Adsorption and protein-induced metal release from chromium metal and stainless steel

A research effort is undertaken to understand the mechanism of metal release from, e.g., inhaled metal particles or metal implants in the presence of proteins. The effect of protein adsorption on the metal release process from oxidized chromium metal surfaces and stainless steel surfaces was therefore examined by quartz crystal microbalance with energy dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS). Differently charged and sized proteins, relevant for the inhalation and dermal exposure route were chosen including human and bovine serum albumin (HSA, BSA), mucin (BSM), and lysozyme (LYS). The results show that all proteins have high affinities for chromium and stainless steel (AISI 316) when deposited from solutions at pH 4 and at pH 7.4 where the protein adsorbed amount was very similar. Adsorption of albumin and mucin was substantially higher at pH 4 compared to pH 7.4 with approximately monolayer coverage at pH 7.4, whereas lysozyme adsorbed in multilayers at both investigated pH. The protein-surface interaction was strong since proteins were irreversibly adsorbed with respect to rinsing. Due to the passive nature of chromium and stainless steel (AISI 316) surfaces, very low metal release concentrations from the QCM metal surfaces in the presence of proteins were obtained on the time scale of the adsorption experiment. Therefore, metal release studies from massive metal sheets in contact with protein solutions were carried out in parallel. The presence of proteins increased the extent of metals released for chromium metal and stainless steel grades of different microstructure and alloy content, all with passive chromium(III)-rich surface oxides, such as QCM (AISI 316), ferritic (AISI 430), austentic (AISI 304, 316L), and duplex (LDX 2205).     

Arrays of lipid bilayers and liposomes on patterned polyelectrolyte templates

This paper presents novel methods to produce arrays of lipid bilayers and liposomes on patterned polyelectrolyte multilayers. We created the arrays by exposing patterns of poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDAC), polyethylene glycol (m-dPEG) acid, and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) on polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) to liposomes of various compositions. The resulting interfaces were characterized by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), fluorescence recovery after pattern photobleaching (FRAPP), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and fluorescence microscopy. Liposomes composed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (monosodium salt) (DOPA) were found to preferentially adsorb on PDAC and PAH surfaces. On the other hand, liposome adsorption on sulfonated poly(styrene) (SPS) surfaces was minimal, due to electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged liposomes and the SPS-coated surface. Surfaces coated with m-dPEG acid were also found to resist liposome adsorption. We exploited these results to create arrays of lipid bilayers by exposing PDAC, PAH and m-dPEG patterned substrates to DOPA/DOPC vesicles of various compositions. The patterned substrates were created by stamping PDAC (or PAH) on SPS-topped multilayers, and m-dPEG acid on PDAC-topped multilayers, respectively. This technique can be used to produce functional biomimetic interfaces for potential applications in biosensors and biocatalysis, for creating arrays that could be used for high-throughput screening of compounds that interact with cell membranes, and for probing, and possibly controlling, interactions between living cells and synthetic membranes.     

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin onto poly(methyl methacrylate) stereocomplex films with a molecularly regulated nanostructure

Stereoregular poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMAs) were stepwise assembled on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) substrate after the immersion of the QCM into alternating acetonitrile solutions at ambient temperature. A quantitative QCM analysis at each step showed stereocomplex formation on the substrate surface. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto stereocomplex films with a molecularly regulated nanostructure was analyzed quantitatively. The adsorption constant and the maximum adsorption amount, calculated by the assumption of Langmuir‐type adsorption, showed that BSA adsorbed with a relatively weak interaction onto the stereocomplex films. The BSA adsorption onto the stereocomplex films occurred in an end‐on manner, with a smaller adsorption constant than for that onto individual spin‐coated films. The amount of BSA adsorbed was significantly affected by the molecular weight of syndiotactic PMMA. Attenuated total reflection spectra indicated that BSA adsorbed onto the films with or without denaturing. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 41: 1807–1812, 2003     

Immobilization of RNase S-Peptide on a single-stranded DNA-fixed gold surface and effective masking of its surface by an acridinyl poly(ethylene glycol)

Oligonucleotide-peptide conjugate was synthesized by coupling of RNase S-peptide to a 24-mer single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligonucleotide to be immobilized on its complementary ssDNA oligonucleotide-fixed gold surface of sensor chip or electrode. Immobilization of on the ssDNA-fixed gold surface through DNA duplex formation was confirmed by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and electrochemical measurements. After treating with a synthetic acridinyl poly(ethylene glycol) (APEG), specific interaction of S-protein with the S-peptide immobilized on the gold surface was demonstrated by QCM without nonspecific adsorption of unrelated proteins such as BSA and RNase A at the surfaces. This result suggested that the acridine parts of APEG could bind to the DNA duplex on the gold surface and the poly(ethylene glycol) parts were fastened on the surface to resist the adsorption of proteins. Thus, the combination of oligonucleotide-peptide conjugate, ssDNA-fixed chip and APEG with effective masking property provides a new tool for the analysis of specific peptide-protein interactions without disturbance by other unrelated proteins.     

A novel dual-impedance-analysis EQCM system--investigation of bovine serum albumin adsorption on gold and platinum electrode surfaces

Both quartz crystal micro-balance (QCM) impedance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods are widely used in interface studies. This paper presents details about a new strategy for simultaneous, mutual-interference-free and accurate measurements of QCM impedance and EI, through connecting a suitable capacitance in series with the piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) between QCM impedance and EIS measurement instruments. Combined and individual measurements of QCM impedance and EIS during silver deposition gave results comparable with each other, demonstrating the reliability of the proposed method. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption on gold and platinum electrodes in Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffers was investigated, and the Fe(CN)6(3-)/Fe(CN)6(4-) couple was used as an electrochemical probe to characterize BSA adsorption. While the reversibility of Fe(CN)6(3-)/Fe(CN)6(4-) couple on bare Au and Pt electrodes changed very slightly with decreasing solution pH from pH approximately 7 to pH approximately 2, the standard rate constant (ks) of this couple increased abruptly with solution pH below pH approximately 4.5 at a BSA-modified Au electrode, but decreased with solution pH at a BSA-modified Pt electrode. By analyzing the QCM impedance data with a modified BVD equivalent circuit and the EI data with a modified Randle's equivalent circuit, inflexion changes at pH approximately 4.5 were all found at pH-dependent responses of the resonant frequency, the double-layer capacitance, the capacitance of the adsorbed BSA layer, the peak-absorbance values of BSA solutions at 277.5 and 224.5 nm, and so on. It was also found that a BSA adsorption layer can effectively inhibit gold corrosion during ferrocyanide oxidation in a ferrocyanide-containing BR solution. Some preliminary explanations of these findings have been given. The proposed method is highly recommended for wider applications in surface science.     

Unsaturated fatty acids in alkane solution: adsorption to steel surfaces

The adsorption of the unsaturated fatty acids oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid on steel surfaces has been investigated by means of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Two different solvents were used, n-hexadecane and its highly branched isomer, viz., 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane. The area occupied per molecule of oleic acid at 1 wt % corresponds to what is needed for adsorption parallel to the surface. At the same concentration, the adsorbed amount of linoleic acid and linolenic acid indicates that they adsorb in multilayers. The chemisorbed amount estimated from static secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) measurements was found to be similar for the three unsaturated fatty acids. In the case of linolenic acid, it was found that the presence of water significantly alters the adsorption, most likely because of the precipitation of fatty acid/water aggregates. Furthermore, static SIMS results indicate that the amount of water used here inhibits the chemisorption of linolenic acid.     

Electrically polarized biphasic calcium phosphates: adsorption and release of bovine serum albumin

In this study, we applied electrical polarization technique to increase adsorption and control protein release from biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Three different biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) composites, with hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), were processed and electrically polarized. Our study showed that stored charge was increased in the composites with the increase in HAp percentage. Adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA), as a model protein, on the poled as well as unpoled surfaces of the composites was studied. The highest amount of BSA adsorption was obtained on positively poled surfaces of each composite. Adsorption isotherm study suggested a multilayer adsorption of BSA on the BCP composites. The effect of electrical polarization on BSA release kinetics from positively charged BCP surfaces was studied. A gradual increase in percent BSA release from positively charged BCP surfaces with decreasing stored charge was observed. Our study showed that the BCP based composites have the potential to be used as a drug or growth factor delivery vehicle.     

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) in high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2): experimental aspects of QCM theory and CO2 adsorption

The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique has been developed into a powerful tool for the study of solid-fluid interfaces. This study focuses on the applications of QCM in high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) systems. Frequency responses of six QCM crystals with different electrode materials (silver or gold) and roughness values were determined in helium, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide at 35-40 degrees C and at elevated pressures up to 3200 psi. The goal is to experimentally examine the applicability of the traditional QCM theory in high-pressure systems and determine the adsorption of CO2 on the metal surfaces. A new QCM calculation approach was formulated to consider the surface roughness contribution to the frequency shift. It was found that the frequency-roughness correlation factor, Cr, in the new model was critical to the accurate calculation of mass changes on the crystal surface. Experiments and calculations demonstrated that the adsorption (or condensation) of gaseous and supercritical CO2 onto the silver and gold surfaces was as high as 3.6 microg cm(-2) at 40 degrees C when the CO2 densities are lower than 0.85 g cm(-3). The utilization of QCM crystals with different roughness in determining the adsorption of CO2 is also discussed.     

Determination of peptide-surface adsorption free energy for material surfaces not conducive to SPR or QCM using AFM

The interactions between peptides and proteins with material surfaces are of primary importance in many areas of biotechnology. While surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) methods have proven to be very useful in measuring fundamental properties characterizing adsorption behavior, such as the free energy of adsorption for peptide-surface interactions, these methods are largely restricted to use for materials that can readily form nanoscale-thick films over the respective sensor surfaces. Many materials including most polymers, ceramics, and inorganic glasses, however, are not readily suitable for use with SPR or QCM methods. To overcome these limitations, we recently showed that desorption forces (F(des)) obtained using a standardized AFM method linearly correlate to standard-state adsorption free energy values (ΔG°(ads)) measured from SPR in phosphate buffered saline (PBS: phosphate buffered 140 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). This approach thus provides a means to determine ΔG°(ads) for peptide adsorption using AFM that can be applied to any flat material surface. In this present study, we investigated the F(des)-ΔG°(ads) correlation between AFM and SPR data in PBS for a much broader range of systems including eight different types of peptides on a set of eight different alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces. The resulting correlation was then used to estimate ΔG°(ads) from F(des) determined by AFM for selected bulk polymer and glass/ceramic materials such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fused silica glass, and a quartz (100) surface. The results of these studies support our previous findings regarding the strong correlation between F(des) measured by AFM and ΔG°(ads) determined by SPR, and provides a means to estimate ΔG°(ads) for peptide adsorption on macroscopically thick samples of materials that are not conducive for use with SPR or QCM.
