| Research Abstract |
The surface of polyethylene (PE) was modified by grafting with various water-soluble polymers to control blood/materials interactions. This study was carried out in order to improve our understanding of the effect of chemical structure of water-soluble polymers grafted on the PE surface on platelet function when the platelets were in contacted the surface, Water-soluble polymers, such as poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), poly(acrylamide) (PAAm), poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPy), and poly[monomethacryloyl poly(ethylene glycol)] (PMPEG) were grafted on low-density PE sheets by photoinduced graft polymerization. PE bags modified with water-soluble polymers and non-modified PE bags were prepared by heat processing.
The activation of platelets after storage in the PE bags was evaluated by measuring the cytoplasmic free calcium ion concentration ([Ca^<2+>]i). The [Ca^<2+>]i of platelets in contact with the PE surface grafted with PMPC was the same level as that of native platelets and significantly less than that in contact with other PE surfaces grafted with water-soluble polymers. The number of adherent platelets was effectively decreased on PE surfaces grafted with PMPC and PMPEG compared with non-treated PE. The aggregation ability of platelets was also measured after storage of platelet-rich plasma in the PE bags. The PE surface grafted with PMPC demonstrated a significantly decrease in aggregation ability compared with the non-treated PE, and that grafted with PAAm, PVPy, and PMPEG. We conclude that surface modification with PMPC is the most effective among these water-soluble polymers in preserving platelet functions.
