ABSTRACT
Immunoregulatory polysaccharides from probiotic bacteria have potential in biomedical engineering. Here, a negatively charged exopolysaccharide from Bifidobacterium longum with confirmed immunoregulatory activity (EPS624) was applied in multilayered polyelectrolyte coatings with positively charged chitosan. EPS624 and coatings (1, 5, and 10 layers and alginate-substituted) were characterized by the zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, size exclusion chromatography, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) and fibroblasts were exposed for 1, 3, 7, and 10 days with cytokine secretion, viability, and morphology as observations. The coatings showed an increased rugosity and exponential growth mode with an increasing number of layers. A dose/layer-dependent IL-10 response was observed in hPBMCs, which was greater than EPS624 in solution and was stable over 7 days. Fibroblast culture revealed no toxicity or metabolic change after exposure to EPS624. The EPS624 polyelectrolyte coatings are cytocompatible, have immunoregulatory properties, and may be suitable for applications in biomedical engineering.
