ABSTRACT
The repair of infected wounds is a complex physiopathologic process. Current studies on infected wound treatment have predominantly focused on infection treatment, while the factors related to delayed healing caused by vascular damage and immune imbalance are commonly overlooked. In this study, an extracellular matrix (ECM)-like dynamic and multifunctional hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel with antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and angiogenic capabilities was designed as wound dressing for the treatment of infected skin wounds. The dynamic network in the hydrogel dressing was based on reversible metal-ligand coordination formed between sulfhydryl groups and bioactive metal ions. In our design, antibacterial silver and immunomodulatory zinc ions were employed to coordinate with sulfhydrylated HA and a vasculogenic peptide. In addition to the desired bioactivities for infected wounds, the hydrogel could also exhibit self-healing and injectable abilities. Animal experiments with infected skin wound models indicated that the hydrogel dressings enabled minimally invasive injection and seamless skin wound covering and then facilitated wound healing by efficient bacterial killing, continuous inflammation inhibition, and improved blood vessel formation. In conclusion, the metal ion-coordinated hydrogels with wound-infection-desired bioactivities and ECM-like dynamic structures represent a class of tissue bionic wound dressings for the treatment of infected and chronic inflammation wounds.
