Biomimetic fabrication of sr-silk fibroin co-assembly hydroxyapatite based microspheres with angiogenic and osteogenic properties for bone tissue engineering. Mater Today Bio 2024; 25:101011. [PMID: 38445010 PMCID: PMC10912917 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, or developmental abnormalities are important issues in clinical practice. The vigorous development of tissue engineering technology provides new ideas and directions for regenerating bone defects. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a bioactive ceramic, is extensively used in bone tissue engineering because of its excellent osteoinductive performance. However, its application is challenged by its single function and conventional environment-unfriendly synthesis methods. In this study, we successfully "green" synthesized sr-silk fibroin co-assembly hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Sr-SF-HA) using silk fibroin (SF) as a biomineralized template, thus enabling it to have angiogenic activity and achieving the combination of organic and inorganic substances. Then, the rough composite microspheres loaded with Sr-SF-HA (CS/Sr-SF-HA) through electrostatic spraying technology and freeze-drying method were prepared. The CCK-8 test and live/dead cell staining showed excellent biocompatibility of CS/Sr-SF-HA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining (ARS), immunofluorescence, western blotting, and qRT-PCR test showed that CS/Sr-SF-HA activated the expression of related genes and proteins, thus inducing the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Moreover, tube formation experiments, scratch experiments, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR detection indicated that CS/Sr-SF-HA have good angiogenic activity. Furthermore, in vivo studies showed that the CS/Sr-SF-HA possesses excellent biocompatibility, vascular activity, as well as ectopic osteogenic ability in the subcutaneous pocket of rats. This study indicates that the construction of CS/Sr-SF-HA with angiogenic and osteogenic properties has great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127792. [PMID: 37923033 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127792] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Tung oil derivatives are promising alternatives to traditional toxic plasticizers for improving the toughness of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) films. In this study, a tung oil-based quaternary ammonium salt (Q-ETO) was synthesized using a multi-step process involving epoxidation, ring opening, and substitution reactions. PLA based composite films with various amounts of Q-ETO were prepared by solvent casting. The impact of various amount of Q-ETO on PLA/Q-ETO composite films were evaluated with regard to their mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, water vapor permeability, optical properties, thermal stability, antibacterial properties, and leaching properties. The PLA/5%Q-ETO composite film yielded the highest elongation at break (82.52 ± 9.53 %), which was 153.67 % higher than that of pure PLA. All PLA composite films showed an antibacterial efficiency exceeding 90 % against both S. aureus and E. coli. Moreover, the PLA/Q-ETO composite film blocked the transmission of both ultraviolet and visible light while preventing the permeation of water vapor. The addition of Q-ETO only weakly affected the color and thermal stability of the PLA/Q-ETO composite film. Given the numerous advantages of the PLA composite film, it has significant potential for application as a food packaging material.

Upscaling of Electrospinning Technology and the Application of Functionalized PVDF-HFP@TiO 2 Electrospun Nanofibers for the Rapid Photocatalytic Deactivation of Bacteria on Advanced Face Masks. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4586. [PMID: 38231986 PMCID: PMC10708761 DOI: 10.3390/polym15234586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, Electrospinning (ES) has been revealed to be a straightforward and innovative approach to manufacture functionalized nanofiber-based membranes with high filtering performance against fine Particulate Matter (PM) and proper bioactive properties. These qualities are useful for tackling current issues from bacterial contamination on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) surfaces to the reusability of both disposable single-use face masks and respirator filters. Despite the fact that the conventional ES process can be upscaled to promote a high-rate nanofiber production, the number of research works on the design of hybrid materials embedded in electrospun membranes for face mask application is still low and has mainly been carried out at the laboratory scale. In this work, a multi-needle ES was employed in a continuous processing for the manufacturing of both pristine Poly (Vinylidene Fluoride-co-Hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers and functionalized membrane ones embedded with TiO2 Nanoparticles (NPs) (PVDF-HFP@TiO2). The nanofibers were collected on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) nonwoven spunbond fabric and characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis. The photocatalytic study performed on the electrospun membranes proved that the PVDF-HFP@TiO2 nanofibers provide a significant antibacterial activity for both Staphylococcus aureus (~94%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (~85%), after only 5 min of exposure to a UV-A light source. In addition, the PVDF-HFP@TiO2 nanofibers exhibit high filtration efficiency against submicron particles (~99%) and a low pressure drop (~3 mbar), in accordance with the standard required for Filtering Face Piece masks (FFPs). Therefore, these results aim to provide a real perspective on producing electrospun polymer-based nanotextiles with self-sterilizing properties for the implementation of advanced face masks on a large scale.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have been tremendously utilised, such as; antibacterial and anticancer agents. Although metal nanoparticles exhibits antibacterial and anticancer activity, but the drawback of toxicity on normal cells limits their clinical applications. Therefore, improving the bioactivity of hybrid nanomaterials (HNMs) and minimizing toxicity is of paramount importance for biomedical applications. Herein, a facile and simple double precipitation method was used to develop biocompatible and multifunctional HNM from antimicrobial chitosan, curcumin, ZnO and TiO2. In HNM, biomolecules chitosan and curcumin were used to control the toxicity of ZnO and TiO2 and improve their biocidal properties. The cytotxicological properties of the HNM was studied against human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and fibroblast (L929) cell lines. The antimicrobial activity of the HNM was examined against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, via the well-diffusion method. In addition, the antioxidant property was evaluated by the radical scavenging method. These findings actively, support the ZTCC HNMs potential, as an innovative biocidal agent for applications in the clinical and healthcare sectors.

Abstract
Biosafe antibacterial agents are urgently demanded in treating infection especially chronic infection. However, efficient and controlled release of those agents remains great challenging. Two nature-derived agents, lysozyme (LY) and chitosan (CS), are selected to establish a facile method for long-term bacterial inhibition. We incorporated LY into the nanofibrous mats, then deposited CS and polydopamine (PDA) on the surface by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly. In this vein, LY is gradually released with the degradation of nanofibers, and CS is rapidly disassociated from the nanofibrous mats to synergistically result in a potent inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) over a period of 14 days. Besides long-term antibacterial capacity, LBL-structured mats could readily achieve a strong tensile stress of 6.7 MPa with an increase percentage of up to 103%. The enhanced proliferation of L929 cells arrives at 94% with help of CS and PDA on the surface of nanofibers. In this vein, our nanofiber has a variety of advantages including biocompatibility, strong long-term antibacterial effect, and skin adaptability, revealing the significant potential to be used as highly safe biomaterial for wound dressings.

Chitosan/silk fibroin composite bilayer PCL nanofibrous mats for bone regeneration with enhanced antibacterial properties and improved osteogenic potential. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 230:123265.

Abstract
In regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering, various composite materials are enormously popular, but the final tissue restoration outcome is not always satisfactory. In this study, bilayer-deposited multifunctional nanofiber mats were successfully fabricated with an osteogenic side of silk fibroin/poly (ε-caprolactone) (referred to as SF/PCL) and an antibacterial side of poly (ε-caprolactone)/chitosan (referred to as PCL/CS). The PCL/CS-SF/PCL (referred to as PCSP) mats exhibited biocompatible properties, sufficient hydrophilicity and mechanical properties, as well as a higher breaking strength (3.6 MPa) than the monolayer of SF/PCL mats (1.5 MPa). The antibacterial side of PCSP mats (A-layer) demonstrated ideal antibacterial potency because the survival rate of Escherichia coli (E. coli) (approximately 25 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (approximately 15 %) were both significantly lower. Subsequently, the plasmid encoding runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) was complexed with the osteogenic side of PCSP mats (O-layer) through polyethyleneimine (PEI), thereby enhancing both osteogenesis-related gene expression and the formation of mineralized nodules. Similarly, the implantation of PCSP+Runx2 mats effectively promoted bone tissue generation in vivo. These results indicated the excellent prospects of applying PCSP mats to bone regeneration with gene delivery.

Abstract
Wound infections, especially infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria, are a serious public health issue worldwide. In addition, the accumulation microbial biofilm of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases the risk and physically obstruct its healing activity at the wound site. Therefore, the development of an eminent agent to control wound infection is urgently needed. Here, we report a novel chitosan (a natural biological macromolecule)-modified self-nanoemulsifying system (CSN) with lipophilic chlorhexidine acetate (CAA, a poorly water-soluble agent) that was designed and prepared using low-energy emulsification methods. We found that CSN displays better antibacterial efficacy, which occurs more quickly than its aqueous solution, in destroying the structure of the bacterial cell membrane and promoting the leakage of nucleic acids, proteins, K+, and Mg2+ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells. Importantly, CSN also accelerates skin wound healing after Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection by inhibiting biofilm formation and eradicating mature biofilms. Moreover, the proteomic results suggested that CSN altered membrane permeability and cellular membrane metabolism, allowing more drug molecules to enter the cytosol. Based on these results, this lipophilic self-nanoemulsifying system may be applied in the treatment of skin wounds caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
Electrospinning has the advantages of simple manufacturing equipment, a low spinning cost, wide range of spinnable materials, and a controllable mild process, which can continuously fabricate submicron or nanoscale ultrafine polymer fibers without high temperature or high pressure. The obtained nanofibrous films may have a large specific surface area, unique pore structure, and easy-to-modify surface characteristics. This review briefly introduces the types and fiber structures of electrospinning and summarizes the applications of electrospinning for food production (e.g., delivery systems for functional food, filtration of beverages), food packaging (e.g., intelligent packaging, antibacterial packaging, antioxidant packaging), and food analysis (e.g., pathogen detection, antibiotic detection, pesticide residue detection, food compositions analysis), focusing on the advantages of electrospinning applications in food systems. Furthermore, the limitations and future research directions of the technique are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, chitosan (CS) film containing covalent organic frameworks (COFs) immobilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were developed for food packaging with improved antibacterial activities and film properties. COFs-AgNPs were fabricated via in-situ synthesis of immobilizing AgNPs on COFs. Transmission electron microscope, Zeta potential, X-ray diffraction, element mapping and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the successful fabrication of COFs-AgNPs, and COFs-AgNPs showed superior antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Furthermore, the as-prepared COFs-AgNPs composite was further used to fabricate CS composite films (CS/COFs-AgNPs) by a solution casting method. The findings showed that the tensile strength of the nanocomposite films enhanced dramatically with the increase of the COFs-AgNPs content, while the UV-visible light barrier property, water swelling and solubility properties, and water vapor permeability (WVP) decreased significantly. Not only that, the CS/COFs-AgNPs nanocomposite films also showed outstanding antibacterial activity and effectively prolonged the storage time of white crucian carp (Carassius auratus). As a result, CS/COFs-AgNPs nanocomposite films show great potential in active food packaging.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) is increasingly needed in tissue engineering for its superior biocompatibility. However, the practical applications of pure SF biomaterials confront bacterial infection problems. In this study, chitosan (CS) and polydopamine (PDA) were introduced into electrospun nanofibrous SF mats through layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL) to obtain enhanced antibacterial ability and cytocompatibility. The surface morphology and composition analysis confirmed the successful deposition. After depositing 15 bilayers, the tensile modulus of the mats in wet condition increased from 2.16 MPa (pristine SF mats) to 4.89 MPa. A trend towards better hydrophilicity performance was also recorded with more bilayers coating on the mats. Besides, LBL structured mats showed improved antibacterial ability of more than 98 % against E. coli and S. aureus. In addition, advancement in biocompatibility was observed during the proliferation experiment of L929 cells. Overall, the deposition of CS and PDA may further expand the use of SF in biomedical field.

Abstract
Biological meshes have always posed a challenge in biological medicine, for which nanocomposites with enhanced biocompatibility and antibacterial activity may be beneficial. In this study, lysozyme (LY) and collagen (Col) were alternately deposited on silk fibroin (SF) and nylon 6 (N6) composite nanofibrous mats using a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. The mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity of the LBL structured mats were characterized systematically to investigate the impact of the LBL process on the biological properties of SF/N6 nanofibrous mats. Our results showed that the effective deposition of LY and Col may affect the surface topography, mechanical properties, and wetting behavior of the SF/N6 nanofibrous mats. Moreover, LBL structured mats exhibited excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. Among all the tested mats, those coated with 10 bilayers of LY and Col displayed the best biocompatibility, and relatively good mechanical and antibacterial properties. Thus, LBL structured mats, especially those with a 10 bilayer coating, are potentially valuable in clinical therapy for pelvic organ prolapse in the future.

Environmentally responsive and anti-bugs textile finishes - Recent trends, challenges, and future perspectives. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 690:667-682. [PMID: 31301507 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.06.520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Revised: 06/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Bugs, such as microorganisms and insects, are present in the environment and sometimes can be health-hazardous if the living environment is not maintained following proper hygienic regulations. In the present scenario of increasing public awareness, environmental consciousness, and growing demand for easy-care, and disinfected textiles, the manufacturing of protective and easy-to-care textiles has become a key necessity of the modern world. Comfortable, clean, hygienic, antimicrobial, and insect repelling properties of textile goods are gaining the accelerating research momentum as a basic requirement to produce multifunctional textiles. These functional finishes have numerous applications such as in-home textiles, bed nets, and tenting, camping gear as well as in military uniforms. Synthetic antimicrobial and insect repellents are quite effective against insects and microscopic organisms but are slightly toxic to the human being and the environment. To overcome these problems, researchers are considering natural agents for functional finishes, but their effectiveness is less durable to textile material. Besides needful advantages, the excessive use of dyes in finishing processes heavily required washing cycles and ultimately release various types of hazardous dyes or wasteful effluents in the environment. This review reports the chemical composition and recent developments in textile finishes, particularly antimicrobial and insect repellent textile finishes. A large number of commonly used antimicrobial agents (i.e. chitosan, zwitterionic compounds, silver and silver-based compounds, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, imidazolium salts, triclosan and quaternary ammonium salts) and insect repellent textile finishes (i.e. N‑N‑diethyl‑m‑toluamide, permethrin, cypermethrin, pyrethrum, picaridin, bioallethrin, citriodiol and essential oils) have been presented. Finally, the review is wrapped up with major research gaps/challenges, concluding remarks, and future opportunities in this area of research.
