We report a molecularly controlled interfacial chemoselective methodology to immobilize ligands and cells in patterns and gradients to self-assembled monolayers on gold. This strategy is based on reacting soluble ketone or aldehyde tethered ligands to surface-bound oxyamine alkeanethiols to generate a covalent oxime linkage to the surface. We characterize the kinetic behavior of the reaction on the surface with ferrocenecarboxaldehyde (FcCHO) as a model ligand. The precise extent of immobilization and therefore surface density of FcCHO on the SAM is monitored and determined by cyclic voltammetry, which shows a peudo-first-order rate constant of 0.13 min-1. In order to generate complex surface patterns and gradients of ligands on the surface, we photoprotected the oxyamine group with nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC). We show that ultraviolet light irradiation through a patterned microfiche film reveals the oxyamine group and we characterize the rate of deprotection by immobilization of ketone containing redox active groups. Finally, we extend this strategy to show biospecific cell attachement of fibroblast cells by immobilizing ketone-GRGDS peptides in patterns. The interfacial oxime reaction is chemoselective and stable at physiological conditions (pH 7.0, 37°C) and may potentially be used to install ligands on the surface in the presence of attached cells to modulate the cell microenvironment to generate dynamic surfaces for monitoring changes in cell behavior in real time.

Biomaterials with graded functionality have various applications in cell and tissue engineering. In this study, by controlling oxidative polymerization of dopamine, we demonstrated universal techniques for generating chemical gradients on various materials with adaptability for secondary molecule immobilization. Diffusion-controlled oxygen supply was successfully exploited for coating of polydopamine (PD) in a gradient manner on different materials, regardless of their surface chemistry, which resulted in gradient in hydrophilicity and surface roughness. The PD gradient controlled graded adhesion and spreading of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and endothelial cells. Furthermore, the PD gradient on these surfaces served as a template to allow for graded immobilization of different secondary biomolecules such as cell adhesive arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptides and siRNA lipidoid nanoparticles (sLNP) complex, for site-specific adhesion of human mesenchymal stem cells, and ...
Bioactivation of Metal Oxide Surfaces. 1. Surface Characterization and Cell Response
Langmuir, 1999
Silicon and titanium oxide surfaces (SiO2/Si and TiO2/Ti) were covalently modified with bioactive molecules (e.g., peptides) in a simple three-step procedure. Bioactive surfaces were synthesized by first immobilizing N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (EDS) to either polished quartz disks, polished silicon wafers, or sputter-deposited titanium films. Subsequently, a maleimide-activated surface amenable to tethering molecules with a free thiol (e.g., cysteine) was created by coupling sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(Nmaleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC) to the terminal amine on EDS. In particular, Cys-Gly-Gly-Asn-Gly-Glu-Pro-Arg-Gly-Asp-Thr-Tyr-Arg-Ala-Tyr (-RGD-) and Cys-Gly-Gly-Phe-His-Arg-Arg-Ile-Lys-Ala (-FHRRIKA-) peptides with terminal cysteine residues were immobilized on maleimideactivated oxides. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and spectroscopic ellipsometry were used to assess the chemistry, thickness, and surface density of the grafted layers. EDS deposited from anhydrous methanol produced reaction site-limited monolayers (∼0.28 nmol/cm 2). Coupling of the sulfo-SMCC crosslinker (∼0.03 nmol/cm 2) and peptides (∼0.004 nmol/cm 2) resulted in an order of magnitude drop in surface density for each stage of the reaction scheme. Peptide-modified surfaces with densities varying over 2 orders (0.01-4 pmol/cm 2) of magnitude were synthesized to study the effect of the peptides on mammalian cell function. The adhesion and spreading of cells derived from mammalian bone, in contact with the peptide-modified surfaces, was dependent on the specific peptide sequence grafted in a concentrationdependent manner. The grafting scheme presented has generality in coupling thiol-specific molecules to silicon or titanium surfaces.
Polymers
To form modern materials with biomimic surfaces, the novel pathway for surface functionalization with specific ligands of well-known and widely used polyester-based rigid media was developed and optimized. Two types of material bases, namely, poly(lactic acid) and poly(ε-caprolactone), as well as two types of material design, e.g., supermacroporous matrices and nanoparticles (NPs), were modified via covalent attachment of preliminary oxidized polyvinylsaccharide poly(2-deoxy-N-methacryloylamido-d-glucose) (PMAG). This polymer, being highly biocompatible and bioinspired, was used to enhance hydrophilicity of the polymer surface and to provide the elevated concentration of reactive groups required for covalent binding of bioligands of choice. The specialties of the interaction of PMAG and its preliminary formed bioconjugates with a chemically activated polyester surface were studied and thoroughly discussed. The supermacroporous materials modified with cell adhesion motifs and Arg-Gly...

The recent discovery and characterization of silicatein, a mineralsynthesizing enzyme that assembles to form the filamentous organic core of the glassy skeletal elements (spicules) of a marine sponge, has led to the development of new low-temperature synthetic routes to metastable semiconducting metal oxides. These protein filaments were shown in vitro to catalyze the hydrolysis and structurally direct the polycondensation of metal oxides at neutral pH and low temperature. Based on the confirmation of the catalytic mechanism and the essential participation of specific serine and histidine residues (presenting a nucleophilic hydroxyl and a nucleophilicity-enhancing hydrogen-bonding imidazole nitrogen) in silicatein's catalytic active site, we therefore sought to develop a synthetic mimic that provides both catalysis and the surface determinants necessary to template and structurally direct heterogeneous nucleation through condensation. Using lithographically patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) stamps, bifunctional self-assembled monolayer surfaces containing the essential catalytic and templating elements were fabricated by using alkane thiols microcontact-printed on gold substrates. The interface between chemically distinct self-assembled monolayer domains provided the necessary juxtaposition of nucleophilic (hydroxyl) and hydrogen-bonding (imidazole) agents to catalyze the hydrolysis of a gallium oxide precursor and template the condensed product to form gallium oxohydroxide (GaOOH) and the defect spinel, gamma-gallium oxide (␥-Ga2O3). Using this approach, the production of patterned substrates for catalytic synthesis and templating of semiconductors for device applications can be envisioned.

A series of multivalent dendrons containing a bioactive osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) domain and surface-binding catechol domains were obtained through solid phase synthesis, and their binding affinity to hydroxyapatite, TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 and gold was characterized using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-d). Using the distinct difference in binding affinity of the bioconjugate to the metal oxides, TiO 2-coated glass slides were selectively patterned with bioactive peptides. Cell culture studies demonstrated the bioavailability of the OGP and that OGP remained on the surface for at least 2 weeks under in vitro cell culture conditions. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcein (OCN) markers were upregulated 3-fold and 60-fold, respectively, relative to controls at 21 days. Similarly, 3-fold more calcium was deposited using the OGP tethered dendron compared to TiO 2. These catechol-bearing dendrons provide a fast and efficient method to functionalize a wide range of inorganic materials with bioactive peptides and have the potential to be used in coating orthopaedic implants and fixation devices.
