Description

Gel type artificial cornea and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to a gel type artificial cornea and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Corneal blindness is the second major blindness next to cataracts. The only opportunity for the cornea blind patient to recover is cornea transplantation, which refers to the replacement of the diseased self cornea tissue with foreign material, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering the cornea disease of the patient or controlling the cornea disease.
The cornea mainly includes allogeneic cornea, tissue engineering cornea, and synthetic cornea depending on the donor source. Although allogeneic cornea is the optimal cornea implant, the number of cornea donations does not meet the implant requirements; although the tissue engineering cornea prepared by decellularization can relieve the shortage of cornea donors, the cornea is derived from heterogeneous materials, so that the risks of immune rejection and virus infection exist, the attention of researchers to artificial cornea (artificial cornea for short) is gradually improved, the artificial cornea prepared at present, which takes polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as a basic material, is suitable for cornea blind patients, but the mechanical property of the cornea implant product is low, and the cornea implant product is extremely easy to damage in the transplanting process and the later use process, so that the applicability of the artificial cornea is poor.
The hydrogel is a polymer with a three-dimensional network structure, the three-dimensional network structure of the hydrogel is similar to that of a natural extracellular matrix, and the hydrogel can provide adhesion and living environment for the growth of cells. However, the mechanical strength of the cornea with hydrogel as a raw material is far lower than that of a heterogeneous cornea; in addition, the gel cornea is often added with a cross-linking agent in the preparation process, and the residual cross-linking agent can damage the microenvironment of the ocular surface, so that postoperative recovery is affected.
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, there is a great need to develop a gel type artificial cornea with excellent mechanical properties and good safety.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention develops a gel type artificial cornea and a preparation method thereof aiming at the problems in the prior art.
The first aspect of the invention provides a gel-type artificial cornea, which comprises, by weight, 0.8-2.5 parts of cornea collagen, 8-15 parts of polyethylene glycol derivatives and 5-15 parts of water-soluble metal salts; preferably, in the preparation process of the gel type artificial cornea, cornea collagen and polyethylene glycol derivatives are mixed first, and then water-soluble metal salt is added.
Optionally, the cornea collagen is 1.2-2 parts by weight, the polyethylene glycol derivative is 10-13 parts by weight, and the water-soluble metal salt is 7-10 parts by weight.
The inventor has unexpectedly found that after polyethylene glycol derivatives, water-soluble metal salts and cornea collagen are mixed according to a specific proportion, polymer gel with a double-layer network interpenetrating three-dimensional network structure is formed among all substances through the intermolecular and intermolecular attractive force, and cornea collagen with specific content is easy to be matched with the double-layer network to produce interpenetration, so that the three-dimensional network structure of the whole gel artificial cornea is enriched, and the mechanical properties (such as tensile strength and elastic modulus) of the gel artificial cornea are improved. The sequence of firstly mixing cornea collagen with polyethylene glycol derivatives and then adding water-soluble metal salt can help to make the three-dimensional network structure more stable and uniformly distributed in the gel type artificial cornea, thereby being beneficial to further improving the mechanical property of the gel type artificial cornea. In addition, the three-dimensional porous structure is similar to the structure of extracellular matrix in the tissue engineering cornea, can provide a certain space for cell proliferation, and is beneficial to the practical application of the gel artificial cornea in the later stage. Furthermore, the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention does not detect antigen components such as alpha-Gal, and the like, which shows that the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention has no immune rejection phenomenon and can be well adapted to a receptor. It should be noted that in the preparation process of the gel type artificial cornea, no cross-linking agent (such as 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), carbodiimide (EDC), N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and the like) participates, so that the phenomenon that the cross-linking agent damages the ocular surface microenvironment is effectively avoided, and the selected raw materials are helpful for reducing the risk of postoperative viral infection.
Optionally, the polyethylene glycol derivative comprises polyethylene glycol acetate and/or polyethylene glycol dimethylsiloxane.
Optionally, the metal ion in the water-soluble metal salt is selected from one or more of cupric ion, ferric ion and divalent calcium ion; preferably, the water-soluble metal salt is selected from one or more of copper sulfate, copper chloride, calcium chloride and ferric chloride.
Optionally, the preparation step of the cornea collagen comprises:
(1) Acquiring an eyeball without cornea abnormality;
(2) Cutting the eyeball, and only keeping the cornea as an initial cornea;
(3) Mixing the acid solution with the initial cornea to obtain a solution A; preferably, the mass ratio of the acid solution to the initial cornea is 1:10-25;
(4) And dialyzing the solution A in a buffer solution, and freeze-drying to obtain cornea collagen.
Optionally, in the step (3), mixing the acid solution and the initial cornea for 24-72 hours at a temperature of 4-30 ℃ to obtain a solution A;
in the step (4), the solution A is transferred to a 3.5-12kDa dialysis bag for dialysis for 10-24 hours, the residual solution B in the dialysis bag is collected, and the residual solution B is freeze-dried for 5-15 hours at the temperature of minus 55-minus 30 ℃.
Optionally, the acid solution is selected from one or more of hydrochloric acid solution, acetic acid solution and sulfuric acid solution; the buffer is selected from one or more of 2- (N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid buffer (MES), phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid buffer (HEPES).
The invention also provides a preparation method of the gel type artificial cornea, which comprises the following steps:
s1, dissolving cornea collagen in water to obtain cornea collagen solution;
s2, dissolving a polyethylene glycol derivative in water to obtain a polyethylene glycol derivative solution;
s3, mixing the cornea collagen solution with a polyethylene glycol derivative solution to obtain a solution C;
s4, adding water-soluble metal salt into the solution C, stirring for 0.5-1 h, shaping, washing with water, and sterilizing to obtain the gel type artificial cornea.
Optionally, in step S3, the corneal collagen solution and the polyethylene glycol derivative solution are mixed for 3-6 hours at the temperature of 2-15 ℃ to obtain a solution C.
Optionally, in step S4, the sterilization mode includes ethylene oxide sterilization, electron beam sterilization or radiation sterilization.
In summary, the invention has at least one of the following advantages:
after the polyethylene glycol derivative, the water-soluble metal salt and the cornea collagen are mixed according to a specific proportion and a specific sequence, the interaction of the polyethylene glycol derivative, the water-soluble metal salt and the cornea collagen can form a stable network structure which is uniformly penetrated with each other, thereby being beneficial to remarkably improving the mechanical property of the gel-type artificial cornea; the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention is not easy to generate immune reaction in a receptor; no cross-linking agent is added in the whole preparation process of the gel type artificial cornea, so that the condition that the cross-linking agent damages the ocular surface microenvironment is effectively reduced.

Performance test
Experimental example 1 mechanical Property test
The experimental method comprises the following steps: the gel type artificial corneas and the like prepared in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 7 were placed over a test piece of a transparent plastic mold having a length of 7mm and a width of 5mm, and the test piece was clamped in a jig on an electric 3220-AT type biomechanical testing machine (BOSE company, U.S.A.), and a tensile failure test was performed. The specific test procedure is as follows: humidifying by an air humidifier at normal temperature to simulate a tissue environment, loading with a load of 0.06mm/s, and uniaxially stretching until the test piece breaks; data were collected by WinTest software at a frequency of 0.02 Hz. The preparation method of the similar cornea product comprises the following steps:
(1) Referring to example 2-1 in CN113773379a, a lyophilized preparation was prepared, and the prepared lyophilized preparation was dissolved in MES medium having a concentration of 0.5mol/L and ph6.5, such that the concentration of pegylated collagen-like protein in the MES medium was 15g/mL, to obtain a solution;
(2) Mixing the dissolution solution and the MPC mother solution according to a mass ratio of 4:1 to obtain a mixed solution 1; mixing the mixed solution 1 and DMTMM mother solution according to a mass ratio of 7:1 to obtain a mixed solution 2; wherein, the formula of MPC mother liquor is: 30% 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (w/v, g/mL), 10% polyethylene glycol (diol) diacrylate) (v/v), 1% tetramethyl ethylenediamine (v/v), 0.5mol/L solvent MES medium pH 6.5; the formula of the DMTMM mother liquor is as follows: 10%4- (4, 6-dimethoxy-triazin-2-yl) -4-methylmorpholine hydrochloride (w/v, g/mL), 15% ammonium persulfate (w/v, g/mL) and 0.5mol/L MES medium pH 6.5.
(3) Pouring the mixed solution 2 into a cornea mould, and standing for 12 hours at 25 ℃ to obtain a crude cornea product; adding the crude cornea product into PBS (phosphate buffer solution) culture medium with the concentration of 0.1mol/L and the pH of 6.5, and soaking at the temperature of 4 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain the bionic cornea, namely the similar cornea product, which is hereinafter referred to as similar product. The tensile strength and elastic modulus test results of each gel-type artificial cornea are shown in Table 1, wherein the relevant data of the natural cornea are all obtained from literature values.
TABLE 1 tensile Strength and elastic modulus of gel-type artificial corneas
According to the results shown in Table 1, the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention has the same order of magnitude as the natural cornea in terms of tensile strength, is relatively similar to the natural cornea, can meet the operation requirements in clinical operations, and has elastic modulus even better than that of the natural cornea, so that the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention accords with the use standard, and has mechanical properties equivalent to or even superior to that of the natural cornea. And as can be seen from fig. 1 a and b, the surface appearance of the gel type artificial cornea prepared in example 1 of the present invention is close to the surface of the natural cornea.
It can also be known from the data in table 1: the amounts of collagen, polyethylene glycol derivative and water-soluble metal salt added to the cornea have an effect on the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the gel-type artificial cornea. And, as is clear from the data of comparative examples 1 and 4 and 5, the gel-type artificial cornea prepared by the method of the present invention has poor properties when polyethylene glycol derivatives or water-soluble metal salts are not added during the preparation of the gel-type artificial cornea.
In addition, the preparation process has great influence on the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the gel type artificial cornea, and particularly has great influence on the final performance of the gel type artificial cornea when the addition sequence of the water-soluble metal salt is changed. Compared with the example 1, when the water-soluble metal salt is added first and then the polyethylene glycol acetate solution is added in the comparative example 7, the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the prepared gel type artificial cornea are greatly reduced, and the gel type artificial cornea is easy to damage and is unfavorable for later application.
It is worth mentioning that the transmittance of the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention can reach more than 90% (the transmittance is measured by LS117 densitometer, the document value of the transmittance of the natural cornea is 91.6+/-2.6%), which indicates that the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention can provide better vision recovery effect in the later actual use process.
The gel artificial cornea prepared by the invention has great advantages in terms of tensile strength and elastic modulus, probably because the mutual coordination of substances with specific proportions in the formula and the specific preparation method can lead the product to form a relatively stable network structure, and the network structure is not easy to break under the action of external force due to the mutual traction of molecular structures, thereby being beneficial to improving the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the gel artificial cornea.
In order to verify the above presumption, the present invention performs electron microscope scanning on a cross section of the gel type artificial cornea prepared in example 1, and the result is shown in fig. 2. As is apparent from fig. 2, the gel-type artificial cornea prepared by the method of the invention has a three-dimensional network structure with complete and stable morphology, and the invention is also proved to have a network structure which is uniformly penetrated by the mutual coordination among cornea collagen, polyethylene glycol derivatives and water-soluble metal salts, so that the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the whole gel-type artificial cornea are improved, and a certain space can be provided for cell proliferation by a three-dimensional porous structure.
Experimental example 2 detection of antigen component
In the experiment, the components of the gel type artificial cornea prepared in the examples 1-4 are detected by a Western blot detection method, and the detection result shows that: the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention retains the original collagen component of the natural cornea, and antigen components such as alpha-Gal and the like are not detected in the collagen component in the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the embodiments 1-4, so that the gel type artificial cornea prepared by the invention has lower biological immunogenicity, and is not easy to cause irritation to a receptor in the later use process. Taking the detection result of example 1 as an example, the collagen of the gel type artificial cornea prepared in example 1 comprises type I collagen (79.66%), type VI collagen (18.58%), type V collagen (1.03%), type XII collagen (0.67%) and type XI collagen (0.06%), and antigen components such as α -Gal are not detected, so that it is demonstrated that the gel type artificial cornea retains the original collagen components of biological cornea, has low biological immunogenicity, and can be well adapted to the receptor in subsequent use.
Summarizing: after the polyethylene glycol derivative, the water-soluble metal salt and the cornea collagen are mixed according to a specific proportion and a specific sequence, the interaction of the components is favorable for forming a network structure which is mutually and uniformly penetrated, the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the gel type artificial cornea are obviously improved, the prepared gel type artificial cornea does not contain antigen components, and immune rejection reaction is not easy to cause after the gel type artificial cornea is transplanted into a receptor. The gel type artificial cornea is prepared by using the preparation method, and the gel type artificial cornea is prepared by using the preparation method.
