Abstract:

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and acrylic acid were grafted onto tissue culture polystyrene(TCPS) by UV irradiation, followed by immobilization of the monoamine terminated lactobionic(L-NH2) to acrylic acid carboxyls. The compositions of modified surfaces were characterized by ATR-FTIR and XPS. The morphologies were observed via AFM. Results from drop contact angle measurement indicate that the modified surfaces show hydrophobic/hydrophilic property alterations in response to temperature. Adhesion and detachment of hepatic tumor cells(HepG-2) were examined on virgin surface and modified surfaces. Immobilization of L-NH2 facilitated HepG-2 cells adhesion on saccharified thermoresponsive surface. Moreover, HepG-2 cells cultured on modified surfaces can be recovered non-invasively by decreasing temperature.
