Engineered peptide-based nanobiomaterials for electrochemical cell chip

Abstract

Biomaterials having cell adhesion ability are considered to be integral part of a cell chip. A number of researches have been carried out to search for a suitable material for effective immobilization of cell on substrate. Engineered ECM materials or their components like collagen, Poly-l-Lysine (PLL), Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide have been extensively used for mammalian cell adhesion and proliferation with the aim of tissue regeneration or cell based sensing application. This review focuses on the various approaches for two- and three-dimensionally patterned nanostructures of a short peptide i.e. RGD peptide on chip surfaces together with their effects on cell behaviors and electrochemical measurements. Most of the study concluded with positive remarks on the well-oriented engineered RGD peptide over their homogenous thin film. The engineered RGD peptide not only influences cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation but also their periodic nano-arrays directly influence electrochemical measurements of the chips. The electrochemical signals found to be enhanced when RGD peptides were used in well-defined two-dimensional nano-arrays. The topographic alteration of three-dimensional structure of engineered RGD peptide was reported to be suitably contacted with the integrin receptors of cellular membrane which results indicated the enhanced cell-electrode adhesion and efficient electron exchange phenomenon. This enhanced electrochemical signal increases the sensitivity of the chip against the target analytes. Therefore, development of engineered cellular recognizable peptides and its 3D topological design for fabrication of cell chip will provide the synergetic effect on bio-affinity, sensitivity and accuracy for the in situ real-time monitoring of analytes.

Electrochemical detection of dopamine using periodic cylindrical gold nanoelectrode arrays

“…Next, we aimed to use CAuNEs as real-time cell-based biosensors that are different from numerous previously reported typical dopamine sensors. Specifically, cells are known to actively interact with their surroundings via binding events between cell adhesion receptors such as integrins and ECM proteins 48 . Interestingly, many studies reported that nanopatterns generated on the underlying substrates affect several aspects of cell behavior and cell functions, including migration, proliferation, adhesion, spreading, and differentiation.…”

“…In conclusion, the 3D pGO-GNP-pGO is excellent for dopamine detection and could be utilized for the development of biosensors that are capable of detecting other types of neurotransmitters Sensors 2017, 17, 861 9 of 11 (e.g., glutamate, acetylcholine, serotonin, gamma-Aminobutyric acid), and these might be helpful for the early diagnosis of various neurological diseases [41].…”

Chitosan-Graphene Oxide-Based Ultra-Thin and Flexible Sensor for Diabetic Wound Monitoring

“…To this end, several adhesion molecules of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen, fibronectin, and their peptide derivatives like poly L-lysine, RGD peptide etc. have been explored [24]. Though collagen and fibronectin offer good adhesion properties and create in vivo like environment on the artificial surface, their inhibitory roles in electron exchange phenomena at cell-electrode interface makes them unsuitable for application on electrode surfaces [25,26].…”
