Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration, synovitis, and osteoid formation. In order to effectively treat OA, it is important to block the harmful feedback caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during joint wear. To address this challenge, we have developed injectable nanocomposite hydrogels composed of polygallate-Mn (PGA-Mn) nanoparticles, oxidized sodium alginate, and gelatin. The inclusion of PGA-Mn not only enhances the mechanical strength of the biohydrogel through a Schiff base reaction with gelatin but also ensures efficient ROS scavenging ability. Importantly, the nanocomposite hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility, allowing it to effectively remove ROS from chondrocytes and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors within the joint. Additionally, the hygroscopic properties of the hydrogel contribute to reduced intra-articular friction and promote the production of cartilage-related proteins, supporting cartilage synthesis. In vivo experiments involving the injection of nanocomposite hydrogels into rat knee joints with an OA model have demonstrated successful reduction of osteophyte formation and protection of cartilage from wear, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this approach for treating OA. |
