Controlled synthesis of polyvinylamine-based (co)polymers for gene transfection / Synthese contrôlée de copolymères à base de polyvinylamine pour le transfert de gènesDréan, Mathilde 10 October 2016 (has links)
Le transfert de gènes consiste en l’introduction d’acides nucléiques au sein de cellules afin de modifier leur activité dans un but essentiellement thérapeutique. Pour préserver le matériel génétique de toute dégradation, il faut recourir à des vecteurs. Parmi ceux-ci, les polymères cationiques sont très prometteurs, en particulier, la polyéthylènimine, considérée comme le vecteur non-viral de référence. Néanmoins, il présente une cytotoxicité élevée. Ainsi, de nombreuses recherches ont pour but d’identifier et de développer de nouveaux polymères combinant efficacité de transfection et haute viabilité cellulaire. Cette thèse vise le développement de méthodes d’ingénierie macromoléculaire donnant accès à une large gamme de dérivés à base de polyvinylamine et l’évaluation de leurs performances en tant que vecteurs de transfection. Différentes techniques de polymérisation radicalaire conventionnelle et contrôlée ont été mises au point afin de synthétiser des (co)polymères à base de polyvinylamine constitués d’amines primaires et secondaires. L’efficacité du transfert d’ADN plasmidique et la viabilité cellulaire ont été évaluées sur des cellules HeLa. L’influence de différents paramètres macromoléculaires sur les performances de transfection a été investiguée. Cette étude a permis de démontrer que certains dérivés de polyvinylamine possédaient une efficacité de transfection aussi élevée que la PEI tout en étant moins toxique. De manière générale, ce travail rend compte du haut potentiel des (co)polyvinylamines en tant que vecteurs pour le transfert de gènes. / Gene transfection consists in the introduction of genetic materials (DNA or RNA) in cells in order to modulate the cell activity, with therapeutic purposes in most cases. To deliver the genetic materials into cells without degradation, vectors are necessary. Among them, cationic polymers are promising candidates. For instance, polyethylenimine has emerged as a gold standard due to its high transfection ability. Nevertheless, this polymer exhibits high cytotoxicity, and current research aims at identifying and developing new polymers with improved cell viability and high gene transfer efficiency. In this context, the aim of this thesis was to develop efficient macromolecular engineering tools to prepare a library of polyvinylamine-containing (co)polymers and to evaluate their performances as DNA carriers. Consequently, free radical polymerization (FRP) and controlled radical polymerization (CRP) have been explored and a series of (co)polyvinylamines, containing primary and secondary amines, as well as vinylimidazole and guanidine moieties, have been synthesized. The transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and cell viability were evaluated on HeLa cells. The influence of different macromolecular parameters such as molar mass, molar mass distribution and composition, was also studied. The most promising polymers for pDNA transfection were also tested for siRNA delivery and on other cell lines. Overall, several polymers were competitive with PEI regarding the transfection efficiency but were much less toxic. (Co)polyvinylamines, which have often been disregarded for transfection purposes, should definitely be considered as valuable gene carriers.

Development of New Bacteria-Reducing SurfacesIllergård, Josefin January 2009 (has links)
<p>In recent years, antibacterial surfaces have been a subject of increased interest. Especiallyinteresting are non-leaching, contact-active surfaces that physically disrupts the bacterialcell using immobilised cationic polymers. Thus the risks of bacterial resistance and discharge of hazardous biocides is minimised. The assembly of such surfaces is elaborate andusually involves organic solvents. Here, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are proposed as an effective surface modification method, with an overall goal of producing antibacterial cellulose fibres. The PEM process is based on physical adsorption of oppositely charged polymers in aqueous solutions. Multilayers were formed with the bactericidal polymer polyvinylamine (PVAm) and polyacrylic acid. PVAm compounds with hydrophobic modificationswere applied as well, as they possess increased antibacterial activity in solution.</p><p>In this work, the multilayer formation was studied on model surfaces of silicone oxide and glass in order to obtain fundamental knowledge of the polymer system. QCM-D and reflectometry, which detect total mass including bound water and polymer mass only, respectively, were used to analyse the layer formation. Salt-concentrations were varied at 1, 10 or 100 mM NaCl. A stepwise multilayer formation with exponential-like polymer adsorption but with decreasing water content for each layer was seen at all salt concentrations.A higher salt concentration resulted in an increased adsorbed mass. No significant differences in adsorption between the modified and unmodified PVAm could be detected. AFM imaging applied to multilayers having nine layers showed large surface aggregates under high salt conditions for the C6-modified PVAm. Dynamic light scattering showed that the polymer occurred as single molecules in solution; hence it was concluded that theaggregation is surface-associated.</p><p>The multilayers were then tested for bacterial growth inhibition. The relative bacterial inhibition was time-dependent, as the surface was saturated with bacteria over time. After two hours, a maximal inhibition of 99 % could be observed for the multilayers. After eight hours, a moderate inhibition of less than 40 % was detected. Using multilayers affected the results positively compared to single layers. After three layers, though, no further reductionwas seen. Viability staining of the surface-adhered bacteria revealed that the adhered bacteria had intact membranes. Therefore, the microbiological properties of the multilayers can at this point be described more as growth-inhibiting by bacterial adhesion effectsthan as biocidal. However, this work has shown the importance of combining surface characterisation and microbial testing to understand the bacteria-surface interaction.</p> / Biointeractive fibres

The creation of antibacterial fibres through physical adsorption of polyelectrolytesIllergård, Josefin January 2012 (has links)
Contact-active antibacterial surfaces with irreversibly attached antibacterial com-pounds are a sustainable alternative to traditional biocides. No chemicals are released into nature and the antibacterial mechanism reduces the risk of the evolution of re-sistant bacteria. However, the preparation of such surfaces is far from sustainable, as organic solvents and harsh reaction conditions commonly are required. An alter-native option is to use polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM), based on physical ad-sorption, which can be performed in water-based solutions at room temperature. Although contact-active antibacterial PEMs have been reported previously, this is the first study of renewable cellulosic wood fibres. The build-up of cationic polymer polyvinylamine (PVAm) and anionic polyacrylic acid (PAA) multilayers on model surfaces was studied to optimise adsorption. The amount of adsorbed polyelectrolytes was continuously growing with increasing number of layers, but remained dense and flat as the number of layers increased. The largest adsorption was obtained at a high salt concentration, which shielded the repulsion between the polymers. Model surfaces were also used to evaluate the influence of the polymer and number of layers on the antibacterial properties. Multilayers on model surfaces showed a low bacteriostatic effect, with up to approximately 40 % inhibition for 3 layers of un-modified PVAm/PAA. In contrast, when the same multilayers were applied on cel-lulosic fibres, bacterial-growth inhibition of > 99.9% was obtained. Hydrophobically modified PVAm did not yield better results, despite being superior in solution. An increase in fibre charge by fibre oxidation led to the largest amount of adsorbed pol-ymer and the best antibacterial properties, an effect that lasted for weeks. Electron microscopy study of bacteria on the fibres showed that the bacteria interacted more on a highly charged surface and that the morphology of the bacterial cell could be affected. The effect was suggested to be due to electrostatic interaction with the pos-itively charged modified fibres. The promising results offer the possibilities of a new generation of antibacterial surfaces based on a renewable resource. / Antibakteriella kontaktaktiva ytor som har ett antibakteriellt ämne permanent fäst på ytan är ett miljövänligt och säkrare alternativ till traditionell biocidanvändning. Inget utsläpp av giftiga ämnen sker från ytorna och detta tillsammans med den anti-bakteriella mekanismen minskar risken för att bakterierna utvecklar resistens. Till-verkningsprocessen i sig har dock hittills varit allt annat än miljövänlig, då den ke-miska modifieringen kräver organiska lösningsmedel och har reaktioner som kräver speciella villkor, t ex höga temperaturer. En alternativ ytmodifiering är att använda sig av fysikalisk adsorption av polyelektrolyter i multiskikt, eftersom detta kan göras i vat-tenlösningar och i rumstemperatur. Det här arbetet är det första som beskriver kon-takt-aktiva multilager på förnyelsebara svedbaserade cellulosafiber. Som ett första steg gjordes en adsorptionsstudie på modellytor för att optimera ad-sorptionen av katjonisk polyvinylamin (PVAm) och anjonisk polyakrylsyra (PAA). Med ökande antal lager ökade totala mängden adsorberad polymer samtidigt som multilagerna förblev platta och täta. Den högsta adsorptionen skedde vid en hög salt-halt som minimerade den elektrostatiska repulsionen mellan polymerkedjorna. Modellytor användes även för att studera hur de antibakteriella egenskaperna påver-kades av polymermodifiering och av antal lager. På dessa ytor uppmättes en låg bakte-riostatisk effekt med upp till 40 % inhibering av bakterietillväxten för tre lager av PVAm./PAA När däremot samma multilager fanns på cellulosafiber ökade in-hiberingen till uppemot 99.9 %. Hydrofobmodifiering av PVAm påverkade inte det antibakteriella resultatet när de var i multilager, trots bevisad ökad verkan i lösning. Genom att via oxidering öka fiberladdningen kunde mängden adsorberad polymer yt-terligare öka och resulterade i en förbättrad antibakteriell verkan som höll i sig i flera veckor. Elektronmikroskopi av bakterier på fiber visade en ökad interaktion med hög-laddade ytor och att bakteriernas cellmorfologi kan påverkas av ytorna.Den observerade antibakteriella effekten föreslås vara en följd av elektrostatisk inter-aktion mellan de negativt laddade bakterierna och positivt laddade modifierade fibrena. Resultaten är lovande och banar väg för nya kontakt-aktiva antibakteriella material. / Biointeractive fibres with antibacterial properties

MICROGEL BASED ADHESIVES FOR WET PAPER STRENGTHWEN, QUAN 04 1900 (has links)
<p>The interactions of microgel based adhesives with cellulose were studied by peel test of cellulose laminates and tensile test of handsheets. The objective of this project was to create design rules for microgel based adhesives so as to improve the wet paper strength. Colloidal microgel based adhesives were formed by coating carboxylated poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels with polyvinylamine (PVAm). The characterization of the microgel base adhesives were performed by electrophoretic mobilities, dynamic light scattering, and potentiometric titration. The microgel based adhesives were pH sensitive and their swelling behaviour was related to the composition of PVAm in the microgels. The maximum amount of PVAm binding to microgels depends on the location of charges in the microgels and the molecular weight of PVAm. The binding process of PVAm to microgels was monitored by quartz crystal microbalance measurements. It is proposed that the binding of PVAm to microgels is controlled by the rate of initial attachment of PVAm and the rate of reconfiguration of PVAm on the microgels. The microgel based adhesives were laminated between oxidized cellulose films and the wet adhesion of microgel based adhesives with cellulose was studied by a 90° peel test. The wet delamination force was measured as a function of PVAm content, PVAm molecular weight, coverage of adhesives on cellulose films, size of adhesives, stiffness of adhesives and the roughness of cellulose films. The wet adhesion of microgel based adhesives with cellulose increased with PVAm content in the microgels, and decreased with microgel stiffness. The molecular weight of PVAm did not influence the performance of adhesives. The effect of microgel size on wet adhesion with cellulose was related to the roughness of cellulose films. Larger microgels did fill the voids between rough cellulose films to create more contact area with these films resulting in higher wet adhesion. By contrast, for smooth cellulose films, the size of microgels didn’t affect the wet adhesion. Finally, this basic research was extended to a practical situation. The microgel based adhesives were added to unbeaten, bleached softwood pulp to prepare handsheets and their ability to enhance wet paper strength was evaluated by tensile test. The wet paper strength increased with PVAm content of the microgels. For linear PVAm, high molecular weight PVAm was more effective as a wet strength adhesive while for PVAm coated microgels, the molecular weight was not significant for wet paper strength. With the aid of PVAm coating, solid carboxylated polystyrene particles improved the wet paper strength. However the wet strength of paper treated with PVAm coated microgels was larger than that treated with PVAm coated polystyrene by a factor of 2.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Wet Adhesion of Polyvinylamine to CelluloseDiFlavio, John-Louis 04 1900 (has links)
<p>A systematic investigation of Polyvinylamine (PVAm) as a strength-enhancing polymer for wet paper was undertaken through the development of a new test method that simulates the influence of polymers on fibre-fibre bonding in paper. Pairs of wet regenerated cellulose membranes were laminated using the paper strength-enhancing polymer as the lamination adhesive. The resulting laminates served as a physical model for fibre-fibre bonds in paper and the wet laminate strength was determined by ninety degree peeling experiments. Key experimental parameters and sources of error were identified.</p> <p>The mechanism of PVAm paper wet strength enhancement was explored by the wet cellulose delamination procedure. Initial results showed that PVAm was a poor wet adhesive for cellulose unless the cellulose was lightly oxidized. The adhesion was found to be a strong function of the concentration of amine and of the cellulose oxidation products. This led to the hypothesis that there are two mechanism in action; the first being the well-accepted electrostatic bonding theories and the second being covalent bond formation between acetal/hemi-acetals/aldehydes and the amine.</p> <p>A thorough investigation of the surface chemistry and morphology was conducted to confirm the hypothesis of covalent bond formation between aldehydes and amines. Oxidized regenerated cellulose was laminated with PVAm and the peeled surfaces analyzed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). It was shown that the wet delamination force correlated to the acetal/hemi-acetal/alehyde surface concentration. It was concluded that the delamination force would be increased by a cumulative strengthening of both the cellulose surface and adhesive interface.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Spectroelectrochemistry of Substituted AnilinesJbarah, Abdel Aziz 24 November 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Die Elektrochemie und die Spektroelektrochemie von Nitroanilinen (ortho-, meta- und para- Isomere)
und deren entsprechenden Diaminoverbindungen (ortho-, meta- und para-Phenylendiamin)
wurden an zwei verschiedenen Elektroden (Platin und Gold) und in zwei Elektrolytlösungen (saure
und neutrale Perchloratlösung) untersucht. Die erhaltenen Messergebnisse wurden als Referenz für
die spektroelektrochemische Untersuchung von Polyvinylaminen mit o- oder p-
Nitroanilinsubstituenten verwendet. Es wurden außerdem spektroelektrochemische Untersuchungen
mit anderen Polyvinylaminen, die das Wurster Kationradikal oder Stilbene als Substituenten
enthalten, durchgeführt.
Die oxidative und reduktive Elektrochemie von drei Nitroanilinisomeren wurde in neutraler (0.1 M
KClO4) und saurer (0.1 M HClO4) wässriger Elektrolytlösung mit zyklischer Voltammetrie und
oberflächenverstärkter Ramanspektroskopie (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy SERS) untersucht.
Die zyklischen Voltammogramme, die mit einer Goldelektrode in saurer Elektrolytlösung
für o- und p-Nitroanilin aufgezeichnet wurden, zeigten die Bildung von o- und p-Phenylendiamin
beim Potenzialdurchlauf in kathodischer Richtung. In neutraler Elektrolytlösung ist die Situation
anders und die Endprodukte der elektrochemischen Reduktion dieser Isomere sind o- und p-
Amino-N-phenylhydroxylamin. Aus den zyklischen Voltammogrammen, die mit Gold- und Platinelektroden
bei anodischem Potenzialdurchlauf für diese Isomere in saurer und neutraler Elektrolytlösung
aufgezeichnet wurden, erhält man folgende Reihenfolge für die Lage der Oxidationspotentiale
m-Nitroanilin > p-Nitroanilin > o-Nitroanilin. Eine Sauerstoff-Gold-Adsorbat-
Streckschwingung wurde zwischen 400 und 430 cm-1 in den SER-Spektren der drei isomeren Nitroaniline
in beiden Elektrolytlösungen bei positiven Elektrodenpotenzialen beobachtet. Das SERS-Experiment
zeigte auch eine senkrechte Orientierung der adsorbierten Nitroaniline zur Oberfläche
der Goldelektrode. Für die isomeren Phenylendiamine wurde in beiden Elektrolytlösungen und mit
beiden Elektroden im anodischen Durchlauf das gleiche Verhalten beobachtet. Das beim Ein-
Elektronenübergang erhaltene Oxidationsprodukt (Radikalkation) reagiert im Fall von o- und m-
Phenylendiamin über eine C-N-Kopplung mit einem weiteren Radikal zum Dimer (1.Schritt der
Elektropolymerisation). p-Phenylendiamin wird nach dem ECE-Mechanismus (E = Elektronentransfer,
C = chemische Reaktion) oxidiert, wobei die Ladungsübertragung in zwei Schritten erfolgt,
gekoppelt mit Säure-Base-Reaktionen, was zur Bildung des Diimin führt. Aus den SERS-Messungen
kann man schlussfolgern, dass m- und p-Phenylendiamin waagerecht zur Metalloberfläche
über den Benzenring und die Stickstoffatome adsorbiert sind. Die Adsorption von o-Phenylendiamin erfolgt über die Stickstoffatome und mit schräger Orientierung zur Metalloberfläche.
Die zyklischen Voltammogramme, die mit einer Goldelektrode in saurer und neutraler Elektrolytlösung
von den Polyvinylaminen mit Nitroanilinsubstituenten aufgenommen wurden, zeigen dasselbe
Verhalten wie Nitroanilinmonomere beim Potenzialdurchlauf in kathodischer Richtung. Die
für diese Polymere im anodischen Durchlauf erhaltenen Zyklovoltammogramme unterscheiden
sich von denen für die Monomere. Die Zahl der Adsorptionsplätze und die Adsorptionsstärke der
Polyvinylamine verändern sich in Abhängigkeit vom Elektrodenpotential, vom Prozentsatz und der
Art des aromatischen Substituenten am Polymerrückgrat und vom pH-Wert der Lösung. / The electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of nitroanilines (ortho, meta, and
para isomers) and their respective amino compounds (ortho-, meta- and paraphenylenediamines)
have been investigated at two different electrodes (platinum and gold)
and in two different electrolyte solutions (acidic and neutral perchlorate). The results of
these investigations were used as a reference for the spectroelectrochemistry of polyvinylamines
containing o- or p-nitroaniline substituents. Spectroelectrochemical investigations
of polyvinylamine containing Wurster radical cation or stilbene as a substituent were also
carried out.
The oxidative and reductive electrochemistry of the three isomeric nitroanilines has
been studied in neutral (0.1 M KClO4) and acidic (0.1 M HClO4) aqueous electrolyte solutions
with cyclic voltammetry and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). The
cyclic voltammograms recorded with a gold electrode in acidic electrolyte solution showed
formation of o- and p-phenylenediamine in the negative going potential scan for o- and pnitroaniline
respectively. In neutral electrolyte solution the situation is different and the final
products of electrochemical reduction of these isomers are o- and p-amino-Nphenylhydroxylamine.
The order of increasing electrochemical oxidation potential is mnitroaniline
> p-nitroaniline > o-nitroaniline as observed from cyclic voltammograms recorded
with a gold and platinum electrodes and in the positive going potentials scan for
these isomers in acidic and neutral electrolyte solutions. An oxygen-gold adsorbate stretching
mode was detected between 400 to 430 cm-1 in SER-spectra of the three isomeric nitroanilines
in both electrolyte solutions at positive electrode potentials. The SERS experiments
showed also a perpendicular orientation of adsorbed nitroanilines on a gold electrode
with respect to the metal surface.
General trends are observed in the anodic scans of isomeric phenylenediamines at both
electrodes and in both electrolyte solutions. The one-electron electrochemical oxidation
product (radical cation) in case of o- and m-phenylenediamine go into fast C-N coupling
between radicals to form dimers (the first step of electropolymerization). The pphenylenediamine
is oxidized according to an ECE mechanism (E = electron transfer reaction,
C = chemical reaction), which involved two charge transfer steps coupled with acidbase
reactions to form diimine. As we deduced from SERS measurements, m- and p-phenylenediamine
adsorbed in flat orientation with respect to the metal surface via benzene
ring and nitrogen atoms, respectively. o-Phenylenediamine adsorption is taking place via
nitrogen atoms and with tilted orientation with respect to the metal surface.
The cyclic voltammograms recorded with a gold electrode in acidic and neutral electrolyte
solutions of polyvinylamines containing o- or p-nitroaniline substituents exhibit the
same features like nitroaniline monomers in the negative going potentials scan. The result
observed in the anodic scan for these polymers are different from those observed for monomers.
Adsorption site and strength of the polyvinylamine polymer varies according to the
applied electrode potential, percentage and type of the aromatic substituent at the polymer
backbone, and the pH of the medium.

Galactose Modified Polyvinylamine, a New Class of Water Soluble PolymersMokhtari, Hajir 04 1900 (has links)
<p>Synthetic carbohydrate carrying polymers have gained substantial attention recently due to their biocompatibility and their wide range of applications such as targeted drug delivery systems, gene therapy and cell-specific biomedical materials. The overall objective of this research is to develop novel carbohydrate bearing polymers through modification of polyvinylamine (PVAm) backbone with galactose groups and to discover potential applications for this new category of glycopolymers.</p> <p>PVAm-g-galactose (PVAm-GAL) with various molecular weights and grafting extents were prepared and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and potentiometric and conductometric titration. Bonding of PVAm-GAL with phenylboronic acid modified PVAm (PVAm-PBA) and phenylboronate modified surfaces were studied on a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). Multilayer assembly of alternating layers of PVAm-GAL and PVA-PBA was formed on the silica sensor.</p> <p>Interaction of PVAm-GAL with RCA<sub>120</sub> lectin, a galactose specific protein, was studied on a silica sensor using QCM-D. Galactose binding proteins are overexpressed in hepatocyte and have been widely exploited for targeting the liver tissue with the help of galactosylated polymeric carriers. RCA<sub>120 </sub>lectin shows spontaneous adsorption on galactose rich surfaces obtained by the adsorption of PVAm-GAL on silica sensors. Association constant of the interaction was calculated . Effect of pretreatment with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also examined.</p> <p>Cationic polymers can form polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) with negatively charged DNA, resulting in formation of nano-sized complexes for gene delivery purposes. PECs based on PVAm-GAL and different DNA samples were prepared and their physicochemical properties were investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic mobility measurements. Furthermore, PVAm-GAL was studied as coating for Ca-alginate beads which are widely used for cell encapsulation purposes. PVAm-GAL can strengthen the capsule’s surface and increase the physicochemical stability of the beads against chemical degradations. PVAm-GAL coated alginate beads successfully survived treatment with sodium citrate and high ionic strength solutions.</p> / Master of Applied Science (MASc)
