A novel method for patterning cellular co-cultures that uses the layer-by-layer deposition of ionic biopolymers is described. Non-biofouling hyaluronic acid (HA) micropatterns were used to immobilize cells and proteins to glass substrates. Subsequent ionic adsorption of poly-L-lysine (PLL) to HA patterns was used to switch the HA surfaces from cell repulsive to adherent thereby facilitating the adhesion of a second cell type. The utility of this approach to pattern co-cultures of hepatocytes or embryonic stem cells with fibroblasts was demonstrated. In addition, the versatility of this approach to generate patterned co-cultures irrespective of the primary cell seeding and relative adhesion of the seeded cells was demonstrated. Thus, the proposed method may be a useful tool for fabricating controlled cellular co-cultures for cell-cell interaction studies and tissue engineering applications. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
