| Abstract |
We designed three types of RGD-containing barnacle adhesive proteins using self-assembling peptides. In the present study, three types of RGD-containing peptides were synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis, and the secondary structures of these peptides were analyzed by CD and FT-IR spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of peptide hydrogels were characterized by a rheometer. We discuss the correlation between the peptide conformation, and cell attachment and cell spreading activity from the viewpoint of developing effective tissue engineering scaffolds. We created a peptide-coated cell culture substrate by coating peptides on a polystyrene plate. They significantly facilitated cell adhesion and spreading compared to a non-coated substrate. When the RGDS sequence was modified at N- or C-terminal of R-Y, it was found that the self-assembling ability was dependent on the strongly affects hydrogel formation and cell adhesion caused by its secondary structure. |
