Abstract
Cell-based therapy has been used to treat stroke related disorders, which have no treatment options available 4.5 hours after onset. Although the administration of tissue plasminogen activator and mechanical thrombectomy are potent treatments, their clinical implementation is limited within the available time. Here, we aimed to use induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) for stroke treatment with higher delivery efficiency in stroke areas, which will improve the therapeutic effect. E-selectin binding oligopeptide (Esbp) was conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated-lipid (Esbp-PEG-lipid) with different molecular weights of PEG (5 and 40 kDa) for cell surface modification. Then, we optimized the cell surface modification of NPCs by studying cell-binding ability onto the model surfaces of stroke areas, such as recombinant E-selectin-immobilized surfaces and TNF-α activated endothelium. As a result, the cell surface modification of NPCs with Esbp-PEG-lipid was found to induce specific intercellular interactions with the activated endothelium through the binding of Esbp with E-selectin. Additionally, the shorter PEG spacer was suitable for intercellular interactions. Thus, our technique shows potential for use in cell therapy with enhanced cell accumulation in infarct areas.

Abstract
In search for peptide motifs that allow us to efficiently tether fusion proteins onto polymer surfaces, we designed a KLKLKLKLKL (KL5) decapeptide in which basic and hydrophobic amino acids were alternately linked. By means of genetic engineering technology together with a bacterial expression system, the KL5 fusions of epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor, and stromal cell-derived factor-1α were prepared together with their control counterparts without KL5. The adsorption experiments were performed for these fusion proteins on the surface of polystyrene, hydrophilized polystyrene, and polycaprolactone by surface plasmon resonance analysis. To understand the results of the binding assays, the structure of the fusion proteins was predicted by ab initio computer simulation and analyzed empirically by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The result of structural analyses suggested that the KL5 peptide is exposed to the outside and has a negligible effect on the structure of the protein partners. However, it was found that the efficiency of KL5 as a peptide motif greatly depends on protein partners. Our results showed that KL5 exerts most effectively its function as a peptide motif when fused to acidic proteins such as EGF. Indeed, the number of living human mesenchymal stem cells determined after 7-day culture was larger on the polystyrene and polycaprolactone surfaces with EGF tethered through the KL5 peptide than control surfaces. According to the results obtained in this study, we conclude that KL5 is useful as a peptide motif for tethering a specific class of protein partners.
