Developing a Silk Fibroin Composite Film to Scavenge and Probe H2O2 Associated with UV-Excitable Blue Fluorescence.

ABSTRACT: A silk fibroin composite film that can simultaneously scavenge and probe H2O2 in situ was developed for possibly examining local concentrations of H2O2 for biomedical applications. A multi-functional composite film (GDES) that consists of graphene oxide (G), a photothermally responsive element that was blended with polydopamine (PDA, D)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP, E) (or DE complex), and then GDE microaggregates were coated with silk fibroin (SF, S), a tyrosine-containing protein. At 37 °C, the H2O2-scavenging ability of a GDES film in solution at approximately 7.5 × 10-3 ?mol H2O2/mg film was the highest compared with those of S and GS films. The intensities of UV-excitable blue fluorescence of a GDES film linearly increased with increasing H2O2 concentrations from 4.0 ?M to 80 ?M at 37 °C. Interestingly, after a GDES film scavenged H2O2, the UV-excitable blue fluorescent film could be qualitatively monitored by eye, making the film an eye-probe H2O2 sensor. A GDES film enabled to heat H2O2-containing samples to 37 °C or higher by the absorption of near-IR irradiation at 808 nm. The good biocompatibility of a GDES film was examined according to the requirements of ISO-10993-5. Accordingly, a GDES film was developed herein to scavenge and eye-probe H2O2 in situ and so it has potential for biomedical applications.

Project description:Ultrasound utilizes a non-radiation technology that can meet modern standards to gain access to cheap, reliable and sustainable modern energy. Ultrasound technology can be implemented in the field of biomaterials for its exceptional potential in controlling the shape of nanomaterials. This study presents the first example of the production of soy and silk fibroin protein composite nanofibers in various ratios via combining ultrasonic technology with air-spray spinning. Characterization of ultrasonic spun nanofibers was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, water contact angle, water retention, enzymatic degradation, and cytotoxicity assays. The effects that adjustments on the ultrasonic time have on the surface morphology, structures, thermal properties, hydrophilicity, water-uptake, bio-enzyme degradability, mechanical properties, and cytocompatibility of the material were examined. It was discovered that as the sonication time increased from 0 to 180 min, the beading phenomenon disappeared, forming nanofibers with uniform diameter and porosity; while the content of β-sheet crystals in the composites and their thermal stability gradually increased, the materials glass transition temperature decreased, and preferred mechanical properties were obtained. Additional studies show that the hydrophilicity, water retention capacity and enzymatic degradation rate were also enhanced by ultrasound, providing a favorable environment for cell attachment and proliferation. This study highlights the experimental and theoretical methods for ultrasound assisted air-jet spinning of biopolymer nanofibrous materials with tunable properties and high biocompatibility, which provide a wide range of applications in wound dressings and drug-carrying systems. This work shows great potential for a direct road to sustainable development of protein based fibers in the industry, thus promoting economic growth, and improving the health of the general population and well-being of wounded patients worldwide.
