Versatile Coating via Programmed Assembly of miR‐155 Inhibitor and Endothelial Affinity Peptide

ABSTRACT Medical implants serve as pivotal therapeutic interventions for cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, challenges including endothelial injury, excessive smooth muscle cell migration, and inflammatory responses associated with implantation hinder their long‐term adoption in vivo. In this work, a versatile coating of cardiovascular implants was constructed by the remarkable adhesive properties of dopamine and the precision and efficiency of click chemistry. The functional coating was obtained through programmed assembly of heparin, miR‐155 inhibitor, and endothelial cell affinity peptide. Cellular experiments have demonstrated that this coating could modulate macrophage phenotype through anti‐miR155 inhibitors, thereby inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and improving the inflammatory environment on the surface. Furthermore, this coating could also promote the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells while inhibiting the excessive proliferation of smooth muscle cells, thereby ensuring the endothelialization of the implant surface. Additionally, animal experiments have revealed the coating's exceptional anticoagulant properties, significantly reducing the formation of thrombus. With its simple and efficient preparation process and excellent performance, this coating emerges as a promising candidate for promoting early endothelialization and improving the performance of cardiovascular implants.
