Zn2+-Loaded adhesive bacterial cellulose hydrogel with angiogenic and antibacterial abilities for accelerating wound healing

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Wound healing is a process that requires angiogenesis and antibacterial activities and it remains a challenge for both experimental and clinical research worldwide. Zn2+ has been reported to be widely involved in angiogenesis and exerts antibacterial effects, making it suitable as a treatment to promote wound healing. Therefore Zn2+-loaded adhesive bacterial cellulose hydrogel was designed to observe its angiogenic and antibacterial abilities in the wound healing process.

Methods

The characterization, tensile strength, swelling behaviors and antibacterial activity of bacterial cellulose/polydopamine/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (BC/PDA/ZIF8) hydrogels were tested. Cell-Counting-Kit-8 (CCK8), transwell, tube formation and real time qunantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) assays were performed to evaluate the cell compatibility of BC/PDA/ZIF8 hydrogels in vitro. A full-thickness defect wound model and histological assays were used to evaluate the BC/PDA/ZIF8 hydrogels in vivo.

Results

The prepared BC/PDA/ZIF8 hydrogels exhibited suitable mechanical strength, excellent swelling properties, good tissue adhesion, efficient angiogenic and antibacterial effects and good performance as a physical barrier. In vivo experiments showed that the BC/PDA/ZIF8 hydrogels accelerated wound healing in a full-thickness defect wound model by stimulating angiogenesis.

Conclusions

This study proved that BC/PDA/ZIF8 hydrogels possess great potential for promoting satisfactory wound healing in full-thickness wound defects through antibacterial effects and improved cell proliferation, tissue formation, remodeling and re-epithelialization.

Local Immunomodulation Using an Adhesive Hydrogel Loaded with miRNA-Laden Nanoparticles Promotes Wound Healing.

Project description:Chronic wounds are characterized by impaired healing and uncontrolled inflammation, which compromise the protective role of the immune system and may lead to bacterial infection. Upregulation of miR-223 microRNAs (miRNAs) shows driving of the polarization of macrophages toward the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, which could aid in the acceleration of wound healing. However, local-targeted delivery of microRNAs is still challenging, due to their low stability. Here, adhesive hydrogels containing miR-223 5p mimic (miR-223*) loaded hyaluronic acid nanoparticles are developed to control tissue macrophages polarization during wound healing processes. In vitro upregulation of miR-223* in J774A.1 macrophages demonstrates increased expression of the anti-inflammatory gene Arg-1 and a decrease in proinflammatory markers, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. The therapeutic potential of miR-223* loaded adhesive hydrogels is also evaluated in vivo. The adhesive hydrogels could adhere to and cover the wounds during the healing process in an acute excisional wound model. Histological evaluation and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis show that local delivery of miR-223* efficiently promotes the formation of uniform vascularized skin at the wound site, which is mainly due to the polarization of macrophages to the M2 phenotype. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of nanoparticle-laden hydrogels conveying miRNA-223* to accelerate wound healing.

A Shape-Adaptive Gallic Acid Driven Multifunctional Adhesive Hydrogel Loaded with Scolopin2 for Wound Repair.

Project description:Wound healing is one of the major challenges in the biomedical fields. The conventional single drug treatment has unsatisfactory efficacy, and the drug delivery effectiveness is restricted by the short retention on the wound. Herein, we develop a multifunctional adhesive hydrogel that can realize robust adhesion, transdermal delivery, and combination therapy for wound healing. Multifunctional hydrogels (CS-GA-S) are mixed with chitosan-gallic acid (CS-GA), sodium periodate, and centipede peptide-scolopin2, which slowly releases scolopin2 in the layer of the dermis. The released scolopin2 induces the pro-angiogenesis of skin wounds and enables excellent antibacterial effects. Separately, GA as a natural reactive-oxygen-species-scavenger promotes antioxidation, and further enables excellent antibacterial effects and wet tissue adhesion due to a Schiff base and Michael addition reaction for accelerating wound healing. Once adhered to the wound, the precursor solution becomes both a physically and covalently cross-linked network hydrogel, which has potential advantages for wound healing with ease of use, external environment-isolating, and minimal tissue damage. The therapeutic effects of CS-GA-S on wound healing are demonstrated with the full thickness cutaneous wounds of a mouse model. The significant improvement of wound healing is achieved for mice treated with CS-GA-S. This preparation reduces wound system exposure, prolongs local drug residence time, and improves efficacy. Accordingly, with the incorporation of scolopin2 into the shape-adaptive CS-GA hydrogel, the composite hydrogel possesses multi-functions of mechanical adhesion, drug therapy, and skin wound healing. Overall, such an injectable or sprayable hydrogel plays an effective role in emergency wound treatment with the advantage of convenience and portability.

Hydrogel with ROS scavenging effect encapsulates BR@Zn-BTB nanoparticles for accelerating diabetic mice wound healing via multimodal therapy

Project description:Summary The strategies for eliminating excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) or suppressing inflammatory responses on the wound bed have proven effective for diabetic wound healing. In this work, a zinc-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) functions as a carrier to deliver natural product berberine (BR) to form BR@Zn-BTB nanoparticles, which was, in turn, further encapsulated by hydrogel with ROS scavenging ability to yield a composite system of BR@Zn-BTB/Gel (denoted as BZ-Gel). The results show that BZ-Gel exhibited the controlled release of Zn2+ and BR in simulated physiological media to efficiently eliminated ROS and inhibited inflammation and resulted in a promising antibacterial effect. In vivo experiments further proved that BZ-Gel significantly inhibited the inflammatory response and enhanced collagen deposition, as well as to re-epithelialize the skin wound to ultimately promote wound healing in diabetic mice. Our results indicate that the ROS-responsive hydrogel coupled with BR@Zn-BTB synergistically promotes diabetic wound healing.

Fabrication of gelatin-based and Zn<sup>2+</sup>-incorporated composite hydrogel for accelerated infected wound healing.

Project description:Gelatin-based hydrogels have a broad range of biomedical fields due to their biocompatibility, convenience for chemical modifications, and degradability. However, gelatin-based hydrogels present poor antibacterial ability that hinders their applications in treating infected wound healing. Herein, a series of multifunctional hydrogels (Gel@Zn) were fabricated through free-radical polymerization interaction based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and dopamine methacrylate (DMA), and then immersed them into zinc nitrate solutions based on the metal coordination and ionic bonding interaction. These designed hydrogels wound dressings show strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and changing bacterial membrane permeability. Meanwhile, the hydrogels exhibit good cytocompatibility, enhance the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of NIH-3T3 cells. Furthermore, Gel@Zn-0.08 (0.08 M Zn2+ immersed with Gel sample) presents a good balance between antibacterial effect, cell viability, and hemolytic property. Compared with 3 M commercial dressings, Gel@Zn-0.04, and Gel@Zn-0.16, the Gel@Zn-0.08 could significantly improve the healing process of S. aureus-infected full-thickness wounds via restrained the inflammatory responses, enhanced epidermis and granulation tissue information, and stimulated angiogenesis. Our study indicates that the Zn-incorporated hydrogels are promising bioactive materials as wound dressings for infected full-thickness wound healing and skin regeneration.

Bimetal-Organic Framework-Loaded PVA/Chitosan Composite Hydrogel with Interfacial Antibacterial and Adhesive Hemostatic Features for Wound Dressings.

Project description:Silver-containing wound dressings have shown attractive advantages in the treatment of wound infection due to their excellent antibacterial activity. However, the introduction of silver ions or AgNPs directly into the wound can cause deposition in the body as particles. Here, with the aim of designing low-silver wound dressings, a bimetallic-MOF antibacterial material called AgCu@MOF was developed using 3, 5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid as the ligand and Ag+ and Cu2+ as metal ion sites. PCbM (PVA/chitosan/AgCu@MOF) hydrogel was successfully constructed in PVA/chitosan wound dressing loaded with AgCu@MOF. The active sites on the surface of AgCu@MOF increased the lipophilicity to bacteria and caused the bacterial membrane to undergo lipid peroxidation, which resulted in the strong bactericidal properties of AgCu@MOF, and the antimicrobial activity of the dressing PCbM was as high as 99.9%. The chelation of silver ions in AgCu@MOF with chitosan occupied the surface functional groups of chitosan and reduced the crosslinking density of chitosan. PCbM changes the hydrogel crosslinking network, thus improving the water retention and water permeability of PCbM hydrogel so that the hydrogel has the function of binding wet tissue. As a wound adhesive, PCbM hydrogel reduces the amount of wound bleeding and has good biocompatibility. PCbM hydrogel-treated mice achieved 96% wound recovery on day 14. The strong antibacterial, tissue adhesion, and hemostatic ability of PCbM make it a potential wound dressing.

Photo-Crosslinked Pro-Angiogenic Hydrogel Dressing for Wound Healing.

Project description:Severe burns are one of the most devastating injuries, in which sustained inflammation and ischemia often delay the healing process. Pro-angiogenic growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been widely studied for promoting wound healing. However, the short half-life and instability of VEGF limit its clinical applications. In this study, we develop a photo-crosslinked hydrogel wound dressing from methacrylate hyaluronic acid (MeHA) bonded with a pro-angiogenic prominin-1-binding peptide (PR1P). The materials were extruded in wound bed and in situ formed a wound dressing via exposure to short-time ultraviolet radiation. The study shows that the PR1P-bonded hydrogel significantly improves VEGF recruitment, tubular formation, and cell migration in vitro. Swelling, Scanning Electron Microscope, and mechanical tests indicate the peptide does not affect the overall mechanical and physical properties of the hydrogels. For in vivo studies, the PR1P-bonded hydrogel dressing enhances neovascularization and accelerates wound closure in both deep second-degree burn and full-thickness excisional wound models. The Western blot assay shows such benefits can be related to the activation of the VEGF-Akt signaling pathway. These results suggest this photo-crosslinked hydrogel dressing efficiently promotes VEGF recruitment and angiogenesis in skin regeneration, indicating its potential for clinical applications in wound healing.

Thermosensitive Hydrogel Wound Dressing Loaded with Bacteriophage Lysin LysP53.

Project description:Wound infections are prone to attacks from infectious pathogens, including multidrug resistant bacteria that render conventional antimicrobials ineffective. Recently, lysins have been proposed as alternatives to conventional antimicrobials to tackle the menace of multidrug resistance pathogens. The coupling of lysins with a material that will cover the wound may prove beneficial in both protecting and treating wound infections. Hence, in this study, a Gram-negative lysin, LysP53, was coupled with a thermosensitive hydrogel, poloxamer P407, and its efficacy to treat wound infection was tested. In vitro, the addition of LysP53 to the poloxamer did not affect its thermosensitive characteristics, nor did it affect the hydrogel structure. Moreover, the lysin hydrogel could hydrolyze the peptidoglycan, demonstrating that it may have bactericidal activity. Up to 10.4% of LysP53 was released from the hydrogel gradually within 24 h, which led to a 4-log reduction of stationary phase Acinetobacter baumannii. Lastly, the lysin hydrogel was found safe with no cytotoxic effects observed in cells. Ex vivo, LysP53 hydrogel could inhibit bacterial growth on a pig skin decolonization model, with 3-log differences compared to non-treated groups. Overall, our results suggest that lysin-loaded hydrogels may provide a novel solution to treat wound infections caused by resistant bacteria.

Disulfiram-loaded nanovesicles hydrogel promotes healing of diabetic wound.

Project description:BackgroundTraditional methods for treating diabetic wounds are limited in effectiveness because of their long healing times, the risk of immune rejection, and susceptibility to infection. Suppressing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is an effective strategy for reducing persistent inflammation in diabetic wounds. Although disulfiram (DSF) can inhibit the significant increase of NETs in diabetic wounds, oral DSF suffers from rapid and harmful metabolism in the liver. To address these challenges, we developed a nanomedicine formulation in which DSF was incorporated into the hydrogel.MethodsIn this study, we developed a DSF-laden sodium alginate hydrogel wound dressing, DEP@SA, and characterized its composition, properties, and performance. We examined the effects of DEP@SA on inflammatory phase-related markers such as NETs and their pathway proteins, inflammatory factors, and macrophage phenotypes in a high-glucose environment in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the effects of DEP@SA on tissue regenerative capacity such as epidermal proliferative migration and angiogenesis, were also assessed.ResultsThe results showed that by utilizing extracellular vesicles as a drug delivery system, we effectively mitigated the degradation of DSF via direct contact with aqueous solutions and ensured the stability of DSF@SA, which could then be applied to diabetic wounds. The inflammatory phase-related indicators revealed that DSF@SA effectively reduced inflammation levels, decreased NETs formation, suppressed the Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway in neutrophils, and promoted the polarization of M2 macrophages. Moreover, the hydrogel accelerated wound healing by promoting angiogenesis and re-epithelialization, thereby shortening the diabetic wound healing time.ConclusionsThis study confirmed that the DSF@SA composite dressing has the potential to enhance diabetic wound repair and offers a novel approach for drug reutilization.

Highly Stretchable, Adhesive, Biocompatible, and Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressings for Wound Healing.

Project description:Treatment of wounds in special areas is challenging due to inevitable movements and difficult fixation. Common cotton gauze suffers from incomplete joint surface coverage, confinement of joint movement, lack of antibacterial function, and frequent replacements. Hydrogels have been considered as good candidates for wound dressing because of their good flexibility and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the adhesive, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of conventional hydrogels are not satisfactory. Herein, cationic polyelectrolyte brushes grafted from bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers are introduced into polydopamine/polyacrylamide hydrogels. The 1D polymer brushes have rigid BC backbones to enhance mechanical property of hydrogels, realizing high tensile strength (21-51 kPa), large tensile strain (899-1047%), and ideal compressive property. Positively charged quaternary ammonium groups of tethered polymer brushes provide long-lasting antibacterial property to hydrogels and promote crawling and proliferation of negatively charged epidermis cells. Moreover, the hydrogels are rich in catechol groups and capable of adhering to various surfaces, meeting adhesive demand of large movement for special areas. With the above merits, the hydrogels demonstrate less inflammatory response and faster healing speed for in vivo wound healing on rats. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogels show stable covering, little displacement, long-lasting antibacteria, and fast wound healing, demonstrating promise in wound dressing.

A Novel Therapeutic Calcium Peroxide Loaded Injectable Bio-adhesive Hydrogel Against Periodontitis.

Project description:ObjectivesPeriodontitis is a prevalent oral disease that can significantly impact patients' life quality and systemic health. However, non-surgical subgingival scaling is largely compromised due to poor patient compliance, leading to a high recurrence rate of periodontitis. Therefore, this research aims to explore new approaches to enhance the effectiveness of existing local drug administration therapies.Materials and methodsGelatin-oxidized dextran hydrogel loaded with calcium peroxide and penicillin (CP-P hydrogel) was synthesized and characterized using Universal mechanical testing machine, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, swelling test, and dissolved oxygen meter. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity, osteogenic ability, antibacterial behavior, and alveolar bone regenerating capability of CP-P hydrogel were conducted both in vitro and in vivo.ResultsThe CP-P hydrogel demonstrated excellent mechanical properties, minimal swelling, and ideal biocompatibility. It created more favorable environments in the periodontal pocket by reversing anaerobic environment, eliminating drug-resistant bacteria and enhancing the therapeutic potency of drugs. By continuously releasing drugs in the periodontal pocket, the CP-P hydrogel effectively inhibited bacteria and reduce local inflammation response. In addition to bacteriostatic effects, the CP-P hydrogel also promoted the expression of osteogenic genes and enhanced osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in vitro.ConclusionsCP-P hydrogel can be developed as a new therapeutic platform to enhance the effectiveness of local drug administration strategy against periodontitis.
