The effects of proteoglycan surface patterning on neuronal pathfinding

Abstract: Protein micropatterning techniques are increasingly applied in cell choice assays to investigate fundamental biological phenomena that contribute to the host response to implanted biomaterials, and to explore the effects of protein stability and biological activity on cell behavior for in vitro cell studies. In the area of neuronal regeneration the protein micropatterning and cell choice assays are used to improve our understanding of the mechanisms directing nervous system during development and regenerative … Show more

“…Previously, protein micro-patterning techniques have been utilized to create patterns for directing neuronal outgrowth. (193, 194) By utilizing an array of differentially sulfated GAG structures, one can create unique signaling combinations that enhance regeneration, functionality and directed growth of neurons.…”

“…Myelination of neurons by Schwann cells has been extensively studied using dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cultures in a variety of serum containing and serum-free in vitro systems, with most systems relying on the use of biological substrates for cell culture (Callizot et al, 2011; Hlady and Hodgkinson, 2007; Liazoghli et al, 2011; Svenningsen et al, 2003; Wood et al, 1990). Less common has been node of Ranvier formation by Schwann cells on motoneurons (Pang et al, 2012; Rumsey et al, 2009) and by oligodendrocytes on CNS neurons (Pang et al, 2012) in in vitro systems.…”

“…One such approach is to deposit precise spatial patterns of proteins on a material that serve to accomplish a biological goal. Recently, protein patterned surfaces have been used to control cell adhesion and to direct the growth of neurons. With the understanding that the cellular interactions with ECM are complex, a method that allows for the precise transfer of multiple independent protein patterns on the same surface becomes necessary. Despite advances toward this goal, no current techniques exist with the resolution necessary to pattern surfaces with multiple proteins at the cellular scale over a sufficiently large area.…”
