Cell adhesion to both natural and synthetic substrates is mediated by the interaction of cell adhesion proteins with corresponding cell-surface receptors. The cell adhesion proteins present in the extracellular matrix in vivo include fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen, thrombospondin, von Willebrand factor, and laminin. A host of cell-surface receptors are present for these proteins and the specificity for particular adhesion proteins depends upon the particular receptor, with some being very specific and others being less so.The integrin family is a very important and well-characterized group of receptors that is involved in both cell-cell and cell-substrate adhe~ ion. l-~ The integrins are heterodimers of an a subunit and a p subunit, and there are currently known to be 12 a subunits and 7 p subunits. Several ap combinations have been observed. In general, the PI and p3 integrins are involved in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, whereas the p2 integrins are involved in cell-cell adhesion. There is a great deal of receptor/ligand overlap in the integrin family. For example, whereas the classical fibronectin receptor is aspI, fibronectin also binds to a&, a $ l, ad&, avpl, avp3, and a&. The receptor avp3 is the classical vitronectin receptor, but it also binds fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor. One of the reasons for the overlap between receptors and ligands is that the receptor-binding domain among these cell adhesion proteins is rather highly conserved, being variants of the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) sequence that is found in fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand fa~ tor.~ Vitronectin contains RGDV; collagen I, RGDT; collagen VI, RGDX, where X is variant; thrombospondin, RGDA and laminin, RGDN. Fibronectin contains additional RGDS-like sequences, namely, REDV, which is the so-called CSS peptide of the type-3 connecting segment and is present only in some fibronectins, and LDV, which is the so-called CS1 peptide of the type-3 connecting~ egment.~ Synthetic peptides containing the RGDS and variant sequences previously described will bind to their respective integrin with nearly the affinity of the whole protein. There are several receptor-binding domains in cell adhesion proteins that are not derived from the RGDS sequence. Probably the best studied of these is the
