The invention discloses a 3D biological printing epicardial patch for treating
myocardial infarction as well as a preparation method and application of the 3D biological printing epicardial patch. The 3D biological printing epicardial patch is an epicardial patch with a specific structure, and the epicardial patch is prepared from
chitosan nanoparticles loaded with recombinant human vascular
endothelial growth factors (rhVEGF165) and methylacryloyl
gelatin (GelMA) biological ink loaded with
human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) through 3D biological printing, wherein the methylacryloyl
gelatin (GelMA) biological ink contains the
chitosan nanoparticles loaded with the recombinant human vascular
endothelial growth factors (rhVEGF165) and the
human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Through morphological observation,
mechanical property detection, swelling property detection and degradation property detection on the prepared patch, good physical and chemical characteristics of the patch are verified. An in-vitro release test shows that the patch can continuously and stably release rhVEGF165 and promote
cell proliferation and
angiogenesis. In-vivo experiments prove that the
traditional Chinese medicine composition can effectively promote cardiac
function recovery, improve myocardial remodeling and remarkably increase
angiogenesis of an ischemic area. The invention provides a new technical means for repairing after
myocardial infarction. The method not only shows excellent clinical transformation potential, but also opens up a new path for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
