Its medical use, however, requires both biocompatibility and suitable physico-chemical and surface properties. The microstructure, electrical properties, and surface characteristics of polyaniline salt, polyaniline base, and polyaniline deposited with biologically active poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) were revealed using atomic force microscopy, contact angle measurements, and Raman spectroscopy. As conducting polymers can be preferentially applied in tissue engineering of heart and nervous tissues, the cardiomyogenesis in pure cardiomyocytes derived from embryonic stem cells and neurogenesis in neural progenitors isolated from embryonal 13 dpc brain were further investigated. The results show that neither cardiomyogenesis nor neurogenesis were influenced by any of the tested polyaniline films. However, the most favorable cell behaviour was observed on pristine polyaniline base; therefore, polyaniline in pristine forms without any further modification can be applied in a variety of biomedical fields.</p></div><hr/> <h2 id="sect324"><span class="a_heading">1. Introduction</span></h2> <span>It is well known that different polyaniline forms (emeraldine salt and base) and their copolymers or blends exhibit different favourable properties such as electrical conductivity and its persistence at various pH. The unique properties of polyaniline make it possible to apply this polymer in biosensors or materials influencing cell behavior through electrical fields.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit1"><sup><span class="sup_ref">1</span></sup></a> An electrical field can, for example, stimulate the regeneration of nervous and muscle tissues,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit2"><sup><span class="sup_ref">2</span></sup></a> wound healing in skin,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit3"><sup><span class="sup_ref">3</span></sup></a> or bone repair.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit4"><sup><span class="sup_ref">4</span></sup></a></span> <p class="otherpara">More recently, the impact of electrical stimuli on cell differentiation and molecular cell parameters has also been revealed. For example, Hsiao <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit5"><sup><span class="sup_ref">5</span></sup></a> described the application of composite nanofibers of polyaniline and poly(lactic-<span class="italic">co</span>-glycolic acid) as an electrically active scaffold for coordinating the beating of cardiomyocytes. Another exciting use of conducting polymers in the electrical stimulation of cells is to induce the pre-commitment of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit6"><sup><span class="sup_ref">6</span></sup></a> neurite growth, and the migration of rodent neural stem cells,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit7"><sup><span class="sup_ref">7</span></sup></a> as well as the stimulation of myoblast differentiation.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit8"><sup><span class="sup_ref">8</span></sup></a> Recently, nanofibers fabricated through the electrospinning of polyaniline blended with poly(<span class="small_caps">L</span>-lactic acid) were reported to show potential for adipose-derived stem cell proliferation.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit9"><sup><span class="sup_ref">9</span></sup></a> It is therefore obvious that conducting polymers in general and polyaniline in particular are promising materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, information about cell compatibility of polyaniline is still insufficient and only a limited picture of the biological performance of this polymer exists. Although there are a number of <span class="italic">in vivo</span> studies which have focused on the implantability and post-implant evaluation of polyaniline copolymers (mainly with biodegradable polymers), there are only a few examples of <span class="italic">in vitro</span> studies focusing on the cell compatibility of polyaniline in pristine form. In addition, different cells and methods of polyaniline preparation were used in these studies. For example, the compatibility of thin films prepared from saturated solutions of polyaniline in <span class="italic">N</span>-methyl-2-pyrrolidone with H9c2 cardiac myoblasts was studied by Bidez <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit10"><sup><span class="sup_ref">10</span></sup></a> In two other works published by Wang <span class="italic">et al.</span>,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit11"><sup><span class="sup_ref">11</span></sup></a> PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells were used. Polyaniline doped with different acids was studied by Wang <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit11"><sup><span class="sup_ref">11</span></sup></a> while polyaniline film fabricated <span class="italic">via</span> electroless surface polymerization was employed in the study of Liu <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit12"><sup><span class="sup_ref">12</span></sup></a> Finally, Bayer <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit13"><sup><span class="sup_ref">13</span></sup></a> used the NIH/3T3 cell line to investigate cytotoxicity and proliferation of cells on a polyaniline template synthesized with poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA).</p> <p class="otherpara">One of the considerable advantages of polyaniline consists in its ability to easily form thin films on <span class="italic">e.g.</span> nanostructure materials,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit14"><sup><span class="sup_ref">14</span></sup></a> which can be further modified using various dopants with the aim of changing their surface properties. Among such dopant substances, synthetic polyanions have been observed to exhibit interesting biological properties. Namely, PAMPSA was shown to act against blood clotting in a similar way to heparin, either alone<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit15"><sup><span class="sup_ref">15</span></sup></a> or incorporated in copolymers.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit16"><sup><span class="sup_ref">16</span></sup></a> Setoyama <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit17"><sup><span class="sup_ref">17</span></sup></a> also reported that PAMPSA is capable of inhibiting the activation of serum complement activity. Humpolíček <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit18"><sup><span class="sup_ref">18</span></sup></a> revealed that PANI-PAMPSA possesses significant impact on blood coagulation and platelet adhesion.

Hence, a study describing stem cell adhesion and differentiation on pristine polyaniline was conducted and the results were compared to corresponding tests run on polyaniline films modified with PAMPSA.</p> <h2 id="sect374"><span class="a_heading">2. Experimental</span></h2> <h3 id="sect377"><span class="b_heading">2.1. Preparation of polyaniline films</span></h3> <span>Tissue culture dishes (TPP; Switzerland) were coated <span class="italic">in situ</span> with films of polyaniline salt (PANI-S) prepared <span class="italic">via</span> the oxidation of aniline hydrochloride with ammonium peroxydisulfate. Aniline hydrochloride (2.59 g; Lach-ner; Czech Republic) was dissolved in water to a 50 mL solution; ammonium peroxydisulfate (5.71 g; Sigma-Aldrich; US) was similarly dissolved to a 50 mL solution. Both solutions were mixed at room temperature and immediately poured into the culture dishes.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit22"><sup><span class="sup_ref">22</span></sup></a> After 1 h, the dishes were emptied and the films of green conducting PANI-S deposited on their walls were rinsed with 0.2 M hydrochloric acid, followed by methanol, and left to dry in air. Some films were deprotonated by immersion in 1 M ammonium hydroxide for 12 h and thus converted to blue, non-conducting films of polyaniline base (PANI-B).</span> <p class="otherpara">In order to prepare PANI doped with poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PANI-PAMPSA), the re-protonation of PANI-B with a 7.5% (v/v) aqueous solution of PAMPSA (typical molecular weight <span class="italic">M</span> = 2 × 10<small><sup>6</sup></small> g mol<small><sup>−1</sup></small>; Sigma-Aldrich; US) was performed by pouring the PAMPSA solution onto the surface of the PANI-B film. The reaction was left to proceed for 24 h, then the residual PAMPSA solution was poured out and the film was rinsed with methanol and left to dry in air.</p> <h3 id="sect388"><span class="b_heading">2.2. Surface energy</span></h3> <span>Contact angle measurements and determination of surface energy were conducted with the aid of the “SEE system” (surface energy evaluation system) (Advex Instruments, Czech Republic). For polyaniline samples, deionized water, ethylene glycol, and diiodomethane (Sigma-Aldrich; US) were used as testing liquids. The droplet volume of the testing liquids was set to 2 μL in all experiments. Ten separate readings were averaged to obtain one representative contact angle value. Using these data, the substrate surface free energy was determined by the “acid–base” method.</span> <h3 id="sect392"><span class="b_heading">2.3. Atomic force microscopy</span></h3> <span>For determination of topographic and surface electrical properties, tunneling atomic force microscopy (AFM) was performed using the PeakForce TUNA module on Dimension ICON (Bruker Corporation; US). Measurements were conducted under laboratory conditions (temperature and atmosphere). The PFTUNA probe (Bruker Corporation; US) with a spring constant of 0.4 N m<small><sup>−1</sup></small>, covered on both sides with a conductive Pt/Ir layer, was used. The scanning rate was 0.3 Hz and the peak currents were measured with a 200 mV bias voltage applied to all the examined samples. The peak current signal was determined by Point analysis using NanoScope Analysis software v.1.5. The resulting peak current signal was calculated from the point measurements and expressed as the current value detected at more than 90% of the measuring points. The surface roughness was determined using both the arithmetic average of the absolute values of surface height deviations measured from the mean plane (<span class="italic">R</span><small><sub>a</sub></small>) and the image surface area difference, which is the difference between the images of a three-dimensional surface area and a two-dimensional projected surface area.

Raman spectroscopy</span></h3> <span>Raman spectra of the films deposited on silicon windows were measured with a Renishaw InVia Reflex Raman microspectrometer. The spectra were excited with a HeNe 633 nm laser. A research-grade Leica DM LM microscope with an objective magnification 50× was used to focus the laser beam on the sample placed on an X–Y motorized sample stage. The scattered light was analyzed by the spectrograph with holographic grating 1800 lines. A Peltier-cooled CCD detector (576 × 384 pixels) registered the dispersed light. To avoid degradation of the samples by the laser beam, a reduced beam power has always been used.</span> <h3 id="sect403"><span class="b_heading">2.5. Cardiomyocytes adhesion</span></h3> <span>Prior to <span class="italic">in vitro</span> testing, the samples were disinfected by 30 min of exposure to a UV-radiation source operating at a wavelength of 258 nm emitted from a low-pressure mercury lamp. The adhesion of <span class="italic">in vitro</span> prepared cardiomyocytes was assessed using the following procedure. For the preparation of a cardiomyocyte population of high purity, R1 ESC cells<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit23"><sup><span class="sup_ref">23</span></sup></a> were transfected by an MHC promotor-dependent selection vector defined by Klug <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit24"><sup><span class="sup_ref">24</span></sup></a> (kind gift of Dr Field, L. J.). Selected clones with successfully transfected selection vector, were screened for the possibility of cardiomyogenesis and cardiomyocyte isolation. Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (referred as “complete DMEM media”) containing 15% fetal calf serum, 100 U mL<small><sup>−1</sup></small> penicillin, 0.1 mg mL<small><sup>−1</sup></small> streptomycin, 100 mM non-essential amino acids (all from Gibco-Invitrogen; US), 0.05 mM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich; US) and 1000 U mL<small><sup>−1</sup></small> of leukemia inhibitory factor (Chemicon; US) was used for the cultivation. Selected clone HG8 was used for preparation of cardiomyocyte. Cardiomyogenesis of HG8 was induced by elimination of leukemia inhibitory factor from cultivation media and by the formation of embryoid bodies (EBs) prepared in suspension culture of ESC cells using agar-coated bacteriological dishes.<a title="Select to navigate to reference" href="#cit25"><sup><span class="sup_ref">25,26</span></sup></a> From day 14 of differentiation, G418 antibiotics were added to the culture media for a period of six days to select pure cardiomyocyte population. Cardiomyocyte identity was proved by detection the presence of myofibrils using mouse monoclonal antibodies against sarcomeric α-actinin, (Sigma-Aldrich), and followed by secondary antibody (anti-mouse conjugated to FITC, Sigma-Aldrich; <a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig4">Fig. 4</a>). In the next step, the culture was treated by 0.1% collagenase II for 30 minutes at 37 °C. The cell suspension was mixed by intensive pipetting, and cardiomyocyte clusters were purified from dead cell debris by spontaneous sedimentation, washed, re-suspended in media, and seeded into reference tissue culture dishes and onto all tested polyaniline surfaces. Four different conditions for HG8 cell adhesion were tested: (A) adhesion on the polyaniline surfaces without coating; (B) adhesion on the polyaniline surfaces coated with 0.1% gelatin; and (A) and (B) cultivated either in (C) serum-free medium (without fetal calf serum) or (D) DMEM-F12 media supplemented by insulin–transferrin–selenium (Gibco-Invitrogen; US) referred to here as “ITS media”.

Considering roughness in terms of the <span class="italic">R</span><small><sub>a</sub></small> parameter (<a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig1">Fig. 1</a>), the results show that only small, insignificant differences can be detected among PANI-B (25 nm) and PANI-PAMPSA (21 nm). In contrast, PANI-S exhibited a significantly rougher surface (45 nm) compared to the previously mentioned samples and also the highest image surface area difference, which was 42%. The image surface area differences of remaining samples, correspondingly to <span class="italic">R</span><small><sub>a</sub></small> values, were lower, that is 24% for PANI-B and 15% for PANI-PAMPSA. Previously, Wang <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit11"><sup><span class="sup_ref">11</span></sup></a> hypothesized that the nano-scale morphology of polyaniline films might have an impact on cell adhesion; however the differences in cell adhesion determined in the current work do not corroborate their assumption. The surface roughness observed on PANI-S, PANI-B and PANI-PAMPSA films in this study was too uniform to have any significant impact on cell adhesion. Considering the uniformity of all polyaniline films in terms of their thickness (125 ± 9 nm), which originates from their chemical structure,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit22"><sup><span class="sup_ref">22</span></sup></a> it can be assumed that surface topography is not a key factor controlling cell adhesion or proliferation on these surfaces. Surface chemistry can therefore be regarded as a more important factor in polyaniline/cell interactions.</span> <p class="otherpara">In contrast to roughness, bigger differences between the samples were detected in terms of their electrical properties. The peak current signal at a bias voltage of 200 mV showed that more than 90% of measured values were found to be higher than 1120 ± 10 for PANI-S, 0.38 ± 0.01 for PANI-B and 210 ± 1 for PANI-PAMPSA (in pA). Thus PANI-B possessed the lowest current signal and for the remaining samples the current signal further increased in the order PANI-PAMPSA and PANI-S. Although the AFM based electrical properties are not, in numerical values, possible to compare with the conductivity values measured on the corresponding materials by the van der Pauw method, they are in good agreement with respect to their classifying in terms of the most and less conducing samples.</p> <h3 id="sect655"><span class="b_heading">3.3.

Cardiomyocytes adhesion</span></h3> <span>The potential of cardiomyocytes prepared <span class="italic">in vitro</span> from ESC to colonize on PANI-S, PANI-B and PANI-PAMPSA surfaces was determined under different experimental conditions. Isolated cardiomyocytes represent clusters of beating cells consisting of approximately 5–20 cells per cluster. The results show that cardiomyocytes were not able to adhere when cultivated in ITS media (without FCS), either on native or gelatin-coated polyaniline surfaces. After changing the cell culture medium to complete DMEM (with FCS), the cells successfully adhered on both a gelatinized or native polyaniline surfaces and the first clusters were observed 24 h after seeding on the gelatin coated surface. The influence of the FCS presence in the growth medium on adhesion of cardiomyocytes was also reported by Curtis and Forrester<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit32"><sup><span class="sup_ref">32</span></sup></a> who described their identical behavior. Micrographs (<a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig5">Fig. 5</a>) of cardiomyocytes on the gelatin-coated surfaces illustrate successful adhesion of the cells on the reference, PANI-S, and PANI-B and its absence on PANI-PAMPSA. It can be concluded that the ability of cells to adhere to polyaniline surfaces depended on the presence of fetal calf serum in the medium and surface coating by gelatin. In the case of the reference, the presence of fetal calf serum caused it to perform more favorably compared to gelatin coating.</span> <br/><div class="image_table"><table><tr><td colspan="3" class="imgHolder" id="imgfig5"><a href="/image/article/2015/RA/c5ra12218j/c5ra12218j-f5_hi-res.gif" title="Select to open image in new window" onclick="open(this.href, "_blank", "toolbar=1,scrollbars=yes,resizable=1"); return false;"><img alt="image file: c5ra12218j-f5.tif" src="/image/article/2015/RA/c5ra12218j/c5ra12218j-f5.gif"/></a></td></tr><tr><td class="pushTitleRight"> </td><td class="image_title"><b>Fig. 5 </b> <span id="fig5"><span class="graphic_title">Cardiomyocyte adhesion on polyaniline (selected from ESC clone HG8).

In addition, the spreading of cardiomyocytes occurred on the reference, and cells were compactly adhered. Later on, such spreading was also observed on PANI-B (day 9 after seeding). Although during the two-week cultivation period many cardiomyocytes also adhered to PANI-S and PANI-PAMPSA, no spreading of cells was observed on these surfaces. The adhesion and proliferation of H9c2 cardiac myoblasts on polyaniline films prepared from saturated solutions of polyaniline in <span class="italic">N</span>-methyl-2-pyrrolidone were studied by Bidez <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit10"><sup><span class="sup_ref">10</span></sup></a> Irrespective of the fact that the initial cell adhesion was somewhat reduced, it was reported that the overall rate of cell proliferation was similar to a control and, after six days, the cells on the polyaniline surface formed a uniform, homogenous monolayer. Although, it is difficult to generalize results from one cell type to another, the results of Bidez <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit10"><sup><span class="sup_ref">10</span></sup></a> support the findings of the present work regarding PANI-B sample. Polyaniline is a material whose biocompatibility can crucially depend on the used dopant acids, as they can influence the leaching of toxic substances, and the surface characteristics of the sample. Investigation of this factor was conducted by Wang <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit11"><sup><span class="sup_ref">11</span></sup></a> In their work, polyaniline films were prepared by polymerizing deposition <span class="italic">in situ</span> with four different acids followed by casting onto the surface of a polytetrafluoroethylene substrate. Perchloric, hydrochloric, malic, and citric acids were studied. These polyaniline films were tested for adhesion and proliferation with PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells and it was found out that all films enabled cell adhesion and proliferation. Simultaneously, it was concluded that the effect of dopant acid on cell proliferation is negligible. Certain studies also revealed that cell adhesion was positively influenced by coating the different carrier materials with polyaniline. For example, Si wafer surfaces deposited with polyaniline were studied by Liu <span class="italic">et al.</span><a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit12"><sup><span class="sup_ref">12</span></sup></a> using PC-12 cells derived from pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla. Although the testing proceeded for only four days, it was obvious that the polyaniline-coated surface allowed better cell adhesion and proliferation compared to bare Si surfaces. In the light of the above mentioned works and the results of this study, it is clear that polyaniline films can be useful as substrates for tissue engineering. These findings are consistent with ESC adhesion on materials combining polyaniline with various biocompatible polymers, <span class="italic">e.g.</span> human mesenchymal stem cells on chitin/polyaniline nanofibers,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit33"><sup><span class="sup_ref">33</span></sup></a> bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on polyaniline containing hydrogel,<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit34"><sup><span class="sup_ref">34</span></sup></a> or nerve stem cells on poly-<span class="small_caps">L</span>-lactide/polyaniline nanofibers.<a title="Select to navigate to references" href="#cit35"><sup><span class="sup_ref">35</span></sup></a></p> <h3 id="sect712"><span class="b_heading">3.5.

Under the studied conditions, beating foci were observed on surfaces from day 11 of differentiation (data not shown). qRT-PCR analyses of the expressions of gene transcripts typical for cardiomyocytes (transcription factor Nkx2.5 and components of contractile apparatus, such as sarcomeric α actinin (ACTN2) and myosine heavy chains α Myh6) and β (Myh7), did not show any significant difference between the reference and tested polyaniline surfaces (<a title="Select to navigate to figure" href="#imgfig6">Fig. 6</a>). Thus, it can be concluded that under the tested conditions cardiomyogenesis in ESC proceeds in the same manner on all surfaces. In the present study, where no external electrical field was applied, the beating of cardiomyocytes observed on the tested conducting films was comparable to that on the reference.

The cardiomyogenesis and neurogenesis on all tested surfaces were not different from those observed on the reference. The absence of a negative impact of polyaniline on ESC differentiation, which was originally confirmed in our study, suggests that this polymer, even in pristine form, can be safely used in advanced biomedical applications. As ESC interaction with polyaniline has not previously been studied in terms of cardiomyogenesis and neurogenesis, these outcomes can be considered as novel and original.</p> </div> <h2 id="sect740"><span class="a_heading">4. Conclusions</span></h2> <span>The original study presented here explores the behavior of embryonic stem cells on the surfaces of pristine and modified polyaniline films. The results revealed that cell behaviour on pristine polyaniline, mainly polyaniline base, is comparable to that observed on reference tissue culture plastic. The modification of pristine polyanilines with PAMPSA decreases embryonic stem cell adhesion and disabled spreading on this surface. In addition, embryonic stem cell differentiation on polyaniline surfaces is presented for the first time. It was revealed that pristine polyaniline has no negative influence on cardiomyogenesis or neurogenesis and is free of embryotoxicity, which opens up the possibility of devising a wide range of potential applications for this conducting polymer in the field of biomedical engineering.</span> <h2 id="sect744"><span class="a_heading">Author contributions</span></h2> <span>Petr Humpolíček and Katarzyna Anna Radaszkiewicz contributed equally to the manuscript.
