Abstract
Tendinopathies are common injuries that typically occur from overuse and fatigue. Treatments target late-stage symptoms with limited success, leading to high rates of reinjury. Early intervention could halt tendinopathy progression to rupture but requires a better understanding of the biomechanical environment associated with early-stage disease. While fatigue injured tendons are further damaged by exercise that is initiated immediately after onset of injury, exercise that is initiated after a brief delay promotes repair. Similar macroscale mechanical properties and collagen damage throughout this delay period suggests that microscale, non-collagenous matrix changes after fatigue injury modulate tendon mechanotransduction and shifts the exercise response from detrimental to reparative. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans (PGs) are increased during chronic tendinopathy, but their role in early-stage disease is unknown. We hypothesized that increased GAGs from fatigue injury modulate viscoelasticity and microscale strains to enable repair from exercise. Various GAG types were increased in the weeks after onset of fatigue injury in the extracellular and pericellular matrices of rat patellar tendons. Enzymatic removal of GAGs from these fatigued tendons increased microscale shear strain, suggesting that GAGs modulate the cell microenvironment after fatigue injury. GAG removal decreased dynamic modulus in the toe region and decreased loss tangent in the linear region of the stress-strain curve in fatigued tendons, suggesting the GAG increase modulates tendon multiscale mechanics and viscoelasticity during fiber uncrimping and fibril sliding and strain transfer. GAGs may influence repair in response to exercise and could serve as a therapeutic target for tendinopathy.

Abstract
Purpose: Tendon overuse injuries are prevalent conditions with limited therapeutic options to halt disease progression. The specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) both enables joint function and mediates mechanical signals to tendon cells, driving biological responses to exercise or injury. With overuse, tendon ECM composition and structure changes at multiple scales, disrupting mechanotransduction and resulting in inadequate repair and disease progression. This review highlights the multiscale ECM changes that occur with tendon overuse and corresponding effects on cell-matrix interactions and cellular response to load.Results: Different functional joint requirements and tendon types experience a wide range of loading profiles, creating varied downstream mechanical stimuli. Distinct ECM structure and mechanical properties within the fascicle matrix, interfascicle matrix, and enthesis and their varied disruption with overuse are considered. The pericellular matrix (PCM) comprising the microscale tendon cell environment has a unique composition that changes with overuse injury and exercise, suggesting an important role in mechanotransduction and promoting repair. Cell-matrix interactions are mediated by structures including cilia, integrins, connexins and cytoskeleton that signal downstream homeostasis, adaptation, or repair. ECM disruption with tendon overuse may cause altered mechanical loading and cell-matrix interactions, resulting in mechanobiological understimulation, apoptosis, and ineffective repair. Current interventions to promote repair of tendon overuse injuries including exercise, targeting cell signaling, and modulating inflammation are considered.Conclusion: Future therapeutics should be assessed with regard of their effects on multiscale mechanotransduction in addition to joint function, with consideration of the central role of ECM.

Abstract
The treatment of periodontitis-induced alveolar bone defects remains a clinical challenge. The secreted protein pentraxin 3 (PTX3) protects tissue during inflammation and maintains bone homeostasis in physiological conditions. However, the effects of PTX3 on osteoblast differentiation and bone regeneration after periodontitis remain unclear. Here, we found that MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblast cells secreted increased PTX3 under TNF-α-induced inflammatory conditions in vitro. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments revealed that PTX3 overexpression promoted osteogenic potential in an inflammatory environment and vice versa. The promoting effect was attributed to the regulatory role of PTX3 on the hyaluronan (HA)-dependent pericellular matrix (PCM). PTX3 was found in the HA-dependent PCM of MC3T3-E1 cells, where it promoted HA synthesis and the expression of CD44 (main HA receptor), enhancing the HA-CD44 interaction. The HA-CD44 interaction further activated focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling cascade. FAK/AKT activation promoted the expression of HA synthases 1/2/3 (HAS1/2/3) and CD44 in MC3T3-E1 cells under inflammatory condition, forming a positive feedback loop that activated by PTX3. Importantly, when HA was digested or any one of these molecules in the positive feedback loop was blocked, PTX3 partially lost the ability to promote osteogenic differentiation in an inflammatory environment. Ligatures were removed after seven days of periodontitis induction in vivo, to investigate alveolar bone regeneration after periodontitis. Histological and Micro-CT evaluation after seven and 14 days of local PTX3 treatment showed that alveolar bone healing was significantly improved compared to the vehicle control group. These findings suggested that PTX3 can induce osteogenic differentiation in an in vitro inflammatory environment by triggering the HA/CD44/FAK/AKT positive feedback loop, and promote bone regeneration after periodontitis.

Abstract
In different tumors, high amounts of hyaluronan (HA) are correlated with tumor progression. Therefore, new tumor therapy strategies are targeting HA production and degradation. In plasma medicine research, antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects on tumor cells were observed using cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) or plasma-activated media (PAM). Until now, the influence of PAM on the HA pericellular coat has not been the focus of research. PAM was generated by argon-plasma treatment of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s Medium via the kINPen®09 plasma jet. The HA expression on PAM-treated HaCaT cells was determined by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Changes in the adhesion behavior of vital cells in PAM were observed by impedance measurement using the xCELLigence system. We found that PAM treatment impaired the HA pericellular coat of HaCaT cells. The time-dependent adhesion was impressively diminished. However, a disturbed HA coat alone was not the reason for the inhibition of cell adhesion because cells enzymatically treated with HAdase did not lose their adhesion capacity completely. Here, we showed for the first time that the plasma-activated medium (PAM) was able to influence the HA pericellular coat.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA), a natural component of the extracellular matrix, is supposed to have a regulatory function in the stem cell niche. Bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are known to express all three hyaluronan synthases (HASes), which are responsible for HA production. HA is extruded into the extracellular matrix, but also stays bound to the plasma membrane forming a pericellular coat, which plays a key role during early cell adhesion. Since HAS isoenzymes, HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3, produce HA with different molecular weights, a difference in their role for cell adhesion is expected. Here, we transduced the immortalized hMSC cell line SCP1 to constitutively express eGFP-tagged HASes (SCP1-HAS-eGFP) by lentiviral gene transfer. The overexpression of the HAS-eGFP was shown on RNA and protein levels, HA was determined by ELISA and the stained HA-coat was analyzed using confocal microscopy. Time-lapse microscopy, spreading assay and single cell force spectroscopy using atomic force microscopy were applied to characterize adhesion of the different HAS transduced SCP1 cells. We showed in this study that HAS3 overexpressing cells formed the thickest pericellular coat compared with control or HAS1 and HAS2 transduced cells. Furthermore, SCP1-HAS3-eGFP displayed faster and stronger adhesion compared to cells overexpressing the other synthases or control cells. We conclude that overexpression of HASes in hMSCs differentially modulates their initial adhesive interactions with the substrate. This observation might be helpful in regenerative medicine goals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial cells (ECs) sense the forces from blood flow through the glycocalyx, a carbohydrate rich luminal surface layer decorating most cells, and through forces transmitted through focal adhesions (FAs) on the abluminal side of the cell. OBJECTIVES This perspective paper explores a complementary hypothesis, that glycocalyx molecules on the abluminal side of the EC between the basement membrane and the EC membrane, occupying the space outside of FAs, work in concert with FAs to sense blood flow-induced shear stress applied to the luminal surface. RESULTS First, we summarize recent studies suggesting that the glycocalyx repels the plasma membrane away from the basement membrane, while integrin molecules attach to extracellular matrix (ECM) ligands. This coordinated attraction and repulsion results in the focal nature of integrin-mediated adhesion making the abluminal glycocalyx a participant in mechanotransduction. Further, the glycocalyx mechanically links the plasma membrane to the basement membrane providing a mechanism of force transduction when the cell deforms in the peri-FA space. To determine if the membrane might deform against a restoring force of an elastic abluminal glycocalyx in the peri-FA space we present some analysis from a multicomponent elastic finite element model of a sheared and focally adhered endothelial cell whose abluminal topography was assessed using quantitative total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy with an assumption that glycocalyx fills the space between the membrane and extracellular matrix. CONCLUSIONS While requiring experimental verification, this analysis supports the hypothesis that shear on the luminal surface can be transmitted to the abluminal surface and deform the cell in the vicinity of the focal adhesions, with the magnitude of deformation depending on the abluminal glycocalyx modulus.

Abstract
Focal adhesions anchor cells to extracellular matrix (ECM) and direct assembly of a pre-stressed actin cytoskeleton. They act as a cellular sensor and regulator, linking ECM to the nucleus. Here, we identify proteolytic turnover of the anti-adhesive proteoglycan versican as a requirement for maintenance of smooth muscle cell (SMC) focal adhesions. Using conditional deletion in mice, we show that ADAMTS9, a secreted metalloprotease, is required for myometrial activation during late gestation and for parturition. Through knockdown of ADAMTS9 in uterine SMC, and manipulation of pericellular versican via knockdown or proteolysis, we demonstrate that regulated pericellular matrix dynamics is essential for focal adhesion maintenance. By influencing focal adhesion formation, pericellular versican acts upstream of cytoskeletal assembly and SMC differentiation. Thus, pericellular versican proteolysis by ADAMTS9 balances pro- and anti-adhesive forces to maintain an SMC phenotype, providing a concrete example of the dynamic reciprocity of cells and their ECM.

Abstract
The pericellular matrix (PCM), also known as the pericellular coat or glycocalyx, lies between the plasma membrane and the interstitial extracellular matrix (ECM). It can have a dramatic influence on cell function because of its presence at the interface between the cell and its microenvironment. A common tool used to demonstrate the PCM is the particle exclusion assay in which fixed red blood cells are utilized to outline the boundary of the cell together with its PCM. PCM visualization and quantification provide opportunities to uncover the roles of ADAMTS proteases in PCM remodeling in many cell types and processes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Cell–cell adhesion strength, measured as tissue surface tension, spans an enormous 1000-fold range when different cell types are compared. However, the examination of basic mechanical principles of cell adhesion indicates that cadherin-based and related mechanisms are not able to promote the high-strength adhesion experimentally observed in many late embryonic or malignant tissues. Therefore, the hypothesis is explored that the interaction of the pericellular matrices of cells generates strong adhesion by a mechanism akin to the self-adhesion/self-healing of dynamically cross-linked hydrogels. Quantitative data from biofilm matrices support this model. The mechanism links tissue surface tension to pericellular matrix stiffness. Moreover, it explains the wide, matrix-filled spaces around cells in liquid-like, yet highly cohesive, tissues, and it rehabilitates aspects of the original interpretation of classical cell sorting experiments, as expressed in Steinberg's differential adhesion hypothesis: that quantitative differences in adhesion energies between cells are sufficient to drive sorting.

Abstract
Cell fate modulation by adapting the surface of a biocompatible material is nowadays a challenge in implantology, tissue engineering as well as in construction of biosensors. Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films are considered promising in these fields due to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties and diverse ways in which they can be modified structurally and chemically. The initial cell distribution, the rate of cell adhesion, distance of cell migration and also the cell proliferation are influenced by the NCD surface termination. Here, we use real-time live-cell imaging to investigate the above-mentioned processes on oxidized NCD (NCD-O) and hydrogenated NCD (NCD-H) to elucidate cell preference to the NCD-O especially on surfaces with microscopic surface termination patterns. Cells adhere more slowly and migrate farther on NCD-H than on NCD-O. Cells seeded with a fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplement in the medium move across the surface prior to adhesion. In the absence of FBS, the cells adhere immediately, but still exhibit different migration and proliferation on NCD-O/H regions. We discuss the impact of these effects on the formation of cell arrays on micropatterned NCD. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 105A: 1469-1478, 2017.

Abstract
Tumor cells showing a 3D morphology and in coculture with endothelial cells are a valuable in vitro model for studying cell-cell interactions and for the development of pharmaceuticals. Here, we found that HepG2 cells, unlike endothelial cells, show differences in adhesion to fibronectin alone, or in combination with poly(allylamine hydrochloride). This response allowed us to engineer micropatterned heterotypic cultures of the two cell types using microfluidics to pattern cell adhesion. The resulting cocultures exhibit spatially encoded and physiologically relevant cell function. Further, we found that the protrusive, migratory and 3D morphological responses of HepG2 are synergistically modulated by the constituents of the hybrid extracellular matrix. Treating the hybrid material with the cross-linking enzyme transglutaminase inhibited 3D morphogenesis of tumor cells. Our results extend previous work on the role of fibronectin in layer-by-layer assembled films, and demonstrate that cell-specific differences in adhesion to fibronectin can be used to engineer tumor cell cocultures.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates an expansive biochemical insult that is largely responsible for the long-term dysfunction associated with TBI; however, current clinical treatments fall short of addressing these underlying sequelae. Pre-clinical investigations have used stem cell transplantation with moderate success, but are plagued by staggeringly low survival and engraftment rates (2-4%). As such, providing cell transplants with the means to better dynamically respond to injury-related signals within the transplant microenvironment may afford improved transplantation survival and engraftment rates. The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) is a potent chemotactic signal that is readily present after TBI. In this study, we sought to develop a transplantation vehicle to ultimately enhance the responsiveness of neural transplants to injury-induced SDF-1α. Specifically, we hypothesize that a hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminin (Lm) hydrogel would promote 1. upregulated expression of the SDF-1α receptor CXCR4 in neural progenitor/stem cells (NPSCs) and 2. enhanced NPSC migration in response to SDF-1α gradients. We demonstrated successful development of a HA-Lm hydrogel and utilized standard protein and cellular assays to probe NPSC CXCR4 expression and NPSC chemotactic migration. The findings demonstrated that NPSCs significantly increased CXCR4 expression after 48 h of culture on the HA-Lm gel in a manner critically dependent on both HA and laminin. Moreover, the HA-Lm hydrogel significantly increased NPSC chemotactic migration in response to SDF-1α at 48 h, an effect that was critically dependent on HA, laminin and the SDF-1α gradient. Therefore, this hydrogel serves to 1. prime NPSCs for the injury microenvironment and 2. provide the appropriate infrastructure to support migration into the surrounding tissue, equipping cells with the tools to more effectively respond to the injury microenvironment.

Abstract
Malignant skin melanoma is one of the most deadly human cancers. Extracellular matrix (ECM) influences the growth of malignant tumors by modulating tumor cells adhesion and migration. Hyaluronan is an essential component of the ECM, and its amount is altered in many tumors, suggesting an important role for hyaluronan in tumorigenesis. Nonetheless its role in melanomagenesis is not understood. In this study we produced a MV3 melanoma cell line with inducible expression of the hyaluronan synthase 3 (HAS3) and studied its effect on the behavior of the melanoma cells. HAS3 overexpression expanded the cell surface hyaluronan coat and decreased melanoma cell adhesion, migration and proliferation by cell cycle arrest at G1/G0. Melanoma cell migration was restored by removal of cell surface hyaluronan by Streptomyces hyaluronidase and by receptor blocking with hyaluronan oligosaccharides, while the effect on cell proliferation was receptor independent. Overexpression of HAS3 decreased ERK1/2 phosphorylation suggesting that inhibition of MAP-kinase signaling was responsible for these suppressive effects on the malignant phenotype of MV3 melanoma cells.

Abstract
Objectives Knee joint distraction (KJD) is a novel, but poorly understood, treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) associated with remarkable ‘spontaneous’ cartilage repair in which resident synovial fluid (SF) multipotential mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may play a role. We hypothesised that SF hyaluronic acid (HA) inhibited the initial interaction between MSCs and cartilage, a key first step to integration, and postulate that KJD environment favoured MSC/cartilage interactions. Methods Attachment of dual-labelled SF-MSCs were assessed in a novel in vitro human cartilage model using OA and rheumatoid arthritic (RA) SF. SF was digested with hyaluronidase (hyase) and its effect on adhesion was observed using confocal microscopy. MRI and microscopy were used to image autologous dual-labelled MSCs in an in vivo canine model of KJD. SF-HA was investigated using gel electrophoresis and densitometry. Results Osteoarthritic-synovial fluid (OA-SF) and purified high molecular weight (MW) HA inhibited SF-MSC adhesion to plastic, while hyase treatment of OA-SF but not RA-SF significantly increased MSC adhesion to cartilage (3.7-fold, p<0.05) These differences were linked to the SF mediated HA-coat which was larger in OA-SF than in RA-SF. OA-SF contained >9 MDa HA and this correlated with increases in adhesion (r=0.880). In the canine KJD model, MSC adhesion to cartilage was evident and also dependent on HA MW. Conclusions These findings highlight an unappreciated role of SF-HA on MSC interactions and provide proof of concept that endogenous SF-MSCs are capable of adhering to cartilage in a favourable biochemical and biomechanical environment in OA distracted joints, offering novel one-stage strategies towards joint repair.

Abstract
The long-term stability and γ-sterilisability of bioactive layers is the precondition for the application of implants. Thus, aging processes of a microwave deposited, plasma polymerized allylamine nanofilm (PPAAm) with positively charged amino groups were evaluated concerning physicochemical characteristics and cell adhesion capacity over the course of one year. XPS, FT-IR, surface free energy, and water contact angle measurements elucidated not only the oxidation of the PPAAm film due to atmospheric oxygen reacting with surface free radicals but also the influence of atmospheric moisture during sample storage in ambient air. Surprisingly, within 7 days 70% of the primary amino groups are lost and mostly converted into amides. A positive zeta-potential was verified for half a year and longer. Increasing polar surface groups and a water contact angle shift from 60° to 40° are further indications of altered surface properties. Nevertheless, MG-63 human osteoblastic cells adhered and spread out considerably on aged and additionally γ-sterilized PPAAm layers deposited on polished titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V_P). These cell-relevant characteristics were highly significant over the whole period of one year and may not be related to the existence of primary amino groups. Rather, the oxidation products, the chemical amide group, that is, seem to support the attachment of osteoblasts at all times up to one year.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronic acid (HA), makes up a significant portion of the brain extracellular matrix. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly invasive brain tumor, is associated with aberrant HA secretion, tissue stiffening, and overexpression of the HA receptor CD44. Here, transcriptomic analysis, engineered materials, and measurements of adhesion, migration, and invasion were used to investigate how HA/CD44 ligation contributes to the mechanosensing and invasive motility of GBM tumor cells, both intrinsically and in the context of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide/integrin adhesion. Analysis of transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas reveals upregulation of transcripts associated with HA/CD44 adhesion. CD44 suppression in culture reduces cell adhesion to HA on short time scales (0.5-hour postincubation) even if RGD is present, whereas maximal adhesion on longer time scales (3 hours) requires both CD44 and integrins. Moreover, time-lapse imaging demonstrates that cell adhesive structures formed during migration on bare HA matrices are more short lived than cellular protrusions formed on surfaces containing RGD. Interestingly, adhesion and migration speed were dependent on HA hydrogel stiffness, implying that CD44-based signaling is intrinsically mechanosensitive. Finally, CD44 expression paired with an HA-rich microenvironment maximized three-dimensional invasion, whereas CD44 suppression or abundant integrin-based adhesion limited it. These findings demonstrate that CD44 transduces HA-based stiffness cues, temporally precedes integrin-based adhesion maturation, and facilitates invasion. IMPLICATIONS This study reveals that the CD44 receptor, which is commonly overexpressed in GBM tumors, is critical for cell adhesion, invasion, and mechanosensing of an HA-based matrix.

Abstract
We assemble aggrecan-containing hyaluronan brushes to study how the supramolecular structure and dynamics relate to material properties in hyaluronan-rich pericellular matrices.
Spatially confined yet strongly hydrated assemblies made from the proteoglycan aggrecan and the polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) are major, functionally important components of the pericellular space around chondrocytes, and in cartilage. To better understand, how mechanical properties arise from the supramolecular structure and dynamics of such assemblies, we have studied the effect of aggrecan on the physico-chemical properties of well-defined, planar HA brushes. From interaction studies by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and spectroscopic ellipsometry, and compression studies by combined colloidal probe atomic force/reflection interference contrast microscopy, we find that aggrecan readily intercalates into HA brushes in a reversible manner. Aggrecan induces a drastic swelling of HA brushes, generating self-assembled films of several micrometers in thickness that are highly hydrated (>99%), elastic and very soft. The Young modulus in the linear compression regime is well below 100 Pa, and reaches several kPa at strong compression. The implications of these findings for biological function are discussed.

Abstract
A voluminous polymer coat adorns the surface of many eukaryotic cells. Although the pericellular matrix (PCM) often extends several microns from the cell surface, its macromolecular structure remains elusive. This massive cellular organelle negotiates the cell's interaction with surrounding tissue, influencing important processes such as cell adhesion, mitosis, locomotion, molecular sequestration, and mechanotransduction. Investigations of the PCM's architecture and function have been hampered by the difficulty of visualizing this invisible hydrated structure without disrupting its integrity. In this work, we establish several assays to noninvasively measure the ultrastructure of the PCM. Optical force probe assays show that the PCM of rat chondrocyte joint (RCJ-P) cells easily reconfigures around optically manipulated microparticles, allowing the probes to penetrate into rather than compress the matrix. We report distinct changes in forces measured from PCMs treated with exogenous aggrecan, illustrating the assay's potential to probe proteoglycan distribution. Measurements reveal an exponentially increasing osmotic force in the PCM arising from an inherent concentration gradient. With this result, we estimate the variation of the PCM's mesh size (correlation length) to range from ∼100 nm at the surface to 500 nm at its periphery. Quantitative particle exclusion assays confirm this prediction and show that the PCM acts like a sieve. These assays provide a much-needed tool to study PCM ultrastructure and its poorly defined but important role in fundamental cellular processes.

Abstract
Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are multifunctional components of the extracellular matrix and are involved in the regulation of adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of cells. The effects of GAG are mediated in general by their interactions with cations and water, and in particular by their binding to growth factors. The aim of this study was to generate artificial extracellular matrices (aECM) containing collagen I and hyaluronan sulfate (HyaS), which are capable of adsorbing and releasing transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and to promote collagen synthesis of cultured human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC). For the preparation of aECM, monosulfated Hya (HyaS1) or trisulfated Hya (HyaS3) were used; the natural chondroitin-4-sulfate was used as a control. As applied for the in vitro experiments, the resulting matrices were composed of 93-98% collagen I and 2-7% GAG derivative. Adsorption of TGF-β1 to the aECM and release from the aECM was dependent on the degree of sulfation of hyaluronan. Collagen synthesis of hMSC was promoted only by aECM with adsorbed TGF-β1; the bare aECM had a slightly inhibitory effect on collagen synthesis. The promoting effect did not correlate either to the amount of adsorbed TGF-β1 nor to the release of TGF-β1, indicating that the correct presentation of TGF-β1 to the cells might be critical. The results indicate that sulfated hyaluronan-containing aECM have the potential to control both the adsorption and release of TGF-β1, and thereby promote collagen synthesis of hMSC. Thus, these aECM might be a useful tool for different tissue-engineering applications to enhance bone formation when used for biomaterial coating.

Abstract
Advancements in technology and computational power in recent years have directly impacted modern microscopy through improvements in light detection, imaging software platforms, as well as integration of complex hardware systems. These successes have allowed for mainstream utilization of previously complex microscopic techniques such as total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, revealing many aspects of cell biology not previously appreciated. Through the restriction of illumination to areas of cell-coverslip interfaces in combination with modern detectors, TIRF microscopy allows researchers in the life sciences a glimpse of dynamic cellular phenomena with resolutions never before achieved.This chapter provides a basic overview to the concept of TIRF microscopy and some considerations to setting up this technique in the lab.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium (Ti6Al4V) is a widely used biomaterial for orthopedic prosthesis and dental implants; thanks to its very high-mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are responsible for bone regeneration following colonization of prosthesis or dental implants. Both hMSCs and hDPSCs have lower ability to colonize this biomaterial in comparison with tissue culture-treated plastic. Both hMSCs and hDPSCs show lack of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation when grown on Ti6Al4V. This signal is restored in the presence of poly-L-lysine (poly-L-lys). Poly-L-lys has been used as part of organoapatite or together with zinc and calcium ions. Our results suggest that poly-L-lys alone induces FAK activation through β1-INTEGRIN, because the presence of β1-INTEGRIN blocking antibody avoided FAK autophosphorylation. Presence of poly-L-lys also increases expression of osteoblastic differentiation marker genes in hMSCs and hDPSCs grown on Ti6Al4V.

Abstract
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts explore the chemical suitability before spreading on a given substrate. We find this early phase of cell spreading to be characterized by transient adhesion patches with a typical mean size of (1.0 ± 0.4) µm and a lifetime of (33 ± 12) s. Eventually, these patches fuse to initiate extensive spreading of the cell. We monitor cell adhesion using reflection interference contrast and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Digital time lapse movies are analysed employing spatio-temporal correlation functions of adhesion patterns. Correlation length and time can be scaled to obtain a master curve at the fusion point.

Abstract
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are common vascular malformations with an unpredictable risk of hemorrhage, the consequences of which range from headache to stroke or death. Three genes, CCM1, CCM2 and CCM3, have been linked to the disease. The encoded CCM proteins interact with each other within a large protein complex. Within the past 2 years, a plethora of new data has emerged on the signaling pathways in which CCM proteins are involved. CCM proteins regulate diverse aspects of endothelial cell morphogenesis and blood vessel stability such as cell-cell junctions, cell shape and polarity, or cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Although fascinating, a global picture is hard to depict because little is known about how these pathways coordinate to orchestrate angiogenesis. Here we present what is known about the structural domain organization of CCM proteins, their association as a ternary complex and their subcellular localization. Numerous CCM partners have been identified using two-hybrid screens, genetic analyses or proteomic studies. We focus on the best-characterized partners and review data on the signaling pathways they regulate as a step towards a better understanding of the etiology of CCM disease.

Abstract
Integrins have emerged as key sensory molecules that translate chemical and physical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) into biochemical signals that regulate cell behavior. Integrins function by clustering into adhesion plaques, but the molecular mechanisms that drive integrin clustering in response to interaction with the ECM remain unclear. To explore how deformations in the cell-ECM interface influence integrin clustering, we developed a spatial-temporal simulation that integrates the micro-mechanics of the cell, glycocalyx, and ECM with a simple chemical model of integrin activation and ligand interaction. Due to mechanical coupling, we find that integrin-ligand interactions are highly cooperative, and this cooperativity is sufficient to drive integrin clustering even in the absence of cytoskeletal crosslinking or homotypic integrin-integrin interactions. The glycocalyx largely mediates this cooperativity and hence may be a key regulator of integrin function. Remarkably, integrin clustering in the model is naturally responsive to the chemical and physical properties of the ECM, including ligand density, matrix rigidity, and the chemical affinity of ligand for receptor. Consistent with experimental observations, we find that integrin clustering is robust on rigid substrates with high ligand density, but is impaired on substrates that are highly compliant or have low ligand density. We thus demonstrate how integrins themselves could function as sensory molecules that begin sensing matrix properties even before large multi-molecular adhesion complexes are assembled. Critical cell decisions, including whether to live, proliferate, or assemble into tissue structures, are directed by cues from the extracellular matrix, the external protein scaffold that surrounds cells. Integrin receptors on the cell surface bind to the extracellular matrix and cluster into complexes that translate matrix cues into the set of instructions a cell follows. Using a newly developed model of the cell-matrix interface, in this work we detail a simple yet efficient mechanism by which integrins could “sense” important matrix properties, including chemical composition and mechanical stiffness, and cluster appropriately. This mechanism relies on mechanical resistance to integrin-matrix interaction provided by the glycocalyx, the slimy sugar and protein coating on the cell, as well as the stiffness of the matrix and the cell itself. In general, the resistance alters integrin-ligand reaction rates, such that integrin clustering is favored for many physiologically relevant conditions. Interestingly, the mechanical properties of the cell and ECM are altered in many prevalent diseases, such as cancer, and our work suggests how these mechanical perturbations might adversely influence integrin function.

Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of processed human amnion (HAM) as a substrate for chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). HAM preparations processed by air drying (AD) and freeze drying (FD) underwent histological examination and MSC seeding in chondrogenic medium for 15 days. Monolayer cultures were used as control for chondrogenic differentiation and HAMs without cell seeding were used as negative control. Qualitative observations were made using scanning electron microscopy analysis and quantitative analyses were based on the sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG) assays performed on day 1 and day 15. Histological examination of HAM substrates before seeding revealed a smooth surface in AD substrates, while the FD substrates exhibited a porous surface. Cell attachment to AD and FD substrates on day 15 was qualitatively comparable. GAG were significantly highly expressed in cells seeded on FD HAM substrates. This study indicates that processed HAM is a potentially valuable material as a cell-carrier for MSC differentiation.

Abstract
Polysulfone (PSU) membranes, coated and uncoated hyaluronan (HA), were compared for their ability to allow dermal fibroblast express genes related to extracellular matrix synthesis and remodeling. Fibroblasts type I and type III collagens were studied on both types of membranes; only type I collagen was synthesized on control cultures in plastic Petri dishes, whereas type III collagen was also expressed on PSU membranes. Expression of metalloproteinase (MMP)1, MMP3, and MMP2 was enhanced on PSU and HA-coated PSU membranes, with a lower level of MMP2 on HA-covered membranes. These membranes promote fetal-like matrices that provide good support for skin wound healing as well as favor nonscarring tissue repair.

Abstract
Talin is a large cytoskeletal protein that is involved in coupling the integrin family of cell adhesion molecules to the actin cytoskeleton, colocalising with the integrins in focal adhesions (FAs). However, at the leading edge of motile cells, talin colocalises with the hyaluronan receptor layilin in what are thought to be transient adhesions, some of which subsequently mature into more stable FAs. During this maturation process, layilin is replaced with integrins, which are highly clustered in FAs, where localised production of PI(4,5)P(2) by type 1 phosphatidyl inositol phosphate kinase type 1gamma (PIPK1gamma) is thought to play a role in FA assembly. The talin FERM F3 subdomain binds both the integrin beta-subunit cytoplasmic domain and PIPK1gamma, and these interactions are understood in detail at the atomic level. The talin F3 domain also binds to short sequences in the layilin cytoplasmic domain, and here we report the structure of the talin/layilin complex, which shows that talin binds integrins, PIPK1gamma and layilin in similar although subtly different ways. Based on structure comparisons, we designed a set of talin F3 mutations that selectively affected the affinity of talin for its targets, as determined by stopped-flow fluorescence measurements. Such mutations will help to assess the importance of the interactions between talin and its various ligands in cell adhesion and migration.

Abstract
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), also known as evanescent wave microscopy, is used in a wide range of applications, particularly to view single molecules attached to planar surfaces and to study the position and dynamics of molecules and organelles in living culture cells near the contact regions with the glass coverslip. TIRFM selectively illuminates fluorophores only in a very thin (less than 100 nm deep) layer near the substrate, thereby avoiding excitation of fluorophores outside this subresolution optical section. This chapter reviews the history, current applications in cell biology and biochemistry, basic optical theory, combinations with numerous other optical and spectroscopic approaches, and a range of setup methods, both commercial and custom.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is a multifunctional glycosaminoglycan that forms the structural basis of the pericellular matrix. Hyaluronan is extruded directly through the plasma membrane by one of three hyaluronan synthases and anchored to the cell surface by the synthase or cell surface receptors such as CD44 or RHAMM. Aggregating proteoglycans and other hyaluronan-binding proteins, contribute to the material and biological properties of the matrix and regulate cell and tissue function. The pericellular matrix plays multiple complex roles in cell adhesion/de-adhesion, and cell shape changes associated with proliferation and locomotion. Time-lapse studies show that pericellular matrix formation facilitates cell detachment and mitotic cell rounding. Hyaluronan crosslinking occurs through various proteins, such as tenascin, TSG-6, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, pentraxin and TSP-1. This creates higher order levels of structured hyaluronan that may regulate inflammation and other biological processes. Microvillous or filopodial membrane protrusions are created by active hyaluronan synthesis, and form the scaffold of hyaluronan coats in certain cells. The importance of the pericellular matrix in cellular mechanotransduction and the response to mechanical strain are also discussed.

Abstract
Adhesion and spreading of cells on biomaterials are integrin-mediated processes. But recent findings indicate a key role of the cell membrane associated matrix substance hyaluronan (HA) in interface interactions. Because HA is a negatively charged molecule we assume that a biomaterial surface with an opposed charge could boost the first contact of the cell to the surface. Polished cp titanium (R(a)=0.19 microm) was coated with an amino-group containing plasma polymer (Ti PPA). For this purpose, a microwave excited, pulsed, low-pressure plasma was used. Additionally, collagen was immobilized on Ti PPA with polyethylene glycol diacid (PEG-DA), catalyzed by carbodiimide (CDI). The physico-chemical surface analytical techniques like XPS, FT-IR, water contact angle and zeta-potential verified the retention of the allylamine precursor structure. Human osteoblasts were cultured in serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM). Adhesion and cell cycle phases were calculated by flow cytometry. Spreading and actin cytoskeleton were visualized by confocal microscopy. Gene expression of osteogenic markers was detected by real-time RT-PCR. Ti PPA is significantly advantageous concerning initial adhesion and spreading during the first hours of the cell contact to the surface. The proliferation of osteoblasts is positively influenced. Gene expression of the differentiation marker bone sialoprotein was upregulated after 24h. Our results demonstrate that functionalization of titanium with positively charged amino-groups is sufficiently enough to significantly improve initial steps of the cellular contact to the material surface.

Abstract
The adhesion of giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles to planar substrates coated with extracellular matrix mimetic cushions of hyaluronan is studied using quantitative reflection interference contrast microscopy. The absolute height of the vesicle membrane at the vicinity of the substrate is measured by considering, for the first time, the refractive indices of the reflecting media. The thickness of the cushion is varied in the range of approximately 50-100 nm, by designing various coupling strategies. On bare protein-coated substrates, the vesicles spread fast (0.5 s) and form a uniform adhesion disk, with the average membrane height approximately 4 nm. On thick hyaluronan cushions (>80 nm), the membrane height is approximately the same as the thickness of the cushion, implying that the vesicle lies on top of the cushion. On a thin and inhomogeneous hyaluronan cushion, the adhesion is modified but not prevented. The spreading is slow ( approximately 20 s) compared to the no-cushion case. The average membrane height is approximately 10 nm and the adhesion disk is studded with blisterlike structures. Observations with fluorescent hyaluronan indicate that the polymer is compressed under, rather than expelled from, the adhesion disk. The adhesion energy density is approximately threefold higher in the no-cushion case (1.2 microJ/m(2)) as compared to the thin-cushion case (0.54 microJ/m(2)). In the thin-cushion case, the presence of short ( approximately 4 nm) glyco-polymers on the vesicles results in a hitherto unreported stable partial adhesion state--the membrane height ranges from zero to approximately 250 nm. The minimal model system presented here mimics in vitro the hyaluronan-modulated early stages of cell adhesion, and demonstrates that the presence of a polymer cushion influences both the final equilibrium adhesion-state and the spreading kinetics.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is a polysaccharide that is increasingly investigated for its role in cellular adhesion and for the preparation of biomimetic matrices for tissue engineering. Hyaluronan gels are prepared for application as space fillers, whereas hyaluronan films are usually obtained by adsorbing or grafting a single hyaluronan layer onto a biomaterial surface. Here, we examine the possibility to employ the layer-by-layer technique to deposit thin films of cationic-modified hyaluronan (HA+) and hyaluronan (HA) of controlled thicknesses. The buildup conditions are investigated, and growth is compared to that of other polyelectrolyte multilayer films containing either HA as the polyanion or HA+ as the polycation. The films could be formed in a low ionic strength medium but are required to be cross-linked prior to contact with a physiological medium. NIH3T3 fibroblasts were perfectly viable on self-assembled hyaluronan films with, however, a preference for hyaluronan ending films. These findings point out the possibility to tune the thickness of thin hyaluronan films at the nanometer scale. Such architectures could be employed for investigating cell/substrate interactions or for functionalizing biomaterial surfaces.

Abstract
Cell adhesion is a multistage process whereby specific surface receptors interact with the corresponding ligands on the extracellular matrix or on neighboring cells. These complex interactions involve a wide variety of cellular molecules including transmembrane and cytoskeletal components, scaffolding proteins, and a wide variety of signaling enzymes. In this article we discuss recent data characterizing the involvement of the pericellular hyaluronan coat in early stages of cell-matrix adhesion. In particular, we address the mechanisms underlying the transition from hyaluronan- to integrin-mediated adhesion, and the role of the actin cytoskeleton in the "inside-out" regulation and maintenance of the pericellular hyaluronan coat.

Abstract
Engineering of the cellular microenvironment has become a valuable means to guide cellular activities such as spreading, motility, differentiation, proliferation, or apoptosis. This chapter summarizes recent approaches to surface patterning such as topography and chemical patterning from the micrometer to the nanometer scale, and illustrates their application to cellular studies. Particular attention is devoted to nanolithography with self-assembled diblock copolymer micelles that are biofunctionalized with peptide ligands-a method that offers unsurpassed spatial resolution for the positioning of signaling molecules over extended surface areas. Such interfaces are defined here as "nano-digital surfaces," since they enable the counting of individual signaling complexes separated by a biologically inert background. The approach enables the testing of cellular responses to individual signaling molecules as well as their spatial ordering. Detailed consideration is also given to the fact that protein clusters such as those found at focal adhesion sites represent, to a large extent, hierarchically organized cooperativity among various proteins.

Abstract
Neutrophils rely on rapid changes in morphology to ward off invaders. Time-resolved dynamics of spreading human neutrophils after activation by the chemoattractant fMLF (formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine) was observed by RICM (reflection interference contrast microscopy). An image-processing algorithm was developed to identify the changes in the overall cell shape and the zones of close contact with the substrate. We show that in the case of neutrophils, cell spreading immediately after exposure of fMLF is anisotropic and directional. The dependence of spreading area, A, of the cell as a function of time, t, shows several distinct regimes, each of which can be fitted as power laws (A ~ t(b)). The different spreading regimes correspond to distinct values of the exponent b and are related to the adhesion state of the cell. Treatment with cytochalasin-B eliminated the anisotropy in the spreading.
