Abstract

Abstract Loading hydrogels with bioactive agents is an important method for expanding the functional application of hydrogels. However, how to improve the local administration and slow release of drugs from a hydrogel is a challenge when using hydrogels loaded with drugs. In this paper, we first developed adhesive liposomes (A-LIP) loaded with BMP-2. Then, we incorporated the A-LIP into PEG hydrogels based on the coordinated cross-linking principle of SH-PEG and Ag+, fabricating an injectable, antibacterial and self-healing multifunctional drug delivery system. The adhesive lipo-hydrogel (A-LIP-PEG) fabricated by mixing PEG hydrogels and adhesive liposomes can be locally injected into an osteoporotic fracture and bone marrow cavity, where A-LIP-PEG can release adhesive liposomes that adhere to the bone injury area and promote bone reconstruction. Based on the principle of electrostatic attraction, tissue nonspecific A-LIP were fabricated by grafting octadecylamine onto liposomes. Because of the coordination and cross-linking of thiolated polyethylene (SH-PEG) and Ag+, the A-LIP-PEG showed excellent injectability and self-healing properties; further, because of the presence of Ag+, the A-LIP-PEG showed effective inhibition of S. aureus and Escherichia coli. The liposomes released by the A-LIP-PEG were able to adhere to tissue. In vitro studies showed that A-LIP-PEG significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation and had no significant effect on cell proliferation. Compared with common lipo-hydrogel (LIP-PEG), the A-LIP-PEG had better tissue adhesion in vivo, which led to better osteogenic differentiation and faster local bone remodeling of osteoporotic fractures in rats. This research developed a novel hydrogel system with adhesive liposomes to expand the application of hydrogels.
