulting in poor prognosis. In order to cope with these clinical challenges, researchers propose to solve severe skeletal muscle injury by skeletal muscle tissue engineering. Skeletal muscle tissue engineering usually involves implanting a tissue engineering scaffold into the lesion site to induce endogenous cells to differentiate into myoblasts and integrate with the host skeletal muscle tissue, thereby achieving repair and reconstruction of skeletal muscle. In recent years, hydrogel scaffolds have been widely used in skeletal muscle tissue engineering and have achieved good therapeutic effects due to their unique three-dimensional network structure and physical and chemical properties, which simulate the extracellular matrix and promote the exchange and transport of various nutrients. However, most existing scaffolds are prepared from a single natural polysaccharide or artificial synthetic polymer, lack good antibacterial properties and conductive properties similar to muscle tissue, and have a long preparation time, making it difficult to meet the dynamic physiological load of skeletal muscle, which severely limits the application of the scaffold in skeletal muscle tissue engineering. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides an antibacterial conductive skeletal muscle repair hydrogel scaffold and a preparation method and application thereof.
[0005] The technical solution of the present application is as follows.
[0006] The present application provides an antibacterial conductive skeletal muscle repair hydrogel scaffold prepared by the following method. Polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol, aldehyde-modified dextran and carbon nanotubes are dispersed in a boric acid solution, the aldehyde group in the aldehyde-modified dextran reacts with the amino group of the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol to form an imine bond, obtaining a dynamic Schiff base structure; the carbon nanotubes react with the hydroxyl groups of the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol and the aldehyde-modified dextran to form hydrogen bonds; the hydroxyl groups in the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol react with boric acid to form a borate ester bond, obtaining the antibacterial conductive skeletal muscle repair hydrogel scaffold; The crosslinking gelation time is 5s-30s.
[0007] The present application forms an imine bond through the nucleophilic addition reaction between the aldehyde group in the aldehyde-modified dextran and the amino group of the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol, which is fast, so that the hydrogel can quickly form a network structure, and the dynamic Schiff base structure obtained enables the hydrogel to realize self-repairing by re-forming the imine bond after damage; the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol has good flexibility, and the formation of the imine bond enables the network structure to have a certain elasticity, which helps to improve the stretchability of the hydrogel; the boronic acid reacts with the hydroxyl groups in the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol and the aldehyde-modified dextran to quickly form a borate ester bond, further crosslinking the hydrogel network and promoting rapid gelation. In addition, the carbon nanotubes react with the hydroxyl groups in the polylysine-modified polyvinyl alcohol and the aldehyde-modified dextran to form hydrogen bonds, further improving the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the hydrogel.

The esterification reaction temperature of 60-70 DEG C is lower than the thermal degradation temperature of polyvinyl alcohol, which can ensure the sufficient diffusion of methacrylic anhydride and avoid the main chain breakage, so that the integrity of the polyvinyl alcohol main chain is maintained to provide an elastic skeleton for ultrahigh tensile property. The reaction time of 24-48 h can prevent excessive cross-linking and brittle, and ensure enough sites for subsequent Michael addition reaction.

[0014] In another preferred embodiment, the catalyst is potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate, and the molar ratio of the catalyst to the polylysine is 0.5-3:1.
[0015] In another preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of the sodium periodate to the dextran is 0.5-3:1; The oxidation reaction temperature is 30-50 DEG C, and the stirring reaction time is 24-48 h. The activity of periodate can be maintained at 30-50 DEG C, and the main chain breakage of dextran caused by excessive oxidation can be avoided; the hydroxyl group can be converted into enough aldehyde group at 24-48 h, and the dynamic imine bond density can be improved by the sufficient aldehyde group, which can be quickly recombined and healed within <10 s.

Unless otherwise specified, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the following embodiments of the application can be purchased from the market or prepared by the existing method.
[0026] Hydrogel scaffolds have been widely used in skeletal muscle tissue engineering and have achieved good therapeutic effect. The three-dimensional network structure and physical and chemical properties of hydrogels can simulate the extracellular matrix, promote the exchange and transport of nutrients. However, the existing skeletal muscle tissue engineering scaffolds lack antibacterial properties, and the mechanical properties such as elasticity, stretchability and ductility are not ideal, and the gelation period is long, which is ten minutes to several days, resulting in low skeletal muscle tissue reconstruction efficiency. Therefore, constructing a multifunctional hydrogel scaffold is the key to promoting skeletal muscle repair. The hydrogel scaffold should have excellent elasticity and tensile mechanical properties, good shape adaptability to meet various irregular muscle defects; fast gelation period, injectability and self-healing to facilitate use; good electrical conductivity to facilitate information transmission between cells; excellent antibacterial properties to effectively reduce the risk of infection; adjustable degradation to ensure seamless integration with newly formed tissues and no need for second surgery.

The hydrogel scaffold shows good biocompatibility, antibacterial property and antioxidant property in vitro and in vivo, and also shows good effect of promoting skeletal muscle repair and reconstruction in an infected skeletal muscle defect model, which is a super-stretching fast-crosslinking antibacterial conductive hydrogel scaffold for skeletal muscle repair.

[0030] 3) The pH of the PVAMA solution is adjusted to 8.0, then the polypeptide epsilon-polylysine and potassium carbonate are added to the PVAMA solution, and the reaction is carried out at 60-70 °C for 24-72 hours. After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is placed in a dialysis bag (MWCO 12000) for dialysis purification for three to five days, and finally PVA-EPL powder is obtained by vacuum freeze-drying.
