The Role of Syndecan-1 in Arterial Mechanotransduction.

Creator:: Steyer, Benjamin G.
Abstract:: Hemodynamic forces regulate vascular homeostasis and arterial structure through mechanical stimuli by a process called mechanotransduction. Cellular response to mechanical forces involves coordination between cell surface receptors and intracellular signaling pathways. While previous work has focused on the role of integrin receptors in mechanotransduction, little is known about the role...

Synthesis and function of bioactive, block copolymer surfactant constructs as relevant to the preparation of anticoagulant and antibacterial medical implant surfaces.

Creator:: Joshi, Pranav R.
Abstract:: Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...

Nisin adsorption to PEO-PPO-PEO tri-block copolymer layers and its resistance to elution by fibrinogen

Creator:: Ryder, Matthew P.
Abstract:: While hydrophobic surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] (PEO-PPO-PEO) surfactant Pluronic® F108 are highly resistant to plasma protein adsorption, the antimicrobial peptide nisin has been observed to adsorb in multilayer quantities at such surfaces, and the PEO chains themselves suggested to inhibit nisin exchange by blood proteins. But...

Characterization and application of PEO-containing triblock copolymer surfactants

Creator:: Snider, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The action of pendant, polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers as nonfouling coatings for biomedical materials is well understood. However progress toward clinical application of stable, high density PEO coatings has historically been impeded by the lack of cost effective, noninvasive methods for their preparation. Triblock polymers featuring a hydrophobic, polypropylene...

Retention of protein repulsive character and antimicrobial activity of PEO brush layers following nisin entrapment

Creator:: Auxier, Julie A.
Abstract:: Nisin, an amphiphilic, antimicrobial peptide, has been shown to integrate into the hydrophobic inner region of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brush layers; however, the presence of integrated nisin may compromise the protein repulsive character of the PEO layer. In particular, the introduction of fibrinogen to nisin-loaded brush layers has been observed...

The influence of surface functional groups on β-lactoglobulin adsorption equilibrium

Creator:: Al-Makhlafi, Hamood K.
Abstract:: Interactions between proteins and contact surfaces can have important implications in the food industry. Such interactions contribute to the course of fouling of membrane surfaces and they appear to mediate bacterial and spore adhesion to some degree as well. In addition to protein and solution properties, interfacial behavior is strongly...

Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and adsorption time effects

Creator:: Lee, Hyo Jin
Abstract:: Heparin was modified with adipic diliydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica. Contact angle measurements were made to determine changes in surface at various stages of the derivatization. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the elemental composition of the surface at each step of immobilizing heparin as well and...
