Perrino C, Lee S, Spencer ND. Quantitative Comparison of the Hydration Capacity of Surface-Bound Dextran and Polyethylene Glycol. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40:14130-14140. [PMID: 38922294 PMCID: PMC11238585 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c01582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
We have quantified and compared the hydration capacity (i.e., capability to incorporate water molecules) of the two surface-bound hydrophilic polymer chains, dextran (dex) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), in the form of poly(l-lysine)-graft-dextran (PLL-g-dex) and poly(l-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG), respectively. The copolymers were attached to a negatively charged silica-titania surface through the electrostatic interaction between the PLL backbone and the surface in neutral aqueous media. While the molecular weights of PLL and PEG were fixed, that of dex and the grafting density of PEG or dex on the PLL were varied. The hydration capacity of the polymer chains was quantified through the combined experimental approach of optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) to yield a value for areal solvation (Ψ), i.e., mass of associated solvent molecules within the polymer chains per unit substrate area. For the two series of copolymers with comparable stretched chain lengths of hydrophilic polymers, namely, PLL(20)-g-PEG(5) and PLL(20)-g-dex(10), the Ψ values gradually increased as the initial grafting density on the PLL backbone increased or as g decreased. However, the rate of increase in Ψ was higher for PEG than dextran chains, which was attributed to higher stiffness of the dextran chains. More importantly, the number of water molecules per hydrophilic group was clearly higher for PEG chains. Given that the -CH2CH2O- units that make up the PEG chains form a cage-like structure with 2-3 water molecules, these "strongly bound" water molecules can account for the slightly more favorable behavior of PEG compared to dextran in both aqueous lubrication and antifouling behavior of the copolymers.

Abstract
The relationship between molecular structure and water dynamics is a fundamental yet often neglected subject in the field of hydrogels for drug delivery, bioprinting, as well as biomaterial science and tissue engineering & regenerative medicine (TE&RM). Water is a fundamental constituent of hydrogel systems and engages via hydrogen bonding with the macromolecular network. The methods and techniques to measure and reveal the phenomena and dynamics of water within hydrogels are still limited. In this work, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used as a quantitative method to analyze freezable (including free and freezable bound) and non-freezable bound water within gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a complementary method for the study of water behavior and can be used to measure the spin-relaxation of water hydrogen nuclei, which is related to water dynamics. In this research, nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry was employed to investigate the molecular state of water in GelMA hydrogels using spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) spin-relaxation time constants. The data displays a trend of increasing bound water content with increasing GelMA concentration. In addition, T2 values were further applied to calculate microviscosity and translational diffusion coefficients. Water relaxation under various chemical environments, including different media, temperatures, gelatin sources, as well as crosslinking effects, were also examined. These comprehensive physical data sets offer fundamental insight into biomolecule transport within the GelMA hydrogel system, which ultimately are important for drug delivery, bioprinting, as well as biomaterial science and TE&RM communities.

Abstract
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, but current therapeutic interventions are palliative or surgical in nature. Loss of notochordal cells (NCs) and degradation of the healthy matrix in the nucleus pulposus (NP), the central tissue of intervertebral discs (IVDs), has been associated with onset of degenerative disc changes. Recently, we established a protocol for decellularization of notochordal cell derived matrix (NCM) and found that it can provide regenerative cues to nucleus pulposus cells of the IVD. Here, we combined the biologically regenerative properties of decellularized NCM with the mechanical tunability of a poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel to additionally address biomechanics in the degenerate IVD. We further introduced a hydrolysable PEG-diurethane crosslinker for slow degradation of the gels in vivo. The resulting hydrogels were tunable over a broad range of stiffness's (0.2 to 4.5 kPa), matching that of NC-rich and -poor NP tissues, respectively. Gels formed within 30 min, giving ample time for handling, and remained shear-thinning post-polymerization. Gels also slowly released dNCM over 28 days as measured by GAG effusion. Viability of encapsulated bone marrow stromal cells after extrusion through a needle remained high. Although encapsulated NCs stayed viable over two weeks, their metabolic activity decreased, and their phenotype was lost in physiological medium conditions in vitro. Overall, the obtained gels hold promise for application in degenerated IVDs but require further tuning for combined use with NCs.

Abstract
Most oral diseases originate from biofilms whose formation is originated from the adhesion of salivary proteins and pioneer bacteria. Therefore, antimicrobial materials are mainly based on bactericidal methods, most of which have drug resistance and toxicity. Natural antifouling surfaces inspire new antibacterial strategies. The super wettable surfaces of lotus leaves and fish scales prompt design of biomimetic oral materials covered or mixed with super wettable materials to prevent adhesion. Bioinspired slippery surfaces come from pitcher plants, whose porous surfaces are infiltrated with lubricating liquid to form superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce the contact with liquids. It is believed that these new methods could provide promising directions for oral antimicrobial practice, improving antimicrobial efficacy.

Abstract
A versatile hydrophilic and antifouling coating was designed and prepared based on catechol-modified four-arm polyethylene glycol. The dopamine (DA) molecules were grafted onto the end of the four-arm polyethylene glycol carboxyl (4A-PEG-COOH) through the amidation reaction, which was proven by 1H NMR and FTIR analysis, assisting the strong adhesion of PEG on the surface of various types of materials, including metallic, inorganic, and polymeric materials. The reduction of the water contact angle and the bacteria-repellent and protein-repellent effects indicated that the coating had good hydrophilicity and antifouling performance. Raman spectroscopy analysis demonstrated the affinity between the polymeric surface and water, which further confirmed the hydrophilicity of the coating. Finally, in vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated good biocompatibility of the coating layer.

Abstract
The equilibrium constant (K) of biochemical complex formation in aqueous buffers with high concentration (>20 wt %) of nonionic compounds can vary by orders of magnitude in comparison with the K in a pure buffer. The precise molecular mechanisms of these profound changes are not known. Herein, we show up to a 1000-fold decrease of the K value of DNA hybridization (at nM concentration) in standard molecular crowder systems such as PEG, dextrans, Ficoll, and glycerol. The effect responsible for the decrease of K is the complexation of positively charged ions from a buffer by nonionic polymers/small molecules. We determined the average equilibrium constant for the complexation of ions per monomer (∼0.49 M-1). We retrieve K's original value for a pure buffer if we properly increase the ionic strength of the buffer crowded by the polymers, compensating for the loss of complexed ions.

Abstract
It is well known that poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) has good blood compatibility and its performance is attributed to its water structure. Recently, we applied solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (solution-NMR) for analyzing the water structure in PMEA at ambient temperature and concluded that this method is useful because of the clear observation of the resonance peaks at low and high magnetic field (downfield and upfield, respectively) areas indicating the existence of more than two types of water. The present study was performed to compare the water structure of poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate) (PTHFA) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) using solution 2H-NMR and deuterium oxide as water at the temperature range 15-45 °C. It was found that PTHFA has a different water structure from that of PHEMA. Water in PTHFA clearly showed two resonance peaks at downfield and upfield areas, with different spin-lattice relaxation times, T12H (high and low values, respectively). These observations are similar to those of PMEA. In contrast, PHEMA showed only one broad resonance peak (at downfield) with a low T12H value. Based on these observations, this study discusses the effect of water structures on the blood compatibility of these polymers.

Abstract
Despite advanced implant sterilization and aseptic surgical techniques, periprosthetic bacterial infection remains a major challenge for orthopedic and dental implants. Bacterial colonization/biofilm formation around implants and their invasion into the dense skeletal tissue matrices are difficult to treat and could lead to implant failure and osteomyelitis. These complications require major revision surgeries and extended antibiotic therapies that are associated with high treatment cost, morbidity, and even mortality. Effective preventative measures mitigating risks for implant-related infections are thus in dire need. This review focuses on recent developments of anti-periprosthetic infection strategies aimed at either reducing bacterial adhesion, colonization, and biofilm formation or killing bacteria directly in contact with and/or in the vicinity of implants. These goals are accomplished through antifouling, quorum-sensing interfering, or bactericidal implant surface topographical engineering or surface coatings through chemical modifications. Surface topographical engineering of lotus leaf mimicking super-hydrophobic antifouling features and cicada wing-mimicking, bacterium-piercing nanopillars are both presented. Conventional physical coating/passive release of bactericidal agents is contrasted with their covalent tethering to implant surfaces through either stable linkages or linkages labile to bacterial enzyme cleavage or environmental perturbations. Pros and cons of these emerging anti-periprosthetic infection approaches are discussed in terms of their safety, efficacy, and translational potentials.

Abstract
The interaction of water within synthetic and natural hydrogel systems is of fundamental importance in biomaterial science. A systematic study is presented on the swelling behavior and states of water for a polyethylene glycol-diacrylate (PEGDA)-based model neutral hydrogel system that goes beyond previous studies reported in the literature. Hydrogels with different network structures are crosslinked and swollen in different combinations of water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Network variables, polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weight (MW), and weight fraction are positively correlated with swelling ratio, while "non-freezable bound water" content decreases with PEG MW. The presence of ions has the greatest influence on equilibrium water and "freezable" and "non-freezable" water, with all hydrogel formulations showing a decreased swelling ratio and increased bound water as ionic strength increases. Similarly, the number of "non-freezable bound water" molecules, calculated from DSC data, is greatest-up to six molecules per PEG repeat unit-for gels swollen in PBS. Fundamentally, the balance of osmotic pressure and non-covalent bonding is a major factor within the molecular structure of the hydrogel system. The proposed model explains the dynamic interaction of water within hydrogels in an osmotic environment. This study will point toward a better understanding of the molecular nature of the water interface in hydrogels.

Abstract
Colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique physicochemical properties suitable for diagnosing and treating different human diseases. Nevertheless, the successful implementation of NPs in medicine demands a proper understanding of their interactions with the different proteins found in biological fluids. Once introduced into the body, NPs are covered by a protein corona (PC) that determines the biological behavior of the NPs. The formation of the PC can eventually favor the rapid clearance of the NPs from the body before fulfilling the desired objective or lead to increased cytotoxicity. The PC nature varies as a function of the different repulsive and attractive forces that govern the NP-protein interaction and their colloidal stability. This review focuses on the phenomenon of PC formation on NPs from a physicochemical perspective, aiming to provide a general overview of this critical process. Main issues related to NP toxicity and clearance from the body as a result of protein adsorption are covered, including the most promising strategies to control PC formation and, thereby, ensure the successful application of NPs in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Nanocomposite hydrogels have emerged to exhibit multipurpose properties, boosting especially the biomaterial field. However, the development and characterization of these materials can be a challenge, especially stimuli-sensitive materials with dynamic properties in response to external stimuli. By employing UV-vis spectroscopy and NMR relaxation techniques, we could outline the formation and behavior of thermosensitive nanocomposites obtained by in situ polymerization of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) and mesoporous silica nanofibers under temperature stimuli. For instance, inorganic nanoparticles covalently linked to PNVCL changed the pattern of temperature-induced phase transition despite showing similar critical temperatures to neat PNVCL. Thermodynamic parameters indicated the formation of an interconnected system of silica and polymer chains with reduced enthalpic contribution and mobility. The investigation of water molecule and polymer segment motions also revealed that the absorption and release of water happened in a wider temperature range for the nanocomposites, and the polymer segments respond in different ways during the phase transition in the presence of silica. This set of techniques was essential to reveal the polymer motions and structural features in nanocomposite hydrogels under temperature stimuli, demonstrating its potential use as experimental guideline to study multicomponent nanocomposites with diverse functionalities and dynamic properties.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nonionic surfactants have been widely used for many consumer products and industrial processes, and their applications often involve temperature-cycling across cloud point temperature (Tcloud). To explore the behavior of nonionic surfactants across Tcloud and when mixed with colloidal silica at a very dilute concentration around 0.1 wt%, a series of 1,2-epoxybutane-capped alcohol ethoxylates (BAEs) with various cloud points is used as a model system. EXPERIMENTS BAEs with cloud points from 15 to 64 °C were successfully prepared by varying the lengths of 1,2-epoxybutane (BO) and ethylene oxide (EO) blocks and their phase behavior across Tcloud was studied using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FINDINGS In the absence of silica, the NMR signals are not greatly affected by the cloud point transition, but both the water and surfactant exhibit a decrease in spin-spin relaxation time once the temperature reaches the Tcloud. In the presence of silica, the NMR spectra indicate significantly reduced mobility of the EO portion relative to the alkyl and BO segments. Furthermore, our results suggest that the BAE surfactants are not fractionally clouding out or precipitating with a portion of the compositional distribution during the cloud point transition.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the behaviour of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) combined with imaging or therapeutic agents can be a key factor for the rational design of drug delivery and diagnostic systems. In this work, physical and thermodynamic phenomena arising from the complex interplay between GAGs and contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have been explored. Being an excellent candidate for drug delivery and diagnostic systems, Hyaluronic acid (HA) (0.1 to 0.7%w/v) has been chosen as a GAG model, and Gd-DTPA (0.01 to 0.2 mM) as a relevant MRI contrast agent. HA samples crosslinked with divinyl sulfone (DVS) have also been investigated. Water Diffusion and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry studies demonstrated that the interaction between HA and Gd-DTPA can form hydrogen bonds and coordinate water molecules, which plays a leading role in determining both the polymer conformation and the relaxometric properties of the contrast agent. This interaction can be modulated by changing the GAG/contrast agent molar ratio and by acting on the organization of the polymer network. The fine control over the combination of GAGs and imaging agents could represent an enormous advantage in formulating novel multifunctional diagnostic probes paving the way for precision nanomedicine tools.

Two-in-one strategy: a remineralizing and anti-adhesive coating against demineralized enamel. Int J Oral Sci 2020; 12:27.

Abstract
Tooth enamel is prone to be attacked by injurious factors, leading to a de/remineralization imbalance. To repair demineralized enamel and prevent pulp inflammation caused by biofilm accumulation, measures are needed to promote remineralization and inhibit bacterial adhesion on the tooth surface. An innovative material, poly (aspartic acid)-polyethylene glycol (PASP-PEG), was designed and synthesized to construct a mineralizing and anti-adhesive surface that could be applied to repair demineralized enamel. A cytotoxicity assay revealed the low cytotoxicity of synthesized PASP-PEG. Adsorption results demonstrated that PASP-PEG possesses a high binding affinity to the hydroxyapatite (HA)/tooth surface. In vitro experiments and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated a strong capacity of PASP-PEG to induce in situ remineralization and direct the oriented growth of apatite nanocrystals. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Vickers hardness tests demonstrated that minerals induced by PASP-PEG were consistent with healthy enamel in Ca/P ratio, crystal form and surface micro-hardness. Contact angle tests and bacterial adhesion experiments demonstrated that PASP-PEG yielded a strong anti-adhesive effect. In summary, PASP-PEG could achieve dual effects for enamel repair and anti-adhesion of bacteria, thereby widening its application in enamel repair.

Abstract
![]()
One
of the most appealing features of supramolecular assemblies
is their ability to respond to external stimuli due to their noncovalent
nature. This provides the opportunity to gain control over their size,
morphology, and chemical properties and is key toward some of their
applications. However, the design of supramolecular systems able to
respond to multiple stimuli in a controlled fashion is still challenging.
Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel discotic
molecule, which self-assembles in water into a single-component supramolecular
polymer that responds to multiple independent stimuli. The building
block of such an assembly is a C3-symmetric
monomer, consisting of a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide core conjugated
to a series of natural and non-natural functional amino acids. This
design allows the use of rapid and efficient solid-phase synthesis
methods and the modular implementation of different functionalities.
The discotic monomer incorporates a hydrophobic azobenzene moiety,
an octaethylene glycol chain, and a C-terminal lysine. Each of these
blocks was chosen for two reasons: to drive the self-assembly in water
by a combination of H-bonding and hydrophobicity and to impart specific
responsiveness. With a combination of microscopy and spectroscopy
techniques, we demonstrate self-assembly in water and responsiveness
to temperature, light, pH, and ionic strength. This work shows the
potential to integrate independent mechanisms for controlling self-assembly
in a single-component supramolecular polymer by the rational monomer
design and paves the way toward the use of multiresponsive systems
in water.

Abstract
Swelling of sweet cherry cell walls is a physical process counterbalanced by turgor. Cell turgor prevents swelling in intact cells, whereas loss of turgor allows cell walls to swell. Swelling of epidermal cell walls precedes skin failure in sweet cherry (Prunus avium) cracking. Swollen cell walls lead to diminished cell:cell adhesions. We identify the mechanism of cell wall swelling. Swelling was quantified microscopically on epidermal sections following freeze/thaw treatment or by determining swelling pressure or swelling capacity of cell wall extracts. Releasing turgor by a freeze/thaw treatment increased cell wall thickness 1.6-fold within 2 h. Pressurizing cell wall extracts at > 12 kPa prevented swelling in water, while releasing the pressure increased swelling. The effect was fully reversible. Across cultivars, cell wall thickness before and after turgor release in two subsequent seasons was significantly correlated (before release of turgor: r = 0.71**, n = 14; after release of turgor: r = 0.73**, n = 14) as was the swelling of cell walls upon turgor release (r = 0.71**, n = 14). Close relationships were also identified for cell wall thickness of fruit of the same cultivars grown in the greenhouse and the field (before release of turgor: r = 0.60, n = 10; after release of turgor: r = 0.78**, n = 10). Release of turgor by heating, plasmolysis, incubation in solvents or surfactants resulted in similar swelling (range 2.0-3.1 µm). Cell wall swelling increased from 1.4 to 3.0 µm as pH increased from pH 2.0 to 5.0 but remained nearly constant between pH 5.0 and 8.0. Increasing ethanol concentration decreased swelling. Swelling of sweet cherry cell walls is a physical process counterbalanced by turgor.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) internalized within stem cells have paved the way for remote magnetic cell manipulation and imaging in regenerative medicine. A full understanding of their interactions with stem cells and of their fate in the intracellular environment is then required, in particular with respect to their surface coatings. Here, we investigated the biological interactions of MNPs composed of an identical magnetic core but coated with different molecules: phosphonoacetic acid, polyethylene glycol phosphonic carboxylic acid, caffeic acid, citric acid, and polyacrylic acid. These coatings vary in the nature of the chelating function, the number of binding sites, and the presence or absence of a polymer. The nanoparticle magnetism was systematically used as an indicator of their internalization within human stem cells and of their structural long-term biodegradation in a 3D stem cell spheroid model. Overall, we evidence that the coating impacts the aggregation status of the nanoparticles and subsequently their uptake within stem cells, but it has little effect on their intracellular degradation. Only a high number of chelating functions (polyacrylic acid) had a significant protective effect. Interestingly, when the nanoparticles aggregated prior to cellular internalization, less degradation was also observed. Finally, for all coatings, a robust dose-dependent intracellular degradation rate was demonstrated, with higher doses of internalized nanoparticles leading to a lower degradation extent.

Abstract
The conformational transition of a fluorinated amphiphilic dendrimer is monitored by the 1 H signal from water, alongside the 19 F signal from the dendrimer. High-field NMR data (chemical shift δ, self-diffusion coefficient D, longitudinal relaxation rate R1 , and transverse relaxation rate R2 ) for both dendrimer (19 F) and water (1 H) match each other in detecting the conformational transition. Among all parameters for both nuclei, the water proton transverse-relaxation rate R2 (1 H2 O) displays the highest relative scale of change upon conformational transition of the dendrimer. Hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry reveals that the compact form of the dendrimer has slower proton exchange with water than the extended form. This result suggests that the sensitivity of R2 (1 H2 O) toward dendrimer conformation originates, at least partially, from the difference in proton exchange efficiency between different dendrimer conformations. Finally, we also demonstrated that this conformational transition could be conveniently monitored using a low-field benchtop NMR spectrometer via R2 (1 H2 O). The 1 H2 O signal thus offers a simple way to monitor structural changes of macromolecules using benchtop time-domain NMR.

Abstract
(Bio)fouling processes arising from nonspecific adsorption of biological materials (mainly proteins but also cells and oligonucleotides), reaction products of neurotransmitters oxidation, and precipitation/polymerization of phenolic compounds, have detrimental effects on reliable electrochemical (bio)sensing of relevant analytes and markers either directly or after prolonged incubation in rich-proteins samples or at extreme pH values. Therefore, the design of antifouling (bio)sensing interfaces capable to minimize these undesired processes is a substantial outstanding challenge in electrochemical biosensing. For this purpose, efficient antifouling strategies involving the use of carbon materials, metallic nanoparticles, catalytic redox couples, nanoporous electrodes, electrochemical activation, and (bio)materials have been proposed so far. In this article, biomaterial-based strategies involving polymers, hydrogels, peptides, and thiolated self-assembled monolayers are reviewed and critically discussed. The reported strategies have been shown to be successful to overcome (bio)fouling in a diverse range of relevant practical applications. We highlight recent examples for the reliable sensing of particularly fouling analytes and direct/continuous operation in complex biofluids or harsh environments. Opportunities, unmet challenges, and future prospects in this field are also pointed out.
