Residual Peroxide Determination in Food Packaging
The extracellular (ECM) microenvironment, defined by biochemical cues and physical cues, is a deciding factor in a wide range of cellular processes including cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and expression of phenotype specific functions. For this reason, engineering the ECM microenvironment provides clear benefits in studies of cell and tissue engineering and related applications. Currently existing technology offers simple and merely adequate environments that facilitate simple cell processes such as cellular adhesion.1,2 The simple presentation of cell adhesion motifs is not optimal for controlling more integrated processes.
Crosstalk among signaling pathways act synergistically to enhance cellular responses such as cell adhesion or proliferation3. A recent study showed that a combination of extracellular matrix derived peptides presented on a surface may enhance cell adhesion strength and focal adhesion assembly. The combinatorial presentation of ECM peptides on cell growth surfaces may also promote elevated proliferation rates of primary or stem cells4,5,6.

Collagen derived peptide
Collagens serve as scaffolds for the attachment of cells and matrix proteins; but, they are increasingly being recognized to have many other ligands and to be highly biologically active. For example, collagens provide integrin binding motifs and heparin binding motifs. The ฮฑ2ฮฒ1 integrin recognizes GXO/SGER such as GFPGER or GFOGER, and these sites are for endothelial cell binding and activation, and for angiogenesis. Integrin binding sites for ฮฑvฮฒ3 have antitumor activity, and may inhibit the activation of human neutrophil or the proliferation of capillary endothelial cells. Integrin binding sites in the NC1 domains have anti-angiogeneic properties mediated by the ฮฑ1ฮฒ1 or ฮฑvฮฒ3 integrin binding.

Fibronectin derived peptide
An ECM Mimetic Library for Engineering Surfaces to Direct Cell Surface Receptor Binding Specificity and Signaling Laminin derived peptide (ฮฑ1 ~ ฮฑ5, ฮฒ, ฮณ chains) Fibronectin naturally exists as a dimer, consisting of two nearly identical monomers. Two regions in each fibronectin subunit possess cell binding activity: III9-10 and III14-V (refer to the modular structure of fibronectin below). The primary receptor for adhesion to fibronectin commonly involves the RGD motif of repeat III10 through integrins such as ฮฑ5ฮฒ1; however, this integrin-ligand interaction is only sufficient for cell attachment and spreading. Additional signaling through the cell surface proteoglycan such as syndecan-4 is required for focal adhesion formation and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton into bundled stress fibers. This binding occurs primarily via the HepII domain (containing the FN type III repeats 12-14) in the C-terminal region of fibronectin.

Laminin Derived Peptide (ฮฑ1 ~ ฮฑ5, ฮฒ, ฮณ Chains)
Laminins, heterotrimers composed of ฮฑ, ฮฒ, and ฮณ chains, are multifunctional glycoproteins present in basement membranes. Integrins, dystroglycan, syndecans, and several other cell surface molecules are cellular receptors for laminins. The globular domains located in the N- and C-terminus of the laminin alpha chains are critical for interactions with the cellular receptors. Integrin ฮฑ6ฮฒ1 binds to most of the laminin isoforms. Integrin ฮฑ3ฮฒ1 interacts with laminin-5 and -10/11 more specifically than the other isoforms. Integrins ฮฑ1ฮฒ1, ฮฑ2ฮฒ1, and ฮฑ7ฮฒ1 show binding activity to laminin-1 and -2. Interaction of integrin ฮฑ6ฮฒ4 with laminin-5 forms hemidesmosomes in the skin. ฮฑ-dystroglycan strongly binds to the laminin ฮฑ1 and ฮฑ2 chains and moderately interacts with the ฮฑ5 chain.

Additional ECM-derived peptides
Cadherins are calcium dependent cell adhesion proteins which are involved in many morphoregulatory processes including the establishment of tissue boundaries, tissue rearrangement, cell differentiation, and metastasis. The extracellular domain of E-cadherin tends to bind in a homophilic manner; however, heterophilic binding occurs under certain conditions. The binding of extracellular cadherin is the basis for cell-cell adhesion and tends to be prevalent at adherins junctions and is structurally associated with actin bundles.
Other sets of extracellular matrix components - for example, vitronectin, nidogen or Tenascin, and SIBLINGs (small integrin-binding ligand, Nlinked glycoprotein) such as bone sialoprotein (BSP) or osteonpontin derived ligand - can also influence the cellular behavior by regulating cell signaling (directly or indirectly). Unlike the main extracellular matrix components such as collagen or fibronectin, these other proteins are adhesionmodulatory extracellular matrix proteins which interact with the main ECM components or integrins.
