- the production medium (TM medium, Biomed Res Int 2017, 2017: 5479762) contained 10 g/L glucose. Upon fermentation, supernatant has been separated from biomass by centrifugation and was used for SDS PAGE analysis. For all three variants, collagen-like protein was produced.
- the full-length collagen-like protein and the no-V-domain variant were also expressed in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Therefore, the corresponding DNA sequences were cloned together with an upstream located signal peptide for protein secretion into a shuttle vector for C. glutamicum (Biotechnology Techniques 1999, 13: 437- 441 .).
- the C. glutamicum strain ATCC 13032 was transformed with the new constructed plasmids by means of electroporation as described by Ruan et al. (Biotechnology Letters 2015, 37: 2445- 2452).
- the C. glutamicum strains were analysed for their ability to produce the different collagen proteins in fed-batch cultivations at 30°C and pH 7 using the DASGIP® parallel bioreactor system from Eppendorf (Hamburg, Germany).
- the fermentation was performed using 1 L reactors.
- the production medium contained 20 g/L glucose in the batch phase and the fed-batch phase was run with a glucose feed of 4 g/L*h.
- supernatant has been separated from biomass by centrifugation and was used for HPLC analysis.
- collagen protein was produced.
- product titer was higher as for the full-length variant.
- the bacterial collagen-like protein was purified using precipitation with 2-Propanol at 15 v%. After precipitation of the Scl2 protein a centrifugation was performed. The pellet was dissolved in water, the triple helical Scl2 protein was unfolded at 40°C and filtered through a 100 kD membrane. This step serves to remove large sized impurities. The collected permeate was then concentrated in the consecutive 10 kD filtration. The retentate was washed to remove small sized impurities.
- the collagen-like protein is referred to as Vecollan® in the following experiments as well.
- Example 1 CLP hydrogel base layer preparation
- Table 1 Pipetting scheme for the preparation of the hydrogel base patch using the previously described DMTMM technology.
- the molar ratio (MR) described the ratio of functional side chains in CLP compared to the functional side chains in the crosslinker.
- a MR of 1 :1 was applied.
- Vecollan® CLP from Evonik Operations GmbH
- 4-(4,6-Dimethoxy-1 ,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4- methylmorpholinium chloride (short: DMTMM, TCI Chemicals, order number: D2919, Mw: 276.72 g/mol)
- 4-arm PEG Succinimidyl Glutaramide (short: 4-Arm-PEG-SG, 10 kDa, JenKem Technology USA, order number: A7110-1* / 4ARM-SGA-10K,1g)
- HEPES buffer pH 8.0 (1 M) sterile PanReac AppliChem; order number: A6906
- a 10% (w/v) CLP stock solution was prepared. The mixture was incubated at room temperature (20 °C to 25 °C) on an orbital shaker (450 rpm) until a homogenous solution formed.
- the DMTMM stock solution (196.25 mg/ml) as well as the 4-Arm-PEG-SG stock solution (201 .37 mg/ml) was prepared fresh (max. 1 h prior to the experiment).
- Double layer preparation Components were mixed in a vessel with sufficient volume capacity by added them in the following order: ddH2O; CLP stock solution; HEPES buffer (final concentration: 0.1 M) and 4-Arm-PEG-SG stock solution. Before and after adding the crosslinker, the mixture was homogenized. 3.2 ml formulation was transferred into a silicon mold with 4x4x0.4 cm 3 and incubated under humid conditions for 1 h at RT (20 °C - 25 °C).
- the second layer was molded on top of the first layer by mixing the following ingredients in the following order in a vessel with sufficient volume capacity: ddH2O; CLP stock solution and DMTMM stock solution. Before and after adding the crosslinker, the mixture was homogenized. 3.2 ml formulation was transferred into the silicon mold on top of the already prepared CLP hydrogel base layer. The hydrogel bilayer was incubated under humid conditions for 24 h at RT (20 °C - 25 °C).
- Table 2 Pipetting scheme for the preparation CLP-based layer crosslinked with DMTMM or 4-Arm-PEG- SG (short: PEG-SG).
- the molar ratio (MR) describes the ratio of functional side chains in CLP compared to the functional side chains in the crosslinker.
- a MR of 1 :0.2 was applied for the CLP/PEG composite and a MR of 1 :1 was applied for the DMTMM crosslinked CLP base layer.
- the applied 1 M HEPES buffer pH 8.0 was abbreviated with “buffer”.
- the patches described in examples 1 and 2 were placed in a heat cabinet and exposed to 40 °C hot air for 16 h.
- the resulting film-like patches have a transparent shape and increase in flexibility by swelling in aqueous solution.
- the incubation time strongly depends on the patch thickness as well as its formulation. Also, the loading density is crucial for the drying process duration.
- the patches described in examples 1 and 2 were placed in a freeze dryer and processed via the following program resulting in white sponge-like patches. Resulting patches are depicted in figure 1 .
- Table 3 Freeze drying protocol to prepare sponge-like CLP patches.
- hydrogels were prepared with 2 mm layer height in silicon molds by using the described formulations in table 4. Only the hydrogel base layer was used for this experiment. Resulting patches were analyzed regarding their breaking behavior when bended by 180° in dry and wet state (5 min soaking in 1 xPBS). When bending by 180° was possible, patches were enrolled to demonstrate increased flexibility. Results were documented in table 5. One example with pictures was given in figure 6.
- Table 4 Different formulations for the preparation of hydrogel base layer crosslinked by DMTMM.
- Example 6 CLP patch crosslinked with DMTMM and loaded with PLGA-based microparticles
- Microparticles were added from a particle suspension in ddFW spiked into the water fraction of the formulation shown in example 1 .
- An example formulation with particles is given in table 6.
- Interface Applying the DMTMM crosslinked hydrogel base layer on top of the crosslinked PEG/CLP layer. Particles will sediment into the interphase. This protects the user from direct particle contact. This is especially important for enclosed high potent drugs to avoid direct contact when used by e.g., health-care personnel when applied.
- Rotation Alternatively, the patch was prepared in a special mold under constant rotation until gelation occurred.
- Viscous molding Third, the formulation was incubated at RT before molding until a significant viscosity increase was observed. After a final homogenization the viscous formulation was molded.
- Table 6 Pipetting scheme for CLP crosslinked with DMTMM or 4-Arm-PEG-SG (short: PEG-SG) by incorporating microparticles w/ or w/o drug load.
- the molar ratio (MR) described the ratio of functional side chains in CLP compared to the functional side chains in the crosslinker.
- a MR of 1 :0.2 was applied forthe CLP/PEG composite and a MR of 1 :1 was applied forthe DMTMM crosslinked CLP layer.
- the applied 1 M HEPES buffer pH 8.0 was abbreviated with “buffer”. If the double layer patch was produced, microparticles were incorporated in one layer only but incorporated in both layers worked comparably well.
- Example 7 Meloxicam release from incorporated microparticles
- the patches were submersed in 1x PBS buffer and incubated in a 37 °C warm water bath on an orbital shaker (85 rpm) in 50 ml Greiner tubes.
- the volume of extraction medium was chosen in alignment with the solubility limit of the encapsulated Meloxicam in water. The chosen volume ensures that all of the encapsulated Meloxicam can be dissolved during the trial to avoid drawback effects due to solubility limitations.
- 1 ml samples was taken from the supernatant. The reduced volume was replenished by 1 ml fresh 1 xPBS and the sample was analyzed using a Tecan multiplate reader with an absorbance wavelength of 365 nm.
- HFF human fibroblasts
- Hydrogels were washed (3x 440 pl 1xPBS, 1x 440 pl full culture medium w/ FBS; 1 h each on an orbital shaker (300 rpm)). After washing, detached and washed cells were added (300 pl of a 1 x10 5 cells/ml suspension). The plate was incubated under culture conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2, humid atmosphere) for 24 h. Then, the cell morphology was visualized using a transmission light microscope and pictures were taken (see figure 4).
