材料表面性质调控细胞黏附

生物医用材料旨在通过调控材料和细胞之间的相互作用来实现组织的再生和修复。黏附过程直接决定了细胞是否能够充分发挥生物学性能,因此通过对材料表面的物理和化学改性来调控细胞黏附,对于生物材料具有至关重要的意义,也是非常活跃的研究热点。材料表面物理改性通常通过对包括表面粗糙度、形貌、模量和多孔结构等物理性质的调控,为细胞构建适合黏附的材料表面。而化学改性则借助于表面电荷及亲疏水性调控、促黏分子修饰等化学手段来提高材料表面与细胞间的相互作用力,进而促进细胞黏附。近年来,材料表面调控细胞黏附的研究取得了许多新的突破性进展。例如在传统的促黏分子表面修饰之外,人们逐步发现对促黏分子序构的精准调控也可以有效地提高材料表面的促黏性能。而刺激响应性表面则可以根据外界信号的刺激,使得材料表面在促黏和抗黏之间实现智能的转换。本文从物理改性、化学修饰、刺激响应性表面构建等角度出发,全面总结和讨论了材料表面性质对细胞黏附的调控作用,梳理了材料表面的设计思路,多种材料表面的修饰改性方法等最新进展,并展望了未来材料表面对细胞黏附的调控思路。     

Recent Progress and Perspectives on Cell Surface Modification

The cell membrane is a biological interface consisting of phospholipid bilayer, saccharides and proteins that maintains a stable metabolic intracellular environment as well as regulating and controlling the exchange of substances inside and outside the cell. Cell membranes provide a highly complex biological surface carrying a variety of essential surfaces ligands and receptors for cells to receive various stimuli of external signals, thereby inducing corresponding cell responses regulating the life activities of the cell. These surface receptors can be manipulated via cell surface modification to regulate cellular functions and behaviors Thus, cell surface modification has attracted considerable attention due to its significance in cell fate control, cell engineering and cell therapy. In this minireview, we describe the recent developments and advances of cell surface modification, and summarize the main modification methods with corresponding functions and applications. Finally, the prospect for the future development of the modification of the living cell membrane is discussed.

Synthetic Chemistry and Function of Bacterial Cell Surface Glycoconjugates

Typical bacterial glycoconjugates are known to stimulate immunological systems of higher animals and thereby play important roles in the primary defense of animals against bacterial infection. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram‐negative bacteria is a representative of such glycoconjugates. LPS was first discovered as a potent bacterial toxin and named endotoxin but was soon found to exhibit immunostimulating activity. By the use of our synthetic pure preparations, the lipophilic partial structure of LPS, designated lipid A, proved to be the active entity responsible for both endotoxic and immunostimulating activities of LPS. This paper deals with our recent chemical synthesis and functional study of lipid A and related compounds. Synthesis is described of its various structural analogues, radio‐labeled compound and Re‐type LPS that contains two additional sugar moieties linked to lipid A.     

Orthogonal Surface Tags for Whole‐Cell Biocatalysis

We herein describe the engineering of E. coli strains that display orthogonal tags for immobilization on their surface and overexpress a functional heterologous “protein content” in their cytosol at the same time. Using the outer membrane protein Lpp‐ompA, cell‐surface display of the streptavidin‐binding peptide, the SpyTag/SpyCatcher system, or a HaloTag variant allowed us to generate bacterial strains that can selectively bind to solid substrates, as demonstrated with magnetic microbeads. The simultaneous cytosolic expression of functional content was demonstrated for fluorescent proteins or stereoselective ketoreductase enzymes. The latter strains gave high selectivities for specific immobilization onto complementary surfaces and also in the whole‐cell stereospecific transformation of a prochiral C_S‐symmetric nitrodiketone.     

Bile Enhances Cell Surface Hydrophobicity and Biofilm Formation of Bifidobacteria

Twenty-four human bifidobacterial strains were analysed for cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) using a salt aggregation test (SAT) and a Congo red binding (CRB) assay. Three strains were selected for a systematic study on the CSH and biofilm formation: Bifidobacterium breve 46, Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis 8:8 and a reference strain B. animalis ssp. lactis JCM 10602. CRB of the B. breve 46 and B. animalis ssp. lactis JCM 10602 was significantly enhanced (P?<?0.05) when grown in deMan–Rogosa–Sharpe cysteine (MRSC) broth supplemented with taurocholic acid (TA) or native porcine bile (PB). An enhanced CSH of the strains grown with PB and gastric mucin correlated with an increased mucin binding and an enhanced biofilm formation in prebiotic oligosaccharide-supplemented cultures. The three strains showed late bile-induced biofilm (72 h) under an anaerobic growth condition, and both B. animalis ssp. lactis strains showed a late bile-induced biofilm formation under aerobic conditions shown by crystal violet staining. These two strains were thus considered to be oxygen tolerant and more robust. Furthermore, enhanced biofilm formation of these robust bifidobacterial strains in the presence of prebiotics may allow for strong colonisation in the gastrointestinal tract when administered to in vivo models as a “synbiotic supplement”.

Effect of Surface Protonation on Device Performance and Dye Stability of Dye-sensitized TiO2 Solar Cell

A flat thin TiO₂ film was employed as the photo-electrode of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC), on which only a geometrical mono-layer of dye was attached. The effect of sur-face protonation by HCl chemical treatment on the performance of DSSCs was studied. The results showed that the short-circuit current Jsc increased significantly upon the HCl treatment, while the open-circuit voltage Voc decreased slightly. Compared to the untreated DSSC, the Jsc and energy conversion efficiency was increased by 31% and 25%, respectively, for the 1 mol/L HCl treated cell. TiO₂ surface protonation improved electronic coupling between the chemisorbed dye and the TiO₂ surface, resulting in an enhanced electron in-jection. The decreased open-circuit voltage after TiO₂ surface protonation was mainly due to the TiO₂ conduction band edge downshift and was partially caused by increased electron recombination with the electrolyte. In situ Raman degradation study showed that the dye stability was improved after the TiO₂ surface protonation. The increased dye stability was contributed by the increased electron injection and electron back reaction with the electrolyte under the open-circuit condition.     

Ezrin Modulates the Cell Surface Expression of Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 in Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cells

Cancer cells employ programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), an immune checkpoint protein that binds to programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and is highly expressed in various cancers, including cervical carcinoma, to abolish T-cell-mediated immunosurveillance. Despite a key role of PD-L1 in various cancer cell types, the regulatory mechanism for PD-L1 expression is largely unknown. Understanding this mechanism could provide a novel strategy for cervical cancer therapy. Here, we investigated the influence of ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family scaffold proteins, crosslinking the actin cytoskeleton and certain plasma membrane proteins, on the expression of PD-L1 in HeLa cells. Our results showed that all proteins were expressed at mRNA and protein levels and that all ERM proteins were highly colocalized with PD-L1 in the plasma membrane. Interestingly, immunoprecipitation assay results demonstrated that PD-L1 interacted with ERM as well as actin cytoskeleton proteins. Furthermore, gene silencing of ezrin, but not radixin and moesin, remarkably decreased the protein expression of PD-L1 without affecting its mRNA expression. In conclusion, ezrin may function as a scaffold protein for PD-L1; regulate PD-L1 protein expression, possibly via post-translational modification in HeLa cells; and serve as a potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer, improving the current immune checkpoint blockade therapy.     

Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cell Using a Fluoride-Assisted Surface Gradient Passivation Strategy

Wide-band gap (1.68 eV) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are important components of perovskite/Si tandem devices. However, the efficiency of wide band gap PSCs has been limited by their huge open-circuit voltage (V_oc) deficit due to non-radiative recombination. Deep-level acceptor defects are identified as the major killers of V_oc, and they can be effectively improved by passivation with ammonium salts. Theoretical calculation predicts that increasing the distance between F and −NH₃⁺ of fluorinated ammonium can dramatically enhance the electropositivity of −NH₃⁺ terminals, thus providing strong adsorption onto the negatively charged I_A and I_Pb anti-site defects. Characterizations further confirm that surface gradient passivation employing p-FPEAI demonstrates the most efficient passivation effect. Consequently, a record-efficiency of 21.63 % with the smallest V_oc deficit of 441 mV is achieved for 1.68 eV-band gap inverted PSCs. Additionally, a flexible PSC and 1 cm² opaque device also deliver the highest PCEs of 21.02 % and 19.31 %, respectively.

Specific Cell Surface Protein Imaging by Extended Self-Assembling Fluorescent Turn-on Nanoprobes

Visualization of tumor-specific protein biomarkers on cell membranes has the potential to contribute greatly to basic biological research and therapeutic applications. We recently reported a unique supramolecular strategy for specific protein detection using self-assembling fluorescent nanoprobes consisting of a hydrophilic protein ligand and a hydrophobic BODIPY fluorophore in test tube settings. This method is based on recognition-driven disassembly of the nanoprobes, which induces a clear turn-on fluorescent signal. In the present study, we have successfully extended the range of applicable fluorophores to the more hydrophilic ones such as fluorescein or rhodamine by introducing a hydrophobic module near the fluorophore. Increasing the range of available fluorophores allowed selective imaging of membrane-bound proteins under live cell conditions. That is, overexpressed folate receptor (FR) or hypoxia-inducible membrane-bound carbonic anhydrases (CA) on live cell surfaces as cancer-specific biomarkers were fluorescently visualized using the designed supramolecular nanoprobes in the turn-on manner. Moreover, a cell-based inhibitor-assay platform for CA on a live cell surface was constructed, highlighting the potential applicability of the self-assembling turn-on probes.
