MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13020335. [PMID: 31940759 PMCID: PMC7013836 DOI: 10.3390/ma13020335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2019] [Revised: 01/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials are often used in tissue engineering applications to influence and manipulate the behavior of cells. Recently, a number of tungsten-silicon oxide nanocomposite devices containing equal width (symmetric) tungsten and silicon oxide parallel line comb structures were developed and used by our group. The devices induced over 90% of seeded cells (Vero) to align within ±20° of the axes of 10 µm wide tungsten lines. Furthermore, a mathematical model was successfully developed to predict this alignment behavior and forecast the minimum width of isolated tungsten lines required to induce such behavior. However, the mechanism by which the widths of the symmetrical tungsten and silicon oxide lines induce the alignment behavior is still unknown. Furthermore, the model was never tested on more complex asymmetrical structures. Herewith, experiments were conducted with mammalian cells on complex asymmetrical structures with unequal tungsten and silicon oxide line widths. Results showed that the model could be extended to more complex pattern structures. In addition, cell morphology on the patterned structures reset during cell division because of mitotic rounding, which reduced the population of cells that elongated and aligned on the tungsten lines. Ultimately, we concluded that it was impossible to achieve a 100% alignment with cells having unsynchronized cell cycles because cell rounding during mitosis took precedence over cell alignment; in other words, internal chemical cues had a stronger role in cell morphology than external cues.

Abstract
The direct cell control by surface topographic patterns in the micrometer and nanometer range has been proven to be important for the maintenance of tissue structures. This study presents the application of direct laser writing to fabricate micro-gratings on the biodegradable material 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-co-polyol sebacate (APS). The 193 nm excimer laser is applied to form microgrooves with widths of 2 to 10 μm and depths of 400 to 2884 nm. Two kinds of cells, fibroblasts of the rabbit synoviocyte cell line (HIG-82) and endothelial cells of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), were cultured on the flat and patterned APS to evaluate the biocompatibility of APS as well as the influence of contact guidance for cellular behaviours, respectively. The results show that both HIG-82 and HUVECs grow actively on APS scaffolds with directional growth, which was observed through cell morphology and proliferation rate, indicating their applicability in tissue regeneration. HIG-82 was observed to exhibit directional growth with the highest cell spreading area and density on the scaffolds with 7 μm width and 1350-1500 nm depth of gratings. Meanwhile, high cell spreading area and cell density of HUVECs were observed on laser ablated APS with 5 μm gratings and at depths greater than 1485 nm. The proposed microgrooves on APS could significantly enhance the cell growth, adhesion and even promote selective cell proliferation, which poses potential application for further tissue engineering studies.

Abstract
Highly ordered nanostructures have gained substantial interest in the research community due to their fascinating properties and wide applications.Micro-/nano-spherical lens photolithography (SLPL) has been recognized as an inexpensive, inherently parallel, and high-throughput approach to the creation of highly ordered nanostructures. SLPL based on monolayer colloidal crystals (MCCs) of self-assembled colloidal micro-/nano-spheres have recently made remarkable progress in overcoming the constraints of conventional photolithography in terms of cost, feature size, tunability, and pattern complexity. In this review, we highlight the current state-of-the-art in this field with an emphasis on the fabrication of a variety of highly ordered nanostructures based on this technique and their demonstrated applications in light emitting diodes, nano-patterning semiconductors, and localized surface plasmon resonance devices. Finally, we present a perspective on the future development of MCC-based SLPL technique, including a discussion on the improvement of the quality of MCCs and the compatibility of this technique with other semiconductor micromachining process for nanofabrication.

Abstract
In this study, we describe the development of surface-modified chitosan substrates to examine topographically related Neuro-2a cell behaviors. Different functional groups can be modified on chitosan surfaces to probe Neuro-2a cell morphology. To prepare chitosan substrates with micro/nano-scaled features, we demonstrated an easy-to-handle method that combined photolithography, inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching, Ag nanoparticle-assisted etching, and solution casting. The results show that Neuro-2a cells preferred to adhere to a flat chitosan surface rather than a nanotextured chitosan surface as evidenced by greater immobilization and differentiation, suggesting that surface topography is crucial for neural patterning. In addition, we developed chitosan substrates with different geometric patterns and flat region depth; this allowed us to re-arrange or re-pattern Neuro-2a cell colonies at desired locations. We found that a polarity-induced micropattern provided the most suitable surface pattern for promoting neural network formation on a chitosan substrate. The cellular polarity of single Neuro-2a cell spreading correlated to a diamond-like geometry and neurite outgrowth was induced from the corners toward the grooves of the structures. This study provide greater insight into neurobiology, including neurotransmitter screening, electrophysiological stimulation platforms, and biomedical engineering.
