Popis: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are employed as a promising alternative in treating cartilage injury. Regulating the inflammatory “fingerprint” of ADSCs to improve their anti-inflammatory properties could enhance therapy efficiency. Herein, a novel injectable decorin/gellan gum hydrogel combined with ADSCs encapsulation for arthritis cartilage treatment is proposed. Decorin/gellan gum hydrogel was prepared according to the previous manufacturing protocol. The liquid–solid form transition of gellan gum hydrogel is perfectly suitable for intra-articular injection. Decorin-enriched matrix showing an immunomodulatory ability to enhance ADSCs anti-inflammatory phenotype under inflammation microenvironment by regulating autophagy signaling. This decorin/gellan gum/ADSCs hydrogel efficiently reverses interleukin-1β-induced cellular injury in chondrocytes. Through a mono-iodoacetate-induced arthritis mice model, the synergistic therapeutic effect of this ADSCs-loaded hydrogel, including inflammation attenuation and cartilage protection, is demonstrated. These results make the decorin/gellan gum hydrogel laden with ADSCs an ideal candidate for treating inflammatory joint disorders.
