Macromolecular cell surface engineering for accelerated and reversible cellular aggregation.

چکیده
We report the synthesis of two simple copolymers that induce rapid cell aggregation within minutes in a fully reversible manner. The polymers can act as self-supporting "cellular glues" or as "drivers" of 3D cell spheroids/aggregates formation at minute concentrations.

In this paper, a series of well-defined polyethylene-b-polytetrafluoroethylene diblock copolymers (PE–b– PTFEs) were prepared by a coupling reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene (PE–OH) and isocyanateterminated 1H,1H-perfluoro-1-tetradecanol (PFDO–NCO). PE–OH was prepared by the coordination chain transfer polymerization using 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino ethyl] pyridine iron (...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITY OF COVALENTLY CONJUGATED METHOTREXATE TO POLYAMIDOAMINE GENERATION 4 DENDRIMER ON MCF-7 CANCER CELLS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Background & Aims: Poly (amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMAM) is highly macromolecular at nanosize with widely active amine groups on the surface that allows it to attach to the anti-cancer drugs such as Methotrexate (MTX). This study aimed to synthesize and characterize PAMAM-MTX (dendrimer-MTX) complex, then to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of the synthesized complex on MCF-7 cancer cells. Material...

متن کاملBeta-catenin Forms Protein Aggregation at High Concentrations in HEK293TCells
Background: The canonical Wnt signal transduction (or the Wnt/β-catenin pathway) plays a crucial role in the development of animals and in carcinogenesis. Beta-catenin is the central component of this signaling pathway. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling results in the cytoplasmic and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. In the nucleus, β-catenin interacts with the TCF/LEF transcription fa...
