Growth and Spatial Control of Murine Neural Stem Cells on Reflectin Films
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering(2020)
摘要
Stem cells have attracted significant attention due to their regenerative capabilities and their potential for the treatment of disease. Consequently, significant research effort has focused on the development of protein- and polypeptide-based materials as stem cell substrates and scaffolds. Here, we explore the ability of reflectin, a cephalopod structural protein, to support the growth of murine neural stem/progenitor cells (mNSPCs). We observe that the binding, growth, and differentiation of mNSPCs on reflectin films is comparable to that on more established protein-based materials. Moreover, we find that heparin selectively inhibits the adhesion of mNSPCs on reflectin, affording spatial control of cell growth and leading to a u003e30-fold change in cell density on patterned substrates. The described findings highlight the potential utility of reflectin as a stem cell culture material.
