Description

Application of microneedle patch in regulating and controlling mechanical microenvironment of scar tissue
Technical Field
The invention relates to a scar improving technology, in particular to an application of micro-needle sticking to the regulation and control of a mechanical microenvironment of a fibrotic tissue.
Background
Hypertrophic Scarring (HS) is the result of pathological changes in fibrosis of the damaged tissue during repair. The abnormal increase and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (mainly collagen and fibronectin) in the scar group not only increase the tissue hardness, but also increase the mechanical stress in the extracellular matrix and the strength of stress field derived from the extracellular matrix, so that the mechanical force stimulation of fibroblasts is activated to induce the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-beta 1), alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF), the secretion of type I collagen and fibronectin is increased, and the pathological change of fibrosis is further promoted. Conversely, activation of fibroblasts can be inhibited by releasing or reducing mechanical stress, and expression of pro-fibrotic cytokines can be down-regulated. Therefore, regulation of the mechanical microenvironment of scar tissue has become an effective approach to the treatment of hyperplasia.
While treatment regimens such as surgery, stretch garments, laser treatment, massage, etc. have been used to alleviate the scar tissue mechanical microenvironment, they are still far from perfect. For example, z-shaping can effectively distribute the mechanical forces of an incision after scarring, but the incision can result in secondary injury and the potential risk of scarring. The stretch garment can only reduce vascularization and remodel collagen formation over a longer treatment period to achieve an improved aesthetic appearance. Laser destroys disordered collagen by thermal effects, changing the biomechanical environment and ultrastructure of scar tissue, but patients may develop adverse reactions such as bleeding, erythema, purpura and possible ulceration. Furthermore, these methods are highly dependent on the skill of the clinician. To date, a less invasive, convenient and effective treatment for mechanical treatment of hypertrophic scars remains unsolved.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a new choice for improving scars.
The technical scheme of the invention is the application of micro-needle sticking in the regulation of scar tissue mechanical microenvironment.
Specifically, the application is that the microneedle patch negatively regulates and controls the expression of the mechanosensitive gene ANKRD 1.
The invention also provides application of the microneedle patch in preparing a medical article for relieving hypertrophic scar symptoms.
Further, the reduction in hypertrophic scar symptoms is an improvement in scar pigmentation, a reduction in scar stiffness, an increase in scar tissue flexibility, or an increase in scar tissue tensile strength.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the microneedle patch disclosed by the invention is good in biocompatibility, helps loaded drugs to pass through a collagen barrier and be slowly released in scar tissues, and continuously plays an anti-scar role. The microneedle patch has the characteristics of minimally invasive and painless property, is convenient and quick to use, can be used by a patient, and greatly improves the self-management of scar patients. The untreated scar is red and has obvious difference with normal skin; the color of the skin is gradually improved after the microneedle treatment, and is close to the normal skin. After treatment, the hardness of the scar tissue is also reduced by up to 35.3% compared to before treatment. Meanwhile, the ductility of scar tissues is improved, the ultimate tensile stress reaches 7.85 +/-0.78 MPa, and the ultimate tensile stress is increased by 2 times. At the microscopic level, down-regulation of the mechanical force sensitive gene ANKRD rd1 suggests a decrease in mechanical force in the tissue microenvironment.

Microneedle structure design: the array density is 15 x 15 needles/cm2) The needle body is in a four-pyramid shape, the side length of the bottom of the cone is 300 mu m, and the height of the needle body is 1 mm;
preparing a microneedle male die: preparing microneedle male molds with different array densities by using high-strength resin as a base material and adopting 3D printing;
preparing a microneedle female die: cleaning a male mold for 3D printing with deionized water, pouring PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) and a curing agent (mass ratio of 10: 1, w/w) above the male mold, curing at 80 ℃ for 2 hours, and demolding to obtain a microneedle female mold.
And (5) preparing the microneedle patch.
Pretreatment of a mold: cleaning and drying the surface of the PDMS female die by deionized water and isopropanol in sequence;
polymer solution infusion: respectively pouring silk fibroin solution (10 percent, w/v), polylactic acid solution (PLA, 6 percent, w/v) and polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA, 3 percent, w/v) into the processed mould, forcing the polymer solution into a micro-cavity of the mould in a vacuum environment, and then completely drying at 60 ℃;

drying and demolding: drying for 2h at 4 ℃, and demoulding to obtain the microneedle patch made of three materials.
EXAMPLE 2 microneedle patch treatment of hypertrophic scar in rabbit ears
The treatment method comprises the following steps:
disease models: hypertrophic scar of rabbit ear;
the treatment process comprises the following steps: firstly, wiping and disinfecting the local scar with iodine, then pressing and penetrating the sterilized microneedle patches made of three different materials into scar tissues, fixing with an adhesive tape, and keeping for 7-30 days;
grouping: control group (scar without microneedle treatment), microneedle treated group (SF, PLA, PLGA).
(II) treatment effect:
as shown in figure 1, after the micro-needle intervention treatment, the L value (the larger the L value is, the more white the skin is) and the A value (the larger the A value is, the more red the skin is) of the scar tissue part are gradually close to the normal skin, and the untreated scar has obvious difference with the normal skin.
The hardness of the scar tissue is measured by a Shore sclerometer (HT-6510 OO), and the results are shown in figure 2, the hardness of the scar tissue of the microneedle treated group is obviously reduced compared with that of the untreated group, particularly, the hardness of the scar (24.6 +/-3.92 HOO) of the silk fibroin microneedle after the intervention treatment is reduced by 35.3% compared with that of the untreated group (38 +/-2.90 HOO), and the hardness of the normal skin is 17.4 +/-2.14 HOO.
The scar tissue is further sampled and prepared into a dumbbell-shaped sample piece with the effective length of not 1cm for the detection of the tissue biomechanics. A tensile test was conducted on the tissue specimen on a universal material testing machine, the specimen was axially stretched at a rate of 1mm/s until the specimen broke, the maximum stress applied at the time of breaking was recorded, and the tensile strength of the tissue was calculated. As shown in figure 3, the maximum strain of the untreated scar was the lowest, the tensile strength was the lowest, 4.19. + -. 0.45 MPa, while the tensile strength of normal skin was 11.37. + -. 0.88 MPa (p < 0.01). After the microneedle treatment, the ductility of the scar tissue is improved, the ultimate tensile stress of the scar tissue treated by the silk fibroin microneedle reaches 7.85 +/-0.78 MPa, and is increased by 2 times compared with the scar tissue not treated.
Continuously exploring the change of the micro-needle physical intervention on the microenvironment of the scar tissue from the molecular level, and detecting the expression level of a mechanical force sensitive gene ANKRD1 in scar tissue fibroblasts (HSFs) by adopting a western blotting method. The results are shown in fig. 4, where the expression level of ANKRD1 in the scar fibroblasts after treatment with the fibroin microneedle was significantly lower than that of the scar fibroblasts without microneedle treatment. The micro-needle is mainly subjected to physical intervention in the treatment process, so that the interaction of mechanical force between a tissue microenvironment and fibroblasts is blocked, and the mechanical force of the surrounding microenvironment sensed by the fibroblasts is reduced, so that the activation of the fibroblasts is hindered, the generation and deposition of cell matrixes are reduced, and the dynamic change of the conversion from hypertrophic scars to normal tissues is promoted.
