Monocyte inflammatory and matrix remodeling response modulated by grafted ECM-derived ligand concentration.

Ligands presented on biomaterials are a common method to facilitate and control the host response. In a gelatin and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGdA) based semi-interpenetrating network (sIPN), the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived peptide amount on monocyte adhesion and subsequent protein and mRNA expression were examined. Peptide amount on the sIPN surface was controlled by varying the wt % ratio of the peptide-PEG grafted gelatin to PEGdA. We hypothesized that increasing bioactive peptide amount would modulate human blood-derived monocyte adhesion, cytokine expression, and gene regulation. Monocyte adhesion, release of gelatin degrading proteases matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9), and proinflammatory protein interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and mRNA expression of these proteins were evaluated. We found RGD-PEG grafted sIPNs with higher surface RGD concentrations showed increased adherent density. MMP-2 and IL-1beta protein release was also influenced by the ligand concentration, as initial increase in protein concentration was observed at higher ligand concentrations. MMP-9 protein showed an initial increase that subsided then increased. A decreased IL-1beta protein and mRNA expression was observed over time but MMP-2 mRNA was not detected at any time though MMP-2 protein concentrations showed an initial burst. Hence, monocyte behavior was modulated by surface ligand identity in tandem with ligand concentration.
