Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses a photocured silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of medical dressings. BACKGROUND

[0002] The repair of non-chronic wounds (such as small wounds, abrasions and cuts), chronic wounds (such as diabetic ulcers and pressure sores) and acute trauma (such as surgical incisions and burns) urgently needs a bionic dressing to simulate the "epidermis-dermis" double-layer structure of the skin: a dense and wear-resistant surface layer to resist external mechanical stress, and a porous and hydrophilic bottom layer to maintain a moist microenvironment. The combination of silk fibroin and hyaluronic acid is highly expected: silk fibroin provides high strength and oxygen permeability similar to the epidermis, and hyaluronic acid provides water retention (water content > 95%) and immune regulation functions similar to the dermis. However, existing double-layer dressings face technical bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Weak interlayer bonding: The interface strength of composite dressings stacked physically or bonded by hydrogen bonds is generally low, far below the dynamic wound stress threshold, and is prone to delamination and shedding. Although chemical cross-linking agents (such as EDC / NHS) can improve the strength, the residual toxicity makes the L929 cell survival rate < 70%, and the acidic cross-linking environment (pH ≤ 5.5) destroys the wound healing microenvironment.

[0004] 2. Poor light curing compatibility of heterogeneous materials: The light reaction efficiency of tyrosine phenolic hydroxyl (-OH) in silk fibroin is < 10%, and direct UV irradiation causes molecular chain breakage, which cannot be cured by light alone with the groups of silk fibroin; the light curing of hyaluronic acid is limited: although methacrylated hyaluronic acid has a methacrylate photosensitive group, it can only be cross-linked within the homogeneous layer, and there is no covalent bonding site between silk fibroin. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the application provides a photocured silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel and a preparation method thereof. Through specific ingredients and a preparation method, the interface cross-linking mechanism of mussel mucin is used to realize the covalent cross-linking of the upper silk fibroin hydrogel and the lower hyaluronic acid hydrogel, and the interlayer bonding strength is improved. The preparation method is simple, fast and easy to operate, does not require the use of complex instruments, and the prepared silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel can simulate the "epidermis-dermis" double-layer structure of the skin, realize the synergistic effect of "upper layer protection + lower layer healing", has good biocompatibility and moisturizing properties, effectively promotes wound repair, and has a wide application prospect.

[0011] Further, the photoinitiator is lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate.

[0015] (2) Interface treatment: coat a mussel adhesive protein solution on the surface of the incompletely cured lower layer;

[0016] (3) Upper layer curing: cover a silk fibroin hydrogel prepolymer solution, irradiate with 365 nm ultraviolet light (10 mW / cm²) for 40-60 seconds to trigger synchronous covalent cross-linking of the upper and lower layers.

[0017] Further, the specific preparation method of the hyaluronic acid hydrogel prepolymer solution is as follows: dissolve hyaluronic acid in a 30 wt% N,N-dimethylformamide solution at a mass fraction of 1 wt%, mix well, then add 2-4 wt% methacrylic anhydride, maintain the solution pH at 8.5 with sodium hydroxide, react at 4°C for 24 hours, then precipitate with 3 times the mass of anhydrous ethanol, remove the supernatant after centrifugation, dissolve in water, dialyze with deionized water for 3 days, freeze-dry to obtain methacrylated hyaluronic acid, and finally dissolve the methacrylated hyaluronic acid at a mass fraction of 2-5 wt%, add 0.05-0.2 wt% of a photoinitiator, and dissolve to obtain the hyaluronic acid hydrogel prepolymer solution.

[0018] Further, the specific preparation method of the mussel adhesive protein solution is as follows: dissolve mussel adhesive protein in an aqueous solution at a mass fraction of 1-3 wt%, and adjust the pH to 6.0-7.5.

[0019] Further, the specific preparation method of the silk fibroin hydrogel prepolymer solution is as follows: after degumming and dissolving of silk, 0.05-0.15 wt% of methacrylic anhydride is added, and dialysis is performed with deionized water for 3 days, and methacrylated silk fibroin is obtained after freeze-drying; the methacrylated silk fibroin is dissolved according to a mass fraction of 6-8 wt%, and 0.1-0.3 wt% of a photoinitiator is added, and the silk fibroin hydrogel prepolymer solution is obtained after dissolving.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) The present application innovatively utilizes the covalent bridging of the dual mechanism of the mussel adhesive protein under the excitation of ultraviolet light: under the trigger of 365 nm ultraviolet light (10 mW / cm²), the catechol group of the mussel adhesive protein is oxidized into benzoquinone, the benzoquinone forms a quinone-amine bond (C=N) with the primary amino group of the lower layer of methacrylated hyaluronic acid, and simultaneously forms a quinone-phenolic ether bond (C-O-C) with the tyrosine phenolic hydroxyl group of the upper layer of methacrylated silk fibroin, and the interlayer bonding strength under the synergistic action of the double covalent bonds is better than the interlayer bonding strength under the action of traditional physical stacking / hydrogen bonds, thereby solving the problem of clinical delamination and shedding.

[0022] (2) The present application adopts a neutral pH (6.0-7.5) mussel adhesive protein solution and a low-toxicity photoinitiator, thereby avoiding the cytotoxicity of chemical cross-linking agents (EDC / NHS) and having good biocompatibility.

[0052] Performance test

[0053] Cell growth promoting test

[0054] The sterilized hydrogel samples of Example 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were immersed in a sterile test tube containing RPMI-1640 culture solution, and the test tube was placed in a 37°C incubator for 72 h, with the addition of culture solution at a concentration of 0.1 mL / g. 100 μL of L929 cell suspension was cultured in a 96-well plate at a density of 10 4 / mL, and after 24 h of incubation, the culture solution was removed, and the extract of the hydrogel was added to the well plate in place of the culture solution. The control group was still cultured with RPMI-1640 culture solution. After 1, 3, and 5 days of incubation, the cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope and photographed, respectively. In addition, 50 μL of MTT solution was added to each well, and after 2 h of incubation at 37°C, the solution in the well plate was aspirated with a pipette, and 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to continuously shake and dissolve the purple formazan precipitate at the bottom of the well plate. Finally, 100 μL of supernatant was aspirated, and the absorbance at 490 nm was measured with a spectrophotometer. The results are shown in Figure 3 , and the OD 490nm absorbance values of Example 1-2 were greater than those of the control group on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days, and the OD 490nm absorbance values of Comparative Example 1 and the control group were close, but the OD 4 absorbance values of the silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel prepared by chemical crosslinking in Comparative Example 2 were significantly lower than those of the control group on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days, indicating that Example 1-2 promoted the proliferation of L929 cells, Comparative Example 1 had no effect on the proliferation of L929 cells, but the silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel prepared in Comparative Example 2 inhibited the proliferation of L929 cells.

The control group was still cultured with RPMI-1640 culture solution. After 24 h of incubation, the cells in the experimental group were stained with AO / EB (acridine orange / ethidium bromide), and the growth activity of the fibroblasts cultured with the extract of the hydrogel was observed under a fluorescence microscope and photographed. The results are shown in Figure 4 , and a small number of dead cells were observed for Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1, but a large number of dead cells were observed for Comparative Example 2. This indicates that the silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel prepared in Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1 had no cytotoxicity to L929 cells, but the silk fibroin double-layer hydrogel prepared in Comparative Example 2 had a toxic effect on L929 cells.
