Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Protein Engineering

Background:

  • Streptococcal collagen-like (Scl) proteins offer a non-platelet aggregating triple helix structure.
  • Native Scl2 lacks cell-binding sites, presenting a versatile platform for modification.
  • Current Scl protein applications are limited to coatings due to poor network formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer Scl2 proteins with specific cell-binding motifs for differential endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) adhesion.
  • To develop a method for incorporating modified Scl2 proteins into stable, bioactive hydrogels for vascular applications.
  • To assess the impact of functionalization on Scl2 protein structure, binding, and cell adhesion properties.

Main Methods:

  • Scl2 protein was engineered with integrin receptor binding motifs (α1 and/or α2).
  • Scl2 proteins were functionalized with photocrosslinking sites for hydrogel incorporation.
  • Bioactive hydrogels were fabricated using functionalized Scl2 and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) via photocrosslinking.
  • Cell adhesion studies were performed using ECs and SMCs to evaluate cell-specific binding.

Main Results:

  • Modified Scl2 proteins mediated differential EC and SMC adhesion via integrin binding.
  • Functionalization did not disrupt Scl2 triple helix conformation, integrin binding, or cell adhesion.
  • Photocrosslinked Scl2-PEGDA hydrogels demonstrated cell-specific adhesion, confirming selective integrin engagement.
  • The developed hydrogels retained the non-platelet aggregating properties of the parent Scl2 protein.

Conclusions:

  • Engineered Scl2 proteins can be incorporated into photocrosslinked hydrogels to create bioactive scaffolds.
  • These novel biomaterials enable selective adhesion of endothelial cells versus smooth muscle cells.
  • This platform holds significant potential for developing improved tissue-engineered vascular grafts.
