Abstract
Advances in cell immunotherapy underscore the need for effective methods to produce large populations of effector T cells, driving growing interest in T-cell bioprocessing and immunoengineering. Research suggests that T cells demonstrate enhanced expansion and differentiation on soft matrices in contrast to rigid ones. Nevertheless, the influence of antibody conjugation chemistry on these processes remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effect of antibody conjugation chemistry on T cell activation, expansion and differentiation using a soft and biocompatible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) platform. We rigorously evaluated three distinct immobilization methods, beginning with the use of amino-silane (PDMS-NH2-Ab), followed by glutaraldehyde (PDMS-CHO-Ab) or succinic acid anhydride (PDMS-COOH-Ab) activation, in addition to the conventional physical adsorption (PDMS-Ab). By employing both stable amide bonds and reducible Schiff bases, antibody conjugation significantly enhanced antibody loading and density compared to physical adsorption. Furthermore, we discovered that the PDMS-COOH-Ab surface significantly promoted IL-2 secretion, CD69 expression, and T cell expansion compared to the other groups. Moreover, we observed that both PDMS-COOH-Ab and PDMS-NH2-Ab surfaces exhibited a tendency to induce the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th1 cells, whereas the PDMS-Ab surface elicited a Th2-biased immunological response. These findings highlight the importance of antibody conjugation chemistry in the design and development of T cell culture biomaterials. They also indicate that PDMS holds promise as a material for constructing culture platforms to modulate T cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation.

A Versatile Approach for the Synthesis of Antimicrobial Polymer Brushes on Natural Rubber/Graphene Oxide Composite Films via Surface-Initiated Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization. Molecules 2024; 29:913. [PMID: 38398663 PMCID: PMC10891501 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29040913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
A simple strategy was adopted for the preparation of an antimicrobial natural rubber/graphene oxide (NR/GO) composite film modified through the use of zwitterionic polymer brushes. An NR/GO composite film with antibacterial properties was prepared using a water-based solution-casting method. The composited GO was dispersed uniformly in the NR matrix and compensated for mechanical loss in the process of modification. Based on the high bromination activity of α-H in the structure of cis-polyisoprene, the composite films were brominated on the surface through the use of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under the irradiation of a 40 W tungsten lamp. Polymerization was carried out on the brominated films using sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) as a monomer via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). The NR/GO composite films modified using polymer brushes (PSBMAs) exhibited 99.99% antimicrobial activity for resistance to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A novel polymer modification strategy for NR composite materials was established effectively, and the enhanced antimicrobial properties expand the application prospects in the medical field.

Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has excellent physical-chemical properties and good biocompatibility. Thus, PDMS has been widely applied in biomedical applications. However, the low surface free energy and surface hydrophobicity of PDMS can easily lead to adverse symptoms, such as tissue damage and ulceration, during medical treatment. Therefore, the construction of a hydrophilic low-friction surface on the PDMS surface could be helpful for alleviating patient discomfort and would be of great significance for broadening the application of PDMS in the field of interventional medical catheters. Existing surface modification methods such as hydrogel coatings and chemical grafting suffer from several deficiencies including uncontrollable thickness, surface fragility, and low surface strength. In this study, a hydrophilic surface with ultra-low friction properties was prepared on the surface of PDMS by an ultraviolet light (UV) curing method. The monomer acrylamide (AM) was induced by a photoinitiator to form a coating on the surface of the silicone rubber by in situ polymerization. The surface roughness of the as-prepared coatings was regulated by adding different concentrations of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) to the monomer solution, and the coating properties were systematically characterized. The results indicated that the roughness and thickness of the as-prepared coatings decreased with increasing AMPS concentration and the as-prepared coatings had good hydrophilicity and low-friction properties. The Coefficient of Friction (CoF) was as low as 0.0075 in the deionized water solution, which was 99.7% lower than that of the unmodified PDMS surface. Moreover, the coating with a lower surface roughness exhibited better low-friction properties. The results reported herein provide new insight into the preparation of hydrophilic, low-friction coatings on polymer surfaces.

Abstract
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane has super physical-mechanical properties and biocompatibility, but the surface is inert and lack of active groups which limit its application in cell culture. Silk sericin (SS) can improve cell adhesion, proliferation, growth and metabolism. In this paper, SS was grafted onto the surface of TPU membrane by -NH2 bridge to build a high efficiency cell culture membrane. The FT-IR spectrum results indicated SS was grafted by chemical bond. According to the SEM and AFM results, we found that the grafting of SS reduced the water contact angle by 43.31% and increased the surface roughness by about four times. When TPU-SS was used for HepG2 cell culture, the cell adhesion rate of TPU-SS was significantly higher than that of the general TCPS cell culture plate, and the cell proliferation rate was close to that of TCPS. FDA/EB staining showed that HepG2 cells remained a better cellular growth behavior. HepG2 cells had higher cell vitality including the albumin secretion and the intracellular total protein synthesis. Grafting SS maintained the stability of cell and significantly decreased the cytotoxicity by decreased LDH release. In conclusion, SS grafting is beneficial to cell culture in vitro, and provides a key material for bioartificial liver culture system.

Abstract
The importance of neurotransmitter sensing in the diagnosis and treatment of many psychological illnesses and neurodegenerative diseases is non-negotiable. For electrochemical sensors to become widespread and accurate, a long journey must be undertaken for each device, from understanding the materials at the molecular level to real applications in biological fluids. We report a modification of diamondized boron-doped carbon nanowalls (BCNWs) with an electropolymerized polydopamine/polyzwitterion (PDA|PZ) coating revealing tunable mechanical and electrochemical properties. Zwitterions are codeposited with PDA and noncovalently incorporated into a structure. This approach causes a specific separation of the diffusion fields generated by each nanowall during electrochemical reactions, thus increasing the contribution of the steady-state currents in the amperometric response. This phenomenon has a profound effect on the sensing properties, leading to a 4-fold enhancement of the sensitivity (3.1 to 14.3 μA cm-2 μM-1) and a 5-fold decrease of the limit of detection (505 to 89 nM) in comparison to the pristine BCNWs. Moreover, as a result of the antifouling capabilities of the incorporated zwitterions, this enhancement is preserved in bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a high protein concentration. The presence of zwitterion facilitates the transport of dopamine in the direction of the electrode by intermolecular interactions such as cation-π and hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, polydopamine units attached to the surface form molecular pockets driven by hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. As a result, the intermediate state of dopamine-analyte oxidation is stabilized, leading to the enhancement of the sensing properties.
