Reversible pH Responsive Bovine Serum Albumin Hydrogel Sponge Nanolayer.

ABSTRACT: A pH dependent reversible sponge like behavior of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanolayer adsorbed at the gold-saline interface is revealed by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), atomic force microscope (AFM) and contact angle measurements. During the saline rinsing cycles, the BSA layer adsorbs water molecules at pH 7.0 and releases them at pH 4.5. The phenomenon remains constant and reproducible upon multiple rinsing cycles. The BSA layer thickness also increases upon rinsing with saline at pH 7.0 and reverses back to its original thickness at pH 4.5. Varying ionic strength with water further desorbs more water molecules from the BSA layer, which decreases its mass and thickness. However, upon both pH and ionic strength changes, all the BSA molecules remain adsorbed irreversibly at the gold interface and only the sorption of water molecules occurs. The study aims at engineering high efficiency pH-responsive biodiagnostics and drug delivery systems.

Dopamine-Conjugated Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles Containing pH-Responsive Catechol-V(III) Coordination for In Vitro and In Vivo Drug Delivery.

Project description:V(III) instead of commonly used Fe(III) provided a rich tris-catechol-metal coordination at pH 7.4, which is important for slow drug release at physiological pH. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) functionalized with catechol-containing dopamine (D) and cross-linked using tris-catechol-V(III) coordination yielded pH-responsive compact D-BSA NPs (253 nm). However, conversion to bis- and/or mono-catechol-V(III) complexes in an acidic medium resulted in degradation of NPs and rapid release of doxorubicin (DOX). It was shown that D-BSA NPs entered cancerous MCF-7 cells (66%) more efficiently than non-cancerous HEK293T (33%) in 3 h. Also, DOX-loaded NPs reduced cell viability of MCF-7 by 75% and induced apoptosis in a majority of cells after 24 h. Biodegradability and lack of hemolytic activity were shown in vitro, whereas a lack of toxicity was shown in histological sections of zebrafish. Furthermore, 30% of circulating tumor cells in vasculature in 24 h were killed by DOX-loaded NPs shown with the zebrafish CTC xenograft model.

An Investigation of the Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin-Conjugated Silver Nanoparticles and the Hydrogel in Hydrogel Nanocomposites.

Project description:Nanocomposite hydrogels are attracting significant interest due to their potential use in drug delivery systems and tissue scaffolds. Stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposites are of particular interest due to sustained release of therapeutic agents from the hydrogel. However, challenges such as controlled release of therapeutic agents exist because of limited understanding of the interactions between the therapeutic agent and the hydrogel. To investigate the interaction, we synthesize a hydrogel nanocomposite by crosslinking the hydrogel precursors (tetrazine-modified polyethylene glycol and norbornene-modified hyaluronic acid) using click chemistry while bovine serum albumin-capped silver nanoparticles were encapsulated in situ in the matrix. The interaction between the nanoparticles and the hydrogel was studied by a combination of spectroscopic techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that the hydrogel molecule rearranges so that polyethylene glycol is pointing up toward the surface while hyaluronic acid folds to interact with bovine serum albumin of the nanoparticles. Hyaluronic acid, facing inward, may interact with the nanoparticle via hydrogen bonding. The hydrogel nanocomposite showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive/Gram-negative bactericides, supporting time-based nanoparticle release results. Our findings about interactions between the nanoparticles and the hydrogel can be useful in the formulation of next generation of hydrogel nanocomposites.

Natural polyphenol self-assembled pH-responsive nanoparticles loaded into reversible hydrogel to inhibit oral bacterial activity.

Project description:Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases and Polyphenols isolated from Turkish gall play a major role in the treatment of inflammatory diseases for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this work, Turkish Galls effective constituent (TGEC, T) was prepared into nanoparticles (T-NPs) by principle of oxidative self-polymerization. The pH-sensitive T-NPs was encapsulated into thermosensitive type in-situ hydrogel, and 42.29 ± 1.12% of effective constituent from T-NPs were continuously released within 96 h under the periodontitis environment. In addition, the weakly alkaline oral micro-environment of patients with periodontitis is more conducive to the sustained release of effective constituent, which is 10.83% more than that of healthy periodontal environment. The bacteriostatic test showed that T-NPs had stronger antibacterial activity on oral pathogens than that of TGEC. Compared with TGEC, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of T-NPs against P. gingivalis and A. viscosus was reduced by 50% and 25%, respectively. Interestingly, T-NPs induced bacteria lysis by promoting the excessive production of ROS without periodontal tissue damage caused by excessive oxidation reaction. In conclusion, a simple method of preparing microspheres with natural polyphenols was developed, which provides beneficial reference for one-step prepared drug carriers from effective components of natural product, likewise the method offers a green and effective solution to synthesis a new adjuvant therapy drugs for treatment of gingivitis associated with periodontal pockets.

Reversible Dimerization of Human Serum Albumin.

Project description:Pulsed Dipolar Spectroscopy (PDS) methods of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) were used to detect and characterize reversible non-covalent dimers of Human Serum Albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein in human plasma. The spin labels, MTSL and OX063, were attached to Cys-34 and these chemical modifications of Cys-34 did affect the dimerization of HSA, indicating that other post-translational modifications can modulate dimer formation. At physiologically relevant concentrations, HSA does form weak, non-covalent dimers with a well-defined structure. Dimer formation is readily reversible into monomers. Dimerization is very relevant to the role of HSA in the transport, binding, and other physiological processes.

Engineered bovine serum albumin-based nanoparticles with pH-sensitivity for doxorubicin delivery and controlled release.

Project description:In this work, we prepared a stimuli-responsive system for drug delivery and controlled release by engineering the bovine serum albumin (BSA). The doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded BSA nanoparticles (NPs) were conveniently prepared using desolvation method, followed by crosslinking through Schiff base bonds, leading to pH-sensitive DOX-loaded system (DOXs@BSA NPs). The resulted DOXs@BSA NPs showed high drug loading capacity (21.4%), and the particle size was about 130 nm with narrow polydispersity and high negative surface charge (-20.5 mV). The pH-sensitivity of DOXs@BSA NPs was evidenced by the size changes and charge reversal after incubation at different pH values. The DOXs@BSA NPs showed high serum stability which indicated the prolonged circulation time. The in vitro drug release experiment showed that the release of DOX was obviously accelerated by acidity because of disassembly of NPs induced by cleavage of Schiff base bonds. The drug release mechanism was thoroughly studied using a semi-empirical model, further confirming the pH played an important role in drug controlled release process. The results of cytotoxicity assay revealed that DOXs@BSA NPs exhibited much higher toxic effects for tumor cells in comparison to the free DOX control. Collectively, these results demonstrated that DOXs@BSA NPs might be potential application for drug delivery and controlled release in cancer chemotherapy. Moreover, this work also showed that preparation of stimuli-responsive drug delivery system by engineering the commercial biomaterials could be a promising method to develop multi-functional nanomedicine.

Denaturation studies on bovine serum albumin-bile salt system: Bile salt stabilizes bovine serum albumin through hydrophobicity.

Project description:Protein denaturation is under intensive research, since it leads to neurological disorders of severe consequences. Avoiding denaturation and stabilizing the proteins in their native state is of great importance, especially when proteins are used as drug molecules or vaccines. It is preferred to add pharmaceutical excipients in protein formulations to avoid denaturation and thereby stabilize them. The present study aimed at using bile salts (BSs), a group of well-known drug delivery systems, for stabilization of proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was taken as the model protein, whose association with two BSs, namely sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), was studied. Denaturation studies on the pre-formed BSA-BS systems were carried out under chemical and physical denaturation conditions. Urea was used as the chemical denaturant and BSA-BS systems were subjected to various temperature conditions to understand the thermal (physical) denaturation. With the denaturation conditions prescribed here, the data obtained is informative on the association of BSA-BS systems to be hydrophobic and this effect of hydrophobicity plays an important role in stabilizing the serum albumin in its native state under both chemical and thermal denaturation.

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin on silicon dioxide nanoparticles: Impact of pH on nanoparticle-protein interactions.

Project description:Bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles was studied as a function of pH across the range of 2 to 8. Aggregation, surface charge, surface coverage, and protein structure were investigated over this entire pH range. SiO2 nanoparticle aggregation is found to depend upon pH and differs in the presence of adsorbed BSA. For SiO2 nanoparticles truncated with hydroxyl groups, the largest aggregates were observed at pH 3, close to the isoelectric point of SiO2 nanoparticles, whereas for SiO2 nanoparticles with adsorbed BSA, the aggregate size was the greatest at pH 3.7, close to the isoelectric point of the BSA-SiO2 complex. Surface coverage of BSA was also the greatest at the isoelectric point of the BSA-SiO2 complex with a value of ca. 3?±?1?×?1011 molecules cm-2. Furthermore, the secondary protein structure was modified when compared to the solution phase at all pH values, but the most significant differences were seen at pH 7.4 and below. It is concluded that protein-nanoparticle interactions vary with solution pH, which may have implications for nanoparticles in different biological fluids (e.g., blood, stomach, and lungs).

A Smart pH-Responsive Three Components Luminescent Hydrogel.

Project description:In this study, we report a novel three-component luminescent hydrogel, which is composed of amino acid derivatives (N,N'-di valine-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid, NVPD), riboflavin (RF), and melamine (MM). The three-component hydrogel is attributed to multiple hydrogen bonds and the strong π-π stacking interaction between these molecules. Based on the strong hydrogen bonding of the gelator, when the reversible process between the gel and the solution take places it changes the pH of the system from 6.1 to 10.6. In addition, green fluorescence could be the emissive of the hydrogel under 498 nm and the conversion process of the aggregation state repeated reversibly by altering the value of ambient pH. This pH-responsive luminescent gel may display potential for use in nano pH sensors.

Probing Temperature- and pH-Dependent Binding between Quantum Dots and Bovine Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy.

Project description:Luminescent quantum dots (QDs) with unique optical properties have potential applications in bio-imaging. The interaction between QDs and bio-molecules is important to the biological effect of QDs in vivo. In this paper, we have employed fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to probe the temperature- and pH-dependent interactions between CdSe QDs with carboxyl (QDs-COOH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in buffer solutions. The results have shown that microscopic dissociation constant K'D is in the range of (1.5 ± 0.2) × 10-5 to (8.6 ± 0.1) × 10-7 M, the Hill coefficient n is from 0.4 to 2.3, and the protein corona thickness is from 3.0 to 9.4 nm. Variable-temperature measurements have shown both negative values of ∆H and ∆S for BSA adsorption on QDs-COOH, while pH has a profound effect on the adsorption. Additional, FCS measurement QDs-COOH and proteins in whole mice serum and plasma samples has also been conducted. Finally, simulation results have shown four favored QD binding sites in BSA.
