Bioact Mater 2024; 42:366-378. [PMID: 39308552 PMCID: PMC11414576 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.09.009] [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: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Thrombosis and infection are pivotal clinical complications associated with interventional blood-contacting devices, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. To address these issues, we present a stepwise metal-catechol-(amine) (MCA) surface engineering strategy that efficiently integrates therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas and antibacterial peptide (ABP) onto catheters, ensuring balanced anti-thrombotic and anti-infective properties. First, copper ions were controllably incorporated with norepinephrine and hexanediamine through a one-step molecular/ion co-assembly process, creating a NO-generating and amine-rich MCA surface coating. Subsequently, azide-polyethylene glycol 4-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl and dibenzylcyclooctyne modified ABP were sequentially immobilized on the surface via amide coupling and bioorthogonal click chemistry, ensuring the dense grafting of ABP while maintaining the catalytic efficacy for NO. This efficient integration of ABP and NO-generating ability on the catheter surface provides potent antibacterial properties and ability to resist adhesion and activation of platelets, thus synergistically preventing infection and thrombosis. We anticipate that this synergistic modification strategy will offer an effective solution for advancing surface engineering and enhancing the clinical performance of biomedical devices.

Bioinspired ultra-low fouling coatings on medical devices to prevent device-associated infections and thrombosis. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:1015-1024.

Abstract
Addressing thrombosis and biofouling of indwelling medical devices within healthcare institutions is an ongoing problem. In this work, two types of ultra-low fouling surfaces (i.e., superhydrophobic and lubricant-infused slippery surfaces) were fabricated to enhance the biocompatibility of commercial medical grade silicone rubber (SR) tubes that are widely used in clinical care. The superhydrophobic (SH) coatings on the tubing substrates were successfully created by dip-coating in superhydrophobic paints consisting of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), perfluorosilane-coated hydrophobic zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The SH surfaces were converted to lubricant-infused slippery (LIS) surfaces through the infusion of silicone oil. The anti-biofouling properties of the coatings were investigated by adsorption of platelets, whole blood coagulation, and biofilm formation in vitro. The results revealed that the LIS tubes possess superior resistance to clot formation and platelet adhesion than uncoated and SH tubes. In addition, bacterial adhesion was investigated over 7 days in a drip-flow bioreactor, where the SH-ZnO-Cu tube and its slippery counterpart significantly reduced bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation of Escherichia coli relative to control tubes (>5 log10 and >3 log10 reduction, respectively). The coatings also demonstrated good compatibility with fibroblast cells. Therefore, the proposed coatings may find potential applications in high-efficiency on-demand prevention of biofilm and thrombosis formation on medical devices to improve their biocompatibility and reduce the risk of complications from medical devices.

Abstract
This research was aimed at the preparation of a hybrid film based on a layered silicate saponite (Sap) with the immobilized photosensitizer phloxine B (PhB). Sap was selected because of its high cation exchange capacity, ability to exfoliate into nanolayers, and to modify different surfaces. The X-ray diffraction of the films confirmed the intercalation of both the surfactant and PhB molecules in the Sap film. The photosensitizer retained its photoactivity in the hybrid films, as shown by fluorescence spectra measurements. The water contact angles and the measurement of surface free energy demonstrated the hydrophilic nature of the hybrid films. Antimicrobial effectiveness, assessed by the photodynamic inactivation on hybrid films, was tested against a standard strain and against methicillin-resistant bacteria of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). One group of samples was irradiated (green LED light; 2.5 h) and compared to nonirradiated ones. S. aureus strains manifested a reduction in growth from 1-log10 to over 3-log10 compared to the control samples with Sap only, and defects in S. aureus cells were proven by scanning electron microscopy. The results proved the optimal photo-physical properties and anti-MRSA potential of this newly designed hybrid system that reflects recent progress in the modification of surfaces for various medical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine coated central venous catheters (CSS-CVC) may cause loss of antimicrobial efficacy due to friction between the CVC surface and sheer stress caused by the blood flow. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of CSS-CVC at various flow rates using a bloodstream model. METHODS Each CVC was subjected to various flow rates (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 L/min) and wear-out times (0, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours), and the optical density (OD) 600 after a Staphylococcus aureus incubation test was used to determine the antibacterial effect of CSS-CVC. RESULTS In the 0.5 L/min group, there was no significant change in the OD600 value up to 120 hours compared with the baseline OD600 value for CSS-CVC (P > .467). However, the OD600 values of CSS-CVC in the 1 L/min (P < .001) and 2 L/min (P < .001) groups were significantly reduced up to 72 hours, while that in the 4 L/min (p < 0.001) group decreased rapidly up to 48 hours. CONCLUSION This study suggests that there is a doubt whether sufficient antibacterial function can be maintained with prolonged duration of catheter placement.

Abstract
Insertion of a central venous catheter is one of the most common invasive procedures applied in hemodialysis therapy for end-stage renal disease. The most important complication of a central venous catheter is catheter-related infections that increase hospitalization and duration of intensive care unit stay, cost of treatment, mortality, and morbidity rates. Pathogenic microorganisms, such as, bacteria and fungi, enter the body from the catheter insertion site and the surface of the catheter can become colonized. The exopolysaccharide-based biofilms from bacterial colonies on the surface are the main challenge in the treatment of infections. Catheter lock solutions and systemic antibiotic treatment, which are commonly used in the treatment of hemodialysis catheter-related infections, are insufficient to prevent and terminate the infections and eventually the catheter needs to be replaced. The inadequacy of these approaches in termination and prevention of infection revealed the necessity of coating of hemodialysis catheters with bactericidal and/or antiadhesive agents. Silver compounds and nanoparticles, anticoagulants (e.g., heparin), antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin and chlorhexidine) are some of the agents used for this purpose. The effectiveness of few commercial hemodialysis catheters that were coated with antibacterial agents has been tested in clinical trials against catheter-related infections of pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis with promising results. Novel biomedical materials and engineering techniques, such as, surface micro/nano patterning and the conjugation of antimicrobial peptides, enzymes, metallic cations, and hydrophilic polymers (e.g., poly [ethylene glycol]) on the surface, has been suggested recently.

Abstract
Antimicrobial materials are widely used for inhibition of microorganisms in the environment. It has been established that bacterial growth can be restrained by silver nanoparticles. Combining these with other antimicrobial agents, such as ZnO, may increase the antimicrobial activity and the use of carrier substrate makes the material easier to handle. In the paper, we present an antimicrobial nanocomposite based on silver nanoparticles nucleated in general silicate nanostructure ZnO·mSiO2. First, we prepared the silicate fine net nanostructure ZnO·mSiO2 with zinc content up to 30 wt% by precipitation of sodium water glass in zinc acetate solution. Silver nanoparticles were then formed within the material by photoreduction of AgNO3 on photoactive ZnO. This resulted into an Ag-ZnO·mSiO2 composite with silica gel-like morphology and the specific surface area of 250 m2/g. The composite, alongside with pure AgNO3 and clear ZnO·mSiO2, were successfully tested for antimicrobial activity on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains and yeast Candida albicans. With respect to the silver content, the minimal inhibition concentration of Ag-ZnO·mSiO2 was worse than AgNO3 only for gram-negative strains. Moreover, we found a positive synergistic antimicrobial effect between Ag and Zn agents. These properties create an efficient and easily applicable antimicrobial material in the form of powder.

Abstract
This study reports an eco-friendly-based method for the preparation of biopolymer Ag-Au nanoparticles (NPs) by using gum kondagogu (GK; Cochlospermum gossypium), as both reducing and protecting agent. The formation of GK-(Ag-Au) NPs was confirmed by UV-absorption, fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The GK-(Ag-Au) NPs were of 1-12 nm in size. The anti-proliferative activity of nanoparticle constructs was assessed by MTT assay, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Expression studies revealed up-regulation of p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) PPARa and PPARb, genes and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(K) genes, in B16F10 cells treated with GK-(Ag-Au) NPs confirming the anti-proliferative properties of the nanoparticles.

Archaeal tetraether lipid coatings-A strategy for the development of membrane analog spacer systems for the site-specific functionalization of medical surfaces. Biointerphases 2018; 13:011004.

Abstract
The primary goal of our investigation was the development of a versatile immobilization matrix based on archaeal tetraether lipids that meets the most important prerequisites to render an implant surface bioactive by binding specific functional groups or functional polymers with the necessary flexibility and an optimal spatial arrangement to be bioavailable. From this point of view, it appears obvious that numerous efforts made recently to avoid initial bacterial adhesion on catheter surfaces as an important prerequisite of material associated infection episodes have shown only a limited efficiency since the bioactive entities could not be presented in an optimal conformation and a stable density. A significant improvement of this situation can be achieved by highly specific biomimetic modifications of the catheter surfaces. The term "biomimetic" originates from the fact that specific archaeal tetraether lipids were introduced to form a membrane analog monomolecular spacer system, which (1) can be immobilized on nearly all solid surfaces and (2) chemically modified to present a tailor-made functionality in contact with aqueous media either to avoid or inhibit surface fouling or to equip any implant surface with the necessary chemical functionality to enable cell adhesion and tissue integration. Ultrathin films based on tetraether lipids isolated from archaea Thermoplasma acidophilum were used as a special biomimetic immobilization matrix on the surface of commercial medical silicon elastomers. A complete performance control of the membrane analog coatings was realized in addition to biofunctionality tests, including the proof of cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility according to DIN EN ISO 10993. In order to make sure that the developed immobilization matrix including the grafted functional groups are biocompatible under in vivo-conditions, specific animal tests were carried out to examine the in vivo-performance. It can be concluded that the tetraether lipid based coating systems on silicone have shown no signs of cytotoxicity and a good hemocompatibility. Moreover, no mutagenic effects, no irritation effects, and no sensitization effects could be demonstrated. After an implantation period of 28 days, no irregularities were found.

Abstract
Simultaneous antibacterial and anticoagulant surfaces have been prepared by immobilization of engineered gold nanoparticles onto different kinds of surfaces. The gold nanoparticle core is surrounded by a hemocompatible, anticoagulant polysaccharide, 6-O chitosan sulfate, which serves as reduction and stabilizing agent for the generation of gold nanoparticles in a microwave mediated reaction. The particle suspension shows anticoagulant activity, which is investigated by aPTT and PT testing on citrated blood samples of three patients suffering from congenital or acquired bleeding disorders. The amount of nanoparticles deposited on the surfaces is quantified by a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation unit. All gold containing surfaces exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties against the chosen model organism, Escherichia coli MG 1655 [R1-16]. Moreover, blood plasma coagulation times of the surfaces are increased after deposition of the engineered nanoparticles as demonstrated by QCM-D.

Abstract
In this work, antibacterial and anti-adhesive polymeric thin films were constructed on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous membranes in order to extend their applications. Polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHGH) as an antibacterial agent and heparin (HP) as an anti-adhesive agent have been successfully coated onto the membranes via a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibacterial properties of LBL-functionalized PAN nanofibrous membranes were evaluated using the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the dependence of the antibacterial activity and anti-biofouling performance on the number of layers in the LBL films was investigated quantitatively. It was found that these LBL-modified nanofibrous membranes possessed high antibacterial activities, easy-cleaning properties and stability under physiological conditions, thus qualifying them as candidates for anti-biofouling coatings.

Abstract
Silver nanolayers were sputtered on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and subsequently transformed into discrete nanoislands by thermal annealing. The Ag/PTFE composites prepared under different conditions were characterized by several complementary methods (goniometry, UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy), and new data on the mechanism of Ag layer growth and Ag atom clustering under annealing were obtained. Biocompatibility of selected Ag/PTFE composites was studied in vitro using vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) cultures. Despite of the well-known inhibitory properties of silver nanostructures towards broad spectrum of bacterial strains and cells, it was found that very thin silver coating stimulates both adhesion and proliferation of VSMCs.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a long-term active antimicrobial coating for surgical sutures. To this end, two water-insoluble polymeric nanocontainers based on hyperbranched polylysine (HPL), hydrophobically modified by either using glycidyl hexadecyl ether, or a mixture of stearoyl/palmitoyl chloride, were synthesized. Highly stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs, 2-5 nm in size) were generated by dissolving silver nitrate in the modified HPL solutions in toluene followed by reduction with L-ascorbic acid. Poly(glycolic acid)-based surgical sutures were dip-coated with the two different polymeric silver nanocomposites. The coated sutures showed high efficacies of more than 99.5% reduction of adhesion of living Staphylococcus aureus cells onto the surface compared to the uncoated specimen. Silver release experiments were performed on the HPL-AgNP modified sutures by washing them in phosphate buffered saline for a period of 30 days. These coatings showed a constant release of silver ions over more than 30 days. After this period of washing, the sutures retained their high efficacies against bacterial adhesion. Cytotoxicity tests using L929 mouse fibroblast cells showed that the materials are basically non-cytotoxic.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a frequent cause of catheter-related infections. S. aureus secretes the coagulases staphylocoagulase and von Willebrand factor-binding protein, both of which form a staphylothrombin complex upon binding to prothrombin. Although fibrinogen and fibrin facilitate the adhesion of S. aureus to catheters, the contribution of staphylothrombin-mediated fibrin has not been examined. In this study, we use a S. aureus mutant lacking both coagulases (Δcoa/vwb) and dabigatran, a pharmacological inhibitor of both staphylothrombin and thrombin, to address this question. Genetic absence or chemical inhibition of pathogen-driven coagulation reduced both fibrin deposition and the retention of S. aureus on catheters in vitro. In a mouse model of jugular vein catheter infection, dabigatran reduced bacterial load on jugular vein catheters, as well as metastatic kidney infection. Importantly, inhibition of staphylothrombin improved the efficacy of vancomycin treatment both in vitro and in the mouse model.
