Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of tissue engineering. More particularly, relates to a bone tissue engineering scaffold material with high bioactivity, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The bone defect is difficult to repair by self, which causes great pain to the patient. Bone defect repair is a troublesome problem which troubles clinical treatment, the number of patients is large worldwide, and the incidence of bone defects is on a growing trend along with the aging of society. The clinical bone defect repair mainly adopts autologous bone graft, allogeneic bone graft and artificial bone prosthesis. Autologous cartilage transplantation has greatly limited the clinical application of this method due to the limited source of cartilage tissue. The bone regeneration and self-repair capability is extremely limited, while the existing artificial bone prosthesis has the problems of insufficient bone repair effect, poor biological safety, strong immune stimulation, material shortage or complex treatment, high cost in manufacturing and use, poor operability and the like. Therefore, no perfect method for completely solving the repair problem of damaged tissues and organs exists clinically so far.
With the rapid development of bone tissue engineering in recent years, the selection and preparation of scaffold materials become hot spots for research, and the ideal scaffold material for bone tissue engineering should satisfy the following points: 1. the biocompatibility is high: besides meeting the general requirements of biological materials such as no toxicity, no aberration and the like, the degradation product also has the advantages of no toxic action on cells, no inflammatory reaction, contribution to adhesion and proliferation of seed cells and promotion on growth and differentiation of the cells; 2. the biodegradability is suitable for: the scaffold material has a degradation function, and the growth rate of bone tissue cells is adapted to the degradation rate; 3. has a suitable three-dimensional porous structure: the scaffold material has a three-dimensional structure, corresponding porosity and high specific surface area, can provide an optimal microenvironment for adhesion, proliferation, growth and function exertion of osteoblasts, and can also provide a space and a scaffold for formation of new bone tissues; 4. plasticity and suitable mechanical strength: the scaffold material has good plasticity and proper mechanical strength, and can support the new tissue until the new tissue has proper mechanical properties; 5. good scaffold-cell interface: the material should provide a good scaffold-cell interface, facilitating cell adhesion. The hydrogel is a three-dimensional cross-linked hydrophilic polymer material, can absorb and retain certain water, but is insoluble in water, has good biocompatibility, and is one of the hot spots of current material science research. The application fields of the current hydrogel comprise biology, medicine, chemical industry, food and the like. The hydrogel structure and the extracellular matrix are similar to each other, so that necessary three-dimensional space and mechanical support are provided for the reconstruction of cells and tissues, and the function of simulating the extracellular matrix is achieved; has good histocompatibility, proper pore size and porosity, and is beneficial to the proliferation and adhesion of chondrocytes, the infiltration of nutrient substances and the discharge of cell metabolites; has good biological activity and is widely used for the research of bone defect regeneration.
Methacrylic anhydride modified gelatin (GelMA) is the product of reacting gelatin with methacrylic anhydride. The GelMA hydrogel is a polymer derived from gelatin and methacrylic acid, has stable chemical properties, proper expansibility, good biocompatibility, good flexibility and the like, and is widely used in the fields of tissue engineering such as wound repair, artificial tissue, bone repair and the like. However, the GelMA hydrogel alone has the disadvantages of poor mechanical properties, especially insufficient elastic modulus at the bone repair level to support the required mechanical strength, and the GelMA hydrogel alone does not have corresponding biological functionality, such as antibacterial property, tissue regeneration promotion, bone regeneration, etc., and various materials are usually required to be added so as to achieve the corresponding functions better. It should be noted that the preparation process, molecular weight, concentration and other conditions of different GelMA hydrogels have an effect on the degradation and mechanical properties. Many composite hydrogel materials promoting relevant performances are developed at present, but the main problems are difficult to realize clinically and the corresponding effects are poor.
The main components of natural bone are collagen fiber and hydroxyapatite nanocrystal, and since the self bone tissue has limited material, the granular bone is mainly derived from animal bone tissue (bovine bone, pig bone, coral bone, fish bone, etc.) or hydroxyapatite, calcium silicate, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, etc. with similar components. However, the particle bone has the inherent defect of insufficient space stability (loose structure and easy dispersion by blood or flushing fluid) in the application process (Sunzhi, Xiaoyumei, Van hong Song, Zhang xing, influence of hydroxyapatite on the preparation and performance of calcium alginate hydrogel [ J ] the report on inorganic materials, 2010,25(10): 1087-. The research direction has thus focused on the study of osteoinductive hydrogels, which are expected to impart better steric stability to the particulate bone by means of hydrogel loading. The inventor subject group previously disclosed a composite hydrogel based on black phosphorus and gelatin and application thereof in bone tissue engineering in chinese patent document CN 108653809a, wherein black phosphorus and gelatin modified by double bond are used as bone tissue engineering scaffold materials, and the composition and proportion of black phosphorus and gelatin modified by double bond are adjusted to ensure that the hydrogel scaffold materials have good mechanical properties, mechanical properties and biological properties. The development of the tissue engineering scaffold with high biological activity and high cell affinity is the main development direction of the biological materials in the future.
The prior art is mostly limited to simple loading of hydrogel and granular bone, and has poor compatibility of an organic phase and a granular bone interface; insufficient osteoinductive properties; the adhesion rate of bone cells in various scaffolds is poor; the proliferation effect of the adhered bone cells is poor; slow speed of cell growth, etc.

Comparative example
The preparation process is otherwise identical to that of example 1, with the only difference that: the gelatin used was not modified but 15% gelatin was used directly.
