项目摘要

Summary Biomaterial scaffolds represent a promising approach for material-based tissue regeneration. We previously developed microporous annealed particle (MAP) hydrogels - a flowable, microparticle-based hydrogel in which neighboring hydrogel particles are linked in situ to form a porous scaffold that accelerates wound healing. Recently, we found that a relatively simple modification to the crosslinker peptide from L-enantiomer to D- enantiomer resulted in substantial skin regeneration and that this regeneration only occurs when the adaptive immune system is intact. Further investigation revealed that although D-chiral peptides were poor activators of macrophage innate immune signaling, D-chiral peptides within MAP (D-MAP) elicited significant antigen-specific immunity. In this proposal, we will further investigate the ability of our D-MAP material to activate the adaptive immune system and lead to skin tissue regeneration. Aim 1 will focus on further understanding any role of the innate immune system and the ability of MAP scaffold microstructure to dictate macrophage phenotype. Aim 2 will focus on testing our hypothesis that the adaptive immune system is activated by our material and leads to regenerative wound healing. Aim 3 will investigate other biomaterial approaches to present D-peptides and further control immune system activation.

概括生物材料支架代表了基于材料的组织再生的一种有前途的方法。我们之前开发了微孔退火颗粒（MAP）水凝胶 - 一种可流动的、基于微粒的水凝胶，其中相邻的水凝胶颗粒原位连接形成多孔支架，加速伤口愈合。最近，我们发现交联肽从 L-对映体到 D-对映体的相对简单的修饰对映异构体导致大量皮肤再生，并且这种再生仅在适应性免疫系统完好无损。进一步的研究表明，虽然 D-手性肽是较差的激活剂巨噬细胞先天免疫信号，MAP 内的 D-手性肽 (D-MAP) 引发显着的抗原特异性免疫。在本提案中，我们将进一步研究 D-MAP 材料激活自适应能力的能力免疫系统并导致皮肤组织再生。目标 1 将侧重于进一步了解先天免疫系统和 MAP 支架微结构决定巨噬细胞表型的能力。目标2 将重点测试我们的假设，即适应性免疫系统被我们的材料激活并导致伤口再生愈合。目标 3 将研究其他生物材料方法来呈现 D 肽和进一步控制免疫系统的激活。
