GRGDS and Fibronectin Adhesion-promoting Peptide (Heparin Binding Peptide: WQPPRARI) micropatterns increase the endothelialisation of prosthetic materials in vitro. Fibronectin Adhesion-promoting Peptide also enhances haptotactic cell migration. The anti-apoptotic effects of fibronectin require the presence of the WQPPRARI sequence, which may be due to synergistic survival signals mediated by this sequence and by the RGD motif. RDGS and Fibronectin Adhesion-promoting Peptide promote cell adhesion through different activation pathways that induce different forms of adhesion which can be highlighted through the analysis of focal and fibrillar contacts.
