| Abstract |
Ligand-immobilization to stents and vascular grafts is expected to promote endothelialization by capturing flowing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the optimized ligand density and linker structure have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report that flowing EPCs were selectively captured by the REDV peptide conjugated with a short linker. The microchannel surface was modified with the REDV peptide via Gly-Gly-Gly (G3), (Gly-Gly-Gly)3 (G9), and diethylene glycol (diEG) linkers, and the moving velocity and captured ratio were evaluated. On the unmodified microchannels, the moving velocity of the cells exhibited a unimodal distribution similar to the liquid flow. The velocity of the endothelial cells and EPCs on the peptide-immobilized surface indicated a bimodal distribution, and approximately 20 to 30% of cells moved slower than the liquid flow, suggesting that the cells were captured and rolled on the surface. When the immobilized ligand density was lower than 1 molecule/nm2, selective cell capture was observed only in REDV with G3 and diEG linkers, but not in G9 linkers. An in silico study revealed that the G9 linker tends to form a bent structure, and the REDV peptide is oriented to the substrate side. These results indicated that REDV captured the flowing EPC in a sequence-specific manner, and that the short linker was more adequate.
