Abstract

Acute wounds subject to frequent deformations are difficult to be treated because the healing process was easily interfered by external mechanical forces. Traditional wound dressings have limited efficacy because of their poor mechanical properties and skin adhesiveness and difficulty in the delivery of therapeutic drugs effectively. As such, tough and skin-adhesive wound dressings with sustainable and stimuli-responsive drug release properties for treatment of those wounds are highly desirable. For this purpose, we have developed a mechano-responsive poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) hydrogel which aims to control the delivery of antibiotic drug upon application of mechanical forces. Diacrylated Pluronic F127 micelles were used as a macro-cross-linker of the hydrogel and loaded with hydrophobic antimicrobial drugs. The micelle-cross-linked hydrogel has excellent mechanical properties, with the ultimate tensile strength and tensile strain of up to 112 kPa and 1420%, respectively, and compressive stress of up to 1.41 MPa. Adhesiveness of the hydrogel to the skin tissue was ∼6 kPa, and it did not decrease significantly after repetitive adhesion cycles. Protein adsorption on the hydrogel was significantly inhibited compared to that on commercial wound dressings. Because of the mechano-responsive deformation of micelles, the release of drug from the hydrogel could be precisely controlled by the extent and cycles of mechanical loading and unloading, endowing the hydrogel with superior antibacterial property against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, drug penetration into the skin tissue was enhanced by mechanical stress applied to the hydrogel. The micelle-cross-linked zwitterionic hydrogel also showed good cell biocompatibility, negligible skin irritation, and healing capacity to acute skin wounds in mice. Such a tough mechano-responsive hydrogel holds great promise as wound dressings for acute wounds subjected to frequent movements.

摘要

急性创伤经常会变形,因此难以治疗,因为其愈合过程很容易受到外部机械力的干扰。传统的创伤敷料由于其机械性能差、与皮肤的附着力差以及难以有效输送治疗药物,因此效果有限。因此,对于治疗这些伤口,人们非常需要具有机械响应性、可持续性和刺激响应性药物释放性能的坚韧且皮肤附着的创伤敷料。为此,我们开发了一种机械响应性聚(磺酸甜菜碱甲基丙烯酸酯)水凝胶,旨在通过施加机械力来控制抗生素药物的释放。二丙烯酰化的 Pluronic F127 胶束被用作水凝胶的大交联剂,并负载疏水性抗菌药物。该胶束交联的水凝胶具有出色的机械性能,其拉伸强度和拉伸应变分别高达 112kPa 和 1420%,压缩应力高达 1.41MPa。水凝胶对皮肤组织的附着力约为 6kPa,并且在重复粘附循环后不会明显降低。与商业创伤敷料相比,水凝胶对蛋白质的吸附显著减少。由于胶束的机械响应变形,水凝胶中药物的释放可以通过机械加载和卸载的程度和循环来精确控制,从而使水凝胶具有优异的抗革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌的抗菌性能。此外,通过对水凝胶施加机械应力,可以增强药物渗透到皮肤组织中。这种胶束交联的两性离子水凝胶还表现出良好的细胞生物相容性、极小的皮肤刺激性以及对小鼠急性皮肤伤口的愈合能力。这种坚韧的机械响应性水凝胶有望成为频繁运动的急性创伤的创伤敷料。
