- Abstract
- © 2022 Acta Materialia Inc.Generally, brain angiogenesis is a tightly regulated process, which scarcely occurred in the absence of specific pathological conditions. Delivery of exogenous angiogenic factors enables the induction of desired angiogenesis by stimulating neovasculature formation. However, effective strategies of mimicking the angiogenesis process with exogenous factors have not yet been fully explored. Herein, we develop a 3D printed spatiotemporally compartmentalized cerebral angiogenesis inducing (SCAI) hydrogel patch, releasing dual angiogenic growth factors (GFs), using extracellular matrix-based hybrid inks. We introduce a new hybrid biomaterial-based ink for printing patches through dual crosslinking mechanisms: Chemical crosslinking with aza-Michael addition reaction with combining methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) and vascular-tissue-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (VdECM), and thermal crosslinking of VdECM. 3D printing technology, a useful approach with fabrication versatility with customizable systems and multiple biomaterials, is adopted to print three-layered hydrogel patch with spatially separated dual GFs as outer- and inner-layers that provide tunable release profiles of multiple GFs and fabrication versatility. Consequently, these layers of the patch spatiotemporally separated with dual GFs induce excellent neovascularization in the brain area, monitored by label-free photoacoustic microscopy in vivo. The developed multi-GFs releasing patch may offer a promising therapeutic approach of spatiotemporal drugs releasing such as cerebral ischemia, ischemic heart diseases, diabetes, and even use as vaccines. Statement of significance: Effective strategies of mimicking the angiogenesis process with exogenous factors have not yet been fully explored. In this study, we develop a 3D printed spatiotemporally compartmentalized cerebral angiogenesis inducing (SCAI) hydrogel patch, releasing dual angiogenic growth factors (GFs) using extracellular matrix-based hybrid inks.
