Injectable and Glucose-Responsive Hydrogels Based on Boronic Acid-Glucose Complexation.

ABSTRACT: Injectable hydrogels have been widely used for a number of biomedical applications. Here, we report a new strategy to form an injectable and glucose-responsive hydrogel using the boronic acid-glucose complexation. The ratio of boronic acid and glucose functional groups is critical for hydrogel formation. In our system, polymers with 10-60% boronic acid, with the balance being glucose-modified, are favorable to form hydrogels. These hydrogels are shear-thinning and self-healing, recovering from shear-induced flow to a gel state within seconds. More importantly, these polymers displayed glucose-responsive release of an encapsulated model drug. The hydrogel reported here is an injectable and glucose-responsive hydrogel constructed from the complexation of boronic acid and glucose within a single component polymeric material.

Weak Bond-Based Injectable and Stimuli Responsive Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications.

Project description: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 ?-? 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.

Injectable dynamic covalent hydrogels of boronic acid polymers cross-linked by bioactive plant-derived polyphenols.

Project description:We report here the development of hydrogels formed at physiological conditions using PEG (polyethylene glycol) based polymers modified with boronic acids (BAs) as backbones and the plant derived polyphenols ellagic acid (EA), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), tannic acid (TA), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), rutin trihydrate (RT), rosmarinic acid (RA) and carminic acid (CA) as linkers. Rheological frequency sweep and single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) experiments show that hydrogels linked with EGCG and TA are mechanically stiff, arising from the dynamic covalent bond formed by the polyphenol linker and boronic acid functionalized polymer. Stability tests of the hydrogels in physiological conditions revealed that gels linked with EA, EGCG, and TA are stable. We furthermore showed that EA- and EGCG-linked hydrogels can be formed via in situ gelation in pH 7.4 buffer, and provide long-term steady state release of bioactive EA. In vitro experiments showed that EA-linked hydrogel significantly reduced the viability of CAL-27 human oral cancer cells via gradual release of EA.

Self-healing boronic acid-based hydrogels for 3D co-cultures.

Project description:Synthetic hydrogels have been widely adopted as well-defined matrices for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture, with increasing interest in systems that enable the co-culture of multiple cell types for probing both cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions in studies of tissue regeneration and disease. We hypothesized that the unique dynamic covalent chemistry of self-healing hydrogels could be harnessed for not only the encapsulation and culture of human cells but also the subsequent construction of layered hydrogels for 3D co-cultures. To test this, we formed hydrogels using boronic acid-functionalized polymers and demonstrated their self-healing in the presence of physiologically-relevant cell culture media. Two model human cell lines, MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and CCL151 pulmonary fibroblasts, were encapsulated within these dynamic materials, and good viability was observed over time. Finally, self-healing of cut hydrogel 'blocks' laden with these different cell types was used to create layered hydrogels for the generation of a dynamic co-culture system. This work demonstrates the utility of self-healing materials for multi-dimensional cultures and establishes approaches broadly useful for a variety of biological applications.

Structure-Reactivity Relationships in Boronic Acid-Diol Complexation.

Project description:Boronic acids have found widespread use in the field of biomaterials, primarily through their ability to bind with biologically relevant 1,2- and 1,3-diols, including saccharides and peptidoglycans, or with polyols to prepare hydrogels with dynamic covalent or responsive behavior. Despite a wide range of boronic acid architectures that have been previously considered, there is a need for greater understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships that govern binding affinity to diols. In this study, various boronic acids and other organoboron compounds were investigated to determine their pK a and their binding constants with the biologically relevant diols including sorbitol, fructose, and glucose. Boronic acid pK a values were determined through spectroscopic titration, whereas binding constants were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy during competitive binding studies. Key structure-reactivity relationships clearly indicated that both boronic acid structure and solution pH must be carefully considered. By considering a variety of boronic acids with systematically varied electronics and sterics, these results provide guidance during selection of organoboron compounds in sensing, delivery, and materials chemistry.

Biocompatibility of injectable resilin-based hydrogels.

Project description:Vocal folds are connective tissues housed in the larynx, which can be subjected to various injuries and traumatic stimuli that lead to aberrant tissue structural alterations and fibrotic-induced biomechanical stiffening observed in patients with voice disorders. Much effort has been devoted to generate soft biomaterials that are injectable directly to sites of injury. To date, materials applied toward these applications have been largely focused on natural extracellular matrix-derived materials such as collagen, fibrin or hyaluronic acid; these approaches have suffered from the fact that materials are not sufficiently robust mechanically nor offer sufficient flexibility to modulate material properties for targeted injection. We have recently developed multiple resilin-inspired elastomeric hydrogels that possess similar mechanical properties as those reported for vocal fold tissues, and that also show promising in vitro cytocompatibility and in vivo biocompatibility. Here we report studies that test the delivery of resilin-based hydrogels through injection to the subcutaneous tissue in a wild-type mice model; histological and genetic expression outcomes were monitored. The rapid kinetics of crosslinking enabled facile injection and ensured the rapid transition of the viscous resilin precursor solution to a solid-like hydrogel in the subcutaneous space in vivo; the materials exhibited storage shear moduli in the range of 1000-2000 Pa when characterized through oscillatory rheology. Histological staining and gene expression profiles suggested minimal inflammatory profiles three weeks after injection, thereby demonstrating the potential suitability for site-specific in vivo injection of these elastomeric materials. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Injectable Biodegradable Polymeric Complex for Glucose-Responsive Insulin Delivery.

Project description:Insulin therapy is the central component of treatment for type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes; however, its narrow therapeutic window is associated with a risk of severe hypoglycemia. A glucose-responsive carrier that demonstrates consistent and slow basal insulin release under a normoglycemic condition and accelerated insulin release in response to hyperglycemia in real-time could offer effective blood glucose regulation with reduced risk of hypoglycemia. Here, we describe a poly(l-lysine)-derived biodegradable glucose-responsive cationic polymer for constructing polymer-insulin complexes for glucose-stimulated insulin delivery. The effects of the modification degree of arylboronic acid in the synthesized cationic polymer and polymer-to-insulin ratio on the glucose-dependent equilibrated free insulin level and the associated insulin release kinetics have been studied. In addition, the blood glucose regulation ability of these complexes and the associated glucose challenge-triggered insulin release are evaluated in type 1 diabetic mice.

Hybrid polymeric hydrogels via peptide nucleic acid (PNA)/DNA complexation.

Project description:This work presents a new concept in hybrid hydrogel design. Synthetic water-soluble N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) polymers grafted with multiple peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are crosslinked upon addition of the linker DNA. The self-assembly is mediated by the PNA-DNA complexation, which results in the formation of hydrophilic polymer networks. We show that the hydrogels can be produced through two different types of complexations. Type I hydrogel is formed via the PNA/DNA double-helix hybridization. Type II hydrogel utilizes a unique "P-form" oligonucleotide triple-helix that comprises two PNA sequences and one DNA. Microrheology studies confirm the respective gelation processes and disclose a higher critical gelation concentration for the type I gel when compared to the type II design. Scanning electron microscopy reveals the interconnected microporous structure of both types of hydrogels. Type I double-helix hydrogel exhibits larger pore sizes than type II triple-helix gel. The latter apparently contains denser structure and displays greater elasticity as well. The designed hybrid hydrogels have potential as novel biomaterials for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Injectable in situ cross-linking chitosan-hyaluronic acid based hydrogels for abdominal tissue regeneration.

Project description:Abdominal wall defect caused by open abdomen (OA) or abdominal trauma is a serious issue since it induces several clinical problems. Although a variety of prosthetic materials are commonly employed, complications occur including host soft tissue response, fistula formation and chronic patient discomfort. Recently, abundant natural polymers have been used for injectable hydrogel synthesis in tissue regeneration. In this study, we produced the chitosan - hyaluronic acid (CS/HA) hydrogel and investigated its effects on abdominal tissue regeneration. The physical and biological properties of the hydrogel were demonstrated to be suitable for application in abdominal wounds. In a rat model simulating open abdomen and large abdominal wall defect, rapid cellular response, sufficient ECM deposition and marked neovascularization were found after the application of the hydrogel, compared to the control group and fibrin gel group. Further, the possible mechanism of these findings was studied. Cytokines involved in angiogenesis and cellular response were increased and the skew toward M2 macrophages credited with the functions of anti-inflammation and tissue repair was showed in CS/HA hydrogel group. These findings suggested that CS/HA hydrogel could prevent the complications and was promising for abdominal tissue regeneration.
