ABSTRACT
Stem cell exosomes (Exo) play an important role in the transformation of macrophages, but the rapid clearance of Exo in vivo limits their therapeutic effects for chronic inflammation wounds healing. Here, stem cell Exo was isolated and introduced to a composite hydrogel including carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) through chemical cross-linking, which formed an Exo-loaded (CMCS/OHA/Exo) hydrogel. The CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel exhibited a function of Exo sustained release and an Exo protection within 6 days. This CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel was much better than CMCS/OHA hydrogel or Exo solution in macrophage cell phagocytosis, proliferation and migration in vitro, especially, played an obviously positive role in the transformation of macrophages compared with the reference groups. For the treatment of the chronic inflammation wounds in vivo, the CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel had the best results at wound heal rate and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors, and it was far superior to reference groups in wound re-epithelization and collagen production. CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogels can promote Exo release based on hydrogel degradation to regulate macrophages transformation and accelerate chronic wound healing. The study offers a method for preparing Exo-loaded hydrogels that effectively promote the transformation of macrophages and accelerate chronic inflammatory wound healing.
