A universal protocol for photochemical covalent immobilization of intact carbohydrates for the preparation of carbohydrate microarrays.

ABSTRACT: A universal photochemical method has been established for the immobilization of intact carbohydrates and their analogues, and for the fabrication of carbohydrate microarrays. The method features the use of perfluorophenyl azide (PFPA)-modified substrates and the photochemical reaction of surface azido groups with printed carbohydrates. Various aldoses, ketoses, nonreducing sugars such as alditols, and their derivatives can be directly arrayed on the PFPA-modified chips. The lectin-recognition ability of arrayed mannose, glucose, and their oligo- and polysaccharides were confirmed using surface plasmon resonance imaging and laser-induced fluorescence imaging.

A practical protocol for carbohydrate microarrays.

Project description:We have established a high-throughput biochip platform for constructing carbohydrate microarrays. Using this technology, carbohydrate-containing macromolecules of diverse structures, including polysaccharides, natural glycoconjugates, and mono- and oligosaccharides coupled to carrier molecules, can be stably immobilized on a glass chip without chemical modification. Here, we describe a practical protocol for this technology. We hope that anyone who has access to a standard cDNA microarray facility will be able to explore this technology for his or her own research interest. We also provide an example to illustrate that the carbohydrate microarray is also a discovery tool; this is particularly useful for identifying immunologic sugar moieties, including complex carbohydrates of cancer cells and sugar signatures of previously unrecognized microbial pathogens.

A Universal Photochemical Method to Prepare Carbohydrate Sensors Based on Perfluorophenylazide Modified Polydopamine for Study of Carbohydrate-Lectin Interactions by QCM Biosensor.

Project description:A universal photochemical method to prepare carbohydrate sensors based on perfluorophenylazide (PFPA) modified polydopamine (PDA) for the study of carbohydrate-lectin interactions by a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor was developed. The PFPA was immobilized on PDA-coated gold sensors via Schiff base reactions. Upon light irradiation, the underivatized carbohydrates were inserted into the sensor surface, including mannose, galactose, fucose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Carbohydrate sensors were evaluated for the binding to a series of plant lectins. A kinetic study of the interactions between mannose and concanavalin A (Con A), fucose and Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I) were performed. This method can eliminate the tedious modification of carbohydrates, improve the experimental efficiency, and reduce the experimental cost, which is of great significance for the development of QCM biosensors and the study of biomolecular interactions.

Carbohydrate microarrays for screening functional glycans.

Project description:Carbohydrate microarrays have become robust and powerful tools for the rapid analysis of glycan-associated binding events. However, this microarray technology has rarely been applied in studies of glycan-mediated cellular responses. Herein we describe a carbohydrate microarray-based approach for the rapid screening of biologically active glycans that stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through binding to the cell-surface lectin. We employed a microarray assay and a fluorescent ROS probe to identify the functional glycans which enhance ROS production. Cells binding to glycans on the microarrays produced ROS, whose levels were decreased in the presence of a ROS scavenger or a NADPH oxidase inhibitor. The present study leads us to suggest that glycan microarrays are applicable to the simultaneous screening of various glycans whose binding to the cell-surface lectin elicits cellular response.

Preparation and analysis of glycan microarrays.

Project description:Determination of the binding specificity of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), such as lectins, antibodies, and receptors, has traditionally been difficult and laborious. The advent of glycan microarrays has revolutionized the field of glycobiology by allowing simultaneous screening of a GBP for interactions with a large set of glycans in a single format. This unit describes the theory and method for production of two types of glycan microarrays (chemo/enzymatically synthesized and naturally derived), and their application to functional glycomics to explore glycan recognition by GBPs. These procedures are amenable to various types of arrays and a wide range of GBP samples.

Surface biofunctionalization by covalent co-immobilization of oligopeptides.

Project description:Functionalization of implants with multiple bioactivities is desired to obtain surfaces with improved biological and clinical performance. Our objective was developing a simple and reliable method to obtain stable multifunctional coatings incorporating different oligopeptides. We co-immobilized on titanium surface oligopeptides of known cooperative bioactivities with a simple and reliable method. Appropriately designed oligopeptides containing either RGD or PHSRN bioactive sequences were mixed and covalently bonded on CPTES-silanized surfaces. Coatings made of only one of the two investigated peptides and coatings with physisorbed oligopeptides were produced and tested as control groups. We performed thorough characterization of the obtained surfaces after each step of the coating preparation and after mechanically challenging the obtained coatings. Fluorescence labeling of RGD and PHSRN peptides with fluorescence probes of different colors enabled the direct visualization of the co-immobilization of the oligopeptides. We proved that the coatings were mechanically stable. The surfaces with co-immobilized RGD and PHSRN peptides significantly improved osteoblasts response in comparison with control surfaces, which assessed the effectiveness of our coating method to bio-activate the implant surfaces. This same simple method can be used to obtain other multi-functional surfaces by co-immobilizing oligopeptides with different targeted bioactivities--cell recruitment and differentiation, biomineral nucleation, antimicrobial activity--and thus, further improving the clinical performance of titanium implants.

Covalent immobilization of luminescent oxygen indicators reduces cytotoxicity.

Project description:Luminescence-based oxygen sensing is a widely used tool in cell culture applications. In a typical configuration, the luminescent oxygen indicators are embedded in a solid, oxygen-permeable matrix in contact with the culture medium. However, in sensitive cell cultures even minimal leaching of the potentially cytotoxic indicators can become an issue. One way to prevent the leaching is to immobilize the indicators covalently into the supporting matrix. In this paper, we report on a method where platinum(II)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorphenyl)-porphyrin (PtTFPP) oxygen indicators are covalently immobilized into a polymer matrix consisting of polystyrene and poly(pentafluorostyrene). We study how the covalent immobilization influences the sensing material's cytotoxicity to human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived (hiPSC-derived) neurons and cardiomyocytes (CMs) through 7-13 days culturing experiments and various viability analyses. Furthermore, we study the effect of the covalent immobilization on the indicator leaching and the oxygen sensing properties of the material. In addition, we demonstrate the use of the covalently linked oxygen sensing material in real time oxygen tension monitoring in functional hypoxia studies of the hiPSC-derived CMs. The results show that the covalently immobilized indicators substantially reduce indicator leaching and the cytotoxicity of the oxygen sensing material, while the influence on the oxygen sensing properties remains small or nonexistent.

Photogenerated carbohydrate microarrays to study carbohydrate-protein interactions using surface plasmon resonance imaging.

Project description:A photochemical strategy to generate carbohydrate microarrays on flat sensor surfaces, and to study the protein-binding effects of these arrays by surface plasmon resonance imaging is described. The approach was validated using a panel of carbohydrate-binding proteins. The coupling agents, thiol-functionalized perfluorophenyl azides, allow the covalent attachment of underivatized carbohydrates to gold surfaces by a fast photochemical reaction. Carbohydrate microarrays composed of 3,6-di-O-(?-D-mannopyranosyl)-D-mannopyranose (Man3), 2-O-?-D-mannopyranosyl-D-mannopyranose (Man2), D-mannose (Man), D-glucose (Glc), and D-galactose (Gal) were constructed, and the binding studies were carried out in real-time using surface plasmon resonance imaging. Results showed that the immobilized carbohydrate ligands retained their binding affinities with lectins, the rank order of which was consistent with that of the free ligands in solution. The detection limit of Man3, Man2, Man, and Glc with the lectin Concanavalin A was measured to be 0.29 nM, 0.18 nM, 0.61 nM, and 3.1 nM, respectively. In addition, soybean agglutinin and Griffonia simplicifolia lectin II were tested on the array, and the results were consistent with the binding selectivity of these lectins with the carbohydrate ligands.

Covalent immobilization of p-selectin enhances cell rolling.

Project description:Cell rolling is an important physiological and pathological process that is used to recruit specific cells in the bloodstream to a target tissue. This process may be exploited for biomedical applications to capture and separate specific cell types. One of the most commonly studied proteins that regulate cell rolling is P-selectin. By coating surfaces with this protein, biofunctional surfaces that induce cell rolling can be prepared. Although most immobilization methods have relied on physisorption, chemical immobilization has obvious advantages, including longer functional stability and better control over ligand density and orientation. Here we describe chemical methods to immobilize P-selectin covalently on glass substrates. The chemistry was categorized on the basis of the functional groups on modified glass substrates: amine, aldehyde, and epoxy. The prepared surfaces were first tested in a flow chamber by flowing microspheres functionalized with a cell surface carbohydrate (sialyl Lewis(x)) that binds to P-selectin. Adhesion bonds between P-selectin and sialyl Lewis(x) dissociate readily under shear forces, leading to cell rolling. P-selectin immobilized on the epoxy glass surfaces exhibited enhanced long-term stability of the function and better homogeneity as compared to that for surfaces prepared by other methods and physisorbed controls. The microsphere rolling results were confirmed in vitro with isolated human neutrophils. This work is essential for the future development of devices for isolating specific cell types based on cell rolling, which may be useful for hematologic cancers and certain metastatic cancer cells that are responsive to immobilized selectins.

Starch-Mediated Immobilization, Photochemical Reduction, and Gas Sensitivity of Graphene Oxide Films.

Project description:This work unveils the roles played by potato starch (ST) in the immobilization, photochemical reduction, and gas sensitivity of graphene oxide (GO) films. The ST/GO films are assembled layer by layer (LbL) onto quartz substrates by establishing mutual hydrogen bonds that drive a stepwise film growth, with equal amounts of materials being adsorbed in each deposition cycle. Afterward, the films are photochemically reduced with UV irradiation (254 nm), following a first-order kinetics that proceeds much faster when GO is assembled along with ST instead of a nonoxygenated polyelectrolyte, namely, poly(diallyl dimethylammonium) hydrochloride (PDAC). Finally, the gas-sensing performance of ST/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and PDAC/RGO sensors fabricated via LbL atop of gold interdigitated microelectrodes is evaluated at different relative humidity levels and in different concentrations of ammonia, ethanol, and acetone. In comparison to the PDAC/RGO sensor, the ones containing ST are much more sensitive, especially when operating in a high-relative-humidity environment. An array comprising these chemical sensors provides unique electrical fingerprints for each of the investigated analytes and is capable of discriminating and quantifying them in a wide range of concentrations, from 10 to 1000 ppm.
