? 2022 Elsevier B.V.In the process of tumorigenesis and development, cancer cells must integrate and respond to complex and dynamic signals in the tumor microenvironment. Nevertheless, simulating the original biomechanical and biochemical microenvironment of different cells in vitro is a fundamental challenge in studying synergistic effects. To address this issue, we have proposed a biomimetic multi-factor stimulation platform, which conveniently creates a two-dimensional matrix environment with controllable stiffness as biomechanical factor and can smoothly introduce biochemical cue. Our results indicated that the extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness could enhance the cell stretching, which further lead to the amplification of cell-matrix adhesion and proliferation. And there existed obvious differences of endocytosis efficiency response of cells on matrix stiffness. Nanoparticles (NPs) with the same size and shape, but differs in electrical charges showed more uptake on harder matrix. Besides, the inorganic polyphosphates (polyP), which acts as energy storage and producer in the in-extracellular space, was proven to synergistically promote aforementioned cell biomechanical behaviors by increasing ATP metabolism for the first time. These results explored the impact of microenvironmental performance on the glioma mechanoresponses, and we believe this biomimetic multifactor stimulation method would exhibit a profound impact on researches of in vitro biomimetic cell culture and NPs-like drug phagocytosis.
