In order to promote cell attachment, fibronectin must first undergo activaton by a suitable substrate. Materials (52) were surveyed for their ability to bind fibronectin, to activate the cell-adhesive property of fibronectin and to support the growth of cells. Many plastics, polysaccharides, metals and ceramics supported cell growth as well as the fibronectin-dependent attachment of cells. Several other substrates were identified that were inactive in promoting either cell attachment or growth. Hydrophobic substrates were active in fibronectin activation; hydrophilic substrates were inactive. Since fibronectin binds to substrata of extremely varied chemical composition, the binding of fibronectin to such substrata is nonspecific in nature. Since protein pretreatment of all substrata, except collagen and poly(L-lysine), abolished the physical binding of fibronectin, the binding of fibronectin to artificial substrata is probably ascribable to a nonspecific hydrophobic protein-substratum interaction. The interaction between fibronectin and collagen may display biological specificity. Poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate)(poly(HEMA)), which was previously shown to be nonadhesive for cells, is demonstrated here to be unique in its inability to bind fibronectin. Addition of 1 part/million of an adhesive polymer to poly(HEMA) permits fibronectin binding to occur.
