PG - 2590-602 AB - We present an in vitro micropatterning approach in which the density and spatial presentation of two separate protein layers can be independently controlled to form cell stripe assays through (1) the simultaneous application of microcontact printing (microCP) and microfluidic network (microFN) patterning to generate alternating stripes of pure single protein layers or (2) through microCP onto a pre-adsorbed homogeneous protein layer to generate alternating single and dual protein stripes. This approach enabled the creation of choice boundaries in which protein-protein interactions were limited and the effects of spatially segregated or colocalized dual protein signals on model primary neuronal behavior could be readily interrogated and compared on both glass and tissue culture polystyrene substrates. Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cell body attachment was dictated largely by non-specific cell adhesion interactions and interactions between the guidance molecules laminin and aggrecan were insufficient to explain aggrecan inhibition on neurite outgrowth. The presentation of a specific laminin epitope stabilized by interactions with aggrecan and destabilized by microCP was a strong predictor of neurite promoting activity. These observations provide evidence that aggrecan is intrinsically inhibitory and that laminin-aggrecan interactions do not diminish laminin growth promoting properties.
