Surface nanotopography mediated albumin adsorption, unfolding and modulation of early innate immune responses

Surface roughness plays an important role in regulating protein adsorption to biomaterial surfaces and modulating the subsequent inflammatory response. In this study, we examined the role of surface nanotopography on albumin adsorption, unfolding and subsequent immune responses. To achieve the objec...

description Surface roughness plays an important role in regulating protein adsorption to biomaterial surfaces and modulating the subsequent inflammatory response. In this study, we examined the role of surface nanotopography on albumin adsorption, unfolding and subsequent immune responses. To achieve the objectives of the study, we create model surfaces of hill-like nanoprotrusions by covalently immobilizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of predetermined sizes (16, 38, and 68 nm) on a functional plasma polymer layer.

Circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to evaluate albumin conformational changes and pointed to loss of α-helical structure on all model surfaces with the greatest conformational changes found on the smooth surface and the surface with largest nanotopography features.
