Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adherent multipotent stem cells from bone marrow and potentially numerous other tissues [1] that serve as an attractive model system for evaluating the influence of extracellular cues on stem cell differentiation. MSCs have been shown to commit to several lineages including: bone, cartilage, fat, and smooth muscle, as well as transdifferentiation to skeletal muscle and neural fates.[1b, 2] Our research group [3] and others [2a, b, 4] have used MSCs to demonstrate the importance of cytoskeletal tension during lineage specification and commitment. For example, MSCs that were cultured either on stiff substrates [2b] or patterned on surfaces that promote cell spreading or cytoskeletal tension [3, 4b] all favored an osteogenic program that depended on increased contractility of the actomysoin cytoskeleton. Other reports have demonstrated the use of materials that are modified with cell adhesion ligands to promote MSC osteogenesis;[5] we reasoned that the molecular characteristics of the adhesion ligands—including the affinity and density—would influence the cytoskeleton of the cell and may, therefore, serve to direct the differentiation pathways of adherent MSCs. Herein we report that the biomolecular interactions between cells and their substrates can be tuned to promote osteogenesis, myogenesis, or neurogenesis of cultured MSCs. This work provides an example of the use of molecular engineering to control the influence that materials have in regulating cell function. We used self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold (anchored through the thiol group) as model substrates, because these surfaces allow excellent control over the ligand–receptor interactions that mediate cell adhesion, in part, because they are structurally well-defined and, in part, because the use of monolayers that are terminated with an oligo (ethylene glycol) group are highly effective at preventing nonspecific adsorption of proteins.[6] Monolayers, to which short peptide-adhesion ligands are immobilized, have been used to study several aspects of cell adhesion, including that of embryonic and mesenchymal stem cells, and are an established model for these applications.[7] We prepared substrates by immobilizing either the linear peptide GRGDSC (linRGD) or the cyclic peptide RGDfC (cycRGD, where f denotes an F residue having the d configuration) to monolayers presenting a maleimide group at a density of 1%(high density) or 0.1%(low density) against a background of tri (ethylene glycol) groups (Figure1a).[8] The cyclic peptide has approximately two orders of magnitude higher affinity for the αvβ3 integrin—an important receptor in the adhesion and osteogenesis of MSCs [9]—than does the linear peptide.[10] We used self-assembled monolayer desorption ionization (SAMDI) mass spectrometry to confirm immobilization of the peptides to the maleimide group (Supporting Information, Figure S1). We cultured MSCs under standard growth conditions (see Supporting Information) for ten days on substrates having a bare gold film, a fibronectin-coated gold film (Fn), or on monolayers presenting linRGD, cycRGD, or a scrambled form of the linear peptide that we have demonstrated to be inactive (KRDGVC).[11] For the monolayers, peptides were present at a density of 1% relative to total alkanethiolate (high density) or 0.1%(low density). We then fixed and stained the cells to observe alkaline phosphatase (AP) expression, which is an early marker for osteogenesis. We detected elevated AP expression for cells on the fibronectin (48% of cells stained for AP) and cycRGD substrates (44% on high density, 30% on low density …
