Abstract
Description
Regenerated silk fibroin material, preparation method and application TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to a regenerated silk fibroin material, a preparation method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Silk fibroin is a kind of natural biological protein material, which has good biocompatibility, easy to obtain, good swelling property and natural antibacterial property. Foreign literatures have reported that silk fibroin is used to prepare bone tissue repair materials such as scaffolds, gels and fiber meshes, which have been confirmed to have good biocompatibility in animal experiments. However, due to the slow degradation rate of pure silk fibroin material, and compared with other proteins such as collagen and gelatin, the silk fibroin material lacks bioactive peptide segments, and thus has weak bone induction and bone growth promotion ability.
[0003] Silk fibroin can be used for absorbable bone nails and bone plates, which can be used for internal fixation systems in trauma orthopedics and maxillofacial plastic surgery. Under the background of population aging in China, the number of patients with fractures is increasing, and the demand for bone nails and bone plates will continue to rise, and the development of the industry is highly certain.
[0004] At present, the widely used degradable bone fixation material is mainly high molecular polymer, including polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA) and poly-lactic-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA). For many years, foreign researchers have continuously innovated and researched, and the high molecular degradable bone fixation material has basically met the clinical requirements, but there are still some deficiencies in the PLA type polymer material as an orthopedic internal fixation material. The biggest problem is the postoperative complications of PLA type bone fixation material. The degradation products of PLA type material are glycolic acid and lactic acid, which can participate in the body's sugar metabolism cycle. However, the in vivo degradation process of large size PLA type material (limb bone nails, fixation plates) is easy to form local enrichment of acidic products (glycolic acid and lactic acid), causing immune rejection and bone regeneration problems. It has been reported that the main clinical immune rejection reactions include local swelling, sterile abscess, fistula and bone resorption. In addition, the PLA type material also has the problems of not having bone conduction, insufficient mechanical strength, "passive" overall hydrolysis, "self-catalytic" degradation effect leading to rapid disintegration of the material in the middle and late stages of degradation and large release of acidic products.
[0005] The regenerated silk fibroin material is mainly prepared from cocoon through degumming, dissolution, dialysis and modification operations. Soft materials such as sutures and paste gels made of degummed silk have been widely clinically researched and applied, but there are still many difficulties in the process of hard silk fibroin materials. At present, the main preparation methods of hard silk fibroin materials mainly include solvent (methanol, etc.) recrystallization method, sol-gel method and direct hot forming method.
[0006] But the preparation method also has some problems, resulting in the final scheme is difficult to implement industrialization, for example:
[0007] 1、The current reported based on methanol recrystallization method of silk protein material inside a large number of residual bubble (> 50%), and the mechanical properties and process stability is difficult to guarantee, difficult to prepare large size material, can not be used for product development, seriously restricts the application of silk protein material.
[0008] 2、General methanol recrystallization method after improvement, can solve the problem of bubble and large-scale production, but the process using hexafluoroisopropanol as solvent, not only expensive and harmful to the human body, high removal requirements, inducer methanol in addition to low cost also has the same problem.
[0009] 3、Direct hot pressing forming method can also be prepared into specific shape hard material, but the hot pressing equipment and raw material requirements are too high, large-scale production is difficult.
[0010] 4、The silk protein hard material prepared by the method of natural drying of hydrogel needs to be dried naturally again with other enhancement methods to achieve sufficient mechanical strength, such as UV / riboflavin system, HRP / H2O2 system, chitin / chitosan interpenetrating network, etc. These systems inevitably require more thorough mixing, but silk protein, due to its surfactant-like properties, will generate a large number of bubbles during mixing, especially when preparing large samples for industrialization, bubbles will be more difficult to escape. If the bubbles cannot be fully removed and remain in the gel system, it will seriously affect the performance of the final hard material, especially the mechanical properties.
[0011] Chinese invention patent (CN111956871) discloses a silk protein / gelatin composite material and its use: the silkworm cocoon is immersed in a soap salt solution to degum, dried to prepare degummed silk, and the degummed silk is dissolved in lithium bromide solution, dialyzed to remove salt, and concentrated to prepare a silk protein solution; the silk protein solution is mixed with a gelatin solution, and horseradish peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide solution and glutamine transaminase are added, mixed uniformly to form a glue, and a silk protein / gelatin gel is obtained; the silk protein / gelatin gel is immersed in alcohol and ammonium sulfate solution respectively to obtain a silk protein / gelatin crosslinked gel, which is dried to obtain a columnar or block-shaped embryo.
[0012] In addition, silk fibroin can be applied to the repair of bone defects in the joint, the fixation of artificial joint revision bone transplantation, the reconstruction of ligament in sports trauma, and the transplantation of bone blocks in bone tumor resection. However, the composite material disclosed in the above invention does not have a porous structure, which cannot provide a three-dimensional space for the adhesion, proliferation and migration of bone repair cells, resulting in low efficiency of nutrient and water transport to cells and affecting the osteogenic activity of the material.
[0013] Further, Viviana et al. disclosed a method in J. Actbio. 2018.03.047: degumming of mulberry cocoon by immersing in a soap salt solution, drying to prepare degummed silk, dissolving the degummed silk in a lithium bromide solution, dialysis desalination and concentration to prepare a silk protein solution; adding horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide solution to the silk protein solution, and transferring into a mold before gelation; slowly adding granular sodium chloride to the solution, and gelating at 37℃; soaking the silk protein gel in purified water, filtering out the undissolved salt particles to obtain a porous gel; removing from the mold, and freeze-drying to obtain the porous gel.
[0014] However, the silk protein scaffold material prepared by the above method does not contain gelatin component, so that the biological activity of the silk protein scaffold material in promoting cell adhesion, differentiation and growth is lower than that of the material containing gelatin component, that is, the stability and biological function of the material are not as good as those of the composite material containing gelatin component.
[0015] At present, there is no effective solution to the problems in the related silk fibroin nail plate system preparation technology, such as the internal residual of a large number of bubbles in the silk protein hard material prepared by the methanol recrystallization method and the natural drying method of hydrogel, the high production cost of the improved methanol recrystallization method of silk, and the difficulty in large-scale production by direct hot pressing forming method, as well as the problems in the bone repair material preparation technology, such as the lack of porous structure in the composite material and the lack of gelatin component in the silk protein scaffold material.

[0100] 1. The raw materials silk fibroin and gelatin used in the present application have abundant yield, low price, and are certified medical product raw materials by the US Food and Drug Administration, and have good biocompatibility, biological function, and biodegradability.
[0101] 2. The regenerated silk fibroin solution prepared by the fine degumming, washing, dissolving, dialysis, and concentration steps, and the treatment of removing gas bubbles by centrifugation has extremely high purity; high-purity silk fibroin materials are particularly important in biomedical, tissue engineering, and advanced material applications, because they can reduce the immune response or adverse effects caused by impurities.
[0102] 3. After gelation and induced crystallization treatment, the silk fibroin hard material exhibits excellent mechanical properties, such as higher strength and toughness; these improved properties are due to the stable cross-linking and ordered crystalline structure formed between silk fibroin molecules, which can withstand greater stress and deformation without breaking.
[0103] 4. Silk fibroin is a natural polymer material with excellent biocompatibility. The use of toxic solvents and additives is avoided during the preparation process, further ensuring the biological safety of the material; this makes the silk fibroin hard material have wide application prospects in the field of biomedical medicine, such as drug carriers, tissue repair, and regenerative medicine.
[0104] 5、By adjusting the parameters in the preparation process, such as water bath temperature, time, immersion solvent type and time, the structure and performance of silk fibroin materials can be precisely controlled; this processability enables the material to meet the specific needs of different application scenarios.
[0105] 6、The solvents and materials used in the entire preparation process are mostly recyclable or biodegradable, having little impact on the environment; in addition, the preparation process is relatively simple and cost-controllable, which is conducive to realizing large-scale industrial production.
[0106] 7、Silk fibroin materials not only have excellent physical and chemical properties, but also can be further chemically modified or complex modified to endow them with more functional properties, such as antibacterial, conductive, photosensitive, etc., thereby broadening their application range.
[0107] 8、The horseradish peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and glutamine transaminase used in the present application have been realized commercialized mass production. Among them, the glutamine enzyme is obtained from microorganisms, which has more uniform stability and abundant yield than the original mammalian source. Low concentration of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide have no toxicity and good biocompatibility. Experiments and literature have proved that the silk protein and gelatin hydrogel crosslinked by horseradish peroxidase and glutamine transaminase have no cytotoxicity and animal toxicity.
[0108] 9、The present application applies horseradish peroxidase / hydrogen peroxide to induce crosslinking between silk protein itself and silk protein-gelatin, applies glutamine transaminase to modify the gelatin side branches, and further induces the formation of small and uniform silk protein beta fold in the obtained hydrogel by sequentially immersing it in 70% alcohol solution and 15% ammonium sulfate solution, and strengthens the modification of gelatin branches, so that the composite material has high strength and compression resistance, and also obtains stability in vivo and in animals.
[0109] 10、On the basis of the existing silk protein material, the present application has the biological function of improving cell adhesion, growth and differentiation by adding gelatin.
[0110] 11、On the basis of the existing silk protein / gelatin material, the present application prepares a porous material, which has the advantages of high porosity and greatly promotes cell growth, such as cell proliferation and migration, and tissue growth, which is very beneficial to the clinical application of tissue engineering technology.
[0111] 12、The composite material prepared by the present application has a certain porosity, which can provide a three-dimensional space for the adhesion, proliferation and migration of bone repair cells, and nutrients and water can also be transported to the cells through the pores; and by compounding gelatin and silk protein to prepare the bone filling material, the osteogenic activity of the material can be enhanced.
[0112] 13. The preparation method is simple and efficient, waste-free and pollution-free, has good repeatability, and has potential value for industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0134] The raw materials of the silk fibroin / gelatin composite material provided by the present application are all natural biological materials. The silk fibroin as a natural biological protein material has good biocompatibility, is easy to obtain, has good swelling property and natural antibacterial property and the like. However, due to the slow degradation rate of pure silk protein material, and compared with other proteins such as collagen, gelatin and the like, the silk protein lacks bioactive peptide segments, and the biological function promotion to cells is weak. Pure gelatin is prone to thermal denaturation and water absorption and swelling. The present application utilizes the characteristics that the silk fibroin is rich in tyrosine, and the gelatin is rich in glutamine and lysine, applies horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the tyrosine in the silk fibroin to form a double tyrosine crosslinking, applies microbial glutamine transaminase to form glutamine-lysine isopeptide bonds in the gelatin through acyl transfer reaction, and adds alcohol solvent to induce the silk fibroin to form a beta fold and ammonium sulfate solution to strengthen the gelatin branch chain modification. The multiple strategies jointly strengthen the stability and mechanical properties of the silk fibroin / gelatin composite material and endow the material with good biological functions.
[0135] The silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material provided by the present application is a new medical biological polymer material, and various specifications of porous bone repair materials can be prepared through mold adjustment and different freeze-drying processes. In clinical surgery, the bone repair material can not only directly fill the bone defect site, but also can be used in cooperation with the nail plate system to improve the bone healing ability, and the material can be completely biodegraded without secondary surgery.
[0136] In order to evaluate the performance of the silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material, the compression strength of the material is tested in the examples, and the results show that the material can well meet the use requirements of defect filling. In addition, the cell adhesion test verifies that the silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material has good cell compatibility, is beneficial to the adhesion and growth of osteoblasts, and is beneficial to bone healing.

[0195] 2. The silk fibroin solution prepared by the steps of fine degumming, washing, dissolving, dialysis and concentration, and the treatment of removing air bubbles by centrifugation, has very high purity; high-purity silk fibroin material is particularly important in biomedical, tissue engineering and advanced material applications, because it can reduce the immune response or adverse effects caused by impurities.
[0196] 3. After gelation and induced crystallization treatment, the silk fibroin hard material exhibits excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness; these properties are improved due to the stable cross-linking and ordered crystalline structure formed between silk fibroin molecules, which can withstand greater stress and deformation without breaking.
[0197] 4. As a natural polymer material, silk fibroin has excellent biocompatibility.

This good processing performance makes the material more flexible and convenient in subsequent molding, processing and modification.
[0220] 4. The present application introduces cross-linking agents such as horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide to further promote the cross-linking reaction between silk fibroin and gelatin, forming a more compact network structure. This cross-linking reaction not only enhances the mechanical properties of the material, but also may endow the material with more functional properties, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, etc.
[0221] 5、The application can realize the accurate control of the degradation rate of the material by adjusting the ratio of silk fibroin and gelatin and the preparation process. The controllable degradation enables the material to gradually degrade and be absorbed by the human body within a predetermined time according to the specific application requirements, avoiding the need for secondary surgery.

[0230] The application has the following advantages:
[0231] 1、The horseradish peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and transglutaminase used in the application have been commercially mass-produced. Among them, the transglutaminase is prepared from microorganisms, which is more uniform in stability and abundant in yield than the original mammalian source. Low-concentration horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide have no toxicity and good biocompatibility. Experiments and literature have proved that the silk protein and gelatin hydrogel crosslinked by horseradish peroxidase and transglutaminase have no cytotoxicity and animal toxicity.
[0232] 2、The application uses horseradish peroxidase / hydrogen peroxide to induce cross-linking between silk fibroin itself and silk fibroin-gelatin, uses glutamine transaminase to modify gelatin side branches, and further induces the formation of small and uniform silk fibroin beta folds and strengthens the modification of gelatin branched chains by sequentially immersing the obtained hydrogel in 70% alcohol solution and 15% ammonium sulfate solution, so that the composite material has high strength and compression resistance, and obtains stability in simulation in vivo and in vivo.

The porosities of the composite bone repair materials prepared by the preparation methods described in Examples 2, 3 and 5 are all greater than 50% and less than 75%; the pore size distributions are in the range of 1 nm to 500 μm; among them, the pore size distribution of the composite bone repair material prepared by the preparation method described in Example 2 is narrower, in the range of 1 μm to 200 μm. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) photograph of the composite bone repair material prepared by the preparation method described in Example 2 is shown in FIG. 18.
[0472] Example 21
[0473] This example relates to the compression strength test of the composite bone repair material
[0474] The regenerated silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material obtained in Example 16 was tested for compression resistance mechanical strength according to the following method.
[0475] According to the international standardization organization (ISO) recommended standard ISO 13175-3:2012, the bone repair materials obtained in different examples were subjected to compression test using an Instron 3366 (Instron, USA) universal mechanical tester, a 10 kN load cell, a customized pressure test metal base and a pressure block (hardness of 300 HV or higher). The sample was pre-processed into a cuboid sample block of 10°10°15 mm, and was fixed at the center of the metal base; the metal pressure block was loaded on the universal mechanical tester, located directly above the sample block; the compression rate was set to 0.5 mm / min, and the sample block was compressed until the sample block was destroyed, and the maximum load was recorded and the compression strength (unit: MPa) was calculated.
[0476] The experimental results are shown in Table 1. The compression strengths of the bone repair materials of Examples 16, 18 and 19 are all greater than 2.0 MPa, and in particular, the compression strength of Example 18 can reach 3.6±0.5 MPa. In combination with the test results of Example 20, it can be seen that the preparation method of the present application can prepare bone repair materials with different porosities, pore size distributions and compression mechanical properties, which have potential clinical application prospects and values.

[0478] Example 22
[0479] This example relates to the cell compatibility test of the composite bone repair material
[0480] The regenerated silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material obtained in Example 16 was tested for cell adhesion according to the following method.
[0481] To evaluate the cell adhesion of the bone repair material, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were seeded onto the bone repair material at a density of 1 x 104 / mL and co-cultured for 3 days. Then the samples were washed with phosphate buffer solution (PBS) to remove non-adherent cells, fixed with glutaraldehyde at 4°C, and dehydrated by gradient ethanol solution. After that, the samples were dried in a blast drying oven at 40°C for 2 days. The cell adhesion micro-SEM photos of the surface of the composite bone repair material obtained by the preparation method described in Example 2 and their enlarged pictures are shown in Figure 19.
[0482] As can be seen from the pictures, the cells have successfully adhered to the material surface, and part of the cells have entered the pores on the surface, with obvious pseudopodia visible, connected to each other (as indicated by the arrows), indicating that the silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material prepared by the present preparation method has good cell compatibility, which is conducive to cell adhesion, proliferation and migration.
[0483] Example 23
[0484] This example relates to the in vitro pull-out force mechanical test of the bone pin.
[0485] The regenerated silk fibroin hard material obtained in Example 4 was processed into a bone pin using a multi-axis numerical control machining lathe, obtaining a regenerated silk fibroin bone pin (RSF). The size of the RSF bone pin is as follows: screw diameter 2 mm, screw length 5 mm, tail cap diameter 3.6 mm.
[0486] The regenerated silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone repair material obtained in Example 16 was processed into a columnar or block-shaped parent embryo, and then a multi-axis numerical control machining lathe was used to process it into a bone pin, obtaining a regenerated silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone pin (RSF / G). The size of the RSF / G bone pin is as follows: screw diameter 2 mm, screw length 5 mm, tail cap diameter 3.6 mm.
[0487] As a comparison, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) was used as a raw material to process a bone pin of the same size using a multi-axis numerical control machining lathe.
[0488] For the above three kinds of bone pins, the pull-out force in dry state and wet state was tested according to the following method, respectively.
[0489] The pull-out strength of RSF / G bone pins, RSF bone pins and PLGA bone pins was tested according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard F1839, using an Instron 5966 (Instron, USA) universal testing machine, custom-made bone pin tail cap stainless steel clamps and artificial bone blocks (Sawbones, USA). The artificial bone blocks were pre-embedded with bone cement, fixed at the bottom of the Instron 5966 testing frame and drilled with a drill bit (1.7 mm in diameter). The RSF / G bone pins and RSF bone pins were screwed into the artificial bone blocks, and then the bone pin tail caps were clamped with the clamps and connected to the Instron testing machine. The bone pins were gradually pulled out of the artificial bone blocks using the testing machine at a constant speed of 5.0 mm / min until the bone pins were pulled out or broken (ASTM standard F2502-11). When the bone pins were pulled out or broken, the maximum stress (unit: N) was recorded. The pull-out mechanical tests were performed in dry and wet states, respectively, and the wet state was prepared by soaking the bone pins in a PBS solution at 37°C for more than 72 hours.
[0490] The results are shown in Figure 20. The experiments showed that the pull-out forces of the RSF / G bone pins, RSF bone pins and PLGA bone pins were 46 N, 60 N and 49 N, respectively, in the dry state; and the pull-out forces of the RSF / G bone pins, RSF bone pins and PLGA bone pins were 26 N, 30 N and 50 N, respectively, in the wet state. It can be seen that the pull-out force of the RSF / G bone pins was slightly lower than that of the RSF bone pins and PLGA bone pins in both the dry state and the wet state, but there was no significant statistical difference.
[0491] Example 24
[0492] This example relates to the in vitro shear force mechanical test of bone pins.
[0493] The RSF / G bone pins, RSF bone pins and PLGA bone pins were prepared according to Example 23.
[0494] The double shear strength in the dry state and the wet state was tested according to the following method, respectively.
[0495] The double shear test is completed by a customized clamp and an Instron 5966 (Instron, USA) universal material testing machine. The clamp is composed of three stainless steel plates with aligned 2mm holes and 2.5mm holes respectively for shear test in dry and wet states. The RSF / G bone screws, RSF bone screws and PLGA bone screws with 2mm are made. The fixture is installed on the Instron 5966 (Instron, USA) testing frame, the bottom of the fixture remains stationary, while the top of the fixture is stretched at a speed of 5.0mm / min until the bone screw breaks, and the maximum stress (in N) is recorded. The shear mechanical test is carried out in dry and wet states respectively, and the wet state is prepared by soaking the bone screws in PBS solution at 37℃ for more than 72 hours.
[0496] The results are shown in Figure 21. The experiment shows that the double shear strength of the RSF / G bone screw, RSF bone screw and PLGA bone screw is 259N, 222N and 162N respectively in dry state; and the double shear strength of the RSF / G bone screw, RSF bone screw and PLGA bone screw is 191N, 186N and 163N respectively in wet state. It can be seen that the double shear strength of the RSF / G bone screw is higher than that of the RSF bone screw and the PLGA bone screw, whether in dry state or in wet state.
[0497] The above experimental results show that the shear mechanical strength of the regenerated silk fibroin / gelatin composite bone screw of the application is higher than that of the RSF bone screw and the PLGA bone screw, and the pull-out force is generally equivalent to that of the RSF bone screw and the PLGA bone screw, which has a good clinical application prospect.
