- Example 1 preparation of a hydrogel with improved properties
- this composition did not cause an inflammatory reaction, and was able to induce a higher vascular density and the formation of nerve endings in the surrounding tissues, after subcutaneous implantation in mice.
- This previous study has some limitations. Firstly, the porosity of the hydrogel did not prove sufficient to allow homogeneous cell colonization in the implant. Furthermore, the hydrogel does not seem to degrade after implantation, probably due to the PEG which is not entirely biodegradable in the long term.
- the inventors therefore sought to modify the composition and structure of the hydrogel in order to improve the homogeneity of cell colonization and the biodegradability of the material. induction of improved porosity
- the first pore induction method used consists of the formation of a cryomatrix.
- a prematrix solution was frozen to form water crystals.
- the crosslinking reagents surround said water crystals, and when the solution is subjected to UV radiation, the alkene and thiol groups of the different components of the mixture react at the interface of said crystals.
- the solution thaws, the space occupied by the water crystals becomes a pore in the matrix.
- the other method used is based on the production of matrices using the CryoUV method, followed by a freeze-drying step (method designated "CryoUV + Lyoph" below).
- the matrices were rehydrated for 24 hours, and freeze-dried under vacuum after freezing for 24 hours, thus sublimating the ice without melting it, and thus generating new pores.
- the combination of these two techniques has the advantage of allowing the formation of an extended distribution of pore sizes, allowing the colonization of different cell types useful for the induction of angiogenesis, innervation and osteogenesis.
- the inventors evaluated the external structure of the matrices using environmental SEM. CryoUV hydrogels were produced and, before SEM analysis, their water content was evaporated to allow SEM visualization. Regarding the CryoUV + Lyoph method, freeze-drying allowed the three-dimensional structure of the hydrogel to be maintained. The results show that both methods make it possible to produce hydrogels with a porous structure.
- the inventors then explored the possibility of modifying the composition of the hydrogels in order to improve the colonization and biodegradability properties mentioned above.
- the nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence [(VPGVG)(VPGMG)(VPGVG)2]5 was extracted from a pUC19 plasmid encoding ELPM20 also described previously, by digestion with the restriction enzymes BsmFl and BtgZI.
- This sequence was used as an insert introduced by ligation into the linearized ELP M40-pUC19 plasmid, thus making it possible to obtain plasmids pUC19-ELPM60 and pUC19-ELPM80 encoding ELPM60 and ELPM80 respectively.
- the ELPM80 coding sequence was then transferred, after digestion of the pUC19-ELPM80 plasmid with the restriction enzymes Ndel and BamHI, into the expression vector pET44a, allowing IPTG-inducible expression of ELPM80.
- the article Petitdemange et al. Biomacromolecules.
- the inventors replaced ELPM40 included in the compositions of the state of the art with the elastin-type peptide ELPM80. Furthermore, the peptide YIGSR adhesion was also introduced into the composition of the hydrogel. Its scramble version GYSRI was used as a control.
- the hydrogel compositions produced are shown in Table 1.
- the CryoUV + Lyoph method has been standardized to ensure (i) high porosity taking into account the criteria of (ii) large pore sizes in order to meet the prerequisite of cell colonization by different cells allowing angiogenesis, innervation and osteogenesis; iii) compositional changes were made to produce an all-natural polymer material to facilitate matrix degradation, i.e. production of a PEG-free matrix was possible, whilst maintaining equinarity alkenelhiol; iv) ELPM40 has been replaced by ELPM80.
- the samples were taken and analyzed histologically by hematoxy line-eosin (HE) staining to assess tissue architecture, cell colonization and persistent inflammation.
- HE hematoxy line-eosin
- IHC CD31 immunohistochemistry
- P3 tubulin IHC was used for innervation potential.
- no persistent inflammation signals were observed, and nerves and vessels were observed inside the hydrogels.
- heterogeneous cell colonization occurred, indicating the need to optimize and standardize material production. Quantification of vessel and nerve densities also confirmed these observations, showing high variability in the same group ( Figure 2).
- biomimetic peptides to increase neural and vascular cell recruitment, matrix degradation, cell colonization and retention of mineral content: (i) peptides basic adhesion CpA-IKVAV-pAC and CpA-YIGSR-pAC were replaced by the sequence CpA-IKVAV-GGG-PVGLIG-GGG-YIGSR-pAC, where the same cross-linking chemistry strategy was retained: the group thiol is present on the flanking cysteines, allowing cross-linking with the alkenes grafted onto ELPM80.
- the inventors also used a control peptide where the scramble versions VKAIV and GYSRI replaced their original IKVAV and YIGSR sequences, respectively.
- the PVGLIG sequence was conserved in this control peptide.
- Three glycines were used as spacers between the functional motifs and (ii) PVGLIG, a target degradation site of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 was included between the two adhesion sequences. Thus, once cleaved, each adhesion sequence will still be attached to the matrix and available for cell attachment.
- HA hydroxyapatite
- the group of inventors has already synthesized and characterized them, having rod-shaped HA crystals of 50 to 100 nm that form aggregates with an average diameter of 3.26 ⁇ 0.62 pm. Using the method CryoUV+Lyoph, the inventors standardized the incubation time in the matrix production protocol ( Figure 3).
- the next step in the characterization process consisted of optimizing the matrices based on several factors: crosslinking time, final mass concentration and HA concentration.
- Photopolymerization was induced using the Irgacure 2959 photoinitiator, notably used at a density of 0.5% (w/v) in the mixture, and activated by UV-visible light at 305 nm.
- the crosslinking time was evaluated because it has a direct effect on the creation of the matrices.
- Biomimetic peptides consist of a single peptide containing the IKVAV, PVGLIG and YIGSR motifs.
- the scramble version consists of VKAIV and GYSRI without affecting the PVGLIG sequence.
- the 3% (w/v) matrices tended to retain their structure across different HA concentrations, while the 2% (w/v) and 4% (w/v) matrices had structures resembling powders, with potentially reduced reproducibility.
- SEM analysis confirmed the external porosity of the dehydrated matrices produced with 8 min of cross-linking time, and demonstrated that the bulk density of the mesh increased proportionally to the matrix concentration.
- the 4% (w/v) matrices appear to have more pores but with smaller diameters, while the 2% (w/v) and 3% (w/v) matrices appear to have fewer pores but larger diameters. larger dimensions.
- the pore size of the dehydrated matrices with the same HA concentration did not vary as a function of the final concentration. Again, HA content appears to interfere with pore size in matrices with the same final concentration, but this trend does not appear statistically significant.
- the inventors quantified the size of the pores in the hydrated matrices, by cutting them in the middle and producing histological slices by cryostat.
- Figure 6 shows that in 3% (w/v) matrices, 5% HA matrices have smaller pore sizes than matrices including 0% and 2.5% HA. Additionally, when comparing the 3% (w/v) and 4% (w/v) matrices, the 3% (w/v) matrices with 0% HA, 2.5% HA, and 5 % HA have significantly larger pores than 4% (w/v) matrices with the same HA concentration.
- the inventors evaluated the general porosity of the matrices without HA and 2.5% (w/v) HA after rehydration. They used the methodology described by Ma and Zang, based on overall fibrous matrix densities and skeletal density (Ma and Zhang, J. Biomed. Mater. Res. 1999, 46, 60). Skeletal density is considered to be the density of polymers and HA.
- the matrices without HA and with 2.5% w/v HA did not differ in terms of porosity. Matrices without HA were 98.9 ⁇ 0.26% porous compared to 98.9 ⁇ 0.49% for 2.5% w/v HA.
- EDX analysis is an x-ray technique used to identify the elemental composition of materials, in this case the calcium content is visible as white dots. The experiments were able to show that hydroxyapatite is distributed homogeneously on the surface and in the matrices.
- EC-RFP Primary rat endothelial cells
- BMSCs bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
- the core of the samples was counterstained with DAPI (40,60-diamidino-2-phenylindole) and images were captured to detect RFP and DAPI, to assess cell colonization in the core of the matrix.
- DAPI 40,60-diamidino-2-phenylindole
- images were captured to detect RFP and DAPI, to assess cell colonization in the core of the matrix.
- DAPI 40,60-diamidino-2-phenylindole
- the inventors subcutaneously implanted matrices at 3% w/v without HA or containing 1%, 2% and 2.5% w/v HA into mice. The inventors then followed the implantations on the day of implantation (Day 0), 2 (2W) and 4 weeks (4W) in order to evaluate the mineralization potential of the matrices using microCT. MicroCT confirmed the formation of ectopic mineralized tissue within the week 2 and week 4 implantations ( Figure 7). Once quantified, the volume of mineralized neotissue formed in matrices with 1%, 2%, and 2.5% w/v HA increased over time.
- the inventors have described a new matrix composite material without cells and without growth factors capable of inducing the formation of ectopic mineralized tissue in mice.
- This matrix is composed of EEPM80 and functionalized with biomimetic peptides responsible for recruiting nerve and vascular cells, stimulating cell colonization and retaining HA.
- Functionalized matrices combined with 1 - 2.5% (w/v) HA have osteoinductive properties.
- the inventors have produced a composite matrix, according to the methods set out above, composed for its organic part of ELPM80-alkene, biomimetic peptides containing the adhesion sequences IKVAV, YIGSR, the proteolytic cutting motif PVGLIG, as well as the calcium nucleation peptide SNA15, and for its mineral phase hydroxyapatite microparticles.
- the calcium phosphate nucleating peptide SNA15 sequence DDDEEKFLRRIGREG, is derived from the salivary protein statherin.
- a modified SNA 15 peptide with sequence CpA-DDDEEKPLRRIGREG-PAC was used.
- Composite matrices containing or not this SNA 15 peptide were produced with the same concentration of ELPs matrix and by varying the HA concentrations from 0% to 2.5%.
- An Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis was carried out to determine the surface elemental composition of the materials, and more particularly the element calcium (identified as white dots in Figure 8). It can be seen that matrices without HA contain little or no calcium. As expected, the more the matrices are supplemented with HA particles, the more the signal increases. This phenomenon is all the more visible when the gels contain the SNA15 peptide.
- Quantitative analysis shows that the atomic percentage of calcium in matrices containing SNA 15 is greater than in those which do not contain it: compared to matrices not not containing the SNA15 peptide, there is 8 times more calcium in the 1% HA + SNA15 matrices, 8.9 times more in the 2% HA + SNA15 matrices and 12.6 times more in the 2.5% HA matrices + SNA15.
- the SNA 15 peptide advantageously makes it possible to substantially improve the retention of calcium phosphate particles since there are between 8 and 12.6 more of them in its presence.
- Example 3 in vivo evaluation of composite matrices based on ELPs in ectopic sites and in bone lesions
- Matrices of ELPs and peptides containing different concentrations of HA particles were implanted subcutaneously to select the one presenting the best capacities in terms of mineralization, vascularization and innervation.
- the four matrices differed only in their HA content (0%, 1%, 2% and 2.5% particles).
- matrices were excised, embedded in paraffin, and analyzed histologically by Masson's trichrome staining to assess tissue architecture, cell colonization, inflammation, and osteoid tissue formation.
- vascular and nervous structures were observed by immunostaining of a vascular marker (Endomucin) and a neuronal marker (P III tubulin). During this study, histological sections of the matrices were made at 0, 3, 7, 15 days and 1 month post-implantation to determine the kinetics of formation of these structures.
- the ability of the matrix to stimulate innervation was also demonstrated by the presence of nerves at the periphery of the material, particularly in the early stages after implantation.
- the nervous structures are the first to appear, from the early stages following the bone lesion. This explains the presence of several nerve fibers visible at the periphery of the composite matrix from the 3rd day of implantation. After 1 month, the nerve structures are still detected at the periphery of the matrix, but their diameter seems to have increased.
- the density of nerves or vessels measured can vary depending on the location and/or angle of the tissue sections, we also used a technique allowing the entire tissue to be visualized in 3 dimensions after immunofluorescence marking of the neural networks, without having to cut the sample.
- This technique makes it possible to observe in 3 dimensions the autofluorescence of the matrix and the presence of networks of nervous structures expressing P III tubulin. In particular, we can see a strong presence of nervous structures near the matrix. Furthermore, the vascular networks seem homogeneously distributed.
- the composite matrix containing 2% HA particles is clearly visible (reddish color), and we can see HA crystals colored blue.
- the free spaces left by the pores are filled following cell colonization.
- the structure of the matrix is no longer visible, which is probably due to its degradation by the immune system.
- the matrices developed from ELPs, IKVAV/YIGSR and SNA15 peptides revealed their capacity to promote angiogenesis and innervation.
- the supplementation of matrices with HA gives them osteoinductive properties since they are then capable of forming mineralized tissue and osteoid tissue.
- the composite matrix containing 2% HA being the most efficient in terms of new bone formation, neovascularization and generation of nervous structures, we chose it for bone site implantations.
- the regenerative capacity of the composite matrix containing 2% HA was evaluated in rats in femoral condylar defect and mandibular defect models.
- Circular defects of 3 mm in diameter were made in the femoral condyles of rats. Three conditions were tested: the unfilled defect which corresponds to the negative control, the defect filled with our composite matrix, and the defect filled with the commercial Collapat® matrix which served as a positive control.
- Micro-CT analyzes were performed at different times after implantation (7, 15, 30 and 60 days) to monitor the mineralization of the condylar defects.
- the 2D images of the femoral condyles reconstructed by 3D micro-CT are presented in Figure 13A, and the quantification of the volume of mineralized tissue relative to the total volume (MV/TV) is presented in Figure 13B.
- the micro-CT images nevertheless reveal mineralization at the periphery of the lesion, which explains the high MV/TV ratio of the area of interest (ROI) ( Figure 13B).
- these images observed for unfilled lesions are different from those obtained after implantation of the composite matrices. Indeed, in this case we observe mineralization which initiates from the internal edges of the lesion and which increases as a function of post-implantation time. The mineralization is initially essentially peripheral, then evolves over time towards the interior of the lesion. After 60 days of implantation we observed that the cortical part had reformed, contrary to what was observed with the unfilled defect (Figure 13A). Quantitative analyzes show that MV/TV values increase significantly over time ( Figure 13B). They are 8.0 ⁇ 3.9% after 7 days of implantation; 15.6 ⁇ 7.0% after 15 days; 28.8 ⁇ 14.2% after 30 days to reach 56.0 ⁇ 6.9% after 60 days.
- the MV/TV is 40.2 ⁇ 9.4% from the 7th day of implantation, which is much higher than that measured with the ELP/peptides/HA composite matrix. .
- This result was expected since this commercial material contains a high content of calcium phosphate particles, particles which induce an X-ray signal ( Figure 13A).
- the MV/TV ratio varies almost not or little, the MV/TV ratio is 67.3 ⁇ 6.3% after 60 days.
- Histological sections show that the ELP/peptides/HA composite matrices were well integrated into the bone defects. There is no visible boundary between the lesion area and the material. The presence of numerous cell nuclei inside the matrix confirms cell colonization. In addition, the absence of fibrosis is a sign of the good biocompatibility of matrices used. Quantification of newly formed osteoid tissue shows an increase from the 15th day, with the maximum quantity measured on the 30th day. At two months, however, the amount of osteoid tissue had decreased. Analysis of the histological sections shows that bone formation occurs from the periphery towards the center of the defect, which confirms the images observed by micro-CT ( Figure 13A).
- osteocalcin is a specific marker of bone tissue.
- the images show that the unfilled lesions have few osteoblastic cells 7 and 15 days after the operation. After 30 days, we detect a few osteoblastic cells at the edge of the area delimiting the bone lesion.
- osteocalcin is detected from the 15th day, and its presence is proven on the 30th and 60th days, confirming the presence of osteoblastic cells in the newly formed tissues.
- 2D sections of the lesion filled with the composite matrix containing 2% HA were analyzed after 30 days of implantation.
- the bone tissue appears green thanks to its autofluorescence, the vascular networks are cyan blue and the neuronal extensions are red.
- 2D images obtained for each condition, 15 and 30 days after implantation were also analyzed: unfilled lesions, lesions filled with composite matrices or with Collapat®.
- a vascular network developed. It seems to come mainly from peripheral muscular tissues. After 30 days we detect vessels blood and nerve structures within the area that had been injured. However, histological analysis by TM staining showed that the injured part had been filled with soft, disorganized tissue rich in collagen.
- the mandibular defect also offers the advantage, compared to the calvaria defects classically used to test bone repair materials, of being subjected to high mechanical stresses.
- these mechanical constraints are necessary for effective bone repair.
- the constraints are mainly linked to chewing.
- a partial reconstruction at the periphery of defect a is observed on the 30th day.
- the quantification of MV/TV was 0.037 ⁇ 0.010 on day 7 and 0.040 ⁇ 0.018 on day 15, therefore comparable.
- On the 30th day we measured an increasing MV/TV ratio (0.094 ⁇ 0.049).
- TM staining of the histological sections obtained after 15 days of implantation of the composite matrix were analyzed.
- the matrix containing 2% HA was selected for its ability to promote mineralization as well as for its angiogenic potential. It was implanted in condylar and mandibular bone defects.
- Bone reconstruction was improved after implantation of the composite matrices in a condylar defect compared to what occurred in an unfilled defect.
- Bone structures Organized structures expressing osteocalcin were identified in these hydrogels. An organized vascular network developed throughout the entire bone lesion, which was not the case for the control material Collapat®. The results obtained in the mandibular defect model show very satisfactory results on the osteoconductive and angiogenic properties of the composite matrices. Histological analyzes showed that the materials integrated well. Bone and vascular structures were found as early as 15 days after implantation. These results therefore show the therapeutic interest of the composite matrices according to the invention.
