Bionic biligand single chain nanogel Regulating Stem cell behavior and differentiation

In the organism, the fate of cell behavior and surface receptors with extracellular matrix cells with a bioactive ligand interactions have very close contact. Identifying a ligand such cells can induce cell adhesion, regulation of cell further dynamic perception of signals in the extracellular matrix. Extracellular matrices most widely used for adjusting the RGD peptide ligand cell adhesion behavior, can be dynamically combined with integrins on the cell membrane, activation of intracellular pathways classical cell, achieve the regulation of cell behavior and differentiation. Further, TF Prof. side and have been reported recently discovered A novel short peptide Foxy5, can simulate Wnt5a enhance human mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts (Li et al., .. Science Advances 2019; 5: eaaw3896). Through careful study, we have demonstrated that human bone marrow can be enhanced Foxy5 in mesenchymal stem cells by non-classical mechanics cell transduction pathways and to induce osteogenic differentiation. In this study, the two kinds of modification of the same regulatory ligands bionic single chain nano paste by a conformational change in the dynamic regulation of a single-stranded nano paste, further evidence of non-activation of the classical pathway can be further reacted with cells conventional activated cellular pathways combined achieved in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and the dynamic behavior and coordinately regulated. This material biomimetic design method based on single-stranded nanogels, the future expected to be applied more different ligand system to study the behavior of the cells under the action more ligands. The study recently Biomimetic Presentation of Ligands via Cryptic Single-Chain Nanogels for Synergistic Regulation of Stem Cells was published in ACS Nano (https://doi.org/10.1021/ acsnano.9b08564). .

1 biomimetic single chain Nanogel design and preparation:

First, the researchers based on pre-controllable reversible addition – fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RFAT) and the mechanism of the process, single-chain successfully nanogels having two biological ligand was prepared. And by copolymerizing a reactive ligand in a folded single strand gel implementation hiding its temporary. This ligand can be hidden by an external stimulus selectively expressed at a particular time, so as to realize multi-ligand synergistically with the regulation of stem cell behavior and differentiation.

2. Bionic single-stranded stem cells Nanogel regulation and differentiation behavior: single chain nanostructures

having hidden ligand structure ensures double ligand limited to a short distance variation can be more accurately and efficiently applied to a single recipient cell. In order to study a variety of ligands and the expression of stem cell regulation efficiency, researchers first cells were cultured in a modified single strand glass plate bionic Nanogel, stimulates a material bis ligand coordinately expressed at a particular time, by observing the expression of stem cell morphology and differentiation, bionic confirmed by single strand nanogel multi-ligand synergistically efficient regulation and differentiation of stem cell lines.

This study reported kinematic chain Nanogel unfolded natural cells preliminary simulation of multi-stage stimulation of extracellular matrix structure for the study of cell-extracellular matrix interaction mechanism provides a more flexible platform. The platform is expected to be applied to future research on the regulation of more multi-ligand cancer cells, immune cells express a more favorable sophisticated tool for biomedical research and cell signal mechanism and application of workers.
