Cell response to RGD density in cross-linked artificial extracellular matrix protein films.
This study examines the adhesion, spreading, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells on cross-linked films of artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) proteins. The aECM proteins described here were designed for application in small-diameter grafts and are composed of elastin-like structural repeats and fibronectin cell-binding domains. aECM-RGD contains the RGD sequence derived f...
متن کاملComparative cell response to artificial extracellular matrix proteins containing the RGD and CS5 cell-binding domains.
This study addresses endothelial cell adhesion and spreading on a family of artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) proteins designed for application in small-diameter vascular grafts. The aECM proteins contain domains derived from elastin and from fibronectin. aECM 1 contains the RGD sequence from the tenth type III domain of fibronectin; aECM 3 contains the fibronectin CS5 cell-binding domain....
متن کاملCell adaptive response to extracellular matrix density is controlled by ICAP-1–dependent β1-integrin affinity
Cell migration is an integrated process requiring the continuous coordinated assembly and disassembly of adhesion structures. How cells orchestrate adhesion turnover is only partially understood. We provide evidence for a novel mechanistic insight into focal adhesion (FA) dynamics by demonstrating that integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1 (ICAP-1) slows down FA assembly. Live cell i...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix density promotes EMT by weakening cell-cell adhesions.
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), the process during which epithelial cells lose adhesions with neighbouring cells and get converted to migratory and invasive cells, is closely tied to cancer progression. Cancer progression is also marked by increased deposition and cross linking of fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including collagen and fibronectin, which lead to increas...
متن کاملMicrofluidic synthesis of cell-type-specific artificial extracellular matrix hydrogels.
Droplet microfluidic technology is applied for the high-throughput synthesis via Michael-type addition of reactive, micrometer-sized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels ("microgels") with precisely controlled dimension and physicochemical properties. A versatile chemical scheme is used to modify the reactive PEG microgels with tethered biomolecules to tune their bioactive properties for the b...
