SCGB-based preparations and methods to use these preparations to protect the glycocalyx in medical, veterinary, and cosmetic applications are provided. The secretoglobins (SCGBs) are a family of small secreted globular proteins present in all mammals and sharing conserved structure and thought to share similar immunomodulatory functions. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan proteins (HSPGs) are expressed on the outer membranes of cells and have carbohydrate side chains that, together, make up the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is a protective layer surrounding all cells, acting as a filter regulating the passage of nutrients into the cell and modifying cell signaling by external factors. There are two major families of HSPGs including syndecans and glypicans, plus several other HSPGs in all mammals. SCGBs bind to, and interact with, HSPGs to further modulate cell signaling and cellular responses to external factors.

The application discloses a composite drug sustained-release system based on a biomimetic glycocalyx coating and a medical catheter. The sustained-release system comprises, in sequence, an adhesion layer, a drug storage layer and a biomimetic glycocalyx coating arranged on the surface of a base. The adhesion layer is formed by in-situ polymerization of polyphenols. The drug storage layer embeds active drugs through hydrophobic or amphiphilic polymers. The biomimetic glycocalyx coating simulates the structure of vascular endothelium and is formed by cross-linking of modified polyethylene glycol and biological macromolecules through polyphenols and metal ions. The application can realize self-repairing of damage by using the double cross-linking network of the biomimetic glycocalyx coating, and can synergistically regulate drug release kinetics through a high hydration physical barrier and the storage layer, thereby significantly reducing the friction coefficient of intervention, and also endowing the medical catheter with properties such as antithrombosis and drug sustained release, effectively inhibiting initial burst release of drugs and prolonging the release period, and significantly improving the mechanical resistance, biocompatibility and safety of the medical catheter.
