Meniscus regeneration with injectable Pluronic/PMMA-reinforced fibrin hydrogels in a rabbit segmental meniscectomy model
Injectable hydrogel systems are a facile approach to apply to the damaged meniscus in a minimally invasive way. We herein developed a clinically applicable and injectable semi-interpenetrated network (semi-IPN) hydrogel system based on fibrin (Fb), reinforced with Pluronic F127 (F127) and polymethyl...

Injectable hydrogel systems are a facile approach to apply to the damaged meniscus in a minimally invasive way. We herein developed a clinically applicable and injectable semi-interpenetrated network (semi-IPN) hydrogel system based on fibrin (Fb), reinforced with Pluronic F127 (F127) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), to improve the intrinsic weak mechanical properties. Through the dual-syringe device system, the hydrogel could form a gel state within about 50 s, and the increment of compressive modulus of Fb hydrogels was achieved by adding F127 from 3.0% (72.0 ± 4.3 kPa) to 10.0% (156.0 ± 9.8 kPa). The shear modulus was enhanced by adding PMMA microbeads (26.0 ± 1.1 kPa), which was higher than Fb (13.5 ± 0.5 kPa) and Fb/F127 (21.7 ± 0.8 kPa). Moreover, the addition of F127 and PMMA also delayed the rate of enzymatic biodegradation of Fb hydrogel. Finally, we confirmed that both Fb/F127 and Fb/F127/PMMA hydrogels showed accelerated tissue repair in the in vivo segmental defect of the rabbit meniscus model.
