Screening Platform for Cell Contact Guidance Based on Inorganic Biomaterial Micro/nanotopographical Gradients.

ABSTRACT: High-throughput screening (HTS) methods based on topography gradients or arrays have been extensively used to investigate cell-material interactions. However, it is a huge technological challenge to cost efficiently prepare topographical gradients of inorganic biomaterials due to their inherent material properties. Here, we developed a novel strategy translating PDMS-based wrinkled topography gradients with amplitudes from 49 to 2561 nm and wavelengths between 464 and 7121 nm to inorganic biomaterials (SiO2, Ti/TiO2, Cr/CrO3, and Al2O3) which are frequently used clinical materials. Optimal substratum conditions promoted human bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell alignment, elongation, cytoskeleton arrangement, filopodia development as well as cell adhesion in vitro, which depended both on topography and interface material. This study displays a positive correlation between cell alignment and the orientation of cytoskeleton, filopodia, and focal adhesions. This platform vastly minimizes the experimental efforts both for inorganic material interface engineering and cell biological assessments in a facile and effective approach. The practical application of the HTS technology is expected to aid in the acceleration of developments of inorganic clinical biomaterials.

Project description:Biomaterials play an increasing role in clinical applications and regenerative medicine. Modern biomaterials should imitate the function of damaged tissue without triggering an immune response, initiate self-regeneration of the body and gradually degrade after implantation. The immune system is now well recognized to play a major role in influencing the biocompatibility of implanted medical devices. To develop a better understanding of the effects of biomaterials on the immune response, we have developed a highly sensitive novel test system capable of examining changes in the immune system by biomaterial. Here, we evaluate for the first time the immunopeptidome, a highly sensitive system that reflects cancer transformation, virus or drug influences and passes these changes directly to T cells, as a test system to examine the effects of contact with materials. Since monocytes are one of the first immune cells reacting to biomaterials, we have tested the influence of different materials - stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, high-density polyethylene, polyurethane films containing zinc diethyldithiocarbamate, copper, and zinc sulphate - on the monocytic THP-1 cell line. Material-associated peptides were identified after stimulation with all material types examined. The magnitude of induced changes in the immunopeptidome after the stimulation appears comparable to that of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The source proteins of many detected peptides are associated with cytotoxicity, fibrosis, autoimmunity, inflammation and cellular stress. Considering all tested materials, it was found that the LPS-induced cytotoxicity-, inflammation- and cellular stress-associated HLA class I peptides were mainly induced by aluminum and HLA class II peptides mainly by stainless steel. These findings provide some of the first insights into the effects on the immunopeptidome by biomaterials. A more thorough understanding of these effects may enable the design of more biocompatible implant materials using in vitro models in future. This may be achieved through developing a deeper understanding of possible immune responses induced by biomaterials such as fibrosis, inflammation, cytotoxicity, and autoimmune reactions.

Project description:Biomaterials play an increasing role in clinical applications and regenerative medicine. A perfectly designed biomaterial should restore the function of damaged tissue without triggering an undesirable immune response, initiate self-regeneration of the surrounding tissue and gradually degrade after implantation.

To obtain a better understanding of the effects of biomaterials on the immune response, we have developed a highly sensitive novel test system capable of examining changes in the immune system by biomaterial.

The tested materials included stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, high-density polyethylene, polyurethane films containing zinc diethyldithiocarbamate, copper, and zinc sulfate. The incubation with all material types resulted in significantly modulated peptides in the immunopeptidome, which were material-associated.
