Polymers Enables Reagent-Free Covalent

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Treatment of Polymers Enables Reagent-Free Covalent Attachment of Biomolecules for Bioprinting

3D bioprinting, where cells, hydrogels and structural polymers can be printed layer by layer into complex designs, holds great promise for advances in medicine and the biomedical sciences. In principle, this technique enables the creation of highly patient specific disease models and biomedical implants.
However, an ability to tailor surface biocompatibility and interfacial bonding between printed components, such as polymers and hydrogels, is currently lacking. Here we demonstrate that an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) can locally activate polymeric surfaces for the reagent-free covalent attachment of proteins and hydrogel in a single-step process at desired locations.
Polyethylene and poly--caprolactone (PCL) were used as example polymers. Covalent attachment of the proteins and hydrogel was demonstrated by resistance to removal by rigorous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) washing. The immobilized protein and hydrogel layers were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
Importantly, the APPJ surface activation also rendered the polymer surfaces mildly hydrophilic as required for optimum biocompatibility.
Water contact angles were observed to be stable within a range where the conformation of biomolecules is preserved. Single and double electrode designs of APPJs were compared in their characteristics relevant to localized surface functionalization, plume length and shape. As a proof of efficacy in a biological context, APPJ treated polyethylene functionalized with fibronectin was used to demonstrate improvements in cell adhesion and proliferation.
These results have important implications for the development of a new generation of 3D bioprinters capable of spatially patterned and tailored surface functionalization performed during the 3D printing process in situ.

Improved HPLC Conditions to Determine Eumelanin and Pheomelanin Contents in Biological Samples Using an Ion Pair Reagent

Alkaline hydrogen peroxide oxidation (AHPO) of eumelanin and pheomelanin, two major classes of melanin pigments, affords pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA), pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) and pyrrole-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (PTeCA) from eumelanin and thiazole-2,4,5-tricarboxylic acid (TTCA) and thiazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (TDCA) from pheomelanin. Quantification of these five markers by HPLC provides useful information on the quantity and structural diversity of melanins in various biological samples.
HPLC analysis of these markers using the original method of 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 2.1):methanol = 99:1 (85:15 for PTeCA) on a reversed-phase column had some problems, including the short lifetime of the column and, except for the major eumelanin marker PTCA, other markers were occasionally overlapped by interfering peaks in samples containing only trace levels of these markers.
These problems can be overcome by the addition of an ion pair reagent for anions, such as tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (1 mM), to retard the elution of di-, tri- and tetra-carboxylic acids.
The methanol concentration was increased to 17% (30% for PTeCA) and the linearity, reproducibility, and recovery of the markers with this improved method is good to excellent. This improved HPLC method was compared to the original method using synthetic melanins, mouse hair, human hair, and human epidermal samples. In addition to PTCA, TTCA, a major marker for pheomelanin, showed excellent correlations between both HPLC methods.
The other markers showed an attenuation of the interfering peaks with the improved method. We recommend this improved HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of melanin markers following AHPO because of its simplicity, accuracy, and reproducibility.
