Dextran-tryamine hydrogel maintains position and integrity under simulated loading in a human cadaver knee model. OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2024; 6:100492. [PMID: 38946794 PMCID: PMC11211881 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2024.100492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This dextran-tyramine hydrogel is a novel cartilage repair technique, filling focal cartilage defects to provide a cell-free scaffold for subsequent cartilage repair. We aim to asses this techniques' operative feasibility in the knee joint and its ability to maintain position and integrity under expected loading conditions. Method Seven fresh-frozen human cadaver legs (age range 55-88) were used to create 30 cartilage defects on the medial and lateral femoral condyles dependent of cartilage quality, starting with 1.0 cm2; augmenting to 1.5 cm2 and eventually 2.0 cm2. The defects were operatively filled with the injectable hydrogel scaffold. The knees were subsequently placed on a continues passive motion machine for 30 min of non-load bearing movement, mimicking post-operative rehabilitation. High resolution digital photographs documented the hydrogel scaffold after placement and directly after movement. Three independent observers blinded for the moment compared the photographs on outline attachment, area coverage and hydrogel integrity. Results The operative procedure was uncomplicated in all defects, application of the hydrogel was straightforward and comparable to common cartilage repair techniques. No macroscopic iatrogenic damage was observed. The hydrogel scaffold remained predominately unchanged after non-load bearing movement. Outline attachment, area coverage and hydrogel integrity were unaffected in 87%, 93% and 83% of defects respectively. Larger defects appear to be more affected than smaller defects, although not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion The results of this study show operative feasibility of this cell-free hydrogel scaffold for chondral defects of the knee joint. Sustained outline attachment, area coverage and hydrogel integrity were observed after non-load bearing knee movement.

Enzymatic co-crosslinking of star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) tyramine and hyaluronic acid tyramine conjugates provides elastic biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogels. Bioact Mater 2023; 20:53-63. [PMID: 35633871 PMCID: PMC9127275 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.05.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
A combination of the viscoelastic properties of hyaluronic acid (HA) and the elastic properties of star shaped 8-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (8-arm PEG) was used to design in-situ forming hydrogels. Hydrogels were prepared by the enzymatic crosslinking of a partially tyramine modified 8-arm PEG and a tyramine conjugated HA using horseradish peroxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogels of the homopolymer conjugates and mixtures thereof were rapidly formed within seconds under physiological conditions at low polymer and enzyme concentrations. Elastic hydrogels with high gel content (≥95%) and high storage moduli (up to 22.4 kPa) were obtained. An in vitro study in the presence of hyaluronidase (100 U/mL) revealed that with increasing PEG content the degradation time of the hybrid hydrogels increased up to several weeks, whereas hydrogels composed of only hyaluronic acid degraded within 2 weeks. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) incorporated in the hybrid hydrogels remained viable as shown by a PrestoBlue and a live-dead assay, confirming the biocompatibility of the constructs. The production of an extracellular matrix by re-differentiation of encapsulated human chondrocytes was followed over a period of 28 days. Gene expression indicated that these highly elastic hydrogels induced an enhanced production of collagen type II. At low PEG-TA/HA-TA ratios a higher expression of SOX 9 and ACAN was observed. These results indicate that by modulating the ratio of PEG/HA, injectable hydrogels can be prepared applicable as scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
The innate cartilage extracellular matrix is avascular and plays a vital role in innate chondrocytes. Recapping the crucial components of the extracellular matrix in engineered organs via polymeric gels and bioinspired approaches is promising for improving the regenerative aptitude of encapsulated cartilage/chondrocytes. Conventional gel formation techniques for polymeric materials rely on employing oxidative crosslinking, which is constrained in this avascular environment. Further, poor mechanical properties limit the practical applications of polymeric gels and reduce their therapeutic efficacy. Herein, the purpose of this study was to develop a bioadhesive gel possessing dual crosslinking for engineering cartilage. Tyramine (TYR) was first chemically conjugated to the alginate (ALG) backbone to form an ALG-TYR precursor, followed by the addition of calcium peroxide (CaO2); calcium ions of CaO2 physically crosslink with ALG, and oxygen atoms of CaO2 chemically crosslink TYR with tyrosinase, thus enabling dual/enhanced crosslinking and possessing injectability. The ALG-TYR/tyrosinase/CaO2 gel system was chemically, mechanically, cellularly, and microscopically characterized. The gel system developed herein was biocompatible and showed augmented mechanical strength. The results showed, for the first time, that CaO2 supplementation preserved cell viability and enhanced the crosslinking ability, bioadhesion, mechanical strength, chondrogenesis, and stability for cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been linked to a variety of severe side effects, and the bioavailability of current chemotherapeutic agents is generally low, which decreases their effectiveness. Therefore, there is an ongoing effort to develop drug delivery systems to increase the bioavailability of these agents and minimize their side effects. Among these, intratumoral injections using in situ-forming hydrogels can improve drugs' bioavailability and minimize drugs' accumulation in non-target organs or tissues. This review describes different types of injectable in situ-forming hydrogels and their intratumoral injection for cancer treatment, after which we discuss the antitumor effects of intratumoral injection of drug-loaded hydrogels. This review concludes with perspectives on the future applicability of, and challenges for, the adoption of this drug delivery technology.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have been employed extensively as versatile materials for cartilage regeneration due to their excellent biocompatibility, tunable structure, and ability to accommodate bioactive factors, as well as their ability to be locally delivered via minimally invasive injection to fill irregular defects. More recently, in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed that processing these materials to produce cell-laden microgels can enhance cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and boost nutrient and metabolite exchange. Moreover, these studies have demonstrated gene expression profiles and matrix regeneration that are superior compared to conventional injectable bulk hydrogels. As cell-laden microgels and their application in cartilage repair are moving closer to clinical translation, this review aims to present an overview of the recent developments in this field. Here we focus on the currently used biomaterials and crosslinking strategies, the innovative fabrication techniques being used for the production of microgels, the cell sources used, the signals used for induction of chondrogenic differentiation and the resultant biological responses, and the ability to create three-dimensional, functional cartilage tissues. In addition, this review also covers the current clinical approaches for repairing cartilage as well as specific challenges faced when attempting the regeneration of damaged cartilage tissue. New findings related to the macroporous nature of the structures formed by the assembled microgel building blocks and the novel use of microgels in 3D printing for cartilage tissue engineering are also highlighted. Finally, we outline the challenges and future opportunities for employing cell-laden microgels in clinical applications.

Abstract
The ideal scaffold for cartilage regeneration is expected to provide adequate mechanical strength, controlled degradability, adhesion, and integration with the surrounding native tissue. As it does this, it mimics natural ECMs functions, which allow for nutrient diffusion and promote cell survival and differentiation. Injectable hydrogels based on tyramine (TA)-functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA) and dextran (Dex) are a promising approach for cartilage regeneration. The properties of the hydrogels used in this study were adjusted by varying polymer concentrations and ratios. To investigate the changes in properties and their effects on cellular behavior and cartilage matrix formation, different ratios of HA- and dextran-based hybrid hydrogels at both 5 and 10% w/v were prepared using a designed mold to control generation. The results indicated that the incorporation of chondrocytes in the hydrogels decreased their mechanical properties. However, rheological and compression analysis indicated that 5% w/v hydrogels laden with cells exhibit a significant increase in mechanical properties after 21 days when the constructs are cultured in a chondrogenic differentiation medium. Moreover, compared to the 10% w/v hydrogels, the 5% w/v hybrid hydrogels increased the deposition of the cartilage matrix, especially in constructs with a higher Dex-TA content. These results indicated that 5% w/v hybrid hydrogels with 25% HA-TA and 75% Dex-TA have a high potential as injectable scaffolds for cartilage tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of osteochondral defects (OCDs) constitutes a major problem for orthopaedic surgeons. The altered mechanics and the cell types, with associated soluble factors derived from the exposed subchondral bone, are likely responsible for the mechanically and structurally inferior articular cartilage subsequently obtained as a repair tissue. There is therefore an unmet clinical need for bioresponsive biomaterials that allow cell delivery, reduce cell infiltration from the bone marrow, and support chondrogenesis in the presence of joint mechanical loading. PURPOSE To develop a cell-laden injectable biomaterial, with bioadhesive properties, low cell invasion, and good mechanoresilience, in which simulated joint loading could induce tissue maturation through the production and activation of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells were encapsulated in tyramine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-Tyr) hydrogels, with crosslinking initiated by the addition of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 0.3-2 mM). Cytocompatibility and biomechanical and adhesive properties were analyzed by live/dead staining, rheology, and push-out test, respectively. For multiaxial loading, cell-laden hydrogels were subjected to 10% compression superimposed onto a 0.5-N preload and shear loading (±25°) at 1 Hz for 1 hour per day and 5 times a week for 4 weeks. TGF-β1 production and activation were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The viscoelastic properties of the cell-laden HA-Tyr hydrogels, as crosslinked with different ratios of HRP and H2O2, were demonstrated for a range of cell densities and HRP/H2O2 concentrations. In the absence of serum supplementation, cell invasion into HA-Tyr hydrogels was minimal to absent. The bonding strength of HA-Tyr to articular cartilage compared favorably with clinically used fibrin gel. CONCLUSION HA-Tyr hydrogels can be mechanically conditioned to induce activation of endogenous TGF-b1 produced by the embedded cells. HA-Tyr hydrogels function as cell carriers supporting biomechanically induced production and activation of TGF-β1 and as bioadhesive materials with low cell invasion, suggesting that they hold promise as a novel biomaterial for OCD repair strategies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Leveraging physiological joint mechanics to support chondrogenic graft maturation in an optimized mechanosensitive hydrogel in the absence of exogenous growth factors is of highest interest for OCD repair.

Abstract
Injectable, in situ-forming hydrogels can improve cell delivery in tissue engineering applications by facilitating minimally invasive delivery to irregular defect sites and improving cell retention and survival. Tissues targeted for cell delivery often undergo diverse mechanical loading including high stress, high strain, and repetitive loading conditions. This review focuses on the development of hydrogel systems that meet the requirements of mechanical resiliency, cytocompatibility, and injectability for such applications. First, we describe the most important design considerations for maintaining the viability and function of encapsulated cells, for reproducing the target tissue morphology, and for achieving degradation profiles that facilitate tissue replacement. Models describing the relationships between hydrogel structure and mechanical properties are described, focusing on design principles necessary for producing mechanically resilient hydrogels. The advantages and limitations of current strategies for preparing cytocompatible, injectable, and mechanically resilient hydrogels are reviewed, including double networks, nanocomposites, and high molecular weight amphiphilic copolymer networks. Finally, challenges and opportunities are outlined to guide future research in this developing field.

Abstract
Despite the development of hydrogels with high mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion between these materials and biological surfaces significantly limits their use in the biomedical field. By controlling toughening processes, we designed a composite double-network hydrogel with ∼90% water content, which creates a dissipative interface and robustly adheres to soft tissues such as cartilage and meniscus. A double-network matrix composed of covalently cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate and ionically cross-linked alginate was reinforced with nanofibrillated cellulose. No tissue surface modification was needed to obtain high adhesion properties of the developed hydrogel. Instead, mechanistic principles were used to control interfacial crack propagation. Comparing to commercial tissue adhesives, the integration of the dissipative polymeric network on the soft tissue surfaces allowed a significant increase in the adhesion strength, such as ∼130 kPa for articular cartilage. Our findings highlight the significant role of controlling hydrogel structure and dissipation processes for toughening the interface. This research provides a promising path to the development of highly adhesive hydrogels for tissues repair.

Abstract
Here we define hydrogels crosslinked by weak bonds as physical hydrogels. They possess unique features including reversible bonding, shear thinning and stimuli-responsiveness. Unlike covalently crosslinked hydrogels, physical hydrogels do not require triggers to initiate chemical reactions for in situ gelation. The drug can be fully loaded in a pre-formed hydrogel for delivery with minimal cargo leakage during injection. These benefits make physical hydrogels useful as delivery vehicles for applications in biomedical engineering. This review focuses on recent advances of physical hydrogels crosslinked by weak bonds: hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, host-guest chemistry, hydrophobic interactions, coordination bonds and π-π stacking interactions. Understanding the principles and the state of the art of gels with these dynamic bonds may give rise to breakthroughs in many biomedical research areas including drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this study, an enzyme catalyzed in situ forming hydrogel based on tyramine conjugated high methoxyl content gum tragacanth (TA-HMGT) was prepared and characterized. TA-HMGT was synthesized via heterogeneous ammonolysis of methyl ester groups of HMGT. Then, the hydrogel was prepared via horseradish peroxidase catalyzed coupling reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogel properties, such as gelation time, swelling/degradation behavior and rheological properties could be adjusted by tuning the gelation parameters and extent of tyramine conjugation. This system was a soft elastic hydrogel with appropriate biocompatibility. The fast gelation of the hydrogel is desirable for clinical applications. Also, in vitro bovine serum albumin release from the synthesized hydrogel showed good release profile with limited burst release.
