Abstract
The spirochaete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato is the aetiologic agent of Lyme disease. Borrelia is transmitted to mammals through tick bite and is adapted to survive at tick and mammalian physiological temperatures. We have previously shown that B. burgdorferi can exist in different morphological forms, including the antibiotic-resistant biofilm form, in vitro and in vivo. B. burgdorferi forms aggregates in ticks as well as in humans, indicating potential of biofilm formation at both 23 and 37 °C. However, the role of various environmental factors that influence Borrelia biofilm formation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of tick (23 °C), mammalian physiological (37 °C) and standard in vitro culture (33 °C) temperatures with the objective of elucidating the effect of temperature on Borrelia biofilm phenotypes invitro using two B. burgdorferisensu stricto strains (B31 and 297). Our findings show increased biofilm quantity, biofilm size, exopolysaccharide content and enhanced adherence as well as reduced free spirochaetes at 37 °C for both strains, when compared to growth at 23 and 33 °C. There were no significant variations in the biofilm nano-topography and the type of extracellular polymeric substance in Borrelia biofilms formed at all three temperatures. Significant variations in extracellular DNA content were observed in the biofilms of both strains cultured at the three temperatures. Our results indicate that temperature is an important regulator of Borrelia biofilm development, and that the mammalian physiological temperature favours increased biofilm formation in vitro compared to tick physiological temperature and in vitro culture temperature.

Abstract
Granular shape biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bone grafts with and without doping of silicon cations were evaluated in regards to biocompatibility and MG-63 cellular response. To do this we studied Cellular cytotoxicity, cellular adhesion and spreading behavior and cellular differentiation with alizarin red S staining. Gene expression in MG-63 cells on the implanted bone substitutes was also examined at different time points using RT-PCR. In comparison, the Si-doped BCP granule showed more cellular viability than the BCP granule without doping in MTT assay. Moreover, cell proliferation was much higher when Si doping was employed. The cells grown on the silicon-doped BCP substitutes had more active filopodial growth with cytoplasmic webbing that proceeded to the flattening stage, which was indicative of well cellular adhesion. When these cells were exposed to Si-doped BCP granules for 14 days, well differentiated MG-63 cells were observed. Osteonectin and osteopontin genes were highly expressed in the late stage of differentiation (14 days), whereas collagen type I mRNA were found to be highly expressed during the early stage (day 3). These combined results of this study demonstrate that silicon-doped BCP enhanced osteoblast attachment/spreading, proliferation, differentiation and gene expression.

Abstract
Initial cell attachment and spreading of anchorage-dependent cells onto the material surface are crucial concerns for the development of more effective implants. In this study, MG63 cells were employed to investigate the initial cell response to sol-gel derived fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA) coatings. Along with that, surface roughness, wettability, and protein adsorption were also characterized for those FHA coatings, respectively. It was observed that both the surface roughness and contact angle have a slight increase in response to the incorporation of more fluorine ions. All FHA coatings showed similar amount of adsorbed proteins (approximately 1.6 microg/cm(2)) upon testing in culture medium. Cell counting showed that no significant difference was observed for the amount of initially attached cells between HA and fluoridated HA coatings during the first 4 h culture. On the other hand, the well-spread cell on all prepared coating surface indicates that the incorporated fluorine ions have no adverse effect on cell spreading process. Therefore, it was suggested from this study that the prepared fluoridated hydroxyapatite coatings have comparable bioactivity to that of pure hydroxyapatite coating, and these results are meaningful for further investigation for application of FHA coatings.

Abstract
A major complication of coronary stenting is restenosis, often accompanied by inflammatory reactions and smooth muscle cell proliferation. Curcumin has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties, thus we hypothesize that locally released curcumin by coronary stent would diminish in-stent restenosis. As a first test of this hypothesis, curcumin-eluting PLLA films (C-PLLA) were produced and the anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties were then tested using peritoneal phagocytes and human coronary artery smooth muscle cell (hCASMCs) culture systems. We find that the addition of curcumin reduced phagocyte accumulation and activation on C-PLLA films. On the other hand, C-PLLA significantly reduced the proliferation, but not the adhesion, of hCASMCs. The molecular responses of hCASMCs to C-PLLA were further assessed by cDNA microarray analysis. Curcumin up-regulated genes related to apoptosis and enhanced the expression of anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory factors, and of antioxidants. Equally important, C-PLLA inhibited the cell cycle progression of adherent hCASMCs. The results suggest that curcumin regulates gene expression and cell function through the protein kinase (PK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. These results support the use of curcumin to inhibit in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
A novel method of synchronizing monolayer tissue culture cells is described. By limiting the period of attachment of trypsinized cells and the subsequent removal of unattached cells a G1 population of cells is isolated. Evaluation of the degree of synchrony has been carried out by measuring the labeling index and incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA. Further conformation of synchrony, as well as a comparison with synchrony by isoleucine deprivation, was obtained by flow cytometry. The expected peak in DNA synthesis rate following limited attachment was observed. This peak becomes more prominent and shifts to earlier times with shorter attachment intervals. The synchronization method described is simple, rapid, yields a substantial number of cells, and is applicable to many cell lines.

Abstract
HeLa-S3 cells were analyzed for their ability to attach and spread on cell culture microcarriers that were made either positively or negatively charged with polymeric plastics or were coated with BSA, gelatin, fibronectin or laminin. The cells stuck to all microcarriers under low shear, i.e. low stirring conditions with similar rates of attachment. Except in the case of gelatin microcarriers where cells fully spread, cells did not or only partially spread on the others. Under high shear, cells attached with the following rates: positive = negative = gelatin = BSA greater than laminin greater than fibronectin. Cells detached from all but the gelatin and BSA coated beads. However, the cells did not fully spread on BSA beads. The observation that cells not only attached but also spread on gelatin beads indicated that gelatin could be a specific substratum adhesion protein while the other surfaces were 'non-specific'. It should be noted that neither antibodies to laminin nor fibronectin interfered with attachment to gelatin. Protein synthesis inhibitors reduced the attachment and spreading on gelatin beads under high but not low shear conditions. With low shear, attachment and spreading appeared normal. We concluded that the density of the cell surface attachment proteins was reduced by the protein synthesis inhibitors and there were not enough present to facilitate attachment under high shear. The results also indicated that protein synthesis was not essential for cell spreading. Proteolysis of the cell surface with low concentrations of trypsin abolished the attachment of cells to gelatin-coated beads. The reappearance of attachment ability took several hours and was inhibited by actinomycin-D.

Abstract
Studies were carried out to learn more about the critical SH groups involved in cell spreading. Pretreatment of suspended baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells with 3 mM-iodoacetate or iodoacetamide for 10 min at 4 degrees C completely inhibited the ability of the cells to spread on fibronectin-coated substrata. If, however, BHK cells were permitted to attach and spread before being treated with the SH-binding reagents, and then harvested by trypsinization and assayed for spreading on fibronectin-coated substrata, there was no inhibition of cell spreading. The extent of prior attachment required before the cells became insensitive to the SH-binding reagents was tested and was found to occur early during the cell adhesion process, before any cell spreading was observed. In analytical experiments, there did not appear to be any difference in the total number of SH groups between suspended or spread cells as determined with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The uptake of radiolabelled iodoacetate into intact spread cells, however, was found to be 3.5 times less than that found with suspended cells. On the other hand, the distribution of incorporated radioactivity into suspended and spread cells was similar. Most of the radioactivity (approximately 70%) was incorporated into small molecules (e.g. glutathione and cysteine), less (approximately 20%) was incorporated into cytoplasmic proteins, and the least incorporation (approximately 10%) was into the cell cytoskeleton. The data are interpreted to indicate there is a decreased permeability of spread cells to the SH-binding reagents.

Abstract
Proteases have been used as a tool to investigate the role of surface molecules in fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion. Proteolytic digestion of membrane-proteins by pronase (1 mg/ml for 20 min at 37 degrees C) completely inhibited adhesion of baby hamster kidney (BHK) fibroblasts on fibronectin-coated plastic dishes. Various degrees of inhibition were also obtained after treatment with proteinase K, chymotrypsin, papain, subtilopeptidase A, and thermolysin. Protein synthesis was required to restore the adhesive properties of pronase-treated cells, showing the protein nature of the molecules involved in adhesion to fibronectin. A peculiar feature of these proteins was their resistance to cleavage by trypsin. After prolonged trypsin treatment (1 mg/ml for 20 min at 37 degrees C), cells adhered and spread on fibronectin-coated dishes, even when protein synthesis was inhibited by 4 microM cycloheximide. Under these conditions only three glycoproteins (gp) of molecular weight 130,000, 120,000, and 80,000 were left on the cell surface. These were precipitated by a rabbit antiserum against BHK cells that also inhibited adhesion of trypsin-treated cells. gp120 and gp80 were left at the cell surface after mild pronase digestion (0.2 mg/ml for 20 min at 37 degrees C), under conditions not affecting adhesion. These data suggest that these glycoproteins may be involved in fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion in some yet unknown way.

Abstract
The ability of fibroblasts from 8- to 16-day-old chick embryos to adhere to a substratum was altered by trypsin treatment. The consequences of this treatment were investigated on cell re-adhesion to the substratum and cell morphology in relation to the regeneration of cell surface glycoproteins as estimated by the incorporation of [3H]leucine and [14C]glucosamine. Cell re-adhesion, cell shape and restoration of cell surface glycoproteins of the fibroblasts from chick embryos were markedly alike for each stage of embryo development. Age-dependent differences were noted. The fibroblasts from 8-day-old embryos re-adhered progressively more rapidly than fibroblasts from 16-day-old embryos. The fibroblast morphology appeared to be dependent on the re-adhesion of cells to the substratum. Parallel to the re-adhesion, the cell surface glycoprotein recovery reached at least 90% in fibroblasts from 8-day-old embryos and only about 70% in fibroblasts from 16-day-old embryos after a 4 h culture as compared to the control cultures. These percentages coincided with 73% (fibroblasts from 8-day-old embryos) and 40% (fibroblasts from 16-day-old embryos) adhesion recovery. The results are discussed in terms of a possible mechanism for cell surface recovery.

Abstract
We have tested the effect of dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment on the initial spreading of human fibroblasts in serum-free medium in tissue culture dishes. Cell spreading was inhibited following treatment of these cells with 10 mM DTT. Inhibition occurred when the cells were treated at 37 degrees C but not at 4 degrees and was reversible metabolically but not by the addition of sulfhydryl oxidizing reagents. The inhibition was overcome when DTT-treated human fibroblasts were plated on cold insoluble globulin (plasma fibronectin)--coated dishes. Under these conditions spreading appeared to be completely normal, including the formation of focal adhesions. Analysis of the fibronectin concentrations in the human fibroblasts following DTT treatment indicated that there was little decrease in the absolute level of activity as determined in a biological assay for BHK cells spreading on culture dishes. Analysis of the fibronectin distribution on the DTT-treated human fibroblasts by indirect immunofluorescence using a specific anti-CIG antiserum revealed that fibronectin was no longer deposited onto the culture dish surfaces. Even when the DTT-treated human fibroblasts spread in the presence of fetal calf serum, the cell fibronectin remained for the most part in a perinuclear location. These results indicate that DTT treatment of human fibroblasts prevents the normal translocation of fibronectin from a perinulear location to the surface of the culture dish. This study further supports our hypothesis that the initial spreading in serum-free medium of fibroblasts from cell strains depends upon secretion of fibronectin onto the culture dish surface.

Abstract
Studies were carried out on the interactions of uncharged latex beads (0.76 micrometer) with baby hamster kidney cells. Binding of beads to the cells occurred if the beads were coated by cold insoluble globulin (CIG) (plasma fibronectin) but not if the beads were coated by bovine albumin. Bovine albumin-coated beads did not bind to the cells even in the presence of excess CIG in the incubation medium. Binding of beads occurred randomly over the entire surfaces of cells in suspension. However, cell receptors for CIG beads were no longer detectable on the upper surface of cells spread onCIG-coated tissue culture dishes. Binding of CIG beads to cells occurred at all temperatures tested from 4 degrees to 37 degrees C but the rate was lowest at 4 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, binding was accompanied by endocytosis and the beads were found inside vesicles which appeared to be lysosomes. There was also release of radioactivity from radiolabeled CIG beads during incubation with the cells at 37 degrees C. Binding of CIG beads to cells did not require divalent cations. Finally, the cell receptor for CIG beads was lost after cell trypsinization. The data are discussed in terms of current ideas about the basis for cell adhesion.

Abstract
Adhesion of baby hamster kidney fibroblasts (BHK cells) to a Falcon tissue culture flask was measured under various physiological conditions. While 75-80% of the fibroblasts adhere at temperatures from 19-50 degrees, cellular adhesion decreased dramatically below 19 degrees. Less than 10% of the cells adhere to the substratum even after prolonged incubations at temperatures of 8 degrees or below. This lack of adhesion at low temperatures cannot be overcome by the application of increased gravitational force to the cells. No correlation exists between cellular ATP concentrations or respiration rates and the rate of cell adhesion to the substratum. One millimolar Na F and 1 mM 2,4 dinitrophenol together lower cellular ATP concentration by 95% but adhesion is reduced by only 50%. NaN3 and KCN greatly lower cellular ATP concentrations without a corresponding inhibition of adhesion. Inhibition of cellular respiration by these compounds occurs at lower concentrations than does the inhibition of adhesion. Two micrograms/milliliters of cytochalasin B inhibits adhesion by 90%, 0.1 mM vinblastine sulphate or colchicine by less than 50% and 50 microgram/ml colcemid by less than 30%. Fixing the cells with formaldehyde, hardening their membranes with ZnCl2 or treating the cells with toluene, all cause an inhibition in adhesion. Again, application of increased gravitational force cannot overcome these latter inhibitions of BHK cell adhesion to the surface of the flasks.

Abstract
Comparative studies were carried out on dynamic adhesion of 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes to the surface of glass beads in the presence of serum in the medium (50 microng of protein/ml) and in protein-free medium. The influence of cell concentration (within the range 4 X 10(5) to 8 X 10(6)/ml) and of cellular flow velocity (within the range 1.5-0.4 cm/min) on the value of adhesion was investigated. It was found that when serum was present in the medium, the decisive influence on erythrocyte adhesion was exerted by the velocity with which the cells pass though the glass bead layer. Cell concentration under these conditions has only a very slight effect. When the medium does not contain serum, erythrocyte adhesion to the bead layer seems to depend on both cell concentration and flow velocity. Preliminary data were obtained concerning the release of 51Cr from the bead layer after erythrocyte adhesion.

Abstract
The involvement of mucopolysaccharide synthesis in cell locomotion was investigated by determining the effects of inhibition of synthesis on ruffling membrane activity and cell movement by embryonic heart fibroblasts. Mucopolysaccharide synthesis was inhibited directly by treatment with a glutamine analog, 6-diazo-5-OXO-L-norleucine (DON), and indirectly with cycloheximide. DON treatment reduced synthesis to 20% of control values, and cycloheximide reduced synthesis to less than 10% of control values, as measured by incorporation of [35S]sulfate into mucopolysaccharides. Nevertheless, ruffling membrane activity and cell locomotion continued under both conditions. Cytochalasin B did not inhibit mucopolysaccharide synthesis, although it did stop ruffling and locomotion. These results suggest that if mucopolysaccharides are required for cell movement, they must have long half-lives or represent only a minute fraction of the normal synthetic load.

Abstract
The strength of attachment of normal and transformed baby hamster kidney cells was markedly increased when attached cells were treated with concanavalin A (Con A). The cells became less sensitive to detachment by physical shear or by treatment with trypsin or EDTA; however, their morphology, as observed by phase contrast microscopy, did not change. The effects of Con A were prevented by the simultaneous addition of either D-glucose or alpha-methyl-D-glucoside with the Con A. Also addition of these reagents to the attached cells after Con A treatment partially reversed the effects caused by Con A. Pre-treatment of the culture flasks with Con A before cell attachment resulted in an increase in the strength of cell attachment to the culture flasks as compared to untreated controls.
