Abstract
Articular cartilage damage represents a prevalent clinical disease in orthopedics, with its regeneration and repair constituting a central focus in ongoing research endeavors. While hydrogel technology has achieved notable progress in the field of cartilage regeneration, addressing the repair of larger cartilage defects remains a significant and formidable challenge. In pursuit of achieving the repair of extensive cartilage defects, this study designed a polydopamine-modified chondroitin sulfate hydrogel loaded with SDF-1α (P-SCMA). This hydrogel, capable of directly providing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), served as a platform for carrying growth factors and attracting mesenchymal stem cells for the in situ reconstruction of extensive cartilage defects. The results indicate that the P-SCMA hydrogel is capable of not only directly providing GAGs but also sustainably releasing SDF-1α. In the early stages, it promotes cell adhesion and proliferation and induces cell homing, while in the later stages, it further induces chondrogenesis by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This bioactive hydrogel, which possesses the functions of providing GAGs, promoting cell proliferation, inducing cell homing and chondrogenesis, is capable of promoting cartilage repair in multiple ways, providing new perspectives for the repair of extensive cartilage defects.
