Integrins represent the primary mechanism of cell-extracellular matrix interactions and control cell morphology, proliferation, and differentiation. We have previously shown that substrate-dependent modulation of adsorbed fibronectin (Fn) conformation alters alpha(5)beta(1) integrin binding to Fn and directs C2Cl2 myoblast proliferation and differentiation (Mol. Biol. Cell 10 ( 1999) 785). The model substrates used in these experiments were bacteriological (untreated) polystyrene (B), tissue culture polystyrene (T), and type-I collagen-coated T (C). In the present study, we examined MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cell differentiation on Fn-coated B, T, and C substrates. Immunofluorescence staining revealed substrate-dependent differences in integrin alpha(5)beta(1) binding and clustering into focal adhesions (C > T > B), consistent with our previous integrin binding analysis. Alkaline phosphatase activity and matrix mineralization showed substrate-dependent differences (C > T > B, p < 0.05). Similar trends were observed for alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein gene expression. Blocking experiments with antibodies directed against Fn completely inhibited matrix mineralization on Fn-coated C, indicating that Fn is critical to expression of the osteoblastic phenotype oil this extracellular matrix component. These substrate-dependent differences in osteoblast differentiation correlated with differences in α(5)β(1) binding, suggesting that these differences arise from substrate modulation of integrin-matrix interactions. Substrate-dependent modulation of cell function may provide a versatile mechanism to control cell responses in numerous biomedical applications. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
