Article Abstract
Cell microenvironment contains a plethora of information that influences cell modulation. Indeed, the extracellular matrix plays a central role in tissue development. Reproducing the cell-extracellular matrix crosstalk able to recapitulate both physical and biochemical signals is crucial to obtain functional tissue models or regenerative strategies. Here, a combined method is proposed to easily functionalize collagen surface films, tailoring morphological properties. Oxygen nonthermal plasma treatment and glyco-conjugation with chondroitin sulfate are used to modify surface properties. It results in higher adhesion, proliferation and morphological organization of U87 glioblastoma cells. Our finding suggests new promising strategies for the development of collagen-based biomaterials, which can be employed for advanced models.

In this paper, we present the NMR analysis of multivalent compounds displaying chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) disaccharide ligands and their interaction with langerin. The disaccharides correspond to the two alternative sequences of CS-E: GlcA-GalNAc and GalNAc-GlcA. Firstly, we studied the conformation of the two corresponding series of glycodendrimers free in solution and in the presence of langerin.

The development of biomimetic scaffolds that emulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical for advancing cell-based therapies and tissue regeneration. This study reports the formulation of CHyCoGel, a novel injectable, ECM-mimetic hydrogel scaffold composed of chitosan, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and an amphiphilic stabilizer. CHyCoGel addresses key limitations of existing scaffolds, offering improved structural uniformity, injectability, and gelation suitable for cell encapsulation and minimally invasive delivery.

This study examined the pH-dependent (3, 5, and 7) regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity by cathepsin K (catK) and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), fluorescence assays, and human dentin slice experiments. The direct effects of catK were evaluated in the catK-active, catK-deficient, and odanacatib (ODN)-inhibited groups, whereas indirect GAG/ tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-mediated regulation was assessed in the catK-active, ODN-inhibited, and chondroitin sulfate (CS)-treated groups through dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) assays, in situ zymography, and immunofluorescence staining. CatK directly activated MMP-2 (62 kDa) and MMP-9 (82 kDa) at all pH values, with no activation observed in the ODN-inhibited or catK-deficient groups.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a biopolymer with critical applications in osteoarthritis treatment and biomedical sectors, faces production challenges due to low yields and high costs. This study established a high-yield chondroitin (the major precursor of CS) production platform in Corynebacterium glutamicum for the simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose from corn straw hydrolysate. Firstly, through codon optimization of genes encoding chondroitin synthase (KfoC) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-4-epimerase (KfoA), combined with tailoring metabolic pathways and medium components for chondroitin synthesis, yielded the high-titer strain CgC25.
