Abstract
BACKGROUND Nerve regeneration is important for the treatment of degenerative diseases and neurons injured by accidents. Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been previously conjugated to materials for promotion of neurogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Photoreactive gelatin was prepared by chemical coupling of gelatin with azidobenzoic acid (P-gel), and then NGF was immobilized on substrates in the presence or absence of micropatterned photomasks. UV irradiation induced crosslinking reactions of P-gel with itself, NGF, and the plate for immobilization. RESULTS By adjustment of the P-gel concentration, the nanometer-order height of micropatterns was controlled. NGF was quantitatively immobilized with increasing amounts of P-gel. Immobilized NGF induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells, a cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla, at the same level as soluble NGF. The immobilized NGF showed higher thermal stability than the soluble NGF and was repeatedly used without loss of biological activity. The 3D structure (height of the formed micropattern) regulated the behavior of neurite guidance. As a result, the orientation of neurites was regulated by the stripe pattern width. CONCLUSION The micropattern-immobilized NGF nanolayer biochemically and topologically regulated neurite formation.

Abstract
Growth factors, first known for their essential role in the initiation of mitosis, are required for a variety of cellular processes and their localized delivery is considered as a rational approach in their therapeutic application to assure a safe and effective treatment while avoiding unwanted adverse effects. Noncovalent immobilization of growth factors as well as their covalent conjugation is amongst the most common strategies for localized delivery of growth factors. Today, immobilized and covalently conjugated growth factors are considered as a promising drug design and are widely used for protein reformulation and material design to cover the unwanted characteristics of growth factors as well as improving their functions. Selection of a suitable conjugation technique depends on the substrate chemistry and the availability of functional reactive groups in the structure of growth factor, the position of reactive groups in growth factor molecules and its relation with the receptor binding area, and the intention of creating either patterned or unpatterned conjugation. Various approaches for growth factor reformulation have been reported. This review provides an overview on chemical conjugation of growth factors and covers the relevant studies accomplished for bioconjugation of growth factors and their related application.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are widely used in the field of regenerative medicine, translational medicine, and tissue engineering. Recently, we reported the effect of scaffold formation on the differentiation and survival of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) using PuraMatrix™ (RADA-16) scaffolds. Here, we were interested in the impact of PuraMatrix modified by the addition of short peptide sequences, based on a bone marrow homing factor and laminin. The culture and differentiation of the hNPCs in the modified matrices resulted in an approximately fivefold increase in neuronal cells. The examination of apoptotic and necrotic cells, as well as the level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, indicates benefits for cells hosted in the modified formulations. In addition, we found a trend to lower proportions of apoptotic or necrotic neuronal cells in the modified matrices. Interestingly, the neural progenitor cell pool was increased in all the tested matrices in comparison to the standard 2D culture system, while no difference was found between the modified matrices. We conclude that a combination of elevated neuronal differentiation and a protective effect of the modified matrices underlies the increased proportion of neuronal cells.

Abstract
To improve neuronal-electrode interfaces, we analyzed the influence of surface topographies combined with coating on the electrochemistry of platinum and neuronal differentiation of PC-12 cells. Surface structuring on nanoscale was realized by femtosecond laser ablation. Additional coating with laminin (LA), collagen type I (COL) or poly-d-lysine (PDL) did not change the produced topography. We further demonstrated that impedance could be improved in all cases. The pre-requisites of differentiation - viability and attachment - were fulfilled on the topography. Cell attachment of non-differentiated and differentiated cells and their formation of focal adhesion complexes were even enhanced compared to unstructured platinum. However, without the nerve growth factor (NGF) no cellular outgrowth and differentiation were possible. The topography enabled cell elongation and reduced the amount of rounded cells, but less effective than coating. Differentiation was either comparable or increased on the structures when compared with unstructured coatings. For instance, microtubule associated protein (MAP2) was detected most on the topography alone. But a combination of surface structuring and coating had the strongest impact on differentiation: the usage of COL provoked best cell elongation and beta III tubulin expression, PDL best synaptophysin. LA-coating had no noteworthy effect. These findings point out that innovative electronic devices like cochlear implants include two aspects: (a) nanotopography to improve the transmission of electrical signals and neuronal attachment; and (b) an additional coating to stimulate neuronal differentiation.

Abstract
Prion protein (PrP(C)) is a cell surface glycoprotein that is abundantly expressed in nervous system. The elucidation of the PrP(C) interactome network and its significance on neural physiology is crucial to understanding neurodegenerative events associated with prion and Alzheimer's diseases. PrP(C) co-opts stress inducible protein 1/alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (STI1/α7nAChR) or laminin/Type I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/5) to modulate hippocampal neuronal survival and differentiation. However, potential cross-talk between these protein complexes and their role in peripheral neurons has never been addressed. To explore this issue, we investigated PrP(C)-mediated axonogenesis in peripheral neurons in response to STI1 and laminin-γ1 chain-derived peptide (Ln-γ1). STI1 and Ln-γ1 promoted robust axonogenesis in wild-type neurons, whereas no effect was observed in neurons from PrP(C) -null mice. PrP(C) binding to Ln-γ1 or STI1 led to an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) levels via distinct mechanisms: STI1 promoted extracellular Ca(2+) influx, and Ln-γ1 released calcium from intracellular stores. Both effects depend on phospholipase C activation, which is modulated by mGluR1/5 for Ln-γ1, but depends on, C-type transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels rather than α7nAChR for STI1. Treatment of neurons with suboptimal concentrations of both ligands led to synergistic actions on PrP(C)-mediated calcium response and axonogenesis. This effect was likely mediated by simultaneous binding of the two ligands to PrP(C). These results suggest a role for PrP(C) as an organizer of diverse multiprotein complexes, triggering specific signaling pathways and promoting axonogenesis in the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract
To isolate clinically and biologically relevant cell types from a heterogeneous population, fluorescent or magnetic tagging together with knowledge of surface biomarker profiles represents the state of the art. To date, it remains exceedingly difficult to separate phenotypically and physically similar cell types from a mixed population. We report a microfluidic platform engineered to separate two highly similar cell types using a single antibody by taking advantage of subtle variations in surface receptor density and cell size. This platform utilizes antibody-conjugated surfaces in microfluidic channels together with precise modulation of fluid shear stresses to accomplish selective fractionation in a continuous flow process. Antibody conjugation density variation on the adhesive surfaces is achieved by covalently immobilizing an antibody in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). This platform is used to demonstrate separation of two CD31 positive cell types, human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human micro vascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
Adhesive and migratory behavior can be cell type, integrin, and substrate dependent. We have compared integrin and substrate differences using three integrin receptors: α5β1, α6β1, and αLβ2 expressed in a common cell type, CHO.B2 cells, which lack integrin α subunits, as well as in different cell types that express one or more of these integrins. We find that CHO.B2 cells expressing either α6β1 or αLβ2 integrins migrate and protrude faster and are more directionally persistent on laminin or ICAM-1, respectively, than CHO.B2 cells expressing α5β1 on fibronectin. Despite rapid adhesion maturation and the presence of large adhesions in both the α6β1- and αLβ2-expressing cells, they display robust tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, whereas myosin II regulates adhesion maturation and turnover, protrusion rates, and polarity in cells migrating on fibronectin, surprisingly, it does not have comparable effects in cells expressing α6β1 or αLβ2. This apparent difference in the integration of myosin II activity, adhesion, and migration arises from alterations in the ligand-integrin-actin linkage (molecular clutch). The elongated adhesions in the protrusions of the α6β1-expressing cells on laminin or the αLβ2-expressing cells on ICAM-1 display a novel, rapid retrograde flux of integrin; this was largely absent in the large adhesions in protrusions of α5β1-expressing cells on fibronectin. Furthermore, the force these adhesions exert on the substrate in protrusive regions is reduced compared to similar regions in α5-expressing cells, and the adhesion strength is reduced. This suggests that intracellular forces are not efficiently transferred from actomyosin to the substratum due to altered adhesion strength, that is, avidity, affinity, or the ligand-integrin-actin interaction. Finally, we show that the migration of fast migrating leukocytes on fibronectin or ICAM-1 is also largely independent of myosin II; however, their adhesions are small and do not show retrograde fluxing suggesting other intrinsic factors determine their migration differences.

Abstract
There are currently no acceptable cures for central nervous system injuries, and damage induced large gaps in the peripheral nervous system have been challenging to bridge to restore neural functionality. Innervation by neurons is made possible by the growth cone. This dynamic structure is unique to neurons, and can directly sense physical and chemical activity in its environment, utilizing these cues to propel axons to precisely reach their targets. Guidance can occur through chemoattractive factors such as neurotrophins and netrins, chemorepulsive agents like semaphorins and slits, or contact-mediated molecules such as ephrins and those located in the extracellular matrix. The understanding of biomolecular activity during nervous system development and injury has generated new techniques and tactics for improving and restoring function to the nervous system after injury. This review will focus on the major neuronal guidance molecules and their utility in current tissue engineering and neural regenerative strategies.

Abstract
Vapor-deposited silicone coatings are attractive candidates for providing insulation in neuroprosthetic devices owing to their excellent resistivity, adhesion, chemical inertness and flexibility. A biocompatibility assessment of these coatings is an essential part of the materials design process, but current techniques are limited to rudimentary cell viability assays or animal muscle implantation tests. This article describes how a recently developed in vitro model of glial scar formation can be utilized to assess the biocompatibility of vapor-deposited silicone coatings on micron-scale wires. A multi-cellular monolayer comprising mixed glial cells was obtained by culturing primary rat midbrain cells on poly(D-lysine)-coated well plates. Stainless steel microwires were coated with two novel insulating thin film silicone polymers, namely poly(trivinyltrimethylcyclotrisiloxane) (polyV(3)D(3)) and poly(trivinyltrimethylcyclotrisiloxane-hexavinyldisiloxane) (polyV(3)D(3)-HVDS) by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). The monolayer of midbrain cells was disrupted by placing segments of coated microwires into the culture followed by immunocytochemical analysis after 7 d of implantation. Microglial proximity to the microwires was observed to correlate with the amount of fibronectin adsorbed on the coating surface; polyV(3)D(3)-HVDS adsorbed the least amount of fibronectin compared to both stainless steel and polyV(3)D(3). Consequently, the relative number of microglia within 100 µm of the microwires was least on polyV(3)D(3)-HVDS coatings compared to steel and polyV(3)D(3). In addition, the astrocyte reactivity on polyV(3)D(3)-HVDS coatings was lower compared to stainless steel and polyV(3)D(3). The polyV(3)D(3)-HVDS coating was therefore deemed to be most biocompatible, least reactive and most preferable insulating coating for neural prosthetic devices.

Abstract
Endostatin (ES), the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII known for its anti-angiogenic properties, is associated with neurological diseases in mammals. In this study, we investigated the effect of ES on nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuronal differentiation, migration, neuritogenesis, and neurite extension. ES partially inhibited PC12 cell differentiation and cerebellar granule cell migration. In addition, neurite outgrowth was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect was also matrix-dependent, as we observed better inhibition on PC12 cells grown on collagen compared to laminin matrices. Furthermore, we observed partial NGF depletion by collagen and ES, but not by laminin suggesting that NGF-matrix interactions may be important for promoting neuritogenesis, competitive inhibition by ES or low affinity matrix impairs PC12 differentiation and neurite outgrowth. Finally, using a biosensor technique, we demonstrated a direct interaction between NGF and ES suggesting the mechanism of action of ES may involve NGF sequestration. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the inhibitory effect of ES on different steps of neurogenesis including cell differentiation and migration and neuritogenesis by NGF sequestration. Such sequestration may compromise brain repair following injury, but also may play important role in axon finding as well as a potent therapeutical target in diseases involving abnormal elevated neurotrophic growth factor levels. Taken together, this study raises the consideration of ES as a double-edge sword that carries both deleterious and putative therapeutical effects.

Abstract
Since synthetic nerve conduits do not exhibit the characteristics of regeneration, they are generally inadequate substitutes for autologous nerve graft in the repair of long peripheral nerve defects. To resolve this problem, in this study, we constructed a nerve regeneration characteristics-containing nerve graft through integrating xenogeneic acellular nerve matrix (ANM) with autologous neural differentiated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). Xenogeneic ANM was processed by a protocol removing cells and myelin sheath completely, meanwhile preserving growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) microstructure of natural nerve, such as porous and basal lamina tube. Cytocompatibility and immunocompatibility evaluation revealed that ANM could support cell attachment and proliferation, and did not stimulate vigorous host reject response. After inoculation of neural differentiated ADSCs onto ANM, differentiated cells were observed to align along longitudinal axis of ANM, resembling band of büngner, and persistently express NGF, GDNF, and BDNF. In vivo, neural differentiated ADSCs also presented glial cell characteristics and promote nerve regeneration 7 days post transplantation. We repaired 1cm Sprague Dawley rat sciatic nerve defects using this nerve graft construction and nerve gap regeneration was indicated by electrophysiology, retrograde labeling and histology analysis. Therefore, we conclude that constructed nerve graft, offering nerve regeneration characteristics, hold great promise to replace autologous in repair peripheral nerve defect.

Abstract
Occlusion or blockage of silicone shunts utilized in the treatment of hydrocephalus is a major challenge that is currently addressed by multiple shunt replacements. Shunt occlusion is caused by the adhesion and proliferation of reactive cells, such as glial and vascular cells, into the lumen of the catheter and on valve components. This in vitro study describes how the adhesive behavior of four human cell types on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces can be suppressed by functionalization with trypsin, a proteolytic enzyme. The covalently conjugated trypsin retained its proteolytic activity and acted in a dose-dependent manner. Trypsin-modified PDMS surfaces supported significantly lower adhesion of normal human astrocytes, human microglia, human dermal fibroblasts, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells compared to unmodified PDMS surfaces (p < 0.0001). Immunofluorescence imaging of cellular fibronectin and quantitative adsorption experiments with serum components indicated that the PDMS surfaces immobilized with trypsin inhibited surface remodeling by all cell types and resisted protein adsorption. The impact of this work lies in the recognition that the well-known proteolytic characteristics of trypsin can be harnessed by covalent surface immobilization to suppress cell adhesion and protein adsorption.

Abstract
Neuroprosthetic devices have made a major impact in the treatment of a variety of disorders such as paralysis and stroke. However, a major impediment in the advancement of this technology is the challenge of maintaining device performance during chronic implantation (months to years) due to complex intrinsic host responses such as gliosis or glial scarring. The objective of this review is to bring together research communities in neurobiology, tissue engineering, and neuroprosthetics to address the major obstacles encountered in the translation of neuroprosthetics technology into long-term clinical use. This article draws connections between specific challenges faced by current neuroprosthetics technology and recent advances in the areas of nerve tissue engineering and neurobiology. Within the context of the device-nervous system interface and central nervous system implants, areas of synergistic opportunity are discussed, including platforms to present cells with multiple cues, controlled delivery of bioactive factors, three-dimensional constructs and in vitro models of gliosis and brain injury, nerve regeneration strategies, and neural stem/progenitor cell biology. Finally, recent insights gained from the fields of developmental neurobiology and cancer biology are discussed as examples of exciting new biological knowledge that may provide fresh inspiration toward novel technologies to address the complexities associated with long-term neuroprosthetic device performance.
