The effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and cationic polymers on the adhesion and proliferation of rat islet cells, RIN-5F cells, were investigated. ECM proteins of laminin, fibronectin, vitronectin, type I collagen, type II collagen, and type IV collagen, and cationic polyelectrolytes of poly(L-lysine) and poly(allylamine) were coated on the wells of polystyrene cell culture plates. Their effects on the adhesion and proliferation of RIN-5F in serum-free and serum mediums were compared. The cell number on the laminin-coated surface was the highest among the coated surfaces. Laminin promoted cell adhesion more strongly than did the other ECM proteins and cationic polyelectrolytes. Vitronectin, type IV collagen, and poly(L-lysine) showed moderate effects, but type I collagen and type II collagen did not have any effects on adhesion and proliferation compared with the uncoated polystyrene cell culture plate. Fibronectin promoted cell adhesion but not cell proliferation. Cationic poly(allylamine) had an inhibitory effect in serum-free medium and for longterm culture in serum medium. The ECM proteins of laminin, vitronectin, and type IV collagen, and cationic poly(Llysine) will be useful for the surface modification and construction of biomaterials and scaffolds for islet cell culture and tissue engineering.

Abstract Background: Biomineralized collagen, consisting of fibrillary type-I collagen with embedded hydroxyapatite mineral, is a bone-mimicking material with potential application as a bone graft substitute. Despite the chemical and structural similarity with bone extracellular matrix, no evidence exists so far that biomineralized collagen can be resorbed by osteoclasts. The aim of the current study was to induce resorption of biomineralized collagen by osteoclasts by a two-fold modification: increasing the calcium phosphate content and introducing cobalt ions (Co2+), which have been previous shown to stimulate resorptive activity of osteoclasts.Methods: To this end, we produced biomineralized collagen membranes and coated them with a cobalt-containing calcium phosphate (CoCaP). Human osteoclasts, derived from CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood, were differentiated directly on the membranes. Their morphology was assessed by laser confocal microscopy and their capacity for resorption observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as indirectly quantified by calcium release into cell culture supernatant. Results: The CoCaP coating increased the mineral content of the membranes by 4 wt.% and their elastic modulus from 1 to 10 MPa. The coated membranes showed a sustained Co2+ release of about 7 nM per 2 days. In contrast to uncoated membranes, on CoCaP-coated biomineralized collagen membranes, osteoclasts sporadically formed actin rings, and caused resorption lacunae to form, as observed by SEM and confirmed by increase in Ca2+ concentration in cell culture medium. The effect of the CoCaP layer on osteoclast function is thought to be mainly caused by the increase of membrane stiffness, although the effect of Co2+, which was released in very low amounts, cannot be fully excluded.Conclusions: This work shows the potential of this relatively simple approach to induce osteoclast resorption of biomineralized collagen, despite the fact that the extent of osteoclast resorption was limited, and the method needs further optimization,. Moreover, the coating method is suitable for incorporating bioactive ions of interest into biomineralized collagen, which is typically not possible using the common biomineralization methods, such as polymer-induced liquid precursor method.

Abstract The α2β1 integrin is a major collagen receptor on platelets. Although it has been proposed that α2β1, like αIIbβ3, undergoes agonist-induced activation, neither the potential contributions of α2β1 receptor/ligand internalization to the increase in ligand binding nor the roles of the α2 and β1 cytoplasmic domains in activation of this integrin have been previously explored. Activation of α2β1 was assessed with fluorescein isothiocyanate–labeled soluble type I collagen binding to platelets by flow cytometry. Although collagen internalization in response to agonist activation of platelets was significant, agonist-induced collagen binding still occurred under conditions that block internalization, with minimal changes in cell surface α2β1 expression. Introduction of cell-permeable peptides containing the α2 cytoplasmic tail, and especially the membrane proximal KLGFFKR domain, induced α2β1 activation in resting platelets, whereas a cell-permeable peptide containing the β1 cytoplasmic tail was without effect. Thus, collagen binding to stimulated platelets is increased due to α2β1 activation, in addition to internalization, and the GFFKR motif appears to play an important role in the activation process.

The metastatic spread of tumor cells occurs through a complex series of events, one of which involves the adhesion of tumor cells to extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Multiple interactions between cell surface receptors of an adherent tumor cell and the surrounding ECM contribute to cell motility and invasion. The current studies evaluate the role of a cell surface chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) in the adhesion, motility, and invasive behavior of a highly metastatic mouse melanoma cell line (K1735 M4) on type I collagen matrices. By blocking mouse melanoma cell production of CSPG with p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xylopyranoside (beta-D-xyloside), a compound that uncouples chondroitin sulfate from CSPG core protein synthesis, we observed a corresponding decrease in melanoma cell motility on type I collagen and invasive behavior into type I collagen gels. Melanoma cell motility on type I collagen could also be inhibited by removing cell surface chondroitin sulfate with chondroitinase. In contrast, type I collagen-mediated melanoma cell adhesion and spreading were not affected by either beta-D-xyloside or chondroitinase treatments. These results suggest that mouse melanoma CSPG is not a primary cell adhesion receptor, but may play a role in melanoma cell motility and invasion at the level of cellular translocation. Furthermore, purified mouse melanoma cell surface CSPG was shown, by affinity chromatography and in solid phase binding assays, to bind to type I collagen and this interaction was shown to be mediated, at least in part, by chondroitin sulfate. Additionally we have determined that mouse melanoma CSPG is composed of a 110-kD core protein that is recognized by anti-CD44 antibodies on Western blots. Collectively, our data suggests that interactions between a cell surface CD44-related CSPG and type I collagen in the ECM may play an important role in mouse melanoma cell motility and invasion, and that the chondroitin sulfate portion of the proteoglycan seems to be a critical component in mediating this effect.

Background:Exosomes generated great resonance in the last few years due to their important roles in different biological pathways and diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc) (1). They are lipid-like nanovesicles containing biomarkers, such as proteins, lipids, macromolecules and nucleic acids, including microRNA (miRNA) (2). Exosomes are implicated in intercellular communication by fusing and releasing their cargo into the target cells (3).Objectives:In the present study, we evaluated the potential of exosomes deriving from plasma of SSc patients or generating from cultured SSc fibroblasts to drive the fibrotic signaling in the disease.Methods:Exosomes were isolated from plasma of n=10 SSc patients and from n=10 control subjects. Exosomes were also purified from cell culture supernatants of SSc fibroblasts and of control fibroblasts. Exosome size and concentration were assessed by Nanosight Particle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The content of anti-fibrotic (let-7a, 146a, 200a, 223a) and pro-fibrotic (150, 155) miRNAs was assessed in all the plasma-derived and cell culture-derived exosome populations by semiquantitative real time PCR. Finally, isolated exosomes were used to stimulate control dermal fibroblasts in culture. Gene expressions (COL1A1, ACTA2 and TAGLN) were assessed by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and protein levels (type-I-collagen, α-SMA and SM22) by immunofluorescence (IF).Results:Exosomes isolated from SSc plasma samples showed higher concentration (3.3x1010±1.1x1010particles/mL) compared to those isolated from control plasma ones (1.5x1010±0.4x1010particles/mL) (p<0.01). The exosome size did not differ between SSc and control plasma samples and ranged from 50nm to 150nm. Similar results were obtained with exosomes generated from fibroblast cultures: the concentration was higher in SSc fibroblasts (1.1x1010±0.2x1010particles/mL) than in control ones (0.4x1010±0.1x1010particles/mL) (p<0.05) with no significant differences in size distribution. The content of all anti-fibrotic (let-7a, 146a, 200a, 223a) miRNAs was decreased in exosomes coming from both SSc plasma samples and from SSc fibroblasts with respect to control plasma samples (p<0.05) and to control fibroblasts (p<0.05). On the contrary, the pro-fibrotic (150, 155) miRNAs were significantly upregulated in exosomes deriving from SSc plasma samples and from SSc fibroblasts, with respect to control plasma samples (p<0.05) and to control fibroblasts (p<0.05). Finally, only exosomes coming from SSc plasma samples or SSc fibroblast cultures were able to induce pro-fibrotic gene (COL1A1, ACTA2 and TAGLN) and protein (type-I-collagen, α-SMA and SM22) expression in control fibroblasts. No pro-fibrotic induction was seen in presence of exosomes isolated from control plasma samples or control fibroblast cultures.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that plasma from SSc patients contains higher concentration of exosomes compared to plasma from control subjects and SSc-derived exosomes contain specific pro-fibrotic miRNA signatures that can induce myofibroblast differentiationin vitro. These results suggest that exosomes could be fibrotic drivers towards non-affected areasin vivo, and they might represent novel targets for precision medicine treatments in SSc.References:[1]Zhu T, Wang Y, Jin H, Li L.
