Abstract

In this report we describe two robust procedures for oligonucleotide microarray preparation based on polymeric coatings. The proposed chemical approaches include: 1) a glass functionalisation step with appropriate silanes (gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-APTES or 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane-GOPS), 2) a coating step using polymers (poly-L-Lysine or poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) copolymer) covalently bound to the modified glass and 3) a surface activation step to allow for the attachment of amino-modified oligonucleotides. Results obtained using these chemistries in oligo microarray preparation show: 1) an overall high loading capacity and availability to hybridisation against targets, 2) a good uniformity, 3) resistance to consecutive probing/ stripping cycles, 4) stability to thermal cycles, 5) effectiveness in hybridisation-mediated mutation detection procedures and 6) the possibility to perform enzymatic reactions, such as ligation.

Ion-selective channels in K562 cells: a patch-clamp analysis.

Four types of ion-selective channels were found by the patch-clamp technique in the human erythroleukemia K562 cells. I) in cell-attached configuration at potentials less negative than -40 mV an 8 ps channel was detected. The potential dependence of channel activity suggests that this is the TTX-sensitive Na+ channel. II) A cation-selective channel was observed with equal permeability for Na+ and K+ and a potential-independent single-channel conductance of 19 pS. The channel is activated by intracellular Ca2+ and inhibited by TEA, III) A predominantly anion-selective channel was identified with the selectivity sequence NO3- > J- > Cl- = Br- >> SO4(2-). The single-channel conductance shows outward rectification, and is in symmetrical NaCl solution 19 pS at -60 mV and 54pS at +50 mV. The open- and closed-time distributions suggest one open and at least four closed states. At submicromolar concentrations, the open state is blocked by H2DIDS leading to channel flicker between open and blocked channel; higher concentrations (apparent KI = 6.8 uM) lead to a longer-lasting blocked state. Both components of inhibition are reversible. IV) In addition, an 8 pS, Na(+)- and K(+)- selective channel could be induced by application of palytoxin. For channel activity, the presence of extracellular Na+ is essential. It is assumed that the Na+, K(+)-pump molecule is involved in the channel formation. Similarly, it is discussed whether the anion-selective channel represents a pore conformation of an electrically silent anion exchanger.

Affinity adhesion of carbohydrate particles and yeast cells to boronate-containing polymer brushes grafted onto siliceous supports.

Cross-linked agarose particles (Sepharose CL-6B) and baker's yeast cells were found to adhere to siliceous supports end-grafted with boronate-containing copolymers (BCCs) of N,N-dimethylacrylamide at pH> or =7.5, due to boronate interactions with surface carbohydrates of the particles and the cells. These interactions were registered both on macroscopic and on molecular levels: the BCCs spontaneously adsorbed on the agarose gel at pH> or =7.5, with adsorption increasing with pH. Agarose particles and yeast cells stained with Procion Red HE-3B formed stable, monolayer-like structures at pH 8.0, whereas at pH 7.0-7.8 the structures on the copolymer-grafted supports were less stable and more random. At pH 9.0, 50 % saturation of the surface with adhering cells was attained in 2 min. Stained cells formed denser and more stable layers on the copolymer-grafted supports than they did on supports modified with self-assembled organosilane layers derivatized with low-molecular-weight boronate, presumably due to a higher reactivity of the grafted BCCs. Quantitative detachment of adhered particles and cells could be achieved by addition of 20 mM fructose--a strong competitor for binding to boronates--at pH 7.0-9.0. Regeneration of the grafted supports allowed several sequential adhesion and detachment cycles with stained yeast cells. Affinity adhesion of micron-sized carbohydrate particles to boronate-containing polymer brushes fixed on solid supports is discussed as a possible model system suggesting a new approach to isolation and separation of living cells.

Encapsulation efficiency and controlled release characteristics of crosslinked polyacrylamide particles.

Polyacrylamide (pAAm) particles crosslinked with N,N-methylenebis-acrylamide/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (NNMBA/EGDMA) have been prepared in water-methanol medium by the dispersion polymerization using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), PVP as a steric stabilizer. 5-fluorouracil an anticancer drug, has been loaded in situ into the crosslinked pAAm particles. Plain as well as drug loaded microparticles have been characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction studies (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). DSC and XRD studies have indicated a molecular level dispersion of the drug in pAAm particles during in situ loading and SEM pictures have shown the formation of spherical and oval-shaped particles. In vitro release of 5-fluorouracil from the crosslinked pAAm particles has been carried out in 7.4 pH buffer medium. Both encapsulation efficiency and release patterns are found to depend on the nature of the crosslinking agent, amount of crosslinking agent used and the amount of drug loaded. In vitro release studies indicated the controlled release of 5-fluorouracil up to 12 h.
