[PMID: 39029178 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126571] [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: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
We develop color-encoded multicompartmental hydrogel (MH) microspheres tailored for multiplexed bioassays using a drop-based microfluidic approach. Our method involves the creation of triple emulsion drops that feature thin sacrificial oil layers separating two prepolymer phases. This configuration leads to the formation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) multi-compartmental core-shell microspheres through photopolymerization, followed by the removal of the thin oil layers. The core compartments stably incorporate pigments, ensuring their retention within the hydrogel network without leakage, which facilitates reliable color encoding across varying spatial positions. Additionally, we introduce small molecule fluorescent labeling into the chemically functionalized shell compartments, achieving consistent distribution of functional components without the core's contamination. Importantly, our integrated one-pot conjugation of these color-encoded microspheres with affinity peptides enables the highly sensitive and selective detection of influenza virus antigens using a fluorescence bioassay, resulting in an especially low detection limit of 0.18 nM and 0.66 nM for influenza virus H1N1 and H5N1 antigens, respectively. This approach not only highlights the potential of our microspheres in clinical diagnostics but also paves the way for their application in a wide range of multiplexed assays.

Abstract
Influenza viruses are known to cause pandemic flu outbreaks through both inter-human and animal-to-human transmissions. Therefore, the rapid and accurate detection of such pathogenic viruses is crucial for effective pandemic control. Here, we introduce a novel sensor based on affinity peptide-immobilized hydrogel microspheres for the selective detection of influenza A virus (IAV) H3N2. To enhance the binding affinity performance, we identified novel affinity peptides using phage display and further optimized their design. The functional hydrogel microspheres were constructed using the drop microfluidic technique, employing a structure composed of natural (chitosan) and synthetic (poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and PEG 6 kDa) polymers with the activation of azadibenzocyclooctyne for the subsequent click chemistry reaction. The binding peptide-immobilized hydrogel microsphere (BP-Hyd) was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and exhibited selective detection capability for the IAV H3N2. To capture the detected IAV H3N2, a Cy3-labeled IAV hemagglutinin antibody was utilized. By incorporating the affinity peptide with hydrogel microspheres, we achieved quantitative and selective detection of IAV H3N2 with a detection limit of 1.887 PFU mL-1. Furthermore, the developed suspension sensor exhibited excellent reproducibility and showed reusability potential. Our results revealed that the BP-Hyd-based fluorescence sensor platform could be feasibly employed to detect other pathogens because the virus-binding peptides can be easily replaced with other peptides through phage display, enabling selective and sensitive binding to different targets.

Abstract
Amphiphilic chitosan derivatives have attracted wide attention as drug carriers due to their physicochemical properties. However, obtaining a desired amphiphilic chitosan derivative by tuning the various functional groups was complex and time-consuming. Therefore, a facile and common synthesis strategy would be promising. In this study, a modular strategy based on strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) click reaction was designed and applied in synthesizing deoxycholic acid- or octanoic acid-modified N-azido propionyl-N,O-sulfate chitosan through tuning the hydrophobic groups. Additionally, chitosan derivatives with the same substitute groups were prepared via amide coupling as controls. We demonstrated that these derivates via the two strategies showed no obvious difference in physicochemical properties, drug loading ability and biosafety, indicating the feasibility of modular strategy. Notably, the modular strategy exhibited advantages including high reactivity, flexibility and reproducibility. We believe that this modular strategy could provide varied chitosan derivatives in an easy and high-efficiency way for improving multifunctional drug carriers.

Abstract
Different types of click chemistry reactions are proposed and used for the functionalization of surfaces and materials, and covalent attachment of organic molecules. In the present work, two different catalyst-free click approaches, namely azide-alkyne and thiol-alkyne click chemistry are studied and compared for the immobilization of microarrays of azide or thiol inks on functionalized glass surfaces. For this purpose, the surface of glass is first functionalized with dibenzocyclooctyne-acid (DBCO-acid), a cyclooctyne with a carboxyl group. Then, the DBCO-terminated surfaces are functionalized via microchannel cantilever spotting with different fluorescent and nonfluorescent azide and thiol inks. Although both routes work reliably for surface functionalization, the protein binding experiments reveal that using a thiol-alkyne route will obtain the highest surface density of molecular immobilization in such spotting approaches. The obtained achievements and results from this work can be used for design and manufacturing of microscale patterns suitable for biomedical and biological applications.

Abstract
Genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can serve as a potent nanotemplate for high capacity protein conjugation through covalent coupling to its coat proteins with precise nanoscale spacing. TMV's own genomic RNA can also be exploited for orientationally controlled assembly onto various platforms with sequence and spatial selectivity via nucleic acid hybridization. Here we describe detailed methods for fabrication of hydrogel microparticles with capture DNA sequences, chemical activation and programming of TMV templates, TMV assembly with the microparticles and protein conjugation via bio-orthogonal click reactions.

Abstract
Surface modifications with tethered growth factors have mainly been applied to synthetic polymeric biomaterials in well-controlled, acellular settings, followed by seeding with cells. The known bio-orthogonality of copper-free click chemistry provides an opportunity to not only use it in vitro to create scaffolds or pro-migratory tracks in the presence of living cells, but also potentially apply it to living tissues directly as a coupling modality in situ. In this study, we studied the chemical coupling of growth factors to collagen using biocompatible copper-free click chemistry and its effect on the enhancement of growth factor activity in vitro. We verified the characteristics of modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) using mass spectrometry and an EGF/EGF receptor binding assay, and evaluated the chemical immobilization of EGF on collagen by copper-free click chemistry using surface X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that the anchoring was noncytotoxic, biocompatible, and rapid. Moreover, the surface-immobilized EGF had significant effects on epithelial cell attachment and proliferation. Our results demonstrate the possibility of copper-free click chemistry as a tool for covalent bonding of growth factors to collagen in the presence of living cells. This approach is a novel and potentially clinically useful application of copper-free click chemistry as a way of anchoring growth factors to collagen and foster epithelial wound healing.

Abstract
This paper reports injectable hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels crosslinked with azide-modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) via the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) between cyclooctyne and azide groups. Cyclooctyne-modified HA (Cyclooctyne-HA) is prepared by the reaction of HA with 2-(aminoethoxy)cyclooctyne. To crosslink the modified HA, quadruply azide-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (Azide-PEG) is designed and prepared. The mixture of Cyclooctyne-HA and Azide-PEG gelates in a few minutes to form a strong HA-PEG hydrogel. The hydrogel has fast gelation time, good strength, and slow degradation rate, because of the high reactivity of SPAAC, high crosslinking density originated from the quadruply-substituted Azide-PEG, and the good stability of the crosslinking amide bonds. In vitro cell culturing within the hydrogel demonstrated an excellent cell-compatibility. The bioorthogonality of SPAAC makes the hydrogel injectable. With good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the hydrogel would be useful in a wide range of applications such as injection filling materials for plastic surgery.

Abstract
We demonstrate a robust and tunable micromolding method to fabricate chemically functional poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (p(AAm-co-AA)) hydrogel microspheres with uniform dimensions and controlled porous network structures for rapid biomacromolecular conjugation. Specifically, p(AAm-co-AA) microspheres with abundant carboxylate functional groups are fabricated via surface-tension-induced droplet formation in patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) molds and photoinduced radical polymerization. To demonstrate the chemical functionality, we enlisted rapid EDC/NHS (1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)) chemistry for fluorescent labeling of the microspheres with small-molecule dye fluorescein glycine amide. Epifluorescence imaging results illustrate the uniform incorporation of carboxylate groups within the microspheres and rapid conjugation kinetics. Furthermore, protein conjugation results using red fluorescent protein R-phycoerythrin demonstrate the highly porous nature of the microspheres as well as the utility of the microspheres and the EDC/NHS scheme for facile biomacromolecular conjugation. Combined, these results illustrate the significant potential for our fabrication-conjugation strategy in the development of biofunctionalized polymeric hydrogel microparticles toward rapid biosensing, bioprocess monitoring, and biodiagnostics.

Abstract
Functionalized polymeric microparticles possess significant potential for controlled drug delivery and biosensing applications, yet current fabrication techniques face challenges in simple and scalable fabrication and biofunctionalization. For programmable manufacture of biofunctional microparticles in a simple manner, we have developed robust micromolding methods combined with biopolymeric conjugation handles and bioorthogonal click reactions. In this focused minireview, we present detailed methods for our integrated approaches for fabrication of microparticles with controlled 2D and 3D shapes and dimensions toward controlled release, and for biomacromolecular conjugation via strain promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) and tetrazine-trans-cyclooctene (Tz-TCO) ligation reactions utilizing a potent aminopolysaccharide chitosan as an efficient conjugation handle. We believe that the fabrication-conjugation methods reported here from a range of our recent reports illustrate the simple, robust and readily reproducible nature of our approaches to creating multifaceted microparticles in a programmable, cost-efficient and scalable manner toward a wide range of medical and biotechnological application areas.

Abstract
Polymeric hydrogel microparticle-based suspension arrays with shape-based encoding offer powerful alternatives to planar and bead-based arrays toward high throughput biosensing and medical diagnostics. We report a simple and robust micromolding technique for polyacrylamide- (PAAm-) based biopolymeric-synthetic hybrid microparticles with controlled 2D shapes containing a potent aminopolysaccharide chitosan as an efficient conjugation handle uniformly incorporated in PAAm matrix. A postfabrication conjugation approach utilizing amine-reactive chemistries on the chitosan shows stable incorporation and retained chemical reactivity of chitosan, readily tunable macroporous structures via simple addition of low content long-chain PEG porogens for improved conjugation capacity and kinetics, and one-pot biomacromolecular assembly via bioorthogonal click reactions with minimal nonspecific binding. We believe that the integrated fabrication-conjugation approach reported here could offer promising routes to programmable manufacture of hydrogel microparticle-based biomacromolecular conjugation and biofunctionalization platforms for a large range of applications.

Abstract
Due to their hydrophilic, biocompatible, and highly tunable nature, hydrogel materials have attracted strong interest in the recent years for numerous biotechnological applications. In particular, their solution-like environment and non-fouling nature in complex biological samples render hydrogels as ideal substrates for biosensing applications. Hydrogel coatings, and later, gel dot surface microarrays, were successfully used in sensitive nucleic acid assays and immunoassays. More recently, new microfabrication techniques for synthesizing encoded particles from hydrogel materials have enabled the development of hydrogel-based suspension arrays. Lithography processes and droplet-based microfluidic techniques enable generation of libraries of particles with unique spectral or graphical codes, for multiplexed sensing in biological samples. In this review, we discuss the key questions arising when designing hydrogel particles dedicated to biosensing. How can the hydrogel material be engineered in order to tune its properties and immobilize bioprobes inside? What are the strategies to fabricate and encode gel particles, and how can particles be processed and decoded after the assay? Finally, we review the bioassays reported so far in the literature that have used hydrogel particle arrays and give an outlook of further developments of the field.

Abstract
The development of an effective and general delivery method that can be applied to a large variety of structurally diverse biomolecules remains a bottleneck in modern drug therapy. Herein, we present a supramolecular system for the dynamic trapping and light-stimulated release of both DNA and proteins. Self-assembled ternary complexes act as nanoscale carriers, comprising vesicles of amphiphilic cyclodextrin, the target biomolecules and linker molecules with an azobenzene unit and a charged functionality. The non-covalent linker binds to the cyclodextrin by host-guest complexation with the azobenzene. Proteins or DNA are then bound to the functionalized vesicles through multivalent electrostatic attraction. The photoresponse of the host-guest complex allows a light-induced switch from the multivalent state that can bind the biomolecules to the low-affinity state of the free linker, thereby providing external control over the cargo release. The major advantage of this delivery approach is the wide variety of targets that can be addressed by multivalent electrostatic interaction, which we demonstrate on four types of DNA and six different proteins.

Abstract
We demonstrate significantly enhanced protein conjugation and target protein capture capacity by exploiting tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) templates assembled with hydrogel microparticles. Protein conjugation results with a red fluorescent protein R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) show significantly enhanced protein conjugation capacity of TMV-assembled particles (TMV-particles) compared to planar substrates or hydrogel microparticles. In-depth examination of protein conjugation kinetics via tetrazine (Tz)-trans-cyclooctene (TCO) cycloaddition and strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction demonstrates that TMV-particles provide a less hindered environment for protein conjugation. Target protein capture results using an anti-R-PE antibody (R-Ab)-R-PE pair also show substantially improved capture capacity of R-Ab conjugated TMV-particles over R-Ab conjugated hydrogel microparticles. We further demonstrate readily controlled protein and antibody conjugation capacity by simply varying TMV concentrations, which show negligible negative impact of densely assembled TMVs on protein conjugation and capture capacity. Combined, these results illustrate a facile postfabrication protein conjugation approach with TMV templates assembled onto hydrogel microparticles for improved and controlled protein conjugation and sensing platforms. We anticipate that our approach can be readily applied to various protein sensing applications.
