Cell adhesion through clustered ligand on fluid supported lipid bilayers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quartz crystal microbalance technique with dissipation monitoring and the complementary optical microscopy technique were used for monitoring cell adhesion on an RGD-functionalized supported lipid bilayer. A critical interligand RGD spacing of nearly 80 nm was estimated for cell adhesion when an RGD spacing of 10 nm was necessary to observe flattened cells on a fluid surface.

Cell adhesion to protein-micropatterned-supported lipid bilayer membranes.
A new method for constructing controlled interfaces between cells and synthetic supported lipid bilayer membranes is reported. Microcontact printing is used to define squares and grid lines of fibronectin onto glass, which subsequently direct the self-assembly of fluid lipid bilayers onto the complementary, uncoated regions of the surface. Features of fibronectin as small as 5 microm effectivel...
متن کاملSupported bilayers at the vanguard of immune cell activation studies.
Biological adhesion between cells is critical for development of multicellular organisms and for the function of the adaptive immune system of vertebrates. A gap in understanding of adhesion systems arises from the difficulty of collecting quantitative data on the molecular interactions underlying adhesion, which is typically studied by population statistics such as percent adhesion in the pres...
متن کاملpH-Sensitive Resist Materials for Combined Photolithographic Patterning of Proteins and Fluid Lipid Bilayers
Photolithography of a pH-sensitive photoresist polymer was performed to pattern both lipid bilayers and proteins onto the same surface. The motivation behind this was to create a substrate mimicking an array of antigenpresenting cells. The substrate would consist of signaling ligand, biotin antiCD3, bound to a lipid bilayer in a regular array of patches. The fluidity of the lipid bilayer would ...
متن کاملE-cadherin tethered to micropatterned supported lipid bilayers as a model for cell adhesion.
Cell-cell adhesion is a dynamic process requiring recruitment, binding, and reorganization of signaling proteins in the plane of the plasma membrane. Here, we describe a new system for investigating how this lateral mobility influences cadherin-based cell signaling. This model is based on tethering of a GPI-modified E-cadherin protein (hEFG) to a supported lipid bilayer. In this report, membran...
متن کاملPatterned supported lipid bilayers and monolayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane).
A simple and practical method for patterning supported lipid bilayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane) is presented. By using electron microscopy grids to laterally control the extent of plasma oxidation, the substrate is partitioned into regions of different hydrophilicities. Addition of vesicles then results in the spontaneous formation of lipid bilayers and monolayers side-by-side on the surface, s...
