| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is manipulation of cellular function through the modification of cell surface. We used single-stranded DNA, which was conjugated both to poly(ethylene glycol) and to a terminal phospholipid (ssDNA-PEG-lipid) for cell surface modification. The cell surface of cells can be further functionalized through DNA hybridization. We examined control of 1) biological responses and 2) cell-substrate and cell-cell attachment.
1) The modification of cell surface of endothelial cells with antioxidant-loaded liposomes reduced oxidative stress during ischemia reperfusion. The modification of cell aggregates with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles allowed for MRI monitoring post-transplantation.
2) We realized cell attachment to poly(lactic acid) scaffold in a spatially controlled manner by taking advantage of variety of DNA sequence. In addition, both cell attachment and detachment can be programmed using DNA containing the cleavage site for restriction enzyme.
