Effect of sodium alginate block type on the physicochemical properties and curcumin release behavior of quaternized chitosan-oxidized sodium alginate Schiff base hydrogels. Food Chem 2024; 444:138688. [PMID: 38341919 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Controlling bioactive ingredients release by modulating the 3D network structure of cross-linked hydrogels is important for functional food development. Hereby, oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) with varying aldehyde contents was formed by periodate oxidation of sodium alginate (SA) with different β-d-mannuronic acid (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G) ratios (M/G = 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1) and its structure was characterized. Moreover, hydrogels were prepared via Schiff base and electrostatic interactions between quaternized chitosan (QCS) and OSA. The properties of hydrogels such as microstructure, thermal stability, swelling and controlled release were investigated. The results showed that OSA with M/G = 1:2 had the highest content of aldehyde groups, and the hydrogel formed by it and QCS had higher thermal stability and a denser network structure with the lowest equilibrium swelling rate, which could better control the release of curcumin. Additionally, it had good self-healing and can recover rapidly after the rupture of its network structure.

Abstract
Oral colon targeted drug delivery system (OCTDDS) is desirable for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we designed a partially oxidized sodium alginate-chitosan crosslinked microsphere for UC treatment. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) was used to study the formation and enzyme response of gel beads from a molecular perspective. The formed gel beads have a narrow particle size distribution, a compact structure, low cytotoxicity and great colon targeting in vitro and in vivo. Animal experiments demonstrated that gel beads promoted colonic epithelial barrier integrity, decreased the level of pro-inflammatory factors, accelerated the recovery of intestinal microbial homeostasis in UC rats and restored the intestinal metabolic disorders. In conclusion, our gel bead is a promising approach for the treatment of UC and significant for the researches on the pathogenesis and treatment mechanism of UC.

Multifunctional fish-skin collagen-based hydrogel sealant with dual-dynamic-bond cross-linked for rapid hemostasis and accelerated wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131179. [PMID: 38552698 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Collagen (COL) is the most widespread functional protein. Designing and developing dual-dynamic-bond cross-linked COL adhesive hydrogel sealants with multifunctional is highly advantageous for achieving a superior wound closure effect and hemostasis. In this study, we developed hybrid hydrogels consisting of fish-skin COL, oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), borax and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance full-thickness wound healing. The hydrogels were furnished with first-rate self-healing capabilities through the dual-dynamic-bond cross-linking of dynamic Schiff base bonds (COL-OSA) and diol boric acid bonds (OSA-borax) with reversible breakage and re-formation. Moreover, the incorporation of PVA stimulated the formation of hydrogen bonds in the system, bolstering the stability of the hydrogel framework. The prepared hydrogel manifests self-healing, injectability, multifunctional adhesiveness and biodegradability. In vivo assessment of the hemostatic capacity of COSP20 hydrogel was superior to gauze both in the mice liver injury model and mice tail amputation model. In addition, a full-thickness skin wound model in mice revealed that the COSP20 hydrogel facilitated faster wound closure by accelerating reepithelialization, COL deposition and angiogenesis. These findings illustrate the potential of hybrid fish-skin COL-based hydrogels to enhance wound healing and promote rapid tissue repair, and provide new possibilities for the effective utilization of marine fishery resources.

[PMID: 38432278 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Rhizobial exopolysaccharide (EPS) is an acidic polysaccharide involved in nitrogen fixation-related signal transduction in the rhizosphere, serving as a structural support for biofilms, and protecting against various external environmental stresses. Rhizobial EPS as a hydrogel biomaterial was used for a pH-responsive drug delivery system combing with gelatins. Pure gelatin (GA) hydrogels have limited practical applications due to their poor mechanical strength and poor thermal stability. We developed new GA hydrogels using oxidized 3-hydroxylbutanoyl glycan (OHbG) as a polymer cross-linking agent to overcome these limitations. OHbG was synthesized from sodium periodate oxidation of 3-hydroxylbutanoyl glycan directly isolated from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae VF39. The newly fabricated OHbG/GA hydrogels exhibited 21-fold higher compressive stress and 4.7-fold higher storage modulus (G') than GA at the same strain. This result suggested that OHbG provided mechanical improvement. In addition, these OHbG/GA hydrogels showed effective pH-controlled drug release for 5-fluorouracil, self-healable, and self-antioxidant capacity by uronic acids of OHbG. Cell viability tests using HEK-293 cells in vitro also showed that the OHbG/GA hydrogels were non-toxic. This suggests that the new OHbG/GA hydrogels can be used as a potentially novel biomaterial for drug delivery based on its self-healing ability, antioxidant capacity, and pH-responsive drug delivery.

[PMID: 38394762 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Microfluidic systems are capable of producing microgels with a monodisperse size distribution and a spherical shape due to their laminar flow and superior flow. A significant challenge in producing these drug-carrying microgels is simultaneous drug loading into microgels. Various factors such as the type of polymer, the type of drug, the volume ratio of the drug to the polymer, and the geometry of the microfluidic system used to generate microgels can effectively address these challenges. The overall goal of this study was to produce mono-disperse drug-carrying microgels capable of controlled drug release. To achieve this goal, this study used a stream-focused microfluidic chip containing a coating current to prevent chip clogging. Alginate oxide was synthesized with a 30 % oxidation percentage. Alginate oxide, gelatin, and compositions of them with volume ratios of 50-50, 70-30, and 30-70, by determining their appropriate weight percentage, were used for the controlled release of letrozole. The properties of the produced microgels were measured through various tests such as drug release test, loading percentage, SEM, FTIR, swelling ratio, and dimensional stability. It was found that microgels made of a combination of alginate oxide-gelatin with volume ratios of 70-30 had a good swelling ratio and structural stability. The drug loading percentages for alginate, alginate oxide, and alginate oxide-gelatin with volume ratios of 50-50 and 30-70, respectively, were 56 %, 68 %, and 66 %, 61 % and the alginate oxide-gelatin with a volume ratio of 70-30 compared to other samples had over 70 % drug loading percentages. Furthermore, samples of alginate, alginate oxide, and alginate oxide-gelatin with volume ratios of 50-50 and 30-70 had 94 %, 63 %, 56 %, and 68 % drug release in 13 days, respectively. However, alginate oxide-gelatin with a volume ratio of 70-30 had a release rate of about 50 % in 13 days, which is a more controlled release for letrozole compared to the volume ratios of 50-50 and 30-70. Examining the drug release profile, it was concluded that drug release follows the Higuchi model and therefore follows Fick's first law of diffusion. It can be concluded that the combination of alginate oxide-gelatin produces more suitable microgels than alginate and alginate oxide for the controlled-release of letrozole. A comparison of microgels of alginate oxide and gelatin with volume ratios of 50-50 and 70-30 had better results for the cytotoxicity study compared to other samples.

Abstract
Treatment of diabetic wounds is a major clinical issue. Diabetic wound dressings have higher requirements for anti-oxidant, antibacterial and wound monitoring properties compared to conventional wound dressings. In this study, a novel tannic acid (TA)/quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan (QCMCS)/oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)@carbon quantum dots (CQD) (TA/QCMCS/OSA@CQD) hydrogels for promoting diabetic wound healing and real-time monitoring have been developed. The TA/QCMCS/OSA@CQD hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Besides, these hydrogels possessed good biocompatibility and effective hemostasis in a mouse liver injury model and significantly facilitated the healing process in a diabetic wound model. In addition, these hydrogels can reliable and timely measure the diabetic wound pH information by collecting image signals of hydrogels to monitor the healing status. Therefore, the pH responsive TA/QCMCS/OSA@CQD hydrogels could be utilized as wound dressing for promoting diabetic wound healing and real-time monitoring.

Abstract
The wound dressings' lack of antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and delayed wound healing limit their use in wound treatment and management. Recent advances in dressing materials are aimed at improving the limitations discussed above. Therefore, the aim of this study includes the preparation and characterization of oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose (OHEC) and ferulic acid-grafted chitosan (CS-FA) hydrogel loaded with green synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) (OHEC-CS-FA-Se NPs named as nanohydrogel) for diabetic wound healing. The structure and properties of the hydrogel was characterized by FTIR, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, EDAX, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, XRD, DLS, zeta potential and rheological studies. The findings of these experiments demonstrate that nanohydrogel possesses a variety of outstanding qualities, including an optimal gel time, good swelling characteristics, a fair water retention rate, a good degradation rate, and strong mechanical stability. Nanohydrogel has been shown to have a synergistic impact by significantly increasing antioxidant activity by scavenging ABTS and DPPH radicals. The nanohydrogel's strong biocompatibility was confirmed by cytocompatibility testing using L929 mouse fibroblast cells. In addition, the wound healing potential of nanohydrogel was tested on L929 cells by an in vitro scratch assay and the nanohydrogel showed a wound closure rate of 100 % after 12 h. In addition to this study, nanohydrogel has demonstrated significant antimicrobial properties against human and wound infection causing pathogens such as Bacillus subtilis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the animal model, almost complete diabetic wound healing was achieved on day 14 after application of the nanohydrogel. The results obtained indicate that the multifunctional bioactive nature of OHEC-CS-FA-Se NPs showed exceptional antioxidant and antibacterial potential for the treatment of infected and chronic wounds.

Abstract
Wound infection is a predominant etiological factor contributing to delayed wound healing in open wounds. Hence, it holds paramount clinical significance to devise wound dressings endowed with superior antibacterial properties. In this study, a Schiff base-crosslinked aerogel comprising sodium alginate oxide (OSA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and Nb2C@Ag/PDA (NAP) was developed. The resultant OSA/CMCS-Nb2C@Ag/PDA (OC/NAP) composite aerogel exhibited commendable attributes including exceptional swelling characteristics, porosity, biocompatibility, and sustained antimicrobial efficacy. In vitro antimicrobial assays unequivocally demonstrated that the OC/NAP composite aerogel maintained nearly 100 % inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli under an 808 nm laser even after 25 h. Crucially, the outcomes of in vivo infected wound healing experiments demonstrated that the wound healing rate of the OC/NAP composite aerogel group reached approximately 100 % within a span of 14 days, which was significantly greater than that of the blank control group. In vitro and in vivo hemostatic experiments also revealed that the composite aerogel had excellent hemostatic properties. The results of this study demonstrate the remarkable potential of OC/NAP aerogel as a multifunctional clinical wound dressing, especially for infected wounds.

Abstract
This study aims at developing a calcium magnesium phosphate-based bone biocement that combines a natural polymer and regenerative properties of bone bonding materials. The formulation of this biocement consists of oxidized guar gum, polydopamine, and calcium magnesium phosphate. The oxidized guar gum is easily soluble in water and has a slightly basic pH, unlike unmodified guar gum, thus allowing a homogenous paste to form in the alkaline environment of calcium magnesium phosphate. Three different oxidized degrees of guar gum were made, and the impact on the biocement properties was studied. The modified guar gum-reinforced biocement (OGG C2) displayed higher mechanical strength and lower degradation rates than OGG B1 and OGG A0. Furthermore, samples with polydopamine exhibited better results, thus, improving the already reinforced biocement. Morphological studies of the biocement displayed a highly porous structure with porosity varying among biocement containing different oxidized guar gum and polydopamine levels.

Abstract
The application of hydrophobic β-carotene in the food industry are limited due to its susceptibility to light, high temperature, pH value, and other factors, leading to poor stability and low bioavailability. To address this problem, we adopt a more green and environmentally friendly reducing agent, 2-methylpyridine borane complex (pic-BH3), instead of traditional sodium borohydride, to achieve the simple green and efficient synthesis of amphiphilic oxidized sodium alginate grafted oleoamine derivatives (OSAOLA) through the reduction amination reaction of Schiff base. The resultant OSAOLA with the degree of substitution (DS) of 7.2 %, 23.6 %, and 38.8 % were synthesized, and their CMC values ranged from 0.0095 to 0.062 mg/mL, indicating excellent self-assembly capability in aqueous solution. Meanwhile, OSAOLA showed no obvious cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells, thus revealing good biocompatibility. Furthermore, β-carotene, as the hydrophobic active ingredients in foods was successfully encapsulated in the OSAOLA micelles by ultrasonic-dialysis method. The prepared drug-loaded OSAOLA micelles could maintain good stability when stored at room temperature for 7 d. Additionally, they were able to continuously release β-carotene and exert long-term effects in pH 7.4 PBS at 37 °C, effectively improving the bioavailability of β-carotene, which exhibited tremendous application potential in functional food and biomedical fields.

Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:90. [PMID: 38258101 PMCID: PMC10819348 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The current study aimed to fabricate curcumin-loaded bilosomal hydrogel for topical wound healing purposes, hence alleviating the poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability of curcumin. Bilosomes were fabricated via the thin film hydration technique using cholesterol, Span® 60, and two different types of bile salts (sodium deoxycholate or sodium cholate). Bilosomes were verified for their particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), entrapment efficiency (EE%), and in vitro drug release besides their morphological features. The optimum formulation was composed of cholesterol/Span® 60 (molar ratio 1:10 w/w) and 5 mg of sodium deoxycholate. This optimum formulation was composed of a PS of 246.25 ± 11.85 nm, PDI of 0.339 ± 0.030, ZP of -36.75 ± 0.14 mv, EE% of 93.32% ± 0.40, and the highest percent of drug released over three days (96.23% ± 0.02). The optimum bilosomal formulation was loaded into alginate dialdehyde/chitosan hydrogel cross-linked with calcium chloride. The loaded hydrogel was tested for its water uptake capacity, in vitro drug release, and in vivo studies on male Albino rats. The results showed that the loaded hydrogel possessed a high-water uptake percent at the four-week time point (729.50% ± 43.13) before it started to disintegrate gradually; in addition, it showed sustained drug release for five days (≈100%). In vivo animal testing and histopathological studies supported the superiority of the curcumin-loaded bilosomal hydrogel in wound healing compared to the curcumin dispersion and plain hydrogel, where there was a complete wound closure attained after the three-week period with a proper healing mechanism. Finally, it was concluded that curcumin-loaded bilosomal hydrogel offered a robust, efficient, and user-friendly dosage form for wound healing.

Abstract
The drastic boom in floriculture and social events in religious and recreational places has inevitably led to generation of tremendous floral waste across the globe. Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is one of the most common loose flowers offered for the same. Generally discarded, these Tagetes floral wastes could be valorized for biogenic syntheses. In this study, we have utilized the floral extract towards green synthesis of nano ZnO, the formation of which was affirmed from different analytical techniques. Bionanocomposite Schiff-base hydrogel composed of chitosan and dialdehyde pectin was fabricated by the facile strategy of in situ polymer cross-linking, and the ZnO nanoparticles were embedded in the hydrogel matrix. The hydrogel exhibited remarkable self-healing ability. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were enhanced owing to nano ZnO. Furthermore, it was hemocompatible and biodegradable. A controlled release drug profile for 5-fluorouracil from the hydrogel was accomplished in the colorectum. The exposure of the drug-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel demonstrated improved anticancer effects in HT-29 colon cancer cells. The findings of this study altogether put forth the successful biovalorization of Tagetes floral waste extract for colon cancer remedy.

Abstract
Biofunctionalization of polysaccharides is a widely used strategy for obtaining extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking biomaterials. Still, commonly employed chemistries present low reaction yields and the selection of the most adequate bioconjugation route can be challenging. Herein, we compared the performance of carbodiimide and reductive amination chemistries for the synthesis of tailored peptide-alginate hybrid hydrogels as neural tissue mimics. Reductive amination dramatically improved the peptide grafting efficiency, with yields of 50 % vs. 20 %, allowing 1.5 to 3-fold higher incorporation of cell-adhesive and matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP)-sensitive peptides, respectively. The conjugation of dual-end reactive MMP-sensitive peptides promoted a partial crosslinking, allowing adjusting gelation, stiffness, and degradability of hydrogels. Such parameters depended on the glycosidic position where the bioactive peptide binds, determined by the adopted chemical strategy, and this significantly impacted the biological response. Reductive amination provided softer (50-210 Pa) and fully degradable (60-100 % weight loss) hydrogels, depending on the amount of peptide in formulation, contrasting with the stiffer (400 Pa) and less degradable (40 % weight loss) carbodiimide-based hydrogels. Due to their opened polymer chain and increased peptide availability to cells, such hydrogels better supported the 3D culture of primary astrocytes, which present high complexity and process branching, allowing the development of improved brain ECM-mimicking systems.

Abstract
Soft tissue substitutes have been developed to treat gingival recessions to avoid a second surgical site. However, products of pure collagen for clinical application lack their original mechanical strengths and tend to degrade fast in vivo. In this study, a collagen-based scaffold crosslinked with oxidized sodium alginate (OSA-Col) was developed to promote mechanical properties. Compared with commercial products collagen matrix (CM) and collagen sponge (CS), OSA-Col scaffolds presented higher wet-state cyclic compressibility, early anti-degradation ability, similar hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. Furthermore, in the subcutaneous implantation experiment, OSA2-Col3 scaffolds showed better anti-degradation performance than CS scaffolds and superior neovascularization than CM scaffolds. These results demonstrated that OSA2-Col3 scaffolds had potential as a new soft tissue substitute for the treatment of gingival recessions.

Abstract
Chemical modification of sodium alginate (SA) polymer chains can increase its functional group species. Sodium periodate (SP) was usually used to oxidize the hydroxyl groups on the chain of SA to aldehyde groups, the preparation of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) using SP is not only complicated, also limits the variety of functional groups on the chain of OSA. By contrast, we have developed an innovative strategy for OSA, in which ammonium persulfate (APS) was used to oxidize SA, providing a clear elucidation of the oxidizing process and mechanism. OSA/PAM hydrogels were synthesized using OSA, the hydrogels possess excellent adhesion properties to various non-metallic and metallic substrates. Tensile and compression tests show that the cross-linked OSA/PAM hydrogels have superior mechanical properties. We exploit OSA/PAM hydrogels as soil adhesive and water-retaining agents for wheat growth. OSA/PAM hydrogels significantly improve the survival time of wheat grown in brown loam soil under a water-shortage environment, and slow down the wilting of wheat in a water-shortage environment and prolong the survival time of wheat in sandy soils. Our trials should make hydrogels important for wheat cultivation in brown loam soils and the development of desert areas.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have decreased the effectiveness of traditional antibiotic treatments for wound healing. The design of a multifunctional adhesive hydrogel with antibacterial activity, self-healing properties, and on-demand removability to promote wound healing is highly desirable. In this work, a photothermal cyclodextrin with a NO-releasing moiety has been incorporated within an oxidized sodium alginate conjugated polyacrylamide (OS@PA) hydrogel to get a photothermal NO-releasing GSNOCD-OS@PA hydrogel. Such a multifunctional hydrogel has the unique feature of combined antibacterial activity as a result of a controlled photothermal effect and NO gas release under an 808 near-infrared laser. Because of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), the hydrogel matrix easily adheres to the skin under twisted and bent states. In vitro cytotoxicity analysis against 3T3 cells showed that the hydrogels OS@PA and GSNOCD-OS@PA are noncytotoxic under laser exposure. The temperature-induced NO release by GSNOCD-OS@PA reached 31.7 mg/L when irradiated with an 808 nm laser for 10 min. The combined photothermal therapy and NO release from GSNOCD-OS@PA effectively reduced viability of both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) to 3 and 5%, respectively. Importantly, the phototherapeutic NO-releasing platform displayed effective fibroblast proliferation in a cell scratch assay.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been demonstrated as smart drug carriers to recognize the tumor microenvironment for cancer treatment, where the dynamic crosslinks in the hydrogel network contribute to the stimuli-responsive features but also result in poor stability and weak mechanical property of the hydrogels. Here, phenylboronic acid-grafted polyethyleneimine (PBA-PEI)-modified gelatin (PPG) was synthesized to crosslink alginate dialdehyde (ADA) through imine bonds and boronate ester bonds, and then calcium ions (Ca2+) were added to introduce the third calcium-carboxylate crosslinking in the network to form the triple-crosslinked PPG/ADA-Ca2+ hydrogels. Given the three types of dynamic bonds in the network, PPG/ADA-Ca2+ hydrogels possessed a self-healing manner, stimuli-responsiveness, and better mechanical properties compared to single- or double-crosslinked hydrogels. The controlled release capability of PPG/ADA-Ca2+ hydrogels was also demonstrated, showing the encapsulated molecules can be rapidly released from the hydrogel network in the presence of hydrogen peroxide while the release rate can be slowed down at acidic pH. Furthermore, PPG/ADA-Ca2+ hydrogels presented selected cytotoxicity and drug delivery to cancer cells due to the regulated degradation by the cellular microenvironment. Taken together, PPG/ADA-Ca2+ hydrogels have been demonstrated as promising biomaterials with multiple desirable properties and dynamic features to perform controlled molecule release for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Recently, pH-responsive nanogels are playing progressively important roles in cancer treatment. The present study focuses on designing and developing pH-responsive alginate-based nanogels to achieve a controlled release of etoposide (Et) while enhancing its hydrophilicity. Alginate (ALG) is grafted with 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylamide (HPMA) through a microwave-supported method, and the chemical structure of the graft copolymer (ALG-g-PHPMA) was verified by 1H/13C NMR and FTIR techniques. The ALG-g-PHPMA and anticancer drug-loaded ALG-g-PHPMA@Et nanogels were obtained using an emulsion method, and their structures were characterized through FTIR, TG/DSC, AFM/TEM, BET, and DLS analyses. The ALG-g-PHPMA nanogels demonstrated a good drug encapsulation efficiency (79.60 %), displaying a pH-dependent release profile and an in vitro accelerated release of Et compared to the ALG nanogels. Thermal and BET analyses revealed enhanced stability, surface area, and porosity volume of the alginate nanogels. The grafting of PHPMA chains onto alginate altered the surface topology of the ALG nanogels, resulting in lower surface roughness. Furthermore, cytotoxicity tests showed the high biocompatibility of the ALG-g-PHPMA copolymer and its nanogels. The ALG-g-PHPMA@Et nanogels exhibited a higher anticancer effect on lung cancer (H1299) cells than free etoposide. These results suggest that the ALG-g-PHPMA nanogels can be applied as a pH-dependent nanoplatform for delivering anticancer drugs.

[PMID: 37764467 PMCID: PMC10534451 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
To enhance the mechanical strength and cell adhesion of alginate hydrogel, making it satisfy the requirements of an ideal tissue engineering scaffold, the grafting of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) polypeptide sequence onto the alginate molecular chain was conducted by oxidation of sodium periodate and subsequent reduction amination of 2-methylpyridine borane complex (2-PBC) to synthesize alginate dialdehyde grafted RGD derivatives (ADA-RGD) with good cellular affinity. The interpenetrating network (IPN) composite hydrogels of alginate/polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanocrystals (ALG/PVA/CNCs) were fabricated through a physical mixture of ion cross-linking of sodium alginate (SA) with hydroxyapatite/D-glucono-δ-lactone (HAP/GDL), and physical cross-linking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by a freezing/thawing method, using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the reinforcement agent. The effects of the addition of CNCs and different contents of PVA on the morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, swelling, biodegradability, and cell compatibility of the IPN composite hydrogels were investigated, and the effect of RGD grafting on the biological properties of the IPN composite hydrogels was also studied. The resultant IPN ALG/PVA/CNCs composite hydrogels exhibited good pore structure and regular 3D morphology, whose pore size and porosity could be regulated by adjusting PVA content and the addition of CNCs. By increasing the PVA content, the number of physical cross-linking points in PVA increased, resulting in greater stress support for the IPN composite hydrogels of ALG/PVA/CNCs and consequently improving their mechanical characteristics. The creation of the IPN ALG/PVA/CNCs composite hydrogels' physical cross-linking network through intramolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonding led to improved thermal resistance and reduced swelling and biodegradation rate. Conversely, the ADA-RGD/PVA/CNCs IPN composite hydrogels exhibited a quicker degradation rate, attributed to the elimination of ADA-RGD by alkali. The results of the in vitro cytocompatibility showed that ALG/0.5PVA/0.3%CNCs and ADA-RGD/PVA/0.3%CNCs composite hydrogels showed better proliferative activity in comparison with other composite hydrogels, while ALG/PVA/0.3%CNCs and ADA-RGD/PVA/0.3%CNCs composite hydrogels displayed obvious proliferation effects, indicating that PVA, CNCs, and ADA-RGD with good biocompatibility were conducive to cell proliferation and differentiation for the IPN composite hydrogels.

Abstract
The nature and composition of the waste produced by food industrial processing make its abundance and accumulation an environmental problem. Since these by-products may present a high potential for revalorization and may be used to obtain added-value compounds, the main goals of the technological advancements have been targeted at reducing the environmental impact and benefiting from the retrieval of active compounds with technological and health properties. Among the added-value substances, nondigestible carbohydrates have demonstrated promise. In addition to their well-known technological properties, they have been discovered to modify the gut microbiota and enhance immune function, including the stimulation of immune cells and the control of inflammatory reactions. Furthermore, the combination of these compounds with other substances such us phenols could improve their biological effect on different noncommunicable diseases through microbiota modulation. In order to gain insight into the implementation of this combined strategy, a broader focus concerning different aspects is needed. This review is focused on the optimized green and advanced extraction system applied to obtain added-value nondigestible carbohydrates, the combined administration with phenols and their beneficial effects on microbiota modulation intended for health and/or illness prevention, with particular emphasis on noncommunicable diseases. The isolation of nondigestible carbohydrates from by-products as well as in combination with other bioactive substances could provide an affordable and sustainable source of immunomodulatory chemicals.

Abstract
Background In the present study, a novel bioink was suggested based on the oxidized alginate (OAlg), gelatin (GL), and silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels. Methods The composition of the bioink was optimized by the rheological and printability measurements, and the extrusion-based 3D bioprinting process was performed by applying the optimum OAlg-based bioink. Results The results demonstrated that the viscosity of bioink was continuously decreased by increasing the SF/GL ratio, and the bioink displayed a maximum achievable printability (92 ± 2%) at 2% (w/v) of SF and 4% (w/v) of GL. Moreover, the cellular behavior of the scaffolds investigated by MTT assay and live/dead staining confirmed the biocompatibility of the prepared bioink. Conclusion The bioprinted OAlg-GL-SF scaffold could have the potential for using in skin tissue engineering applications, which needs further exploration.

Abstract
Enzymes are widely used in industry due to their high efficiency and selectivity. However, their low stability during certain industrial processes can result in a significant loss of catalytic activity. Encapsulation is a promising technique that can stabilize enzymes by protecting them from environmental stresses such as extreme temperature and pH, mechanical force, organic solvents, and proteases. Alginate and alginate-based materials have emerged as effective carriers for enzyme encapsulation due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to form gel beads through ionic gelation. This review presents various alginate-based encapsulation systems for enzyme stabilization and explores their applications in different industries. We discuss the preparation methods of alginate encapsulated enzymes and analyze the release mechanisms of enzymes from alginate materials. Additionally, we summarize the characterization techniques used for enzyme-alginate composites. This review provides insights into the use of alginate encapsulation as a means of stabilizing enzymes and highlights the potential benefits for various industrial applications.

Abstract
To deliver growth factors controllably for tissue regeneration, poly(aldehyde guluronate) (PAG) was obtained from alginate and covalently cross-linked with aminated gelatin (AG) to form PAG/AG hydrogel as a growth factors carrier. The prepared hydrogel exhibits a slow degradation rate and excellent cytocompatibility. Heparin was conjugated with gelatin and embedded into the hydrogel to reserve and stabilize growth factors. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was immobilized into the hydrogel and performed sustained release as the hydrogel degraded. The bFGF loaded hydrogel can improve vascularization effectively in a rat dorsal sac model. To summarize, heparin embedded PAG/AG hydrogels would serve as a promising biodegradable vehicle for the controlled delivery of growth factors and promoting vascularization in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Cartilage tissue engineering has attracted great attention in defect repair and regeneration. The utilization of bioactive scaffolds to effectively regulate the phenotype and proliferation of chondrocytes has become an elemental means for cartilage tissue regeneration. On account of the simultaneous requirement of mechanical and biological performances for tissue-engineered scaffolds, in this work we prepared a naturally derived hydrogel composed of a bioactive kartogenin (KGN)-linked chitosan (CS-KGN) and an aldehyde-modified oxidized alginate (OSA) via the highly efficient Schiff base reaction and multifarious physical interactions in mild conditions. On the basis of the rigid backbones and excellent biocompatibility of these two natural polysaccharides, the composite hydrogel demonstrated favorable morphology, easy injectability, good mechanical strength and tissue adhesiveness, low swelling ratio, long-term sustainable KGN release, and facilitated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell activity, which could simultaneously provide the mechanical and biological supports to promote chondrogenic differentiation and repair the articular cartilage defects. Therefore, we believe this work can offer a designable consideration and potential alternative candidate for cartilage and other soft tissue implants.

Abstract
This study attempted to determine the best point of basil seed oxidation by applying response surface methodology (RSM) with 3 factors of temperature (35-45 °C), pH (3-7) as well as time (3-7 h), at 3 levels. The produced dialdehyde basil seed gum (DBSG) was collected and its physicochemical properties were determined. Fitting of quadratic, linear polynomial equations was subsequently done by considering the insignificant lack of fit, as well as highly considerable R2, in order to probe the probable relationship existing between these considered variables as well as the obtained responses. So the considered optimal related test conditions, which included pH = 3, T = 45 °C as well as Time = 3 h, were specified to produce the highest percentage of aldehyde (DBSG32), optimal (DBSG34) and the (DBSG74) samples with the highest viscosity. The results obtained by FTIR and aldehyde content determination provided the indication that dialdehyde groups were formed in a way that was in equilibrium with the considered the hemiacetal form which was dominant. Furthermore, AFM investigation related to the considered DBSG34 sample displayed over-oxidation as well as depolymerization; this might be due to the enhanced hydrophobic qualities, as well as the decreased viscosity. While the DBSG34 sample had the most dialdehyde factor group with a particular tendency for the combination having the proteins' amino group, DBSG32 and DBSG74 samples could be desirable for industrial uses owing to no overoxidation.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer assembled multilayer films have shown great potential for different applications owing to their responsive behavior. Herein, we systematically investigated the effects of composition, salt concentration, and ion specificity on the pH responsiveness of covalently crosslinked chitosan and alginate dialdehyde multilayer films. The changes in film swelling were measured using ellipsometry from low (0.01 mM) to high (3 M) salt (NaCl or NaSCN) concentrations at pH 3, 6, and 9. The swelling responses to increasing ionic strength matched the swelling responses observed for polyzwitterionic and weak monocomponent polyelectrolyte films and depended on the multilayer composition, pH, and ion specificity. Finally, we used the ellipsometric data to demonstrate that the pH responsiveness of such multilayer films, as measured using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, strongly depends on the ionic condition under which the responses were measured. We thus show that erroneous conclusions about the pH responsiveness of polyelectrolyte multilayer films can be easily obtained if the ionic environment of the application does not closely resemble the ionic condition under which the pH responsiveness is tested.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin cross-linked succinoglycan dialdehyde hydrogels was prepared for hydrophobic drug delivery. Succinoglycan dialdehyde (SGDA) was synthesized from sodium periodate oxidation of succinoglycan isolated from Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021. Aminoethylcarbamoyl-β-cyclodextrin (ACD) was crosslinked with SGDA to form a succinoglycan dialdehyde/aminoethylcarbamoyl-β-cyclodextrin (SGDA/ACD) hydrogels. The SGDA/ACD hydrogels exhibited a 65.7 % improvement in storage modulus (G') and a 5.7-fold higher compressive strain than the SGDA/poly(ethylene glycol) diamine (PEG) hydrogels as controls. A hardly soluble drug, baicalein was used for the drug loading and release properties of SGDA/ACD hydrogels. Baicalein was released about 98 % within 48 h at pH 7.4, but not completely released even after 48 h at pH 2.0. In addition, at pH 7.4, only about 56 % of the baicalein loaded on the SGDA/PEG hydrogels was released within 48 h, while about 98 % of the baicalein loaded on the SGDA/ACD hydrogels was released within 48 h. It indicates that ACD significantly improved the solubilization efficacy of the baicalein. In vitro testing of cell viability using HEK-293 cells also showed that the SGDA/ACD hydrogels were suitable for the cells. In conclusion, SGDA/ACD hydrogels significantly enhance the utilization of baicalein and provide potential applications in drug delivery systems for hardly soluble drugs.

Synthesis of oxidized sodium alginate and its electrospun bio-hybrids with zinc oxide nanoparticles to promote wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 232:123480. [PMID: 36720331 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Electrospun fibers provide a promising platform for wound healing; however, they lack requisite characteristics for wound repair, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and angiogenic ability. Sodium alginate (SA) is being used for different types of applications. However, the poor spinnability of SA restricts its applications. The objectives of this study were three-fold: a) to synthesize oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) to improve its spinnability, b) to fabricate composite fibrous membranes by blending OSA along with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), and c) to decipher antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as well as biocompatibility of membranes in vitro and in vivo. OSA displaying different oxidation degrees (Dox (%)) was synthesized by varying the molar ratio of sodium periodate to SA. OSA (Dox, ∼48 %) afforded smooth and uniform fibers; 0.5 wt% of adipic dihydrazide (ADH) evolved into structurally stable and water-insoluble membranes. Composite fibrous membranes containing 2 wt% of ZnO-NPs displayed good biocompatibility and bactericidal effect against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in vitro. In addition, composite membranes showed remarkable epithelialization, neovascularization, and anti-inflammatory response than that of the membranes devoid of ZnO-NPs. Conclusively, these composite fibrous membranes may have broad implications for wound healing applications.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2023; 58:369-381.

Abstract
This work investigated the synthesis and characterization of alginate/starch porous materials and their application as copper ions adsorbents from aqueous media. Initially, pregel aqueous solutions with different biopolymer concentrations (1, 3, and 5% w/w) and alginate contents (25, 50, and 75% w/w) were prepared. Hydrogel formation was performed by internal and external gelation methods. Finally, the drying step was done via CO2sc leading to aerogels and via freeze-drying leading to cryogels. Process parameters influence on the final properties of materials was evaluated by BET isotherms, SEM, EDS, and TGA. Regardless the gelation method applied, interesting materials with meso- and macro-pore structure were prepared from pregel mixtures with 3% w/w biopolymer concentration and an alginate content of only 25% w/w. Low alginate content reduces the final cost of the materials. Concerning copper removal, the adsorption data were well fitted to the pseudo-second order kinetic model for aerogels and cryogels, showing aerogels the highest adsorption capacity (40 mg/g) and removal efficiency (∼ 92%). Materials demonstrated excellent reusability throughout five consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles. Hence, environmentally friendly materials with a high practical value as low-cost bioadsorbents were synthesized, having great performance in the removal of copper ions from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Gellan gum (GG) is a biodegradable polysaccharide and forms thermosensitive hydrogels by a helix-mediated mechanism. Unfortunately, the wide use of GG in tissue engineering has been restricted due to its dramatically higher gelation temperature than normal body temperature. Here, we show that partial sulfation of GG affords a cytocompatible body temperature-responsive hydrogel with an interesting thermoreversibility at 42 °C. The partial sulfation of GG was confirmed by FTIR, EDX and elemental analyses. The sulfated GGs (SGGs) had a higher swelling ratio and degradation in PBS compared to the neat GG. Based on the results of rheometry analysis, the SGG with a degree of sulfation of 0.27 (H3 sample) showed a gelation temperature close to the physiological temperature. In addition, the drop in mechanical properties of SGGs was compensated by a further calcium-mediated ionic crosslinking, where Young's modulus of H3 increased from 10.6 ± 1.9 kPa up to 38.4 ± 5.5 kPa. Finally, we showed that the partial sulfation reaction of GG is a simple and mild strategy to modify chemical structure of GG, and to produce a cytocompatible, body temperature-responsive hydrogel compared to other modifying reactions such as oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Alginate dialdehyde and l-lysine-functionalized alginate dialdehyde were prepared to provide active aldehyde and l-lysine sites along the alginate backbone, respectively. Different concentrations of substrates and the reduction agent were added, and their influence on the degree of l-lysine substitution was evaluated. An amination reduction reaction (with l-lysine) was conducted on alginate dialdehyde with a 31% degree of oxidation. The NMR confirmed the presence of l-lysine functionality with the degree of substitution of 20%. The structural change of the polymer was observed via FTIR spectroscopy, confirming the formation of Schiff base covalent linkage after the crosslinking. The additional l-lysine sites on functionalized alginate dialdehyde provide more crosslinking sites on the hydrogel, which leads to a higher modulus storage rate than in the original alginate dialdehyde. This results in dynamic covalent bonds, which are attributed to the alginate derivative-gelatin hydrogels with shear-thinning and self-healing properties. The results suggested that the concentration and stoichiometric ratio of alginate dialdehyde, l-lysine-functionalized alginate dialdehyde, and gelatin play a fundamental role in the hydrogel's mechanical properties.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infection is the most frequent wound complication, which has become a major clinical and healthcare challenge in wound management worldwide, leading to impaired healing processes, the risk of amputation, and even death. Here, collagen-based nanocomposite dressings (APZC) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity are developed to promote the infected full-thickness wound healing. Short rod-like shaped ZnO NPs are synthesized and then coated with polydopamine (PDA) to obtain PDA coated ZnO NPs (PDA@ZnO NPs). Afterward, PDA@ZnO NPs are conjugated on the backbone of a collagen chain, and the obtained collagen-PDA@ZnO NPs conjugate is crosslinked by dialdehyde sodium alginate to fabricate APZC dressings. PDA@ZnO NPs show well dispersibility and are uniformly incorporated into the collagen matrix. APZC dressings have interconnected microporous structure and great physicochemical properties, besides good blood coagulation performance and well cytocompatibility. APZC dressings demonstrate long-lasting and excellently broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, which can relieve the inflammatory reaction by killing pathogenic bacteria and induce the generation of blood vessels and the orderly deposition of collagen in the wound site, thus promoting infected full-thickness wound healing without obvious scar formation. Overall, the functionalized collagen-based nanocomposite dressings have great potential in the clinical treatment against bacteria-associated wound infection.

Abstract
Self-regulated insulin delivery that mimics native pancreas function has been a long-term goal for diabetes therapies. Two approaches towards this goal are glucose-responsive insulin delivery and islet cell transplantation therapy. Here, biodegradable, partially oxidized alginate carriers for glucose-responsive nanoparticles or islet cells are developed. Material composition and formulation are tuned in each of these contexts to enable glycemic control in diabetic mice. For injectable, glucose-responsive insulin delivery, 0.5 mm 2.5% oxidized alginate microgels facilitate repeat dosing and consistently provide 10 days of glycemic control. For islet cell transplantation, 1.5 mm capsules comprised of a blend of unoxidized and 2.5% oxidized alginate maintain cell viability and glycemic control over a period of more than 2 months while reducing the volume of nondegradable material implanted. These data show the potential of these biodegradable carriers for controlled drug and cell delivery for the treatment of diabetes with limited material accumulation in the event of multiple doses.

Abstract
The regeneration of articular cartilage remains a great challenge due to the difficulty in effectively enhancing spontaneous healing. Recently, the combination of implanted stem cells, suitable biomaterials and bioactive molecules has attracted attention for tissue regeneration. In this study, a novel injectable nanocomposite was rationally designed as a sustained release platform for enhanced cartilage regeneration through integration of a chitosan-based hydrogel, articular cartilage stem cells (ACSCs) and mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles loaded with anhydroicaritin (AHI). The biocompatible engineered nanocomposite acting as a novel 3D biomimetic extracellular matrix exhibited a remarkable sustained release effect due to the synergistic regulation of the organic hydrogel framework and mesopore channels of inorganic mSiO2 nanoparticles (mSiO2 NPs). Histological assessment and biomechanical tests showed that the nanocomposites exhibited superior performance in inducing ACSCs proliferation and differentiation in vitro and promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) production and cartilage regeneration in vivo. Such a novel multifunctional biocompatible platform was demonstrated to significantly enhance cartilage regeneration based on the sustained release of AHI, an efficient bioactive natural small molecule for ACSCs chondrogenesis, within the hybrid matrix of hydrogel and mSiO2 NPs. Hence, the injectable nanocomposite holds great promise for use as a 3D biomimetic extracellular matrix for tissue regeneration in clinical diagnostics. The anhydroicaritin (AHI) was identified as a bioactive factor for promoting cartilage repair. The hydrogel was designed to achieve sustained AHI release and optimize the microenvironment of cartilage defect sites. The hydrogel exhibited superior advantages for chondrogenic differentiation and cartilage regeneration. The hydrogel holds a great promise for use as functional scaffold for tissue and organ regeneration in the future.

Abstract
438Severe skin injuries can cause serious problems, which could affect the patient's normal life, if not dealt properly in a timely and effective manner. It is an urgent requirement to develop personalized wound dressings with excellent antibacterial activity and biocompatibility to match the shape of the wound to facilitate clinical application. In this study, a bioink (GAQ) based on gelatin (Gel)/sodium alginate (SA)/ quaternized chitosan (QCS) was prepared, and GAQ hydrogel dressing grafting with dopamine (GADQ) was fabricated by an extrusion three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. QCS was synthesized by modifying quaternary ammonium group on chitosan, and its structure was successfully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Our results showed that the GADQ hydrogel dressing that was double-crosslinked by EDC/ NHS and Ca2+ had good tensile strength, considerable swelling ratio, and effective antioxidation properties. It also showed that GADQ1.5% had 93.17% and 91.06% antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Furthermore, the relative survival ratios of fibroblast cells seeded on these hydrogels exceeded 350% after cultured for 7 days, which proved the biocompatibility of these hydrogels. Overall, this advanced 3D-printed GADQ1.5% hydrogels with effective antioxidation, excellent antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility had a considerable application potential for wound healing.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides are a kind of natural polysaccharides which isolated and extracted from marine organisms. Now some marine polysaccharides, such as chitosan, sodium alginate and agar, have been proven to exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant functions and biocompatibility, which are often used to preserve food or improve the physicochemical properties of food. However, they still have the defects of unsatisfactory preservation effect and biological activity, which can be remedied by its modification. Chemical modification is the most effective of all modification methods. The advances in common chemical modification methods of chitosan, sodium alginate, agar and other marine polysaccharides and research progress of modified products in food processing and preservation were summarized, and the influence of additional reaction conditions on the existence of chemical modification sites of polysaccharides was discussed.

[PMID: 36395937 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is one of the most effective approaches for the minimally invasive treatment of early gastrointestinal cancers. Submucosal injections help safely and successfully remove lesions during ESD by elevating the mucosa and separating the submucosal muscle layer. Herein, we report dynamic injectable sodium alginate hydrogels (ISAHs) with shear-thinning for ESD surgery, which were easily fabricated by the sulfhydryl group of GSH-modified sodium alginate (SA-GSH) reacting with the aldehyde group of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) at room temperature. ISAHs have advantageous self-healing abilities and antioxidant activity. Additionally, according to an in vitro test on porcine colorectal submucosal lifting, the submucosal elevation heights created by ISAHs were 13 % -18 % greater than those created by commercial ESD solutions (0.4 w/v% sodium hyaluronate). These properties and biocompatibility were confirmed in vitro and in vivo experiments. ISAHs will hopefully become a novel submucosal injectable hydrogel to assist ESD surgery.

In this study, a hydrogel composite wound dressing with antibacterial and self-healing ability was prepared using cysteine-modified carboxymethyl chitosan, sodium oxidized alginate, and but-3-yn-2-one base on Schiff base and thiol-alkynone double cross-links. The structure and properties of the hydrogel were characterized by scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared, and rheological test, followed by antibacterial and in vivo biocompatibility tests. The results showed that the hydrogel exhibited good self-healing, mechanical properties, good antibacterial effect, and in vivo biocompatibility, and can inhibit inflammation and promote skin tissue regeneration in mice. This novel self-healing hydrogel dressing has a broad application prospect in skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Although sodium alginate possesses excellent biocompatibility, moisture retention and easy availability, it cannot be directly applied for infected wound treatment. Herein, a solid phase synthesis strategy was proposed to fabricate oxidized sodium alginate-tobramycin conjugate (OSA-TOB) for anti-infection dressing development. 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra indicated that the oxidization process does not change the ratio of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) / α-L-guluronic acid (G) in OSA and the oxidization reaction shows no stereoselectivity. Elemental analysis disclosed that the graft ratio of tobramycin in OSA-TOB is 13.8 %. Antibacterial test indicated that OSA-TOB can effectively inhibit four prevalent pathogenic bacterial S.epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and E. coli via a different antibacterial mechanism compared to the original TOB. Hemolysis and cytotoxicity assays shown that OSA-TOB have superior hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. Infected wound healing assay shown that the healing rate of OSA-TOB is the highest. Further analysis indicated that OSA-TOB can reduce the local inflammatory response, accelerate the form of epithelium and collagen deposition. In conclusions, OSA-TOB synthesized in solid phase can be potentially applied as a promising anti-infection wound dressing.

Abstract
Oxidized sucrose (OS) is a bio-based cross-linking agent with excellent biological safety and environmental non-toxicity. However, the precise structure of OS has not been elucidated owing to its structural complexity and low purity. Accordingly, in this study, complete chemical shift assignments were performed by applying various nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, which permitted the structural and quantitative characterization of the two main OS products, each of which contained four aldehyde groups. In addition, we investigated the use of OS as a cross-linking agent in the preparation of a hydrogel from carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), one of the most popular polysaccharides for use in biomedical applications. The primary amine groups of CMC were immediately cross-linked with the aldehyde groups of OS to form hydrogels without the requirement for a catalyst. It was found that the degree of cross-linking could be easily controlled by the feed amount of OS during CMC hydrogel preparation and the final cross-linking degree affected the thermal, swelling, and rheological properties of the obtained hydrogel. The results presented in this study are therefore expected to be applicable in the preparation of fully carbohydrate-based hydrogels for medical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
This study utilized extrusion-based 3D printing technology to fabricate calcium-cross-linked alginate dialdehyde-gelatin scaffolds for bone regeneration. The surface of polymeric constructs was modified with mussel-derived polydopamine (PDA) in order to induce biomineralization, increase hydrophilicity, and enhance cell interactions. Microscopic observations revealed that the PDA layer homogeneously coated the surface and did not appear to induce any distinct change in the microstructure of the scaffolds. The PDA-functionalized scaffolds were more mechanically stable (compression strength of 0.69 ± 0.02 MPa) and hydrophilic (contact angle of 26) than non-modified scaffolds. PDA-decorated ADA-GEL scaffolds demonstrated greater durability. As result of the 18-days immersion in simulated body fluid solution, the PDA-coated scaffolds showed satisfactory biomineralization. Based on theoretical energy analysis, it was shown that the scaffolds coated with PDA interact spontaneously with osteocalcin and osteomodulin (binding energy values of −35.95 kJ mol−1 and −46.39 kJ mol−1, respectively), resulting in the formation of a protein layer on the surface, suggesting applications in bone repair. PDA-coated ADA-GEL scaffolds are capable of supporting osteosarcoma MG-63 cell adhesion, viability (140.18% after 7 days), and proliferation. In addition to increased alkaline phosphatase secretion, osteoimage intensity also increased, indicating that the scaffolds could potentially induce bone regeneration. As a consequence, the present results confirm that 3D printed PDA-coated scaffolds constitute an intriguing novel approach for bone tissue engineering.

Self-Crosslinkable Oxidized Alginate-Carboxymethyl Chitosan Hydrogels as an Injectable Cell Carrier for In Vitro Dental Enamel Regeneration. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13020071. [PMID: 35735926 PMCID: PMC9225469 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13020071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Injectable hydrogels, as carriers, offer great potential to incorporate cells or growth factors for dental tissue regeneration. Notably, the development of injectable hydrogels with appropriate structures and properties has been a challenging task, leaving much to be desired in terms of cytocompatibility, antibacterial and self-healing properties, as well as the ability to support dental stem cell functions. This paper presents our study on the development of a novel self-cross-linkable hydrogel composed of oxidized alginate and carboxymethyl chitosan and its characterization as a cell carrier for dental enamel regeneration in vitro. Oxidized alginate was synthesized with 60% theoretical oxidation degree using periodate oxidation and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Then, hydrogels were prepared at three varying weight ratios of oxidized alginate to carboxymethyl chitosan (4:1, 3:1, and 2:1) through Schiff base reactions, which was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The hydrogels were characterized in terms of gelation time, swelling ratio, structure, injectability, self-healing, antibacterial properties, and in vitro characterization for enamel regeneration. The results demonstrated that, among the three hydrogels examined, the one with the highest ratio of oxidized alginate (i.e., 4:1) had the fastest gelation time and the lowest swelling ability, and that all hydrogels were formed with highly porous structures and were able to be injected through a 20-gauge needle without clogging. The injected hydrogels could be rapidly reformed with the self-healing property. The hydrogels also showed antibacterial properties against two cariogenic bacteria: Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. For in vitro enamel regeneration, a dental epithelial cell line, HAT-7, was examined, demonstrating a high cell viability in the hydrogels during injection. Furthermore, HAT-7 cells encapsulated in the hydrogels showed alkaline phosphatase production and mineral deposition, as well as maintaining their round morphology, after 14 days of in vitro culture. Taken together, this study has provided evidence that the oxidized alginate-carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogels could be used as an injectable cell carrier for dental enamel tissue engineering applications.
