Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), as a gaseous messenger, exhibits potential therapeutic effects in biological and clinical applications. Herein, an in situ forming biomimetic hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel was used as a matrix to dope a pH-controllable H 2 S donor, JK1, to form a novel HA-JK1 hybrid system. This HA-JK1 hydrogel was designed as an ideal delivery scaffold for JK1 with pH-dependent prolonged H 2 S releasing profile. In vitro study suggested that JK1 could induce the polarization of M2 phenotype indicating a higher pro-healing efficiency of macrophages. The in vivo studies on dermal wounds showed that the HA-JK1 hybrid hydrogel significantly accelerated the wound regeneration process through enhanced re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, angiogenesis and cell proliferation . Furthermore, the in vivo results also demonstrated a higher level of M2 polarization in HA-JK1 treated group with reduced inflammation and improved wound remodeling effects, which was consistent with the in vitro results. These observations could be considered as a key to the efficient wound treatment. Therefore, we suggest that HA-JK1 can be used as a novel wound dressing material toward cutaneous wound model in vivo . This system should significantly enhance wound regeneration through the release of H 2 S that induces the expression of M2 macrophage phenotype.

Diabetic wound exhibits the complex characteristics involving continuous oxidative stress and excessive expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines to cause a long-term inflammatory microenvironment. The repair healing of chronic diabetic wounding is tremendously hindered due to persistent inflammatory reaction. To address the aforementioned issues, here, a dual-functional hydrogel is designed, consisting of N1-(4-boronobenzyl)-N3-(4-boronophenyl)-N1, N1, N3, N3-tetramethylpropane-1, 3-diaminium (TSPBA) modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and methacrylamide carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSMA) can not only electrostatically adsorb proinflammatory cytokines of IL1-β and TNF-α, but can also chemically scavenge the excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ. Both in vitro and in vivo evaluations verify that the negatively charged and ROS-responsive hydrogel (NCRH) can effectively modulate the chronic inflammatory microenvironment of diabetic wounds and significantly enhance wound remodeling. More importantly, the well-designed NCRH shows a superior skin recovery in comparison with the commercial competitor product of wound dressing. Consequently, the current work highlights the need for new strategies to expedite the healing process of diabetic wounds and offers a wound dressing material with immunomodulation.
