ABSTRACT
Wound infection remains a major challenge for health professionals, because it delays wound healing and increases the overall cost and morbidity. Therefore, the development of new biomaterials with new antibacterial properties and healing effects remains a dire clinical need. To solve this problem, we developed silver nanoparticles embedded in γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (Ag@MOF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-loaded hydrogel systems based on methacrylated silk fibroin (SFMA) and methacrylate hyaluronic acid (HAMA) as Ag+ ion and growth factor delivery vehicles for inhibiting the growth of drug-resistant bacteria and promoting wound healing. The prepared SFMA/HAMA hydrogel demonstrated good rheological properties, swelling capability, appropriate mechanical properties and controllable biodegradability. The SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF/PRP hydrogel showed sustained release profiles of Ag+ ions and EGF. The SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF hydrogel have good inherent antibacterial properties against both gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria. The prepared hydrogel showed excellent cytocompatibility and could stimulate the growth and proliferation rate of NIH-3T3 cells. In vivo experiments showed that SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF/PRP hydrogel treatment enhanced the healing of full-thickness wounds, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, and promoted re-epithelialization and collagen synthesis. All results indicated that the prepared hydrogel has tremendous potential to reduce wound infections and improve wound healing.
