Effective wound repair is critically impaired by persistent inflammatory responses and oxidative damage, which collectively impede tissue regeneration and exacerbate fibrotic scarring. To overcome these dual barriers, we engineered a multifunctional hydrogel platform, designated KGM-GA/XG-DPA (KG-XD), through molecular integration of gallic acid-conjugated konjac glucomannan (KGM-GA) with dopamine-modified xanthan gum (XG-DPA). This biomaterial system demonstrates dual therapeutic modalities: (1) concurrent scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via synergistic redox activity from phenolic components (gallic acid and catechol moieties), and (2) targeted immunomodulation through carbohydrate-mediated engagement of CD206 receptors to drive M2 macrophage polarization. Enhanced by dopamine-driven tissue adhesion and self-healing properties, the hydrogel maintains structural integrity under physiological stress. In murine full-thickness wound models, KG-XD treatment achieved an impressive 81 % epithelial closure within 7 days, accompanied by an 8.7-fold upregulation of CD31 neovascular networks by day 14. Notably, these therapeutic outcomes were accomplished through endogenous biological activation rather than exogenous growth factors or pharmacological agents. By converging antioxidant defense with innate immune reprogramming in a single biomaterial platform, KG-XD establishes a novel drug-free paradigm for accelerated wound regeneration, demonstrating significant translational potential in clinical wound management.
持续的炎症反应和氧化损伤严重损害了有效的伤口修复,这些因素共同阻碍了组织再生并加剧了纤维化瘢痕形成。为了克服这两个障碍,我们通过将没食子酸共轭魔芋葡甘露聚糖(KGM-GA)与多巴胺修饰的黄原胶(XG-DPA)进行分子整合,设计了一种多功能水凝胶平台,命名为KGM-GA/XG-DPA(KG-XD)。这个生物材料系统展示了两种治疗方式:(1)通过酚类成分(没食子酸和儿茶酚基团)的协同氧化还原活性同时清除活性氧(ROS),以及(2)通过碳水化合物介导的CD206受体结合来驱动M2巨噬细胞极化进行靶向免疫调节。受多巴胺驱动的组织粘附和自愈特性的增强,水凝胶在生理应激下保持结构完整性。在小鼠全层伤口模型中,KG-XD治疗在7天内实现了令人印象深刻的81%上皮闭合,到第14天CD血管生成网络上调了8.7倍。值得注意的是,这些治疗结果是通过内源性生物激活而不是外源性生长因子或药物实现的。通过在单一生物材料平台中将抗氧化防御与先天免疫重编程相结合,KG-XD建立了一种加速伤口再生的新型无药模式,在临床伤口管理中显示出巨大的转化潜力。
