Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 331:103248. [PMID: 39033588 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Polypeptides have shown an excellent potential in nanomedicine thanks to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, high functionality, and responsiveness to several stimuli. Polypeptides exhibit high propensity to organize at the supramolecular level; hence, they have been extensively considered as building blocks in the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. The LbL technique is a highly versatile methodology, which involves the sequential assembly of building blocks, mainly driven by electrostatic interactions, onto planar or colloidal templates to fabricate sophisticated multilayer nanoarchitectures. The simplicity and the mild conditions required in the LbL approach have led to the inclusion of biopolymers and bioactive molecules for the fabrication of a wide spectrum of biodegradable, biocompatible, and precisely engineered multilayer films for biomedical applications. This review focuses on those examples in which polypeptides have been used as building blocks of multilayer nanoarchitectures for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications, highlighting the characteristics of the polypeptides and the strategies adopted to increase the stability of the multilayer film. Cross-linking is presented as a powerful strategy to enhance the stability and stiffness of the multilayer network, which is a fundamental requirement for biomedical applications. For example, in tissue engineering, a stiff multilayer coating, the presence of adhesion promoters, and/or bioactive molecules boost the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of cells. On the contrary, antimicrobial coatings should repel and inhibit the growth of bacteria. In drug delivery applications, mainly focused on particles and capsules at the micro- and nano-meter scale, the stability of the multilayer film is crucial in terms of retention and controlled release of the payload. Recent advances have shown the key role of the polypeptides in the adsorption of genetic material with high loading efficiency, and in addressing different pathways of the particles/capsules during the intracellular uptake, paving the way for applications in personalized medicine. Although there are a few studies, the responsiveness of the polypeptides to the pH changes, together with the inclusion of stimuli-responsive entities into the multilayer network, represents a further key factor for the development of smart drug delivery systems to promote a sustained release of therapeutics. The degradability of polypeptides may be an obstacle in certain scenarios for the controlled intracellular release of a drug once an external stimulus is applied. Nowadays, the highly engineered design of biodegradable LbL particles/capsules is oriented on the development of theranostics that, limited to use of polypeptides, are still in their infancy.

Abstract
Tissue or organ damage due to severe injuries or chronic diseases can adversely affect the quality of life. Current treatments rely on organ or tissue transplantation which has limitations including unavailability of donors, ethical issues, or immune rejection after transplantations. These limitations can be addressed by tissue regeneration which involves the development of bioactive scaffolds closely mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM). One of the major components of ECM is the laminin protein which supports several tissues associated with important organs. In this direction, peptide-based hydrogels can effectively mimic the essential characteristics of laminin. While several reports have discussed the structure of laminin, the potential of laminin-derived peptide hydrogels as effective biomaterial for tissue engineering applications is yet to be discussed. In this context, the current review focuses on the structure of laminin and its role as an essential ECM protein. Further, the potential of short peptide hydrogels in mimicking the crucial properties of laminin is proposed. The review further highlights the significance of bioactive hydrogels inspired by laminin - in addressing numerous tissue engineering applications including angiogenesis, neural, skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue regeneration along with a brief outlook on the future applications of these laminin-based hydrogels.

Abstract
Self-assembled hydrogels, fabricated through diverse non-covalent interactions, have been extensively studied in regenerative medicines. Inspired from bioactive functional motifs of ECM protein, short peptide sequences have shown remarkable abilities to replicate the intrinsic features of the natural extracellular milieu. In this direction, we have fabricated two short hydrophobic bioactive sequences derived from the laminin protein i. e., IKVAV and YIGSR. Based on the substantial hydrophobicity of these peptides, we selected a co-solvent approach as a suitable gelation technique that included different concentrations of DMSO as an organic phase along with an aqueous solution containing 0.1 % TFA. These hydrophobic laminin-based bioactive peptides with limited solubility in aqueous physiological environment showed significantly enhanced solubility with higher DMSO content in water. The enhanced solubility resulted in extensive intermolecular interactions that led to the formation of hydrogels with a higher-order entangled network along with improved mechanical properties. Interestingly, by simply modulating DMSO content, highly tunable gels were accessed in the same gelator domain that displayed differential physicochemical properties. Further, the cellular studies substantiated the potential of these laminin-derived hydrogels in enhancing cell-matrix interactions, thereby reinforcing their applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Surfaces with biological functionalities are of great interest for biomaterials, tissue engineering, biophysics, and for controlling biological processes. The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a highly versatile methodology introduced 30 years ago, which consists of assembling complementary polyelectrolytes or biomolecules in a stepwise manner to form thin self-assembled films. In view of its simplicity, compatibility with biological molecules, and adaptability to any kind of supporting material carrier, this technology has undergone major developments over the past decades. Specific applications have emerged in different biomedical fields owing to the possibility to load or immobilize biomolecules with preserved bioactivity, to use an extremely broad range of biomolecules and supporting carriers, and to modify the film's mechanical properties via crosslinking. In this review, the focus is on the recent developments regarding LbL films formed as 2D or 3D objects for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. Possible applications in the fields of vaccinology, 3D biomimetic tissue models, as well as bone and cardiovascular tissue engineering are highlighted. In addition, the most recent technological developments in the field of film construction, such as high-content liquid handling or machine learning, which are expected to open new perspectives in the future developments of LbL, are presented.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels with nonlinear mechanical attributes to emulate natural biopolymers hold paramount significance in tissue engineering, offering the potential to create scaffolds that seamlessly mimic the biomechanical intricacies of living tissues. Herein, we unveil a synthetic design strategy employing Schiff base chemistry to furnish a peptide-polymer hierarchical contractile injectable hydrogel network. This innovative design demonstrates cross-linking of supramolecular peptide nanostructures such as nanofibers, 1NF, and twisted bundles, 1TB, with a thermosensitive aldehyde-functionalized polymer, PCHO. These networks exhibit interesting nonlinear mechanical stiffening responses to temperature and external stress. Furthermore, the hydrogels transform into a gel state at physiological temperature to exhibit injectable behavior and demonstrate compression load-bearing capabilities. Finally, the hydrogel network exhibits excellent biocompatibility and cell proliferation toward fibroblast, L929, and myoblast, C2C12, to validate their use as potential extracellular matrix mimetic injectable scaffolds.
