Abstract:

Thermo-responsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) were successfully obtained by inverse transition cycling (ITC) and recursive directional ligation (RDL). Six ELPs displayed thermal properties, depending on their sequence and chain length. It was found that the ELP[KV8F-4 and ELP[KV8F-8 were effective as thermosensitive materials at the body temperature with phase transition temperature from 35 to 45oC.

Abstract:

Diblock copolymers based-on elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) have the potential to undergo specific phase transitions when thermally stimulated. This ability is especially suitable to form carriers, micellar structures for instance, for delivering active cargo molecules. Here, we report the design and study of an ELP diblock library based on ELP-[M1V3-i]-[I-j]. First, ELP-[M1V3-i]-[I-j] (i = 20, 40, 60; j = 20, 90) that showed a similar self-assembly propensity (unimer-to-aggregate transition) as their related monoblocks ELP-[M1V3-i] and ELP-[I-j].

Abstract:

To increase treatment efficiency for glioblastoma, we have developed a system to selectively deliver chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (Dox) to Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors. This carrier is based on elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), which is soluble at physiological temperatures but undergoes a phase transition and accumulates at tumor sites with externally applied, mild (40–41 °C) hyperthermia. The CPP-ELP-Dox conjugate consists of a cell penetrating peptide (CPP), which facilitates transcytosis through the blood brain barrier and cell entry, and a 6-maleimidocaproyl hydrazone derivative of doxorubicin

Abstract:

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are well known for their elastic and thermoresponsive behaviors. Their elasticity originates from the formation of a β-spiral which is the consequence of stacking type-II β-turns, formed from individual VPGVG pentapeptide units. Here, the synthesis of ELPs of varying chain lengths [VPGVG, (VPGVG)2, and (VPGVG)4] and their coupling to a mechanoresponsive catalyst are reported. The attached ELP chains can act as “molecular springs,” allowing for an efficient uptake and transmission of an applied force to the mechanophoric bond. This leads to stress-induced activa

Design strategies can equip ELPs with the ability to respond to changes in temperature and pH or the capacity to self-assemble into nanoparticles.

The 23 amino acid-long extracellular domain of the influenza virus transmembrane protein M2 (M2e) has remained highly conserved since the 1918 pandemic, and is thus considered a good candidate for development of a universal influenza A vaccine. However, M2e is poorly immunogenic. In this study we assessed the potential of increasing immunogenicity of M2e by constructing a nanoscale-designed protein polymer containing the M2e sequence and an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) nanodomain consisting of alanine and tyrosine guest residues (ELP(A2YA2)24). The ELP nanodomain was included to increase ant

Abstract:

Introduction. Elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) supplementation was previously reported to enhance the physical properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ELP supplementation on the bonding properties of MTA to dentin. Methods. Two types of ELPs were synthesized and mixed with MTA in a 0.3 liquid/powder ratio. The push-out bond strength test and interfacial observation with scanning electron microscopy were performed for ELP-supplemented MTA. The porosity of MTA fillings in the cavity was observed with microcomputed tomography. The stick

Abstract:

Regenerative medicine using stem cells offers promising strategies for treating a variety of degenerative diseases. Regulation of stem cell behavior and rejuvenate senescence are required for stem cells to be clinically effective. The extracellular matrix (ECM) components have a significant impact on the stem cell’s function and fate mimicking the local environment to maintain cells or generate a distinct phenotype. Here, human elastin-like polypeptide-based ECM-mimic biopolymer was designed by incorporating various cell-adhesion ligands, such as RGD and YIGSR. The significant effects of bioac

Abstract:

In the healing of wounds, human-like collagen (hCol) is essential. However, collagen-based composite dressings have poor stability in vivo, which severely limits their current therapeutic potential. Based on the above, we have developed a recombinant fusion protein named hCol-ELP, which consists of hCol and an elastin-like peptide (ELP). Then, we examined the physicochemical and biological properties of hCol-ELP. The results indicated that the stability of the hCol-ELP fusion protein exhibited a more compact and homogeneous lamellar microstructure along with collagen properties, it was found t

This study aimed to probe the effect of formulation of scaffolds prepared using collagen and elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) and their resulting physico-chemical and mechanical properties on the adipogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs). Six different ELP-collagen scaffolds were prepared by varying the collagen concentration (2 and 6 mg/mL), ELP addition (6 mg/mL), or crosslinking of the scaffolds. FTIR spectroscopy indicated secondary bonding interactions between collagen and ELP, while scanning electron microscopy revealed a porous structure for all scaffolds. Inc

Abstract:

Soybean seeds show great potential as a safe and cost-effective host for the large-scale production of biopharmaceuticals and industrially important macromolecules. However, the yields of desired recombinant proteins in soybean seeds are usually lower than the economic threshold for their potential commercialization. Our previous study demonstrated that polypeptide fusion such as maize γ-zein or elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) could significantly increase the accumulation of foreign proteins. In the present study, a recombination strategy of polypeptide fusions (γ-zein or ELP) and suppression o

This paper reports the development of a highly crosslinked hyper-branched polyglycerol (HPG) polymer bound to elastin-like proteins (ELPs) to create a membrane that undergoes a distinct closed-to-open permeation transition at 32 °C. The crosslinked HPG forms a robust, mesoporous structure (150–300 nm pores), suitable for selective filtration. The membranes were characterized by FTIR, UV–visible spectroscopy, SEM, and AFM, revealing their structural and morphological properties.

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro adipocyte models provide physiologically relevant platforms for studying adipogenesis and obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. However, long-term adipocyte culture is often hindered by limited cell–matrix adhesion and spheroid detachment. Previously, we demonstrated that elastin-like polypeptide (ELP)–polyethyleneimine (PEI) coatings functionalized with a trivalent RGD motif enhanced spheroid retention during frequent media changes. The present study investigates the long-term functional consequences of RGD incorporation over a 28-day culture period. 3T3-L1 pr

African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most severe diseases caused by the ASF virus (ASFV), causing massive economic losses to the global pig industry. Serological tests are important in ASF epidemiological surveillance, and more antigen targets are needed to meet market demand for ASFV antibody detection. In the present study, ASFV p15 protein was fusion-expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) with elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), and the ELP-p15 protein was purified using a simple inverse transition cycling (ITC) process.

The M protein, a largest envelope protein of PEDV, is highly conserved and plays a crucial role in virus assembly as well as in inducing the production of virus-neutralizing antibodies in the presence of complement.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in cancer immunotherapy except for GBM, which is largerly due to its local immunosuppressive microenvironment. Some research has demonstrated that local immunotherapy may be more efficient than systematic administrators. IFNα has been investigated as antitumor agent for some cancers, including glioma. Nevertheless, the short circulating half-life greatly limits its clinical application. Hence, a thermoresponsi
