Supramolecular Self-Assemblies with Nanoscale RGD Clusters Promote Cell Growth and Intracellular Drug Delivery.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2016 November 10
In this work, we reported the generation of a novel supramolecular hydrogelator from a peptide derivative which consisted of a structural motif (e.g., Fc-FF) for supramolecular self-assembly and a functional moiety (e.g., RGD) for integrin binding. Following self-assembly in water at neutral pH, this molecule first tended to form metastable spherical aggregates, which subsequently underwent a morphological transformation to form high-aspect-ratio nanostructures over 2 h when aged at room temperature. More importantly, because of the presence of nanoscale RGD clusters on the surface of nanostructures, the self-assembled nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles and nanofibers) can be potentially used as a biomimetic matrix for cell culture and as a vector for cell-targeting drug delivery via multivalent RGD-integrin interactions.
