We reported the preparation of surface modified poly(butylene terephthalate)-co-poly(butylene succinate)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (i.e. PBT-co-PBS/PEG) films by three methods: silk fibroin coating, SO2 plasma treatment and silk fibroin anchoring. The obtained composite films were named SF/(PBT-co-PBS/PEG), SO2/(PBT-co-PBS/PEG) and SF/SO2/(PBT-co-PBS/PEG), respectively. Their surface properties were characterized by contact angles, surface energies and XPS. The biocompatibility of the films were further evaluated by the morphology, attachment, proliferation and viability of human salivary epithelial cells (HSG cells). Results revealed that SF/SO2/(PBT-co-PBS/PEG) possessed the high surface free energy (59.67 mJ/m2) and could immobilize a great amount of fibroin (SF surface coverage: 26.39 wt%), which attributed to the formation of such polar groups as hydrosulfide group, sulfonic group, carboxyl and carbonyl ones in the process of SO2 plasma treatment. The cell tests suggested that the silk fibroin anchoring could significantly enhance the biocompatibility of PBT-co-PBS/PEG, which implied the potential application of fibroin modified PBT-co-PBS/PEG for clinical HSG cells transplantation in artificial salivary gland constructs.

Polycationic proteins alter electrolyte transport by epithelium and endothelium, and in asthma are thought to disrupt the airway epithelium and contribute to hyperresponsiveness and airway plugging. In the present study, we used primary cultures of human nasal epithelial cells to investigate the response of respiratory tract epithelium to luminal presentation of a polycationic protein, protamine. Protamine (100 micrograms/ml) in the apical bathing solution had no significant effect on basal transepithelial resistance (Rt) but decreased short-circuit current (Isc) and hyperpolarized the apical membrane, indicating that Na+ absorption had been inhibited. Pretreating with amiloride inverted the response to protamine, resulting in an increase in Isc, depolarization of the apical membrane, and decrease in the fractional resistance of the apical membrane (fRa). The increase in Isc was inhibited by pretreatment with bumetanide. These results indicated that protamine augmented amiloride-induced Cl- secretion. Induction of Cl- secretion by bathing the apical surface in 3 mM Cl(-)-Ringer solution similarly resulted in protamine-induced depolarization of the apical membrane. Heparin precipitated protamine from solution and reversed the Isc responses. In summary, low concentrations of polycationic protein can alter electrolyte transport by human airway epithelium without desquamation, and the response is dependent on the secretory state of the tissue.
