Late endothelial progenitor cell-capture stents with CD146 antibody and nanostructure reduce in-stent restenosis and thrombosis. Acta Biomater 2020; 111:91-101. [PMID: 32434081 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The restoration of damaged endothelium is promising to reduce side effects, including restenosis and thrombosis, in the stent treatment for vascular diseases. Current technologies based on drug delivery for these complications still do not satisfy patients due to invariant recurrence rate. Recently, even if one approach was applied to clinical trial to develop the firstly commercialized stent employing circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in blood vessels, it resulted in failure in clinical trial. Based on instruction of the failed case, we designed an advanced EPC-capture stent covered with anti-CD146 antibody (Ab) immobilized silicone nanofilament (SiNf) for the highly efficient and specific capture of not early but late stage of EPCs. In vitro cell capture test demonstrates enhanced capture efficiency and adhesion morphology of late EPCs on the modified substrate. The modified substrates could capture 8 times more late EPCs and even 3 times more mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as compared to unmodified one. A porcine model with high similarity to human reproduced in vivo results ideally translated from in vitro cell capture results. As restenosis indicators, lumen area, neointimal rate and stenosis area for modified stents were reduced at the range of 30-60% as compared to those for bare metal stent (BMS). Fibrin score indicating thrombosis was lowered less than half as comparing to that on BMS. These inspiring results are attributed to ~2-fold increased endothelial coverage, determined by immuno-histological staining. Taken together, the CD146 Ab-armed nanofilamentous stent could show great performance in the reduction of thrombosis and restenosis through re-endothelialization due to highly efficient specific cell capture. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Stents have been developed from simple metal stents to functionalized stents for past decades. However, they have still risks to relapse the occlusion in stented arteries. In this paper, we describe the fabrication and optimization of cell capturing stents to maximize the effective re-endothelialization through the serial coating of silicone nanofilaments and anti-CD146 antibody. The nanofilaments increase the amount of coated antibodies and provide the anchoring points of circulating angiogenic cells for strong focal adhesion. We demonstrate high immobilizing ability of circulating angiogenic cells (endotheliali progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells) in vitro under similar shear stress to coronary arteries (15 dyne/cm2). Also, we show accelerating re-endothelialization and the efficient prevention of restenosis in porcine coronary arteries in vivo.

The adsorption of preferential binding peptides to apatite-based materials. Biomaterials 2008; 30:1287-98.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to identify peptide sequences with high affinity to bone-like mineral (BLM) to provide alternative design methods for functional bone regeneration peptides. Adsorption of preferential binding peptide sequences on four apatite-based substrates [BLM and three sintered apatite disks pressed from powders containing 0% CO(3)(2-) (HA), 5.6% CO(3)(2-) (CA5), 10.5% CO(3)(2-) (CA10)] with varied compositions and morphologies was investigated. A combination of phage display, ELISA, and computational modeling was used to elucidate three 12-mer peptide sequences APWHLSSQYSRT (A), STLPIPHEFSRE (S), and VTKHLNQISQSY (V), from 243 candidates with preferential adsorption on BLM and HA. Overall, peptides S and V have a significantly higher adsorption to the apatite-based materials in comparison to peptide A (for S vs. A, BLM p=0.001, CA5 p<0.001, CA10 p<0.001, HA p=0.038; for V vs. A, BLM p=0.006, CA5 p=0.033, CA10 p=0.029). FT-IR analysis displayed carbonate levels in CA5 and CA10 dropped to approximately 1.1-2.2% after sintering, whereas SEM imaging displayed CA5 and CA10 possess distinct morphologies. Adsorption results normalized to surface area indicate that small changes in carbonate percentage at a similar morphological scale did not provide enough carbonate incorporation to show statistical differences in peptide adsorption. Because the identified peptides (S and V) have preferential binding to apatite, their use can now be investigated in bone and dentin tissue engineering, tendon and ligament repair, and enamel formation.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film and PET vascular graft were modified by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of collagen and chondroitin sulfate (CS) to mimic the natural composition and structure of extracellular matrix. PET materials were first hydrolyzed to endow the surfaces with negative charge. Alternative assembly of positively charged collagen and negatively charged CS was then conducted in an LBL manner to produce biological multilayers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the occurrence of hydrolysis and existence of collagen and CS. The stepwise layer growth on the PET film was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy. The multilayers had sufficient stability to pass through the cell culture period (8 days). In vitro endothelial cell culture revealed that the incorporated biomacromolecules could significantly improve the cell attachment, proliferation, and viability. Cells showed more spreading morphology with preserved phenotype, as illustrated by scanning electron microscopy and factor VIII-related antigen immunocytochemistry, respectively.

Abstract
Since RGD peptides (R: arginine; G: glycine; D: aspartic acid) have been found to promote cell adhesion in 1984 (Cell attachment activity of fibronectin can be duplicated by small synthetic fragments of the molecule, Nature 309 (1984) 30), numerous materials have been RGD functionalized for academic studies or medical applications. This review gives an overview of RGD modified polymers, that have been used for cell adhesion, and provides information about technical aspects of RGD immobilization on polymers. The impacts of RGD peptide surface density, spatial arrangement as well as integrin affinity and selectivity on cell responses like adhesion and migration are discussed.

Abstract
PR-39 is proline-rich peptide produced at sites of tissue injury. While the functional properties of this peptide have not been fully defined, PR-39 may be an important regulator of processes related to cell-matrix adhesion since it reportedly upregulates syndecan-4, which is a critical determinant of focal adhesion formation. The ability of PR-39 to modulate the adhesion and chemokinetic migration behavior of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in a fashion coordinated with syndecan-4 expression was investigated. Treatment of SMCs with PR-39 did not alter syndecan-1 mRNA, but did induce a two-fold increase in syndecan-4 mRNA (P < 0.0001) and significantly enhanced cell surface expression of both syndecan-4 (P < 0.01) and heparan sulfate (HS) (P < 0.05). These observations were consistent with an observed increase in cell-matrix adhesive strength (P < 0.05) and a reduction in cell speed (P < 0.01) on fibronectin-coated substrates. Incubation of PR-39 treated cells with a soluble fibronectin derived heparin-binding peptide, as a competitive inhibitor of heparan sulfate/matrix interactions, abolished these effects. These data suggest that PR-39 mediated alterations of cell adhesion and motility may be related, in part, to the increased expression of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that accompany the upregulation of cell surface syndecan-4. Furthermore, this investigation supports the notion that factors which control syndecan-4 expression may play an important role in regulating adhesion related cell processes.

Abstract
The ability of a soluble heparin-binding peptide sequence derived from fibronectin to modulate the adhesion and chemokinetic migration behavior of arterial smooth muscle cells was assessed using a novel glass microsphere centrifugation assay and automated time-lapse fluorescence videomicroscopy, respectively. Treatment of cells grown on fibronectin-coated substrates with the soluble heparin-binding peptide resulted in the disassembly of focal adhesions, as assessed by immunohistochemical staining. These observations were consistent with an observed dose-dependent two- to fivefold reduction in cell-substrate adhesive strength ( P < 0.001) and a biphasic effect on migration speed ( P < 0.05). Moreover, heparin-binding peptides induced a twofold reduction ( P < 0.01) in two-dimensional cell dispersion in the presence of a non-heparin-binding growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB). Heparin-binding peptides were unable to mediate these effects when cells were grown on substrates lacking a heparin-binding domain. These data support the notion that competitive interactions between cell surface heparan sulfates with heparin-binding peptides may modulate chemokinetic cell migration behavior and other adhesion-related processes.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials with desirable biocompatibility has presented a difficult challenge for tissue engineering researchers. First and foremost, materials themselves tend to be hydrophobic and/or thrombogenic in nature, and face compatibility problems upon implantation. To mediate this problem, researchers have attempted to graft protein fragments onto biomaterial surfaces to promote endothelial cell attachment and minimize thrombosis. We envisioned a novel approach, based on the capability of biomolecules to self-assemble into well-defined and intricate structures, for creating biomimetic biomaterials that promote cell adhesion and proliferation. One of the most intriguing self-assembly processes is the folding of peptide chains into native protein structures. We have developed a method for building protein-like structural motifs that incorporate sequences of biological interest. A lipophilic moiety is attached onto a N alpha-amino group of peptide chain, resulting in a "peptide-amphiphile." The alignment of amphiphilic compounds at the lipid-solvent interface is used to facilitate peptide alignment and structure initiation and propagation, while the lipophilic region absorbs to hydrophobic surfaces. Peptide-amphiphiles containing potentially triple-helical or alpha-helical structural motifs have been synthesized. The resultant head group structures have been characterized by CD spectroscopy and found to be thermally stable over physiological temperature ranges. Triple-helical peptide-amphiphiles have been applied to studies of surface modification and cell receptor binding. Cell adhesion and spreading was promoted by triple-helical peptide-amphiphiles. Cellular interaction with the type IV collagen sequence alpha 1(IV) 1263-1277 increased signal transduction, with both the time and level of induction dependent upon triple-helical conformation. Collectively, these results suggest that peptide-amphiphiles may be used to form stable molecular structure on biomaterial surfaces that promote cellular activities and improve biocompatibility.

Abstract
Interactions between cultured nerve cells and surfaces are of importance for the implantation of biocompatible electrode materials such as glassy carbon (GC). Since implants serve as recording sensors in prosthetic neuroscience, we investigated whether coating electrodes with certain laminin derivatives containing the peptide sequences SIKVAV, CDPGYIGSR, PDSGR, YFQRYLI, and RNIAEIIKDA influences neuronal adhesion and neurite outgrowth in vitro. The coating of GC was performed by electrochemical polymerization and, for comparison, by adsorption or covalent coupling. Electrochemical polymerization is suitable for the coupling of peptides to GC, as shown by amino acid analysis and sequencing. Embryonic chicken retinal ganglion cells and brain cells (days E7 or E17) were used for both attachment and growth studies. Surfaces made by electrochemical polymerization of peptides were more efficient than those made by adsorption or covalent coupling of peptides. Synthetic cyclic peptide derivatives of CDPGYIGSR and 18-mer SIKVAV were found to be more efficient than the linear peptides. Competitive effects that resulted in a decreased cell attachment could be found upon application of soluble peptides. Nevertheless, irrespective of the method of coating, peptides were less efficient compared with the whole laminin molecule, as expected from its multiple adhesion sites. When small GC pins were implanted into the brain of E17 chicken after coating with the 18-mer SIKVAV peptide, nerve cell attachment was observed in vivo. The results suggest that chronically implantable materials may exert a higher neurocompatibility when coated with synthetic peptides.

Abstract
Neuronal cells are unique within the organism. In addition to forming long-distance connections with other nerve cells and non-neuronal targets, they lose the ability to regenerate their neurites and to divide during maturation. Consequently, external violations like trauma or disease frequently lead to their disappearance and replacement by non-neuronal, and thus not properly functioning cells. The advent of microtechnology and construction of artificial implants prompted to create particular devices for specialised regions of the nervous system, in order to compensate for the loss of function. The scope of the present work is to review the current devices in connection with their applicability and functional perspectives. (1) Successful implants like the cochlea implant and peripherally implantable stimulators are discussed. (2) Less developed and not yet applicable devices like retinal or cortical implants are introduced, with particular emphasis given to the reasons for their failure to replace very complex functions like vision. (3) Material research is presented both from the technological aspect and from their biocompatibility as prerequisite of any implantation. (4) Finally, basic studies are presented, which deal with methods of shaping the implants, procedures of testing biocompatibility and modification of improving the interfaces between a technical device and the biological environment. The review ends by pointing to future perspectives in neuroimplantation and restoration of interrupted neuronal pathways.

Abstract
The peptide-amphiphiles described here provide a simple approach for building stable protein structural motifs using peptide head groups. One of the most intriguing features of this system is the possible formation of stable lipid films on solid substrates, or the use of the novel amphiphiles in bilayer membrane systems, where the lipid tail serves not only as a peptide structure-inducing agent but also as an anchor of the functional head group in the lipid assembly. The peptide-amphiphile system potentially offers great versatility with regard to head and tail group composition and overall geometries and macromolecular structures. For building materials with molecular and cellular recognition capacity, it is essential to have a wide repertoire of tools to produce characteristic supersecondary structures at surfaces and interfaces.
