Zusammenfassung:Although injectable hydrogel microsphere has demonstrated tremendous promise in clinical applications, local overactive inflammation in degenerative diseases could jeopardize biomaterial implantation’s therapeutic efficacy. Herein, an injectable “peptide-cell-hydrogel” microsphere was constructed by covalently coupling of APETx2 and further loading of nucleus pulposus cells, which could inhibit local inflammatory cytokine storms to regulate the metabolic balance of ECM in vitro. The covalent coupling of APETx2 preserved the biocompatibility of the microspheres and achieved a controlled release of APETx2 for more than 28 days in an acidic environment. By delivering “peptide-cell-hydrogel” microspheres to a rat degenerative intervertebral disc at 4 weeks, the expression of ASIC-3 and IL-1β was significantly decreased for 3.53-fold and 7.29-fold, respectively. Also, the content of ECM was significantly recovered at 8 weeks. In summary, the proposed strategy provides an effective approach for tissue regeneration under overactive inflammatory responses.
