Abstract

The adhesion and differentiation of rat hepatocytes onto track-etched poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) membranes were studied. Native or [3H]methylated fibronectin (FN) or asialofetuin (ASF) were immobilized onto oxidized PET membranes, preactivated or not with carbodiimide (WSC). Radiochemical assay and ELISA indicated that upon washing in SDS or in serum-containing medium, significantly less FN was released from WSC-activated membranes that from unactivated ones. These differences were abolished when the NH2 functions of FN were fully acetylated, suggesting that part of FN was covalently grafted on WSC-activated PET. Although weaker, a comparable effect was observed with ASF. Hepatocytes adhered faster on membranes on which FN was grafted than adsorbed, reaching values comparable to collagen-coated PET; after 24 h these differences decreased. Experiments with cycloheximide or at 4 degrees C suggested that this results from secretion of extracellular matrix adsorbing on PET. Phase I or II biotransformation activities of cells cultured for 1-4 days on FN-, ASF-, or collagen-treated substrates were not significantly different. These results indicate that stable immobilization of FN (covalent grafting) onto PET membranes signif...Continue Reading

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.
