Incorporating active components into hydrogel matrices enhances their suitability for biomedical applications. In this study, we investigated the integration of l-proline, a nonessential imino acid with largely unexplored roles in living systems, into alginate dialdehyde-gelatin hydrogel for wound healing purposes. Physicochemical properties of the resulting hydrogel film, termed ADAGLP, were meticulously evaluated, including wound healing efficacy in vitro and anti-biofilm activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis provided insights into the interaction between l-proline and ADAG. Films incorporating 0.5% l-proline were selected for comprehensive investigation. Comparative analysis revealed prolonged gelation time and increased water holding capacity of ADAGLP compared to ADAG films. Moreover, ADAGLP exhibited a significantly higher degradation rate (69.5 ± 3.2%) compared to ADAG (35.2 ± 1.6%). Remarkably, ADAGLP demonstrated cyto-compatibility, non-toxicity, and facilitated migration to the scratch area in vitro conditions. Notably, it exhibited potent anti-biofilm properties. Our findings suggest that ADAGLP hydrogel holds promise as a biomaterial for wound care, offering prolonged drug delivery and maintaining optimal moisture levels in wound areas. The incorporation of l-proline in the wound microenvironment may contribute to enhanced tissue remodeling, by inhibiting biofilm formation, further highlighting the potential of this hydrogel system in wound healing applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":15138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomaterials Applications","volume":" ","pages":"473-483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142046737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the mechanical and structural discrepancies between the target bone and implants, the poor internal architecture design and difficulty in degradation of conventional bone implants may cause several adverse outcomes. To date, many scaffolds, such as 3-D printed sandwich structures, have been successfully developed for the repair of bone defects; however, the steps of these methods are complex and costly. Hydrogels have emerged as a unique scaffold material for repairing bone defects because of their good biocompatibility and excellent physicochemical properties. However, studies exploring bioinspired hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical structures are scarce. More efforts are needed to incorporate bioinspired structures into hydrogel scaffolds to achieve optimal osteogenic properties. In this study, we developed a low-cost and easily available hydrogel matrix that mimicked the natural structure of the bone's porous sandwich to promote new bone growth and tissue integration. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on the microstructure, swelling rate, and mechanical properties of this hydrogel. Furthermore, a 3D finite element analysis was employed to model the structure-property relationship.

The substitution of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride demonstrated increased injectability, but did not affect mechanical properties. The mechanical properties increased with time, as expected, and, in general, E9-based GPCs displayed significantly higher strengths over E11-based GPCs. With respect to ion release, which includes calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), zinc (Zn) and silicon (Si); all ions displayed a steady and consistent increased release over time. Ca and Sr showed similar ion release patterns, whereby the GPC made with E11 PAA and lidocaine hydrochloride released significantly more ions than all other compositions likely due to similar chemical kinetics. However, Zn is also divalent in nature, but displayed only one significant difference across the GPC series at all time points, which was attributed to its higher electronegativity allowing for increased participation in the setting reaction. Finally, an analysis of the pH confirmed an increase in pH with time, suggesting that H⁺ ions were attacking the glass structure to allow for ion release.
