Adsorption-Induced Conformational Changes in Fibronectin Due to Interactions with Well-Defined Surface Chemistries

Abstract

Protein adsorption onto synthetic materials influences cell adhesion and signaling events that direct cell function in numerous biomedical applications. Adsorption of fibronectin (FN) to different surfaces alters protein structure and modulates α 5 β 1 integrin binding, cell adhesion, cell spreading, and cell migration. In the present study, self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols on Au were used to analyze the effects of surface chemistry (CH 3, OH, NH 2, and COOH) on the adsorption of a recombinant fragment of FN, FNIII 7 - 10, that incorporates both the synergy and RGD cell binding motifs. Surface chemistry potentiated differential FNIII 7 - 10 adsorption kinetics and adsorbed structure as determined by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and antibody binding assays. FNIII 7 - 10 functional activity, determined by cell adhesion strength, was modulated in a fashion consistent with these structural changes (OH = NH 2 > COOH > CH 3 ). However, these changes in protein parameters did not correlate simply to differences in surface hydrophobicity, indicating that additional surface parameters influence protein adsorption. These results demonstrate that surface chemistry modulates adsorbed protein structure and activity and establish a relationship between surface-dependent changes in structural domains of FNIII 7 - 10 and functional activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
