Abstract

We developed insulin loaded biomimetic microsphere by laccase-mediated crosslinking using a microfluidic device in the water-in-oil emulsion system as an injectable vehicle for the repair of sciatic tissue. Aqueous polymeric solution of phenol-substituted hyaluronic acid (HAPh) and collagen (ColPh) containing insulin and laccase flowed from the inner channel into oil flow within an outer channel which leads formation of hydrogel microsphere. The physical properties of prepared specimens including swelling rate, mechanical resistance and the prolonged release rate of microspheres proved applicability of fabricated vehicles for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. The growth profile and behavior of cells in microspheres indicated cytocompatibility of the method and prepared vehicles for microtissue development. Histopathological examination revealed a significant increase in axonal regeneration, and remyelination process in injured sciatic nerve following treatment with HAPh/ColPh microspheres containing insulin compared to control groups. Also, the functional characteristic of sciatic tissue showed that the presence of biomimetic microsphere and insulin simultaneously had improved sciatic tissue functions including functional sciatic index (SFI) values, reaction to hot plate and muscle weight of rats. In summary, the results proved that composite biomimetic microspheres containing insulin effectively improved nerve regeneration in the rat model. © 2022
