Hydrogels injectables et éponges à base de complexe polyélectrolytes (chitosane/polymère de cyclodextrine) pour une application en ingénierie tissulaire osseuse / Injectable hydrogels and sponges based on polyelectrolyte complex (chitosan/ polymer of cyclodextrin) for application in bone tissue engineering

La reparation de defauts osseux par les techniques de l’ingenierie tissulaire osseuse (ITO) est consideree comme une alternative aux greffes conventionnelles. L’objectif de ce projet de these fut de developper des materiaux destines a servir de scaffolds pour le comblement et la regeneration osseuse, ces derniers etant sous la forme d’hydrogels injectables d’une part, et d’eponges, d’autre part. Ces deux types de materiaux ont ete obtenus par melange de chitosane (CHT, cationique), et de polymere de cyclodextrine reticule par l’acide citrique (PCD, anionique), interagissant via des liaisons ioniques et formant des complexes polyélectrolytes. La premiere partie de la these a ete consacree au developpement et caracterisation d’une eponge CHT/PCDs qui a ete chargee avec le facteur de croissance de l’endothelium vasculaire (VEFG) dans le but de favoriser sa vascularisation. Le second volet de la these a eu pour objectif d’optimiser la formulation d’un hydrogel injectable destine a la chirurgie mini-invasive, compose de CHT et de PCD sous sa forme soluble (PCDs) et insoluble (PCDi) [CHT/PCDi/PCDs]. L'etude a ete concentree sur l’optimisation et la caracterisation des proprietes rheologiques de l’hydrogel. Enfin, une etude prospective sur le developpement de l'hydrogel/eponge composite en ajoutant une phase minerale - l'hydroxyapatite (HAp) dans la formulation a ete realisee afin d'ameliorer les proprietes mecaniques et osteoconductrices.L’eponges CHT/PCDs a ratio 3 :3 a ete obtenue par lyophilisation des hydrogels et a subi un traitement thermique (TT) afin d’ameliorer leur stabilite par la formation des liaisons covalentes. L’eponge CHT/PCDs avec un TT a 160°C a montre des proprietes de gonflement eleve (~600%) et une biodegradation ralenti induite par le lysozyme (~12% perte masse dans un mois). Sa microstructure, ses proprietes mecaniques de compression et sa cytocompatibilite avec deux types de cellules (pre-osteoblastes (MC3T3-E1) et endotheliales primaires (HUVECs) ont ete etudiees. Une porosite elevee (~87%) avec des pores interconnectes a ete observee par microtomographie de rayons X, ainsi qu’une bonne adhesion et colonisation cellulaire au sein de l’eponge par microscopie electronique a balayage (MEB). Le VEGF a ete incorpore dans l’eponge, et son profil de liberation a ete suivi, ainsi que la bio-activite du VEGF libere. La liberation du VEGF a ete rapide pendant les trois premiers jours, puis ralenti jusqu'a devenir non-detectable par la methode ELISA jusqu’a 7 jours. Le VEGF libere pendant les deux premiers jours a montre un effet pro-proliferation et pro-migration significatif sur les HUVECs.Les hydrogels injectables de CHT/PCDi/PCDs a differents ratios ont ete optimises et caracterises en fonction de leurs proprietes rheologiques, leur injectabilite, et leur cytotoxicite. L’impact de l’ajoute du PCDi dans l’hydrogel a ete clairement observe par analyses rheologiques Ainsi, l'hydrogel CHT/PCD, compose a parts egales de PCDi et de PCDs, a demontre le meilleur compromis entre stabilite structurelle, proprietes rheofluidifiantes et autoreparantes, et injectabilite. En plus, l’hydrogel a montre une excellente cytocompatibilite vis-avis les cellules pre-osteoblastes MC3T3-E1.Bases sur la formulation optimisee, l’HAp a ete incorporee a differentes concentrations dans l’hydrogel. L’ajout de la phase minerale n’a pas perturbe la formation ni la stabilite structurelle des hydrogels, mais a ameliore les proprietes viscoelastiques. Les eponges composites, elaborees par lyophilisation de ces hydrogels, ont montre que les particules de HAp etaient dispersees de maniere homogene dans la structure macroporeuse de l'eponge. Ces resultats encourageants ont montre qu'il etait possible de fournir un hydrogel injectable ou une eponge composite comme scaffold pour l’ITO [...] / Repair of bone defects by bone tissue engineering (BTE) methods is considered as an alternative to conventional grafts. The aim of this PhD project was to develop two types of BTE scaffolds for bone regeneration: one is in the form of injectable hydrogel, and the other is in the form of sponge. Both scaffolds based on the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes by mixing chitosan (CHT, cationic) and polymer of cyclodextrin (PCD, anionic). Besides developing the sponge scaffold, the vascularization of 3D scaffold (a challenge of BTE) was specially investigated in the first part of the work, for which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEFG) was loaded on the CHT/PCDs sponge to promote the vascularization. The second part of the thesis was dedicated to the elaboration of an injectable CHT/PCD hydrogel, which was intended for minimally invasive surgery. The formulation optimization of hydrogel was performed by tuning the composition ratios of two PCD components: soluble-form PCD (PCDs) and insoluble-form PCD (PCDi), in order to better reach the specific requirement (e.g. rheological properties) of injectable hydrogel for regenerative medicine. Finally, a prospective study on developing the composite hydrogel/sponge by adding a mineral phase - hydroxyapatite (HAp) in the formulation was realized to improve the mechanical and osteoconductive properties.CHT/PCDs sponges were obtained by freeze-drying the hydrogels CHT/PCDs 3:3. The thermal treatment (TT) at different temperatures was further applied on the sponge to improve the mechanical stability. The CHT/PCDs sponge treated at 160°C was opted for further study thanks to high swelling capacity (~ 600%) and moderate lysozyme-induced biodegradation rate in vitro (~ 12% mass loss 21 days). This sponge of choice was further evaluated for the microstructure, the mechanical property (compressive strength) and the cytocompatibility with pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) and endothelial cells (HUVEC). Results of X-ray microtomography showed a high porosity (~87%) in the sponge with interconnected pores. Good cell adhesion and in-growth (colonization) in the sponge were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After loading VEGF on the sponge, the release profile of VEGF and the bioactivity of released VEGF were thoroughly studied. It showed that the release of VEGF was rapid (burst) during the first two days, then slowed down up to non-detectable by ELISA method after 7 days. The released VEGF during the first two days showed a significant pro-proliferation and pro-migration effect on HUVECs.For the injectable CHT/PCDi/PCDs hydrogels, optimization of composition ratio was based on evaluating their rheological properties, injectability, and cytotoxicity. The beneficial effect of combining both PCDi and PCDs in the formula of the hydrogel was clearly observed on the properties of hydrogel. Namely, the CHT/PCD hydrogel, composed of equal quantity of PCDi and PCDs, demonstrated the best compromise between structural stability, shearthinning and self-healing properties, and injectability. An excellent cytocompatibility with preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) was also confirmed for the hydrogel with this composition.Based on the optimized formulation, HAp was incorporated at different concentrations, which didn’t disturb the formation or the structural stability of the hydrogels, but improved the viscoelastic properties. The composite sponges, elaborated by lyophilization of these hydrogels, showed that the HAp particles homogeneously dispersed within the macroporous structure of the sponge. These encouraging results showed the feasibility of providing an injectable hydrogel or a composite sponge for BTE scaffold [...]
