ABSTRACT
Background:
In the environment of cartilage injury, the activation of vascular endothelial cell (VEC), marked with excessive CD62E and reactive oxygen species (ROS), can affect the formation of hyaluronic cartilage. Therefore, we developed a CD62E- and ROS-responsive drug delivery system using E-selectin binding peptide, Thioketal, and silk fibroin (ETS) to achieve targeted delivery and controlled release of Clematis triterpenoid saponins (CS) against activated VEC, and thus promote cartilage regeneration.Methods:
We prepared and characterized ETS/CS and verified their CD62E- and ROS-responsive properties in vitro. We investigated the effect and underlying mechanism of ETS/CS on inhibiting VEC activation and promoting chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). We also analyzed the effect of ETS/CS on suppressing the activated VEC-macrophage inflammatory cascade in vitro. Additionally, we constructed a rat knee cartilage defect model and administered ETS/CS combined with BMSC-containing hydrogels. We detected the cartilage differentiation, the level of VEC activation and macrophage in the new tissue, and synovial tissue.Results:
ETS/CS was able to interact with VEC and inhibit VEC activation through the carried CS. Coculture experiments verified ETS/CS promoted chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs by inhibiting the activated VEC-induced inflammatory cascade of macrophages via OPA1-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis. In the rat knee cartilage defect model, ETS/CS reduced VEC activation, migration, angiogenesis in new tissues, inhibited macrophage infiltration and inflammation, promoted chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs in the defective areas.Conclusions:
CD62E- and ROS-responsive ETS/CS promoted cartilage repair by inhibiting VEC activation and macrophage inflammation and promoting BMSC chondrogenesis. Therefore, it is a promising therapeutic strategy to promote articular cartilage repair.
