Investigation on Adaptability and Applicability of Polymer-Mediated Cell Surface Engineering by Ligation with Transglutaminase.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2024 March 22
Polymer-mediated cell surface engineering can be a powerful tool to modify the cell's biological behavior, but a simple ligation strategy must be identified. This manuscript assessed the use of transglutamination as a versatile and adaptable approach for cell surface engineering in various cellular models relevant to biomedical applications. This enzymatic approach was evaluated for its feasibility and potential for conjugating polymers to diverse cell surfaces and its biological effects. Transglutaminase-mediated ligation was successfully performed at temperatures ranging from 4 to 37 °C in as quickly as 30 min, while maintaining biocompatibility and preserving cell viability. This approach was successfully applied to nine different cell surfaces (including adherent cells and suspension cells) by optimizing the enzyme source (guinea pig liver vs microbial), buffer compositions, and incubation conditions. Finally, polymer-mediated cell surface engineering using transglutaminase exhibited immunocamouflage abilities for endothelial cells, T cells, and red blood cells by preventing the recognition of cell surface proteins by antibodies. Employing transglutaminase in polymer-mediated cell surface engineering is a promising approach to maximize its application in cell therapy and other biomedical applications.
