Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition01:02

Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition

3.5K
Microtubules are small hollow tubes in eukaryotic cells. The cell wall microtubules are polymerized dimers of two globular proteins, α-tubulin and β-tubulin, two globular proteins. With a diameter of about 25 nm, microtubules are the widest components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell resist compression and provide a track along which vesicles move through the cell or pull replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell. Microtubules go through quick cycles of...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising biomaterial due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties.
  • Developing methods to impart specific surface topographies to BC is crucial for advanced applications.
  • Existing methods for surface structuring of BC can be complex or lack fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel replica molding methodology, Guided Assembly-based Lithography (GAB), for transferring functional topographies onto bacterial cellulose nanofiber surfaces.
  • To demonstrate the ability of GAB to control the three-dimensional assembly and alignment of bacterial cellulose nanofibers.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of surface-structured BC in controlling cellular activities for tissue regeneration and as a wound dressing.

Main Methods:

  • Guided Assembly-based Lithography (GAB) using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold at the gas-liquid interface of Acetobacter xylinum culture.
  • Characterization of nanofiber assembly and surface topography using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
  • In vitro studies with human fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and in vivo studies using model animals for wound healing assessment.

Main Results:

  • GAB successfully reproduced mold geometry and achieved directional alignment of bacterial cellulose nanofibers.
  • Surface-structured BC exhibited memory of topographical features upon dehydration and rehydration.
  • Surface-structured BC demonstrated efficient control over human fibroblast and keratinocyte activities.
  • In vivo studies showed high durability and low inflammatory response of structured BC as a wound dressing, promoting skin regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Guided Assembly-based Lithography (GAB) is a facile, affordable, and high-fidelity method for creating functional bacterial cellulose surfaces.
  • Surface structuring of bacterial cellulose using GAB significantly influences cellular behavior, offering potential for skin wound healing and tissue regeneration.
  • The developed bacterial cellulose substrates show promise as durable, low-inflammatory wound dressings with beneficial effects on skin regeneration.
