[PMID: 32086022 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.110859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Contact lens users very often become patients of allergic conjunctivitis, which is caused by protein and bacteria adsorption to the eye, because contact lenses easily adsorb proteins and bacteria. However, even if contact lens users develop eye diseases such as allergic conjunctivitis, most of them continue to use contact lenses to avoid interference to daily life or a decrease in their quality of life. If novel contact lenses able to prevent and additionally cure eye diseases can be manufactured, they could improve the quality of life of contact lens users worldwide. Thus, we aim to develop a novel material for contact lenses to prevent diseases by incorporating a zwitterionic polymer with the ability to suppress protein and bacteria adsorption. In addition, we also aim to effectively introduce and release a drug against allergic conjunctivitis from the contact lens material. Because the poorly water-soluble drug for allergic conjunctivitis (pranoprofen) forms a rigid crystal structure, we developed the novel "hot-melt press method" to construct a contact lens able to effectively release it. In the present study, polymer sheets containing carboxymethyl betaine (a kind of zwitterionic monomer), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone were prepared using three different procedures. The sheets were hydrophilic and showed a strong resistance against protein and bacteria adsorption. The sheets prepared by the hot-melt press method were transparent and seemed to have potential as a material for contact lenses. In addition, the drug introduced into the sheets during preparation was observed to release at a practically appropriate dose. Therefore, it is expected that the sheets could possibly be used as a material for contact lenses which not only protect against the development of eye trouble due to protein and bacterial adsorption, but also heal allergic conjunctivitis.

Abstract
A mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of an initiator (3-(2-bromo-2-isobutyryloxy)propyl triethoxysilane) for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and an agent (6-(triethoxysilyl)hexyl 2-(((methylthio)carbonothioyl)thio)-2-phenylacetate) for reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was constructed on the surface of a silicon wafer or glass plate by a silane coupling reaction. When a UV light at 254nm was irradiated at the mixed SAM through a photomask, the surface density of the bromine atom at the end of BPE in the irradiated region was drastically reduced by UV-driven scission of the BrC bond, as observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Consequently, the surface-initiated (SI)-ATRP of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA) was used to easily construct the poly(EHMA) (PEHMA) brush domain. Subsequently, SI-RAFT polymerization of a zwitterionic vinyl monomer, carboxymethyl betaine (CMB), was performed. Using the sequential polymerization, the PCMB and PEHMA brush domains on the solid substrate could be very easily patterned. Patterning proteins and cells with the binary polymer brush is expected because the PCMB brush indicated strong suppression of protein adsorption and cell adhesion, and the PEHMA brush had non-polar properties. This technique is very simple and useful for regulating the shape and size of bio-fouling and anti-biofouling domains on solid surfaces.

Abstract
A surface that resists protein adsorption and cell adhesion is highly desirable for many biomedical applications such as blood-contact devices and biosensors. In this study, we fabricated a carboxybetaine-containing surface and evaluated its antifouling efficacy. First, an amine-containing substrate was created by chemical vapor deposition of 4-aminomethyl-p-xylylene-co-p-xylylene (Amino-PPX). Aldehyde-ended carboxybetaine molecules were synthesized and conjugated onto Amino-PPX. The carboxybetaine-PPX surface greatly reduced protein adsorption and cell adhesion. The attachment of L929 cells on the carboxybetaine-PPX surface was reduced by 87% compared to the cell adhesion on Amino-PPX. Furthermore, RGD peptides could be conjugated on carboxybetaine-PPX to mediate specific cell adhesion. In conclusion, we demonstrate that a surface decoration with monocarboxybetaine molecules is useful for antifouling applications.
