Abstract
The study aims to determine how chitosan impacts pectin hydrogel's ability to attach peritoneal leukocytes, activate complement, induce hemolysis, and adsorb blood proteins. The hydrogels PEC-Chi0, PEC-Chi25, PEC-Chi50, and PEC-Chi75 were prepared by placing a mixture solution of 4% pectin and 4% chitosan in a ratio of 4:0, 3:1, 2:2, and 1:3 in a solution of 1.0 M CaCl2. Chitosan was found to modify the mechanical properties of pectin-calcium hydrogels, such as hardness and cohesiveness-to-adhesiveness ratio. Chitosan in the pectin-calcium hydrogel caused pH-sensitive swelling in Hanks' solution. The PEC-Chi75 hydrogel was shown to adsorb serum proteins at pH 7.4 to a greater extent than other hydrogels. PEC-Chi75's strong adsorption capacity was related to lower peritoneal leukocyte adherence to its surface when compared to other hydrogels, showing improved biocompatibility. Using the optical tweezers approach, it was shown that the force of interaction between pectin-chitosan hydrogels and plasma proteins increased from 10 to 24 pN with increasing chitosan content from 0 to 75%. Thus, the properties of pectin-calcium hydrogel, which determine interactions with body tissues after implantation, are improved by the addition of chitosan, making pectin-chitosan hydrogel a promising candidate for smart biomaterial development.

Abstract
Neutrophil migration requires β2 integrins and chemoattractant receptor signaling for motility and directionality. G protein subunit Gα13 can facilitate cell migration by mediating RhoA activation induced by G protein-coupled receptors. However, the possible role of Gα13-integrin interaction in migration is unclear. In this study, we show that Gα13 -/- neutrophils are deficient in transendothelial migration and migration on β2 integrin ligand ICAM-1. However, unlike G protein-coupled receptors and integrin inside-out signaling pathways, Gα13 is important in migration velocity and neutrophil spreading but not in directionality nor cell adhesion. Importantly, neutrophil recruitment in vivo was also inhibited in Gα13 -/- mice, suggesting the importance of Gα13 in transendothelial migration of neutrophils in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a synthetic peptide (MB2mP6) derived from the Gα13 binding site of β2 inhibited Gα13-β2 interaction and Gα13-mediated transient RhoA inhibition in neutrophils, suggesting that this peptide inhibited integrin outside-in signaling. MB2mP6 inhibited migration of control neutrophils through endothelial cell monolayers or ICAM-1-coated filters, but was without further effect on Gα13 -/- neutrophils. It also inhibited integrin-dependent neutrophil migration velocity without affecting directionality. In vivo, MB2mP6 markedly inhibited neutrophil infiltration into the cardiac tissues induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury. Thus, Gα13-dependent outside-in signaling enables integrin-dependent neutrophil motility without affecting directionality and may be a new therapeutic target for inhibiting neutrophil trafficking but not adhesion.

Abstract
The β2-integrin receptor family has a broad spectrum of physiological functions ranging from leukocyte adhesion, cell migration, activation, and communication to the phagocytic uptake of cells and particles. Among the members of this family, complement receptor 3 (CR3; CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, αMβ2) is particularly promiscuous in its functional profile and ligand selectivity. There are close to 100 reported structurally unrelated ligands for CR3, and while many ligands appear to cluster at the αMI domain, molecular details about binding modes remain largely elusive. The versatility of CR3 is reflected in its functional portfolio, which includes prominent roles in the removal of invaders and cell debris, induction of tolerance and synaptic pruning, and involvement in the pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune and chronic inflammatory pathologies. While CR3 is an interesting therapeutic target for immune modulation due to these known pathophysiological associations, drug development efforts are limited by concerns of potential interference with host defense functions and, most importantly, an insufficient molecular understanding of the interplay between ligand binding and functional impact. Here, we provide a systematic summary of the various interaction partners of CR3 with a focus on binding mechanisms and functional implications. We also discuss the roles of CR3 as an immune receptor in health and disease, as an activation marker in research and diagnostics, and as a therapeutic target.

Inflammation via myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 signaling mediates the fibrotic response to implantable synthetic poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels. Acta Biomater 2019; 100:105-117. [PMID: 31568879 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.09.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 09/20/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Synthetic hydrogels, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), are promising for a range of in vivo applications. However, like all non-biological biomaterials, synthetic hydrogels including PEG elicit a foreign body response (FBR). The FBR is thought to be initiated by adsorbed protein that is recognized by and subsequently activates inflammatory cells, notably macrophages, and culminates with fibrotic encapsulation. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive the FBR are not well understood. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key receptors that recognize pathogens, but also recognize altered host proteins that display damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Thus TLRs may play a role in the FBR. Here, we investigated myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), a signaling adaptor protein that mediates inflammatory cytokine production induced by most TLRs. An in vitro model was used consisting of macrophages cultured on the surface of synthetic hydrogels, specifically PEG, with pre-adsorbed serum proteins. Our in vitro findings demonstrate that MyD88-dependent signaling is the predominant inflammatory pathway in macrophage activation to synthetic hydrogels. When stimulated with TLR agonists to mimic additional DAMPs present in vivo, MyD88-dependent signaling was also the predominant pathway in macrophage activation. An in vivo model of PEG hydrogels implanted subcutaneously in wild-type and MyD88-/- mice also demonstrated that MyD88 is the key contributor to the recruitment of inflammatory cells and formation of the fibrous capsule surrounding the implanted hydrogel. Taken together, findings from this study identify MyD88-mediated inflammation as being a critical pathway involved not only in the inflammatory response, but in formation of the fibrous capsule to PEG hydrogels. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Synthetic hydrogels are promising for in vivo applications but, like all non-biological biomaterials, synthetic hydrogels elicit a foreign body response (FBR). The molecular mechanisms that drive the FBR are not well understood. This work identifies the myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) as a central mediator to macrophage activation in response to a poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel with pre-adsorbed proteins in vitro. Moreover, MyD88 was also central to the recruitment of inflammatory cells, which included neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, to implanted PEG hydrogels and to fibrous encapsulation. These findings demonstrate that MyD88-mediated inflammation is responsible in part for the formation of the fibrous capsule of the FBR.

Abstract
Background Nanocomposites produced by reinforcement of polysaccharide matrix with nanoparticles are widely used in engineering of biomaterials. However, clinical applications of developed novel biomaterials are often limited due to their poor biocompatibility. Purpose The aim of this work was to comprehensively assess biocompatibility of highly macroporous chitosan/agarose/nanohydroxyapatite bone scaffolds produced by a novel method combining freeze-drying with a foaming agent. Within these studies, blood plasma protein adsorption, osteoblast (MC3T3-E1 Subclone 4 and hFOB 1.19) adhesion and proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow and adipose tissue were determined. The obtained results were also correlated with materials' surface chemistry and wettability to explain the observed protein and cellular response. Results Obtained results clearly showed that the developed nanocomposite scaffolds were characterized by high biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. Importantly, the scaffolds also revealed osteoinductive properties since they have the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation (Runx2 synthesis) in undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells. The surface of biomaterials is extremely hydrophilic, prone to protein adsorption with the highest affinity toward fibronectin binding, which allows for good osteoblast adhesion, spreading, and proliferation. Conclusion Produced by a novel method, macroporous nanocomposite biomaterials have great potential to be used in regenerative medicine for acceleration of the bone healing process.

Abstract
Tissue engineered products (TEPs), which mean biomaterials containing either cells or growth factors or both cells and growth factors, may be used as an alternative to the autografts taken directly from the bone of the patients. Nevertheless, the use of TEPs needs much more understanding of biointeractions between biomaterials and eukaryotic cells. Despite the possibility of the use of in vitro cellular models for initial evaluation of the host response to the implanted biomaterial, it is observed that most researchers use cell cultures only for the evaluation of cytotoxicity and cell proliferation on the biomaterial surface, and then they proceed to animal models and in vivo testing of bone implants without fully utilizing the scientific potential of in vitro models. In this review, the most important biointeractions between eukaryotic cells and biomaterials were discussed, indicating molecular mechanisms of cell adhesion, proliferation, and biomaterial-induced activation of immune cells. The article also describes types of cellular models which are commonly used for biomaterial testing and highlights the possibilities and drawbacks of in vitro tests for biocompatibility evaluation of novel scaffolds. Finally, the review summarizes recent findings concerning the use of adult mesenchymal stem cells for TEP generation and compares the potential of bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived stem cells in regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Macrophages are the initial biologic responders to biomaterials. These highly plastic immune sentinels control and modulate responses to materials, foreign or natural. The responses may vary from immune stimulatory to immune suppressive. Several parameters have been identified that influence macrophage response to biomaterials, specifically size, geometry, surface topography, hydrophobicity, surface chemistry, material mechanics, and protein adsorption. In this review, the influence of these parameters is supported with examples of both synthetic and naturally derived materials and illustrates that a combination of these parameters ultimately influences macrophage responses to the biomaterial. Having an understanding of these properties may lead to highly efficient design of biomaterials with desirable biologic response properties.

Abstract
Poly(1, 4-butyl succinate) extended 1, 6-diisocyanatohexane (PBSu-DCH) polymers and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) scaffolds decorated with nano hydroxyl apatite have been prepared and characterized for regeneration of bone in cranio-maxillofacial region. Synthesized scaffolds revealed good response in bone regeneration and excellent cell viability in comparison to commercial available glass plate, which lead to better proliferation of MG-63 cell lines. Additionally, they demonstrate high porosity and excellent water retention ability. Moreover, controlled degradation (in pH=7.4) and sustained drug release in pH (4.5 and 7.4) are advantages of these scaffolds to serve as delivery vehicles for therapeutic drugs. Samples also provide the protection against Escherichia coli and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms which can be helpful for quick recovery of the patient. In-vitro inflammatory response has been assessed via adsorption of human plasma/serum proteins on the surface of the scaffolds. Results suggest that prepared scaffolds have good bone regeneration ability and provide friendly environment for the cell growth with the additional advantage of protection of the surrounding tissues from microbial infection. With all these features, it is speculated that these scaffolds will have wide utility in the area of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Initial protein adsorption to the material surface is crucial for osteoblast adhesion, survival, and rapid proliferation resulting in intensive new bone formation. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that modification of a chitosan matrix of chitosan/hydroxyapatite (chit/HA) biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications with linear β-1,3-glucan (curdlan) leads to promotion of serum protein adsorption to the resultant scaffold (chit/glu/HA) and thus in enhancement of osteoblast adhesion, spreading and proliferation. Fabricated biomaterials were pre-adsorbed with different protein solutions and then protein adsorption and osteoblast behavior on the scaffolds were compared. Moreover, surface chemical composition, wettability and surface energy of biomaterials were compared. Modification of the chitosan matrix with β-1,3-glucan introduces a greater polarpart in the resultant chitosan/β-1,3-glucan matrix presumably resulting from more OH groups within the curdlan structure. Moreover, FTIR-ATR results suggest that there might be some sort of chemical interaction between the NH group of chitosan and the OH group of β-1,3-glucan. As a consequence, the chit/glu/HA scaffold adsorbs significantly more adhesion proteins that are crucial for osteoblasts compared to the chit/HA material, providing a higher density culture of well-spread osteoblasts on its surface. Obtained results revealed that not only is chit/glu/HA biomaterial a promising scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications, but the specific polysaccharide chit/glu matrix itself is promising for use in the biomedical material field to modify various biomaterials in order to enhance osteoblast adhesion and proliferation on their surfaces.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate in vitro the risk of inflammatory response induced by chitosan/hydroxyapatite (chit/HA) and novel chitosan/β-1,3-glucan/hydroxyapatite (chit/glu/HA) bone scaffolds. The inflammatory response was assessed via measurement of proinflammatory cytokine and ROI production by human monocytes, macrophages, and osteoblasts stimulated with investigated scaffolds. Moreover, adsorption of human serum/plasma proteins to the tested materials was determined. Both biomaterials did not induce intracellular ROI generation by monocytes, macrophages, and osteoblasts and did not stimulate proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6 and TNF-α) production by inflammatory cells. Moreover, the chit/glu/HA material induced increased TNF-α production by osteoblasts that is believed to enhance osteogenic differentiation. Thus, it was demonstrated that chit/HA and chit/glu/HA scaffolds carry a low risk of biomaterial-induced inflammatory response and are promising materials as bone scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Immunology often conveys the image of large molecules, either in the soluble state or in the membrane of leukocytes, forming multiple contacts with a target for actions of the immune system. Avidity names the ability of a polyvalent molecule to form multiple connections of the same kind with ligands tethered to the same surface. Polyvalent interactions are vastly stronger than their monovalent equivalent. In the present review, the functional consequences of polyvalent interactions are explored in a perspective of recent theoretical advances in understanding the thermodynamics of such binding. From insights on the structural biology of soluble pattern recognition molecules as well as adhesion molecules in the cell membranes or in their proteolytically shed form, this review documents the prominent role of polyvalent interactions in making the immune system a formidable barrier to microbial infection as well as constituting a significant challenge to the application of nanomedicines.

Abstract
The biological surface adsorption index (BSAI) is a novel approach to characterize surface adsorption energy of nanomaterials that is the primary force behind nanoparticle aggregation, protein corona formation, and other complex interactions of nanomaterials within biological systems. Five quantitative nanodescriptors were obtained to represent the surface adsorption forces (hydrophobicity, hydrogen bond, polarity/polarizability, and lone-pair electrons) of the nanomaterial interaction with biological components. We have mapped the surface adsorption forces over 16 different nanomaterials. When the five-dimensional information of the nanodescriptors was reduced to two dimensions, the 16 nanomaterials were classified into distinct clusters according their surface adsorption properties. BSAI nanodescriptors are intrinsic properties of nanomaterials useful for quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model development. This is the first success in quantitative characterization of the surface adsorption forces of nanomaterials in biological conditions, which could open a quantitative avenue in predictive nanomedicine development, risk assessment, and safety evaluation of nanomaterials.

Protein ultrastructure and the nanoscience of complement activation. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2011; 63:1008-19.

Abstract
The complement system constitutes an important barrier to infection of the human body. Over more than four decades structural properties of the proteins of the complement system have been investigated with X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, small-angle scattering, and atomic force microscopy. Here, we review the accumulated evidence that the nm-scaled dimensions and conformational changes of these proteins support functions of the complement system with regard to tissue distribution, molecular crowding effects, avidity binding, and conformational regulation of complement activation. In the targeting of complement activation to the surfaces of nanoparticulate material, such as engineered nanoparticles or fragments of the microbial cell wall, these processes play intimately together. This way the complement system is an excellent example where nanoscience may serve to unravel the molecular biology of the immune response.

Abstract
This study reports the use of tetraethylene glycol-terminated self-assembled monolayers (EG(4) SAMs) as a background non-fouling surface to study the effect of an 18 carbon ligand (C18) on albumin selective and reversible adsorption and subsequent platelet and leukocyte adhesion. Surface characterization techniques revealed an efficient immobilization of different levels of C18 ligand on EG(4) SAMs and an increase of surface thickness and hydrophobicity with the increase of C18 ligands. Albumin adsorption increased as the percentage of C18 ligands on the surface increased, but only 2.5%C18 SAMs adsorbed albumin in a selective and reversible way. Adherent platelets also increased with the amount of immobilized C18. Pre-immersion of samples in albumin before contact with platelets demonstrated an 80% decrease in platelet adhesion. Pre-immersion in plasma was only relevant for 2.5%C18 SAMs since this was the only surface to have less platelet adhesion compared to buffer pre-immersion. EG(4) SAMs adhered negligible amounts of leukocytes, but surfaces with C18 ligands have some adherent leukocytes. Except for 10%C18 SAMs, which increased leukocyte adhesion after albumin pre-adhesion, protein pre-immersion did not influence leukocyte adhesion. It has been shown that a surface with a specific surface concentration of albumin-binding ligands (2.5%C18 SAMs) can recruit albumin selectively and reversibly and minimize the adhesion of platelets, despite still adhering some leukocytes.

Abstract
When culturing cells on flexible surfaces, it is important to consider extracellular matrix treatments that will remain on the surface under mechanical strain. Here we investigate differences in laminin deposited on oxidized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with plasma treatment (plasma-only) vs. plasma and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane treatment (silane-linked). We use specular X-ray reflectivity (SXR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and immunofluorescence to probe the quantity and uniformity of laminin. The surface coverage of laminin is approximately 45% for the plasma-only and 50% for the silane-linked treatment as determined by SXR. TEM and immunofluorescence reveal additional islands of laminin aggregates on the plasma-only PDMS compared with the relatively smooth and uniform silane-linked laminin surface. We also examine laminin retention under strain and vascular smooth muscle cell viability and proliferation under static and strain conditions. Equibiaxial stretching of the PDMS surfaces shows greatly improved retention of the silane-linked laminin over plasma-only. There are significantly more cells on the silane-linked surface after 4 days of equibiaxial strain.

Abstract
It is known that adsorbed adhesive proteins on implanted biomaterials modulate inflammatory responses; however, modulation of dendritic cell (DC) responses upon interaction with adhesive proteins has only begun to be characterized. DCs are specialized antigen-presenting cells that modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. Previously we have shown that the activation and stimulatory capacity of DCs derived from C57BL6/j mice is differentially modulated by adhesive substrates. Here we extend our investigation of adhesive substrate modulation of DC responses to consider the case where the DCs had maturational defects associated with diabetes. Understanding the adhesive responses of DCs in diabetics is potentially important for immunotherapy and tissue engineering applications. In this work we use the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse, an established animal model for type 1 diabetes, to generate DCs (NOD-DCs). We demonstrate that NOD-DCs cultured on different adhesive substrates (collagen, fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, albumin and serum) respond with substrate-dependent modulation of the surface expression of the stimulatory molecule MHC-II and the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 and production of the cytokines IL-12p40 and IL-10. Furthermore, the capacity of NOD-DCs to stimulate CD4(+) T-cell proliferation and cytokine production (IL-4 and IFN-γ) showed substrate-dependent modulation. Specifically, NOD-DCs cultured on vitronectin induced the highest IL-12p40 production, whereas collagen induced the highest IL-10 production. Dendritic cells cultured on collagen, fibrinogen and serum-coated substrates stimulated the highest CD4(+) T-cell proliferation. It was further determined that DCs cultured on vitronectin induced the highest percent population of IL-4-producing T-cells and DCs cultured on a fibronectin-coated substrate induced the highest expression of IFN-γ in T-cells. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed high correlations between T-cell proliferation and DC expression level of CD80 and T-cell production of IL-4 and DC production of IL-10. This demonstration of substrate-based control of NOD-DC activatory and stimulatory capacity, distinct from non-diabetic B6-DC responses, establishes the field of adhesive modulation of immune cell responses and informs the rational design of biomaterials for patients with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The superelastic, shape memory alloy nitinol ( approximately 50% nickel and approximately 50% titanium) is an important medical device material used for stent applications. However, the role specific surfaces properties have in protein adsorption remain controversial. In this study the effects of nitinol wire surface roughness, hydrophobicity and elemental composition upon albumin adsorption are investigated. In particular, we demonstrate that the technique of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in the so-called surface mode can be used for the direct detection of albumin on the wire surfaces. In addition, albumin adsorbing to the wires was determined by using (125)I-labelled albumin. Albumin was detected on all wire samples. Surface roughness and hydrophobicity appeared to have no effect on albumin adsorption. There was however a clear correlation between the surface nickel and oxygen concentration and the amount of albumin adsorbed. Samples with higher levels of nickel and less oxygen in the surface oxide layer of the wires showed increased albumin adsorption, which could lead to improved biocompatibility. However, nickel is a toxic substance and can cause many adverse effects on humans, and thus nitinol with a slightly enriched surface nickel concentration that does not exhibit nickel release may have potential as a medical device material.

Abstract
The promiscuous CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) integrin has important roles in regulating many immunologic functions such as leukocyte adhesion and emigration from the bloodstream via interactions with the endothelial ligands ICAM-1 and ICAM-2, iC3b-mediated phagocytosis, and apoptosis. However, the mechanisms for Mac-1 inside-out activation have remained poorly understood. Phosphorylation of integrin cytoplasmic domains is emerging as an important mechanism of regulating integrin functions. Here, we have studied phosphorylation of human CD11b, which takes place on the cytoplasmic Ser1126 in neutrophils. We show that mutation of the serine phosphorylation site leads to inability of Mac-1 to become activated to bind the cellular ligands ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. However, CD11b-mutant cells are fully capable of binding other studied CD11b ligands (ie, iC3b and denatured BSA). Activation epitopes expressed in the extracellular domain of the integrin and affinity for soluble ICAM ligands were decreased for the mutated integrin. Additionally, the mutation resulted in inhibition of chemokine-induced migration in a transendothelial assay in vitro and significantly reduced the accumulation of intravenously administered cells in the spleen and lungs of Balb/c mice. These results characterize a novel selective mechanism of Mac-1-integrin activation, which mediates leukocyte emigration from the bloodstream to the tissues.

Abstract
In experiments investigating the adhesive properties of the rainbow trout splenic monocyte-like cell line RTS11 it was found that the cells bound with low affinity to plates coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) but that phorbol ester-induced activation/differentiation greatly increased adhesion to BSA. Similarly, pre-exposure to 500 microM MnCl(2) at time of plating, increased RTS11 adhesion to BSA coated plates, in agreement with the reported ability of divalent cations such as Mn(2+) to activate integrins. Integrins are a diverse family of heterodimeric cell surface glycoproteins that have been shown to mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. Transcripts of the beta(2)-integrin CD18 were detected by PCR in RTS11 but not in RTG-2 cells, a fibroblastic lineage derived from rainbow trout gonads. These results suggest that differentiated RTS11 express molecules related to members of the beta(2)-integrin subfamily such as the macrophage lineage marker Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) and/or p150,95 (CD11c/CD18) and possibly as well alpha(4)beta(1) of the beta(1)-integrin subfamily.

Abstract
The influence of different surface modifications with poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) layers on the adsorption of fibrinogen and the adhesion and activation of macrophage-like human leukocytes was investigated. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was modified using pulsed AC plasma polymerization with two types of starting monomers to generate: 1) a reactive acid surface using maleic anhydride (MAH) as monomer, and 2) a PEG-like surface using diethyleneglycol methyl vinyl ether (DEGVE) as monomer. The MAH surface was used as a reactive platform to graft linear chains of non-fouling mPEG via an intermediate layer of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) under lower critical solution temperature (LCST) conditions of the mPEG. The DEGVE monomer is used to create PEG-like layers by use of low power plasma conditions. The ability of the surfaces to resist protein adsorption was investigated quantitatively using (125)I-radiolabeled human fibrinogen, and the conformation of the adsorbed protein was tested using an anti-fibrinogen monoclonal antibody in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that PEGylated surfaces adsorbed significantly less (up to 90% less) fibrinogen, and that unfolding of adsorbed fibrinogen was more pronounced on the linear mPEG layers than on the PEG-like plasma polymer surfaces. Adhesion of in-vitro differentiated macrophage-like U937 cells was reduced on both the PEG-like plasma polymer surfaces and the linear mPEG layers compared to the unmodified PET surface, but cells adhering to the PEG-like plasma polymer surfaces secreted less tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) than cells adhering to the linear mPEG layers. In conclusion, the method for preparing non-fouling surfaces for long-term implanted devices influence surface-induced cellular responses of the host.
