Biomaterials composed of food polysaccharides are of great interest for future biomedical applications due to their great biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties, and complex architectural designs that play a crucial role in the modulation of cell adhesion and proliferation. In this work, a facile approach was designed to obtain novel 3D alginate-CaCO hybrid hydrogel particles in situ. Controlling the gel concentration from 3 to 20 mg·mL allows us to control the alginate-CaCO hydrogel particles' size and density (size variation from 1.86 to 2.34 mm and density from 1.22 to 1.29 mg/mm). This variable also has a considerable influence on the mineralization process resulting in CaCO particles with varied sizes and amounts within the hydrogel beads. The measurements of Young's modulus showed that the inclusion of CaCO particles into the alginate hydrogel improved its mechanical properties, and Young's modulus of these hybrid hydrogel particles had a linear relationship with alginate content and hydrogel particle size. Cell experiments indicated that alginate-CaCO hybrid hydrogel particles can support osteoblastic cell proliferation and growth. In particular, the amount of hydroxyapatite deposition on the cell membrane significantly increased after the treatment of cells with hybrid hydrogel particles, up to 20-fold. This work offers a strategy for constructing inorganic particle-doped polysaccharide hybrid hydrogel scaffolds that provide the potential to support cell growth.
由于其良好的生物相容性、可调的机械性能以及在调节细胞黏附和增殖方面发挥关键作用的复杂建筑设计,由食品多糖组成的生物材料在未来的生物医学应用中引起了极大的关注。在这项工作中,设计了一种简单的方法来原位获得新型的 3D 藻酸盐-CaCO 杂化水凝胶颗粒。控制凝胶浓度从 3 到 20mg·mL 可以控制藻酸盐-CaCO 水凝胶颗粒的尺寸和密度(尺寸变化从 1.86 到 2.34mm 和密度从 1.22 到 1.29mg/mm)。该变量对矿化过程也有很大的影响,导致 CaCO 颗粒在水凝胶珠内具有不同的尺寸和数量。杨氏模量的测量表明,将 CaCO 颗粒掺入藻酸盐水凝胶中可以提高其机械性能,并且这些杂化水凝胶颗粒的杨氏模量与藻酸盐含量和水凝胶颗粒尺寸呈线性关系。细胞实验表明,藻酸盐-CaCO 杂化水凝胶颗粒可以支持成骨细胞的增殖和生长。特别是,在用杂化水凝胶颗粒处理细胞后,细胞膜上羟基磷灰石的沉积量显著增加,最高可达 20 倍。这项工作提供了一种构建无机颗粒掺杂多糖杂化水凝胶支架的策略,为支持细胞生长提供了潜力。
