Spontaneous Biomacromolecule Absorption and Long-Term Release by Graphene Oxide.

ABSTRACT: Biomacromolecule loading is the popular research in the biomedical field. To control the loading amount and releasing profile, various materials and fabrication techniques were developed. In this study, layer-by-layer assembly of multilayer films between collagen (Col) and graphene oxide (GO) was used to control the release of the loading molecule. By mixing GO into the system, ovalbumin (OVA) can be spontaneously adsorbed onto the GO sheet (denoted as GO/OVA) via the hydrophobic interaction. Two kinds of multilayer films (Col/GO/OVA and Col/GO/OVA) were fabricated. The thickness growth curve, quantitative of each layer adsorption, film morphology, stability, cell viability, and OVA release from multilayer films were investigated. The result has shown excellent film stability, macromolecule loading, and sustained release because of GO ability.

Spontaneous transmitter release recruits postsynaptic mechanisms of long-term and intermediate-term facilitation in Aplysia.

Project description:Whereas short-term (minutes) facilitation at Aplysia sensory-motor neuron synapses is presynaptic, long-term (days) facilitation involves synaptic growth, which requires both presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms. How are the postsynaptic mechanisms recruited, and when does that process begin? We have been investigating the possible role of spontaneous transmitter release from the presynaptic neuron. In the previous paper, we found that spontaneous release is critical for the induction of long-term facilitation, and this process begins during an intermediate-term stage of facilitation that is the first stage to involve postsynaptic as well as presynaptic mechanisms. We now report that increased spontaneous release during the short-term stage acts as an orthograde signal to recruit postsynaptic mechanisms of intermediate-term facilitation including increased IP3, Ca(2+), and membrane insertion and recruitment of clusters of AMPA-like receptors, which may be first steps in synaptic growth during long-term facilitation. These results suggest that the different stages of facilitation involve a cascade of pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms, which is initiated by spontaneous release and may culminate in synaptic growth.

Graphene oxide enabled long-term enzymatic transesterification in an anhydrous gas flux.

Project description:Gas-phase enzymatic catalysis has been long pursued but not yet utilized in industrial processes due to many limitations. Herein, we report a hydroxyl-rich graphene oxide (GO) aerogel that can preserve the enzymatic activity and stability in an anhydrous gas flow by providing a water-like microenvironment. Lipase immobilized in the GO aerogel exhibits a 5 to 10-fold increase in apparent activity than the lyophilized lipase powder in transesterification of geraniol and vinyl acetate in the gas phase and maintains the initial activity for more than 500?h. The solid-state circular dichroism measurement confirms that the lipase keeps its native conformation in the aerogel, and the thermogravimetric analysis shows that water molecules essential for the lipase activity can be replaced by the hydroxyl groups at the GO surface. The versatility of this method is demonstrated for two other lipases with different structures, promising unprecedented applications of enzyme-GO aerogels to gas-phase enzymatic catalysis.

Effect of long-term ageing on graphene oxide: structure and thermal decomposition.

Project description:After long-term ageing, the structure of graphene oxide prepared by the modified Hummers method changed. Because of the desorption of oxygen-containing functional groups, the C/O ratio of graphene oxide increased from 1.96 to 2.76. However, the average interlayer distance decreased from 0.660 to 0.567 nm. The content of -CH- and -CH2- decreased; however, the type of oxygen-containing functional groups did not change. Moreover, I D/I G increased from 0.87 to 0.92, indicating that the defect density decreased because of desorbing oxygen functional groups after ageing. When the temperature exceeded 60°C, CO2 produced by decomposing graphene oxide was detected. The thermal decomposition changed after ageing. The decomposition peak temperature decreased from 216°C to 195°C. The CO2 amount produced remained almost unchanged; however, the amount of CO, SO2 and H2O decreased. After ageing, the apparent activation energy of graphene oxide decreased from 150 to 134 kJ mol-1.

Spontaneous transmitter release is critical for the induction of long-term and intermediate-term facilitation in Aplysia.

Project description:Long-term plasticity can differ from short-term in recruiting the growth of new synaptic connections, a process that requires the participation of both the presynaptic and postsynaptic components of the synapse. How does information about synaptic plasticity spread from its site of origin to recruit the other component? The answer to this question is not known in most systems. We have investigated the possible role of spontaneous transmitter release as such a transsynaptic signal. Until recently, relatively little has been known about the functions of spontaneous release. In this paper, we report that spontaneous release is critical for the induction of a learning-related form of synaptic plasticity, long-term facilitation in Aplysia. In addition, we have found that this signaling is engaged quite early, during an intermediate-term stage that is the first stage to involve postsynaptic as well as presynaptic molecular mechanisms. In a companion paper, we show that spontaneous release from the presynaptic neuron acts as an orthograde signal to recruit the postsynaptic mechanisms of intermediate-term facilitation and initiates a cascade that can culminate in synaptic growth with additional stimulation during long-term facilitation. Spontaneous release could make a similar contribution to learning-related synaptic plasticity in mammals.

Next-generation sequencing reveals differential responses to acute versus long-term exposures to graphene oxide in human lung BEAS-2B cells

Project description:Numerous studies have addressed the biological impact of graphene-based materials including graphene oxide (GO), yet few have focused on long-term effects. Here, we utilized RNA-sequencing to unearth responses of human lung cells to GO. To this end, the BEAS-2B cell line derived from normal human bronchial epithelium was subjected to repeated, low-dose exposures of GO (1 µg/mL or 5 µg/mL) for 28 days, or to the equivalent, cumulative amount of GO for 48 h. Then, samples were analyzed by using the NovaSeq™ 6000 sequencing system followed by pathway analysis and gene ontology enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes. Significant differences were seen between the low-dose, long-term exposures and the high-dose, short-term exposures. Hence, exposure to GO for 48 h resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction. In contrast, exposure to GO for 28 days was characterized by engagement of apoptosis pathways with downregulation of genes belonging to the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family. Validation experiments confirmed that long-term exposure to GO affected the apoptosis threshold in lung cells, accompanied by a loss of IAPs. These studies have revealed the sensitivity of RNA-sequencing approaches and showed that acute exposure to GO is not a good predictor of the long-term effects of GO.

X-ray Absorption Study of Graphene Oxide and Transition Metal Oxide Nanocomposites.

Project description:The surface properties of the electrode materials play a crucial role in determining the performance and efficiency of energy storage devices. Graphene oxide and nanostructures of 3d transition metal oxides were synthesized for construction of electrodes in supercapacitors, and the electronic structure and oxidation states were probed using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure. Understanding the chemistry of graphene oxide would provide valuable insight into its reactivity and properties as the graphene oxide transformation to reduced-graphene oxide is a key step in the synthesis of the electrode materials. Polarized behavior of the synchrotron X-rays and the angular dependency of the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structures (NEXAFS) have been utilized to study the orientation of the σ and π bonds of the graphene oxide and graphene oxide-metal oxide nanocomposites. The core-level transitions of individual metal oxides and that of the graphene oxide nanocomposite showed that the interaction of graphene oxide with the metal oxide nanostructures has not altered the electronic structure of either of them. As the restoration of the π network is important for good electrical conductivity, the C K edge NEXAFS spectra of reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites confirms the same through increased intensity of the sp(2)-derived unoccupied states π* band. A pronounced angular dependency of the reduced sample and the formation of excitonic peaks confirmed the formation of extended conjugated network.

Highly sensitive transient absorption imaging of graphene and graphene oxide in living cells and circulating blood.

Project description:We report a transient absorption (TA) imaging method for fast visualization and quantitative layer analysis of graphene and GO. Forward and backward imaging of graphene on various substrates under ambient condition was imaged with a speed of 2 μs per pixel. The TA intensity linearly increased with the layer number of graphene. Real-time TA imaging of GO in vitro with capability of quantitative analysis of intracellular concentration and ex vivo in circulating blood were demonstrated. These results suggest that TA microscopy is a valid tool for the study of graphene based materials.

Graphene oxide-ferrite hybrid framework as enhanced broadband absorption in gigahertz frequencies.

Project description:The present investigation is focused on the in-situ synthesis of Graphene oxide (GO)-ferrite nanoparticle hybrid framework by gel-combustion method followed by fabrication of homogeneous, structurally stable thin (~100-120 ?m) hybrid-polyurethane coating on a metallic aluminum substrate and its application on the properties of broadband absorption over the microwave frequency region. Microstructure studies of hybrid materials illustrated that small sized ferrite nanoparticles (~17?nm) are grafted on and through the graphene layers, which forms a homogeneous coating thereby. The hybrid-nanocomposite coating demonstrated superior broadband absorption properties with absorptivity higher than 90% throughout a bandwidth of ~6?GHz, and moreover, it was found that with increased loading of GO in the nanocomposite, the bandwidth range of absorption frequency increases with enhanced absorptivity. The real part and imaginary part of the surface impedance values of the coating was obtained as 377 ? and 0 ?, respectively, which imply that the free-space impedance of the hybrid-nanocomposite coating is matching correctly. The nanocomposite coating showed ultra-high absorptivity over the frequency band of 8-12?GHz, which has numerous practical applications as radar absorbing materials (RAM), stealth technology, electromagnetic shielding, and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) management in onboard spacecraft and many more.

Reduced graphene oxide enwrapped phosphors for long-term thermally stable phosphor converted white light emitting diodes.

Project description:The long-term instability of the presently available best commercial phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs) is the most serious obstacle for the realization of low-cost and energy-saving lighting applications. Emission from pcLEDs starts to degrade after approximately 200?h of operation because of thermal degradation of the phosphors. We propose a new strategy to overcome this thermal degradation problem of phosphors by wrapping the phosphor particles with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Through the rGO wrapping, we have succeeded in controlling the thermal degradation of phosphors and improving the stability of fabricated pcLEDs. We have fabricated pcLEDs with long-term stability that maintain nearly 98% of their initial luminescence emission intensity even after 800?h of continuous operation at 85?°C and 85% relative humidity. The pcLEDs fabricated using SrBaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor particles wrapped with reduced graphene oxide are thermally stable because of enhanced heat dissipation that prevents the ionization of Eu2+ to Eu3+. We believe that this technique can be applied to other rare-earth doped phosphors for the realization of highly efficient and stable white LEDs.

Short-term inhalation study of graphene oxide nanoplates.

Project description:Graphene oxides possess unique physicochemical properties with important potential applications in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medicine. However, the toxicity following inhalation exposure to graphene oxide has not yet been clarified. Therefore, this study conducted a short-term graphene oxide inhalation toxicity analysis using a nose-only inhalation exposure system and male Sprague-Dawley rats. A total of four groups (15 rats per group) were exposed: (1) control (fresh air), (2) low concentration (0.76 ± 0.16 mg/m3), (3) moderate concentration (2.60 ± 0.19 mg/m3), and (4) high concentration (9.78 ± 0.29 mg/m3). The rats were exposed to graphene oxide for 6 h/day for 5 days, followed by recovery for 1, 3, and 21 days. No significant body or organ weight changes were noted after the short-term exposure or during the recovery period. Similarly, no significant systemic effects of toxicological importance were noted in the hematological assays, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) inflammatory markers, BAL fluid cytokines, or blood biochemical assays following the graphene oxide exposure or during the post-exposure observation period. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in the BAL cell differentials, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, or polymorphonuclear cells. Graphene oxide-ingested alveolar macrophages as a spontaneous clearance reaction were observed in the lungs of all the concentration groups from post 1 day to post 21 days. Histopathological examination of the liver and kidneys did not reveal any significant test-article-relevant histopathological lesions. Importantly, similar to previously reported graphene inhalation data, this short-term nose-only inhalation study found only minimal or unnoticeable graphene oxide toxicity in the lungs and other organs.
