The extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation; therefore, development of bioadaptive ECM-mimetic cell culture scaffolds is an active area of research in tissue engineering. Collagen (rigid nanofiber morphology) and hyaluronan (carboxy groups displayed in a regular manner) are typical ECM components found in vivo. In this work, we used wood-derived crystalline cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) to provide bioadaptive microenvironments for cell culture. Catalytic oxidation of wood CNFs using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) afforded crystalline nanofibrous scaffolds with various carboxy contents, ranging from 0.31 to 1.60 mmol g(-1), of the TEMPO-oxidized CNFs (TOCNFs). Mouse fibroblast cells were subjected to the hydrophilic TOCNF-coated substrates, which were transparent and exhibited a native cellulose I crystalline structure; good cell proliferation was observed for the TOCNFs with carboxy content of 0.8-1.0 mmol g(-1), although intact CNF was bioinert and an excess of carboxylates negatively impacted cell growth. Neither mercerized TOCNFs with a cellulose II structure nor carboxymethylated CNFs with irregular surface carboxy groups contributed to cell proliferation. Therefore, the rigid nanofiber morphology of xeno-free, crystalline TOCNFs with regular alignment of surface carboxy groups would hold the key to providing bioadaptive, ECM-mimetic cellular microenvironments.[GRAPHICS].
