The mechanical stimulation from extracellular matrix could regulate physiological behavior of cells through the mechanism of mechanotransduction. Previous researches had shown that apoptosis could be regulated by the size of the cell adhesion area.However, the regulation of cell apoptosis by different adhesion shape with the same area is still unclear. This workfocused on the regulation of apoptosis for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by different circularity and area of adhesion geometry. We manufactured micro-pattern surface which was suitable for adhesion of MSCs by the technique of micro-contact printing. Three typesof geometry for individual is land of micro-pattern were designed. We adopted terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transfer as emediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) method to detectcell apoptosis. This research shows that the adhesion geometry which has smaller area and greater circularity will promote apoptosis of MSCs. This indicates that MSCsmay prefer to live on the surface without any restrict. Ourstudies focused on the significantly important problem about interaction between extracellular matrix and physiological behavior of mesenchymal stem cells.

Interactions between stem cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) are requisite for inducing lineage-specific differentiation and maintaining biological functions of mesenchymal stem cells by providing a composite set of chemical and structural signals. Here we investigated if cell-deposited ECM mimickedin vivoliver's stem cell microenvironment and facilitated hepatogenic maturation. Decellularization process preserved the fibrillar microstructure and a mix of matrix proteins in cell-deposited ECM, such as type I collagen, type III collagen, fibronectin, and laminin that were identical to those found in native liver. Compared with the cells on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) cultured on cell-deposited ECM showed a spindle-like shape, a robust proliferative capacity, and a suppressed level of intracellular reactive oxygen species, accompanied with upregulation of two superoxide dismutases. Hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from BM-MSCs on ECM were determined with a more intensive staining of glycogen storage, an elevated level of urea biosynthesis, and higher expressions of hepatocyte-specific genes in contrast to those on TCPS. These results demonstrate that cell-deposited ECM can be an effective method to facilitate hepatic maturation of BM-MSCs and promote stem-cell-based liver regenerative medicine.
