Abstract

Collagen I interactions with integrins α1 and α2 are known to support human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) osteogenesis. Nonetheless, elucidating the relative impact of specific integrin interactions has proven challenging, in part due to the complexity of native collagen. In the present work, we employed two collagen-mimetic proteins-Scl2-2 and Scl2-3- to compare the osteogenic effects of integrin α1 versus α2 signaling. Scl2-2 and Scl2-3 were both derived from Scl2-1, a triple helical protein lacking known cell adhesion, cytokine binding, and matrix metalloproteinase sites. However, Scl2-2 and Scl2-3 were each engineered to display distinct collagen-based cell adhesion motifs: GFPGER (binding integrins α1 and α2 ) or GFPGEN (binding only integrin α1 ), respectively. hMSCs were cultured within poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels containing either Scl2-2 or Scl2-3 for 2 weeks. PEG-Scl2-2 gels were associated with increased hMSC osterix expression, osteopontin production, and calcium deposition relative to PEG-Scl2-3 gels. These data indicate that integrin α2 signaling may have an increased osteogenic effect relative to integrin α1 . Since p38 is activated by integrin α2 but not by integrin α1 , hMSCs were further cultured in PE...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.
