ABSTRACT
Bone defects are a common and challenging orthopedic problem with poor self-healing ability and long treatment cycles. The difficult-to-heal bone defects cause a significant burden of medical expenses on patients. Currently, biomaterials with mechanical stability, long-lasting action, and osteogenic activity are considered as a suitable way to effectively heal bone defects. Here, an injectable double network (DN) hydrogel prepared using physical and chemical cross-linking methods is designed. The first rigid network is constructed using methylpropenylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA), while the addition of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) forms a second flexible network by physical cross-linking. The mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) were embedded into DN hydrogel, which not only enhanced the mechanical stability of the hydrogel, but also slowly released BMP-4 to achieve long-term skull repair. The designed composite hydrogel showed an excellent compression property and deformation resistance. In vitro studies confirmed that the HAMA/COS/MSN@BMP-4 hydrogel had good biocompatibility and showed great potential in supporting proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryo osteoblast precursor (MC3T3-E1) cells. Furthermore, in vivo studies confirmed that the DN hydrogel successfully filled and closed irregular skull defect wounds, effectively promoted bone regeneration, and significantly promoted bone repair compared with the control group. In addition, HAMA/COS/MSN@BMP-4 hydrogel precursor solution can quickly form hydrogel in situ at the wound by ultraviolet light, which can be applied to the closure and repair of wounds of different shapes, which provides the new way for the treatment of bone defects.
