Abstract
Protein and cell adhesion on temporary intravascular devices can lead to thrombosis and tissue embedment, significantly increasing complications and device retrieval difficulties. Here, we propose an endothelial glycocalyx-inspired dynamic antifouling surface strategy for indwelling catheters and retrievable vascular filters to prevent thrombosis and suppress intimal embedment. This strategy is realized on the surfaces of substrates by the intensely dense grafting of hydrolyzable endothelial polysaccharide hyaluronic acid (HA), assisted by an amine-rich phenol-polyamine universal platform. The resultant super-hydrophilic surface exhibits potent antifouling property against proteins and cells. Additionally, the HA hydrolysis induces continuous degradation of the coating, enabling removal of inevitable biofouling on the surface. Moreover, the dense grafting of HA also ensures the medium-term effectiveness of this dynamic antifouling surface. The coated catheters maintain a superior anti-thrombosis capacity in ex vivo blood circulation after 30 days immersion. In the abdominal veins of rats, the coated implants show inhibitory effects on intimal embedment up to 2 months. Overall, we envision that this glycocalyx-inspired dynamic antifouling surface strategy could be a promising surface engineering technology for temporary intravascular devices.

Functionalization of in vivo tissue-engineered living biotubes enhance patency and endothelization without the requirement of systemic anticoagulant administration. Bioact Mater 2023; 26:292-305.

Abstract
Vascular regeneration and patency maintenance, without anticoagulant administration, represent key developmental trends to enhance small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVG) performance. In vivo engineered autologous biotubes have emerged as SDVG candidates with pro-regenerative properties. However, mechanical failure coupled with thrombus formation hinder translational prospects of biotubes as SDVGs. Previously fabricated poly(ε-caprolactone) skeleton-reinforced biotubes (PBs) circumvented mechanical issues and achieved vascular regeneration, but orally administered anticoagulants were required. Here, highly efficient and biocompatible functional modifications were introduced to living cells on PB lumens. The 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-methoxy (DMPE)-PEG-conjugated anti-coagulant bivalirudin (DPB) and DMPE-PEG-conjugated endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-binding TPS-peptide (DPT) modifications possessed functionality conducive to promoting vascular graft patency. Co-modification of DPB and DPT swiftly attained luminal saturation without influencing cell viability. DPB repellent of non-specific proteins, DPB inhibition of thrombus formation, and DPB protection against functional masking of DPT's EPC-capture by blood components, which promoted patency and rapid endothelialization in rat and canine artery implantation models without anticoagulant administration. This strategy offers a safe, facile, and fast technical approach to convey additional functionalization to living cells within tissue-engineered constructs.

Improving performance of cell imprinted PDMS by integrating boronate affinity and local post-imprinting modification for selective capture of circulating tumor cells from cancer patients. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 223:115023. [PMID: 36542938 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.115023] [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: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Efficient capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patients is an important technique that may promote early diagnosis and prognosis monitoring of cancer. However, the existing systems have certain disadvantages, such as poor selectivity, low capture efficiency, consumption of antibodies, and difficulty in release of CTCs for downstream analysis. Herein, we fabricated an innovative PEGylated boronate affinity cell imprinted polydimethylsiloxane (PBACIP) for highly efficient capture of CTCs from cancer patients. The antibody-free PBACIP possessed hierarchical structure of imprinted cavities, which were inlaid with boronic acid modified SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2@BA), so it could specifically capture target CTCs from biological samples due to the synergistic effect of boronate affinity and cell imprinting. Furthermore, PEGylation was accurately completed in the non-imprinted region by the template cells occupying the imprinted cavity, which not only retained the microstructure of original imprinted cavities, but also endowed PBACIP with hydrophilicity. The artificial PBACIP could efficiently capture human breast-cancer cells from biological sample. When 5 to 500 SKBR3 cells were spiked in 1 mL mice lysed blood, the capture efficiency reached 86.7 ± 11.5% to 96.2 ± 2.3%. Most importantly, the PBACIP was successfully used to capture CTCs from blood of breast cancer patients, and the captured CTCs were released for subsequent gene mutation analysis. The PBACIP can efficiently capture and release CTCs for downstream analysis, which provides a universal strategy toward individualized anti-tumor comprehensive treatments and has great potential in the future cell-based clinical applications.

Abstract
Directed migration of cells through cell-surface interactions is a paramount prerequisite in biomaterial-induced tissue regeneration. However, whether and how the nanoscale spatial gradient of adhesion molecules on a material surface can induce directed migration of cells is not sufficiently known. Herein, we employed block copolymer micelle nanolithography to prepare gold nanoarrays with a nanospacing gradient, which were prepared by continuously changing the dipping velocity. Then, a self-assembly monolayer technique was applied to graft arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptides on the nanodots and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the glass background. Since RGD can trigger specific cell adhesion via conjugating with integrin (its receptor in the cell membrane) and PEG can resist protein adsorption and nonspecific cell adhesion, a nanopattern with cell-adhesion contrast and a gradient of RGD nanospacing was eventually prepared. In vitro cell behaviors were examined using endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as a demonstration. We found that SMCs exhibited significant orientation and directed migration along the nanospacing gradient, while ECs exhibited only a weak spontaneously anisotropic migration. The gradient response was also dependent upon the RGD nanospacing ranges, namely, the start and end nanospacings under a given distance and gradient. The different responses of these two cell types to the RGD nanospacing gradient provide new insights for designing cell-selective nanomaterials potentially used in cell screening, wound healing, etc.

Abstract
Self-driven droplet transport along an open gradient surface is increasingly becoming popular for various microfluidics applications. In this work, a gradient copper oxide layer is formed on a copper sheet (as a bipolar electrode, BPE) in a KOH solution by bipolar electrochemistry. The deposits at different positions present a rich variety of colors, compositions, and microstructures along the longitudinal axis of the BPE. More than half the length of the anodic pole is covered by a Cu(OH)2/CuO composite layer of several micrometers thick, which is composed of dense micropillars with a decreasing spacing gradient to the anodic direction. The micropillar arrays are superhydrophilic, and after modified with 1-dodecanethiol, the tops of the dense micropillars constitute a hydrophobic and microscopically discontinuous surface with a wettability gradient. On such a gradient surface water droplets can move spontaneously to more hydrophilic direction at a velocity of about 16 mm s-1. The superhydrophobicity of the modified micropillar arrays is discussed through a comparison with the wax tubules on a lotus leaf. Theoretical analysis of the driving force reveals that the concave surface effect of water at the spacings between the micropillars is the critical factor for driving the rolling motion of the droplets along the gradient micropillar arrays.

Abstract
Heart valves have extraordinary fatigue resistance which beat ≈3 billion times in a lifetime. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) made from fixed heteroplasm that are incrementally used in heart valve replacement fail to sustain the expected durability due to thrombosis, poor endothelialization, inflammation, calcification, and especially mechanical damage induced biocompatibility change. No effective strategy has been reported to conserve the biological properties of BHV after long-term fatigue test. Here, a double-network tough hydrogel is introduced, which interpenetrate and anchor into the matrix of decellularized porcine pericardium (dCell-PP) to form robust and stable conformal coatings and reduce immunogenicity. The ionic crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) network mimics the glycocalyx on endothelium which improves antithrombosis and accelerates endothelialization; the chemical crosslinked hydrophilic polyacrylamide (PAAm) network further enhances antifouling properties and strengthens the shielding hydrogels and their interaction with dCell-PP. In vitro and rabbit ex vivo shunt assay demonstrate great hemocompatibility of polyacrylamide/HA hydrogel hybrid PP (P/H-PP). Cell experiments and rat subcutaneous implantation confirm satisfactory endothelialization, biocompatibility, and anticalcification properties. For hydrodynamic experiment, P/H-PP gains full mark at different flow conditions and sustains excellent biomechanical and biological properties after 200 000 000 cycles. P/H double-network hydrogel armoring dCell-PP is a promising progress to extend BHV durability for clinical implantation therapy.

Impact of REDV peptide density and its linker structure on the capture, movement, and adhesion of flowing endothelial progenitor cells in microfluidic devices. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Ligand-immobilization to stents and vascular grafts is expected to promote endothelialization by capturing flowing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the optimized ligand density and linker structure have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report that flowing EPCs were selectively captured by the REDV peptide conjugated with a short linker. The microchannel surface was modified with the REDV peptide via Gly-Gly-Gly (G3), (Gly-Gly-Gly)3 (G9), and diethylene glycol (diEG) linkers, and the moving velocity and captured ratio were evaluated. On the unmodified microchannels, the moving velocity of the cells exhibited a unimodal distribution similar to the liquid flow. The velocity of the endothelial cells and EPCs on the peptide-immobilized surface indicated a bimodal distribution, and approximately 20 to 30% of cells moved slower than the liquid flow, suggesting that the cells were captured and rolled on the surface. When the immobilized ligand density was lower than 1 molecule/nm2, selective cell capture was observed only in REDV with G3 and diEG linkers, but not in G9 linkers. An in silico study revealed that the G9 linker tends to form a bent structure, and the REDV peptide is oriented to the substrate side. These results indicated that REDV captured the flowing EPC in a sequence-specific manner, and that the short linker was more adequate.

Abstract
Although many tissue regeneration processes after biomaterial implantation are related to migrations of multiple cell types on material surfaces, available tools to adjust relative migration speeds are very limited. Herein, we put forward a nanomaterial strategy to employ surface modification with arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) nanoarrays to tune in vitro cell migration using endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as demonstrated cell types. We found that migrations of both cell types exhibited a nonmonotonic trend with the increase of RGD nanospacing, yet with different peaks-74 nm for SMCs but 95 nm for ECs. The varied sensitivities afford a facile way to regulate the relative migration speeds. Although ECs migrated at a speed similar to SMCs on a non-nano surface, the migration of ECs could be controlled to be significantly faster or slower than SMCs simply by adjusting the RGD nanospacing. This study suggests a potential application of surface modification of biomaterials on a nanoscale level.

Abstract
Valve replacement surgery is the golden standard for end-stage valvular disease due to the lack of self-repair ability. Currently, bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) crosslinked by glutaraldehyde (GA) have been the most popular choice in clinic, especially after the emerge of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Nevertheless, the lifespan of BHVs is limited due to severe calcification and deterioration. In this study, to improve the anti-calcification property of BHVs, decellularized heart valves were modified by methacrylic anhydride to introduce double bonds (MADHVs), and a hybrid hydrogel made of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MAHA) was then coated onto the surface of MADHVs. Followed by grafting of Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV), an endothelial cell-affinity peptide, the BHVs with improved affinity to endothelial cell (SMHVs-REDV) was obtained. SMHVs-REDV exhibited excellent collagen stability, reliable mechanical property and superior hemocompatibility. Moreover, enhanced biocompatibility and endothelialization potential compared with GA-crosslinked BHVs were achieved. After subcutaneous implantation for 30 days, SMHVs-REDV showed significantly reduced immune response and calcification compared with GA-crosslinked BHVs. Overall, simultaneous endothelialization and anti-calcification can be realized by this strategy, which was supposed to be benefit for improving the main drawbacks for available commercial BHVs products.

Ulvan mediated VE cadherin antibody and REDV peptide co-modification to improve endothelialization potential of bioprosthetic heart valves. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 128:112337. [PMID: 34474888 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
An aging population and a rapid increase in the incidence of degenerative valve diseases have led to greater use of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs). The durability of glutaraldehyde cross-linked bioprostheses currently available for clinical use is poor due to calcification, coagulation, and degradation. Decellularization can partially reduce calcification by removal of xenogenic cells, but can also lead to thrombosis, which can be addressed by further surface modification. The natural sulfated polysaccharide ulvan possesses antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory properties, and can behave as a heparinoid to immobilize proteins through their heparin binding sites. VE-cadherin antibody and the Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptide can facilitate selective endothelial cell attachment, adhesion and proliferation. In this study, we functionalized decellularized porcine pericardium (DPP) with ulvan, REDV, and VE-cadherin antibody (U-R-VE). Ulvan was covalently modified to act as a protective coating and spacer for VE-cadherin antibody, and to immobilize REDV. In in vitro tests, we found that functionalization significantly and selectively promoted adhesion and growth of endothelial cells while reducing platelet adhesion, inflammation, and in vitro calcification of DPPs. In an in vivo subdermal implantation model, U-R-VE modified DPP exhibited greater endothelialization potential and biocompatibility compared with unmodified pericardium. Thus, U-R-VE modification provides a promising solution to the problem of preparing BHVs with enhanced endothelialization potential.

Abstract
Intimal hyperplasia, thrombosis formation, and delayed endothelium regeneration are the main causes that restrict the clinical applications of PTFE small-diameter vascular grafts (inner diameter < 6 mm). An ideal strategy to solve such problems is to facilitate in situ endothelialization. Since the natural vascular endothelium adheres onto the basement membrane, which is a specialized form of extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), functionalizing PTFE with an ECM coating was proposed. However, besides ECs, the ECM-modified PTFE improved SMC growth as well, thereby increasing the risk of intimal hyperplasia. In the present study, heparin was immobilized on the ECM coating at different densities (4.89 ± 1.02 μg/cm2, 7.24 ± 1.56 μg/cm2, 15.63 ± 2.45 μg/cm2, and 26.59 ± 3.48 μg/cm2), aiming to develop a bio-favorable environment that possessed excellent hemocompatibility and selectively inhibited SMC growth while promoting endothelialization. The results indicated that a low heparin density (4.89 ± 1.02 μg/cm2) was not enough to restrict platelet adhesion, whereas a high heparin density (26.59 ± 3.48 μg/cm2) resulted in decreased EC growth and enhanced SMC proliferation. Therefore, a heparin density at 7.24 ± 1.56 μg/cm2 was the optimal level in terms of antithrombogenicity, endothelialization, and SMC inhibition. Collectively, this study proposed a heparin-immobilized ECM coating to modify PTFE, offering a promising means to functionalize biomaterials for developing small-diameter vascular grafts.

Abstract
Selective adhesion and migration of urethral epithelial cells (HUCs) over fibroblasts (FIBs) are very important in the reconstruction of the urethral epithelial layer and prevention of ureteral scarring and stenosis. In this study, unsaturated polyurethane (PPFU-CO-SS) films were co-grafted with a cell-resisting poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) layer and HUC-selective Cys-Ala-Gly (CAG) peptides, whose physicochemical changes were confirmed by X-ray photon spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and water contact angle measurements. The adhesion and activation of platelets on the PEG/CAG grafted surface were significantly reduced compared to those on the PPFU-CO-SS, resulting in a similar status as that on a PEG-grafted surface. The HUC-selective material could obviously promote the adhesion and migration of HUCs. The ratio of the urethral epithelial cells to fibroblasts on the PEG/CAG grafted surface was nearly 3-fold that on the unmodified PPFU-CO-SS in a co-culture competitive environment. The urethral epithelial cells cultured on the PEG/CAG grafted surface also had the highest migration rate, which was 2.24-fold compared to that on the PPFU-CO-SS control.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with chemical diversity are significant to direct cell adhesion onto targeted surfaces, which provides solutions to further control over cell fates and even tissue formation. However, the site-specific modification of specific biomolecules to realize selective cell adhesion has been a challenge with the current methods when building 3D scaffolds. Conventional methods of immersing as-prepared structures in solutions of biomolecules lead to nonselective adsorption; recent printing methods have to address the problem of switching multiple nozzles containing different biomolecules. The recently developed concept of macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) based on the idea of "modular assembly" is promising to fabricate such 3D scaffolds with advantages of flexible design and combination of diverse modules with different surface chemistry. Herein we report an MSA method to fabricate 3D ordered structures with internal chemical diversity for site-selective cell adhesion. The 3D structure is prepared via 3D alignment of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) building blocks with magnetic pick-and-place operation and subsequent interfacial bindings between PDMS based on host/guest molecular recognition. The site-specific cell affinity is realized by distributing targeted building blocks that are modified with polylysine molecules of opposite chiralities: PDMS modified with films containing poly-l-lysine (PLL) show higher cell density than those with poly-d-lysine (PDL). This principle of selective cell adhesion directed simply by spatial distribution of chiral molecules has been proven effective for five different cell lines. This facile MSA strategy holds promise to build complex 3D microenvironment with on-demand chemical/biological diversities, which is meaningful to study cell/material interactions and even tissue formation.

Abstract
Surfaces with gradient topography are important in various fields but are difficult to fabricate. Herein, we report a facile and robust way to fabricate a surface with gradient topography of porous structure, in one direction, based on the breath figure (BF) method for the first time. The influencing factors including relative humidity (RH), sample immersion time, and solvent composition, affecting the speed, time, and model of the droplet growth, respectively, were investigated to control gradient BF pores with different ranges of pore sizes. Applying appropriate parameters, gradient BF pores with a diameter difference over 400% were prepared on one sample. The mechanism of gradient duration of solvent evaporation at different regions of a sample for fabricating gradient pores was proposed and experimentally verified with recording optical and thermographic changes of the sample in the BF procedure. This new method provides a novel site for gradient topography fabrication.

Abstract
The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (i.e., materiobiology) plays an increasingly pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds to treat diseases, aid in the restoration of bodily functions, construct healthy tissues, or regenerate diseased ones. However, the conventional approaches are incapable of screening the huge amount of potential material parameter combinations to identify the optimal cell responses and involve a combination of serendipity and many series of trial-and-error experiments. For advanced tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, highly efficient and complex bioanalysis platforms are expected to explore the complex interaction of cells with biomaterials using combinatorial approaches that offer desired complex microenvironments during healing, development, and homeostasis. In this review, we first introduce materiobiology and its high-throughput screening (HTS). Then we present an in-depth of the recent progress of 2D/3D HTS platforms (i.e., gradient and microarray) in the principle, preparation, screening for materiobiology, and combination with other advanced technologies. The Compendium for Biomaterial Transcriptomics and high content imaging, computational simulations, and their translation toward commercial and clinical uses are highlighted. In the final section, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed. High-throughput experimentation within the field of materiobiology enables the elucidation of the relationships between biomaterial properties and biological behavior and thereby serves as a potential tool for accelerating the development of high-performance biomaterials.

Abstract
As a component of extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid (HA) has plenty of applications in the biomedical field such as tissue engineering. Due to its non-adhesive nature, HA requires further grafting of functional molecules for cell related study. RGD and YIGSR are two kinds of cell adhesion peptides. YIGSR enhances endothelial cell (EC) adhesion, which is important for endothelialization after implantation of stents to prevent in-stent restenosis. However, the effect of combined densities of these peptides for EC and smooth muscle cell (SMC) adhesion has not been explored in a quantitative and high-throughput manner. In this work, single or orthogonal gradient densities of RGD and YIGSR were grafted onto the HA hydrogel array surfaces using thiol-norbornene click chemistry. Optimized peptide combinations for EC preponderant adhesion were found in hydrogel arrays and confirmed by scaling samples.

Abstract
As an urgently needed device for vascular diseases, the small-diameter vascular graft is limited by high thrombogenicity in clinical applications. Rapid endothelialization is a promising approach to construct an antithrombogenic inner surface of the vascular graft. The main bottleneck for rapid endothelialization is the adhesion, migration, and proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs) in situ of the small-diameter vascular graft. Herein, we innovatively fabricated an intelligent gene delivery small-caliber vascular graft based on electrospun poly(lactic acid-co-caprolactone) and gelatin for rapid in situ endothelialization. The graft surface was co-modified with EC adhesive peptide of Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) and responsive gene delivery system. REDV can selectively adhere ECs onto the graft surface; subsequently, the overexpressed matrix metalloproteinase by ECs can effectively cleave the linker peptide GPQGIWGQ-C; and finally, the gene complexes were intelligently and enzymatically released from the graft surface, and thereby, the gene can efficiently transfect ECs. Importantly, this enzymatically releasing gene surface has been proven to be safe and temporarily stable in blood flow owing to the biotin-avidin interaction to immobilize gene complexes on the inner surface of vascular grafts through the GPQGIWGQ-C peptide linker. It has the advantage of specifically adhering the ECs to the surface and smartly transfecting them with high transfection efficiency. The co-modified surface has been demonstrated to accelerate the luminal endothelialization in vivo, which might be attributed to the synergistic effect of REDV and effective gene transfection. Particularly, the intelligent and responsive gene release surface will open a new avenue to enhance the endothelialization of blood-contacting devices.

Abstract
In the field of tissue regeneration, the lack of a stable endothelial lining may affect the hemocompatibility of both synthetic and biological replacements. These drawbacks might be prevented by specific biomaterial functionalization to induce selective endothelial cell (EC) adhesion. Decellularized bovine pericardia and porcine aortas were selectively functionalized with a REDV tetrapeptide at 10−5 M and 10−6 M working concentrations. The scaffold-bound peptide was quantified and REDV potential EC adhesion enhancement was evaluated in vitro by static seeding of human umbilical vein ECs. The viable cells and MTS production were statistically higher in functionalized tissues than in control. Scaffold histoarchitecture, geometrical features, and mechanical properties were unaffected by peptide anchoring. The selective immobilization of REDV was effective in accelerating ECs adhesion while promoting proliferation in functionalized decellularized tissues intended for blood-contacting applications. Covalent functionalization of the decellularized tissues with REDV peptide accelerates endothelialization. New covalent grafting method not inducing collagen cross-linking. Measurements through two photon miscroscopy allow the quantification of biological matrix bound peptide. The decellularized tissues can be changed by chemical procedures to promote specific cellular behaviour with ECM preservation.

The impact of antifouling layers in fabricating bioactive surfaces. Acta Biomater 2021; 126:45-62. [PMID: 33727195 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2020] [Revised: 02/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Bioactive surfaces modified with functional peptides are critical for both fundamental research and practical application of implant materials and tissue repair. However, when bioactive molecules are tethered on biomaterial surfaces, their functions can be compromised due to unwanted fouling (mainly nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion). In recent years, researchers have continuously studied antifouling strategies to obtain low background noise and effectively present the function of bioactive molecules. In this review, we describe several commonly used antifouling strategies and analyzed their advantages and drawbacks. Among these strategies, antifouling molecules are widely used to construct the antifouling layer of various bioactive surfaces. Subsequently, we summarize various structures of antifouling molecules and their surface grafting methods and characteristics. Application of these functionalized surfaces in microarray, biosensors, and implants are also introduced. Finally, we discuss the primary challenges associated with antifouling layers in fabricating bioactive surfaces and provide prospects for the future development of this field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The nonspecific protein adsorption and cell adhesion will cause unwanted background "noise" on the surface of biological materials and detecting devices and compromise the performance of functional molecules and, therefore, impair the performance of materials and the sensitivity of devices. In addition, the selection of antifouling surfaces with proper chain length and high grafting density is also of great importance and requires further studies. Otherwise, the surface-tethered bioactive molecules may not function in their optimal status or even fail to display their functions. Based on these two critical issues, we summarize antifouling molecules with different structures, variable grafting methods, and diverse applications in biomaterials and biomedical devices reported in literature. Overall, we expect to shed some light on choosing the appropriate antifouling molecules in fabricating bioactive surfaces.

Abstract
Surface-grafted macromolecules, including polymers, DNA, peptides, etc., are versatile modifications to tailor the interfacial functions in a wide range of fields. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the most recent progress in engineering surface-grafted chains for the creation of complex and multiplexed surface architectures over micro- to macro-scopic areas. A brief introduction to surface grafting is given first. Then the fabrication of complex surface architectures is summarized with a focus on controlled chain conformations, grafting densities and three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, recent advances are highlighted for the generation of multiplexed arrays with designed chemical composition in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The applications of such complicated macromolecular architectures are then briefly discussed. Finally, some perspective outlooks for future studies and challenges are suggested. We hope that this review will be helpful to those just entering this field and those in the field requiring quick access to useful reference information about the progress in the properties, processing, performance, and applications of functional surface-grafted architectures.

Abstract
Although blood-contacting medical devices have been widely used in the biomedical field, their low endothelialization seriously limits their treatment success. Gene transfection can enhance the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells (ECs) in culture, yet using this technology to realize surface endothelialization still faces great challenges. Herein, we developed a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) responsive gene delivery surface for in situ smart release of genes from the biomaterial surface upon EC attachment and adhesion. The released genes induced by ECs can, in turn, effectively transfect ECs and enhance the surface endothelialization. An MMP-responsive gene delivery surface (Au-MCP@NPs) was constructed by immobilizing gene complex nanoparticles (NPs) onto a Au surface with MMP-cleavable peptide (MCP) grafted via biotin-avidin interaction. The Au-MCP@NP surface was demonstrated to responsively release NPs under the action of MMPs. More importantly, ECs were effectively transfected on this surface, leading to enhanced proliferation/migration in vitro. The in situ surface endothelialization was evaluated via implanting Au-MCP@NPs into rat aortas. The in vivo results demonstrated that this smart Au-MCP@NP surface could lead to the localized upregulation of ZNF580 protein and accelerate in situ endothelialization. This smart MMP-responsive gene delivery surface provided a promising and powerful strategy for enhanced in situ endothelialization of blood-contacting medical devices.

Abstract
Cardiovascular devices have been widely applied in the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, poor hemocompatibility and slow endothelialization on their surface still exist. Numerous surface engineering strategies have mainly sought to modify the device surface through physical, chemical, and biological approaches to improve surface hemocompatibility and endothelialization. The alteration of physical characteristics and pattern topographies brings some hopeful outcomes and plays a notable role in this respect. The chemical and biological approaches can provide potential signs of success in the endothelialization of vascular device surfaces. They usually involve therapeutic drugs, specific peptides, adhesive proteins, antibodies, growth factors and nitric oxide (NO) donors. The gene engineering can enhance the proliferation, growth, and migration of vascular cells, thus boosting the endothelialization. In this review, the surface engineering strategies are highlighted and summarized to improve hemocompatibility and rapid endothelialization on the cardiovascular devices. The potential outlook is also briefly discussed to help guide endothelialization strategies and inspire further innovations. It is hoped that this review can assist with the surface engineering of cardiovascular devices and promote future advancements in this emerging research field.

Abstract
The bioactive additive toolbox to functionalize supramolecular elastomeric materials expands rapidly. Here we have set an explorative step toward screening of complex combinatorial functionalization with antifouling and three peptide-containing additives in a bisurea-based supramolecular system. Thorough investigation of surface properties of thin films with contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, was correlated to cell-adhesion of endothelial and smooth muscle cells to apprehend their respective predictive values for functional biomaterial development. Peptides were presented at the surface alone, and in combinatorial functionalization with the oligo(ethylene glycol)-based non-cell adhesive additive. The bisurea-RGD additive was cell-adhesive in all conditions, whereas the endothelial cell-specific bisurea-REDV showed limited bioactive properties in all chemical nano-environments. Also, aspecific functionality was observed for a bisurea-SDF1α peptide. These results emphasize that special care should be taken in changing the chemical nano-environment with peptide functionalization. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) play a crucial role in the transportation of bioactive molecules. Although CPPs have been used widely in various delivery systems, further applications of CPPs are hampered by several drawbacks, such as high toxicity, low delivery efficiency, proteolytic instability and poor specificity. To design CPPs with great cell-penetrating ability, physicochemical properties and safety, researchers have tried to develop new methods to overcome the defects of CPPs. Briefly, (1) the side chain of arginine containing the guanidinium group is essential for the facilitation of cellular uptake; (2) the hydrophobic counterion complex around the guanidinium-rich backbone can "coat" the highly cationic structure with lipophilic moieties and act as an activator; (3) the conformation-constrained strategy was pursued to shield the peptide, thereby impeding access of the proteolytic enzyme; (4) targeting strategies can increase cell-type specificity of CPPs. In this review, the above four aspects were discussed in detail.

Abstract
Rapid endothelialization on small diameter artificial blood vessels is an effective strategy to facilitate long-term patency and inhibit thrombosis. The gene delivery can enhance the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells (ECs), which is beneficial for rapid endothelialization. REDV-G-TAT-G-NLS-Cys (abbreviated as TP-G) peptide could weakly condense pEGFP-ZNF580 (pZNF580) and transfect ECs, but its transfection efficiency was still very low because of its low positive charge, low stability and weak endosome escape ability. In order to develop more stable and efficient gene carriers with low cytotoxicity, in the present study, we conjugated different amounts of TP-G peptide onto poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-g-polyethylenimine (PLGA-g-PEI) amphiphilic copolymers via a hetero-poly(ethylene glycol) spacer (OPSS-PEG-NHS). The TP-G peptide and PEI could cooperatively and strongly condense pZNF580. The carrier's cytotoxicity was reduced by the introduction of poly(ethylene glycol) spacer. They condensed pZNF580 to form gene complexes (PPP-TP-G/pZNF580) with suitable size and positive zeta potential for gene delivery. The transfected ECs promoted their migration ability as demonstrated by cell migration assay. The results of cellular uptake and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed significantly high internalization efficiency, endosomal/lysosomal escape and nucleus location of pZNF580 by this multifunctional TP-G peptide sequence conjugated gene delivery system. Furthermore, several inhibitors were used to study the cellular uptake pathways of PPP-TP-G/pZNF580 complexes. The results showed that PPP-TP-G2/Cy5-oligonucleotide complexes exhibited the optimized endocytosis pathways which facilitated for cellular uptake. In conclusion, the multifunctional TP-G peptide conjugated gene carriers could promote the transfection efficiency due to the multifunction of REDV, cell-penetrating peptide and nuclear localization signal in the peptide sequence, which could be a suitable gene carrier for endothelialization.

Co-immobilization of CD133 antibodies, vascular endothelial growth factors, and REDV peptide promotes capture, proliferation, and differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells. Acta Biomater 2019; 96:137-148. [PMID: 31284097 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 06/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Capture of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in situ has been considered as a promising strategy for the rapid endothelialization and long-term patency of artificial blood vessels and implant devices. In this study, a CD133+ EPC capture surface was fabricated by grafting CD133 antibody (a more specific EPC surface marker than CD34) and Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptideon the methacrylate-grafted hyaluronic acid (MA-HA) and heparin-hybridized (MA-HA&Heparin) resisting layer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was further conjugated to the immobilized heparin. This engineered surface showed good hemocompatibility and significantly higher ability of capturing CD133+ EPCs from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and obviously upregulated the expression of endothelial cell (EC) marker genes of EPCs such as VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), CD31, VE-cadherin, and von Willebrand factor (vWF), facilitating the differentiation of EPCs into ECs. The dramatically enhanced EPC proliferation on this surface was dependent on the integrin-VEGFR synergistic signaling, as ERK1/2 phosphorylation was only significantly enhanced on the REDV and VEGF co-immobilized surface. This study highlights a new surface coating strategy for blood-contact materials based on the specific EPC capturing and rapid endothelialization. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Capture of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in situ is a promising strategy for the rapid endothelialization and long-term patency of artificial blood vessels and scaffolds. More specific capture of EPCs by targeting CD133 rather than CD34 can better reduce the risk of inflammation and restenosis. On the other hand, an appropriate microenvironment for EPC proliferation is equally important for endothelialization, which is rarely considered by the existing EPC capture strategies. In this study, the capture ratio of EPCs was significantly increased by simultaneously grafting CD133 antibody and VEGF on a MA-HA and heparin-hybridized antifouling layer. Further, proliferation of EPCs after capture was significantly promoted by grafting VEGF and REDV peptide through the integrin-VEGFR synergistic signaling. This study highlights a new strategy for the surface coating of blood-contact materials based on specific EPC capture and rapid endothelialization.

Abstract
Compared to bare-metal stents (BMSs), drug-eluting stents (DESs) have been regarded as a revolutionary change in coronary artery diseases (CADs). Releasing pharmaceutical agents from the stent surface was a promising progress in the realm of cardiovascular stents. Despite supreme advantages over BMSs, in-stent restenosis (ISR) and long-term safety of DESs are still deemed ongoing concerns over clinically application of DESs. The failure of DESs for long-term clinical use is associated with following factors including permanent polymeric coating materials, metallic stent platforms, non-optimal drug releasing condition, and factors that have recently been supposed as contributory factors such as degradation products of polymers, metal ions due to erosion and degradation of metals and their alloys utilizing in some stents as metal frameworks. Discovering the direct relation between stent materials and associating adverse effects is a complicated process, and yet it has not been resolved. For clinical success it is of significant importance to optimize DES design and explore novel strategies to overcome all problems including inflammatory response, delay endothelialization, and sub-acute stent thrombosis (ST) simultaneously. In this work, scientific reports are reviewed particularly focusing on recent advancements in DES design which covers both potential improvements of existing and recently novel prototype stent fabrications. Covering a wide range of information from the BMSs to recent advancement, this study mostly sheds light on DES's concepts, namely stent composition, drug release mechanism, and coating techniques. This review further reports different forms of DES including fully biodegradable DESs, shape-memory ones, and polymer-free DESs.

A density gradient of VAPG peptides on a cell-resisting surface achieves selective adhesion and directional migration of smooth muscle cells over fibroblasts. Acta Biomater 2018; 72:70-81. [PMID: 29635070 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Revised: 03/15/2018] [Accepted: 04/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Selective adhesion and migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) over fibroblasts (FIBs) is required to prevent adventitia fibrosis in vascular regeneration. In this study, a uniform cell-resisting layer of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with a density gradient of azide groups was generated on a substrate by immobilizing two kinds of PEG molecules in a gradient manner. A density gradient of alkynyl-functionalized Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VAPG) peptides was then prepared on the PEG layer via click chemistry. The VAPG density gradient was characterized by fluorescence imaging, revealing the gradual enhancement of the fluorescent intensity along the substrate direction. The adhesion and mobility of SMCs were selectively enhanced on the VAPG density gradient, leading to directional migration toward the higher peptide density (up to 84%). In contrast, the adhesion and mobility of FIBs were significantly weakened. The net displacement of SMCs also significantly increased compared with that on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) and that of FIBs on the gradient. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways related to cell migration were studied, showing higher expressions of functional proteins from SMCs on the VAPG-modified surface in a density-dependent manner. For the first time the selective adhesion and directional migration of SMCs over FIBs was achieved by an elaborative design of a gradient surface, leading to a new insight in design of novel vascular regenerative materials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Selective cell adhesion and migration guided by regenerative biomaterials are extremely important for the regeneration of targeted tissues, which can avoid the drawbacks of incorrect and uncontrolled responses of tissue cells to implants. For example, selectivity of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) over fibroblasts (FIBs) is required to prevent adventitia fibrosis in vascular regeneration. Herein we prepare a uniform cell-repelling layer, on which SMCs-selective Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VAPG) peptides are immobilized in a continuous manner. Selective adhesion and enhanced and directional migration of SMCs over FIBs are achieved by the interplay of cell-repelling layer and gradient SMCs-selective VAPG peptides, paving a new way for the design of novel vascular grafts with enhanced biological performance.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration involves versatile types of cells. The accumulation and disorganized behaviors of undesired cells impair the natural healing process, leading to uncontrolled immune response, restenosis, and/or fibrosis. Cell-selective surfaces and interfaces can have specific and positive effects on desired types of cells, allowing tissue regeneration with restored structures and functions. This review outlines the importance of surfaces and interfaces of biomaterials with cell-selective properties. The chemical and biological cues including peptides, antibodies, and other molecules, physical cues such as topography and elasticity, and physiological cues referring mainly to interactions between cells-cells and cell-chemokines or cytokines are effective modulators for achieving cell selectivity upon being applied into the design of biomaterials. Cell-selective biomaterials have also shown practical significance in tissue regeneration, in particular for endothelialization, nerve regeneration, capture of stem cells, and regeneration of tissues of multiple structures and functions.

Abstract
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prosthetic valves have been widely used in clinical applications in Asian countries. However, these valves still have limits with regard to thrombosis, neointimal hyperplasia, restenosis, and valvar vegetation. The achievement of in situ endothelialization on implant materials is a promising way to overcome those limits. Here, heparin/collagen multilayers were fabricated on ePTFE films via a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique, and then, the endothelial cell (EC) adhesive peptide sequence Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) was immobilized on the multilayers. After modification with the heparin/collagen multilayers with or without REDV peptide, less platelet activation and aggregation were observed, the blood coagulation time was increased, and the hemolysis rate was decreased compared to that on pristine ePTFE films. The REDV-functionalized ePTFE films positively impacted early EC adhesion, later cell proliferation and cell activity. The EC barrier was confirmed to be successfully achieved on the functionalized ePTFE film surface in vitro. The successful assembly of the REDV-functionalized heparin/collagen multilayer on ePTFE films improved the blood compatibility, anticoagulant properties, and cell compatibility of the films in vitro, and thus, represents a candidate approach for applications requiring quick in situ endothelialization in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene therapy has been developed and used in medical treatment for many years, especially for the enhancement of endothelialization and angiogenesis. But slow endosomal escape rate is still one of the major barriers to successful gene delivery. In order to evaluate whether introducing oligohistidine (Hn) sequence into gene carriers can promote endosomal escape and gene transfection or not, we designed and synthesized Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptide functionalized TAT-NLS-Hn (TAT: typical cell-penetrating peptide, NLS: nuclear localization signals, Hn: oligohistidine sequence, n: 4, 8 and 12) peptides with different Hn sequence lengths. pEGFP-ZNF580 (pZNF580) was condensed by these peptides to form gene complexes, which were used to transfect human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). RESULTS MTT assay showed that the gene complexes exhibited low cytotoxicity for HUVECs. The results of cellular uptake and co-localization ratio demonstrated that the gene complexes prepared from TAT-NLS-Hn with long Hn sequence (n = 12) benefited for high internalization efficiency of pZNF580. In addition, the results of western blot analysis and PCR assay of REDV-TAT-NLS-H12/pZNF580 complexes showed significantly enhanced gene expression at protein and mRNA level. Wound healing assay and transwell migration assay also confirmed the improved proliferation and migration ability of the transfected HUVECs by these complexes. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis assay illustrated that these complexes could promote the tube formation ability of HUVECs. CONCLUSION The above results indicated that the delivery efficiency of pZNF580 and its expression could be enhanced by introducing Hn sequence into gene carriers. The Hn sequence in REDV-TAT-NLS-Hn is beneficial for high gene transfection. These REDV and Hn functionalized TAT-NLS peptides are promising gene carriers in gene therapy.

Abstract
Introducing or grafting molecules onto biomaterial surfaces to regulate cell destination via biophysical cues is one of the important steps for biomaterial design in tissue engineering. Understanding how cells feel the substrate makes it easier to learn the mechanism behind cell-material interaction. In this study, on a glass substrate, we constructed poly-phenoxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) brushes having different lengths via a surface-induced atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) method. FTIR-ATR and XPS tests of the formed polymer brushes indicate that these brushes have characteristic chemical structures of PHEMA; the polymer brush length revealed by the AFM tests increases linearly with reaction time. Cell lines of BMSCs, ATDC5, and human chondrocytes (HC) were cultured on these substrates to evaluate proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. Our results demonstrated that the cells cultured on the substrates with short PHEMA brushes developed a spread morphology and organized actin fibers as compared to the cells cultured on those with long brushes. Different cell lines showed different responses depending on the PHEMA brush length. Cells cultured on long PHEMA brushes displayed a more rounded shape, higher gene expression of FAK and integrin, and lower gene expression of NCAM and N-cadherin as compared to those, especially ATDC5 cells, cultured on short PHEMA brushes. On PHEMA brushes with a long length, the cell lines express higher cartilage-specific genes including Sox9 and Col2 and GAG in ECM. The results suggest that polymer brushes having different lengths may interfere with the behavior of the cells cultured on them.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been intensively investigated as potential absorbable coronary stent materials as their use avoids risks such as late inflammation and restenosis generated by permanent metallic implants. Besides that, clinical trials on coronary stents fabricated from Mg alloys have made great progress recently. However, the over-rapid corrosion rate, magnesium corrosion-induced thrombosis formation and delayed endothelium regeneration continue to be problematic for coronary artery stent therapy. In this study, silk fibroin blended with heparin and GREDVY (Gly-Arg-Glu-Asp-Val-Tyr) peptide was immobilized on a HF-pretreated MgZnYNd alloy surface via a polydopamine layer to improve its corrosion resistance, blood compatibility and endothelialization. Standard electrochemical measurements along with the long-term immersion results indicated that the functionalized MgZnYNd alloy had preferable anti-corrosion abilities compared with the bare MgZnYNd alloy. The modified surface exhibited outstanding hemocompatibility with reduced platelet adhesion, hemolysis rate and prolonged blood coagulation time. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) co-culture results revealed more attached HUVECs on the functionalized samples than on the MgZnYNd alloy surfaces. The excellent corrosion retardation, hemocompatibility and re-endothelialization of the multi-functional coating indicate a promising method in the field of biodegradable magnesium-based implantable cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers have met with an increasing demand in medical usage over the last decades. One of such polymers is poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), which is a polyester that has been widely used in tissue engineering field for its availability, relatively inexpensive price and suitability for modification. Its chemical and biological properties, physicochemical state, degradability and mechanical strength can be adjusted, and therefore, it can be used under harsh mechanical, physical and chemical conditions without significant loss of its properties. Degradation time of PCL is quite long, thus it is used mainly in the replacement of hard tissues in the body where healing also takes an extended period of time. It is also used at load-bearing tissues of the body by enhancing its stiffness. However, due to its tailorability, use of PCL is not restricted to one type of tissue and it can be extended to engineering of soft tissues by decreasing its molecular weight and degradation time. This review outlines the basic properties of PCL, its composites, blends and copolymers. We report on various techniques for the production of different forms, and provide examples of medical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery systems covering the studies performed in the last decades.

Abstract
The molecular weights (MWs) of hyaluronic acid (HA) in extracellular matrix secreted from both vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play crucial roles in the cardiovascular physiology, as HA with appropriate MW influences important pathways of cardiovascular homeostasis, inhibits VSMC synthetic phenotype change and proliferation, inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, promotes endothelial monolayer repair and functionalization, and prevents inflammation and atherosclerosis. In this study, HA samples with gradients of MW (4 × 103, 1 × 105, and 5 × 105 Da) were prepared by covalent conjugation to a copolymerized film of polydopamine and hexamethylendiamine (PDA/HD) as multifunctional coatings (PDA/HD-HA) with potential to improve the biocompatibility of cardiovascular biomaterials. The coatings immobilized with high-MW-HA (PDA/HD-HA-2: 1 × 105 Da; PDA/HD-HA-3: 5 × 105 Da) exhibited a remarkable suppression of platelet activation/aggregation and thrombosis under 15 dyn/cm2 blood flow and simultaneously suppressed the adhesion and proliferation of VSMC and the adhesion, activation, and inflammatory cytokine release of macrophages. In particular, PDA/HD-HA-2 significantly enhanced VEC adhesion, proliferation, migration, and functional factors release, as well as the captured number of endothelial progenitor cells under dynamic condition. The in vivo results indicated that the multifunctional surface (PDA/HD-HA-2) created a favorable microenvironment of endothelial monolayer formation and functionalization for promoting reendothelialization and reducing restenosis of cardiovascular biomaterials.

Abstract
Cells respond to the mechanical signals from their surroundings and integrate physiochemical signals to initiate intricate mechanochemical processes. While many studies indicate that topological features of biomaterials impact cellular behaviors profoundly, little research has focused on the nuclear response to a mechanical force generated by a topological surface. Here, we fabricated a polymeric micropillar array with an appropriate dimension to induce a severe self-deformation of cell nuclei and investigated how the nuclear shape changed over time. Intriguingly, the nuclei of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) micropillars exhibited a significant initial deformation followed by a partial recovery, which led to an "overshoot" phenomenon. The treatment of cytochalasin D suppressed the recovery of nuclei, which indicated the involvement of actin cytoskeleton in regulating the recovery at the second stage of nuclear deformation. Additionally, we found that MSCs exhibited different overshoot extents from their differentiated lineage, osteoblasts. These findings enrich the understanding of the role of the cell nucleus in mechanotransduction. As the first quantitative report on nonmonotonic kinetic process of self-deformation of a cell organelle on biomaterials with unique topological surfaces, this study sheds new insight into cell-biomaterial interactions.
