Angiogenesis is pivotal for osteogenesis during bone regeneration. A hydrogel that promotes both angiogenesis and osteogenesis is essential in bone tissue engineering. However, creating scaffolds with the ideal balance of biodegradability, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties poses a challenge. Thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10), known for its dual role in angiogenesis and osteogenesis differentiation, faces limitations due to protein activity preservation. To tackle this issue, ZIF-8 was engineered as a carrier for TMSB10 (TMSB10@ZIF-8), and subsequently integrated into the self-assembled sericin hydrogel. The efficacy of the composite hydrogel in bone repair was assessed using a rat cranial defect model. Characterization of the nanocomposites confirmed the successful synthesis of TMSB10@ZIF-8, with a TMSB10 encapsulation efficiency of 88.21 %. The sustained release of TMSB10 from TMSB10@ZIF-8 has significantly enhanced tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and promoted angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model in vivo. It has markedly improved the osteogenic differentiation ability of MC 3 T3-E1 cells in vitro. 8 weeks post-implantation, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/ Sericin hydrogel group exhibited significant bone healing (86.77 ± 8.91 %), outperforming controls. Thus, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/Sericin hydrogel, leveraging ZIF-8 for TMSB10 delivery, emerges as a promising bone regeneration scaffold with substantial clinical application potential.
血管生成对于骨再生过程中的成骨作用至关重要。一种能够促进血管生成和成骨作用的水凝胶在骨组织工程中是必不可少的。然而,制造具有理想生物降解性、成骨性和血管生成性的支架仍然具有挑战性。胸腺素β 10(TMSB10)因其在血管生成和成骨分化中的双重作用而为人所知,但由于蛋白质活性的保存问题,其应用受到限制。为了解决这个问题,将 ZIF-8 设计为 TMSB10(TMSB10@ZIF-8)的载体,然后将其整合到自组装丝素水凝胶中。通过大鼠颅缺损模型评估了复合水凝胶在骨修复中的疗效。纳米复合材料的特性分析证实了 TMSB10@ZIF-8 的成功合成,TMSB10 的包封效率为 88.21%。TMSB10@ZIF-8 中 TMSB10 的持续释放显著增强了人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)的体外管形成,并促进了鸡胚绒毛尿囊膜(CAM)模型中的血管生成。它显著提高了 MC 3 T3-E1 细胞在体外的成骨分化能力。植入 8 周后,TMSB10@ZIF-8/丝素水凝胶组表现出明显的骨愈合(86.77±8.91%),优于对照组。因此,TMSB10@ZIF-8/丝素水凝胶利用 ZIF-8 来输送 TMSB10,作为一种具有巨大临床应用潜力的新型骨再生支架。
