It is essential to characterize the cellular properties of mesenchymal stem cell populations to maintain quality specifications and control in regenerative medicine. Biofunctional materials have been designed as artificial matrices for the stimulation of cell adhesion and specific cellular functions. We have developed recombinant maltose-binding protein (MBP)-fused proteins as artificial adhesion matrices to control human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) fate by using an integrin-independent heparin sulfate proteoglycans-mediated cell adhesion. In this study, we characterize cell adhesion-dependent cellular behaviors of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) and human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs). We used an MBP-fused basic fibroblast growth factor (MF)-coated surface and fibronectin (FN)-coated surface to restrict and support, respectively, integrin-mediated adhesion. The cells adhered to MF exhibited restricted actin cytoskeleton organization and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation. The hASCs and hBMSCs exhibited different cytoplasmic projection morphologies on MF. Both hASCs and hBMSCs differentiated more dominantly into osteogenic cells on FN than on MF. In contrast, hASCs differentiated more dominantly into adipogenic cells on MF than on FN, whereas hBMSCs differentiated predominantly into adipogenic cells on FN. The results indicate that hASCs exhibit a competitive differentiation potential (osteogenesis vs. adipogenesis) that depends on the cell adhesion matrix, whereas hBMSCs exhibit both adipogenesis and osteogenesis in integrin-mediated adhesion and thus hBMSCs have noncompetitive differentiation potential. We suggest that comparing differentiation behaviors of hMSCs with the diversity of cell adhesion is an important way to characterize hMSCs for regenerative medicine.
