Fibronectin coating of oxygenator membranes enhances endothelial cell attachment
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can replace the lungs' gas exchange capacity in refractory lung failure. However, its limited hemocompatibility, the activation of the coagulation and complement system as well as plasma leakage and protein deposition hamper mid- to long-term use and have constrained the development of an implantable lung assist device. In a tissue engineeri...
متن کاملMatrix Gla Protein Binds to Fibronectin and Enhances Cell Attachment and Spreading on Fibronectin
Background. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent, extracellular matrix protein. MGP is a calcification inhibitor of arteries and cartilage. However MGP is synthesized in many tissues and is especially enriched in embryonic tissues and in cancer cells. The presence of MGP in those instances does not correlate well with the calcification inhibitory role. This study explores a potenti...
متن کاملA fibronectin-fibrinogen-tropoelastin coating reduces smooth muscle cell growth but improves endothelial cell function
Reendothelialization of the stent surface after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known to be an important determinant of clinical outcome. We compared the effects of biological stent coatings, fibronectin, fibrinogen and tropoelastin, on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) characteristics. Umbilical cord arterial segments were cultured...
متن کاملOligonucleotide and Parylene Surface Coating of Polystyrene and ePTFE for Improved Endothelial Cell Attachment and Hemocompatibility
In vivo self-endothelialization by endothelial cell adhesion on cardiovascular implants is highly desirable. DNA-oligonucleotides are an intriguing coating material with nonimmunogenic characteristics and the feasibility of easy and rapid chemical fabrication. The objective of this study was the creation of cell adhesive DNA-oligonucleotide coatings on vascular implant surfaces. DNA-oligonucleo...
متن کاملSimple application of fibronectin–mimetic coating enhances osseointegration of titanium implants
Integrin-mediated cell adhesion to biomolecules adsorbed onto biomedical devices regulates device integration and performance. Because of the central role of integrin-fibronectin (FN) interactions in osteoblastic function and bone formation, we evaluated the ability of FN-inspired biomolecular coatings to promote osteoblastic differentiation and implant osseointegration. Notably, these biomolec...
