Anchorage-dependent cultivation of human epithelial and keratinocyte cells was carried out on surfaces modified with synthesized dendrimers. Notable elongation of the epithelial cells was recognized on the culture surface immobilized with a dendrimer having <sc><font size = -2>D</font></sc>-glucose as a functional ligand, but not when a dendrimer having <sc><font size = -2>L</font></sc>-glucose was used or when the dendrimer was ligand-free. This morphological change was attributable to a temporary grasping of the cells at the <sc><font size = -2>D</font></sc>-glucose moiety via a glucose transporter-mediated mechanism present in the cell membrane. Following visualization of the actin filaments of the cells, it was considered that the cellular elongation on the <sc><font size = -2>D</font></sc>-glucose-bound dendrimer surface reflected the degree of formation of the cellular cytoskeleton. The cellular roundness was calculated by means of image analysis of the individual cells and employed as a parameter to evaluate the formation of the cellular cytoskeleton. In the culture of keratinocytes on the <sc><font size = -2>D</font></sc>-glucose-bound dendrimer surface, it was demonstrated that the decrease in the ratio of elongated cells (i.e., cells with a low roundness value) was correlated with the deterioration in the growth potential associated with cellular senescence.
