الوصف: | The mechanical properties of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) change extensively, but these specific properties provide a relatively stable environment for resident cells. Although the effect of matrix stiffness on cell functions has been widely studied, the molecular mechanism was still not fully understood. Matrix stiffening is a common phenomenon in tissue damaging processes. To explore the effect of the increase in local matrix stiffness on cell behaviors, a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture system with a tunable modulus but constant other physical parameters was constructed by the alginate hydrogel with different molecular weights and cross-linking degrees. By using this culture system, the transcriptome response of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to matrix stiffness was explored. Furthermore, a finite element model was developed to simulate the interaction between cells and the matrix. Results revealed that the increased matrix stiffness promoted the proliferation-related signaling of MSCs, and this process depended on the increased cortex tension caused by the activation of RAS and myosin II. |
