The functionalization of matrices with “caged” functional groups and their subsequent selective uncaging is a promising approach for generating patterns of bioactive molecules to guide cell growth or recreate in vivo microarchitectures. To date, this has been limited to caged carboxylic acids, amines and thiols, functional groups found within biological systems. We present a bifunctional caged carbonyl linker as an alternative approach for the chemoselective functionalization of biomaterials. This linker was readily coupled to collagen, employed as a model biomaterial, and underwent rapid uncaging in aqueous media upon irradiation with ultraviolet light to yield free carbonyl groups. Modified surfaces proved to be non-adhesive to cells until the chemoselective reintroduction of adhesion following incubation of uncaged carbonyls with gelatin hydrazide, with native gelatin failing to elicit a cellular response.
使用“笼状”功能团对基质进行功能化,并随后选择性地去笼是一种有前景的方法,用于生成生物活性分子的模式,以引导细胞生长或重现体内微结构。到目前为止,这种方法仅限于笼状羧酸、胺和硫醇,这些功能团在生物系统中存在。我们提出了一种双功能笼状羰基连结剂,作为生物材料化学选择性功能化的替代方法。该连结剂可以轻松与胶原蛋白结合,胶原蛋白被用作模型生物材料,并在紫外光照射下迅速去笼,在水介质中释放出游离羰基。经过修饰的表面对细胞显示出非粘附性,直到去笼羰基与明胶肼孵育后选择性重新引入了粘附,而原生明胶未能引起细胞反应。
