© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Recently, the importance of biopharmaceuticals in medical treatments has been increasing, and effective protein purification methods are strongly required for their production. In the present study, a temperature-responsive solid-phase extraction (SPE) column was developed for the purification of proteins without affecting their bioactivity. A temperature-responsive polymer hydrogel-modified stationary phase was prepared by coating aminopropyl silica beads (average diameter, 40–64 μm) with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)-based thermoresponsive hydrogels. n-Butyl methacrylate and acrylic acid were copolymerized with PNIPAAm as hydrophobic and anionic monomers, respectively. Using these temperature-responsive SPE columns, targeted proteins were retained on the thermoresponsive hydrogel at 40 °C through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. After the temperature was reduced from 40 °C to 4 °C, the retained proteins were successfully eluted from the column. Using the temperature-responsive SPE system, lysozyme was successfully separated from ovalbumin without any loss in bioactivity (99.7 ± 0.1%). Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody, was also purified from BSA or hybridoma cell culture medium using the prepared SPE column. Denaturation of rituximab was not observed in the rituximab fraction eluted from the SPE column. These results demonstrate that temperature-responsive polymer-based SPE can be applied in biomedical purifications, while maintaining the biological activity of the proteins.

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is more highly expressed in cancer cells compared with normal cells. LAT1 targeting probes would therefore be a promising tool for cancer cell imaging. In this study, LAT1-targeting thermoresponsive fluorescent polymer probes based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)) were synthesized and their affinity for LAT1 was evaluated. The synthesized polymer probes interacted with LAT1 on HeLa cells, and inhibition of L-[3 H]-leucine, one of the substrates for LAT1 uptake, was investigated. L-Tyrosine-conjugated P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm) inhibited the uptake of L-[3 H]-leucine, while P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm) and L-phenylalanine-conjugated P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm) did not. This result indicated that L-tyrosine-conjugated polymer has a high affinity for LAT1. The fluorescent polymer probes were prepared by modification of a terminal polymer group with fluorescein-5-maleimide (FL). Above the polymer transition temperature, cellular uptake of the polymer probes was observed because the polymers became hydrophobic, which enhanced the interaction with the cell membrane. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of the fluorescent probe using flow cytometry indicated that L-tyrosine-conjugated P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)-FL shows higher fluorescence intensity earlier than P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)-FL. The result suggested that cellular uptake was promoted by the LAT1 affinity site. The developed LAT1-targeting thermoresponsive fluorescent polymer probes are expected to be useful for cancer cell imaging.

　View Summary

© 2018 by the authors. We prepared thermoresponsive hydrogels by mixing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) derivatives as the main chain components, octa arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a crosslinker, and the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptides as cell adhesion units. Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hbmMSCs) were cultured on the hydrogels. The PNIPAAm gel prepared by the post crosslinking gelation method was revealed to be cytocompatible and showed temperature dependent changes in mechanical properties. Repeated changes in the swelling ratio of the PNIPAAm gel affected the shape of the hbmMSCs. With respect to both cytocompatibility and reversibility of changes in mechanical properties, the PNIPAAm gel system could be potentially useful for the analysis of cell mechanobiology.

　View Summary

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Many thermoresponsive surfaces for biomedical applications have been developed using various techniques for modifying substrates with thermoresponsive polymers. In addition, surface-initiated living radical polymerization methods such as atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization have been developed as nano structure controlled surface modification methods for modifying thermoresponsive polymers to substrates. These polymerization techniques allow the accurate control of polymerization and the formation of densely packed polymer brush structures. The present review article summarizes a variety of thermoresponsive polymer brushes, mainly comprising poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm), prepared by surface-initiated ATRP and RAFT polymerization. Self-oscillating polymer brushes as new nano-actuators are also discussed.

©2018, The Society of Polymer Science, Japan. Protein drugs and therapeutic cells are among promising current and future therapies for patients. The importance of these proteins and cells has increased in the clinical field, and protein and cell purification methods, without losing their potency or biological activity, are urgently needed. We prepared thermoresponsive polymer brushes as a new protein and cell separation tool because interactions between the polymer brushes and targeted proteins and cells can be modulated by changing the external solution temperature without using other agents that might contaminate these biologics or disrupt their function. Using these new thermoresponsive polymer brushes, a variety of different bio-separations have been performed by simple temperature changes in aqueous solutions. The present review describes the recent achievement in bioseparation using thermoresponsive polymer brushes.

©2018, The Society of Polymer Science, Japan. Drug delivery system (DDS) is a technology that controls sustained release of medicines in the body and localized delivery to diseased tissues. Therefore, it is possible to keep the concentration of medicine at therapeutically effective concentrations for a long time and to reduce side effects. We have achieved controlled intracellular uptake, and release of medicines by nanocarriers modified with stimuli-responsive polymers based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), which undergoes a reversible phase transition in response to external temperature stimulation. In this article, we introduce our recent research on the design of temperature- and pH-responsive polymers, which enables selective intracellular uptake with external stimulation, and applications to DDS of an anti-tumor agent and siRNA by micelle and liposomes modified with those polymers.

　View Summary

© 2017 The Authors Thermoresponsive surfaces, prepared by grafting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) or its copolymers, have been investigated for biomedical applications. Thermoresponsive cell culture dishes that show controlled cell adhesion and detachment following external temperature changes, represent a promising application of thermoresponsive surfaces. These dishes can be used to fabricate cell sheets, which are currently used as effective therapies for patients. Thermoresponsive microcarriers for large-scale cell cultivation have also been developed by taking advantage of the thermally modulated cell adhesion and detachment properties of thermoresponsive surfaces. Furthermore, thermoresponsive bioseparation systems using thermoresponsive surfaces for separating and purifying pharmaceutical proteins and therapeutic cells have been developed, with the separation systems able to maintain their activity and biological potency throughout the procedure. These applications of thermoresponsive surfaces have been improved with progress in preparation techniques of thermoresponsive surfaces, such as polymerization methods, and surface modification techniques. In the present review, the various types of PIPAAm-based thermoresponsive surfaces are summarized by describing their preparation methods, properties, and successful biomedical applications.
