Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical materials technology, specifically to a biomimetic magnesium alloy material that induces simultaneous bone-cartilage regeneration and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The osteochondral unit is the functional core that maintains joint weight-bearing, cushioning, and stable movement. Its microstructure, from the articular surface downwards, consists of hyaline cartilage, calcified cartilage, and subchondral bone, exhibiting a clear compositional and mechanical gradient. Once a large-scale osteochondral defect occurs, penetrating the cartilage and subchondral bone, local stress distribution becomes unbalanced, and the cartilage matrix undergoes continuous degeneration, eventually progressing to severe pain, limited mobility, and even end-stage joint disease. Such large-scale osteochondral defects are common in trauma, sports injuries, and the progression of osteoarthritis; however, currently, there is a lack of ideal treatment methods that can simultaneously reconstruct the complete structure and function of both the cartilage and subchondral bone.
[0003] Current clinical repair strategies, such as microfracture techniques, autologous / allogeneic osteochondral transplantation, and autologous chondrocyte transplantation, can restore joint surface continuity to some extent in small, focal defects. However, they generally face problems such as insufficient donor sites, poor geometric and mechanical matching between grafts and recipient sites, poor integration of the cartilage-bone interface, and the fact that repaired tissue often resembles fibrocartilage. These shortcomings make it difficult for repaired tissue to withstand the complex weight-bearing environment of the joint over a long period, leading to collapse, re-injury, or disease recurrence. Therefore, how to provide stable three-dimensional mechanical support on a macroscopic level and reconstruct the spatial gradient structure of cartilage and subchondral bone on a microscopic level to achieve synchronous and regional regeneration of bone and cartilage is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of bone-cartilage repair technology.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

A biomimetic magnesium alloy material (MZ-Gel) targeting simultaneous bone-cartilage regeneration is constructed: Kartogenin (KGN) or quercetin (Q) is loaded onto stem cell membrane vesicles (BMMs) to construct two types of biomimetic hydrogels targeting mesenchymal stem cells: HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q. The spatial layering of these hydrogels with a porous magnesium alloy scaffold creates a "cartilage-bone" functional gradient, primarily driving cartilage generation in the upper layer and enhancing osteogenic and bone remodeling in the lower layer. Simultaneously, the Mg²⁺ released during magnesium alloy degradation is utilized... +By synergistically regulating the local microenvironment, it can provide stable three-dimensional mechanical support on a macroscopic level and reconstruct the spatial gradient structure of cartilage and subchondral bone on a microscopic level, thereby achieving synchronous and zoned regeneration of bone and cartilage. This solves the technical problem in existing technologies that cannot provide stable three-dimensional mechanical support on a macroscopic level and reconstruct the spatial gradient structure of cartilage and subchondral bone on a microscopic level to achieve synchronous and zoned regeneration of bone and cartilage.
[0047] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the overall concept of this invention is as follows:
[0048] On the one hand, this invention provides a biomimetic magnesium alloy material (MZ) that induces simultaneous bone-cartilage regeneration. The structure comprises a porous magnesium alloy scaffold and biomimetic hydrogels HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q, which are layered and solidified in the pores of the porous magnesium alloy scaffold. HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN is a biomimetic hydrogel formed by dispersing BMM loaded with KGN in a HAMA-RGD solution. HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q is a biomimetic hydrogel formed by dispersing BMM loaded with Q in a HAMA-RGD solution.
[0049] This invention constructs a biomimetic magnesium alloy material (MZ-Gel) targeting simultaneous bone-cartilage regeneration: Kartogenin (KGN) or quercetin (Q) is loaded onto stem cell membrane vesicles (BMMs) to construct two types of biomimetic hydrogels targeting mesenchymal stem cells: HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q. These hydrogels, loaded with a porous magnesium alloy scaffold, form a "cartilage-bone" functional gradient, primarily driving cartilage generation in the upper layer and enhancing osteogenic and bone remodeling in the lower layer. Simultaneously, the uniform porous structure of the magnesium alloy scaffold provides both good mechanical support and controllable perfusion, and the degradation of the magnesium alloy generates Mg... 2+ It can promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, regulate bone remodeling-related signaling pathways, and facilitate new bone formation and mineralization. Therefore, the MZ-Gel of this invention can provide stable three-dimensional mechanical support on a macroscopic level and reconstruct the spatial gradient structure of cartilage and subchondral bone on a microscopic level, achieving synchronous and zoned regeneration of bone and cartilage.

[0052] The biomimetic hydrogel of this invention is a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel that can mimic the high water content and network structure of the extracellular matrix of chondrocytes, providing a suitable microenvironment for cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. By introducing adhesion-promoting short peptide sequences such as RGD, the biomimetic hydrogel can specifically bind to integrins on the surface of mesenchymal stem cells, enhancing cell adhesion and signal transduction. Furthermore, it is loaded with the chondrogenic molecule Kartogenin (KGN) and bioactive factors such as quercetin (Q), which has both anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects. Targeted delivery and sustained release are achieved using biomimetic carriers such as cell membrane vesicles. This enables differentiated regulation of the cartilage and bone regions spatially and continuous, gentle signal stimulation temporally, thereby simultaneously driving stem cell chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation.

Functional stratification of cartilage physiological structure enables synchronous regeneration of bone and cartilage.
[0054] Preferably, the HAMA-RGD solution comprises 2% HAMA, 1% RGD, and 0.1% photoinitiator by weight-volume ratio. This invention enables BMM (Browser-Modulated Metallic Mold) by mixing HAMA and RGD with a photoinitiator to form the HAMA-RGD solution. KGN, BMM Q is uniformly dispersed in HAMA-RGD solution to form a biomimetic hydrogel. When the biomimetic hydrogel is poured into the pores of the porous magnesium alloy scaffold, it can be solidified in the porous magnesium alloy scaffold under light conditions.
[0055] Preferably, the porous magnesium alloy scaffold is a three-dimensional scaffold with a pore size of 500 μm. Through research, this invention has found that the aforementioned pore size facilitates the uniform distribution of HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q within the porous magnesium alloy scaffold.

The porous magnesium alloy scaffold includes a nail head at the top of the nail-shaped structure, a nail shank in the middle of the nail-shaped structure, and a nail tip at the bottom of the shaping structure. The nail head and the nail shank are both cylindrical structures, and the diameter of the nail head is larger than the diameter of the nail shank. The nail tip is a conical structure, and the diameter of the bottom of the cone is the same as the diameter of the nail shank.
[0058] The porous magnesium alloy scaffold features a porous structure on its nail head, into which biomimetic hydrogels HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q are infused. This porous structure is uniformly distributed across the upper and lower surfaces and the sides of the cylinder. Holes on the upper and lower surfaces penetrate the cylinder from the top and bottom, while holes on the sides penetrate the cylinder from the sides. This porous structure allows for the uniform release of active materials when the biomimetic hydrogels HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q are fixed within the porous magnesium alloy scaffold.

[0092] (2) Evaluation of chondrogenic differentiation marker COL2 and toluidine blue staining, as well as mRNA expression and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining of osteogenic differentiation markers COL1, Runx2, and OCN. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were co-cultured with HAMA-RGD, HAMA-RGD-BMM, HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN, and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q, respectively. After 7 days of culture, mRNA was collected for qPCR detection of related RNA expression and ALP staining. After 14 days of culture, toluidine blue and ARS staining were performed.

Figure 14 The relative expression of COL1 mRNA; Figure 15 Stain each group with toluidine blue. Figure 16ALP was stained in each group. Figure 17 ARS staining was performed on each group.
[0094] exist Figures 11-17 In the middle, from left to right (or 1 to 5 in the figure), they are the blank group, HAMA-RGD group, HAMA-RGD-BMM group, HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN group, and HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group, respectively.
[0095] Figure 11 In the HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN group, the relative expression of COL2 mRNA was the highest. Figure 12 In the HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group, the relative expression of Runx2 mRNA was the highest. Figure 13 In the HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group, the relative expression of ALP mRNA was the highest. Figure 14 Among them, the HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group had the highest relative expression of COL1 mRNA.
[0096] Toluidine blue staining is a staining method for assessing chondrogenic differentiation. The proteoglycans secreted by chondrocytes bind to toluidine blue, resulting in a blue-purple color. The appearance and intensity of this blue-purple color directly reflect the accumulation of chondrogenic extracellular matrix (proteoglycans), a key marker of chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Figure 15 Among them, the HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN group showed the bluest color, indicating that HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN has a strong effect on promoting chondrogenic differentiation. ALP is an early osteogenic differentiation indicator. The cytoplasm of ALP-positive cells (i.e., BMSCs that are differentiating into osteoblasts) will be stained blue or bluish-purple. The darker the color, the stronger the ALP activity of a single cell and the better the osteogenic differentiation effect. Figure 16 In the image, the HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group showed the bluest color, indicating that HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q had a superior effect on promoting osteogenic differentiation. ARS staining represents calcified nodules, an indicator of late-stage osteogenic differentiation; the redder the color in the image, the more calcified nodules there are, and the better the osteogenic differentiation effect. Figure 17 Among them, the HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q group was the reddest, indicating that HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q has a better effect on promoting bone differentiation.
[0097] Therefore, from Figures 11-17 It can be seen that HAMA-RGD@BMM-KGN can promote chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while HAMA-RGD@BMM-Q can promote osteogenic differentiation.
[0098] (3) Adding different concentrations of Mg 2+We simulated magnesium alloy degradation products to investigate their promoting threshold and synergistic range for cartilage / osteogenic induction.
[0099] like Figure 18-20 As shown, Mg 2+ The higher the concentration, the more obvious the staining; magnesium alloy degradation products Mg 2+ It can promote osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. When the magnesium ion concentration is 25 mM, magnesium ions already have a strong effect on promoting osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. Further increasing the magnesium ion concentration beyond this level will not yield better results.

Gel.
[0105] from Figure 23 It can be seen that implanting MZ into cartilage defects in rabbits... Eight weeks after gel treatment, the cartilage and bone of the rabbit bones differentiated and regenerated synchronously, and the defects were basically repaired.
