| Abstract | Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols, 1-decanethiol (DT10), 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MUOH), 11-mercapto-undecanoic acid (MUA), and 11-amino-1-undecanethiol (AUT), terminated with methyl (–CH3), hydroxyl (–OH), carboxyl (–COOH), and amino (–NH2) groups, were chemically adsorbed on Au and used as substrate surfaces. The features of the SAMs adsorbed on Au were characterized using physicochemical and depth-sensing nano-indentation methods. The ordering of various tail-group terminated SAMs on Au was associated with the rate of harmonic contact stiffness of the SAM molecules along with the measured displacement (MUA/Au < AUT/Au ≈ MUOH/Au < DT10/Au). However, the slight difference in nano-mechanical properties among SAMs/Au does not reach the variation required to induce cellular mechano-sensitive responses. Immunostaining analyses of cytoskeleton indicate that initial adipose-derived stromal cell (ADSCs) attachment and cell morphology on SAMs/Au was regulated by the surface chemistry. The effects of surface chemistry on the exposed cell-binding domains of adsorbed bovine fibronectin (bFN) and bovine vitronectin (bVN) under single-protein or multi-protein conditions were also examined to determine the most potent protein for ADSC attachement. The results reveal that under the single-protein condition, the exposed cell-binding domains of both bFN and bVN on SAMs/Au follow the sequence of tail-groups, –NH2, –COOH, –OH, and –CH3. However, SAMs with the tail-group –CH3 behaved significantly differently. Under the multi-protein condition, bFN domains showed a different sequence of tail-groups, –OH, –NH2 ≈ –COOH, and –CH3, whereas bVN domains showed the same sequence as that for the single-protein condition. Results of cell behavior and the exposed cell-binding domains of adhesive proteins suggest that vitronectin might be the fundamental adhesive protein for mediating ADSC attachment and spreading. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
