Devising efficient gene delivery systems is crucial to enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of gene–cell therapy approaches. Herein, inverted quasi‐spherical (iQS) droplet systems, which enhance gene delivery efficiencies by reducing the path lengths of gene vectors, mediating motions of vectors at early stages, and raising the contact frequencies of vectors with cells, are developed by adopting the principle of 3D hanging‐drop cell culture. Micrometer‐sized polydopamine (pDA) holes are created on superhydrophobic titanium isopropoxide (TiO2)‐coated substrates by physical scraping; droplets are loaded on the pDA holes, and inversion of the substrate generates iQS droplets with large contact angles. Both human neural stem cells (hNSCs) and adeno‐associated viral vectors are simultaneously incorporated into the iQS droplets to assess gene delivery efficiencies. The steep angles of iQS droplets and enhanced cell/vector contact frequencies facilitate the viral association with hNSCs and enhancing cell–cell interactions, thereby significantly promoting gene delivery efficiencies. Even with reduced viral quantities/exposure times and cell numbers, the iQS droplet systems elicit sufficient gene expression (i.e., interleukin‐10). The ability of the iQS droplet systems to maximize beneficial gene delivery effects with minimal materials (e.g., medium, cells, and vectors) should enable their extensive use as a platform for preparing genetically stimulated cellular therapeutics. 相似文献

Inspired by the molecular mechanics of mussel adhesive formation, a novel water‐soluble fluorescent macromolecule (polydopamine–polyethyleneimine (PDA–PEI)) is prepared by one‐pot copolymerization of dopamine (DA) and PEI. In this method, DA is polymerized to form PDA, which is then coupled with PEI mainly through Michael addition. The fluorescence property of PDA–PEI is mainly attributed to the Michael addition of PEI on the 5,6‐dihydroxyindole (DHI) units of PDA, where PEI can form hydrogen bonds with oxidative products such as DHI and force the DHI units to twist out of plane, resulting in a decrease in the intra‐ and intermolecular coupling of PDA. In addition, the influence of various metal cations on the fluorescence of the PDA–PEI copolymer is investigated. This work may facilitate the development of new strategies for controlling the emission characteristics of PDA.

Polydopamine‐Coated Porous Microspheres Conjugated with Immune Stimulators for Enhanced Cytokine Induction in Macrophages 下载免费PDF全文
Polydopamine‐coated porous microsphere (PPM) is investigated as a simple and versatile immobilization strategy for immune‐stimulating biomolecules to enhance delivery efficiency and immune‐stimulating effects such as cytokine induction in macrophages. The PPMs, with diameters of about 2 μm, exhibit simultaneous and efficient incorporation of biomolecules (nucleotides and proteins), which is comparable to that achieved using microspheres carrying biomolecules internally by virtue of their porous structure. Ovalbumin‐conjugated PPMs are internalized into macrophages efficiently and selectively via the phagocytic pathway, without any noticeable toxicity. Internalized CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN)‐conjugated PPMs (PPM‐CpG) greatly enhance the induction of selected cytokines (TNF‐α and IL‐6) in RAW 264.7 cells compared to that by the soluble CpG ODN and ionic complexes. Therefore, PPMs generated in this study may serve as effective carriers of immune‐stimulating biomolecules such as diverse toll‐like receptor agonists.

Polydopamine (PDA), which is biodegradable and is derived from naturally occurring products, can be employed as an electrode material, wherein controllable partial oxidization plays a key role in balancing the proportion of redox‐active carbonyl groups and the structural stability and conductivity. Unexpectedly, the optimized PDA derivative endows lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) or sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) with superior electrochemical performances, including high capacities (1818 mAh g?1 for LIBs and 500 mAh g?1 for SIBs) and good stable cyclabilities (93 % capacity retention after 580 cycles for LIBs; 100 % capacity retention after 1024 cycles for SIBs), which are much better than those of their counterparts with conventional binders. 相似文献

Polydopamine Inter‐Fiber Networks: New Strategy for Producing Rigid,Sticky, 3D Fluffy Electrospun Fibrous Polycaprolactone Sponges 下载免费PDF全文
Designing versatile 3D interfaces that can precisely represent a biological environment is a prerequisite for the creation of artificial tissue structures. To this end, electrospun fibrous sponges, precisely mimicking an extracellular matrix and providing highly porous interfaces, have capabilities that can function as versatile physical cues to regenerate various tissues. However, their intrinsic features, such as sheet‐like, thin, and weak structures, limit the design of a number of uses in tissue engineering applications. Herein, a highly facile methodology capable of fabricating rigid, sticky, spatially expanded fluffy electrospun fibrous sponges is proposed. A bio‐inspired adhesive material, poly(dopamine) (pDA), is employed as a key mediator to provide rigidity and stickiness to the 3D poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) fibrous sponges, which are fabricated using a coaxial electrospinning with polystyrene followed by a selective leaching process. The iron ion induced oxidation of dopamine into pDA networks interwoven with PCL fibers results in significant increases in the rigidity of 3D fibrous sponges. Furthermore, the exposure of catecholamine groups on the fiber surfaces promotes the stable attachment of the sponges on wet organ surfaces and triggers the robust immobilization of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and gene vectors), demonstrating their potential for 3D scaffolds as well as drug delivery vehicles. Because fibrous structures are ubiquitous in the human body, these rigid, sticky, 3D fibrous sponges are good candidates for powerful biomaterial systems that functionally mimic a variety of tissue structures.

Here, postfunctionalization and bioapplication of a π‐conjugated polymer named 4‐[4H‐dithieno(3,2‐b:2′,3′‐d)pyrrol‐4‐yl]aniline (DTP‐aryl‐NH2) are reported, which is successfully synthesized via electropolymerization onto the glassy carbon electrode. Folic acid (FA) is used to modify the amino functional polymer via N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N′‐ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N‐hydroxysuccinimide chemistry for the further steps. The selective adhesion of folate receptor positive cells on the surface is followed by the electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been used to characterize stepwise modification of the electroactive surface. After optimization studies such as scan rate during the polymer deposition, FA amount for the efficient surface targeting, incubation time with the cells etc., analytical characterization is carried out. The surface morphologies at each step are imaged by using fluorescence microscopy.

A hybrid technology that combines a three‐dimensional (3‐D) dispensing system with an electrospinning process was used to produce a hierarchical 3‐D scaffold consisting of micro‐sized polycaprolactone (PCL) strands and micro/nano‐sized fibres. The micro/nanofibre biocomposites electrospun with PCL/small intestine submucosa (SIS) and PCL/Silk fibroin were layered between melt‐plotted micro‐strands. The scaffold containing SIS exhibited a stronger hydrophilic property than other scaffolds due to the various hydrophilic components in SIS. The 3‐D hierarchical scaffold having biocomposites exhibited an incredibly enhanced initial cell attachment and proliferation of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells relative to the normally designed 3‐D scaffold.

Glycans mediate many critical, long‐term biological processes, such as stem cell differentiation. However, few methods are available for the sustained remodeling of cells with specific glycan structures. A new strategy that enables the long‐lived presentation of defined glycosaminoglycans on cell surfaces using HaloTag proteins (HTPs) as anchors is reported. By controlling the sulfation patterns of heparan sulfate (HS) on pluripotent embryonic stem cell (ESC) membranes, it is demonstrated that specific glycans cause ESCs to undergo accelerated exit from self‐renewal and differentiation into neuronal cell types. Thus, the stable display of glycans on HTP scaffolds provides a powerful, versatile means to direct key signaling events and biological outcomes such as stem cell fate. 相似文献

The redox microenvironment within a cell graft can be considered as an indicator to assess whether the graft is metabolically active or hypoxic. We present a redox‐responsive MRI probe based on porous silica microparticles whose surface has been decorated with a Gd‐chelate through a disulphide bridge. Such microparticles are designed to be interspersed with therapeutic cells within a biocompatible hydrogel. The onset of reducing conditions within the hydrogel is paralleled by an increased clearance of Gd, that can be detected by MRI. 相似文献

Highly Biocompatible Nanofibrous Microspheres Self‐Assembled from Chitin in NaOH/Urea Aqueous Solution as Cell Carriers 下载免费PDF全文
Bo Duan Xing Zheng Zhixiong Xia Xiaoli Fan Lin Guo Prof. Jianfeng Liu Prof. Yanfeng Wang Prof. Qifa Ye Prof. Lina Zhang 《Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)》2015,54(17):5152-5156
In this work, chitin microspheres (NCM) having a nanofibrous architecture were constructed using a “bottom‐up” fabrication pathway. The chitin chains rapidly self‐assembled into nanofibers in NaOH/urea aqueous solution by a thermally induced method and subsequently formed weaved microspheres. The diameter of the chitin nanofibers and the size of the NCM were tunable by controlling the temperature and the processing parameters to be in the range from 26 to 55 nm and 3 to 130 μm, respectively. As a result of the nanofibrous surface and the inherent biocompatibility of chitin, cells could adhere to the chitin microspheres and showed a high attachment efficiency, indicating the great potential of the NCM for 3D cell microcarriers. 相似文献

For the construction of high‐performance biosensor, it is important to interface bioreceptors with the sensor surface densely and in the optimal orientation. Herein, a simple surface modification method that can optimally immobilize antibodies onto various kinds of surfaces is reported. For the surface modification, a mixture of polydopamine (PDA) and protein G was employed. PDA is a representative mussel‐inspired polymer, and protein G is an immunoglobulin‐binding protein that enables an antibody to have an optimal orientation. The surface characteristics of PDA/Protein G mixture‐coated substrates are analyzed and the PDA/protein G ratio is optimized to maximize the antibody binding efficiency. Moreover, the antibody‐immobilized substrates are applied to the detection of influenza viruses with the naked eye, providing a detection limit of 2.9 × 103 pfu mL‐1. Importantly, the several substrates (glass, SiO2, Si, Al2O3, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, and paper) can be modified by simple incubation with the mixture of PDA/protein G, and then the anti‐influenza A H1N1 antibodies can be immobilized on the substrates successfully. Regardless of the substrate, the influenza viruses are detectable after the sandwich immunoreaction and silver enhancement procedure. It is anticipated that the developed PDA/protein G coating method will extend the range of applicable materials for biosensing. 相似文献

Stem cell transplantations for spinal cord injury (SCI) have been studied extensively for the past decade in order to replace the damaged tissue with human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived neural cells. Transplanted cells may, however, benefit from supporting and guiding structures or scaffolds in order to remain viable and integrate into the host tissue. Biomaterials can be used as supporting scaffolds, as they mimic the characteristics of the natural cellular environment. In this study, hPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are cultured on aligned poly(ε‐caprolactone) nanofiber platforms, which guide cell orientation to resemble that of spinal cord in vivo. All cell types are shown to efficiently spread over the nanofiber platform and orient according to the fiber alignment. Human neurons and astrocytes require extracellular matrix molecule coating for the nanofibers, but OPCs grow on nanofibers without additional treatment. Furthermore, the nanofiber platform is combined with a 3D hydrogel scaffold with controlled thickness, and nanofiber‐mediated orientation of hPSC‐derived neurons is also demonstrated in a 3D environment. In this work, clinically relevant materials and substrates for nanofibers, fiber coatings, and hydrogel scaffolds are used and combined with cells suitable for developing functional cell grafts for SCI repair.

A facile synthesis of highly stable, water‐dispersible metal‐nanoparticle‐decorated polymer nanocapsules (M@CB‐PNs: M=Pd, Au, and Pt) was achieved by a simple two‐step process employing a polymer nanocapsule (CB‐PN) made of cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) and metal salts. The CB‐PN serves as a versatile platform where various metal nanoparticles with a controlled size can be introduced on the surface and stabilized to prepare new water‐dispersible nanostructures useful for many applications. The Pd nanoparticles on CB‐PN exhibit high stability and dispersibility in water as well as excellent catalytic activity and recyclability in carbon–carbon and carbon–nitrogen bond‐forming reactions in aqueous medium suggesting potential applications as a green catalyst. 相似文献

Herein we report a microfluidics method that enriches cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor‐initiating cells on the basis of cell adhesion properties. In our on‐chip enrichment system, cancer cells were driven by hydrodynamic forces to flow through microchannels coated with basement membrane extract. Highly adhesive cells were captured by the functionalized microchannels, and less adhesive cells were collected from the outlets. Two heterogeneous breast cancer cell lines (SUM‐149 and SUM‐159) were successfully separated into enriched subpopulations according to their adhesive capacity, and the enrichment of the cancer stem cells was confirmed by flow cytometry biomarker analysis and tumor‐formation assays. Our findings show that the less adhesive phenotype is associated with a higher percentage of CSCs, higher cancer‐cell motility, and higher resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. 相似文献

Chirality is one of the most fascinating and ubiquitous features in nature, especially in biological systems. The effects of chiral surfaces, especially in combination with degradable materials of good biocompatibility, on stem cell behaviors has not yet been tackled. In this communication, the chiral monomers N‐acryloyl‐l (d )‐valine (l (d )‐AV) are synthesized and are polymerized to obtain chiral (l (d )‐PAV‐SH) oligomers, which are covalently immobilized onto electron‐deficient poly(propylene fumarate) polyurethane (PPFU) via Michael addition. The PPFU‐l ‐PAV can interact more strongly and actively with bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) than PPFU‐d ‐PAV, leading to a larger cell spreading area, faster migration velocity, and stronger osteodifferentiation tendency.
