Abstract
Integrins play myriad and vital roles in development and disease. They connect a cell with its surroundings and transmit chemical and mechanical signals across the plasma membrane to the cell's interior. Dissecting their roles in cell behavior is complicated by their overlapping ligand specificity and shared downstream signaling components. In principle, immobilized synthetic peptides can mimic extracellular matrix proteins by supporting integrin-mediated adhesion, but most short peptide sequences lack selectivity for one integrin over others. In contrast, synthetic integrin antagonists can be highly selective. We hypothesized that this selectivity could be exploited if antagonists, when immobilized, could support cellular adhesion and activate signaling by engaging specific cell-surface integrins. To investigate this possibility, we designed a bifunctional (RGD)-based peptidomimetic for surface presentation. Our conjugate combines a high affinity integrin ligand with a biotin moiety; the former engages the α(v)β(3) integrin, and the latter allows for presentation on streptavidin-coated surfaces. Surfaces decorated with this ligand promote both cellular adhesion and integrin activation. Moreover, the selectivity of these surfaces for the α(v)β(3) integrin can be exploited to capture a subset of cells from a mixed population. We anticipate that surfaces displaying highly selective small molecule ligands can reveal the contributions of specific integrin heterodimers to cell adhesion and signaling.

Abstract
Despite their noted functional role, glycans have had limited therapeutic use due to difficulties in synthesis and quick degradation in vivo. The recent discovery of glycomimetics has provided new opportunities for their application. In this study, we have functionalized type I collagen with peptide mimics of two glycans: (1) polysialic acid (PSA) and (2) an epitope first discovered on human natural killer cells (HNK-1). These glycans and their glycomimetic counterparts have been shown to be important regulators of repair following injury through their unique and phenotypically specific effects on neural behavior. We show that these molecules retain their bioactivity following functionalization to the collagen backbone. Grafted HNK-1 encouraged motor neuron outgrowth, while grafted PSA encouraged sensory and motor neuron outgrowth and enhanced Schwann cell proliferation and process extension. These data support the potential of glycomimetic-functionalized collagen as a biomaterial strategy to increase the efficiency of synaptic reconnection following nervous system injury.

Abstract
To understand the feasibility of calcium (Ca) modification of type 316L stainless steel (316L SS) surface using hydrothermal treatment, 316L SS plates were treated hydrothermally in calcium chloride (CaCl(2)) solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis revealed that the surface of 316L SS plate was modified with Ca after hydrothermal treatment at 200°C. And the immobilized Ca increased with CaCl(2) concentration. However no Ca-modification was occurred for 316L SS plates treated at 100°C. When Ca-modified 316L SS plate was immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) with ion concentrations nearly equal to those of human blood plasma, low crystalline apatite was precipitated on its surface whereas no precipitate was observed on non Ca-modified 316L SS. The results obtained in the present study indicated that hydrothermal treatment at 200°C in CaCl(2) solution is useful for Ca-modification of 316L SS, and Ca-modification plays important role for apatite precipitation in SBF.

Abstract
Various surface modification methods of RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptides on biomaterials have been developed to improve cell adhesion. This study aimed to examine a RGD-conjugated copolymer RGD/MPEG-PLA-PBLG (RGD-copolymer) for its ability to promote bone regeneration by mixing it with the composite of poly(lactide-co-glycotide) (PLGA) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles surface-grafted with poly(L-lactide) (g-HAP). The porous scaffolds were prepared using solvent casting/particulate leaching method and grafted to repair the rabbit radius defects after seeding with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal cells (MSCs) of rabbits. After incorporation of RGD-copolymer, there were no significant influences on scaffold's porosity and pore size. Nitrogen of RGD peptide, and calcium and phosphor of g-HAP could be exposed on the surface of the scaffold simultaneously. Although the cell viability of its leaching liquid was 92% that was lower than g-HAP/PLGA, its cell adhesion and growth of 3T3 and osteoblasts were promoted significantly. The greatest increment in cell adhesion ratios (131.2-157.1% higher than g-HAP/PLGA) was observed when its contents were 0.1-1 wt % but only at 0.5 h after cell seeding. All the defects repaired with the implants were bridged after 24 weeks postsurgery, but the RGD-copolymer contained composite had larger new bone formation and better fusion interface. The composites containing RGD-copolymer enhanced bone ingrowth but presented more woven bones than others. The combined application of RGD-copolymer and bone morphological protein 2 (BMP-2) exhibited the best bone healing quality and was recommended as an optimal strategy for the use of RGD peptides.

Abstract
α(v)β(3) integrin-mediated cell adhesion is crucially influenced by how far ligands are spaced apart. To evaluate the impact of local ligand density versus global ligand density of a given surface, we used synthetic micronanostructured cell environments with user-defined ligand spacing and patterns to investigate cellular adhesion. The development of stable focal adhesions, their number, and size as well as the cellular adhesion strength proved to be influenced by local more than global ligand density.

Abstract
Cell adhesion to scaffolds has remained one of the challenges in tissue engineering. Although protein surface modification has been proven to enhance cell adhesion and retention, its specificity depending on cell and biomaterial types means that the best protein and concentration must be established for each specific application. This review focuses on the improvement of cell adhesion for human mesenchymal stem cells with an osteogenesis approach. A brief outline of the cell adhesion process and extracellular matrix proteins precedes an overview of works focused on the adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts to biomaterials and this effect in their differentiation into osteoblasts.

Abstract
Laminin active peptide-conjugated chitosan mambranes have been previously demonstrated as a useful biomaterial for tissue engineering. Here, three laminin active peptides, A99 (AGTFALRGDNPQG), AG73 (RKRLQVQLSIRT), and EF1zz (ATLQLQEGRLHFXFDLGKGR, X: Nle), which interact with integrin αvβ3, syndecans, and integrin α2β1, respectively, were conjugated to alginate and evaluated the biological activities. A99-alginate (3-3000 ng/mm(2)) promoted cell attachment depending on the amount of alginate. More than 300 ng/mm(2) of the A99-alginate matrices effectively promoted cell attachment, cell spreading with well-organized actin stress fibers, and neurite outgrowth. AG73- and EF1zz-alginates promoted strong cell attachment at the all amounts (3-3000 ng/mm(2)). A99-alginate (30-3000 ng/mm(2)) promoted strong neurite outgrowth but lower amounts of A99-alginate (3 ng/mm(2)) showed weak activity. In contrast, AG73-alginates (3-30 ng/mm(2)) showed strong neurite outgrowth activity but higher amounts of AG73-alginate (300-3000 ng/mm(2)) decreased the activity. These data indicate that neurite outgrowth activity of peptide-alginate matrices is peptide specific and the activity is dependent on the amount of alginate. Further, biological activities of the peptides on alginate and chitosan matrices were different, suggesting that the integrin- and syndecan-mediated cellular functions on the peptide-matrices are highly influenced by the scaffold structure including polysaccharide types and amounts. The laminin active peptide-conjugated alginate and chitosan matrices can control receptor type specific functions and are useful for tissue engineering.

Effects of gentamicin and gentamicin-RGD coatings on bone ingrowth and biocompatibility of cementless joint prostheses: an experimental study in rabbits. Acta Biomater 2011; 7:1274-80.

Abstract
Antimicrobial coatings are of interest as a means to improve infection prophylaxis in cementless joint arthroplasty. However, those coatings must not interfere with the essential bony integration of the implants. Gentamicin-hydroxyapatite (gentamicin-HA) and gentamicin-RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartate)-HA coatings have recently been shown to significantly reduce infection rates in a rabbit infection prophylaxis model. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the in vitro elution kinetics and in vivo effects of gentamicin-HA and gentamicin-RGD-HA coatings on new bone formation, implant integration and biocompatibility in a rabbit model. In vitro elution testing showed that 95% and 99% of the gentamicin was released after 12 and 24 h, respectively. The in vivo study comprised 45 rabbits in total, with six animals for each of the gentamicin-HA, gentamicin-RGD-HA group and control pure HA coating groups for the 4 week time period, and nine animals for each of the three groups for the 12 week observation period. A 2.0 mm steel K-wire with one of the coatings under test was placed in the intramedullary canal of the tibia. After 4 and 12 weeks the tibiae were harvested and three different areas (proximal metaphysis, shaft area, distal metaphysis) were assessed by quantitative and qualitative histology for new bone formation, direct implant-bone contact and the formation of multinucleated giant cells. The results exhibited high standard deviations in all subgroups. There was a trend towards better bone formation and better direct implant contact in the pure HA coating group compared with both gentamicin coatings after 4 and 12 weeks, which was, however, not statistically significant. The number of multinucleated giant cells did not differ significantly between the three groups at both time points. In summary, both gentamicin coatings with 99% release of gentamicin within 24 h revealed good biocompatibility and bony integration, which was not statistically significant different compared with pure HA coating. Limitations of the study are the high standard deviation of the results and the limited number of animals per time point.

Abstract
The adhesive area is important to modulate cell behaviors on a substrate. This paper aims to semi-quantitatively examine the existence of the characteristic areas of cell adhesion on the level of individual cells. We prepared a series of micropatterned surfaces with adhesive microislands of various sizes on an adhesion-resistant background, and cultured cells of MC3T3-E1 (osteoblast), BMSC (bone mesenchymal stem cell) or NIH3T3 (fibroblast) on those modeled surfaces. We have defined seven characteristic areas of an adhesive microisland and confirmed that they are meaningful to describe cell adhesion behaviors. Those parameters are (1) the critical adhesion area from apoptosis to survival denoted as A∗ or A(c₁), (2) the critical area from adhesion of a single cell to adhesion of multiple cells (A(c₂)), (3) the basic area for one more cell to adhere (A(Δ)), (4) and (5) the characteristic areas of a microisland most probably occupied by one cell (A(peak₁) and two cells (A(peak₂)), (6) and (7) the characteristic areas of a microisland occupied by one cell (A(N₁)) or two cells (A(N₂)) on average. Besides the introduction of those basic parameters, the present paper demonstrates how to determine them experimentally. We further discussed the relationship between those characteristic areas and the spreading area on a non-patterned adhesive surface.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fibronectin (FN) has been shown to stimulate bone regeneration in animal models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of bovine bone mineral coated with synthetic oligopeptides to enhance bone regeneration in rabbit calvarial defects. METHODS Oligopeptides including fibrin-binding sequences of FN repeats were synthesized on the basis of primary and tertiary human plasma FN structures. Peptide coated and uncoated bone minerals were implanted into 10 mm calvarial defects in New Zealand white rabbits, and the animals were sacrificed at 4 or 8 weeks after surgery. After specimens were prepared, histologic examination and histomorphometric analysis were performed. RESULTS At 4 weeks after surgery, the uncoated groups showed a limited amount of osteoid formation at the periphery of the defect and the oligopeptide coated groups showed more osteoid formation and new bone formation in the center of the defect as well as at the periphery. At 8 weeks, both sites showed increased new bone formation. However, the difference between the two sites had reduced. CONCLUSIONS Fibrin-binding synthetic oligopeptide derived from FN on deproteinized bovine bone enhanced new bone formation in rabbit calvarial defects at the early healing stage. This result suggests that these oligopeptides can be beneficial in reconstructing oral and maxillofacial deformities or in regenerating osseous bone defects.

Abstract
Spatial patterning of biochemical cues on the micro- and nanometer scale controls numerous cellular processes such as spreading, adhesion, migration, and proliferation. Using force microscopy we show that the lateral spacing of individual integrin receptor-ligand bonds determines the strength of cell adhesion. For spacings > or = 90 nm, focal contact formation was inhibited and the detachment forces as well as the stiffness of the cell body were significantly decreased compared to spacings < or = 50 nm. Analyzing cell detachment at the subcellular level revealed that rupture forces of focal contacts increase with loading rate as predicted by a theoretical model for adhesion clusters. Furthermore, we show that the weak link between the intra- and extracellular space is at the intracellular side of a focal contact. Our results show that cells can amplify small differences in adhesive cues to large differences in cell adhesion strength.

Abstract
Focal adhesions are the anchoring points of cells to surfaces and are responsible for a large number of surface sensing processes. Nanopatterning studies have shown physiological changes in fibroblasts as a result of decreasing density of external binding ligands. The most striking of these changes is a decreased ability to form mature focal adhesions when lateral ligand distances exceed 76 nm. These changes are usually examined in the context of protein signaling and protein interactions. We show a physical explanation based on the balance between the forces acting on individual ligand connections and the reaction kinetics of those ligands. We propose three stability regimes for focal adhesions as a function of ligand spacing and applied stress: a stable regime, an unstable regime in which a large fraction of unbound protein causes adhesion disintegration, and a regime in which the applied force is too high to form an adhesion structure.

Abstract
Titanium metal has good biocompatibility, superior mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. Like most metals, however, it exhibits poor bioactive properties and fails to bond to bone tissue. To improve its bioactivity, bioactive molecules, such as peptides, can be grafted onto titanium surfaces. In order to do this, the first step may be to establish a stable and compatible linking layer on the titanium surface. In this study, we used electrochemical methods to deposit gold (Au) nanoparticles onto titanium substrates, to which we then grafted arginine-glycine-asparagine-cysteine (RGDC) peptides by thiolate covalent coupling. Properties of electrodeposited Au nanoparticles were evaluated using a variety of techniques, including microstructural, chemical and electrochemical measurements. The biological responses of the RGDC-grafted Ti substrates were evaluated using MG3 human osteoblast-like cells. The results of thin-film X-ray diffraction (TFXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated the polycrystalline orientation of Au nanoparticles deposited on the titanium surfaces with high density and controllable particle size. The RGDC peptide could be covalently bonded to Au-deposited Ti substrates via Au-thiolate species, as expected. Cell morphology showed that, on RGDC-immobilized titanium with Au particles, MG63 cells attached and spread more rapidly than on Ti substrates either without peptide or with direct loading of the peptide. Immunostaining for focal adhesion kinase (FAK) demonstrated that RGDC enhanced cell attachment. The present method for the formation of Au nanoparticles may serve as an alternative route for bioactive molecule immobilization on Ti implants.

Abstract
Collagen and noncollagenous proteins of the extracellular bone matrix are able to stimulate bone cell activities and bone healing. The modification of calcium phosphate bone cements used as temporary bone replacement materials with these proteins seems to be a promising approach to accelerate new bone formation. In this study, we investigated adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) on Biocement D/collagen composites which have been modified with osteocalcin and O-phospho-L-serine. Modification with osteocalcin was carried out by its addition to the cement precursor before setting as well as by functionalization of the cement samples after setting and sterilization. hBMSC were cultured on these samples for 28 days with and without osteogenic supplements. We found a positive impact especially of the phosphoserine-modifications but also of both osteocalcin-modifications on differentiation of hBMSC indicated by higher expression of the osteoblastic markers matrix metalloproteinase-13 and bone sialo protein II. For hBMSC cultured on phosphoserine-containing composites, an increased proliferation has been observed. However, in case of the osteocalcin-modified samples, only osteocalcin adsorbed after setting and sterilization of the cement samples was able to promote initial adhesion and proliferation of hBMSC. The addition of osteocalcin before setting results in a finer microstructure but the biological activity of osteocalcin might be impaired due to the sterilization process. Thus, our data indicate that the initial adhesion and proliferation of hBMSC is enhanced rather by the biological activity of osteocalcin than by the finer microstructure.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to functionalize the surface of synthetic poly-(l-lactic) (PLLA) nanofibers with RGD peptide, in order to promote growth and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in vitro. The cRGD was coupled onto PLLA nanofibers using oxygen plasma combined with EDC/sulfo-NHS activation. Matrices were seeded with hMSC and cultivated over a period of 22 days under growth conditions and analyzed during the course of cultivation. The plasma activation of PLLA nanofibers resulted in a reduction of hydrophobicity as well as a formation of carboxyl groups on the surface of the fibers. Furthermore, maximum load, but not young's modulus was influenced by the treatment with oxygen plasma. When hMSC were cultured onto the cRGD functionalized scaffolds, cells showed no increased proliferation or cell density but an induction of genes associated with the osteoblast lineage. In brief, this study indicates that functional peptides of the extracellular matrix can be coupled onto PLLA nanofibers using plasma treatment in combination with EDC/sulfo-NHS treatment. These groups are accessible for the growing cell and mediate probably some osteoinductive properties of collagen nanofibers.

Abstract
This study has investigated the effects of a bio-inspired ceramic surface modified with a novel recombinant protein on surface parameters and cell behavior. The surface of a biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic was functionalized with a recombinant protein spanning the fragments of fibronectin module III7-10 and extracellular domains 1 and 2 of cadherin 11 (rFN/CDH) using a dimethyl-3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate cross-linking method. The surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and protein adsorption and surface density measurements. The material exhibited desirable properties for cell adhesion and proliferation. The effects of the surface on the adhesion and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) were investigated using a cell adhesion centrifugal assay and the 3-(4,5-dmethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method. The data demonstrated that the adhesive capacity and proliferation rate were significantly improved as compared with fibronectin and cadherin positive controls. Moreover, the rFN/CDH bio-inspired ceramic surface also induced osteoblastic differentiation, as evidenced by the higher alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin mRNA expression level of hMSC cultured in osteogenic media for 7-10days. Furthermore, a functional blocking assay with a site-specific antibody against phosphotyrosine 397 (pY397) of focal adhesion kinase revealed that pY397 is involved in adhesion and ossification. These results suggest that the rFN/CDH bio-inspired BCP surface possesses enhanced functionality in adhesion, proliferation and ossification and may be a promising scaffold for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Poly(caprolactone) (PCL) is a promising biodegradable polymer for tissue engineering. However, intrinsically poor cell-adhesive properties of PCL may limit its application. In this study, the PCL film surface was modified with RGDC peptide by a chemical immobilization procedure. Furthermore, bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) behaviors including attachment, spreading, focal adhesion formation, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation, apoptosis and proliferation when cultured on the modified PCL films were investigated. Our results demonstrated that PCL with RGD modification promoted initial BMSC attachment, spreading and focal adhesion formation. At a later time point (12 h), BMSC attachment on both RGD peptide-modified PCL and PCL-NH(2) films significantly increased compared to untreated PCL films. Importantly, FAK phosphorylation was significantly increased only on the films with RGD-modified films, not on the PCL-NH(2) films, demonstrating that PCL with RGD modification had an advantage in initiating the specific integrin-mediated signal transduction and might play an important role in the subsequent retardation in cell death and enhancement in cell proliferation. The present results provide more evidence that functionalizing PCL with RGD peptides may be a feasible way to improve the interaction between BMSC and PCL substrate, which is important in tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the hepatic portal system may not be the optimal site for islet transplantation, several extrahepatic sites have been studied. Here, we examine an intramuscular transplantation site, bioengineered to better support islet neovascularization, engraftment, and survival, and we demonstrate that at this novel site, grafted beta cell mass may be quantitated in a real-time noninvasive manner by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. METHODS Streptozotocin-induced rats were pretreated intramuscularly with a biocompatible angiogenic scaffold received syngeneic islet transplants 2 weeks later. The recipients were monitored serially by blood glucose and glucose tolerance measurements and by PET imaging of the transplant site with [11C] dihydrotetrabenazine. Parallel histopathologic evaluation of the grafts was performed using insulin staining and evaluation of microvasularity. RESULTS Reversal of hyperglycemia by islet transplantation was most successful in recipients pretreated with bioscaffolds containing angiogenic factors when compared with those who received no bioscaffolds or bioscaffolds not treated with angiogenic factors. PET imaging with [11C] dihydrotetrabenazine, insulin staining, and microvascular density patterns were consistent with islet survival, increased levels of angiogenesis, and with reversal of hyperglycemia. CONCLUSIONS Induction of increased neovascularization at an intramuscular site significantly improves islet transplant engraftment and survival compared with controls. The use of a nonhepatic transplant site may avoid intrahepatic complications and permit the use of PET imaging to measure and follow transplanted beta cell mass in real time. These findings have important implications for effective islet implantation outside of the liver and offer promising possibilities for improving islet survival, monitoring, and even prevention of islet loss.

Abstract
The first aim of the present study was to investigate the capacity of a cyclo-DfKRG-coated hydroxyapatite-titanium alloy (Ti-HA-RGD) to activate in vitro human osteoprogenitor cells adhesion and differentiation. The second purpose was to examine in vivo the role of a autologous cell seeding on cyclo-DfKRG-functionalized materials to provide bone repair after implantation in femoral condyle of rabbits. Our in vitro results have demonstrated that both titanium alloy functionalized with hydroxyapatite (Ti-HA-RGD and Ti-HA) contributed to higher cell adhesion than titanium alloy alone respectively 85 and 55% vs 15% compared to tissue culture polystyrene after one hour of cell seeding. As for differentiation, after 3 days of culture, Ti-HA presented the highest increase of ALP mRNA of all surfaces studied. Ti-HA-RGD showed an intermediate value about half as high as Ti-HA. Moreover after 3 days, both Ti-HA and Ti-HA-RGD surfaces showed the highest increase of cbfa1 mRNA expression. Two weeks following implantation, in vivo findings revealed that percentage of lacunae contact observed with pre-cellularized Ti-HA-RGD samples remains significantly lower than with Ti-HA group (10.5+/-9.6 % vs 33.7+/-11.5 %, P<0.03). Meanwhile, RGD peptide coating had no significant additional effect on the bone implant contact and area. Moreover, histomorphometry analysis revealed that implantation of pre-cellularized RGD coated materials with ROP cells increased significantly peri-implant fibrous area (24+/-11.6% vs 3+/-1.7% for Ti-HA-RGD, P<0.02). RGD coatings demonstrated osteoblastic adhesion, differentiation and in vivo bone regeneration at most equivalent to HA coatings.

Abstract
An elastin-mimetic polypeptide, (EMM)(7), with the amino-acid sequence GRDPSS [VPGVG VPGKG VPGVG VPGVG VPGEG VPGIG](7) was used for chemical conjugation of various integrin ligands (RGD peptides) to prepare bioactive hydrogels. The chemical approach involved (1) chemical protection of lysine residues with Fmoc or Boc groups, (2) chemical ligation of a protected linear or cyclic RGD ligand, with or without a hexanoic-acid spacer to the glutamic acid residue, (3) deprotection of the lysine functionalities and the RGD moieties and (4) cross-linking to form a bioactive hydrogel. (1)H NMR spectroscopy was used to quantify the multiple steps in the reaction. The chemical protection was found to be between 65 and 93% for Fmoc and Boc, respectively. The ligands studied included linear RGD cell-binding [H-FGRGDS-OH (1-l-RGD), H-Ahx--FGRGDS-OH (2-Ahx-FGRGDS) and a cyclic -H(2)N-(CH(2))(6)COHN-cyclo(-RGDfK-) (H-Ahx-c(-RGDfK-)) peptide also with a hexanoic-acid spacer. Cell adhesion with mouse osteoblast cells was dependent on the ligand type, ligand density and the use of a spacer.

Abstract
RGD has been demonstrated to improve implant osseointegration. However, few studies are known about an effect of RGD coating on a bone-bonding ability of screw-shaped porous implant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of RGD coating using the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique on the bone-bonding ability of porous implant. 60 implants of 10 mm in length (30 control and 30 RGD-coated) were inserted into femurs of 30 rabbits and 30 implants of 8 mm in length (15 control and 15 RGD-coated) were inserted into tibias of 15 rabbits. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-implantation, femurs and tibias were retrieved and prepared for removal torque tests (RTQ) and histomorphometric evaluation, respectively. No differences were found in the RTQ values between two implants at 4 weeks (p = 0.932). There were statistical significances in the RTQ values at 8 and 12 weeks (p = 0.002, 0.001, respectively). New bone was formed on both implant surfaces. The bone-implant contact pattern appeared to produce a broad-based direct contact in both implants. The RGD-coated implants showed a significantly greater BIC in the threads inside the cortical bone compared with the control implants at 4, 8, and 12 weeks (p = 0.024, 0.041, 0.022, respectively). No differences were found in the bone area within the same threads between two implants at 4 weeks (p = 0.806) whereas differences were found at 8 and 12 weeks (p = 0.009, 0.031, respectively). It was concluded that RGD coating using the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique has a positive effect on the bone-bonding ability of porous implant.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to functionalize synthetic poly-(L-lactic) (PLLA) nanofibers by direct incorporation of cRGD, in order to promote adhesion, growth and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in vitro. The cRGD was incorporated into PLLA nanofibers either by emulsion [PLLA-cRGD (d)] or suspension [PLLA-cRGD (s)]. Matrices were seeded with hMSC and cultivated over a period of 28 days under growth conditions and analyzed during the course. Although the mode of incorporation resulted in different distributions of the RGD peptide, it had no impact on the fiber characteristics when compared to corresponding unblended PLLA control fibers. However, hMSC showed better adherence on PLLA-cRGD (d). Nevertheless, this advantage was not reflected during the course of cultivation. Furthermore, the PLLA-cRGD (s) fibers mediated the osteogenic potential of collagen (determined as the expression and deposition of collagen and osteocalcin) to some extent. Further studies are needed in order to optimize the RGD distribution and concentration.

There were 39 rabbits in total with 6 animals for the RGD-HA and HA group for the 4 week time period and 9 animals for each of the 3 implant groups for the 12 week observation. A 2.0 K-wire either with RGD-HA or with pure HA coating or uncoated was placed into the intramedullary canal of the tibia. After 4 and 12 weeks, the tibiae were harvested and three different areas of the tibia were assessed for quantitative and qualitative histology for new bone formation, direct implant bone contact, and formation of multinucleated giant cells. Both RGD-HA and pure HA coating showed statistically higher new bone formation and implant bone contact after 12 weeks than the uncoated K-wire. There were no significant differences between the RGD-HA and the pure HA coating in new bone formation and direct implant bone contact after 4 and 12 weeks. The number of multinucleated giant did not differ significantly between the RGD-HA and HA group after both time points. Overall, no significant effects of an additional RGD coating on HA surfaces were detected in this model after 12 weeks.

Abstract
We herein present a novel platform of well-controlled ordered and disordered nanopatterns positioned with a cyclic peptide of arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) on a bioinert poly(ethylene glycol) background, to study whether the nanoscopic order of spatial patterning of the integrin-specific ligands influences osteoblast adhesion. This is the first time that the nanoscale order of RGD ligand patterns was varied quantitatively, and tested for its impact on the adhesion of tissue cells. Our findings reveal that integrin clustering and such adhesion induced by RGD ligands is dependent on the local order of ligand arrangement on a substrate when the global average ligand spacing is larger than 70 nm; i.e., cell adhesion is "turned off" by RGD nanopattern order and "turned on" by the RGD nanopattern disorder if operating at this range of interligand spacing.

Abstract
A prominent failure mechanism of small diameter expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular grafts is platelet-mediated thrombosis. We have designed a surface modification for ePTFE consisting of a self-assembling fluorosurfactant polymer (FSP) bearing biologically active ligands, including adhesive peptides and polysaccharide moieties. The goal of this biomimetic construct is to improve graft hemocompatibility by promoting rapid surface endothelialization, whereas minimizing platelet adhesion. Here we present a direct comparison of platelet and endothelial cell (EC) adhesion to FSPs containing one of three cell-adhesion peptides: cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Glu (cRGD), cyclic *Cys-Arg-Arg-Glu-Thr-Ala-Trp-Ala-Cys* (cRRE, *denotes disulfide bond cyclization), linear Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Ala (RGD), or a polysaccharide moiety: oligomaltose (M-7), later designed to prevent nonspecific protein adhesion. Measurements of soluble peptide-integrin binding indicated that cRRE exhibits very low affinity for the alpha(IIb)beta(3) platelet fibrinogen receptor. Static and dynamic adhesion of washed, activated platelets on FSP-modified surfaces revealed that M-7 and cRRE promote significantly less platelet adhesion compared to RGD and cRGD FSPs, whereas EC adhesion was similar on all peptide FSPs and minimal on M-7 FSP. These results illustrate the potential for ligands presented in a FSP surface modification to selectively adhere ECs with limited platelet attachment.

Abstract
The role of morphogens in bone regeneration has been widely studied, whereas the effect of matrix cues, particularly on stem cell differentiation, are less well understood. In this work, we investigated the effects of arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) ligand conformation (linear vs cyclic RGD) on primary human bone marrow stromal cell (hBMSC) and D1 stem cell osteogenic differentiation in three-dimensional (3D) culture and compared their response with that of committed MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts to determine whether the stage of cell differentiation altered the response to the adhesion ligands. Linear RGD densities that promoted osteogenic differentiation of committed cells (MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts) did not induce differentiation of hBMSCs or D1 stem cells, although matrices presenting the cyclic form of this adhesion ligand enhanced osteoprogenitor differentiation in 3D culture. This may be due to enhanced integrin-ligand binding. These studies indicate that biomaterial design parameters optimized for differentiated cell types may not directly translate to stem cell populations, because less-committed cells may require more instruction than differentiated cells. It is likely that design of synthetic extracellular matrices tailored to promote stem cell differentiation may enhance bone regeneration by transplanted cells.

Abstract
Integrin-binding peptides increase cell adhesion to naive hydroxyapatite (HA), however, in the body, HA becomes rapidly modified by protein adsorption. Previously we reported that, when combined with an adsorbed protein layer, RGD peptides interfered with cell adhesion to HA. In the current study we evaluated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) interactions with HA disks coated with the collagen-mimetic peptides, DGEA, P15 and GFOGER. MSCs adhered equally well to disks coated with DGEA, P15, or collagen I, and all three substrates, but not GFOGER, supported greater cell adhesion than uncoated HA. When peptide-coated disks were overcoated with proteins from serum or the tibial microenvironment, collagen mimetics did not inhibit MSC adhesion, as was observed with RGD, however neither did they enhance adhesion. Given that activation of collagen-selective integrins stimulates osteoblastic differentiation, we monitored osteocalcin secretion and alkaline phosphatase activity from MSCs adherent to DGEA or P15-coated disks. Both of these osteoblastic markers were upregulated by DGEA and P15, in the presence and absence of differentiation-inducing media. Finally, bone formation on HA tibial implants was increased by the collagen mimetics. Collectively these results suggest that collagen-mimetic peptides improve osseointegration of HA, most probably by stimulating osteoblastic differentiation, rather than adhesion, of MSCs.

Abstract
Rapid implant fixation could prove beneficial in a host of clinical applications from total joint arthroplasty to trauma. We hypothesized that a novel self-assembled monolayer of phosphonate molecules (SAMP) covalently bonded to the oxide surface of titanium alloy would enhance bony integration. Beaded metallic rods were treated with one of three coatings: SAMP, SAMP + RGD peptide, or hydroxyapatite. Rods were inserted retrogradely into both distal femurs of 60 rabbits. Fifteen rabbits were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks. At each time, seven specimens for mechanical pull-out testing and three for histomorphometric analysis were available for each coating. At four weeks, both SAMP groups had significantly higher failure loads when compared to hydroxyapatite (p < 0.01). No significant differences were found among groups at other times, though the SAMP-alone group remained stronger at 16 weeks. Histology showed abundant new bone formation around all the three groups, though more enhanced formation was apparent in the two SAMP groups. With this novel treatment, with or without RGD, the failure load of implants doubled in half the time as compared with hydroxyapatite. Where early implant fixation is important, the SAMP treatment provides a simple, cost-effective enhancement to bony integration of orthopaedic implants.

Abstract
Titanium-based biomaterials for endosseous implants have found widespread applications in the orthopedic, maxillofacial, and dental domains. Indeed, the surface characteristics such as their chemical modification control considerably the cellular response and, subsequently, the quality and the quantity of new-formed bone around the implant. In this study, human osteoprogenitor (HOP) cell adhesion on different titanium surfaces functionalized with hydroxyapatite (HA), type I collagen, or Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptides is investigated by the quartz crystal resonators and by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for the imaging of focal contact formation. Data obtained by quartz crystal resonator technique revealed that RGD-containing peptides alone increase HOP cell adhesion in early time period of culture. Moreover, association of RGD-containing peptides with either type I collagen or with HA layers induces an additive effect on HOP cell adhesion compared to Ti-Coll or Ti-HA. CLSM shows both the area of focal contact by cell unit and the cytoskeleton network organization to differ according to the surfaces. Interestingly, association of RGD-containing peptides with HA layers induces an additive effect on focal contact formation on HOP cells compared to Ti-HA alone. These data confirm that an RGD peptide effect occurs in the early time of culture, which is beneficial for osteoblast to spreading, differentiation, and survival.

Abstract
In vivo cell migration and location are orchestrally guided by soluble and bound chemical gradients. Here, gradients of extracellular matrix molecules are formed synthetically by the combination of a surface nanopatterning technique called block copolymer nanolithography (BCN) and a biofunctionalisation technique. A modified substrate dip-coating process of BCN allows for the formation of precise molecular gradients of cyclic RGDfK peptide patches at interfaces, which are presented to cells for testing cell adhesion and polarisation. Surfaces formed by BCN consist of hexagonally ordered gold dot patterns with a gradient in particle spacing. Each dot serves as a chemical anchor for the binding of cyclic RGDfK peptides, which are specifically recognised by alpha(v)beta(3) integrins. Due to steric hindrance only up to one integrin binds to one functionalised gold dot which forms a peptide patch spacing. We demonstrate how cell morphology, adhesion area, actin and vinculin distribution as well as cell body polarisation are influenced by the peptide patch spacing gradient. As a consequence, these gradients of adhesive ligands induce cell orientation towards smaller particle spacing when the gradient strength is 15nm/mm at least. This implicates that an adherent cell's sensitivity to differentiate between ligand patch spacing is approximately 1nm across the cell body.

Abstract
Cellular adhesion against external forces is governed by both the equilibrium affinity of the involved receptor-ligand bonds and the mechanics of the cell. Certain receptors like integrins change their affinity as well as the mechanics of their anchorage to tune the adhesiveness. Whereas in the last few years the focus of integrin research has lain on the affinity regulation of the adhesion receptors, more recently the importance of cellular mechanics became apparent. Here, we focus on different aspects of the mechanical regulation of the cellular adhesiveness.

Abstract
Given that hydroxyapatite (HA) biomaterials are highly efficient at adsorbing proadhesive proteins, we questioned whether functionalizing HA with RGD peptides would have any benefit. In this study, we implanted uncoated or RGD-coated HA disks into rat tibiae for 30 min to allow endogenous protein adsorption, and then evaluated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) interactions with the retrieved disks. These experiments revealed that RGD, when presented in combination with adsorbed tibial proteins (including fibronectin, vitronectin and fibrinogen), has a markedly detrimental effect on MSC adhesion and survival. Moreover, analyses of HA disks implanted for 5 days showed that RGD significantly inhibits total bone formation as well as the amount of new bone directly contacting the implant perimeter. Thus, RGD, which is widely believed to promote cell/biomaterial interactions, has a negative effect on HA implant performance. Collectively these results suggest that, for biomaterials that are highly interactive with the tissue microenvironment, the ultimate effects of RGD will depend upon how signaling from this peptide integrates with endogenous processes such as protein adsorption.
