Constructing a biofunctionalized 3D-printed gelatin/sodium alginate/chitosan tri-polymer complex scaffold with improvised biological andmechanical properties for bone-tissue engineering

Sodium alginate(SA)/chitosan(CH)polyelectrolyte scaffold is a suitable substrate for tissue-engineering application.The present study deals with further improvement in the tensile strength and biological properties of this type of scaffold to make it a potential template for bone-tissue regeneration.We experimented with adding 0%–15%(volume fraction)gelatin(GE),a protein-based biopolymer known to promote cell adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation.The resulting tri-polymer complex was used as bioink to fabricate SA/CH/GEmatrices by three-dimensional(3D)printing.Morphological studies using scanning electron microscopy revealed the microfibrous porous architecture of all the structures,which had a pore size range of 383–419μm.X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses revealed the amorphous nature of the scaffold and the strong electrostatic interactions among the functional groups of the polymers,thereby forming polyelectrolyte complexes which were found to improve mechanical properties and structural stability.The scaffolds exhibited a desirable degradation rate,controlled swelling,and hydrophilic characteristics which are favorable for bone-tissue engineering.The tensile strength improved from(386±15)to(693±15)kPa due to the increased stiffness of SA/CH scaffolds upon addition of gelatin.The enhanced protein adsorption and in vitro bioactivity(forming an apatite layer)confirmed the ability of the SA/CH/GE scaffold to offer higher cellular adhesion and a bone-like environment to cells during the process of tissue regeneration.In vitro biological evaluation including the MTT assay,confocal microscopy analysis,and alizarin red S assay showed a significant increase in cell attachment,cell viability,and cell proliferation,which further improved biomineralization over the scaffold surface.In addition,SA/CH containing 15%gelatin designated as SA/CH/GE15 showed superior performance to the other fabricated 3D structures,demonstrating its potential for use in bone-tissue engineering.

Synthesis of chitosan oligosaccharide selenium and its antitumor activity

Background:Polysaccharides have various biological activities;the complexation of polysaccharides with trace element ions can produce synergistic effects,improving the original biological activities of sugars and trace elements.Methods:The preparation process of chitosan oligosaccharide selenium(COSSe)was optimized by the response surface method,followed by a detailed analysis of the resultant compound’s characteristics.The anti-cancer activity of COSSe was studied using the human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 as a cell model.Results:The prepared COSSe response surface was well predicted,indicating successful chitosan oligosaccharide binding with selenium.Response surface method analyses identified the optimal synthesis conditions for COSSe:the reaction time of 5.08 h,the reaction temperature of 71.8°C,and mass ratio(Na2SeO3:chitosan oligosaccharide)of 1.02.Under the optimal conditions,the final product,the selenium content,reached 1.302%.The results of cell experiments showed that COSSe significantly inhibited SKOV3 proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.RNA-seq results showed that chitosan oligosaccharide and COSSe significantly modulated the expression of genes’DNA metabolic processes and cell cycle in SKOV3 cells.Gene enrichment analysis showed the inhibition of the cell cycle,and the results of flow cytometry showed that SKOV3 cells increased in the S phase and decreased in the G2/M phase,with a noted suppression in the protein expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 2(CDK2)and cyclin A1(CCNA1).Conclusion:COSSe has a stronger effect than chitosan oligosaccharide,leading to the arrest of the cell cycle in the S phase.Thus,COSSe may be an effective candidate for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Integrative Extraction of Ergosterol, （1→3）-α-D-Glucan and Chitosan from Penicillium chrysogenum Mycelia

Abstract Ergosterol,（1→3）-α-D-glucan and chitosan are important biomaterials. In this research, a process has been developed to integratively extract ergosterol, （1→3）-α-D-glucan, and chitosan from Penicillium chrysongenum mycelium. First the mycelia are pretreated with 0.1mol·L^-1 of NaOH. After recovery by centrifugation the solid portion is made to undergo saponification and deacetylation reactaons by addition of 2mol·L^-1 NaOH and et anol.After reaction, extraction is carried out by addition of petroleum ether, which separates the reaction mixture into two phases. The upper layer of petroleum ether contains extracted ergosterol, and the .bottom layer of NaOH solution contains （1→3）-α-DEglucan; the chitosan is on the mycelia residuum. After isolation, the recovery yield of ergosterol is 0.52% of dry mycelium. That of （1→3）-α-D-glucan is about 8.2%; and chitosan is 5.7% with 86% deacetylation. The compositions have been characterized by 1R, HPLC analyses.

Low-temperature 3D-printed collagen/chitosan scaffolds loaded with exosomes derived from neural stem cells pretreated with insulin growth factor-1 enhance neural regeneration after traumatic brain injury

There are various clinical treatments for traumatic brain injury,including surgery,drug therapy,and rehabilitation therapy;howeve r,the therapeutic effects are limited.Scaffolds combined with exosomes represent a promising but challenging method for improving the repair of traumatic brain injury.In this study,we determined the ability of a novel 3D-printed collagen/chitosan scaffold loaded with exosomes derived from neural stem cells pretreated with insulin-like growth factor-1(3D-CC-INEXOS) to improve traumatic brain injury repair and functional recove ry after traumatic brain injury in rats.Composite scaffolds comprising collagen,chitosan,and exosomes derived from neural stem cells pretreated with insulin-like growth fa ctor-1(INEXOS) continuously released exosomes for 2weeks.Transplantation of 3D-CC-INExos scaffolds significantly improved motor and cognitive functions in a rat traumatic brain injury model,as assessed by the Morris water maze test and modified neurological seve rity scores.In addition,immunofluorescence staining and transmission electron microscopy showed that3D-CC-INExos implantation significantly improved the recove ry of damaged nerve tissue in the injured area.In conclusion,this study suggests that transplanted3D-CC-INExos scaffolds might provide a potential strategy for the treatment of traumatic brain injury and lay a solid foundation for clinical translation.

Alantolactone-loaded chitosan/hyaluronic acid nanoparticles suppress psoriasis by deactivating STAT3 pathway and restricting immune cell recruitment

Psoriasis is a common chronic immune-mediated skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation and aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes and massive infiltration of inflammatory immune cells.Recent studies showed that Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3(STAT3),which plays an important role in cell survival,proliferation,differentiation,angiogenesis,and immune responses,is constitutively activated in epidermal keratinocytes of human psoriatic skin lesions.In addition,STAT3 promotes the differentiation and expansion of T cells and facilitates cytokine production,thereby exacerbating the condition of psoriasis.Alantolactone(ALT)is a sesquiterpene lactone compound that could selectively suppress STAT3 activation,but its effectiveness and application in psoriasis treatment have not been determined.In this study,we developed ALT loaded chitosan/hyaluronic acid nanoparticles(CHALT),and investigated its therapeutic potential for psoriasis therapy.CHALT effectively abrogated the hyperproliferation by inducing ROS-mediated apoptosis with loss of mitochondrialmembrane potential,and also inhibited IL-6-induced STAT3 signaling activation and inflammatory reaction in HaCaT cell line.In an Imiquimod(IMQ)-induced psoriasis model,the topical treatment of psoriasis lesions with CHALT effectively attenuated the STAT3 hyperactivation within keratinocytes and ameliorated the symptoms of psoriasis.In addition,it was found that CHALT restricted the recruitment of immune cells.These results indicated that ALT-based nanoformulation CHALT holds great potential for psoriasis therapy.

Preparation and characterization of complexes of RE^(3+) with furfural modified water-soluble chitosan

Degraded chitosan, with highly water-solubility, was obtained by the oxidation of chitosan with H2O2, and then reacted with furrural. The final product coordinated with the rare earth ions （RE^3＋ = Sm^3＋, Eu^3＋）, which led to the formation of the complexes. The prepared complexes were characterized with Infrared Spectroscopy （IR）, Ultra Violet （UV）, fluorescence, X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, and Thermogravimetric-Differential Scanning Calorimetry （TG-DSC） measurements.

Preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4) Film by in-situ Oxidative Hydrolysis on Chitosan

The Fe3O4 films were prepared by in-situ oxidative hydrolysis on chitosan. The structures and characteristics of the prepared Fe3O4 films were investigated by X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, atom force microscopy （AFM）, vibrating sample magnetometry （VSM） and thermogravimetric-differentia thermal analysis （TG-DTA）. The results show that, （1） the as-synthesized Fe3O4 films are pure Fe3O4 with cubic inverse spinel structure; （2） the network structured film can be obtained at lower temperature, and the compact particle film at higher temperature; （3） the prepared Fe3O4 films are super-paramagnetic, and the saturation magnetization is improved with increasing the reaction temperature, which is 49.03 emu/g at 80℃; （4） the temperature of phase transformation from Fe3O4 to a-Fe2O3 is about 495℃. Besides, the formation mechanism of Fe3O4 film was also proposed.

PI3K/Akt pathway is involved in the activation of RAW 264.7 cells induced by hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan

We previously demonstrated that 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan(HACC)promoted the production of nitric oxide(NO)and proinflammatory cytokines by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK)and Janus kinase(JAK)/STAT pathways in RAW 264.7 cells,indicating good immunomodulatory activity of HACC.In this study,to further investigate the immunomodulatory mechanisms of HACC,we determined the roles of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/Akt,activating protein(AP-1)and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)in HACC-induced activation of RAW 264.7 cells by the western blotting.The results suggest that HACC promoted the phosphorylation of p85 and Akt.Furthermore,c-Jun and p65 were also increased after the treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with HACC,indicating the translocation of NF-κB and AP-1 from cytoplasm to nucleus.In addition,as scanning electron microscopy(SEM)analysis shows,the cell morphology changed after HACC treatment.These findings indicate that HACC activated MAPK,JAK/STAT,and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways dependent on AP-1 and NF-κB activation in RAW 264.7 cells,ultimately leading to the increase of NO and cytokines.

Evaluation of different crosslinking methods in altering the properties of extrusion-printed chitosan-basedmulti-material hydrogel composites

Three-dimensional printing technologies exhibit tremendous potential in the advancing fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to the precise spatial control over depositing the biomaterial.Despite their widespread utilization and numerous advantages,the development of suitable novel biomaterials for extrusion-based 3D printing of scaffolds that support cell attachment,proliferation,and vascularization remains a challenge.Multi-material composite hydrogels present incredible potential in this field.Thus,in this work,a multi-material composite hydrogel with a promising formulation of chitosan/gelatin functionalized with egg white was developed,which provides good printability and shape fidelity.In addition,a series of comparative analyses of different crosslinking agents and processes based on tripolyphosphate(TPP),genipin(GP),and glutaraldehyde(GTA)were investigated and compared to select the ideal crosslinking strategy to enhance the physicochemical and biological properties of the fabricated scaffolds.All of the results indicate that the composite hydrogel and the resulting scaffolds utilizing TPP crosslinking have great potential in tissue engineering,especially for supporting neo-vessel growth into the scaffold and promoting angiogenesis within engineered tissues.

以6-氨基间甲酚和1-萘酚为原料,合成了2-(2-羟基-4-甲基苯偶氮)-1-萘酚(探针NA-M),通过^(1)HNMR、^(13)CNMR、FTIR、HRMS表征了其结构。测试了探针NA-M对Al^(3+)的选择性识别性能及其与Al^(3+)形成的络合物(NA-M+Al^(3+))对F^(-)的选择性识别性能,推测了探针NA-M与Al^(3+)和F^(-)间的作用机制。考察了探针NA-M在实际样品中的应用。结果表明,在pH=7.4、V(甲醇)∶V(N-2-羟乙基哌嗪-N'-2-乙磺酸)=9∶1的溶剂中,探针NA-M与Al^(3+)在590 nm处发生显著的荧光增强作用,并对Al^(3+)的识别表现出高选择性、抗金属离子干扰性和良好的灵敏度(检测限为8.4×10^(-7)mol/L),Al^(3+)与探针NA-M形成了配位比为1∶2的NA-M+Al^(3+);NA-M+Al^(3+)在F^(-)加入后发生显著的荧光猝灭现象,F^(-)可以捕获NA-M+Al^(3+)中的Al^(3+),从而引起荧光变化。NA-M+Al^(3+)对F^(-)的识别也显示出高选择性和良好的抗其他阴离子干扰能力和灵敏度(检测限为9.5×10^(-7)mol/L);在体系pH为5~10时,探针NA-M识别Al^(3+)及F^(-)表现出良好的效果,交替加入Al^(3+)和F^(-)可引起其荧光强度的可逆变化,探针NA-M可以通过荧光信号的“关-开-关”转变,用于接力识别Al^(3+)和F^(-)。在实际样品的检测中,Al^(3+)的回收率在98.8%~107.0%之间,相对标准偏差(RSD)为2.6%~4.3%;F^(-)的回收率为97.8%~101.4%,RSD为1.4%~2.3%。

基于铝离子敏化牡丹提取物(丹皮酚)荧光法定量分析Al^(3+)的研究

饮用水是人体铝元素的主要摄入来源.微量铝离子可对人体健康造成很大危害.WHO(世界卫生组织)规定,饮用水中允许的最高铝离子浓度为200μg/L(7.41μmol/L).因此铝离子的高灵敏检测显得尤为重要.目前常用的铝离子检测方法存在操作麻烦,周期长等缺点,所以构建一种简便、快捷的铝离子检测方法尤为重要.丹皮酚是一种提取自牡丹皮的有机化合物,其与Al^(3+)结合后荧光会数倍增强.基于丹皮酚与铝离子结合产生荧光增强现象,建立了一种检测铝离子的荧光分析方法.此方法只需常温反应5 min,并且检测限为0.5μmol/L(线性范围:0~100μmol/L),构建的检测方法具有快速、低成本、简单、高特异性和高灵敏等优点,有很好的应用前景.

目的 利用新绿原酸(NCGA)与Al^(3+)的相互作用,建立一种基于NCGA的紫外吸收和电化学双信号响应的Al^(3+)分析新方法。方法 基于NCGA与单壁碳纳米管(CNTs)之间的π-π堆积作用,构建了NCGA/CNTs/GC电极。利用差分脉冲(DPV)技术和修饰电极在+0.23 V的氧化电流的下降对Al^(3+)进行定量分析。基于NCGA对Al^(3+)在325 nm处的吸收降低同时伴随365 nm新峰生成的紫外光谱响应,并且在277和340 nm处出现等吸收点,利用365 nm和325nm处的吸光度值之比(A_(365)/A_(325))对Al^(3+)进行定量分析。结果 基于NCGA的分析方法对Al^(3+)的紫外吸收在0.1~100μmol·L^(-1)呈现出良好的线性关系,检测限为0.034μmol·L^(-1);基于NCGA的修饰电极对Al^(3+)的电流响应在0.01~0.1,0.1~10和10~100μmol·L^(-1)呈现良好的线性关系,检测限为0.45 nmol·L^(-1)。生理浓度的其他金属离子和生理活性物质对两种信号测定方法均无明显干扰。在NCGA的紫外分析方法和电化学分析方法下,大鼠血清的加标回收率分别为97.4%~101%(n=3)和98.5%~99.4%(n=3)。结论 本方法具有良好的线性、选择性和准确度,并被成功用于大鼠中Al^(3+)的准确定量。该方法有望应用于Al^(3+)相关的生理和病理事件研究。

基于罗丹明B类荧光探针的设计以及对Al^(3+)检测

印染废水中过高浓度的Al^(3+)不仅会破坏生态环境,而且还将危害人类健康。因此,对印染废水中Al^(3+)浓度的精准检测具有十分重要的研究意义。本文以罗丹明B、乙二胺和4-甲酰基-3-羟基苯甲酸为原料,合成了新型荧光探针RhB-AC,并利用高分辨质谱(HRMS)及核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)对探针RhB-AC的分子结构进行了表征。探针RhB-AC在水中,由于光诱导的电子转移(Photoinduced electron transfer,PET)效应,其荧光发生猝灭。当与Al^(3+)作用后,PET效应被抑制,探针表现出很强的青绿色荧光。另外,该探针对Al^(3+)检测的速度快(3秒以内)、选择性好、灵敏度高(检测限为16 nM)。最后,该探针还能快速、定量检测实际印染废水中的Al^(3+)浓度。

模拟酸雨对赤红壤磷素及Ca^(2+)、Al^(3+)、Fe^(2+)淋失特征的影响

本研究通过室内土柱试验,研究了不同强度和持续时间的模拟酸雨淋溶下赤红壤磷素淋失量及部分阳离子(Ca2+、Al3+、Fe2+)的释放程度和特征。结果表明,经pH 2.0、pH 3.0、pH 4.0、pH 5.0模拟酸雨持续淋溶34 d后,淋溶液pH值变化并不明显(P>0.05),而对Ca2+、Fe2+的溶出有显著的促进作用,Ca2+、Al3+、Fe2+溶出量均随pH值的降低而升高,Al3+和Fe2+淋失量在pH 2.0时均有骤增现象。随淋溶时间的增加,土壤可溶态磷的淋失量表现为先增加后逐渐降低;随着pH值的降低,土壤磷淋失总量也表现为先增加后降低,pH>4.0的酸雨有助于促进土壤磷的释放,pH<4.0时土壤磷的淋失减少。相关分析发现淋溶液中磷淋失总量与Al3+和Fe2+溶出量均呈显著负相关(r1=-0.6531,r2=-0.5107),和Ca2+总溶出量相关关系不显著(r3=-0.1287),表明高强度酸雨降低了土壤磷淋失量,这可能与酸雨导致活性铁、铝的大量释放,增加了磷的活性吸附点位,因而增加了对磷酸根离子配位吸附与固定有关。

大豆根缘细胞对Al^(3+)毒害的响应

【目的】研究大豆根缘细胞发育的生物学特性和对Al3+毒害的响应,为提高大豆的耐铝性提供理论依据。【方法】以浙春3号和辽鲜3号为材料,采用悬空气培法,研究大豆根缘细胞产生的数目、活性随根长的变化及Al3+毒胁迫下根缘细胞形成和释放的难易程度。【结果】大豆根冠周围新形成的根缘细胞呈圆形,随着生长逐渐发育成椭圆形或矩形或长条形。当根长为15～25 mm时,根缘细胞数目达最大值,浙春3号约3 000个,辽鲜3号约3 800个。去根缘细胞的大豆分别用100、200、300、400μmol.L-1 Al3+溶液喷洒根尖,根缘细胞的数目和活性明显低于0μmol.L-1Al3+溶液喷洒的处理,且Al3+浓度越高,根缘细胞数目和活性下降幅度越大。200μmol.L-1 Al3+、300μmol.L-1 Al3+处理4 h,两个大豆品种的PME活性明显升高,400μmol.L-1Al3+处理后PME活性均有明显下降。这说明高浓度Al3+不利于根缘细胞的形成和释放,降低细胞活性和PME活性,辽鲜3号的根缘细胞对Al3+胁迫反应更为敏感。【结论】Al3+毒害时,维持较高根缘细胞的数目、活性及PME活性是抗性品种耐铝毒的重要途径。
