Description

Suspension printing support material for supporting cell growth and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological materials, and particularly relates to a suspension printing support material for supporting cell growth, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The 3D printing technology is used as a tissue engineering technology, and takes living cells and biological base materials as raw materials on the basis of 3D printing, so that the positioning of the biological materials, living cells, functional components and the like in each layer is accurately controlled, and the 3D bracket which can be used for transplanting is formed by printing layer by layer.
Currently, the main technologies for biomaterial accumulation and formation are inkjet printing, micro-extrusion printing, and photo-assisted printing. The heating nozzle of the temperature-controlled ink-jet printer can enable the nozzle to generate pulse air pressure to print out liquid drops, and the acoustic printer generates pulse pressing through piezoelectric type or ultrasonic type; micro-extrusion printers use pneumatic or mechanical drive systems to extrude continuous pellets or wire containing material and cells; light assisted printing utilizes light focused on an energy absorbing substrate to provide a driving force for printing biological materials; printing of vascularized structures with spatially defined features is difficult with the printing methods described above, and there are currently the following problems for constructing large scale hierarchy vascularized organs: (1) The construction material of the hierarchical blood vessel needs to be compatible with cell compatibility (especially supporting self-assembly based on endothelial cell micro-vascular network) and engineering plasticity; (2) The printing time of the large-scale organ is long, and the survival of cells cannot be supported; (3) The large-scale vascularized organ comprises a tissue structure and a vascular structure, and at least two levels of different tissue structures exist, and the current printing technology is difficult to realize multi-level construction.
Suspension 3D printing is to use suspension medium material to provide support, to extrude liquid phase material from a syringe into a support bath, and to shape a support with a complex 3D structure. The principle of operation of suspended 3D printing technology requires that the ink material must gel into filaments rapidly without spreading. The technology improves the forming stability of the 3D biological printing ink with weak mechanical strength in the printing process without additionally providing a printing support structure. The currently commonly used suspension medium materials are mainly gelatin microparticles, the size and uniformity of the microparticles directly influence the printing precision, and the preparation process of the supporting bath is complex. CN114854042a discloses a suspension medium for suspending 3D bioprinting, and a preparation method and application thereof; the suspension medium provided by the invention comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0-10% of gellan gum, 0-10% of sulfhydrylation gellan gum and the balance of solvent; and the content of the gellan gum and the sulfhydrylation gellan gum is different and zero; the suspension medium provided by the invention has good thixotropic property and self-repairing capability, so that the spray head of the 3D biological printer can freely move in the suspension medium, and meanwhile, the integrity of a 3D biological printing structure can be maintained; the problem that natural polymer materials such as collagen, fibrin and the like can not realize self-supporting printing in the traditional printing is solved; however, the suspension medium provided by the invention has poor biocompatibility and cannot support cell production.
Therefore, in view of the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop a suspension printing support material that is excellent in mechanical properties and supports cell growth.
