Preparation and characterization of DNA films induced by UV irradiation.

Large amounts of DNA-enriched materials, such as salmon milts and shellfish gonads, are discarded as industrial waste. We have been able to convert the discarded DNA to a useful material by preparing novel DNA films by UV irradiation. When DNA films were irradiated with UV light, the molecular weight of DNA was greatly increased. The reaction was inhibited by addition of the radical scavenger galvinoxyl suggesting that the DNA polymerization with UV irradiation proceeded by a radical reaction. Although this UV-irradiated DNA film was water-insoluble and resistant to hydrolysis by nuclease, the structure of the DNA film in water was similar to non-irradiated DNA and maintained B-form structure. In addition, the UV-irradiated DNA film could effectively accumulate and condense harmful DNA-intercalating compounds, such as ethidium bromide and acridine orange, from diluted aqueous solutions. The binding constant and exclusion number of ethidium bromide for UV-irradiated DNA were determined to be 6.8 +/- 0.3 x 10(4) M(-1) and 1.6 +/- 0.2, respectively; these values are consisted with reported results for non-irradiated DNA. The UV-irradiated DNA films have potential uses as a biomaterial filter for the removal of harmful DNA intercalating compounds.

Structure and electrochemistry of self-organized fullerene-lipid bilayer films.

The unique properties of C(60)-bearing artificial lipids with three C(16) (lipid 1), C(14) (lipid 2), or C(12) (lipid 3) alkyl chains have been characterized by a variety of techniques, including (13)C NMR, UV/Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, and electrochemistry. The (13)C NMR and UV/Vis spectra show that the lipids 1-3 have a closed aziridine structure at a 6/6-ring junction of C(60). The DSC data reveal that cast films of 1 exhibit two endothermic peaks at temperature ranges of 35-40 degrees C (main transition) and 47-49 degrees C (subtransition) in air, water, and 0.5 M aqueous tetraethylammonium chloride solution, while cast films of 2 and 3 each display one endothermic peak at 50-57 degrees C. The results of temperature-dependent FT-IR and UV/Vis studies of cast films of 1-3, together with the above data, reveal that the main peak in the DSC thermogram of a film of 1 can be attributed to a typical phase transition as seen in lipid bilayer membranes, while the sub-endothermic peak seen with 1 and the peaks for 2 and 3 stem from a change in the orientation of the C(60) moieties. X-ray diffraction patterns of each of the cast films of 1-3 show a diffraction peak corresponding to the (001) plane, suggesting the formation of molecular bilayer membrane structures. Cyclic voltammograms and Osteryoung square-wave voltammograms obtained from cast films of 1-3 on basal plane pyrolytic graphite (BPG) electrodes show strong temperature dependences. Finally, the thermodynamics of the binding of nine different alkylammonium ions and two alkylphosphonium ions to the electrogenerated radical monoanions and dianions of 1-3 cast on electrodes is described.

IR spectroscopic studies of major cellular components. III. Hydration of protein, nucleic acid, and phospholipid films.

The IR absorption spectra of protein, DNA, RNA, and phospholipid films as a function of the water content are reported. We find that the hydration of protein films affects the peak intensity of amide I and amide II bands and the shape of the amide III band. For nucleic acids, the symmetric (nu(S) PO(2) (-)) and antisymmetric (nu(AS) PO(2) (-)) stretching vibrations of the phosphate linkage are the most affected by hydration, because both intensity changes and frequency shifts are observed. The spectra of phospholipid films are also sensitive to hydration, and they exhibit changes in the peak intensities and frequencies of both nu(S) PO(2) (-) and nu(AS) PO(2) (-) vibrations. We interpret the spectral differences between water saturated and dried films both in terms of structural changes and the change in the local dielectric in the vicinity of the polar and solvent exposed groups. In addition, we observe that the most significant change in the absorption intensity, frequency, and shape of the water sensitive vibrations occurs at high hydration levels. The principal component analysis of hydration results and the kinetics of water removal from sample films are also discussed. In addition, protein spectra acquired using film and KBr pellet sampling techniques are compared.

Secondary structure of proteins associated in thin films.

The solid state secondary structure of myoglobin, RNase A, concanavalin A (Con A), poly(L-lysine), and two linear heterooligomeric peptides were examined by both far-uv CD spectroscopy1 and by ir spectroscopy. The proteins associated from water solution on glass and mica surfaces into noncrystalline, amorphous films, as judged by transmission electron microscopy of carbon-platinum replicas of surface and cross-fractured layer. The association into the solid state induced insignificant changes in the amide CD spectra of all alpha-helical myoglobin, decreased the molar ellipticity of the alpha/beta RNase A, and increased the molar ellipticity of all-beta Con A with no change in the positions of the bands' maxima. High-temperature exposure of the films induced permanent changes in the conformation of all proteins, resulting in less alpha-helix and more beta-sheet structure. The results suggest that the protein alpha-helices are less stable in films and that the secondary structure may rearrange into beta-sheets at high temperature. Two heterooligomeric peptides and poly(L-lysine), all in solution at neutral pH with "random coil" conformation, formed films with variable degrees of their secondary structure in beta-sheets or beta-turns. The result corresponded to the protein-derived Chou-Fasman amino acid propensities, and depended on both temperature and solvent used. The ir and CD spectra correlations of the peptides in the solid state indicate that the CD spectrum of a "random" structure in films differs from random coil in solution. Formic acid treatment transformed the secondary structure of the protein and peptide films into a stable alpha-helix or beta-sheet conformations. The results indicate that the proteins aggregate into a noncrystalline, glass-like state with preserved secondary structure. The solid state secondary structure may undergo further irreversible transformations induced by heat or solvent.

A study of Na-DNA films containing NaCl via scanning electron and tunneling microscopies.

Unoriented films of Na-DNA were prepared by dessicating a gel with different amounts of NaCl. For low salt concentrations, the resulting films were smooth and patternless. For high salt concentrations, the resulting films had visible patterns that were very similar to those recently reported by Sclavi et al. [(1994) Biopolymers, Vol. 34, pp. 1105-1113]. Scanning electron and tunneling microscopies and electron dispersive spectroscopy studies were used to study the spatial distribution of NaCl throughout these films. Two main conclusions were reached about the NaCl: (1) some NaCl is distributed throughout every film, and (2) the visible patterns observed in films with a large amount of NaCl were caused by the growth of NaCl crystals during the dehydration process.

Polyoxometalate monolayers in Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a variety of polyoxometalates of different shapes, sizes, and charges were prepared by taking advantage of the adsorption properties of these polyanions on a positively charged monolayer of an organic surfactant spread on water. Three different aspects were investigated. 1) The electrochemical and electrochromic properties of LB films containing the easily reducible polyoxoanion [P2Mo18O62]6-. Absorbance changes of these LB films deposited onto an ITO substrate have been induced by repeated switching of the applied potential. These changes are due to the formation of the colored reduced forms of the polyanion. Coloration and bleaching of the LB film occur very quickly and are reversible. 2) The preparation of LB films based on magnetic polyoxometalates, such as the Keggin anions, [CoW12O40]6- and [SiMn(OH2)W11O39]6-, or containing magnetic clusters of increasing nuclearities such as [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10- and [Co4(H2O)2(P2W15O62)2]16- based on a Co4O16 ferromagnetic cluster, and the polyoxometalates [Co9(OH)3(H2O)6(HPO4)2(PW9O34)3]16- and [Ni9(OH)3-(H2O)6(HPO4)2(PW9O34)3]16- based on a nonanuclear M9O36 cluster. 3) The preparation of LB films of the giant heteropolyoxomolybdate, [Na3(NH4)12][Mo57Fe6(NO)6O174(OH)3-(H2O)24]76 H2O.

Solid film versus solution-phase charge-recombination dynamics of exTTF-bridge-C60 dyads.

The charge-recombination dynamics of two exTTF-C60 dyads (exTTF = 9,10-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene), observed after photoinduced charge separation, are compared in solution and in the solid state. The dyads differ only in the degree of conjugation of the bridge between the donor (exTTF) and the acceptor (C60) moieties. In solution, photoexcitation of the nonconjugated dyad C60-BN-exTTF (1) (BN = 1,1'-binaphthyl) shows slower charge-recombination dynamics compared with the conjugated dyad C60-TVB-exTTF (2) (TVB = bisthienylvinylenebenzene) (lifetimes of 24 and 0.6 micros, respectively), consistent with the expected stronger electronic coupling in the conjugated dyad. However, in solid films, the dynamics are remarkably different, with dyad 2 showing slower recombination dynamics than 1. For dyad 1, recombination dynamics for the solid films are observed to be tenfold faster than in solution, with this acceleration attributed to enhanced electronic coupling between the geminate radical pair in the solid film. In contrast, for dyad 2, the recombination dynamics in the solid film exhibit a lifetime of 7 micros, tenfold slower than that observed for this dyad in solution. These slow recombination dynamics are assigned to the dissociation of the initially formed geminate radical pair to free carriers. Subsequent trapping of the free carriers at film defects results in the observed slow recombination dynamics. It is thus apparent that consideration of solution-phase recombination data is of only limited value in predicting the solid-film behaviour. These results are discussed with reference to the development of organic solar cells based upon molecular donor-acceptor structures.

From cloudy to transparent: chain rearrangement in hydrogen-bonded layer-by-layer assembled films.

The cloudiness of hydrogen-bonded LBL films assembled from polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPON) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) is studied in detail by two approaches: spectroscopy (Fabry-Pérot fringes) and microscopy (AFM). Fabrication parameters such as temperature, molecular weight, pH value, and rinsing time, have notable influences on film cloudiness. The buildup of the PVPON/ PAA film is a two-stage process of adsorption and chain rearrangement. Generally, adsorption is fast, while chain rearrangement is slow. The fast adsorption process traps defects, whereas the relatively slow chain-rearrangement process can not heal the defects in time; therefore; the number of defects continuously increases as LBL assembly proceeds, and a cloudy, heterogeneous film is produced. However, the as-prepared cloudy films become transparent and homogeneous on subsequent annealing in acidic water. UV/Vis spectroscopy and fluid AFM were applied to monitor this transition ex situ and in situ, respectively. It is found that increasing the annealing temperature accelerates the transition from cloudy to transparent, and the transition of the film made from higher molecular weight polymer is slower.

Compositional dependence of the formation of calcium phosphate films on bioglass.

Bioglass, which has a composition of sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, phosphorous pentoxide and silica, has been shown to bond to living bone. This ability is dependent on controlled surface reactions. Investigators with 45S5 bioglass have demonstrated that the formation of a SiO2-rich layer and a calcium phosphate film on its surface in an aqueous environment is associated with the film bonding the bioglass to bone. The objects of this research were: 1. To study SiO2 dependence on the formation of a silica-rich layer and calcium phosphate films on a bioglass surface in a simulated physiological solution, and 2. To establish a correlation between in vitro surface reactions and in vivo bonding ability. It was discovered that three types of reactions occur in a simulated physiological solution depending on bioglass composition: 1. A calcium phosphate film and SiO2-rich layer form simultaneously and the reaction rate is fast for bioglasses which have a lower content of SiO2 (approximately 46 mol% SiO2). 2. A SiO2-rich layer forms first and a calcium phosphate film develops later between the aqueous environment and the SiO2-rich layer for bioglasses whose SiO2 content is between 46--55 mol %. 3. A calcium phosphate film does not form for glasses whose SiO2 content is more than 60 mol %.

Neuronal cell attachment to fluorinated ethylene propylene films with covalently immobilized laminin oligopeptides YIGSR and IKVAV. II.

Material surfaces that can mediate cellular interactions by the coupling of specific cell membrane receptors may allow for the design of a biomaterial that can control cell attachment, differentiation, and tissue organization. Cell adhesion proteins have been shown to contain minimum oligopeptide sequences that are recognized by cell surface receptors and can be covalently immobilized on material surfaces. In this study, cell attachment to fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) films functionalized with the laminin-derived oligopeptides, YIGSR and a 19-mer IKVAV-containing sequence, was assessed using NG108-15 neuroblastoma and PC12 cells. A radiofrequency glow discharge (RFGD) process that replaces the FEP surface fluorine atoms with reactive hydroxyl functionalities was used to activate the film surfaces. The oligopeptides were then covalently coupled to the surface by their C-terminus using a standard nucleophilic substitution reaction. The covalent attachment of the oligopeptides to the FEP surface was verified using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). Receptor-mediated NG108-15 cell attachment on the YIGSR-modified films was determined using competitive binding assays. Average cell attachment on the oligopeptide immobilized films in medium containing soluble CDPGYIGSR was reduced by approximately a factor of 2, compared to cell attachment in serum-free medium alone. No significant decrease in cell attachment was noted in medium containing the mock oligopeptide sequence CDPGYIGSK. FEP films immobilized with the 19-mer IKVAV sequence demonstrated a higher percentage of receptor mediated cell attachment on the film surfaces.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Quantitative analysis of binary adsorbed protein films by time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.

Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is an ideal technique for the analysis of adsorbed protein films because of its surface sensitivity and chemical specificity. In this study, we examined ToF-SIMS with the multivariate calibration method partial least squares regression (PLSR) for the determination of the relative abundance of the components in binary protein films adsorbed onto mica, PTFE, and heptyl amine plasma polymer substrates. These results have been compared with independently measured 125I-radiolabeled protein adsorption experiments. By applying PLSR to the ToF-SIMS data, the relative abundance of the components in the binary adsorbed protein films was quantified, and the agreement between the ToF-SIMS and 125I-radiolabeling data was measured by the root mean square prediction error (RMSPE). Differences in protein quantification by PLSR and 125I-radiolabeling ranged from 5 to 25 mass % RMSPE and were highly dependent on the structure of the adsorbed protein film, the substrate surface chemistry and morphology, and the number of latent variables retained in the PLSR model. The limit of detection for the minor component in the adsorbed protein film was found to be approximately 10 mass %. This study demonstrates that the combination of ToF-SIMS and multivariate calibration provide complementary information to 125I-radiolabeling about the composition and structure of binary adsorbed protein films.

Fabrication of micropored elastomeric film-covered stents and acute-phase performances.

To prevent thrombus formation in the acute phase and restenosis in the subacute to chronic phase after stenting of atherosclerotic arteries, we developed a covered stent with a micropored elastomeric film, the blood-contacting surface of which was coated with a photocured gelatin layer immobilized with heparin. Segmented polyurethane (SPU) film (30 microm in wall thickness) as a cover material was multiply micropored by excimer laser-directed microprocessing (pore diameter, 30 microm; interpore distance, 125 microm). An aqueous mixed solution of benzophenone-derivatized gelatin and heparin was coated on the micropored SPU film. Upon ultraviolet light irradiation, a thin layer of a gelatin gel immobilized with heparin was formed and simultaneously fixed on the SPU film. The fully covered stents were assembled by wrapping a balloon-expandable stent with gelatin/heparin gel-layered SPU film and subsequently suturing and then gluing. To assess the validity of this covered stent in vivo, "half-covered" stents, in which half at the distal side was covered with the gel-layered SPU film, was implanted in rabbit common carotid arteries (about 3 mm in diameter). After 3 months of implantation, all the half-covered stents (n = 7) were patent. Regardless of the covered or noncovered region of the stents, the entire luminal surface of the stents was fully endothelialized and a thin neointimal tissue was formed. The potential advantages of a covered stent as designed above are discussed.

Effect of chitosan film containing basic fibroblast growth factor on wound healing in genetically diabetic mice.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been shown to stimulate wound healing. However, consistent delivery of bFGF has been problematic. We studied the stability of bFGF incorporated into a chitosan film as a delivery vehicle for providing sustained release of bFGF. The therapeutic effect of this system on wound healing in genetically diabetic mice was determined as a model for treating clinically impaired wound healing. A chitosan film was prepared by freeze-drying hydroxypropylchitosan (a water-soluble derivative of chitosan) acetate buffer solution. Growth factor was incorporated into films before drying by mixing bFGF solution with the hydroxypropylchitosan solution. bFGF activity remained stable for 21 days at 5 degrees C, and 86.2% of activity remained with storage at 25 degrees C. Full-thickness wounds were created on the backs of diabetic mice, and chitosan film or bFGF-chitosan film was applied to the wound. The wound was smaller in after 5 days in both groups, but the wound was smaller on day 20 only in the bFGF-chitosan group. Proliferation of fibroblasts and an increase in the number of capillaries were observed in both groups, but granulation tissue was more abundant in the bFGF-chitosan group. These results suggest that chitosan itself facilitates wound repair and that bFGF incorporated into chitosan film is a stabile delivery vehicle for accelerating wound healing.

Biocompatible Mn2+-doped carbonated hydroxyapatite thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition.

Mn(2+)-doped carbonated hydroxyapatite (Mn-CHA) thin films were obtained by pulsed laser deposition on Ti substrates. The results of the performed complementary diagnostic techniques, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy investigations indicate that the films are crystalline with a Ca/P ratio of about 1.64-1.66. The optimum conditions, when nearly stoichiometric crystalline thin films were deposited, were found to be 10 Pa oxygen pressure, 400 degrees C substrate temperature, and postdeposition heat treatment in water vapors at the same substrate temperature. The films were seeded with L929 fibroblast and hFOB1.19 osteoblast cells and subjected to in vitro tests. Both fibroblast and osteoblast cells have a good adherence on the Mn-CHA film and on the Ti or polystyrene references. Proliferation and viability tests showed that osteoblast cells growth on Mn-CHA-coated Ti was enhanced as compared to uncoated pure Ti surfaces. Caspase-1 activity was not affected significantly by the material, showing that Mn-CHA does not induce apoptosis of cultured cells. These results demonstrate that Mn-CHA films on Ti should provoke a faster osteointegration of the coated implants as compared to pure Ti. (c) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Antifungal activity of DNA-lipid complexes and DNA-lipid films against Candida species.

In this study amphiphilic lipids, DNA-lipid complexes, and DNA-lipid films were prepared, and their antifungal activity against Candida species was examined. The amphiphilic lipids were synthesized from a reaction of glycine or L-alanine with n-alkyl alcohol in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid. DNA-lipid complexes, which were prepared by the simple mixing of DNA and amphiphilic lipids, were insoluble in water. Self-standing, water-insoluble DNA-lipid films were prepared by casting the DNA-lipid complexes from a chloroform/ethanol solution. The antifungal activities of the lipids and DNA-lipid complexes against the Candida species were evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs); those of DNA-lipid films were evaluated by the disk diffusion method. The seven kinds of lipids, DNA-lipid complexes, and DNA-lipid films showed antifungal activity, and no differences were seen in the antifungal activities between glycine and L-alanine derivatives. The lipids, DNA-lipid complexes, and DNA-lipid films, which have shorter alkyl chain length in lipids, showed antifungal activity against all Candida species. However, the effect of antifungal activity against Candida species decreased with increased alkyl chain length in lipids. In this study, it was found that lipids, DNA-lipid complexes, and films with a decyl or dodecyl group exhibit more favorable antifungal activity.

Fabrication and characteristics of bioactive sodium titanate/titania graded film on NiTi shape memory alloy.

A bioactive sodium titanate/titania graded film was formed in situ on NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) by oxidizing in H(2)O(2) solution and subsequent NaOH treatment and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The bioactivity of the film was investigated using a simulated body fluid (SBF) soaking test. A titania (TiO(2)) layer was first found on NiTi substrate after oxidized in H(2)O(2) solution, and then a porous sodium titanate (Na(2)TiO(3))/titania film with many Ti--OH groups and a trace of Ni(2)O(3) was formed by the reaction of partial TiO(2) phase with NaOH solution. After immersion in SBF for 12 h, apatite was observed to nucleate and grow on the film. With longer soaking time, more apatite appeared on its surface but our control experiments didn't reveal any apatite formation on the chemically polished NiTi SMA, which indicates the bioactivity of NiTi implants could be improved by the formation of the bioactive film. Moreover, XPS depth profiles of O, Ni, Ti, and Na show the bioactive film possesses a smooth graded interface structure to NiTi substrate, which is in favor of sufficient mechanical stability of apatite layer by subsequent deposition in SBF.

Endoluminal hydrogel films made of alginate and polyethylene glycol: physical characteristics and drug-eluting properties.

Drug-eluting stents signify a major achievement in reducing the incidence of coronary restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. However, where drug-eluting stents have been unsuccessful, endoluminal gel-paving strategies offer renewed optimism, mainly in a variety of vascular procedures requiring catheter-based sustained, localized delivery of therapeutic drugs, and biological factors. Despite promising results in animals, endoluminal paving has met with very limited clinical success because of the technical difficulties and stringent safety demands. The current study presents an alternative to gel paving using 40-mum-thick biodegradable polymeric films for deployment onto the artery wall during balloon angioplasty and stenting. The films are made from a durable yet compliant network of alginate and polyethylene glycol (PEG), and are securely held affixed to the vessel wall by the expanded stent struts. The alginate-based films are characterized by measuring their strength, elasticity, degree of swelling, degradability in water and saline, and drug release properties. The combination of alginate and PEG afforded the films sufficient strength and compliance for endoluminal deployment using an in vitro organ culture system. In characterizing the film degradability, it was discovered that the ionic concentration of the buffered saline was the main determinant in regulating the degradation kinetics and the release kinetics of the drug molecule Paclitaxel. These results suggest that the use of alginate-based, PEG-containing polymeric films for endoluminal coverage offers an alternative solution to conventional drug-eluting stents, with the added advantage of uniform endoluminal coverage of the treated segment and homogeneous endoluminal application of the active substance.

Preparation of cultured mammalian cells for transmission and scanning electron microscopy using Aclar film.

Common methods for the preparation of cultured cells for concurrent light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are not completely satisfactory. This article describes how we grow mammalian cells on plastic disks made from Aclar film. Aclar is a transparent fluorinated-chlorinated thermoplastic that contains no volatile components and is, for all practical purposes, chemically inert. Cells adhere to it readily and remain attached after fixation, dehydration, and critical-point drying or embedding. The film also accepts heavy metal coating by ionic bombardment and is extremely stable in the vacuum of the SEM. LM observations are unhindered by Aclar, since the film is as transparent as glass. Fluorescence microscopy is possible with this film, since it exhibits no detectable autofluorescence. During SEM observation, the film has great dimensional stability, and the cells and heavy metal coating remain attached to the Aclar even under high-resolution operating conditions. TEM processing of specimens grown on Aclar is simplified by the fact that Aclar does not stick to the epoxy resins used in EM. Furthermore, Aclar is easily sectioned and does not damage knives used in ultramicrotomy. The use of Aclar film considerably simplifies the preparation of cultured cells for all types of microscopy. This method is particularly useful in correlating surface features between SEM and TEM observations.
