title: Substrate effects of gel surfaces on cell adhesion and disruption.
abstract: Substrate effects of hydrogel surfaces prepared on hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates on the cell adhesion and disruption were studied. The adhesion of tobacco protoplasts onto anionic hydrogels was strongly influenced by the substrates on which the gels were synthesized. In the case of anionic poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) gel, more cells adhered on the gel surface prepared on hydrophobic substrates than that prepared on hydrophilic substrates. On the other hand, in the case of cationic quaternized poly-(dimethylaminopropylacrylamide) gel, cell disruption occurred in a few seconds accompanied with an intensive release of cellular contents on the gel surface prepared on the hydrophilic substrates, while the cationic gel synthesized on hydrophobic substrates induced no cell disruption. These different behaviors of the cell have been made in terms of different structures of gel surfaces associated with the presence of flexible dangling chains.
