description Tissue engineering concepts, which are concerned with the attachment and growth of specific cell types, frequently employ immobilized ligands that interact preferentially with cell types of interest. Creating multicellular grafts such as heart valves calls for scaffolds with spatial control over the different cells involved. Cardiac heart valves are mainly constituted out of two cell types, endothelial cells and valvular interstitial cells. To have control over where which cell type can be attracted would enable targeted cell settlement and growth contributing to the first step of an engineered construct. For endothelial cells, constituting the outer lining of the valve tissue, several specific peptide ligands have been described. Valvular interstitial cells, representing the bulk of the leaflet, have not been investigated in this regard. Two receptors, the integrin α9β1 and CD44, are known to be highly expressed on valvular interstitial cells. Here, we demonstrate that by covalently grafting the corresponding peptide and polysaccharide ligand onto an erodible, polycaprolactone (PCL), and a non-degradable, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polymer, surfaces were generated that strongly support valvular interstitial cell colonization with minimal endothelial cell and reduced platelet adhesion. The technology for covalent binding of corresponding ligands is a key element towards tissue engineered cardiac valves for in vitro applications, but also towards future in vivo application, especially in combination with degradable scaffold material.
