چکیده

Adsorption of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in competition with other substances is a key to explain the relationship between substratum surface hydrophobicity and mammalian cell adhesion: when polystyrene substrata were exposed simultaneously to ECM protein and a PEO-PPO-PEO polymer surfactant (Pluronic F68), either by pre-conditioning or through protein cell secretion, a weaker substratum hydrophobicity favoured adsorption of the protein and subsequent cell adhesion. This knowledge was used to achieve a selective adhesion of different types of mammalian cells on tracks (a few tens of mm wide) produced on polystyrene by photolithography and oxygen plasma treatment, conditioning the substratum with a solution of ECM protein and Pluronic F68. Examination of a broader range of substrata confirmed that inhibition of cell adhesion on hydrophobic substrata is due to adsorption of substances competing with extracellular matrix proteins. However it also showed that substratum surface properties more subtle than overall wettability are important. In situ observation of the nanoscale organisation of collagen adsorbed in the absence of competitor, using atomic force microscopy (AFM), showed that a smooth substratum surface allows collagen mobility and aggregation of molecular ends in the adsorbed phase. The organisation obtained after drying (smooth film, pattern) was examined by combining AFM, XPS and radiolabelling and found to be influenced by substratum roughness, substratum hydrophobicity and drying rate.

اصلاح سطح ابرآبگریز پلیمر پلی‌پروپیلن با هدف بهبود برهم‌کنش‌های بیولوژیک

The significance of producing superhydrophobic surfaces through modification of surface chemistry and structure is in preventing or delaying biofilm formation. This is done to improve biocompatibility and chemical and biological properties of the surface by creating micro-nano multilevel rough structure; and to decrease surface free energy by Fault Tolerant Control Strategy (FTCS) . Here, we pr...

Protein and cell patterning in closed polymer channels by photoimmobilizing proteins on photografted poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate.

Definable surface chemistry is essential for many applications of microfluidic polymer systems. However, small cross-section channels with a high surface to volume ratio enhance passive adsorption of molecules that depletes active molecules in solution and contaminates the channel surface. Here, we present a one-step photochemical process to coat the inner surfaces of closed microfluidic channe...

Protein adsorption on various plasma-treated polyethylene terephthalate substrates.

Protein adhesion and cell response to plasma-treated polymer surfaces were studied. The polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was treated in either an oxygen plasma to make the surface hydrophilic, or a tetrafluoromethane CF(4) plasma to make the surface hydrophobic. The plasma source was radiofrequency (RF) discharge. The adsorption of albumin and other proteins from a cell-culture medium o...

Effects of Plasma Proteins on Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A Adhesion and Interaction with Platelets on Polyurethane Biomaterial Surfaces

Plasma proteins influence the initial adhesion of bacteria to biomaterials as well as interactions between bacteria and blood platelets on blood-contacting medical devices. In this paper, we study the effects of three human plasma proteins, albumin, fibrinogen (Fg), and fibronectin (Fn), on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidemidis RP62A to polyurethane biomaterial surfaces, and also address ho...

Polymer brushes based on PLLA-b-PEO colloids for the preparation of protein resistant PLA surfaces.

In this study we investigate the formation of protein-resistant polymer surfaces, such as aliphatic polyesters, through the deposition of self-assemblies of amphiphilic poly(l-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), PLLA-b-PEO, copolymers as stable nanoparticles with a kinetically frozen PLLA core on model PLLA surfaces. The length of the PEO chains in the corona was tuned to achieve polymer brushes c...
