description | Biointerfaces based on polyrotaxane (PRX), consisting of α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs) threaded on a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain, are promising functionalized platforms for culturing cells. PRXs are characterized by the molecular mobility of constituent molecules where the threading α-CDs can move and rotate along the PEG chain. Taking advantage of this mobility, we have previously succeeded in demonstrating the regulation of cellular responses, such as cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. In the present study, we investigated differences in the cellular responses to PRX surfaces versus commercially available tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) surfaces using fibroblasts, preosteoblasts, and preadipocytes. PRX surfaces were found to more significantly promote cellular proliferation than the TCPS surfaces, regardless of the cell type. To identify the signaling pathways involved in the activation of cellular proliferation, a DNA microarray analysis was performed. PRX surfaces showed a significant increase in the integrin-mediated cell adhesion and focal adhesion pathways. Furthermore, PRX surfaces also promoted osteoblast differentiation more than TCPS. These results suggest that structural features of PRX surfaces act as mechanical cues to dominate cellular proliferation and differentiation. |
