Abstract
Although minimally invasive interventional occluders can effectively seal heart defect tissue, they still have some limitations, including poor endothelial healing, intense inflammatory response, and thrombosis formation. Herein, a polyphenol-reinforced medicine/peptide glycocalyx-like coating was prepared on cardiac occluders. A coating consisting of carboxylated chitosan, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), tanshinone IIA sulfonic sodium (TSS), and hyaluronic acid grafted with 3-aminophenylboronic acid was prepared. Subsequently, the mercaptopropionic acid-GGGGG-Arg-Glu-Asp-Val peptide was grafted by the thiol-ene "click" reaction. The coating showed good hydrophilicity and free radical-scavenging ability and could release EGCG-TSS. The results of biological experiments suggested that the coating could reduce thrombosis by promoting endothelialization, and promote myocardial repair by regulating the inflammatory response. The functions of regulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis and metabolism were confirmed, and the inflammatory regulatory functions of the coating were mainly dependent on the NF-kappa B and TNF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polymers possess equal total positive and negative charges in the repeating units, making them electrically neutral overall. This unique property results in superhydrophilicity, which makes the zwitterionic polymers highly effective in resisting protein adsorption, thus endowing the drug carriers with long blood circulation time, inhibiting thrombus formation on biomedical devices in contact with blood, and ensuring the good sensitivity of sensors in biomedical application. Moreover, zwitterionic polymers have tumor-targeting ability and pH-responsiveness, rendering them ideal candidates for antitumor drug delivery. Additionally, the high ionic conductivity of zwitterionic polymers makes them an important raw material for ionic skin. Zwitterionic polymers exhibit remarkable resistance to bacterial adsorption and growth, proving their suitability in a wide range of biomedical applications such as ophthalmic applications, and wound dressings. In this paper, we provide an in-depth analysis of the different structures and characteristics of zwitterionic polymers and highlight their unique qualities and suitability for biomedical applications. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of zwitterionic polymers and present an optimistic perspective for zwitterionic polymers in the biomedical fields. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Zwitterionic polymers have a series of excellent properties such as super hydrophilicity, anti-protein adsorption, antibacterial ability and good ionic conductivity. However, biomedical applications of multifunctional zwitterionic polymers are still a major field to be explored. This review focuses on the design and application of zwitterionic polymers-based nanosystems for targeted and responsive delivery of antitumor drugs and cancer diagnostic agents. Moreover, the use of zwitterionic polymers in various biomedical applications such as biomedical devices in contact with blood, biosensors, ionic skin, ophthalmic applications and wound dressings is comprehensively described. We discuss current results and future challenges for a better understanding of multifunctional zwitterionic polymers for biomedical applications.

[PMID: 38744077 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2024.113939] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Chronic infections caused by the pathogenic biofilms on implantable medical devices pose an increasing challenge. To combat long-term biofilm-associated infections, we developed a novel dual-functional polymer coating with antibacterial and antifouling properties. The coating consists of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and 3-(acrylamido)phenylboronic acid (APBA) copolymer brushes, which bind to curcumin (Cur) as antibacterial molecules through acid-responsive boronate ester bonds. In this surface design, the hydrophilic poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) component improved antifouling performance and effectively prevented bacterial adhesion and aggregation during the initial phases. The poly (3-(acrylamido) phenylboronic acid) (PAPBA, abbreviated PB) component provided binding sites for Cur by forming acid-responsive boronate ester bonds. When fewer bacteria overcame the anti-adhesion barrier and colonized, the surface responded to the decreased microenvironmental pH by breaking the boronate ester bonds and releasing curcumin. This responsive mechanism enabled Cur to interfere with biofilm formation and provide a multilayer anti-biofilm protection system. The coating showed excellent antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, preventing biofilm formation for up to 7 days. The coating also inhibited protein adsorption and platelet adhesion significantly. This coating also exhibited high biocompatibility with animal erythrocytes and pre-osteoblasts. This research offers a promising approach for developing novel smart anti-biofilm coating materials.

Abstract
The oxygenation membrane, a core material of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is facing challenges in balancing anti-plasma leakage, gas exchange efficiency, and hemocompatibility. Here, inspired by the asymmetric structural features of alveolus pulmonalis, a novel triple-functional membrane for blood oxygenation with a Janus architecture is proposed, which is composed of a hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer to prevent plasma leakage, an ultrathin polyamide layer to enhance gas exchange efficiency with a CO2 :O2 permeance ratio of ≈10.7, and a hydrophilic polyzwitterionic layer to improve the hemocompatibility. During the simulated ECMO process, the Janus oxygenation membrane exhibits excellent performance in terms of thrombus formation and plasma leakage prevention, as well as adequate O2 transfer rate (17.8 mL min-1 m-2 ) and CO2 transfer rate (70.1 mL min-1 m-2 ), in comparison to the reported oxygenation membranes. This work presents novel concepts for the advancement of oxygenation membranes and demonstrates the application potential of the asymmetric triple-functional Janus oxygenation membrane in ECMO.

Abstract
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation. The strong hydration effect constitutes the foundation of a series of exceptional properties of zwitterionic materials, including resistance to protein adsorption, lubrication at interfaces, promotion of protein stabilities, antifreezing in solutions, etc. As a result, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in biomedical and engineering applications in recent years. In this review, we give a comprehensive and panoramic overview of zwitterionic materials, covering the fundamentals of hydration and nonfouling behaviors, different types of zwitterionic surfaces and polymers, and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of a biodegradable vascular scaffold (BVS) for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) still requires some improvement. Among them, re-endothelialization and anti-inflammation are clinically important to restore vascular function. In this study, we proposed a coating system to deliver hydrophilic bioactive agents to BVS using nanoemulsion and drop-casting methods. The poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold containing magnesium hydroxide (MH) was coated on the surface with bioactive molecules such as polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), L-arginine (Arg, R), and mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). PDRN upregulates the expression of VEGF as one of the A2A receptor agonists; and Arg, synthesized into nitric oxide by intracellular eNOS, induces endothelialization. In particular, EVs, which are composed of a lipid bilayer and transfer bioactive materials such as protein and nucleic acid, regulate homeostasis in blood vessels. Such a bioactive agent coating system and its PLLA composite suggest a new platform for the treatment of cardiovascular dysfunction.

Abstract
A strategy to recruit monocytes (MCs) from blood to regenerate vascular tissue from unseeded (cell-free) tissue engineered vascular grafts is presented. When immobilized on the surface of vascular grafts, the fusion protein, H2R5 can capture blood-derived MC under static or flow conditions in a shear stress dependent manner. The bound MC turns into macrophages (Mϕ) expressing both M1 and M2 phenotype specific genes. When H2R5 functionalized acellular-tissue engineered vessels (A-TEVs) are implanted into the mouse aorta, they remain patent and form a continuous endothelium expressing both endothelial cell (EC) and MC specific proteins. Underneath the EC layer, multiple cells layers are formed coexpressing both smooth muscle cell (SMC) and MC specific markers. Lineage tracing analysis using a novel CX3CR1-confetti mouse model demonstrates that fluorescently labeled MC populates the graft lumen by two and four weeks postimplantation, providing direct evidence in support of MC/Mϕ recruitment to the graft lumen. Given their abundance in the blood, circulating MCs may be a great source of cells that contribute directly to the endothelialization and vascular wall formation of acellular vascular grafts under the right chemical and biomechanical cues.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more metal or non-metal materials have been used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, but the vascular complications after transplantation are still the main factors restricting the clinical application of most grafts, such as acute thrombosis and graft restenosis. Implant materials have been extensively designed and surface optimized by researchers, but it is still too difficult to avoid complications. Natural vascular endodermis has excellent function, anti-coagulant and anti-intimal hyperplasia, and it is also the key to maintaining the homeostasis of normal vascular microenvironment. Therefore, how to promote the adhesion of endothelial cells (ECs) on the surface of cardiovascular materials to achieve endothelialization of the surface is the key to overcoming the complications after implant materialization. At present, the surface endothelialization design of materials based on materials surface science, bioactive molecules, and biological function intervention and feedback has attracted much attention. In this review, we summarize the related research on the surface modification of materials by endothelialization in recent years, and analyze the advantages and challenges of current endothelialization design ideas, explain the relationship between materials, cells, and vascular remodeling in order to find a more ideal endothelialization surface modification strategy for future researchers to meet the requirements of clinical biocompatibility of cardiovascular materials.

Abstract
Multifunctional coatings have gained significant attention for their promising potential to address the issue of medical device-related infections. However, they usually have multiple components in one layer which decreases the density of functional groups on surfaces and hence reduces the biological properties. Herein, we report a mono-component and sulfonate-based anionic polypeptide coating with on-demand antibacterial activity, antifouling property, and biocompatibility. The anionic polypeptide was prepared by ring-opening polymerization of L-cysteine-based N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) with allyl groups and a subsequent thiol-ene reaction to incorporate the sulfonate pendants. It adopted a 17.1-19.5% β-sheet conformation and self-assembled into a spherical nanoparticle. The polypeptide coating showed excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (i.e., S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., E. coli) with >99% killing efficacy after acidic solution treatment and prominent antifouling property and biocompatibility after weak base treatment. An in vivo study revealed that the sulfonate-based polypeptide-coated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) exhibited good anti-infection property and histocompatibility.

Abstract
Surface modification on the inner wall of medical or industrial polymeric catheters with a high length/diameter ratio is highly desired. Herein, a universal and facile method based on an amphiphilic copolymer was developed to immobilize an intraductal surface antifouling coating for a variety of polymeric catheters. A fouling-repelled thin layer was formed by swelling-driven adsorption via directly perfusing an amphiphilic copolymer [polyvinylpyrrolidone-polydimethylsiloxane-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-PDMS-PVP)] solution into catheters. In this copolymer, hydrophobic PDMS was embedded into a shrinking cross-linked network of catheters; also, PVP segments migrated to the surface under driving water to form a hydrophilic antifouling coating. Moreover, because of the coordination between I2 and pyrrolidone of PVP, the copolymer-modified intraductal surface was then infused with aqueous I2 to form the PVP-I2 complex, endowing this coating with bactericidal activity. Notably, diverse catheters with arbitrary shapes (circular, rectangular, triangular, and hexagonal) and different components (silicone, polyurethane, and polyethylene) were also verified to work using this interfacial interpenetration strategy. The findings in this work provide a new avenue toward facile and universal fabrication of intraductal surface antifouling catheters, creating a superior option for decreasing the consumable costs in industrial production and alleviating the pain of replacing catheters for patients.
