15 I.2.3 - Mechanotransduction and Stem Cells I.2.3.1 - Mechanotransduction and MSCs differentiation Living tissues are known to possess different physiologic characteristics according to their function and cellular type, so considering the elasticity of solid tissues, very different values of elasticity can be found as shown in Figure 4. The solid tissues exhibit a range of stiffness, as measured by the elastic modulus, E (Engler et al., 2006). Figure 4 – Tissue Elasticity. Range of stiffness measured by the elastic modulus, E, of some human solid tissues. Adapted from Engler et al., 2006. Mesenchymal stem cells will differentiate into different phenotypes as a function of substrate stiffness. The lineage they can differentiate into when cultured on a substrate with a certain range of stiffness has phenotypic features similar to cells found in the solid tissues with the same range of stiffness (Figure 4), and MSCs appear to do so in a way that would promote tissue-specific differentiation and healing (Engler et al., 2006). For example, on brain-tissue-like stiffness cells undergo neuronal-like differentiation, whereas muscle-equivalent stiffness promotes myogenesis (Figure 5) (Engler et al., 2006).

Furthermore in C) MSCs change their morphology developing increasingly branched, spindle, or polygonal shapes, respectively, when cultured on matrices with the elastic modulus (E) respectively in the range typical of brain (0.1–1 kPa), muscle (8– 17 kPa), or stiff crosslinked-collagen matrices (25–40 kPa). Blebbistatin blocks morphology changes due to stiffness (
