Book Electrochemically assisted Functionalization of a 316L Stainless Steel Surface with Fibronectin

Download or read book Electrochemically assisted Functionalization of a 316L Stainless Steel Surface with Fibronectin written by Hesam Dadafarin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is reported to be the single largest cause of death in developed countries. Among different types of CVD, a common and prevalent disorder is atherosclerosis, which is characterized mostly by the formation of a plaque resulting in considerable narrowing (stenosis) and hardening of the arteries. Approximately one third of atherosclerosis patients are treated by angioplasty and stenting. However, all current stents offer low biocompatibility, which results in occurrence of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis in up to ca. 30% patients, and the need for further medical treatment. Various stent-surface modification approaches have been employed in order to minimize in-stent restenosis, but none of them has proven to give long-term satisfactory benefits. The aim of this work was to develop a new method for the stent surface modification, in an attempt to decrease the in-stent restenosis rate. The ultimate aim of the project was to functionalize 316L stainless steel, CoCr and NiTi surfaces with a chemically-bound extracellular matrix protein fibronectin (Fn), in order to control and mediate endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) / surface (Fn) interactions. In this PhD project, a novel electrochemistry-based method for the immobilization of Fn on 316L stainless steel, CoCr and NiTi surface was developed. The method is based on the formation of a stable alkanethiol monolayer ("linker") on the alloy surface, which was further chemically modified to allow covalent attachment of Fn. Polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) revealed that the formed alkanethiol monolayer is relatively ordered and well-packed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated that monolayer is attached to the 316L stainless steel surface through the sulfur atom. It was further confirmed that the monolayer remained stable over a period of seven days of constant immersion in a corrosive phosphate buffered saline solution. Long-term electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments demonstrated that the formed monolayer also provided a diffusion barrier for aggressive / corrosive ions, yielding a high (ca. 94%) corrosion protection efficiency for 316L stainless steel. It was determined that the covalent attachment of Fn to the alkanethiol monolayer pre-formed on 316L stainless steel, CoCr and NiTi surfaces resulted in the formation of a very stable protein layer. PM-IRRAS indicated that the covalent attachment of Fn resulted in a change of the protein's secondary structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis of Fn molecules immobilized on a surface of a commercial 316L stainless steel cardiovascular stent revealed that a relative homogenous spatial distribution of Fn was achieved and the molecule spacing was appropriate for cell adhesion.The effect of Fn immobilization on a 316L stainless steel surface on cell/surface behavior was further investigated by examining the interaction with platelets, ECs and SMCs. Lower platelet adhesion and aggregation was observed on Fn-modified surfaces, in comparison to the naked (unmodified) surface, which implies a lower thrombogenicity of the Fn-modified surface. It was shown that the presence of Fn on the surface significantly enhanced EC attachment, while no detectable improvement in SMC attachment was observed. Higher proliferation rate of both ECs and SMCs was achieved on the Fn-modified surface. The comparative study of EC and SMC attachment revealed that Fn-modified surfaces can selectively attract more ECs than SMCs. This indicates a higher biocompatibility of the Fn-modified surface for coronary stent applications." --
