چکیده

Although relatively resistant to oxidation, polycarbonate-based polyurethanes (PCNUs) are degraded by monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) by a co-mediated mechanism involving both hydrolytic and oxidative pathways. Since a previous study showed that PCNU pretreatment with H(2)O(2) modulated degradation by esterases, human MDM were used to further elucidate this dual pathway mechanism of degradation for (14)C-radiolabeled PCNUs (synthesized with 1,6-hexane diisocyanate:polycarbonatediol: butanediol with different stoichiometry (HDI431 and HDI321) or another diisocyanate 4,4'-methylene bisphenyl diisocyanate (MDI321)). Scanning electron microscopy of PCNU slips pretreated with 20% H(2)O(2) showed that HDI431 had visible holes with more radiolabel release than from the other PCNUs. When MDM were seeded on H(2)O(2)-treated PCNUs, degradation of HDI321 and MDI321, but not HDI431 was decreased. Esterase activity was inhibited in MDM on all surfaces except MDI321, whereas inhibition of acid phosphatase occurred on all surfaces. The material surface itself, induced H(2)O(2) release from live MDM, with more H(2)O(2) elicited by phorbol myristate acetate treated MDM when cultured on HDI431 but not the other materials. H(2)O(2) pretreatment affected cell function by chemically altering the material surface and MDM-mediated degradation, known to be dependent on surface chemistry. The findings highlight that both oxidative and hydrolytic mechanisms need to be understood in order to tailor material chemistry to produce desired cell responses for in vivo applications.

Degradability of cross-linked polyurethanes based on synthetic polyhydroxybutyrate and modified with polylactide

In many areas of application of conventional non-degradable cross-linked polyurethanes (PUR), there is a need for their degradation under the influence of specific environmental factors. It is practiced by incorporation of sensitive to degradation compounds (usually of natural origin) into the polyurethane structure, or by mixing them with polyurethanes. Cross-linked polyurethanes (with 10 and ...

Using the Protein-protein Interaction Network to Identifying the Biomarkers in Evolution of the Oocyte

Background Oocyte maturity includes nuclear and cytoplasmic maturity, both of which are important for embryo fertilization. The development of oocyte is not limited to the period of follicular growth, and starts from the embryonic period and continues throughout life. In this study, for the purpose of evaluating the effect of the FSH hormone on the expression of genes, GEO access codes for this...

Advanced Glycation End-Products and Their Receptor-Mediated Roles: Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Glycation is a protein modification, which results in a change in a protein structure. Glycation is believed to be the etiology of various age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and Alz-heimer’s disease (AD). Activation of microglia and resident macrophages in the brain by glycated proteins with subsequent oxidative stress and cytokine release may be an important factor in the progressi...
