单根DNA短链构筑pH响应超分子水凝胶

设计合成了一条包含两段自互补序列和一段富含胞嘧啶(C)序列的DNA单链.在碱性条件下,两段自互补序列可通过分子间自组装形成一维DNA纳米线,调节p H至酸性条件后,胞嘧啶序列通过形成双分子i-motif结构将纳米线交联,从而形成DNA水凝胶.当加入酸或碱调节体系的p H时,水凝胶的力学强度会发生变化.在p H为5.3时,水凝胶力学强度达到最大,增大或减小p H都会使水凝胶强度降低.同时,改变DNA单链浓度也能够调节水凝胶的力学强度.此凝胶制备过程原料合成简便,无需涉及不同DNA链定量配比的问题,大大简化了实验操作;另外i-motif结构在形成与解离两态之间的转换非常迅速,在几秒钟之内便可完成,也赋予该凝胶快速p H响应的特性.

DNA水凝胶的制备及生物应用

DNA具有良好的生物相容性、生物可降解性、分子识别特性、纳米尺寸可控及特异编码等特性。近年来,DNA扮演了多种角色,不仅仅是作为生物体系的遗传物质,同样作为生物材料被用于纳米结构的构建。DNA水凝胶既保持了DNA本来的生物特性又兼具普通凝胶的特性,比如形状可塑性、一定的机械强度、输送物质等特性。DNA水凝胶按照凝胶形成化学键的类型可以分为共价键形成的化学凝胶和非共价键形成的物理凝胶; DNA水凝胶中可以引入特异性响应不同刺激的基团或者序列,从而实现对不同刺激的灵敏性响应进而拓宽DNA水凝胶的应用范围。按照刺激响应性分类可分为pH敏感型、光敏感型、温度敏感型和小分子敏感型等水凝胶。DNA水凝胶的这些特有的性质很好地将DNA纳米技术和生物技术连接起来,为其应用提供了广阔的前景。DNA水凝胶作为一种具有智能响应的材料也越来越多地被应用到生物传感、药物输送、三维细胞培养等方面。本文主要综述了DNA 水凝胶的分类以及近几年来DNA水凝胶中的不同刺激响应型DNA水凝胶的制备及其生物应用,最后对其以后的研究前景进行了展望。

通过将生物高分子明胶与瓜尔豆胶复配,在有/无电场作用下分别制备出瓜尔豆胶-明胶的复配弹性体A-弹性体(有电场作用)与B-弹性体(无电场作用)。通过动态黏弹谱仪测试其储能模量,探讨在不同外加电场下,瓜尔豆胶与明胶的浓度对弹性体电场响应性能的影响。结果表明:A-弹性体和B-弹性体的储能模量(G)随着瓜尔豆胶和明胶浓度的增加而增加。此外,GAGB,GA随着电场的增加而减小,表明复配弹性体对外加电场产生负响应,且储能模量变化率的绝对值随外加电场的增大而增强。     

酸性条件下的DNA构象变化加速DNA变性解链

调控DNA的变性解链过程是DNA扩增与检测的关键步骤。对于传统的热循环DNA扩增策略,由于变温过程中热量分布不均一以及变温速度慢等不利因素,会直接影响DNA变性解链过程,从而降低DNA检测放大的效果、延长检测的时长。因此,探索快速、高效的调控DNA变性解链的方法具有重要的研究意义。本文发展了以胞嘧啶在酸性条件下的质子化反应为基础,通过改变溶液的pH值,来诱导DNA构象在Watson-Crick（WC）碱基对与Hoogsteen（HG）碱基对之间的分子构象转换,从而实现精准、快速、高效的DNA变性解链调控目标。结果表明,相较于传统的温控方法,pH调控方法能显著提高DNA变性的速率约6倍以上。本文发现pH调控方法通过降低双链DNA的反应焓约160 kJ/mol,从而提高双链DNA变性速率和效率。该方法具有用于DNA信号放大与检测等相关应用的潜力。

Chitosan‐Based Thermo/pH Double Sensitive Hydrogel for Controlled Drug Delivery

A series of thermo/pH sensitive N‐succinyl hydroxybutyl chitosan (NSHBC) hydrogels with different substitution degrees of succinyl are prepared for drug delivery. Rheology analysis shows that the gelation temperature of NSHBC hydrogels is 3.8 °C higher than that of hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) hydrogels. A model drug bovine serum albumin (BSA) is successfully loaded and released. NSHBC hydrogels show excellent pH sensitivity drug release behaviors. After incubation for 24 h, 93.7% of BSA is released from NSHBC hydrogels in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (pH 7.4), which is significantly greater than that of 24.6% at pH 3.0. In contrast, the release rate of BSA from HBC is about 70.0% at pH 3.0 and 7.4. Thus, these novel hydrogels have the prominent merits of high adaptability to soluble drugs and pH sensitivity triggered release, indicating that NSHBC hydrogels have promising applications in oral drug delivery.     

Microbial Cells with a Fe3O4 Doped Hydrogel Extracellular Matrix: Manipulation of Living Cells by Magnetic Stimulus

This study aims to develop an effective method to control motile microorganisms and enable their manipulation as functional ‘live micro/nano robots'. A novel strategy based on Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle‐doped alginate hydrogel is developed to fashion an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) for microbial cells (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Flavobacterium heparinum). During this strategy, a single layer of alginate hydrogel is coated around the microbial cells doped with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles to form the alg‐mag‐cells. Transmission electron microscopy shows that Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are uniformly distributed in the hydrogel shell. Together with maintaining the cell activity and metabolism, the hydrogel coated microbial cells demonstrate high magnetic responsiveness in an external magnetic field and are able to form micro‐scaled patterns using the magnetic template designed in this study. This strategy provides a building block to fabricate advanced biological models, medical therapeutic products, and non‐medical biological systems using different microorganisms.

     

Water-Resistant and Stretchable Conductive Ionic Hydrogel Fibers Reinforced by Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Conductive ionic hydrogels (CIH) have been widely studied for the development of stretchable electronic devices, such as sensors, electrodes, and actuators. Most of these CIH are made into 3D or 2D shape, while 1D CIH (hydrogel fibers) is often difficult to make because of the low mechanical robustness of common CIH. Herein, we use gel spinning method to prepare a robust CIH fiber with high strength, large stretchability, and good conductivity. The robust CIH fiber is drawn from the composite gel of sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). In the composite CIH fiber, the soft PAAS presents good conductivity and stretchability, while the rigid CMC significantly enhances the strength and toughness of the PAAS/CMC fiber. To protect the conductive PAAS/CMC fiber from damage by water, a thin layer of hydrophobic polymethyl acrylate (PMA) or polybutyl acrylate (PBA) is coated on the PAAS/CMC fiber as a water-resistant and insulating cover. The obtained PAAS/CMC-PMA and PAAS/CMC-PBA CIH fibers present high tensile strength (up to 28 MPa), high tensile toughness (up to 43 MJ/m³), and good electrical conductivity (up to 0.35 S/m), which are useful for textile-based stretchable electronic devices.     

PAM-PAA microgel inverse opal photonic crystal and pH response

The colloidal crystal template or opal with a closed-packed face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice was prepared from monodisperse polystyrene (PS) spheres by vertical sedimentation.The template provided void space for infiltration of monomer precursor composed of acrylate acid,acrylamide and ammonium persulfate,as well as microgel from the subsequent copolymerization.The sample was immersed in dimethylbenzene for completely removing PS spheres to form PAM inverse opal hydrogels (IOH_(PAM)) or PAM/PAA inverse opal hydrogels (IOH_(PAM/PAA)) photonic crystals.The PS spheres were replaced by air spheres,which interconnected each other through the windows.The study of responses to pH show that there are two peaks for both IOH_(PAM) and IOH_(PAM/PAA) films,but the IOH(PAM/PAA) peaks shift to higher pH,and the peaks are independent with the AA content.

Large Scale Production of Continuous Hydrogel Fibers with Anisotropic Swelling Behavior by Dynamic‐Crosslinking‐Spinning

Hydrogel microfibers have been considered as a potential biomaterial to spatiotemporally biomimic 1D native tissues such as nerves and muscles which are always assembled hierarchically and have anisotropic response to external stimuli. To produce facile hydrogel microfibers in a mathematical manner, a novel dynamic‐crosslinking‐spinning (DCS) method is demonstrated for direct fabrication of size‐controllable fibers from poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate) oligomer in large scale, without microfluidic template and in a biofriendly environment. The diameter of fibers can be precisely controlled by adjusting the spinning parameters. Anisotropic swelling property is also dependent on inhomogeneous structure generated in spinning process. Comparing with bulk hydrogels, the resulting fibers exhibit superior rapid water adsorption property, which can be attributed to the large surface area/volume ratio of fiber. This novel DCS method is one‐step technology suitable for large‐scale production of anisotropic hydrogel fibers which has a promising application in the area such as biomaterials.

The Rebinding Properties of Bovine Serum Albumin Imprinted Calcium Alginate/Phosphate Hybrid Microspheres Via the Adjustment of pH Values and Salt Concentration

Summary: Bovine serum albumin imprinted calcium phosphate/alginate hydrogel microspheres were prepared with sodium alginate (SA), (NH₄)₂HPO₄, and using CaCl₂ as gelling agent, bovine serum albumin (BSA) as template in inverse suspension. The optimized rebinding properties of BSA imprinted hydrogel microspheres were investigated by controlling pH value and ionic concentration from the viewpoint of adjusting the process of gelling, removing template and rebinding. The optimized pH values for the imprinting of BSA in gelling, removing template and rebinding process was 4.1, 8.3 and 4.8, respectively. The effect of NaCl concentration on the BSA rebinding was also determined. We provided a strategy to get the optimized imprinting efficiency by altering pH value and ionic concentration in a weakly ionic cross-linked hydrogel system on the process of protein's imprinting.
