Hyaluronan/collagen hydrogel matrices containing high-sulfated hyaluronan microgels for regulating transforming growth factor-β1.

Hyaluronan (HA)-based microgels generated in a microfluidic approach, containing an artificial extracellular matrix composed of collagen and high-sulfated hyaluronan (sHA3), were incorporated into a HA/collagen-based hydrogel matrix. This significantly enhanced the retention of noncrosslinked sHA3 within the gels enabling controlled sHA3 presentation. Gels containing sHA3 bound higher amounts of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) compared to pure HA/collagen hydrogels. Moreover, the presence of sHA3-containing microgels improved the TGF-β1 retention within the hydrogels. These findings are promising for developing innovative biomaterials with adjustable sHA3 release and growth factor interaction profiles to foster skin repair, e.g., by rebalancing dysregulated TGF-β1 levels.
