Abstract
Biomaterial design in tissue engineering aims to identify appropriate cellular microenvironments in which cells can grow and guide new tissue formation. Despite the large diversity of synthetic polymers available for regenerative medicine, most of them fail to fully match the functional properties of their native counterparts. In contrast, the few biological alternatives employed as biomaterials lack the versatility that chemical synthesis can offer. Herein, we studied the HUVEC adhesion and proliferation properties of elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) that were covalently functionalized with each three high-affinity and selectivity αvβ3- and α5β1-binding bicyclic RGD peptides. Next to the bicycles, ELRs were also functionalized with various integrin-binding benchmark peptides, i.e. knottin-RGD, cyclo-[KRGDf] and GRGDS, allowing for better classification of the obtained results. Covalent functionalization with the RGD peptides, as validated by MALDI-TOF analysis, guarantees flexibility and minimal steric hindrance for interactions with cellular integrins. In addition to the covalently modified RGD-ELRs, we also synthesized another benchmark ELR comprising RGD as part of the backbone. HUVEC adhesion and proliferation analysis using the PicoGreen® assay revealed a higher short-term adhesion and proliferative capacity of cells on ELR surfaces functionalized with high affinity, integrin-binding bicyclic RGD-peptides compared with the ELRs containing RGD in the backbone.
