The invention provides a molecular self-
assembly integrin patch for regulating and controlling mechanical signals of cells as well as a preparation method and application of the molecular self-
assembly integrin patch, and an
extracellular matrix (ECM) bionic
cell patch is constructed through a molecular self-
assembly technology. According to the patch, a
laminin-derived
integrin binding ligand is extended and self-assembled through an N-terminal aromatic
amino acid to form a fibrous nano network, and the patch has controllable nano-scale ligand distribution, network
viscoelasticity and stability, and can specifically activate integrin beta1 at the top end of MSC (
mesenchymal stem cell), so that a mechanical
signal is conducted from a
cell membrane to a
cell nucleus. The process coordinates
cytoskeleton reconstruction, nuclear deformation and
chromatin rearrangement, and finally drives the MSC to efficiently differentiate into
neuron-like cells under the condition of no exogenous
gene or chemical induction, so as to express nerve markers such as TUBB3 and present functional characteristics such as spontaneous
calcium transient. The cell patch can be widely applied to nerve regeneration,
tissue engineering,
disease model construction and intelligent biological material development.
