Advances of biomacromolecule-based antibacterial hydrogels and their performance evaluation for wound healing: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135577. [PMID: 39270907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
Biomacromolecule hydrogels possess excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, but their inability to combat bacteria restricts their application in the biomedical field. With the increasing requirements and demands for hydrogel dressings, wound dressings with antibacterial properties of biomacromolecule hydrogels reinforced by adding antibacterial agents have attracted much attention, and related reviews are emerging. In this paper, the advances of biomacromolecule antibacterial hydrogels (including chitosan, sodium alginate, Hyaluronic acid, cellulose and gelatin) were first overviewed, and the antibacterial agents incorporated into hydrogels were classified (including metals and their derivatives, carbon-based materials, and native compounds). A series of performance evaluations of antibacterial hydrogels in the process of promoting wound healing were then reviewed, including basic properties (mechanical, rheological, injectable and self-healing, etc.), in vitro experiments (hemostasis, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, biocompatibility) and in vivo experiments (in vivo model, histomorphology analysis, cytokines). Finally, the future development of biomacromolecule-based antibacterial hydrogels for wound healing is prospected. This work can provide a useful reference for researchers to prepare practical new wound hydrogel dressings.

Abstract
Skin wound dressings are commonly utilized for the treatment of skin injuries, as they effectively facilitate wound healing and possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. However, conventional dressings fail to inhibit ROS production and promote vascularization, leading to delayed wound healing. Here, we developed injectable self-crosslinking hydrogels through thiolated hyaluronic acid (HASH/rhCOLIII) with enhancing the ROS inhibitory capacity while preserving the cell adhesion ability of hyaluronic acid. Additionally, recombinant humanized collagen type III (rhCOLIII) is incorporated via electrostatic adsorption to further enhance mechanical strength and angiogenesis properties of the hydrogel. The HASH/rhCOLIII demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, remarkable ROS scavenging ability, as well as hemostatic and angiogenic properties. Cell experiment results show that HASH/rhCOLIII has excellent biocompatibility and can significantly promote angiogenesis. Animal experiments results showed that HASH/rhCOLIII exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, significantly accelerating wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model. These findings highlight that HASH/rhCOLIII hydrogel holds great promise as an advanced dressing for effective wound healing.

Abstract
The radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) remains a great challenge for clinical wound management and care after radiotherapy, as patients will suffer from the acute radiation injury and long-term chronic inflammatory damage during the treatment. The excessive ROS in the early acute stage and prolonged inflammatory response in the late healing process always hinder therapeutic efficiency. Herein, we developed an extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic multifunctional glycopeptide hydrogel (oCP@As) to promote and accelerate RISI repair via a dual-modulation strategy in different healing stages. The oCP@As hydrogel not only can form an ECM-like nanofiber structure through the Schiff base reaction but also exhibits ROS scavenging and DNA double-strand break repair abilities, which can effectively reduce the acute radiation damage. Meanwhile, the introduction of oxidized chondroitin sulfate, which is the ECM polysaccharide-like component, enables regulation of the inflammatory response by adsorption of inflammatory factors, accelerating the repair of chronic inflammatory injury. The animal experiments demonstrated that oCP@As can significantly weaken RISI symptoms, promote epidermal tissue regeneration and angiogenesis, and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Therefore, this multifunctional glycopeptide hydrogel dressing can effectively attenuate RISI symptoms and promote RISI healing, showing great potential for clinical applications in radiotherapy protection and repair.

Glucopeptide Superstructure Hydrogel Promotes Surgical Wound Healing Following Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy by Producing NO and Anticellular Senescence. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2400406.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant radiotherapy, a preoperative intervention regimen for reducing the stage of primary tumors and surgical margins, has gained increasing attention in the past decade. However, radiation-induced skin damage during neoadjuvant radiotherapy exacerbates surgical injury, remarkably increasing the risk of refractory wounds and compromising the therapeutic effects. Radiation impedes wound healing by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species and inducing cell apoptosis and senescence. Here, a self-assembling peptide (R-peptide) and hyaluronic-acid (HA)-based and cordycepin-loaded superstructure hydrogel is prepared for surgical incision healing after neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Results show that i) R-peptide coassembles with HA to form biomimetic fiber bundle microstructure, in which R-peptide drives the assembly of single fiber through π-π stacking and other forces and HA, as a single fiber adhesive, facilitates bunching through electrostatic interactions. ii) The biomimetic superstructure contributes to the adhesion and proliferation of cells in the surgical wound. iii) Aldehyde-modified HA provides dynamic covalent binding sites for cordycepin to achieve responsive release, inhibiting radiation-induced cellular senescence. iv) Arginine in the peptides provides antioxidant capacity and a substrate for the endogenous production of nitric oxide to promote wound healing and angiogenesis of surgical wounds after neoadjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a pivotal means of cancer treatment, but it often leads to radiation dermatitis, a skin injury caused by radiation-induced excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Scavenging free radicals in the course of radiation therapy will be an effective means to prevent radiation dermatitis. This study demonstrates a novel double network hydrogel doped with MoS2 nanosheets for the prevention of radiation-induced dermatitis. The resultant SPM hydrogel constructed from polyacrylamide (PAM) and sodium alginate (SA) nanofiber presented favorable mechanical and adhesion properties. It could conform well to the human body's irregular contours without secondary dressing fixation, making it suitable for skin protection applications. The in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the antioxidant properties conferred by MoS2 nanosheets enable SPM to effectively mitigate excessive ROS and reduce oxidative stress, thereby preventing radiation dermatitis caused by oxidative damage. Biosafety assessments indicated good biocompatibility of the composite hydrogel, suggesting SPM's practicality and potential as an external dressing for skin radiation protection.

Abstract
Bioengineered composite hydrogel platforms made of a supramolecular coassembly have recently garnered significant attention as promising biomaterial-based healthcare therapeutics. The mechanical durability of amyloids, in conjunction with the structured charged framework rendered by biologically abundant key ECM component glycosaminoglycan, enables us to design minimalistic customized biomaterial suited for stimuli responsive therapy. In this study, by harnessing the heparin sulfate-binding aptitude of amyloid fibrils, we have constructed a pH-responsive extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking hydrogel matrix. This effective biocompatible platform comprising heparin sulfate-amyloid coassembled hydrogel embedded with polyphenol functionalized silver nanoparticles not only provide a native skin ECM-like conductive environment but also provide wound-microenvironment responsive on-demand superior antibacterial efficacy for effective diabetic wound healing. Interestingly, both the cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties of this bioinspired matrix can be fine-tuned by controlling the mutual ratio of heparin sulfate-amyloid and incubated silver nanoparticle components, respectively. The designed biomaterial platform exhibits notable effectiveness in the treatment of chronic hyperglycemic wounds infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria, because of the integration of pH-responsive release characteristics of the incubated functionalized AgNP and the antibacterial amyloid fibrils. In addition to this, the aforementioned assemblage shows exceptional hemocompatibility with significant antibiofilm and antioxidant characteristics. Histological evidence of the incised skin tissue sections indicates that the fabricated composite hydrogel is also effective in controlling pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and TNFα expressions at the wound vicinity with significant upregulation of angiogenesis markers like CD31 and α-SMA.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important for the occurrence of signaling molecules and maintenance of microenvironment within the extracellular matrix (ECM) in living tissues. GAGs and GAG-based biomaterial approaches have been widely explored to promote in situ tissue regeneration and repair by regulating the wound microenvironment, accelerating re-epithelialization, and controlling ECM remodeling. However, most approaches remain unacceptable for clinical applications. To improve insights into material design and clinical translational applications, this review highlights the innate roles and bioactive mechanisms of native GAGs during in situ wound healing and presents common GAG-based biomaterials and the adaptability of application scenarios in facilitating wound healing. Furthermore, challenges before the widespread commercialization of GAG-based biomaterials are shared, to ensure that future designed and constructed GAG-based artificial biomaterials are more likely to recapitulate the unique and tissue-specific profile of native GAG expression in human tissues. This review provides a more explicit and clear selection guide for researchers designing biomimetic materials, which will resemble or exceed their natural counterparts in certain functions, thereby suiting for specific environments or therapeutic goals.

[PMID: 38142066 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Developing naturally-derived wound dressing materials with intrinsic therapeutic effects is desirable for the clinical applications. Recently, guanosine-based supramolecular G-quadruplex (G4) hydrogel exhibited great potential in preparing biological materials due to its simple fabrication method and responsive gel networks. However, the weak mechanical properties and the consequent burst release of bioactive molecules restrict its clinical applications. Herein, we found that konjac glucomannan (KGM) with immunoregulatory effect did not affect the self-assembly of G-quadruplexes and thus effectively enhancing the mechanical properties of G4 hydrogel. Aloin, as a model drug, was in situ loaded into gel networks, finally obtaining the G4/Aloin-KGM hydrogel. This hydrogel exhibited porous morphology, swelling ability and hemostatic capability. Boronate bonds in G4 networks and aloin collectively endowed the hydrogel with excellent antioxidant performance. Meanwhile, aloin also provided outstanding in vitro and in vivo bactericidal ability. The wounds treated with this biocompatible hydrogel demonstrated faster regeneration of epithelial and dermal tissues, and the whole wound healing stages were accelerated by promoting collagen deposition, facilitating macrophage polarization towards M2 phenotype, down-regulating the expression level of IL-6, and up-regulating the expression level of IL-10, CD31 and α-SMA.

Hydrophobic Tetracycline Immobilized in Fibrous Hyaluronan Regulates Adhesive Collagen-Based Hydrogel Stability for Infected Wound Healing. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2303414. [PMID: 37431206 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202303414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Collagen-based hydrogels have a significant impact on wound healing, but they suffer from structural instability and bacterial invasion in infected wounds. Here, electrospun nanofibers of esterified hyaluronan (HA-Bn/T) are developed to immobilize the hydrophobic antibacterial drug tetracycline by π-π stacking interaction. Dopamine-modified hyaluronan and HA-Bn/T are employed simultaneously to stabilize the structure of collagen-based hydrogel by chemically interweaving the collagen fibril network and decreasing the rate of collagen degradation. This renders it injectable for in situ gelation, with suitable skin adhesion properties and long-lasting drug release capability. This hybridized interwoven hydrogel promotes the proliferation and migration of L929 cells and vascularization in vitro. It presents satisfactory antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The structure also retains the functional protein environment provided by collagen fiber, inhibits the bacterial environment of infected wounds, and modulates local inflammation, resulting in neovascularization, collagen deposition, and partial follicular regeneration. This strategy offers a new solution for infected wound healing.
