Despite its great potential applications to stem cell technology and tissue engineering, matrix presentation of biochemical cues such as growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) components remains undefined. This is largely due to the difficulty in preserving the bioactivities of signaling molecules and in controlling the spatial distribution, cellular accessibility, molecular orientation and intermolecular assembly of the biochemical cues.

520 $a Despite its great potential applications to stem cell technology and tissue engineering, matrix presentation of biochemical cues such as growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) components remains undefined. This is largely due to the difficulty in preserving the bioactivities of signaling molecules and in controlling the spatial distribution, cellular accessibility, molecular orientation and intermolecular assembly of the biochemical cues.
520 $a This dissertation comprises of two parts that focuses on understanding surface presentation of a growth factor and ECM components, respectively. This dissertation addresses two fundamental questions in stem cell biology using two biomaterials platforms. How does nanoscale distribution of growth factor impact signaling activation and cellular behaviors of adult neural stem cells? How does ECM self-assembly impact human embryonic stem cell survival and proliferation?
520 $a The first question was addressed by the design of a novel quantitative platform that allows the control of FGF-2 molecular presentation locally as either monomers or clusters when tethered to a polymeric substrate. This substrate-tethered FGF-2 enables a switch-like signaling activation in response to dose titration of FGF-2. This is in contrast to a continuous MAPK activation pattern elicited by soluble FGF-2. Consequently, cell proliferation, and spreading were also consistent with this FGF-2 does-response pattern. We demonstrated that the combination of FGF-2 concentration and its cluster size, rather than concentration alone, serves as the determinants to govern its biological effect on neural stem cells.
520 $a The second part of this dissertation was inspired by the challenge that hESCs have extremely low clonal efficiency and hESC survival is critically dependent on cell substrate adhesion. We postulated that ECM integrity is a critical factor in preventing hESC anchorage-dependent apoptosis, and that the matrix for feeder-free culture need to be properly assembled in order to mimic the stem cell niche in vivo. First, we established assays that allow high-throughput quantification of hESC proliferation and ECM deposition. Human ESC survival was found to be highly sensitive to ECM assembly, and was improved by at least 20 times on substrates with well-assembled ECM. ECM polymerization alone improves clonal efficiency by at least 20 fold, from less than 0.1% to be 3-5%. This ratio is further improved to greater than 35% when combined with ROCK inhibitor, suggesting ECM polymerization underlines another critical factor in dictating hESC survival and growth.
520 $a Given that many important signaling molecules including growth factors and extracellular matrix are highly enriched and restricted at the stem cell niche, we anticipate that our investigation into these questions provides better insight into the physiological roles of the stem cell niche components, and helps us to rationally direct stem cell fates in future stem cell-based therapeutic interventions.
