BackgroundThe improvement of biomedical properties, e.g. biocompatibility, of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) by copolymerization is a promising trend in bioengineering. We used strain Azotobacter chroococcum 7B, an effective producer of PHAs, for biosynthesis of not only poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and its main copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB-HV), but also alternative copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PHB-PEG).ResultsIn biosynthesis we used sucrose as the primary carbon source and valeric acid or poly(ethylene glycol) 300 (PEG 300) as additional carbon sources. The chemical structure of PHB-PEG and PHB-HV was confirmed by 1H nuclear-magnetic resonance (1H NMR) analysis. The physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, crystallinity, hydrophilicity, surface energy) and surface morphology of films from PHB copolymers were studied. To study copolymers biocompatibility in vitro the protein adsorption and COS-1 fibroblasts growth on biopolymer films by XTT assay were analyzed. Both copolymers had changed physico-chemical properties compared to PHB homopolymer: PHB-HV and PHB-PEG had less crystallinity than PHB; PHB-HV was more hydrophobic than PHB in contrast to PHB-PEG appeared to have greater hydrophilicity than PHB; whereas the morphology of polymer films did not differ significantly. The protein adsorption to PHB-PEG was greater and more uniform than to PHB and PHB-PEG copolymer promoted better growth of COS-1 fibroblasts compared with PHB homopolymer.ConclusionsThus, despite low EG-monomers content in bacterial origin PHB-PEG copolymer, this polymer demonstrated significant improvement in biocompatibility in contrast to PHB and PHB-HV copolymers, which may be coupled with increased protein adsorption and hydrophilicity of PEG-containing copolymer.

The copolymerization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a promising trend in bioengineering to improve biomedical properties, e.g. biocompatibility, of this biodegradable polymer. We used strain Azotobacter chroococcum 7B, an effective producer of PHB, for biosynthesis of not only homopolymer and its main copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB-HV), but also novel terpolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PHB-HV-PEG), using sucrose as the primary carbon source and valeric acid and poly(ethylene glycol) 300 (PEG 300) as additional carbon sources. The chemical structure of PHB-HV-PEG was confirmed by 1H nuclear-magnetic resonance analysis. The physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, crystallinity, hydrophilicity, surface energy) of produced biopolymer, the protein adsorption to the terpolymer, and cell growth on biopolymer films were studied. Despite of low EG-monomers content in bacterial-origin PHB-HV-PEG polymer, the terpolymer demonstrated significant improvement in biocompatibility in vitro in contrast to PHB and PHB-HV polymers, which may be coupled with increased protein adsorption, hydrophilicity and surface roughness of PEG-containing copolymer.

Functional coupling between nucleoside diphosphate kinase of the outer mitochondrial compartment and oxidative phosphorylation.

T. Yu. Lipskaya; V. V. Voinova

In rat liver mitochondria all nucleoside diphosphate kinase of the outer compartment is associated with the outer surface of the outer membrane (Lipskaya, T. Yu., and Plakida, K. N. (2003) Biochemistry (Moscow), 68, 1136–1144). In the present study, three systems operating as ADP donors for oxidative phosphorylation have been investigated. The outer membrane bound nucleoside diphosphate kinase was the first system tested. Two others employed yeast hexokinase and yeast nucleoside diphosphate kinase. The two enzymes exhibited the same activity but could not bind to mitochondrial membranes. In all three systems, muscle creatine phosphokinase was the external agent competing with the oxidative phosphorylation system for ADP. Determination of mitochondrial respiration rate in the presence of increasing quantities of creatine phosphokinase revealed that at large excess of creatine phosphokinase activity over other kinase activities (of the three systems tested) and oxidative phosphorylation the creatine phosphokinase reaction reached a quasi-equilibrium state. Under these conditions equilibrium concentrations of all creatine phosphokinase substrates were determined and Keqapp of this reaction was calculated for the system with yeast hexokinase. In samples containing active mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase the concentrations of ATP, creatine, and phosphocreatine were determined and the quasi-equilibrium concentration of ADP was calculated using the Keqapp value. At balance of quasi-equilibrium concentrations of ADP and ATP/ADP ratio the mitochondrial respiration rate in the system containing nucleoside diphosphate kinase was 21% of the respiration rate assayed in the absence of creatine phosphokinase; in the system containing yeast hexokinase this parameter was only 7% of the respiration rate assayed in the absence of creatine phosphokinase. Substitution of mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase with yeast nucleoside diphosphate kinase abolished this difference. It is concluded that oxidative phosphorylation is accompanied by appearance of functional coupling between mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase and the oxidative phosphorylation system. Possible mechanisms of this coupling are discussed.

ABSTRACT A precursor feeding strategy for effective biopolymer producer strain Azotobacter chroococcum 7B was used to synthesize various poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) copolymers. We performed experiments on biosynthesis of PHB copolymers by A. chroococcum 7B using various precursors: sucrose as the primary carbon source, various carboxylic acids and ethylene glycol (EG) derivatives [diethylene glycol (DEG), triethylene glycol (TEG), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 300, PEG 400, PEG 1000] as additional carbon sources. We analyzed strain growth parameters including biomass and polymer yields as well as molecular weight and monomer composition of produced copolymers. We demonstrated that A. chroococcum 7B was able to synthesize copolymers using carboxylic acids with the length less than linear 6C, including poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate) (PHB-4MHV) using Y-shaped 6C 3-methylvaleric acid as precursor as well as EG-containing copolymers: PHB–DEG, PHB–TEG, PHB–PEG, and PHB–HV–PEG copolymers using short-chain PEGs (with n ≤ 9) as precursors. It was shown that use of the additional carbon sources caused inhibition of cell growth, decrease in polymer yields, fall in polymer molecular weight, decrease in 3-hydroxyvalerate content in produced PHB–HV–PEG copolymer, and change in bacterial cells morphology that were depended on the nature of the precursors (carboxylic acids or EG derivatives) and the timing of its addition to the growth medium.

We studied the possibility of long-term culturing of mouse mesenchymal stem cells on a porous scaffold made of biocompatible polymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate. The cells remained viable for at least 2 months and passed more than 65 population doublings in culture. Culturing on the scaffold did not change surface phenotype of cells. 3D poly-3-hydroxybutyrate scaffolds are appropriate substrate for long-term culturing of mesenchymal stem cells.

Mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase: Mode of interaction with the outer mitochondrial membrane and proportion of catalytic activity functionally coupled to oxidative phosphorylation

T. Yu. Lipskaya; V. V. Voinova

In the present study, we found that ionic interactions are not essential for the binding of nucleoside diphosphate kinase of liver mitochondria outer compartment to outer mitochondrial membrane and that the proportion of the enzyme activity involved in functional coupling with oxidative phosphorylation (we demonstrated the existence of functional coupling earlier) is only 17%. Additional evidence was obtained that functionally coupled activity of nucleoside diphosphate kinase is associated with the outer surface of mitochondria. Dextran (10%) did not increase functional coupling. The physological importance of these effects is discussed.

Bone tissue damages are one of the dominant causes of temporary disability and developmental disability. Currently, there are some methods of guided bone regeneration employing different osteoplastic materials and insulation membranes used in surgery. In this study, we have developed a method of preparation of porous membranes from the biopolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), produced by a strain of Azotobacter chroococcum 7B. The biocompatibility of the porous membranes was investigated in vitro using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and in vivo on laboratory animals. The cytotoxicity test showed the possibility of cell attachment on membrane and histological studies confirmed good insulating properties the material. The data obtained demonstrate the high biocompatibility and the potential application of insulating membranes based on PHBV in bone tissue engineering.

Reversibility of nucleoside diphosphate kinase solubilization from the surface of the outer mitochondrial membrane

T. Yu. Lipskaya; V. V. Voinova

It was found that in medium with low ionic strength nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) solubilization from the outer membrane of liver mitochondria could be partially reversed by the addition of 3.3 mM MgCl2. Complete rebinding of the enzyme after the addition of MgCl2 was observed when the mitochondrial washing and storage medium contained leupeptin, an inhibitor of cathepsins. It was demonstrated that leupeptin and another inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, E-64, do not influence the rate of NDPK solubilization as well as its solubilized and membrane-associated activity. We conclude that NDPK becomes sensitive to proteolysis only after its solubilization; proteolysis does not affect the part of the enzyme molecule that is responsible for catalysis. After solubilization of NDPK in the absence of leupeptin, cathepsins damage sites of its binding on the membranes. The rate of the enzyme solubilization is dependent on the pH of the storage medium (pH 6.0–8.0); it decreases with increase in pH. It was shown that in the medium with high ionic strength, MgCl2 does not reverse pH-dependent NDPK solubilization, but solubilization could be reversed by increase in medium pH in the presence of E-64 and BSA. The physiological importance of these results is discussed.

The hydrolytic degradation of polymer films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) of different molecular weights and its copolymers with 3-hydroxyvalerate (9 mol % 3-hydroxyvalerate in the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) chain) of different molecular weights was studied in model conditions in vitro. The changes in the physicochemical properties of the polymers were investigated using different analytical techniques: viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry, gravimetrical method, and water contact angle measurement for polymers. The data showed that in a period of 6 months the weight of polymer films decreased insignificantly. The molecular weight of the samples was reduced significantly; the largest decline (up to 80% of the initial molecular weight of the polymer) was observed in the high-molecular-weight poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). The surface of all investigated polymers became more hydrophilic. In this work, we focus on a mathematical model that can be used for the analysis of the kinetics of hydrolytic degradation of poly(3-hydroxyaklannoate)s by noncatalytic and autocatalytic hydrolysis mechanisms. It was also shown that the degree of crystallinity of some polymers changes differently during degradation in vitro. Thus, the studied polymers can be used to develop biodegradable medical devices such that they can perform their functions for a long period of time.

Porous scaffolds for tissue engineering have been prepared from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and a copolymer of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and polyethylene glycol (PHB-PEG) produced by bioPEGylation. The morphology of the scaffolds and their capacity for adsorption of the model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been studied. Scaffolds produced from bioPEGylated PHB adsorbed more BSA, whereas the share of protein irreversibly adsorbed on these scaffolds was significantly lower (33%) than in the case of PHB homopolymer-based scaffolds (47%). The effect of protein adsorption on scaffold biocompatibility in vitro was tested in an experiment that involved the cultivation of fibroblasts (line COS-1) on the scaffolds. PHB-PEG scaffolds had a higher capacity for supporting cell growth than PHB-based scaffolds. Thus, the bioPEGylated PHB-based polymer scaffolds developed in the present study have considerable potential for use in soft tissue engineering.
