Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue engineering offers a therapeutic approach for intervertebral disc regeneration.
  • Developing injectable biomaterials is crucial for NP regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and evaluate novel injectable peptide hydrogels for NP tissue engineering.
  • To assess the bioactivity, degradation, and tissue response of functionalized peptide scaffolds.

Main Methods:

  • Conjugating BMP7-derived peptides to self-assembling peptide RADA16-I to create RAD-SNV, RAD-KPS, and RAD-KAI.
  • Evaluating in vitro bioactivity on human degenerated NP cells (hdNPCs).
  • Assessing in vivo degradation and tissue reactions of the optimal scaffold.

Main Results:

  • All functionalized peptides formed nanofibrous hydrogel scaffolds.
  • RAD-SNV and RAD-KPS enhanced hdNPC proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion (collagen II, aggrecan, sox-9).
  • RAD-KPS demonstrated superior aggrecan expression and safe in vivo degradation without significant inflammation.

Conclusions:

  • RAD-KPS hydrogels exhibit excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility for NP tissue engineering.
  • RAD-KPS is a promising scaffold for nucleus pulposus regeneration.
  • This injectable biomaterial holds significant potential for treating intervertebral disc degeneration.
