Abstract

- Hydrogels are powerful materials that more accurately mimic the cellular microenvironment over static two-dimensional culture. Photochemical strategies enable dynamic complexity to be achieved within hydrogels to better mimic the extracellular matrix; however, many photochemical systems to pattern proteins within hydrogels are complicated by long reaction times to immobilize these proteins wherein the protein can lose activity. As proof-of-concept, we demonstrate an elegant method where photocaged proteins are immobilized in hydrogels and then directly photoactivated. Specifically, we immobilized streptavidin-ortho-nitrobenzyl-modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) to cross-linked hyaluronan hydrogels and cultured two EGF-responsive cancer cells of breast and lung therein. We used light to temporally uncage and control EGF activation, thereby inducing cell death in breast cancer cells and proliferation in lung cancer cells. These results show how temporal, photochemical, protein activation influences cellular response and lays the foundation for further advances in manipulating the in vitro environment to control cell fate.
