چکیده

Using a previously described method for the functionalization of glass substrates with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), in vitro experimental comparison of adhesion levels of cancer cells to glycosaminoglycan-modified substrates was performed with non-treated and heparin-treated human cancer cells of different metastatic activity. For both non-treated and heparin-treated cells, our results indicate that heparan sulfate is the preferred substrate for adhesion while keratan sulfate shows anti-adhesive properties. The observed net effect of heparin is a cell-dependent reduction in the adhesion figures. Overall, our results suggest that tissues with higher composition of heparan sulfate chains may be preferential metastatic targets and indicate that the effective use of heparin as anti-metastatic or anti-inflammatory agent may also depend on glycosaminoglycan composition of the affected organs.

Cell-substratum adhesion in chick neural retina depends upon protein- heparan sulfate interactions

Embryonic chick neural retina cells in culture release complexes of proteins and glycosaminoglycans, termed adherons, which stimulate cell-substratum adhesion when adsorbed to nonadhesive surfaces. Two distinct retinal cell surface macromolecules, a 170,000-mol-wt glycoprotein and a heparan sulfate proteoglycan; are components of adherons that can independently promote adhesion when coated on i...

Interaction forces between colloids and protein-coated surfaces measured using an atomic force microscope.

Bacterial surfaces contain proteins, polysaccharides, and other biopolymers that can affect their adhesion to another surface. To better understand the role of proteins in bacterial adhesion, the interactions between two different model colloids (glass beads and carboxylated latex microspheres) and four proteins covalently bonded to glass surfaces were examined using colloid probes and an atomi...

The impact of ultraviolet light on bacterial adhesion to glass and metal oxide-coated surface.

Biofouling of glass and quartz surfaces can be reduced when the surface is coated with photocatalytically active metal oxides, such as TiO2 (anatase form) or SnO2. We measured the attachment of eight strains of bacteria to these two metal oxides (TiO2 and SnO2), and to an uncoated glass (control; designated Si-m) before and after exposure to UV light at wavelengths of 254 nm (UVC) or 340 nm UV ...

Characterization of poly(ethylene oxide) brushes on glass surfaces and adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Poly(ethylene oxide) brushes have been covalently bound to glass surfaces and their presence was demonstrated by an increase in water contact angles from fully wettable on glass to advancing contact angles of 54 degrees, with a hysteresis of 32 degrees. In addition, electrophoretic mobilities of glass and brush-coated glass were determined using streaming potential measurements. The dependence ...

Selective and stable adhesion of Yeast cells to Boronate-containing Polymer Grafted to glass Supports

A series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofP-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. It was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. Yeast cells stained with procion red HE-3B formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...
