Simultaneous release of multiple molecules from poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles assembled onto medical devices
چکیده انگلیسی

Cell and tissue responses to implanted biomaterials often limit their effectiveness and lifetime. This is particularly true for materials implanted into the brain. We present here a new approach for the modification of materials to enable release of multiple agents, which might be useful in modulating tissue responses, without changing the properties of the underlying material, in this case, a silicon probe. Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (NPs) were assembled onto silicon probe surfaces by electrostatic interactions. Charged NPs were fabricated by altering the properties of the surfactant. NPs formed with poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMA) were strongly negatively charged; these NPs assembled onto probes best when suspended at nearly physiological conditions (surface density ∼ 83,600 ± 3000 particles/mm2). The percentage of surface area coverage by the NPs was estimated to be ∼13% and was maintained over two weeks during constant exposure to PBS. Multiple fluorescent NP populations were attached to the same probe to allow visualization of simultaneous delivery of multiple agents by fluorescence microscopy. Release from NP coatings was reproducible and controllable. The distinct release profiles of each agent from the coatings were preserved upon attachment to the surfaces. The unique feature of this new system is that NPs encapsulating various molecules (i.e. drugs, proteins, or DNA) can be fabricated separately, in advance, and simply mixed prior to attachment. The versatility of this delivery system, therefore, makes it suitable for many applications.
