Material properties and cytocompatibility of injectable MMP degradable poly(lactide ethylene oxide fumarate) hydrogel as a carrier for marrow stromal cells.

Abstract：

:Injectable in situ crosslinkable biomaterials seeded with multipotent progenitor cells and coupled with minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are an attractive alternative for treating irregularly shaped osteochondral defects. An in situ crosslinkable poly(lactide-co-ethylene oxide-co-fumarate) (PLEOF) macromer has been developed with ultralow molecular weight poly(L-lactide) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) units linked by fumaryl unit. The PLEOF macromer was crosslinked with the MMP-13 degradable peptide sequence QPQGLAK with acrylate end-groups or the methylene bisacrylamide (BISAM) crosslinker to form enzymatically or hydrolytically degradable hydrogels, respectively. Cell viability of the peptide crosslinker was significantly higher than that of BISAM. The relatively higher molecular weight peptide crosslinker significantly affected the water content and the rate of crosslinking (e.g., sol vs gel fraction). The addition of a small fraction of a highly reactive BISAM crosslinker to the PLEOF/peptide mixture reduced the gelation time and increased the elastic modulus while retaining enzymatic degradability of the hydrogel. Bone marrow stromal (BMS) cells were encapsulated in the peptide crosslinked PLEOF hydrogel; 84% of the encapsulated cells was viable after 1 week of incubation in osteogenic media. The encapsulated BMS cells differentiated to osteoblasts and produced a mineralized matrix, as measured by ALPase activity and calcium content. The degradation rate of the hydrogel depended on the ratio of the peptide to the BISAM crosslinker, MMP-13 concentration, and incubation time. The results demonstrate that the peptide crosslinked PLEOF hydrogel with tunable degradation characteristics is potentially useful as an injectable in situ crosslinkable carrier for bone marrow stromal cells.
