Abstract
Cell-substrate interaction plays a critical role in determining the mechanical status of living cell membrane. Changes of substrate surface properties can significantly alter the cell mechanical microenvironment, leading to mechanical changes of cell membrane. However, it is still difficult to accurately quantify the influence of the substrate surface properties on the mechanical status of living cell membrane without damage. This study addresses the challenge by using an electrochemical sensor made from an ultrasmall quartz nanopipette. With the tip diameter less than 100 nm, the nanopipette-based sensor achieves highly sensitive, noninvasive and label-free monitoring of the mechanical status of single living cells by collecting stable cyclic membrane oscillatory signals from continuous current versus time traces. The electrochemical signals collected from PC12 cells cultured on three different substrates (bare ITO (indium tin oxides) glass, hydroxyl modified ITO glass, amino modified ITO glass) indicate that the microenvironment more favorable for cell adhesion can increase the membrane stiffness. This work provides a label-free electrochemical approach to accurately quantify the mechanical status of single living cells in real-time, which may help to better understand the relationship between the cell membrane and the extra cellular matrix.

Abstract
The concept of polyrotaxane comes from the rotaxane structure in the supramolecular field. It is a mechanically interlocked supramolecular assembly composed of linear polymer chains and cyclic molecules. Over recent decades, the synthesis and application of polyrotaxanes have seen remarkable growth. Particularly, cyclodextrin-based polyrotaxanes have been extensively reported due to the low-price raw materials, good biocompatibility, and ease of modification. Hence, it is also one of the most promising mechanically interlocking supramolecules for wide industrialization in the future. Polyrotaxanes are widely introduced into materials such as elastomers, hydrogels, and engineering polymers to improve their mechanical properties or impart functionality to the materials. In these materials, polyrotaxane acts as a slidable cross-linker to dissipate energy through sliding or assist in dispersing stress concentration in the cross-linked network, thereby enhancing the toughness of the materials. Further, the unique sliding-ring effect of cyclodextrin-based polyrotaxanes has pioneered advancements in stretchable electronics and energy storage materials. This includes their innovative use in stretchable conductive composite and binders for anodes, addressing critical challenges in these fields. In this mini-review, our focus is to highlight the current progress and potential wider applications in the future, underlining their transformative impact across various domains of material science.

Abstract
Cancer cells recognize physical cues transmitted from the surrounding microenvironment, and accordingly alter the migration and chemosensitivity. Cell adhesive biomaterials with tunable physical properties can contribute to the understanding of cancer cell responses, and development of new cancer therapies. Previously, it was reported that polyrotaxane-based surfaces with molecular mobility effectively modulate cellular functions via the yes-associated protein (YAP)-related signaling pathway. In the present study, the impact of molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces on the migration and chemosensitivity of lung (A549), pancreatic (BxPC-3), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines is investigated, and it is found that the cellular spreading of adherent A549 and BxPC-3 cells and nuclear YAP translocation are promoted on low-mobility surfaces, suggesting that cancer cells alter their subcellular YAP localization in response to molecular mobility. Furthermore, low-mobility surfaces suppress cellular migration more than high-mobility surfaces. Additionally, low-mobility surfaces promote the cisplatin chemosensitivity of each cancer cell line to a greater extent than high-mobility surfaces. These results suggest that the molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces suppresses cellular migration and enhances chemosensitivity via the subcellular translocation of YAP in cancer cells. Biointerfaces based on polyrotaxanes can thus be a new platform for elucidating cancer cell migration and chemoresistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Surface properties of biomaterials affect the morphologies and inflammatory responses of macrophages. Recently, biomaterial design utilizing these properties has been explored to build a scaffold for balancing the immune system in vivo. In the present study, polyrotaxane surfaces with different functional groups including methyl, amino, and sulfo groups are utilized to clarify the effect of molecular mobility and zeta potential of these surfaces on RAW264.7 macrophage responses. At 24 h post-seeding, the majority of the cells adhere onto each surface, and the initial spreading is suppressed by more negatively-charged polyrotaxane surfaces. From 24 to 48 h of incubation, the spreading areas on the unmodified and methylated surfaces significantly increase, whereas those on the aminated and sulfonated surfaces remain unchanged. These results suggest that the initially cellular spreading process depends on the zeta potential, while the subsequent spreading process is governed by the molecular mobility. After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, the less mobile surfaces induce higher expression of inflammation-related genes than highly mobile surfaces, suggesting that molecular mobility is the main factor modulating the inflammatory activity in macrophages. These findings indicate that the zeta potential and molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces may play independent roles in the sequence of macrophage responses.

Abstract
Polyrotaxanes (PRXs) containing acetylated α-cyclodextrins exhibit a temperature-dependent phase transition in aqueous solutions across their lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of approximately 26.6 °C. To gain insights into the interactions of acetylated PRXs (Ac-PRXs) with biological components, thermoresponsive supramolecular surfaces were prepared by coating tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) surfaces with Ac-PRX triblock copolymers, and their surface properties across the LCST were evaluated. The wettability and protein adsorption of Ac-PRX-coated surfaces changed significantly between 10 and 37 °C, whereas the uncoated TCPS and unmodified PRX-coated surfaces did not alter the wettability and protein adsorption at 10 and 37 °C. The adhesion, proliferation, morphology, and adhesion strength of NIH/3T3 cells on Ac-PRX-coated surfaces were found to be similar to those of the uncoated and unmodified PRX-coated surfaces. However, the adhesion strength of NIH/3T3 cells on Ac-PRX-coated surfaces decreased drastically at 10 °C. Consequently, the cells spontaneously detached from the Ac-PRX-coated surfaces without enzymatic treatment. Additionally, when incubating confluent cells at 10 °C, the cells detached from Ac-PRX-coated surfaces as cell sheets while retaining extracellular matrix proteins. The findings of this study provide new directions for the design of thermoresponsive supramolecular biointerfaces for applications in bioseparation and cell manipulation.

Abstract
Cells can sense the surrounding microenvironmental properties including contact with biomaterials. Although in vitro cell fates in response to the physical properties of cell-adhesive materials have been widely reported, their influence on cell-cell adhesion is unclear. Here, we investigated the role of molecular mobility on polyrotaxane surfaces in epithelial cell-cell adhesion. Polyrotaxane surfaces with high mobility induced cytoplasmic yes-associated protein (YAP) localization in epithelial cells, whereas those with low mobility induced nuclear YAP localization, suggesting that YAP localization is switched by the mobility of the polyrotaxane surface. The cytoplasmic YAP localization increased the expression of tight junction-associated genes. A scratch assay revealed that although the epithelial cells on the low mobile surface rapidly initiated their migration, the cells on the highly mobile surface delayed their migration. Thus, this finding suggests that polyrotaxane surfaces with higher mobility induce cytoplasmic YAP localization, leading to stronger cell-cell adhesion. The polyrotaxane biointerface is promising as a powerful tool to improve the physical immune system and repair biological tissues.

Abstract
Hydrogels are promising materials in tissue engineering scaffolds for healing and regenerating damaged biological tissues. Previously, we developed supramolecular hydrogels using polyrotaxane (PRX), consisting of multiple cyclic molecules threaded by an axis polymer for modulating cellular responses. However, since hydrogels generally have a large amount of water, their adhesion to tissues is extremely weak. Herein, we designed a bilayered hydrogel with a PRX layer and a collagen layer (PRX/collagen hydrogel) to achieve rapid and strong adhesion to the target tissue. The PRX/collagen hydrogel was fabricated by polymerizing PRX crosslinkers in water with placement of a collagen sponge. The differences in components between the PRX and collagen layers were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). After confirming that the fibroblasts adhered to both layers of the PRX/collagen hydrogels, the hydrogels were implanted subcutaneously in mice. The PRX hydrogel without collagen moved out of its placement site 24 h after implantation, whereas the bilayer hydrogel was perfectly adherent at the site. Together, these findings indicate that the bilayer structure generated using PRX and collagen may be a rational design for performing anisotropic adhesion.

Abstract
Yes-associated protein (YAP), a transcriptional coactivator of the Hippo signaling pathway, has been widely implicated in vascular aging and diseases. For preventing vascular endothelial cell senescence, the design and development of biomaterials to regulate YAP activity are required. This study prepares polyrotaxane-coated surfaces with molecular mobility and clarifies the role of the mobility on vascular endothelial cell senescence through Hippo-YAP signaling. The polyrotaxane surface with high mobility induces cytoplasmic YAP localization in endothelial cells, whereas the surface with low mobility induces nuclear YAP localization. After serial cultivation of endothelial cells using polyrotaxane surfaces with different mobilities for 35 d, the endothelial cells aged on the polyrotaxane surface with high mobility exhibit higher proliferative potential, smaller spreading size, and lower activity of senescence-associated β-galactosidase than those aged on the surface with low mobility. These findings suggest that cellular senescence can be delayed by modulating the molecular mobility on polyrotaxane surfaces.

Abstract
Ring-sliding behavior in polyrotaxanes imbues gels, elastomers, and glasses with remarkable stress-dissipation and actuation properties. Since these properties can be modulated and tuned by structural parameters, many efforts have been devoted to developing synthetic protocols that define the structures and properties of slide-ring materials. We introduce post-synthetic modifications of slide-ring gels derived from unmodified α-cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol) polyrotaxanes that enable (i) actuation and control of the thermo-responsive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of ring-modified slide-ring hydrogels, and (ii) chemically bonding separate gels into hybrid or shape-reconfigured macro-structures with a slide-ring adhesive solution. The mechanical properties of the post-modified gels have been characterized by shear rheology and uniaxial tensile tests, while the corresponding xerogels were characterized by wide-angle X-ray scattering. These demonstrations show that post-synthetic modification offers a practical solution for re-configuring the properties and shapes of slide-ring gels.

Abstract
Stem cell-based bone tissue engineering is a promising strategy for the treatment of bone defects. Since regeneration of bone tissue takes a long time, promoting osteogenesis of stem cells is desired for earlier recovery from dysfunctions caused by bone defects. Here, we combined endothelial cell co-culture using the molecularly mobile sulfonated polyrotaxane (PRX) surfaces to enhance the mineralization of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). Sulfonated PRXs are composed of sulfopropyl ether-modified α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs) threaded on a polyethylene glycol chain. The molecular mobility of PRX, α-CDs moving along the polymer, can be modulated by the number of α-CDs. When osteoblastic differentiation was induced in HBMSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), co-culture groups on sulfonated PRX surfaces with low molecular mobility showed the highest mineralization, which is about two times as high as co-culture groups on sulfonated PRX surfaces with high molecular mobility. Nuclear accumulation of yes-associated proteins in HBMSCs and cell–cell communication via cytokines or cadherin may play an important role in synergistically induced mineralization of HBMSCs. Molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces promoted mineralization in a co-culture system of mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells.![]()
