Microporous annealed particle scaffolds (MAPS) are a new class of granular materials generated through the interlinking of tunable microgels, which produce an interconnected network of void space. These microgel building blocks can be designed with different mechanical or bio-active parameters to facilitate cell infiltration and modulate host response. Previously, changing the chirality of the microgel crosslinking peptides from L- to D-amino acids led to significant tissue regeneration and functional recovery in D-MAPS-treated cutaneous wounds. In this study, the immunomodulatory effect of D-MAPS in a subcutaneous implantation model is investigated. How macrophages are the key antigen-presenting cells to uptake and present these biomaterials to the adaptive immune system is uncovered. A robust linker-specific IgG2b/IgG1 response to D-MAPS is detected as early as 14 days post-implantation. The fine balance between pro-regenerative and pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotypes is observed in D-MAPS as an indicator for regenerative scaffolds. The work offers valuable insights into the temporal cellular response to synthetic porous scaffolds and establishes a foundation for further optimization of immunomodulatory pro-regenerative outcomes.
微孔退火颗粒支架 (MAPS) 是一类新型的颗粒材料,通过可调谐微凝胶的交联形成,产生相互连接的空隙网络。这些微凝胶构建块可以设计具有不同的机械或生物活性参数,以促进细胞浸润并调节宿主反应。以前,将微凝胶交联肽的手性从 L-变为 D-氨基酸,导致 D-MAPS 处理的皮肤创伤中组织再生和功能恢复显著。在这项研究中,研究了 D-MAPS 在皮下植入模型中的免疫调节作用。揭示了巨噬细胞是摄取和将这些生物材料呈递给适应性免疫系统的关键抗原呈递细胞。早在植入后 14 天,就检测到针对 D-MAPS 的强链接特异性 IgG2b/IgG1 反应。在 D-MAPS 中观察到促再生和促炎巨噬细胞表型之间的精细平衡,作为再生支架的指标。这项工作为深入了解合成多孔支架的时间细胞反应提供了有价值的见解,并为进一步优化免疫调节促再生结果奠定了基础。
