Abstract
As the drawbacks of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections emerged, physical methods such as near-infrared-activated (NIR-activated) bacterial killing, have attracted great interests for their advantages of no resistance, short action time and few side effects. In this manuscript, NIR-activated bacteria-killing performance of chiral copper sulphide nanoparticles (L-/d-CuS NPs) was investigated using linearly polarized light (LPL) and circularly polarized light (CPL) as illumination sources, respectively. Chiral CuS NPs showed enhanced NIR-activated bacteria-killing effect compared with achiral CuS NPs under the same conditions. Moreover, these chiral CuS NPs showed obvious chirality-related antibacterial effect: the bacterial killing was more efficient under CPL activation, and L- and d-CuS NPs had higher antibacterial efficiency under left circularly polarized light (LCPL) and right circularly polarized light (RCPL), respectively. The possible mechanism of bacteria-killing performance for chiral CuS NPs was discussed in detailed. Photothermal bacteria-killing tests of chiral CuS NPs "sealed" in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) demonstrated the individual influence of photothermal effect. These observations in this paper could provide ideas for the potential applications of chiral nanostructures with enhanced photothermal effect in efficient bacterial killing.

ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:1713-1722.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are continuously being developed for many applications including imaging, biomedicine, and everyday products. It is difficult to avoid contact with NPs such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs, which are widely used in sunscreens. However, the safety of TiO2 NPs for skin contact and inhalation remains controversial. If NPs cannot penetrate the skin, they will be unable to circulate in the bloodstream, accumulate in the body, or cause side effects, ensuring their safety. Therefore, this study aimed to modify TiO2 NP surfaces to inhibit their uptake in skin cells. Inspired by protein corona studies, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen to functionalize TiO2 NP surfaces via physical adsorption. The maximum BSA adsorption occurred at pH 5.0. The physicochemical properties (size, ζ-potential, morphology, ultraviolet (UV) absorption efficiency, and sun protection factor (SPF)) of TiO2-BSA NPs were comparable to those of TiO2 NPs, indicating that these properties did not affect cellular uptake. In the safety evaluation, TiO2 NPs and TiO2-BSA NPs exhibited high biocompatibility with skin cells and no phototoxicity after UVA and UVB irradiation. In the efficacy evaluation, both NPs possessed the same photoprotection abilities, reducing membrane damage and DNA breakage after UVA irradiation. Compared with TiO2 NPs, TiO2-BSA NPs showed substantially reduced skin penetration in Franz diffusion cells (91%) and human immortalized keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells (89%). A qualitative cellular uptake study using transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed that TiO2 NPs were more abundant than TiO2-BSA NPs inside the HaCaT cells. These findings indicate that TiO2 surface functionalization with BSA inhibits cellular uptake in skin cells while maintaining safety and UV protection efficacy, which might be extended to other NP-based sunscreens.

Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), even though widely used in microfluidic applications, its hydrophobic nature restricts its utility in some cases. To address this, PDMS may be used in conjunction with a hydrophilic material. Herein, the PDMS surface is modified by plasma treatment followed by cross-linking with the cataractous eye protein isolate (CEPI). CEPI-PDMS composites are prepared at three pH and the effects of CEPI on the chemical, physical, and electrical properties of PDMS are extensively investigated. The cross-linking between PDMS and the protein are confirmed by FTIR, and the contact angle measurements indicate the improved hydrophilic nature of the composite films as compared to PDMS. Atomic Force Microscopy results demonstrate that the surface roughness is enhanced by the incorporation of the protein and is a function of the pH. The effective elastic modulus of the composites is improved by the incorporation of protein into the PDMS matrix. Measurements of the dielectric properties of these composites indicate that they behave as capacitors at lower frequency range while demonstrating resistive characteristics at higher frequency. These composites provide preliminary ideas in developing flexible devices for potential applications in diverse areas such as energy storage materials, and thermo-elective wireless switching devices.

Abstract
Molecular patterning on biomaterial surfaces is an effective strategy to regulate biomaterial properties. Among the specific molecules, due to their biological functions, such as regulating cell behavior, heparin-like polymers (HLPs) have attracted much attention. In this study, HLP-distributed regional patterned surfaces (300 μm diameter circular array) were prepared by the combination of visible light-induced graft polymerization, transfer imprinting, and self-assembly to regulate the behavior of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells (HUVSMCs). The introduction of the regional pattern on HLP-modified surfaces enhanced the promotion effect of sulfonate-containing polymer (pSS) and sulfonate-, and glyco-containing copolymer (pS-co-pM), and slightly weakened the inhibition effect of glyco-containing polymer (pMAG) on the growth of HUVECs and HUVSMCs. Compared with flat surfaces, it was found that the unmodified regional patterned surfaces inhibit the spreading of HUVECs and HUVSMCs, while significantly promoting the spreading of HUVECs and HUVSMCs on all the HLP-distributed regional patterned surfaces. The patterned surface modified with pS-co-pM had the highest average spread area of HUVECs (∼10,554 μm2), which was 193 % higher than that of the unmodified flat surface. This trend was somewhat related to surface VEGF adsorption. The combination of regional divisive patterns and different HLP distributions enriched the potential of further exploring the influences of HLP chemical distributions and complex surface environments on cell-material interactions.

Abstract
Heparin-mimicking polymers (HMPs) are artificially synthesized alternatives to heparin with comparable regulatory effects on protein adsorption and cell behavior. By introducing two major structural elements of HMPs (sulfonate- and glyco-containing units) to different areas of material surfaces, heterogeneous surfaces patterned with different HMPs and homogeneous surfaces patterned with the same HMPs can be obtained. In this work, heterogeneous HMP-patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces with sulfonate-containing polySS (pS) and glyco-containing polyMAG (pM) distributed in circular patterns (with a diameter of 300 μm) were prepared (S-M and M-S). Specifically, pS and pM were distributed inside and outside the circles on S-M, respectively, and exchanged their distribution on M-S. Homogeneous HMP-patterned silicone surfaces (SM-SM) where sulfonate- and glyco-containing poly(SS-co-MAG) (pSM) were distributed uniformly were prepared. Vascular cells showed interestingly different behaviors between chemically homogeneous and heterogeneous surfaces. They tended to grow in the sulfonate-modified area on S-M and M-S and were distributed uniformly on SM-SM. Compared with M-S, S-M showed a better promoting effect on the growth of vascular cells. Among all the samples, SM-SM exhibited the highest proliferation density and an optimum spreading state of vascular cells, as well as the highest human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) viability (∼99%) and relatively low human umbilical vein smooth muscle cell (HUVSMC) viability (∼72%). By heterogeneous or homogeneous patterning with different structural elements of HMPs, the modified silicone surfaces spatially guided vascular cell distribution and functions. This strategy provides a new surface engineering approach to the study of cell-HMP interactions.

Abstract
Blood vessels are crucial for tissue development, functionality, and homeostasis and are typically a determinant in the progression of healing and regeneration. The tissue microenvironment provides physicochemical cues that affect cellular function, and the study of the microenvironment can be accelerated by the engineering of approaches capable of mimicking various aspects of the microenvironment. In this review, we introduce the major components of the vascular niche and focus on the roles of oxygen and the extracellular matrix (ECM). We demonstrate how vascular engineering approaches enhance our understanding of the microenvironment's impact on the vasculature towards vascular regeneration and describe the current limitations and future directions towards clinical utilization.

Abstract
Heparin-mimicking polymers have emerged as an alternative to heparin to construct effective and safe anticoagulant surfaces. However, the present heparin-mimicking polymers are usually limited to the combinations of glucose and sulfonic acid units, and the structure origin of their anticoagulant properties remains vague. Inspired by the structure of natural heparin, we synthesized a series of novel heparin-mimicking polymers (named GSAs) composed of three units, glucose, sulfonic acid, and carboxylic acid. Then, we constructed artificial extracellular matrices composed of GSAs and two typical cationic polymers, polyethyleneimine and chitosan, to investigate the anticoagulation and endothelialization of GSAs. By changing the ratio of the three units, their functions in the matrices were studied systematically. We found that an increase in the sulfonic acid content enhanced surface anticoagulant activity, an increase in glucose and sulfonic acid content promoted the proliferation of human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells, and an increase in the carboxylic acid content inhibited the adherence of human umbilical vein vascular smooth muscle cells. This work uncovers the important role of the GSAs structure to the anticoagulation properties, which sheds new light on the design and preparation of heparin-mimicking polymers for practical engineering applications.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) catheters have potential to be blood compatible and could be used to prevent thrombotic occlusion. Here, we produced heparin-mimicking anticoagulation PVC tubing on a large scale by synthesizing a heparin-mimicking polymer (HMP) and co-extruding. The PVC@HMP catheter was evaluated using whole human blood in vitro, which indicated it could prevent plasma protein attachment, reduce platelet adhesion and activation, and inhibit coagulation factors (XII, XI, IX, and VIII). Moreover, the anticoagulation PVC tubing was assembled into extracorporeal circulation with a New Zealand rabbit model, manifesting excellent real-time antithrombogenic properties without systemic heparin anticoagulation in vivo. The rapid recovery of coagulation factors after operation further confirmed its superiority over heparin, which would not completely inactivate the activity of those coagulation factors (XII, XI, IX and VIII). In addition, the PVC@HMP-1 catheters remain patent after being implanted in rats for 28 days without apparent inflammation and mortality complications. The anticoagulation PVC tubes could be used to construct various systemic and integrative anticlotting biomedical devices, which would dramatically reduce the introduction of heparin into blood circulation, thus preventing side effects and promoting the development of heparin-free treatment.

Abstract
The endothelial glycocalyx is a carbohydrate-rich layer overlying the outermost surface of endothelial cells. It mediates intercellular interactions by specific chemical compositions (e.g., proteoglycans containing glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains) and micro/nanotopography. Inspired by the endothelial glycocalyx, we fabricated a series of glycocalyx-mimetic surfaces with tunable chemical compositions (GAG-like polymers with different functional units) and topographical structures (micro/nanopatterns with pillars different in size). The combination of micro/nanopatterns and GAG-like polymers was flexibly and precisely controlled by replica molding using silicon templates (Si templates) and visible light-initiated polymerization. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells (HUVSMCs) were suppressed on surfaces modified with polymers of 2-methacrylamido glucopyranose (MAG) but promoted on surfaces modified with polymers of sodium 4-vinyl-benzenesulfonate (SS) and copolymers of SS and MAG. Surface micro/nanopatterns showed highly complicated effects on surfaces grafted with different GAG-like polymers. Moreover, the spread of HUVSMCs was highly promoted on all flat/patterned surfaces containing sulfonate units, and the elongation effect was stronger on surfaces with smaller pillars. On all the flat/patterned surfaces modified with GAG-like polymers, the adsorption of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was improved, and the amount of VEGF and bFGF absorbed on patterned surfaces containing sulfonate units decreased with pattern dimensions. The decreasing trend of VEGF and bFGF adsorption was in accordance with HUVEC density, suggesting that glycocalyx-mimetic surfaces influence the adsorption of VEGF and bFGF and further influence the growth behavior of vascular cells.

Abstract
A novel modified polysulfone (PSF) is successfully prepared for hemodialysis by grafting with a well-defined heparin-like polymer, sulfonated dihydroxypropyl chitosan (SDHPCS), which is obtained in proper sequence via alkalization of chitosan, etherification and sulfonation. PSF is modified via chloroacetyl chloride, and then, the chloroacylated polysulfone (CAPSF) with pristine PSF is transformed into CAPSF/PSF blend membrane via the phase inversion, followed introducing amino group into CAPSF on the surface and taking glutaraldehyde as bridge between modified PSF membrane and SDHPCS. The result of 1H NMR spectrum of prepared CAPSF indicates that the degree of the substitution of chloroacetyl group. The SEM, EDS mapping, FTIR and XPS show that SDHPCS-g-PSF membranes are successfully prepared. The hydrophilicity of the membrane modified by SDHPCS is improved obviously, and the contact angle remarkably reduced from 87 ° to below 45°, exhibiting much better hydrophilicity. The hemocompatibility characterizations including BSA adsorption, Plasma recalcification time (PRT), hemolysis ratio (HR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) also certificates that SDHPCS-g-PSF possesses lower BSA adsorption and enhanced blood compatibility.

Abstract
In recent decades synthetic polymers have gained increasing popularity, and nowadays they are an integral part of people's daily lives. In addition, owing to their competitive advantage and being susceptible to modification, polymers have stimulated the fast development of innovative technologies in many areas of science. Biopolymers are of particular interest in various branches of medicine, such as implantology of bones, cartilage and skin tissues as well as blood vessels. Biomaterials with such specific applications must have appropriate mechanical and strength characteristics and above all they must be compatible with the surrounding tissues, human blood and its components, i.e. exhibit high hemo- and biocompatibility, low or no thrombo- and carcinogenicity, foreign body response (host response), appropriate osteoconduction, osteoinduction and mineralization. For biocompatibility improvement many surface treatment techniques have been utilized leading to fabricate the polymer biomaterials of required properties, also at nanoscale. This review paper discusses the most important physicochemical and biological factors that affect the biocompatibility, thus the reaction of the living organism after insertion of the polymer-based biomaterials, i.e. surface modification and/or degradation, surface composition (functional groups and charge), size and shapes, hydrophilic-hydrophobic character, wettability and surface free energy, topography (roughness, stiffness), crystalline and amorphous structure, nanostructure, cell adhesion and proliferation, cellular uptake. Particularly, the application of polysaccharides (chitosan, cellulose, starch) in the tissue engineering is emphasized.

Abstract
Vascular cell behavior on material surfaces, such as heparin-like polymers, can be affected by the surface chemical composition and surface topological structure. In this study, the effects of heparin-like polymers and lotus leaf-like topography on surface vascular cell behavior are considered. By combining multicomponent thermo-curing and replica molding, a polydimethylsiloxane surface containing bromine (PDMS-Br) with lotus leaf-like topography is obtained. Heparin-like polymers with different chemical compositions are grafted onto PDMS-Br surfaces using visible-light-induced graft polymerization. Compared with unmodified PDMS-Br, surfaces modified by sulfonate-containing polymers are more friendly to vascular cells, while those modified by a glyco-polymer are much more resistant to vascular cells. The introduction of lotus leaf-like topography results in different degrees of decrease in cell density on different heparin-like polymer-modified surfaces. In addition, the combination of heparin-like polymers and lotus leaf-like topography results in the change in protein adsorption, indicating that the two factors may affect the surface vascular cell behavior by affecting the adsorption of relative proteins. The combination of bionic surface topography and different chemical components of heparin-like polymers on material surfaces suggests a new way of engineering cell-material interactions.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 201:111653. [PMID: 33667866 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Blood compatibility is an eternal topic of biomedical materials. The effect of heparin-mimicking polymers (HMPs) on blood compatibility has been well studied, especially the synergistic effect of sugar unit and sulfonate/sulfate unit. However, carboxylic groups also play an important role in HMPs. In this work, copolymers of sodium 4-vinyl-benzenesulfonate (SS) and 2-methacrylamido glucopyranose (MAG) (poly(SS-co-MAG)) and poly(acrylate acid) (PAA) were self-assembled on Au surfaces with different feed ratios. When self-assembly of poly(SS-co-MAG) alone, the optimized feed ratio of SS and MAG for vascular cell selectivity was 1:1 (PS1M1); at this ratio the Au-PS1M1 surface showed the highest human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) density and the lowest human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells (HUVSMCs) density. When self-assembly of PAA alone (surface designated as Au-PAA), the proliferation of both HUVECs and HUVSMCs was inhibited. Compared with either PS1M1 or PAA alone, the surfaces modified with both PAA and PS1M1 at the feed ratio of 1:1 (material designated as Au-PSM/PAA-2) showed enhanced promoting effect on HUVECs as well as enhanced inhibiting effect on HUVSMCs, indicating stronger vascular cell selectivity of carboxylic groups in the presence of sugar and sulfonate units.
