DNA-多肽复合分子的设计、组装与应用

DNA-多肽复合分子作为一类新型的自组装分子受到研究人员的广泛关注。DNA分子具有可编程性、高特异性、功能多样等优点,多肽分子是一类重要的生物小分子,能够通过分子自组装形成具有不同结构的纳米材料,因此,将二者通过共价交联,可以获得具有多级自组装行为的DNA-多肽复合分子,能够实现两类重要生物分子功能的集成优化,合成具有不同结构与功能的超分子自组装材料。此外,通过酶催化、DNA杂化、DNA链置换反应等,还可实现对多肽-DNA复合分子自组装行为的动态调控,进而模拟生命系统中复杂动态的自组装结构,强化相关材料在生物、化学、材料等领域的应用。本文讨论了DNA-多肽复合分子的设计、组装与应用方面的最新进展,最后基于目前DNA-多肽复合分子存在的一些问题对DNA-多肽复合分子的研究做了展望。     

苄醚型树枝化碳水化合物的合成与液晶性

选取3种不同结构的苄醚型树枝状分子为分枝,以N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖为内核,合成出一类树枝化碳水化物;利用DSC、热台偏光显微镜、XRD和CD／UV光谱等手段研究该类化合物的液晶性,并命名为树状碳水化合物液晶。研究表明,连接有楔形树枝状单元的化合物形成手性柱状六方相或者向列相,连接有锥形树枝状单元的化合物未能如预期形成立方相,而仍然形成手性柱状六方相．超分子手性很可能源于树枝状单元与糖内核的协同自组装,使得树状分子沿着柱轴螺旋式堆砌;而糖环内核则对超分子柱的手性起调控作用,从而避免了外消旋的发生．该类化合物为研究碳水化合物诱导手性超分子聚集体提供了新的思路．

二维有机组装体的可控制备

二维有机组装体是一类具有特殊形貌和性质的有序结构, 有可能带来新功能和光电子领域的潜在应用, 但如何实现二维有机组装体的可控制备是尚待解决的问题. 针对这一问题, 我们通过对构筑基元的理性设计, 调控分子间的相互作用, 发展了三种可控制备二维有机组装体的新方法: (1)利用疏水有机阴离子作为Bola型两亲分子的抗衡离子, 能够削弱亲水头基间的静电排斥作用, 从而诱导两亲分子的组装结构从一维向二维转变; (2)基于非共价键形成超两亲分子, 通过设计和控制超两亲分子的拓扑结构, 简便有效地实现二维组装体的制备; (3)通过共价修饰或引入新的非共价键, 以限制三维结构在某一方向上的生长, 从而降低三维结构的维度, 也能实现二维组装体的可控制备. 未来, 上述研究有望进一步拓展, 并实现功能二维有机组装体的构筑.

Synthesis,Self-Assembly,and Cell Responses of Aromatic IKVAV Peptide Amphiphiles

Synthetic bioactive aromatic peptide amphiphiles have been recognized as key elements of emerging biomedical strategies due to their biocompatibility, design flexibility, and functionality. Inspired by natural proteins, we synthesized two supramolecular materials of phenyl-capped Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val (Ben-IKVAV) and perfluorophenyl-capped Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val (PFB-IKVAV). We employed UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to examine the driving force in the self-assembly of the newly discovered materials. It was found that both compounds exhibited ordered π-π interactions and secondary structures, especially PFB-IKVAV. The cytotoxicity of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and cell differentiation studies was also performed. In addition, the immunofluorescent staining for neuronal-specific markers of MAP2 was 4.6 times (neural induction medium in the presence of PFB-IKVAV) that of the neural induction medium (control) on day 7. From analyzing the expression of neuronal-specific markers in hMSCs, it can be concluded that PFB-IKVAV may be a potential supramolecular biomaterial for biomedical applications.     

Carbodiimide-Driven Dimerization and Self-Assembly of Artificial,Ribose-Based Amphiphiles

The aqueous self-assembly of amphiphiles into aggregates such as micelles and vesicles has been widely investigated over the past decades with applications ranging from materials science to drug delivery. The combination of characteristic properties of nucleic acids and amphiphiles is of substantial interest to mimic biological self-organization and compartmentalization. Herein, we present ribose- and ribonucleotide-based amphiphiles and investigate their self-assembly as well as their fundamental reactivity. We found that various types of aggregates are formed, ranging in size from nanometers to micrometers and all amphiphiles exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in solution as well as in the solid state. We also observed that the addition of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) leads to rapid and selective dimerization of the amphiphiles into pyrophosphates, which decreases the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) by a factor of 25 when compared to the monomers. Since the propensity for amphiphile dimerization is correlated with their tendency to self-assemble, our results may be relevant for the formation of rudimentary compartments under prebiotic conditions.     

环二肽的自组装及其荧光性能

环二肽由两个氨基酸通过肽键环合形成,在氢键相互作用驱动下具有较强的自组装倾向.本工作研究了c-SF,c-SY,c-SH及c-DF等四种环二肽的自组装行为和组装体的荧光特性.实验结果表明,c-SH为无规卷曲而其他三种环二肽均采取β-sheet二级结构,且除c-SH未形成明显组装体外,其他三种环二肽均形成不同尺寸的纳米纤维.荧光光谱检测发现环二肽在不同波长的激发下存在多个不同的荧光发射峰;对于c-SH,侧链咪唑基官能团与Zn（II）配位可以增大荧光发射的强度;对于c-SY,侧链酚羟基的氧化也可以增强荧光强度.推测在氢键作用的驱动下环二肽分子可以逐个堆叠形成纳米纤维,自组装导致的分子聚集和分子的侧链结构均可使环二肽具有可调变的荧光性能.     

A Rapid Self-Assembly Peptide Hydrogel for Recruitment and Activation of Immune Cells

Self-assembly peptide nanotechnology has attracted much attention due to its regular and orderly structure and diverse functions. Most of the existing self-assembly peptides can form aggregates with specific structures only under specific conditions and their assembly time is relatively long. They have good biocompatibility but no immunogenicity. To optimize it, a self-assembly peptide named DRF3 was designed. It contains a hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface, using two N-terminal arginines, leucine, and two c-terminal aspartate and glutamic acid. Meanwhile, the c-terminal of the peptide was amidated, so that peptide segments were interconnected to increase diversity. Its characterization, biocompatibility, controlled release effect on antigen, immune cell recruitment ability, and antitumor properties were examined here. Congo red/aniline blue staining revealed that peptide hydrogel DRF3 could be immediately gelled in PBS. The stable β-sheet secondary structure of DRF3 was confirmed by circular dichroism spectrum and IR spectra. The observation results of cryo-scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy demonstrated that DRF3 formed nanotubule-like and vesicular structures in PBS, and these structures interlaced with each other to form ordered three-dimensional nanofiber structures. Meanwhile, DRF3 showed excellent biocompatibility, could sustainably and slowly release antigens, recruit dendritic cells and promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro. In addition, DRF3 has a strong inhibitory effect on clear renal cell carcinoma (786-0). These results provide a reliable basis for the application of peptide hydrogels in biomedical and preclinical trials.

Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Mixed-Graft Block Copolymers

Mixed-graft block copolymers (mGBCPs) consist of two or more types of polymeric side chains grafted on a linear backbone in a random, alternating, or pseudo-alternating sequence. They can phase-separate with the backbone serving as the interface of the blocks, and the side chains dominate their self-assembly behavior. mGBCPs are an accessible polymer architecture for exploring the idea of encoding polymer properties through the macromolecular architecture, as there are two distinct structural components that can be tuned: the backbone and the side chains. In this Concept article, the current literature on the synthesis of mGBCPs is reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each synthetic method are noted. The self-assembly of mGBCPs is also discussed where possible. Finally, directions for future research on mGBCP synthesis and self-assembly are suggested.     

梳状-线性共聚物自组装的耗散粒子动力学模拟

梳状-线性共聚物在选择性溶剂中可以自组装形成两种不同类型的聚集体, 其中第I类的自组装发生在亲、疏溶剂链之间, 而第II类发生在线性链和梳状亚结构之间. 本工作利用耗散粒子动力学方法, 分别研究了梳状-线性共聚物在侧链和主链选择性溶剂中形成的这两类聚集体, 探讨了侧链长度和侧链数量等对聚集体类型及形貌的影响. 研究表明, 第II类聚集体在侧链长度较短且侧链数量较多时容易形成. 将模拟结果与文献报道的实验结果相比较, 发现两者能较好地吻合. 此外, 本研究获得了一些在实验中较难得到的信息, 有助于进一步理解梳状-线性共聚物的自组装行为.     

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulations on the Self-Assembly of New Segmented Random-Block Copolymers in Selective Solvents

Dissipative particle dynamics simulation was applied to investigate the self-assembly of new segmented random-block copolymers (A-co-B)-b-B in selective solvents. The coarse-grained models of random-block copolymers were built. The effects of the composition of the copolymer, the interaction parameters, the volume fractions, as well as the ratio of hydrophilic particles to hydrophobic particles in the random segment, on the morphology of the aggregations were systematically investigated. The results showed that new segmented random-block copolymers (A-co-B)-b-B could self-assemble into rodlike micelle, spherical micelle and two-compartment micelle. Oval-shaped micelle and spherical micelle could be formed at different volume fractions. The simulation results provide an important reference to the design and synthesis of specific micelles.
