Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process involving a complicated interplay between numerous cell types and vascular systems. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel facilitates wound healing, and is involved in all processes. However, slow gelation speed and weak adhesion strength limit its ability to form a stable physical barrier quickly. Herein, we propose a HA-based composite hydrogel as the wound dressing based on oxidative coupling reaction. Tannic acid and dopamine-coated carbon particles (DCPs) containing abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups are incorporated into the HA-based hydrogel for increasing the number of crosslinking sites of oxidative coupling of the hydrogel and enhancing adhesion through the formation of covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds between hydrogel and wound sites. The composite hydrogel exhibits short gelation time (<6 s) and high adhesion strength (>8.1 kPa), which are superior to the references and commercial products of its kind. The in vitro experiments demonstrate that the hydrogel has low hemolytic reaction, negligible cytotoxicity, and the ability to promote fibroblast proliferation and migration. The in vivo full-thickness skin defect model experiments demonstrate that the hydrogel can accelerate wound healing under mild photothermal stimulation of DCPs by reducing inflammation, relieving tissue hypoxia, and promoting angiogenesis and epithelialization.

Sulfation of furcellaran and its effect on hemocompatibility in vitro. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128840. [PMID: 38103479 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
In this study, furcellaran (FUR) obtained from Furcellaria lumbricalis was firstly employed for sulfation via various methods, including SO3-pyridine (SO3∙Py) complex in different aprotic solvents, chlorosulfonic acid and sulfuric acid with a "coupling" reagent N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Structural characterization through FT-IR, GPC, XPS and elemental analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of 6-O-sulfated FUR derivates characterized by varying degrees of sulfation (DS) ranging from 0.15 to 0.91 and molecular weight (Mw) spanning from12.5 kDa to 2.7 kDa. In vitro clotting assays, partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin time (TT), and prothrombin time (PT) underscored the essential role of sulfate esters in conferring anticoagulant activity whereas FUR prepared via chlorosulfonic acid with DS of 0.91 reached 311.4 s in aPPT showing almost 4-fold higher anticoagulant activity than native FUR at the concentration 2 mg/mL. MTT test showed all tested samples decreased cell viability in a dose dependent manner while all of them are non-cytotoxic up to the concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. Furthermore, sulfated derivates deposited onto polyethylene terephthalate surface presented substantial decrease in platelet adhesion, as well as absence of the most activated platelet stages. These findings support the pivotal role of O-6 FUR sulfates in enhancing hemocompatibility and provide valuable insights for a comparative assessment of effective sulfating approaches.

Nano zinc oxide-functionalized nanofibrous microspheres: A bioactive hybrid platform with antimicrobial, regenerative and hemostatic activities. Int J Pharm 2023; 638:122920. [PMID: 37011829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
Bioactive hybrid constructs are at the cutting edge of innovative biomaterials. PLA nanofibrous microspheres (NF-MS) were functionalized with zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) and DDAB-modified nZnO (D-nZnO) for developing inorganic/nano-microparticulate hybrid constructs (nZnO@NF-MS and D-nZnO@NF-MS) merging antibacterial, regenerative, and haemostatic functionalities. The hybrids appeared as three-dimensional NF-MS frameworks made-up entirely of interconnecting nanofibers embedding nZnO or D-nZnO. Both systems achieved faster release of Zn2+ than their respective nanoparticles and D-nZnO@NF-MS exhibited significantly greater surface wettability than nZnO@NF-MS. Regarding bioactivity, D-nZnO@NF-MS displayed a significantly greater and fast-killing effect against Staphylococcus aureus. Both nZnO@NF-MS and D-nZnO@NF-MS showed controllable concentration-dependent cytotoxicity to human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) compared with pristine NF-MS. They were also more effective than pristine NF-MS in promoting migration of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) in the in vitro wound healing assay. Although D-nZnO@NF-MS showed greater in vitro hemostatic activity than nZnO@NF-MS, (blood-clotting index 22.82 ± 0.65% vs.54.67 ±2.32%) both structures exhibited instant hemostasis (0 s) with no blood loss (0 mg) in the rat-tail cutting technique. By merging the multiple therapeutic bioactivities of D-nZnO and the 3D-structural properties of NF-MS, the innovative D-nZnO@NF-MS hybrid construct provides a versatile bioactive material platform for different biomedical applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13071150.

Abstract
Electrospinning has contributed substantially to the construction of nanofibrous scaffolds for potential tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. However, conventional electrospinning only has the ability to generate and collect nanofiber scaffolds with a randomly oriented fibrous pattern, which lack the necessary cell alignment guidance function. In this study, a novel electrospinning fiber-collecting device was designed and developed by setting a series of small pin-ring-structured collectors on a large plain plate. Specifically, we demonstrated that the pin-ring-structured collectors, which were constructed by inserting a metal pin into the center of a metal ring, could collect the as-electrospun nanofibers with radially oriented structures in an innovative manner. We first investigated the suitable polymeric concentration for electrospinning poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and the optimum electrospinning concentration of PHBV was found to be 12% (w/v) PHBV dissolved in hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFIP). Then, 12% (w/v) PHBV solution was electrospun into radially oriented nanofiber scaffolds using our novel electrospinning strategy, and their various performances were further compared with conventionally randomly oriented nanofiber scaffolds that were also produced from 12% (w/v) PHBV solution. The results showed that the radially oriented PHBV nanofiber scaffolds exhibited obviously enhanced mechanical properties and decreased hydrophobicity compared with the randomly oriented PHBV nanofiber scaffold controls. Importantly, the biological properties of radially oriented PHBV nanofiber scaffolds were also demonstrated to be enhanced, compared with randomly oriented PHBV nanofiber scaffolds, by effectively inducing cell alignment and significantly promoting cell proliferation. In sum, the present study indicates that our as-prepared nanofiber scaffolds with a radially oriented pattern are of great interest for advanced applications, such as wound dressings and tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Development of a decellularized human amniotic membrane-based electrospun vascular graft capable of rapid remodeling for small-diameter vascular applications. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:144-156. [PMID: 36108966 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The performance of small-diameter vascular grafts adapted to vascular replacement is commonly hindered by stenosis. To address this issue, a graft featuring rapid remodeling with degradation is warranted. In this work, a 1.8-mm-diameter graft was constructed by fabricating a decellularized human amniotic membrane (HAM) with polycaprolactone (PCL)/silk fibroin (SF) around it through electrospinning, namely, an HPS graft, and applied in a rat aortic grafting model for comparison to a decellularized porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS)-integrated PCL/SF (SPS) graft and an autologous aorta. In vitro studies demonstrated that HAM provided a bioactive milieu for rapid endothelial cell proliferation and resisting fibroblast-induced collagen secretion. PCL/SF provides a biocompatible microenvironment for cellular infiltration with mechanical properties resembling those of the rat aorta. In vivo studies showed that the HPS graft induced functional endothelialization more rapidly, along with less intensive ECM deposition than the SPS graft upon the histologically weaker inflammatory response and foreign body reaction 4 weeks after implantation, and maintained patency by progressively stabilizing the remodeling structure approximating the native counterparts over 24 weeks. The bioengineered graft expands the applicability of allogeneic matrices with degradable electrospun polymers for long-term in situ vascular applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: An orchestrated remodeling of the vascular graft, featuring rapid endothelialization and resisting extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition on the luminal surface, with a mechanically stable structure, is requisite for long-term vascular patency. Nevertheless, off-the-shelf grafts might not fulfil the criteria under abdominal aortic pressure. Herein, we fabricated a 1.8-mm-diameter vascular graft through the integration of a decellularized human amniotic membrane (HAM) with electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)/silk fibroin (SF). In a rat aortic grafting model, the graft is capable of rapid endothelialization and resisting collagen deposition and provides a native-like mechanical structure for stabilizing the remodeling process towards that of the native aorta. This bioengineered graft has potential for small-diameter vascular regeneration, and provides advanced strategies to facilitate full-remodeling tissue applications.

Abstract
Protein adsorption at the surface affects the material biocompatibility directly as it is the first reaction that happens when a foreign material comes in contact with blood. In this study, the mechanism of albumin adsorption on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces is investigated. Although it is studied extensively and has been of keen interest for decades, the adsorptive nature of albumin is still not fully understood with contradicting reported studies. This problem results from previous works focusing on mostly qualitative and quantitative adsorption properties of albumin, rather than the specific interaction mechanisms. The variable local surface properties across albumin can significantly impact adsorption and must be explored. In this work, the effect of hydration is found to significantly increase adsorption with minor reductions. The adsorption of albumin on hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces is dependent on albumin orientation, which is dictated by local charge effects. Based on these findings, an optimized material surface is proposed to minimize albumin adsorption using functional groups to limit surface availability for hydrophobic interactions while inhibiting excess electrostatic effects at hydrophilic sites. The extent of albumin adsorption and shape change are characterized herein using the heat capacity. Current study identifies interaction mechanisms previously missing in literature, which are responsible for inconsistent adsorption results.

Abstract
Phase inversion induced by water droplets has garnered attention in the field of polymer science as a novel method for preparing porous membranes. This study investigates the effect of the porous structure of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) membranes prepared through phase inversion induced by water droplets at four different temperatures (25, 50, 75, and 100 °C) on the morphology and proliferation of 3T3 cells. The surface properties of the PLA porous membrane, including pore size, pore size distribution, surface roughness, surface hydrophilicity, and cytocompatibility with 3T3 cells, were evaluated. The results indicated that the synthesized PLA membrane had two surfaces with different structures. The upper surface in contact with the water droplets during preparation contained uniformly distributed micropores, whereas the bottom surface was smooth and composed of small particles in contacted with the mold. The upper surface showed high cytocompatibility with 3T3 cells, and the 3T3 cells migrated and grew within the pores at 25 °C. In contrast, the bottom surface exhibited low biocompatibility with the 3T3 cells. Our study has wide-ranging implications and will improve the fabrication and implementation of 3D cultured scaffolds with excellent cytocompatibility.

Abstract
Rapid endothelialization of small-diameter vascular grafts remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. In addition, compliance mismatch causes intimal hyperplasia and finally leads to graft failure. To achieve compliance match and rapid endothelialization, we synthesized low-initial-modulus poly(ester-urethane)urea (PEUU) elastomer and prepared it into electrospun tubular grafts and then functionalized the grafts with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and heparin via covalent grafting. The PEG- and heparin-functionalized PEUU (PEUU@PEG-Hep) graft had comparable mechanical properties with the native blood vessel. In vitro data demonstrated that the grafts are of good cytocompatibility and blood compatibility. Covalent grafting of PEG and heparin significantly promoted the adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and upregulated the expression of vascular endothelial cell-related genes, as well as increased the capability of grafts in preventing platelet deposition. In vivo assessments indicated good biocompatibility of the PEUU@PEG-Hep graft as it did not induce severe immune responses. Replacement of resected carotid artery with the PEUU@PEG-Hep graft in a rabbit model showed that the graft was capable of rapid endothelialization, initiated vascular remodeling, and maintained patency. This study demonstrates the PEUU@PEG-Hep vascular graft with compliance match and efficacious antithrombosis might find opportunities for bioactive blood vessel substitutes.

Abstract
In the present study, heparin-mimetic magnetic nanoparticles (HMNPs), which might be used as recycling anticoagulants, were synthesized by coating heparin-mimetic sodium alginate (HLSA) on the surface of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), using 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (TOPA) as a biological adhesive. HLSA was successfully immobilized on the MNP surface, as revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis, and the core (MNP)-shell (TOPA, HLSA) structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy observations. In addition, in vitro studies of protein adsorption, blood clotting time, and contact activation confirmed that the blood compatibility of the HMNP was significantly enhanced compared with the bare MNP. The improved hemocompatibility was attributed to the introduction of the multiple heparin-mimetic groups (-SO3Na, -COONa, and -OH). In addition, the HMNP showed outstanding recycle stability and, thus, can be reused if needed. The synthesized HMNP appeared to be a suitable biomaterial to safely replace heparin as an anticoagulant in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.

Abstract
A multifunctional coating with antifogging, self-cleaning, and antimicrobial properties has been prepared based on a mussel-inspired chimeric protein MP-KE, which is the first example that these proteins were successfully applied to fabricate antifogging surfaces. The coating exhibits super hydrophilic properties, as indicated by contact angles less than 5° and high light transmittance similar to bare glass substrates about 90%. The zwitterionic peptides of MP-KE empower water molecules to expand into thin hydrated films rapidly, providing the protein coating with diverse surface functions. Moreover, the coatings have excellent stability and a convenient preparation process because of the mussel adhesive motif of MP-KE which makes the coating anchor onto the surface strongly. As a protein material, this multifunctional coating possesses remarkable biocompatibility and has a potential application prospects in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA15) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) were introduced in poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold fabricated by selective laser sintering to co-enhance the bioactivity. On the one hand, the active elements silicon and calcium released respectively by the degradation of SBA15 and nHA were favorable for stimulating cell response. On the other hand, the hydrated silica gel layer derived from SBA15 could adsorb calcium ions released from nHA, thereby co-promoting apatite nucleation and growth. The experimental results showed that the formation of bone-like apatite on the scaffold was accelerated under simulated body fluid, indicating a good biomineralization capacity. Moreover, the scaffold demonstrated a good cell response in promoting the attachment of cell and the expression of alkaline phosphatase activity. Besides, SBA15 and nHA not only improved the hydrophilicity of the scaffold (the water contact angle changed from 107.4° to 57.8°), but also retarded the pH reduction by neutralizing the acidic hydrolysate of PLLA. These results indicated that the PLLA-SBA15-nHA scaffold may be potential candidates for bone repair.
