Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of materials, and particularly relates to chitosan-graphene oxide composite gel and a preparation method thereof.

Background

The bone nonunion and bone defect caused by various reasons such as trauma, inflammation, tumor and the like are always difficult problems in the field of orthopedic treatment in the field of bone repair, the most common clinical method is to carry out surgical operation on a patient, but sequelae produced by the surgical operation are difficult to solve. The tissue and organ of human body have multiple functions which cannot be realized by artificial substitutes, and the transplantation of other bone tissues can generate autoimmunity. Under the condition that the measures have defects of applicability, complications and the like, the tissue engineering plays a crucial role, and the importance of taking which materials to perform bone grafting is always the focus of the research field.

In particular in the field of cartilage repair, a great deal of research has been conducted for a long time by clinicians and researchers on the surgical treatment of cartilage injuries, but to date there has been no way to reliably restore damaged cartilage to normal morphologically, biochemically and biomechanically. Therefore, we thought to try to solve this problem by tissue engineering, in which chitosan hydrogel is a better carrier.

Due to the various possible definitions of hydrogels, hydrogels are generally divided into three classes, depending on the nature of their network, namely entangled networks, covalently cross-linked networks and networks formed by secondary interactions. The latter class contains all intermediate cases except the other two classes. However, in the case of chitosan hydrogels, this classification is not entirely suitable. Of course, there are different boundaries between these classes, including entangled chitosan hydrogels covalently cross-linked chitosan hydrogels. Thus, chitosan hydrogels have been classified as improved, i.e., chemically and physically separate hydrogels. Chemical hydrogels are irreversible covalent linkages, such as in covalently crosslinked chitosan hydrogels. Physical hydrogels are formed by various reversible linkages. These can be ionically interacting ionically crosslinked hydrogels and polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), or secondary interaction/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) complex hydrogels in chitosan.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a chitosan-graphene oxide composite gel and a preparation method thereof. The present invention is the use of chitosan for tissue engineering scaffold materials, which is particularly attractive as a bone scaffold material because, in contrast to many synthetic polymers, chitosan has a hydrophilic surface, promotes cell adhesion and proliferation, and its degradation products are non-toxic. In addition, studies have shown that modified chitosan scaffolds exhibit osteoconductivity in bone defects generated during surgery. Few compounds are classified as bioactive, biodegradable and osteoconductive. Chitosan is an easily processed material for producing three-dimensional scaffolds with various pore structures. It can also be combined with various materials such as graphene oxide, etc. to produce composite scaffold properties with superior mechanical and biological properties.

The purpose of the invention is realized by the following scheme:

the invention provides a preparation method of chitosan-graphene oxide composite gel, which comprises the following steps:

s2, preparation of mineralized collagen powder: slowly dripping 0.055mol of PO into the collagen solution₄ ^3-The solution of (1); stirring the mixture at 25 ℃, and simultaneously dropwise adding a calcium ion aqueous solution; after the dropwise addition, dropwise adding a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution in the stirring process; standing for 4 hours, removing supernatant, washing, filtering, freeze-drying and grinding to obtain mineralized collagen powder;

s4, weighing 0.3g of double-ended benzaldehyde polyethylene glycol powder, and dissolving in 1.2g of deionized water to obtain a DF-PEG cross-linking agent solution;

The invention has the beneficial effects that:

the beneficial effects and principles of the present application are written.

After a series of tests are carried out on the composite hydrogel prepared by the invention, the following conclusion and principle explanation are obtained:

(1) through microscopic observation of an SEM (scanning electron microscope), under the microscopic form, the freeze-dried hydrogel keeps the cross-linking form, the sizes of all pores are uniform, and a stable and continuous three-dimensional network structure is formed. Meanwhile, porous structures which are communicated with each other are formed inside the composite hydrogel, the pore size range is suitable for bone cell growth, and the pore size is gradually reduced along with the addition of the graphene oxide. The reasons may be: the hydrogel porous structure is mainly formed by Schiff base bonds and internal hydrogen bonds, and strong intermolecular force can be formed between the graphite oxide and the hydrogel matrix, so that the hydrogel has the function of physical cross-linking points, and has better mechanical properties and a more stable structure. The existence of the pore size of the composite hydrogel is beneficial to the adhesion and growth of cells and the delivery of nutrients, and is an ideal material for cartilage repair.

(2) Through rheological tests, complex gels are known to be non-newtonian fluids. With the increase of the concentration of the graphene oxide, the viscosity of the composite hydrogel is increased and then reduced, the viscosity reaches a peak when the concentration of the graphene oxide is 2%, and the composite hydrogel keeps the shear thinning characteristic. Can be used for constructing tissue engineering scaffolds by biological 3D printing. The storage modulus and the loss modulus of the composite hydrogel are tested under the condition that the strain is 2%, when the angular speed change range is 0.1 to 100rad/s, the elastic modulus of the hydrogel is relatively stable and does not change depending on the angular speed change, and the elastic modulus is far higher than the loss modulus, so that the stability of the material performance is proved. Moreover, due to the addition of the graphene oxide and the mineralized collagen, the elastic modulus and the mechanical strength of the hydrogel are increased.

(3) Through the 3D printing performance test of the composite gel, the bracket can be successfully printed when the content of the graphene oxide is 0%, 1%, 2% and 4%. However, after high-definition picture comparison, it is found that the frames of a group of 3D printing supports without added graphene oxide are obviously not very regular, a fracture condition also occurs in a part of the frames, and a gap which should occur in a part of the frames disappears. The effect of the rest three printing support finished products added with the graphene oxide is obviously better than that of a support with the graphene oxide content of 0%, the line outline of a support frame is clear, particularly, the support with the graphene oxide content of 1% successfully presents each pore, the thickness of the frame is uniform, the size of each grid is basically consistent, and the support is the most elegant one of the four contents. The addition of the graphene oxide is proved to improve the printability of the composite hydrogel.

(4) Through a composite gel self-healing experiment, the self-healing property of the composite hydrogel is very good when gelatin is used as a control group, and based on the good biocompatibility of the composite hydrogel, the self-healing hydrogel is expected to provide diversified applications in the biomedical field, can be used for cartilage repair, and is well suitable for the conditions of tearing, fracture and the like which may occur in vivo.

In summary, the following conclusions can be drawn: the chitosan-mineralized collagen-graphene oxide composite hydrogel has the characteristics of quick gelling, self-healing and the like, and has biological 3D printing adaptability. The mechanical property of the composite hydrogel is enhanced after the graphene oxide is added, and the porous structure is favorable for the adhesion and growth of cells; the bioprintability is improved. Is expected to be used as a tissue engineering scaffold material. The prepared composite hydrogel has shear thinning characteristic and good viscoelasticity, and the tissue engineering scaffold can be constructed by a biological 3D printing technology at 37 ℃.

Characterization and Performance testing

And (3) testing:

1. the microporous morphology of the hydrogel was observed by SEM (test method: by SEM (Hitachi SU-8010, 5 KV.) Prior to SEM observation, the composite hydrogel frozen overnight at-55 ℃ was cut into an appropriate size, the cross section was fixed on a sample stage with a conductive tape facing up for observation, then gold was sprayed on the cross section by a vacuum coater for 240s, and the internal morphology of the hydrogel was observed by SEM.

2. FIG. 2 test method of FIG. 3: rheological measurements were made on CS/GR composite hydrogels using a rotational rheometer (AR-G2) operating under controlled stress. The instrument was equipped with a 25mm diameter stainless steel parallel plate geometry and water collector to keep the hydrogel moisture constant and minimize water evaporation. All samples were approximately 5 μm thick at room temperature (25 ℃). The applied strain was 1%. The shear frequency varied from 0.1 to 100rad/s and the heating rate was 2 ℃/min. The viscosity curve was determined by log shear rate scanning, with shear rates ranging from 0.1s-1 to 100 s-1. Uniformly spreading the CS/GR composite hydrogel on a sample table, removing bubbles in the gel to obtain a flat and uniform-thickness surface, contacting an upper plate of a parallel plate with the sample gel, and then carrying out data acquisition.

3. The test method comprises the following steps: parameters were measured using a microplate reader at 562nm light.

As a result:

1. as can be seen from FIG. 1, the three-dimensional cross-linked network in the CS/GO composite hydrogel was confirmed by SEM (see FIG. 1), indicating that the gel has an interconnected porous structure. These interconnected pores allow cells to grow in the hydrogel. a-d show pore sizes of 245 + -50.75 μm, 232 + -28.51 μm, 178 + -42.63 μm and 156 + -19.17 μm, respectively. With increasing nHAC incorporation, the pore size of the micropores decreases due to an increase in crosslink density inside the hydrogel.

2. As shown in fig. 2a), the CS/GO composite hydrogels all exhibited shear-thinning phenomena with apparent viscosity decreasing with increasing shear rate. At low shear rates, the four gels all had higher apparent viscosities: wherein the mineralized collagen content is 2%, so that the electrostatic acting force generated by the mineralized collagen and the graphene oxide carboxyl is enhanced, and the viscosity of the system is highest. At high shear rate, after the shear rate reaches more than 1s < -1 >, the viscosity values of gel samples tend to zero, and the gel network is damaged at the high shear rate, so that the viscosity of the system is reduced. As shown in FIGS. 2b), c), the storage modulus G 'and loss modulus G ", G' is much higher than G", which are typical rheological behavior of gels. Indicating that the hydrogel exhibited a distinct solid-like behavior. The G 'of the composite hydrogel is stable and does not change depending on the change of the angular velocity, and the storage modulus and the mechanical strength of the G' of the composite hydrogel added with the graphene are increased. The phenomena show that a cross-linked network system exists between the chitosan and the graphene oxide, so that the stable composite hydrogel is formed. .

3. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the swelling of the hydrogel increased first and then decreased slightly with increasing mineralized collagen content, and the maximum equilibrium swelling ratio was 4.24. This is due to the presence of larger pores on the hydrogel surface, which leads to a fast filling of the solvent. The reduction can be attributed to the high dispersion of nHAC in the CS hydrogel pores, thereby reducing swelling capacity.

4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, intracellular protein content and cell OD values were measured by BCA and cck-8. As is clear from FIG. 4, both the OD value of L929 cells and the intracellular protein concentration increased with time, and the difference in concentration had a certain effect on the proliferation of cells in 1d of culture, and the OD value was 1.9983 at the maximum. This shows that the CS/GO composite hydrogel can better promote the proliferation and differentiation of cells and has good biocompatibility under the condition of co-culture with L929 cells.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes, which are made by the present specification, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
