The invention belongs to the technical field of regenerative medical materials, and discloses
hyaluronic acid supramolecular hydrogel for three-dimensional culture of chondrocytes, and preparation andapplication of the
hyaluronic acid supramolecular hydrogel. The method comprises the following steps: with water as a reaction medium, carrying out a copolymerization reaction on
methacrylic anhydride modified
hyaluronic acid, a double-bond functionalized ureido pyrimidinone
functional monomer and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl
methacrylate under the action of an initiating
system, and carrying out subsequent treatment to obtain the hyaluronic acid supramolecular hydrogel. The hydrogel is used in the field of
cartilage tissue engineering, and is used for three-dimensional culture of chondrocytes and preparation of
cartilage repair materials. The hydrogel disclosed by the invention has
sol-gel conversion and self-repairing properties, uniform dispersion of the chondrocytes can be easily realizedby
sol at a low temperature, and the
sol can undergo
phase change to form gel after being conveyed to a
cartilage injury part, so in-situ fixation of the chondrocytes is realized; and the formation of a dynamic three-dimensional microenvironment of the hydrogel is beneficial for the maintenance of
chondrocyte functions and the
secretion of cartilage characteristic matrixes.
