Abstract
The formation of a biological seal around the neck of titanium (Ti) implants is critical for ensuring integration at the gingival site and for preventing bacterial colonization that may lead to periimplantitis. This process is guided by activated fibroblasts, named myofibroblasts, which secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and ECM-degrading enzymes resolving the wound. However, in some cases, Ti is not able to attract and activate fibroblasts to a sufficient extent, which may compromise the success of the implant. Fibronectin (FN) is an ECM component found in wounds that is able to guide soft tissue healing through the adhesion of cells and attraction of growth factors (GFs). However, clinical use of FN functionalized Ti implants is problematic because FN is difficult to obtain, and is sensitive to degradation. Herein, functionalizing Ti with a modified recombinant heparin binding II (HBII) domain of FN, mutated to include an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence for promoting both fibroblast adhesion and GF attraction, is aimed at. The HBII-RGD domain is able to stimulate fibroblast adhesion, spreading, proliferation, migration, and activation to a greater extent than the native HBII, reaching values closer to those of full-length FN suggesting that it might induce the formation of a biological sealing.

Abstract
The interactions at the graft-tissue interfaces are critical for the results of engraftments post-implantation. To improve the success rate of the implantations, as well as the quality of the patients' life, understanding the possible reactions between artificial materials and the host tissues is helpful in designing new generations of material-based grafts aiming at inducing specific responses from surrounding tissues for their own reparation and regeneration. To help researchers understand the complicated interactions that occur after implantations and to promote the development of better-designed grafts with improved biocompatibility and patient responses, in this review, the topics will be discussed from the basic reactions that occur chronologically at the graft-tissue interfaces after implantations to the existing and potential applications of the mechanisms of such reactions in designing of grafts. It offers a chance to bring up-to-date advances in the field and new strategies of controlling the graft-tissue interfaces.

Abstract
The HEP II (Heparin-binding site II) region of fibronectin (FN) containing domain III14 plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and migration through heparin-binding on the cell surface. There are two such fibronectin heparin interacting peptide (FHIP I and FHIP II) sequences present in HEP II. However, the molecular principles by which these sites orchestrate heparin-binding processes are poorly understood. Such knowledge would have great implications in the therapeutic targeting of FN. With this aim, we have explored the binding studies of FHIP I and FHIP II with heparin using various biophysical methods. A fluorescence melting study specifically revealed the preference of heparin for domain III in FN, indicating the key contribution of FHIP I and FHIP II in heparin binding. In isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), the higher binding affinity observed for FHIP II (∼107 mol−1) compared to FHIP I (∼106 mol−1) is expected due to the presence of a superior cluster of Arg and Lys residues in FHIP II, which can facilitate specific H-bonding interactions with heparin. Based on heat capacity changes, the key role of H-bonding, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions was demonstrated in binding. Finally, the molecular docking and MD simulation results reinforced that the interaction of heparin (dodecasaccharide) is stronger and stable with the FHIP II peptide. The results described here suggest that these peptides provide all the structural and thermodynamic elements necessary for heparin-binding of HEP II of FN. Subsequently, it can be concluded that FHIP II could be a better location for therapeutic intervention in cell adhesion activity by FN. Binding Thermodynamics of FHIP I and FHIP II with heparin.![]()

Abstract
Previous reports showed that fibronectin (FN) was effective in stimulating the recovery of damaged dermis. However, native FN has multifunctional domains transmitting beneficial as well as unbeneficial signals to dermal tissue cells through the mediation of integrin heterodimers. The use of a functional domain [FN type III9-10 fragments (FNIII9-10)] providing beneficial effects on the physiology of dermal tissue cells would enhance an in vitro culture system for dermal fibroblasts (DFs). We therefore investigated the FNIII9-10-derived extracellular signaling effect on the physiology of DFs during in vitro culture. Recombinant FNIII9-10 proteins were constructed and their functionality was determined by observing the adhesion of adult human DFs (aHDFs) to recombinant FNIII9-10 and of low adhesion integrin α5β1- and αvβ3-blocked aHDFs to recombinant FNIII9-10. Cellular proliferation, morphology, and senescence were measured and compared in the aHDFs cultured on native FN and recombinant FNIII9-10 for short or long periods. The results show that recombinant FNIII9-10-derived extracellular signaling stimulated increased proliferation of aHDF (both in short- and long-term cultures) and inhibited the generation of morphological abnormalities (in short- and long-term cultures) and cellular senescence (long-term culture) when compared with native FN-derived extracellular signaling. Our results suggest that, instead of native FN, recombinant FNIII9-10 better enhanced the in vitro culture of aHDFs while diminishing the adverse effects associated with the use of human-derived materials.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix molecules are recognized by several integrin subtypes, making identification of cross-talk among different integrin subtypes difficult. Here, we evaluated the cross-talk of integrin subtypes using four different integrin-binding peptides (FIB1; integrin αvβ3/α5β1, A2G10; integrin α6β1, EF1zz; integrin α2β1, or 531; integrin α3β1) derived from extracellular matrix molecules. Various combinations of two different integrin-binding peptides were mixed and conjugated on a chitosan matrix at various molar ratios and were evaluated for cell attachment activity. FIB1/A2G10 (molar ratio 5:5; total 10 nmol/well)-chitosan matrix significantly enhanced cell attachment activity compared with sum of the cell attachment activity on FIB1 (5 nmol/well)-chitosan matrices and A2G10 (5 nmol/well)-chitosan matrices, respectively. However, none of the other peptides showed a significant activity change when they were mixed and conjugated on a chitosan matrix. We investigated the mechanisms of this enhancement. FIB1/A2G10 (8:2 or 6:4)-chitosan matrix increased the cell spreading, phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase at Y397, and slightly decreased phosphorylation of caveolin-1 at Y14 in fibroblasts compared with FIB1-chitosan and A2G10-chitosan matrices. These results indicate that FIB1/A2G10 (8:2 or 6:4)-chitosan matrix synergistically enhances cell attachment, suggesting that integrins αvβ3/α5β1 and α6β1 are involved in a cross-talk and synergistically enhance cell attachment. These findings also suggest that the mixed peptide-chitosan matrix system can regulate the ratio of two different peptides and is useful for evaluating cellular functions through receptor-specific cross-talk. Further, FIB1/A2G10 (8:2 or 6:4)-chitosan matrix could be a useful material for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomaterials are important for cell and tissue engineering. Chitosan is widely used as a scaffold because it is easily modified using its amino groups, can easily form a matrix, is stable under physiological conditions, and is inactive for cell adhesion. Chitosan is an excellent platform for peptide ligands, especially cell adhesive peptides derived from extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. ECM proteins, such as collagen, fibronectin, and laminin, are multifunctional and have diverse cell attachment sites. Various cell adhesive peptides have been identified from the ECM proteins, and these are useful to design functional biomaterials. The cell attachment activity of peptides is influenced by the solubility, conformation, and coating efficiency to solid materials, whereas immobilization of peptides to a polysaccharide such as chitosan avoids these problems. Peptide⁻chitosan matrices promote various biological activities depending on the peptide. When the peptides are immobilized to chitosan, the activity of the peptides is significantly enhanced. Further, mixed peptide⁻chitosan matrices, conjugated with more than one peptide on a chitosan matrix, interact with multiple cellular receptors and promote specific biological responses via receptor cross-talk. Receptor cross-talk is important for mimicking the biological activity of ECM and the proteins. The mixed peptide⁻chitosan matrix approach is useful to develop biomaterials as a synthetic ECM for cell and tissue engineering.
