Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) Modified Biomimetic Polymeric Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new generation of biomaterials focuses on the design of biomimetic polymeric materials that are capable of eliciting specific cellular responses and directing new tissue formation. Since Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequences have been found to promote cell adhesion in 1984, numerous polymers have been functionalized with RGD peptides for tissue engineering applications. This review gave the advance in RGD modified biomimetic polymeric materials, focusing on the mechanism of RGD, the surface and bulk modification of polymer with RGD peptides and the evaluation in vitro and in vivo of the modified biomimetic materials.

Optimization of RGD-modified Nano-liposomes Encapsulating Eptifibatide
Background: Eptifibatide (Integrilin) is an intravenous (IV) peptide drug that selectively inhibits ligand binding to the platelet GP IIb/IIIa receptor. It is an efficient peptide drug, however has a short half-life. Therefore, antithrombotic agents like eptifibatide are required to become improved with a protected and targeted delivery system such as using nano-liposomes to the site of thrombu...
متن کاملIncreased cell death after therapy with an Arg-Gly-Asp-linked somatostatin analog.
UNLABELLED Receptor-targeted scintigraphy and radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs are successfully applied for somatostatin receptor-positive tumors. The synergistic effects of an apoptosis-inducing factor, for example, the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif, can increase the radiotherapeutic efficacy of these peptides. Hence, the tumoricidal effects of the hybrid peptide RGD-dieth...

We report the fabrication of a novel type of artificial small diameter blood vessels, termed biomimetic tissue-engineered blood vessels (bTEBV), with a modular composition. They are composed of a hydrogel scaffold consisting of two negatively charged natural polymers, alginate and a modified chitosan, N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (N,O-CMC). Into this biologically inert scaffold two biofunctionall...
متن کاملTripeptide, Arg-Gly-Asp, inhibits the transfection of protein-linked DNA of bacteriophage M2.
The effect of tripeptide, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), on the transfection activity of Bacillus phage M2 DNA was examined. The transfection activity decreased when M2 DNA was preincubated with RGD before it was added to competent cells.

Our previous studies showed that the nonapeptide fragment of HLA-DQ of the sequence H-Thr-Pro-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-Thr-OH, located in the beta164-172 loop, strongly suppresses the humoral and cellular immune responses, while its shorter analogs, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-OH, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH and H-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH show only a weak stimulatory activity in respect to the humoral immu...
