Abstract

To study the dependence of unbinding forces on the distance of molecularly defined and integrin specific c(-RGDfK-) ligand patches in initial cellular adhesion processes, we developed a magnetic tweezers setup for applying vertical forces of up to 200 pN to rat embryonic fibroblasts. The ligand patch distance is controlled with a hexagonally close packed pattern of biofunctionalized gold nanoparticles prepared by block-copolymer micelle nanolithography. Each gold nanoparticle potentially activates up to one alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin. The distances between the gold nanoparticles determine the separation of individual integrins and thus the assembly of integrin clusters. The results show an increase in cellular unbinding forces from approximately 6 to more than 200 pN for a decreasing ligand distance of 145 to 58 nm after 5 min of cell adhesion. Furthermore, we observe a strong dependence on adhesion time during the first 10 min of cell surface contact suggesting an active, cooperative cell response that is controlled by the spacing between individually activated integrins.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
