Description

Fibrin gel independent of thrombin and inspired by mussel protein, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a strong-adhesion fibrin gel adhesive for accidental wounds and surgical bleeding, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Uncontrolled bleeding, which occurs after trauma or during surgery, is a major cause of death worldwide. Uncontrolled bleeding often leads to poor results and increased mortality. Controlling bleeding volume is an important measure to reduce perioperative complications and mortality and improve patient prognosis.
Tissue adhesives have been developed as part of surgical instruments and are widely used as sealants and hemostatic agents to aid in controlling bleeding during surgical procedures or wounds. Fibrin glues and cyanoacrylates are two very representative types of tissue adhesives that are used clinically. Fibrin glue is concentrated fibrinogen, fibrin crosslinking is carried out under the catalysis of thrombin, fibrin clots are formed in situ at bleeding parts, bleeding is blocked, and the fibrin glue has better biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, fibrin glue has a low adhesive strength, and the adhesive strength on wet tissues is further limited, so that the fibrin glue is easily washed away by blood flow under the influence of continuous tissue tension and blood, and the hemostatic performance of the fibrin glue is not exerted. In addition, when fibrin glue is used, thrombin solution can enter the blood circulation through the broken vascular gap with a high risk of thrombus formation. Cyanoacrylate adhesives provide greater tissue adhesion, but such adhesives suffer from severe tissue irritation and inflammation due to the release of heat and degradation to toxic substances (e.g., cyanoacetate, formaldehyde, etc.) through exothermic reactions, and are difficult to remove, which limits their use in wound repair. Therefore, development of a tissue adhesive having excellent wet adhesion and biocompatibility is urgently required.
Fibrin glue is a widely used hemostatic agent in surgery to form fibrin clots at the bleeding site by mimicking the coagulation cascade. In studies of the fibrin polymerization process, it was found that thrombin triggers the release of the fibrinopeptides from the central region of fibrinogen, thereby exposing the functional amino acid sequence, which is the binding site, known as the fibrinogen "knot". The "knot" carries a positive charge, whereas the "pore" structure at both ends of fibrinogen has a strong negative charge, and the "pore" and "knot" specifically bind through strong electrostatic and hydrogen bonding, which specific binding is known as "pore-knot interactions", which are key steps in initiating fibrin polymerization, and further cross-link to form fibrin clots. The study of the "pore-junction interactions" critical to self-assembled cross-linking of fibrin found that the simulated short peptide sequences of fibrinogen "junctions" also specifically bound to the "pores" of fibrinogen, by which the study initiated fibrin polymerization (I.Litvinov,O.V.Gorkun,S.F.Owen,H.Shuman,and J.W.Weisel.Polymerization of fibrin:specificity,strength,and stability of knob-hole interactions studied at the single-molecule level.Blood.2005.106(9)). prior art has devised an engineered fibrin matrix with which therapeutic proteins were polymerized in a fibrin network structure without reliance on thrombin, through this delivery platform of fibrin, achieving a sustained infusion therapeutic function of therapeutic proteins (A.S.Soon, S.E.Stabenfeldt, W.E.Brown, and t.h. barker. Biomaterials.2010.31 (7)). Furthermore, there is a study using "junction" mimetic peptides to design peptide-polyethylene glycol polymers by "pore-junction interactions", incorporating polyethylene glycol (A.S.Soon,C.S.Lee,and T.H.Barker.Modulation of fibrin matrix properties via knob:hole affinity interactions using peptide-PEG conjugates.Biomaterials.2011.32(19)). in fibrin network structure without relying on thrombin this study suggests the possibility that fibrin-polyethylene glycol hybrid hydrogels having utility in tissue engineering can be produced by designing mimetic peptide-polyethylene glycol polymers, but this study does not mention the application of fibrin-polyethylene glycol hybrid hydrogels to the hemostatic field. Huang et al constructed fibrinogen/hyaluronic acid hydrogel for 3D cell engineering in 2017, completed self-assembly crosslinking based on the "pore-junction interaction" between fibrinogen and "junction" mimetic peptide grafted hyaluronic acid, and formed hydrogel (S.Huang,C.Wang,J.Xu,L.Ma,and C.Gao.In situ assembly of fibrinogen/hyaluronic acid hydrogel via knob-hole interaction for 3D cellular engineering.Bioact Mater.2017.2(4)). in situ. However, the hydrogel constructed in this study has weak mechanical properties, high swelling rate, and no adhesive strength, and as such, the study is not mentioned as being applied to the hemostatic field.
The strong adhesion between the tissue adhesive and the tissue interface is important to control bleeding, however the adhesive's adhesive behavior is often impaired by liquids at the tissue surface, reducing interface interactions. Development of adhesives with strong adhesion in humid environments presents challenges. Inspired by catecholamines rich in mussel mucins, catechol-based functionalized adhesive hydrogels developed in recent years have been used in many biomedical fields, such as tissue repair and regeneration, antibacterial applications and drug delivery (W.Zhang,R.Wang,Z.Sun,et al.Catechol-functionalized hydrogels:biomimetic design,adhesion mechanism,and biomedical applications.Chem Soc Rev.2020.49(2)). catechol structures play a key role in wet adhesion, the benzene ring of the catechol group bearing pi bonds, the phenolic hydroxyl group bearing lone pair electrons and hydrogen atoms, making it possible to create covalent bonds (schiff base and michael addition reactions with sulfhydryl and amino groups on tissues) and/or noncovalent bonds (hydrogen bonds, metal complexation, pi-pi and/or cation-pi interactions) with different substrates. The covalent and non-covalent interactions of catechol structures with tissues provide mussels with strong adhesion and can adhere to virtually any substrate. Therefore, the introduction of catechol structures into compounds has become a fundamental idea to improve adhesive strength of adhesives.
The ideal hemostatic material should not depend on the body coagulation mechanism, can play a hemostatic role even when the body is in coagulation disorder, and should not depend on thrombin at the same time, so as to reduce the risk of thrombus, and should have storage stability, guarantee to have excellent hemostatic effect after long-time storage; in addition, it should combine the desired biocompatibility, rapid gelation and better moist tissue adhesion. Therefore, the invention is particularly important to provide a novel hemostatic material which can solve the problems of poor wet tissue adhesion and limited hemostatic effect existing in the existing hemostatic materials.
Disclosure of Invention
To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, a primary object of the present invention is: a functional cross-linking agent with strong wet adhesion is provided which can cross-link with fibrinogen to form a solid hydrogel and which is capable of providing strong adhesion to any moist tissue substrate.
Another object of the invention is: an adhesive is provided which rapidly stanches, rapidly gels, has strong wet adhesion, and is intended for use in trauma or surgical wounds.
Another object of the invention is: methods of making the adhesive are provided.
Still another object of the present invention is: methods of hemostasis using the adhesives are provided.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the invention provides a mussel protein-inspired functional cross-linking agent, which is composed of a high molecular compound skeleton grafted with catechol structure and a 'knot' mimic peptide. This invention refers to the term `node` mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound.
In the functional crosslinking agent, the 'knot' mimic peptide and catechol are grafted on the same high molecular compound framework; the 'knot' mimic peptide is used as a cross-linking point and is used for cross-linking with fibrinogen to form solid hydrogel; after forming the solid hydrogel, the catechol structure serves to increase the tissue adhesion strength of the solid hydrogel. In the prior art, the catechol-grafted compound obtained by only grafting catechol on a high molecular compound skeleton cannot be crosslinked with fibrinogen to form solid hydrogel, and the tissue adhesive strength cannot be improved. The 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound of the invention can participate in fibrinogen crosslinking to form solid hydrogel and can improve tissue adhesion strength.
In the functional crosslinking agent, the macromolecular compound skeleton is from a macromolecular compound with a carboxyl and carbon-carbon double bond structure; the preferable high molecular compound has better biocompatibility and certain strength; the most preferred polymer backbone is from either of a methacryloylated gelatin or a carboxylic acid functionalized polyethylene glycol acrylate.
In the functional crosslinking agent, the molecular weight of the macromolecular compound skeleton is 100-600 kDa; preferably 150-400 kDa; the molecular weight of the preferred high molecular weight compound backbone is similar to the molecular weight of fibrinogen (340 kDa), facilitating crosslinking of the functional crosslinking agent and fibrinogen by "pore-junction interactions".
In the functional crosslinking agent, the 'knot' mimic peptide is a short peptide sequence capable of self-assembling with fibrinogen based on 'hole-knot interaction', and is preferably any one of GPRPFPAC or GPRPAAC.
In the functional crosslinking agent, the 'knot' mimic peptide is used for self-assembly with fibrinogen based on 'hole-knot interaction', the catechol structure is used for providing wet adhesion performance, and the macromolecular compound skeleton is used for providing a group or bond capable of connecting the 'knot' mimic peptide and catechol or derivatives thereof. Therefore, the functional crosslinking agent has the property of combining with fibrinogen and has wet tissue adhesiveness, and is very suitable for preparing fibrin gel adhesives. The fibrin gel prepared by the functional crosslinking agent has catechol structure in the structure, and can perform covalent and/or non-covalent interaction with functional groups on tissues, so that the wet adhesive strength of the fibrin gel can be improved.
The functional cross-linking agent can be loaded on a solid hemostatic material; the solid hemostatic material can be in the form of any one of gauze or sponge.
In the functional cross-linking agent, the 'knot' mimic peptide can self-assemble and cross-link with fibrinogen in blood based on 'hole-knot interaction', and a blood clot-like blocking is formed at a wound; the catechol structure and the functional groups on the tissues have covalent and/or non-covalent interactions, so that the wet adhesion performance is improved. Therefore, the functional crosslinking agent is very suitable for being loaded on the solid hemostatic material, so that the functional crosslinking agent has the property of combining with fibrinogen in blood and has wet tissue adhesiveness.
According to the invention, the influence of the catechol content in the functional crosslinking agent on the adhesive strength of the crosslinking agent wet tissue is further observed through experiments, and the fact that the catechol content in the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound can bring about more ideal adhesive strength of the wet tissue within the range of 10 mu mol/g-100 mu mol/g is found; wherein the catechol content is 50 mu mol/g-100 mu mol/g, the effect is better; the functional crosslinking agent has a wet tissue adhesion strength which is at a further catechol content of 80. Mu. Mol/g to 100. Mu. Mol/g, in particular 100. Mu. Mol/g.
In the preferred functional crosslinking agent, the content of the 'knot' mimic peptide in the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound is 588 mu mol/g-0.59 mu mol/g; preferably 29.4. Mu. Mol/g to 1.12. Mu. Mol/g; more preferably 11.76. Mu. Mol/g to 2.84. Mu. Mol/g; most preferably 8.82. Mu. Mol/g.
The functional crosslinking agent disclosed by the invention can be prepared by the following method:
1) Taking an amino or alkylamino substituted catechol derivative and a high molecular compound with a carboxyl and carbon-carbon double bond structure in the structure as raw materials, and carrying out condensation reaction on the amino or alkylamino and the carboxyl to obtain a catechol-grafted compound; in this step, in order to avoid and reduce oxidation of catechol as much as possible, it is preferable that the reaction is carried out in an acidic liquid atmosphere having a pH of 5 and in a nitrogen atmosphere;
2) Reacting the catechol-grafted compound obtained in 1) with a 'knot' mimic peptide in a nitrogen atmosphere, namely grafting the 'knot' mimic peptide through a carbon-carbon double bond on the catechol-grafted compound to obtain the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound, and acidifying the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound to a pH value of 5-6. The "knob" mimetic peptide is a short peptide sequence capable of self-assembly with fibrinogen based on "pore-knob interactions", preferably either one of GPRPFPAC or GPRPAAC.
In the preparation method of the functional cross-linking agent, the grafting sequence is critical to successful synthesis of the functional cross-linking agent: if the 'knot' mimic peptide is grafted on the high molecular compound with the carboxyl and carbon-carbon double bond structure, and then catechol is grafted, the 'knot' mimic peptide can react with the carboxyl in the high molecular compound to generate condensation reaction of amino and carboxyl besides reacting with the carbon-carbon double bond, so that the carboxyl on the high molecular compound is occupied, the reaction of catechol and the carboxyl on the high molecular compound is reduced, and the grafting of catechol is not facilitated. Therefore, the synthesis sequence of the catechol grafted first and then the 'knot' mimic peptide is grafted in the invention, so that the successful grafting of the catechol and the binding activity of the 'knot' mimic peptide are ensured.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides a fibrin gel, a fibrin adhesive, which is a solid hydrogel of fibrin inspired by mussel proteins and which is obtained by crosslinking a "desmodromic" mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound with fibrinogen.
The fibrin gel is a solid hydrogel which completes fibrin crosslinking through 'hole-knot interaction' and has strong wet adhesion function. The completion of fibrin cross-linking by "pore-junction interaction" refers to the process of forming a fibrin solid hydrogel by cross-linking fibrinogen through "pore-junction interaction" by the active amino acid sequences at both ends of fibrinogen and the "junction" mimetic peptides on the "junction" mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound without depending on thrombin; meanwhile, the hydrogen bonding effect of the catechol structure on the peptide-catechol-grafted compound and amino, hydroxyl and other groups on the surface of fibrinogen also participates in the formation of solid hydrogel; the strong wet adhesion is achieved by covalent and/or non-covalent interactions of catechol structures in gel structures with functional groups on tissue.
The "knot" mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound refers to the functional crosslinking agent of the first aspect of the invention, and is formed by grafting catechol structure and "knot" mimetic peptide on a high molecular compound framework. Wherein the definition and description of the "junction" mimetic peptide and the polymer skeleton are the same as those of the first aspect of the present invention.
The "pore-junction interaction" refers to that in the process of crosslinking fibrin, the active amino acid sequences at two ends of fibrinogen can be called as "pores", the amino acid sequence with binding activity exposed by fibrin after thrombin catalysis is called as "junction", and the "junction" and the "pores" can be combined together through strong non-covalent interactions (electrostatic and hydrogen bonding) to complete the crosslinking of fibrin. The "knob" mimetic short peptide sequences of the prior art also bind specifically to fibrinogen; the "knot" mimetic peptide-grafted compounds, further constructed based on the "knot" mimetic short peptide sequences, can also bind to fibrinogen via "pore-knot interactions" to complete fibrin cross-linking.
The fibrin gel is prepared from a raw material A and a raw material B; the raw material A is fibrinogen, and the raw material B is a 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound. When the raw materials are used for preparing the gel, the raw materials A and B are mixed, and fibrin crosslinking is rapidly completed by 'hole-knot interaction' during mixing, and meanwhile, catechol structures in a gel structure can interact with tissues, so that wet adhesion strength is improved. The fibrinogen may be any one selected from human fibrinogen, bovine fibrinogen or porcine fibrinogen.
The gel time of the fibrin gel of the invention is related to the molar ratio of the "pore" to "knot" mimetic peptide, and as the molar ratio of the "pore" to "knot" increases, the gel time of the fibrin gel shortens, whereas above a certain molar ratio, the gel time of the fibrin gel increases. The wet adhesion strength of the fibrin gel is related to the catechol content of the "knob" mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound, and as the catechol content increases, the wet tissue adhesion strength of the fibrin gel also increases. In view of the influence of the molar ratio of the 'holes' to the 'knots' in the raw materials and the catechol content on the overall performance of the gel, the invention further optimizes the molar ratio of the 'holes' to the 'knots' in the raw materials through experiments, wherein the molar ratio of the 'holes' to the 'knots' in the raw materials is 1:10-10:1; preferably 1:5 to 5:1; more preferably 1:2 to 2:1; most preferably 1:1.5. At these preferred "pore" to "knot" molar ratios, fibrinogen cross-linking is rapidly accomplished, forming a solid fibrin gel at a minimum gel time. The invention further optimizes the content of catechol structure through experiments, and discovers that the ideal wet tissue adhesive strength can be brought to gel when the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound with the catechol content within the range of 10 mu mol/g-100 mu mol/g is used as a raw material; wherein the catechol content is 50 mu mol/g-100 mu mol/g, the effect is better; when the catechol content is further 80 to 100. Mu. Mol/g, especially 100. Mu. Mol/g, the wet tissue adhesion strength of the crosslinked fibrin gel is maximized. In summary, these preferred "pore" to "knot" molar ratios and catechol levels can provide superior hemostatic properties to the fibrin gel of the invention as a whole, especially when the "pore" to "knot" molar ratio in raw material A, B is 1:1.5 and the catechol content in raw material B is 100 μmol/g, the hemostatic properties of the crosslinked gel can be optimized, and the rapidly formed gel can have both enhanced gel strength and strong wet tissue adhesion.
In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a feedstock composition for preparing the fibrin gel of the second aspect of the invention, comprising feedstock a and feedstock B; the raw material A is fibrinogen, and the raw material B is a 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound; the molar ratio of the 'holes' in the raw material A to the 'knots' mimic peptide in the raw material B is 1:10-10:1; preferably 1:5 to 5:1; more preferably 1:2 to 2:1; most preferably 1:1.5.
The "knot" mimetic peptide-catechol-grafted compound refers to the functional crosslinking agent of the first aspect of the invention, and is formed by grafting catechol structure and "knot" mimetic peptide on a high molecular compound framework. Wherein the definition and description of the "junction" mimetic peptide and the polymer skeleton are the same as those of the first aspect of the present invention.
The invention finds through experiments that when the raw material A and the raw material B are both solutions or prepared into solutions, the concentration of the raw material composition is related to the strength of the fibrin gel obtained by crosslinking: when the concentrations of the raw material A and the raw material B are both in the range of 5% (w/v) to 20% (w/v), the strength of the fibrin gel increases and the wound blocking effect increases as the concentrations of the raw material A and the raw material B increase.
In the preferred feedstock composition of the present invention, both feedstock A and feedstock B are in the form of solutions; the concentration of fibrinogen in the raw material A is 5% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); preferably 10% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); more preferably 15% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); most preferably 20% (w/v). The concentration of the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound in the raw material B is 5% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); preferably 10% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); more preferably 15% (w/v) to 20% (w/v); most preferably 20% (w/v).
The invention finds through experiments that in the raw material composition, the molar ratio of the 'holes' in the raw material A to the 'knots' mimic peptides in the raw material B is related to the gel time of the fibrin gel: when the molar ratio of "pores" to "junctions" is in the range of 1:10 to 1:1.5, the gelation time shortens with increasing molar ratio; and when the molar ratio of "pore" to "junction" is in the range of 1:1.5 to 10:1, the gelation time is prolonged with the increase of the molar ratio. This means that the shortest gel time is achieved with a 1:1.5 molar ratio of "pores" to "knots" which serves to rapidly seal the bleeding wound. Meanwhile, the gel time is shorter when the molar ratio of the pore to the junction is 1:10-10:1; gel time can be further shortened when the molar ratio of "pores" to "junctions" is 1:5 to 5:1; gel times are minimized when the molar ratio of "pores" to "junctions" is 1:2 to 2:1, especially 1:1.5.
Experiments show that in the raw material composition, the catechol content in the raw material B is related to the wet tissue adhesion strength of the fibrin gel: when the catechol content in the raw material B is in the range of 10 mu mol/g to 100 mu mol/g, the wet tissue adhesion strength is enhanced against the increase of the catechol content; when the catechol content is 100 mu mol/g, the strongest wet tissue adhesion strength can be obtained, the fibrin clot is protected from being washed away by blood flow, and the effect of sealing the tissue wound is improved. Therefore, the catechol content in the raw material B is 10 mu mol/g-100 mu mol/g; preferably 50. Mu. Mol/g to 100. Mu. Mol/g; more preferably 80. Mu. Mol/g to 100. Mu. Mol/g; most preferably 100. Mu. Mol/g.
In the raw material composition, the content of the 'knot' mimic peptide in the raw material B in the 'knot' mimic peptide-catechol-grafted compound is 588 mu mol/g-0.59 mu mol/g; preferably 29.4. Mu. Mol/g to 1.12. Mu. Mol/g; more preferably 11.76. Mu. Mol/g to 2.84. Mu. Mol/g; most preferably 8.82. Mu. Mol/g.
In the raw material composition of the present invention, the fibrinogen may be any one selected from human fibrinogen, bovine fibrinogen and porcine fibrinogen.
The raw material composition can be in various specific forms which are pharmaceutically or clinically acceptable, for example, freeze-dried powder, injection, sponge or granule.
