3D-Printed Functional Hydrogel by DNA-Induced Biomineralization for Accelerated Diabetic Wound Healing.

ABSTRACT: Chronic wounds in diabetic patients are challenging because their prolonged inflammation makes healing difficult, thus burdening patients, society, and health care systems. Customized dressing materials are needed to effectively treat such wounds that vary in shape and depth. The continuous development of 3D-printing technology along with artificial intelligence has increased the precision, versatility, and compatibility of various materials, thus providing the considerable potential to meet the abovementioned needs. Herein, functional 3D-printing inks comprising DNA from salmon sperm and DNA-induced biosilica inspired by marine sponges, are developed for the machine learning-based 3D-printing of wound dressings. The DNA and biomineralized silica are incorporated into hydrogel inks in a fast, facile manner. The 3D-printed wound dressing thus generates provided appropriate porosity, characterized by effective exudate and blood absorption at wound sites, and mechanical tunability indicated by good shape fidelity and printability during optimized 3D printing. Moreover, the DNA and biomineralized silica act as nanotherapeutics, enhancing the biological activity of the dressings in terms of reactive oxygen species scavenging, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammation activity, thereby accelerating acute and diabetic wound healing. These bioinspired 3D-printed hydrogels produce using a DNA-induced biomineralization strategy are an excellent functional platform for clinical applications in acute and chronic wound repair.

Project description:Development of natural protein-based fibrous scaffolds with tunable physical properties and biocompatibility is highly desirable to construct three-dimensional (3D), fully cellularized scaffolds for wound healing. Herein, we demonstrated a simple and effective technique to construct electrospun 3D fibrous scaffolds for accelerated wound healing using a photocrosslinkable hydrogel based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA). We found that the physical properties of the photocrosslinkable hydrogel including water retention, stiffness, strength, elasticity and degradation can be tailored by changing the light exposure time. We further observed that the optimized hydrogel fibrous scaffolds which were soft and elastic could support cell adhesion, proliferation and migration into the whole scaffolds, facilitating regeneration and formation of cutaneous tissues within two weeks. Such tunable characteristics of the fibrous GelMA scaffolds distinguished them from other reported substrates developed for reconstruction of wound defects including glutaraldehyde-crosslinked gelatin or poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), whose physical and chemical properties were difficult to modify to allow cell infiltration into the 3D scaffolds for tissue regeneration. We anticipate that the ability to become fully cellularized will make the engineered GelMA fibrous scaffolds suitable for widespread applications as skin substitutes or wound dressings.Statement of significanceIn present study, we generate three-dimensional photocrosslinkable gelatin (GelMA)-based fibrous scaffolds with tunable physical and biological properties by using a combined photocrosslinking/electrospinning approach. The developed GelMA fibrous scaffolds can not only support cell viability and cell adhesion, but also facilitate cell migration and proliferation, accelerating regeneration and formation of cutaneous tissues. In addition, the physical properties of the engineered fibrous GelMA hydrogel including water retention capability, mechanical properties and biodegradability can be tuned to accommodate different patients' needs, making it a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering.

Project description:Diabetic wounds require continuous and coordinated modulation of the microenvironment concurrent with tissue regeneration, yet this remains a significant challenge. As a proof of concept, we herein propose to use dimeric copper peptide for diabetic wound treatment. The dimeric copper peptide (D-CuP) was first synthesized and then incorporated into a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel matrix to improve therapeutic compliance, culminating in the formulation of G/D-CuP. Compared to monomer copper peptide (CuP), a wound healing agent, D-CuP exhibits multivalency, enhanced biologic stability against proteases and the broad biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, while promoting angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation and migration. Meanwhile, the hydrogel matrix, exhibiting excellent ROS-scavenging capabilities, has been engineered to an intelligent drug reservoir for wound-responsive release of D-CuP at the wound site while simultaneously attenuating inflammatory responses. Ultimately, the G/D-CuP group demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy, achieving in 97.2% closure of infected wounds.In this study, we present a proof-of-concept study to optimize the treatment of diabetic wounds. This method integrates a dimeric copper peptide hydrogel (G/D-CuP) to address several critical factors: i) The design and synthesis of the dimeric copper peptide (D-CuP) feature a broad range of targets and enhanced biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, while promoting angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation and migration; ii) Utilizing the steric hindrance conferred by dimerization reduces protease access to the active site and significantly improving stability against proteases; iii) A ROS-responsive hydrogel matrix has been synthesized, exhibiting superior ROS-scavenging capabilities, functioning as an intelligent drug reservoir that enables the controlled release of D-CuP at the wound interface while simultaneously attenuating inflammatory responses in the microenvironment; iv) G/D-CuP possesses outstanding deformability and spreadability, allowing it to adapt to any wound shape; v) The synthesis and preparation process of G/D-CuP are straightforward and cost-effective, making it highly promising for clinical translation. This multifunctional treatment platform is anticipated to accommodate the complex and dynamic biological processes involved in diabetic wound healing, thereby significantly improving the overall efficacy of wound healing treatments.
