Reduced thrombogenicity of surface-treated Nitinol implants steered by altered protein adsorption. Acta Biomater 2022; 137:331-345. [PMID: 34673227 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Blood-contacting medical implants made of Nitinol and other titanium alloys, such as neurovascular flow diverters and peripheral stents, have the disadvantage of being highly thrombogenic. This makes the use of systemic (dual) anti-platelet/anticoagulant therapies inevitable with related risks of device thrombosis, bleeding and other complications. Meeting the urgent clinical demand for a less thrombogenic Nitinol surface, we describe here a simple treatment of standard, commercially available Nitinol that renders its surface ultra-hydrophilic and functionalized with phosphate ions. The efficacy of this treatment was assessed by comparing standard and surface-treated Nitinol disks and braids, equivalent to flow diverters. Static and dynamic (Chandler loop) blood incubation tests showed a drastic reduction of thrombus formation on treated devices. Surface chemistry and proteomic analysis indicated a key role of phosphate and calcium ions in steering blood protein adsorption and avoiding coagulation cascade activation and platelet adhesion. A good endothelialization of the surface confirmed the biocompatibility of the treated surface. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Titanium alloys such as Nitinol are biocompatible and show favorable mechanical properties, which led to their widespread use in medical implants. However, in contact with blood their surface triggers the activation of the intrinsic coagulation cascade, which may result in catastrophic thrombotic events. The presented results showed that a phosphate functionalization of the titanium oxide surface suppresses the activation of both coagulation cascade and platelets, avoiding the subsequent formation of a blood clot. This novel approach has therefore a great potential for mitigating the risks associated to either thrombosis or bleeding complications (due to systemic anticoagulation) in patients with cardiovascular implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE Alumina substrates are one of the commonly used scaffolds applied in cell culture, but in order to prevent formation of biofilm on the alumina substrate, these substrates are modified with carbon nanotube. METHODS The alumina substrate was made by a two-step anodization method and was then modified with carbon nanotubes by simple chemical reaction. The substrates were characterized with FTIR, SEM, EDX, 3D laser scanning digital microscope, contact angle (CA) and surface free energy (SFE). To determine how this modification influences the reduction of biofilm, biofilm of two various bacteria, Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), were investigated. RESULTS The biofilm on the modified substrate decreased due to the presence of carbon nanotubes and increased antibacterial properties. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were cultured onto flat alumina (FA) and nanoporous alumina-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NAMC) substrates to examine how the chemical modification and surface topography affects growth of DPSCs. CONCLUSION Cell attachment and proliferation were investigated with SEM and Presto Blue assay, and the findings show that the NAMC substrates are suitable for cell culture.

Abstract
In response to increased attention in literature, this work provides a qualitative review surrounding the application of silane-based coatings of metallic biomaterials for biomedical implants. Included herein is both a brief summary of existing knowledge and concepts regarding silane-based thin films, along with an analysis of recent peer-reviewed publications and advances towards their practical application for biomedical coatings. Specifically, the review identifies innovative silane-based coatings according to their molecular identity and film structure and analyses their impact on the biocorrosion resistance, protein adsorption, cell viability, and antimicrobial properties of the overall coated implant. It is shown that a range of common silanes clearly exhibit promising properties for biomedical implant coatings, but further work is needed, particularly on mechanisms of physiological interaction and characteristic effects of silane functional groups, before seeing clinical use. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
In this study, a new materials platform, utilizing the amorphous microstructure of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and the versatility of ion implantation, was developed for the fundamental investigation of cell responses to substrate-rigidity variations in the gigapascal modulus range, which was previously unattainable with polymeric materials. The surface rigidity of a Zr-Al-Ni-Cu-Y BMG was modulated with low-energy Ar-ion implantation because of the impartment of Ar nanobubbles into the amorphous matrix. Surface softening was achieved due to the formation of nanobubble-doped transitional zones in the Zr-based BMG substrate. Bone-forming cell studies on this newly designed platform demonstrated that mechanical cues, accompanied by the potential effects of other surface properties (i.e., roughness, morphology, and chemistry), contributed to modulating cell behaviors. Cell adhesion and actin filaments were found to be less established on less stiff surfaces, especially on the surface with an elastic modulus of 51 GPa. Cell growth appeared to be affected by surface-mechanical properties. A lower stiffness was generally related to a higher growth rate. Findings in this study broadened our fundamental understanding concerning the mechanosensing of bone cells on stiff substrates. It also suggests that surface mechanoengineering of metallic materials could be a potential strategy to promote osseointegration of such materials for bone-implant applications. Further investigations are proposed to fine-tune the ion implantation variables in order to further distinguish the surface-mechanical effect on bone-forming cell activities from the contributions of other surface properties.

Abstract
The surface wettability of biomaterials determines the biological cascade of events at the biomaterial/host interface. Wettability is modulated by surface characteristics, such as surface chemistry and surface topography. However, the design of current implant surfaces focuses mainly on specific micro- and nanotopographical features, and is still far from predicting the concomitant wetting behavior. There is an increasing interest in understanding the wetting mechanisms of implant surfaces and the role of wettability in the biological response at the implant/bone or implant/soft tissue interface. Fundamental knowledge related to the influence of surface roughness (i.e. a quantification of surface topography) on titanium and titanium alloy surface wettability, and the different associated wetting regimes, can improve our understanding of the role of wettability of rough implant surfaces on the biological outcome. Such an approach has been applied to biomaterial surfaces only in a limited way. Focusing on titanium dental and orthopaedic implants, the present study reviews the current knowledge on the wettability of biomaterial surfaces, encompassing basic and applied aspects that include measurement techniques, thermodynamic aspects of wetting and models predicting topographical and roughness effects on the wetting behavior.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of laser-induced surface features on the morphology, attachment and viability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at different periods of time, and to evaluate the biocompatibility of different zones: laser-melted zone (MZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ) and base metal (BM) in laser-treated NiTi alloy. The surface morphology and composition were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The cell morphology was examined by SEM while the cell counting and viability measurements were done by hemocytometer and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay. The results indicated that the laser-induced surface features, such as surface roughening, presence of anisotropic dendritic pattern and complete surface Ni oxidation were beneficial to improve the biocompatibility of NiTi as evidenced by the highest cell attachment (4 days of culture) and viability (7 days of culture) found in the MZ. The biocompatibility of the MZ was the best, followed by the BM with the HAZ being the worst. The defective and porous oxide layer as well as the coarse grained structure might attribute to the inferior cell attachment (4 days of culture) and viability (7 days of culture) on the HAZ compared with the BM which has similar surface morphology.

Abstract
Fluoride treatment is a commonly used technique or pre-treatment to optimize the degradation kinetic and improve the biocompatibility of magnesium-based implant. The influence of changed surface properties and degradation kinetics on subsequent protein adsorption and cytocompatibility is critical to understand the biocompatibility of the implant. In this study, a patent magnesium alloy Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy (JDBM) designed for cardiovascular stent application was treated by immersion in hydrofluoric acid. A 1.5 μm thick MgF2 layer was prepared. The surface roughness was increased slightly while the surface zeta potential was changed to a much more negative value after the treatment. Static contact angle test was performed, showing an increase in hydrophilicity and surface energy after the treatment. The MgF2 layer slowed down in vitro degradation rate, but lost the protection effect after 10 days. The treatment enhanced human albumin adsorption while no difference of human fibrinogen adsorption amount was observed. Direct cell adhesion test showed many more live HUVECs retained than bare magnesium alloy. Both treated and untreated JDBM showed no adverse effect on HUVEC viability and spreading morphology. The relationship between changed surface characteristics, degradation rate and protein adsorption, cytocompatibility was also discussed.

Abstract
In this study a label-free proteomic approach was used to investigate the composition of the layer of protein adsorbed to rough titanium (Ti) after exposure to human blood plasma. The influence of the protein layer on the surface free energy (SFE) of the Ti was evaluated by contact angle measurements. Ti discs were incubated with blood plasma for 180 min at 37 °C, and the proteins recovered were subjected to liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry analysis. A total of 129 different peptides were identified and assigned to 25 distinct plasma proteins. The most abundant proteins were fibronectin, serum albumin, apolipoprotein A-I, and fibrinogen, comprising 74.54% of the total spectral counts. Moreover, the protein layer increased the SFE of the Ti (p < 0.05). The layer adsorbed to the rough Ti surface was composed mainly of proteins related to cell adhesion, molecule transportation, and coagulation processes, creating a polar and hydrophilic interface for subsequent interactions with host cells.

Abstract
This review outlines the current understanding of the interactions of titanium and its alloys with blood components, and the ways in which surface modification techniques can be used to alter the surface physicochemical and topographical features that determine blood-material interactions. Surface modification of the spontaneously formed titanium oxide surface layer is a highly attractive means of improving haemocompatibility without forgoing the advantageous mechanical and physical properties of titanium and its alloys. A number of surface modification techniques and treatment processes are discussed in the context of enhancing the haemocompatibility of titanium and its alloys, with a view to optimising the clinical efficacy of blood-contacting devices and materials.

Abstract
In this work, the influence of particle size and surface functional groups on the adsorption behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) by three types of oxide nanoparticles (NPs), TiO(2) (50±5 nm), SiO(2) (30±5 nm), and Al(2)O(3) (150±5 nm for α type and 60±5 nm for γ type) was investigated in deionized water, in order to explore their interaction mechanisms without competitive influence of other ions. Bulkparticles (BPs) were also used for comparison with NPs. BSA adsorption maxima on oxide particles were controlled by the surface area and hydrogen content, while adsorption process was primarily induced by electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction and ligand exchange between BSA and oxide surfaces. With the increase of hydrogen content, the BSA adsorption mechanism switched from mainly hydrophobic interaction to hydrogen bonding and ligand exchange. Calculations, based on surface area and BSA size, suggested that a multilayer of BSA covered on α-Al(2)O(3), and single layer on the other oxide particle surfaces. BPs led to greater conformational change of BSA molecules after the adsorption on the surfaces of oxide particles though NPs adsorbed more BSA than BPs.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of glow discharge treatment of titania surfaces on plasma protein adsorption, by means of ellipsometry and mechanically assisted SDS elution. The adsorption and film elution of three plasma proteins, viz. human serum albumin (HSA), human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and laminin-1, as well as competitive adsorption from a mixture of the three proteins, showed that the adsorbed amount of the individual proteins after 1 h increased in the order HSA <IgG <laminin-1 ≤ protein mixture. Film elutability showed that 30 min of SDS interaction resulted in almost complete removal of adsorbed films. No difference in the total adsorbed amounts of individual proteins, or from the mixture, was observed between untreated and glow discharge treated titania surfaces. However, the composition of the adsorbed films from the mixture differed between the untreated and glow discharge treated substrata. On glow discharge-treated titania the fraction of HSA increased, the fraction of laminin-1 decreased and the fraction of IgG was unchanged compared to the adsorption on the untreated titania, which was attributed to protein-protein interactions and competitive/associative adsorption behaviour.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the capacity of human serum proteins to bind to titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) particles of different polymorphs and sizes. METHODS TiO(2) particles were mixed with diluted human serum, purified human serum albumin (HSA) or purified human serum gamma-globulin (HGG) solutions. After incubation at 37°C for 1 h, the particles were sedimented by centrifugation, and proteins in the supernatant, as well as those bound to the particles, were analyzed. RESULTS The total protein concentration in the supernatant was lowered by TiO(2), whereas the albumin/globulin ratio was elevated by the particles. Incubation with TiO(2) also lowered the immunoglobulin, pre-albumin, beta2-microglobulin, ceruloplasmin and retinol-binding protein levels, but not ferritin levels, in the supernatant. After sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), proteins in the supernatant, especially HGG, were observed to decrease, while those released from the particles (after adding 1% SDS and heating) increased, depending on the dose of TiO(2). Purified HGG and HSA were also bound to TiO(2), although the former appeared to have a higher affinity. All the proteins tested showed the highest binding potency to the amorphous particles (<50 nm) and the lowest to the rutile particles (<5,000 nm), while binding to anatase particles was intermediate. The affinity to the larger anatase was higher than that to smaller anatase particles in most cases. CONCLUSIONS Human serum proteins, including the two major components, HSA and HGG, are bound by TiO(2) particles. The polymorph of the particles seems to be important for determining the binding capacity of the particles and it may affect distribution of the particles in the body.

Abstract
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) demonstrate attractive properties for potential biomedical applications, owing to their amorphous structure. The present work has investigated the biocompatibility of Zr-based BMGs by studying the cellular behavior of bone-forming mouse MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells. A Ti-6Al-4V alloy was used as a reference material. Pre-immersion treatment was performed on BMG samples in phosphate-buffered saline prior to cell experiments. The effects of 1at.% yttrium alloying and surface roughness on cellular behavior were examined. The general biosafety of Zr-based BMGs for MC3T3-E1 cells was revealed as normal cell responses. Pre-immersion treatment was found to effectively reduce the surface concentrations of alloying elements. Micro-alloying with 1 at.% yttrium did not significantly affect cell adhesion and proliferation, but slightly decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity on rough surfaces. Lower cell adhesion and proliferation were found on smooth surfaces of Zr-based BMGs compared to their rougher counterparts. Higher ALP activity was detected on rougher surfaces. To obtain a mechanistic understanding surface free energy was correlated with cell adhesion.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to assess the contribution of protein adsorption and cell growth to increases in electrode impedance that occur immediately following implantation of cochlear implant electrodes and other neural stimulation devices. An in vitro model of the electrode-tissue interface was used. Radiolabelled albumin in phosphate buffered saline was added to planar gold electrodes and electrode impedance measured using a charge-balanced biphasic current pulse. The polarization impedance component increased with protein adsorption, while no change to access resistance was observed. The maximum level of protein adsorbed was measured at 0.5 µg cm(-2), indicating a tightly packed monolayer of albumin molecules on the gold electrode and resin substrate. Three cell types were grown over the electrodes, macrophage cell line J774, dissociated fibroblasts and epithelial cell line MDCK, all of which created a significant increase in electrode impedance. As cell cover over electrodes increased, there was a corresponding increase in the initial rise in voltage, suggesting that cell cover mainly contributes to the access resistance of the electrodes. Only a small increase in the polarization component of impedance was seen with cell cover.

Factors influencing osteoblast maturation on microgrooved titanium substrata. Biomaterials 2010; 31:3804-15.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate surfaces with various dimensions of microgrooves fabricated by photolithography and subsequent acid etching that enhance various characteristics of titanium. Microgrooves with truncated V-shape in cross-section from 15 to 90 microm widths enabled us to report their exclusive effects on altering the surface chemistry and on enhancing the surface hydrophilicity, serum protein adsorption and osteoblast maturation on titanium substrata in a microgroove dimension-dependent manner. Further, acid etching and measurement direction separately affected the surface hydrophilicity results. By multiple correlation and regression analyses, surface chemistry, surface hydrophilicity and serum protein adsorption were determined to be the significant influential factors on osteoblast maturation. Within the limitations of this study, we conclude that combined submicron- and microtopography with relevant micro-dimension and structure enhance various characteristics of titanium, including surface hydrophilicity, which act as the essential factors influencing the osteoblast maturation on microgrooved titanium substrata.

Abstract
In this work, the in situ interaction between Ti-6Al-4V alloy and osteoblastic cells has been studied by electrochemical techniques as a function of time. The interaction has been monitored for cell adhesion and growth of human osteoblastic Saos-2 cells on Ti-6Al-4V samples. The study has been carried out by electrochemical techniques, e.g., studying the evolution of corrosion potential with exposure time and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The impedance results have been analyzed by using different equivalent circuit models that simulate the interface state at each testing time. The adhesion of the osteoblastic cells on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy leads to surface areas with different cell coverage rates, thus showing the different responses in the impedance diagrams with time. The effect of the cells on the electrochemical response of Ti-6Al-4V alloy is clearly seen after 4 days of testing, in which two isolated and well-differentiated time constants are clearly observed. One of these is associated with the presence of the cells and the other with a passive film on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. After 7 days of culture, the system is governed by a resistive component over a wide frequency range which is associated with an increase in the cell coverage rate on the surface due to the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Bioactive glass (BG) can directly bond to living bone without fibrous tissue encapsulation. Key mechanistic steps of BG's activity are attributed to calcium phosphate formation, surface hydroxylation and fibronectin (FN) adsorption. In the present study, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanesilanes with different surface chemistry (OH, NH(2) and COOH) were used as a model system to mimic BG's surface activity. Calcium phosphate (Ca-P) was formed on SAMs by immersion in a solution that simulates the electrolyte content of physiological fluids. FN adsorption kinetics and monolayer coverage was determined on SAMs with or without Ca-P coating. The surface roughness was also examined on these substrates before and after FN adsorption. The effects of FN-adsorbed, Ca-P-coated SAMs on the function of MC3T3-E1 were evaluated by cell growth, expression of alkaline phosphatase activity and actin cytoskeleton formation. We demonstrate that, although the FN monolayer coverage and the root mean square (rms) roughness are similar on --OH and --COOH terminated SAMs with or without Ca-P coating, higher levels of ALP activity, more actin cytoskeleton formation and more cell growth are obtained on --OH- and --COOH-terminated SAMs with Ca-P coating. In addition, although the FN monolayer coverage is higher on Ca-P-coated --NH(2)-terminated SAMs and SiO(x) surfaces, higher levels of ALP activity and more cell growth are obtained on Ca-P-coated --OH- and --COOH-terminated SAMs. Thus, with the same Ca-P coatings, different surface functional groups have different effects on the function of osteoblastic cells. These findings represent new insights into the mechanism of bioactivity of BG and thereby may lead to designing superior constructs for bone grafting.

Abstract
Ultrathin titanium layers when deposited on the surface of gold can be successfully applied for infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) investigations. It was shown that the reflectivity, the phase shift, and the mean square electric field of the p- and s-polarized IR radiation in up to 20 nm thick titanium layers covered with a 3-4 nm thick layer of native oxide are comparable to those of the air/gold interface. The surface selection rule is fulfilled. Thus, qualitative and quantitative analysis of 1,2-dimyristoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) bilayers transferred in liquid expanded (LE) and liquid condensed (LC) states can be performed. Differences are found in the hydration state and molecular arrangement of the two investigated bilayers. In the DMPC bilayer in the LE state, the C-N bond in the positively charged choline moiety is inclined by approximately 70 degrees toward the surface of the negatively charged titanium substrate. In the phosphate moiety, the in-plane vector of the O-P-O group makes a small angle of approximately 15 degrees to the surface normal. This open structure of the lipid molecule corresponds to the B crystal structure of the DMPC molecule and provides space for strong hydration of the polar headgroup. In the DMPC bilayer in the LC state, the intermolecular distances are reduced; the C-N bond of the choline group makes a smaller angle to the surface normal, and the in-plane vector of the O-P-O group in the phosphate moiety displays a larger tilt. The degree of hydration is reduced. The arrangement of the polar headgroup region corresponds to the A crystal structure of the DMPC molecule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported that anodized porous titanium implants have photocatalytic hydrophilicity. However, this effect was not always sufficient for the significant improvement of bone apposition. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to improve the photocatalytic properties of porous titanium implants by the fluoride modification of the anodized titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), and to investigate the initial cell response to it. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ideal concentration of ammonium hydrogen fluoride (NH(4)F-HF(2)) used in this study was determined by a static water contact angle assay. The ideal concentration of NH(4)F-HF(2) was 0.175%, and experimental disks were treated with this concentration. A pluripotent mesenchymal cell line, C2C12, was cultured on the disks in order to investigate cell attachment, morphology, and proliferation. RESULTS Cell attachment after 30 minutes of culturing was significantly higher for the ultraviolet-irradiated, fluoride-modified anodized TiO(2) (p < .05), and the simultaneous scanning electron microscope observation showed a rather flattened and extended cell morphology. The proliferation rate after 24 hours was also significantly higher for the fluoride-modified anodized TiO(2). CONCLUSION Fluoride chemical modification enhances the hydrophilic property of the anodized TiO(2) and improves the initial cell response to it.

Abstract
Porous HA/TCP bioceramics were immersed in pure bovine serum to observe the growth and
formation of apatite. HRTEM, FTIR, and SEM coupled with EDS were used for the characterization of
immersed samples. SEM results showed that some beamed crystals formed on the surface of ceramics
granules, and with postponement of immersion time, crystals extended and became bigger, strap-like
crystals became sheet-like crystals. HRTEM observations indicated that new-formed crystals developed
along axes direction according to parallel layers. IR spectrum showed CO3
2- characteristic peaks existed
besides O-P-O and OH- characteristic peaks. EDS results showed that calcium and phosphor ratio was
1.95 (mol ratio). The results indicated that bovine serums were advantaged to bone-like apatite formation.

Abstract
The effect of patterned surface topography on the adsorption of single polyelectrolyte molecules is explored using Brownian dynamics simulations. The polyelectrolyte is modeled as a free-draining, freely jointed bead-rod chain, and electrostatic interactions are incorporated using a screened Coulombic potential with excluded volume interactions accounted for by the repulsive part of a Lennard-Jones potential. Topography consisting of periodically spaced valleys of square cross section separated by flat hills is considered. Chain conformations are characterized for a wide range of valley widths, depths, and spacings as well as for several different types of surface charge distributions. Depending on the parameter values describing the topography, the chains are found to adopt conformations ranging from flat and extended to those associated with bridge-, brush-, or semi-bridge-like structures. The formation of these structures is rationalized on the basis of a free-energy model that takes into account the increase in free energy due to entropic confinement, excluded volume interactions, and chain stretching as well as the decrease in free energy due to bead-surface electrostatic attraction. The results of this work are expected to be useful in designing patterned surface topography to control the conformations of adsorbed polyelectrolyte molecules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The anatase form of titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most common crystalline forms of TiO2 and is normally produced by oxidation of titanium via thermal oxidation or anodizing. This crystalline form exhibits photocatalytic activity when it is irradiated with ultraviolet A (UVA) light. The aim of the current study was to analyze the crystal structure of anodic-oxidized TiUnite implants and to confirm the photocatalytic properties in vitro and in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cross-sectional observations by transmission electron microscopy were used to determine the surface crystal structure on the TiUnite implant. Subsequently, photocatalytic activity was confirmed by degradation of methylene blue, and hydrophilicity was measured based on the water contact angle. Furthermore, the in vivo effects of the photocatalytic activity of this compound were investigated. RESULTS An amorphous layer that was about 10 microm thick was observed on the TiUnite implant surface. In the amorphous layer, the anatase form of the crystalline TiO2 was identified. Photocatalytic activity was clearly demonstrated by the bleaching effect of methylene blue under UVA illumination. The contact angle decreased from 44 degrees to 11 degrees after UVA illumination. Although these data suggest increased hydrophilicity for the TiUnite implant, the bone-to-metal contact at 4 weeks was not influenced. CONCLUSION The anodic-oxidized TiUnite implant has inherent photocatalytic activity. UVA illumination increases the surface hydrophilicity of the implant. However, this increase in hydrophilicity does not improve bone apposition to the implant surface at 4 weeks.

Abstract
An investigation on the relationship between protein adsorption and zeta potentials of a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic was carried out. Zeta potentials of the BCP ceramic particles were measured at various aqueous solutions. Bovine serum album (BSA) and its competitive adsorption with lysozyme (LSZ) on BCP were investigated using conventional protein adsorption and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) methods. The results showed that zeta potential and the amount of adsorbed BSA were both influenced by pH, ionic strength, Ca2+ and PO4(3-) concentrations in the buffers. The variation tendencies of BSA adsorption were consistent with that of zeta potentials to some extent. The co-adsorption of BSA and LSZ on BCP was confirmed by the PAGE gel pattern. The semi-quantitative analysis for the detected protein bands proved that LSZ had higher affinity for BCP than BSA and would preferentially bind to the surface. Electrostatic interaction played an important role in protein adsorption on the surface of the BCP ceramic particles.

Abstract
Improvements in the wettability of the Ti6Al4V alloy following CO(2) laser treatment were identified as being due mainly to the increase in surface roughness, surface oxygen content and surface energy of the material. Untreated and mechanically roughened samples had higher amounts of adsorbed albumin and lower amounts of adsorbed fibronectin than CO(2) laser treated samples. Moreover, as the wettability of the Ti6Al4V alloy increased the adsorbed amounts of fibronectin increased, while the adsorbed amounts of albumin decreased--indicating the controllability of the CO(2) laser process. From this finding it is possible to assert that the wettability of the Ti6Al4V alloy was the prime influence on the observed changes in in vitro protein adsorption. Further, the noted considerable change in the polar component of surface energy, [Formula: see text], on the protein adsorption implied that the protein adsorption on the Ti6Al4V alloy was probably due to the polar and chemical interactions. This work has demonstrated that CO(2) laser radiation could be a suitable means to modify the wettability of the Ti6Al4V alloy and thereby manipulate protein adsorption and consequently render the material more bone cell responsive.

Abstract
Surface wettability is an important physicochemical property of biomaterials, and it would be more helpful for understanding this property if a wide range of wettability are employed. This study focused on the effect of surface wettability on fibroblast adhesion over a wide range of wettability using a single material without changing surface topography. Plasma polymerization with hexamethyldisiloxane followed by oxygen (O2)-plasma treatment was employed to modify the surfaces. The water contact angle of sample surfaces varied from 106 degrees (hydrophobicity) to almost 0 degrees (super-hydrophilicity). O2 functional groups were introduced on polymer surfaces during O2-plasma treatment. The cell attachment study confirmed that the more hydrophilic the surface, the more fibroblasts adhered in the initial stage that includes super-hydrophilic surfaces. Cells spread much more widely on the hydrophilic surfaces than on the hydrophobic surfaces. There was no significant difference in fibroblast proliferation, but cell spreading was much greater on the hydrophilic surfaces. The fibronectin adsorbed much more on a hydrophilic surface while albumin dominated on a hydrophobic surface in a competing mode. These findings suggest the importance of the surface wettability of biomaterials on initial cell attachment and spreading. The degree of wettability should be taken into account when a new biomaterial is to be employed.

Abstract
Human fibronectin (FN) plays a key role in the biointegration of implants as the success depends on adsorption of proteins like FN [1]. Indeed FN can be an intermediary between the biomaterial surface and cells. The adsorption of human fibronectin (FN) on commercially pure titanium with a titanium oxide layer formed in a H2O2 solution (TiO2 cp) and TiO2 sputtered on Si (TiO2 sp) was studied. Adsorption isotherms and the work of adhesion were assessed by wettability studies, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and by radiolabelling of FN with 125I, (125)I-FN. Exchangeability of bound FN by free FN, was also evaluated by the radiolabelling technique. Contact angle determinations have shown that FN displays higher affinity for the TiO2 cp surface than for the TiO2 sp. As expected from the surface free energy values, the work of adhesion of FN is higher for the TiO2 cp substrate, the more hydrophilic one, and lower for the TiO2 sp substrate, the more hydrophobic one. The adsorption isotherms were evaluated by two different techniques: radiolabelling of FN (125I-FN) and XPS. TiO2 cp adsorbs more FN than the TiO2 sp surfaces as shown by the radiolabelling data. FN molecules are also more strongly attached to the former surface as indicated by the work of adhesion and by the exchangeability studies. Results using 125I-FN also suggests that FN adsorbs as a multilayer for FN concentrations in solution higher than 100 microg/mL.

Abstract
An appropriate cellular response to implanted surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration and integration. It is well described that implanted materials are immediately coated with proteins from blood and interstitial fluids, and it is through this adsorbed layer that cells sense foreign surfaces. Hence, it is the adsorbed proteins, rather than the surface itself, to which cells initially respond. Diverse studies using a range of materials have demonstrated the pivotal role of extracellular adhesion proteins--fibronectin and vitronectin in particular--in cell adhesion, morphology, and migration. These events underlie the subsequent responses required for tissue repair, with the nature of cell surface interactions contributing to survival, growth, and differentiation. The pattern in which adhesion proteins and other bioactive molecules adsorb thus elicits cellular reactions specific to the underlying physicochemical properties of the material. Accordingly, in vitro studies generally demonstrate favorable cell responses to charged, hydrophilic surfaces, corresponding to superior adsorption and bioactivity of adhesion proteins. This review illustrates the mediation of cell responses to biomaterials by adsorbed proteins, in the context of osteoblasts and selected materials used in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering. It is recognized, however, that the periimplant environment in vivo will differ substantially from the cell-biomaterial interface in vitro. Hence, one of the key issues yet to be resolved is that of the interface composition actually encountered by osteoblasts within the sequence of inflammation and bone regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of the present investigation was to compare the in vitro bacterial retention on saliva-coated implant materials (pure titanium grade 2 (cp-Ti) and a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) surfaces), presenting similar surface roughness, and to assess the influence of physico-chemical surface properties of bacterial strain and implant materials on in vitro bacterial adherence. Two bacterial strains (one hydrophilic strain and one hydrophobic strain) were used and the following were evaluated: bacterial cell adherence, SFE values as well as the Lifshitz-van-der Waals, the Lewis acid base components of SFE, the interfacial free energy and the non-dispersive interactions according to two complementary contact angle measurement methods: the sessile drop method and the captive bubble method. Our results showed similar patterns of adherent bacterial cells on saliva-coated cp-Ti and saliva-coated Ti-6Al-4V. These findings could suggest that bacterial colonization (i.e. plaque formation) is similar on saliva-coated cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V surfaces and indicate that both materials could be suitable for use as transgingival abutment or healing implant components. The same physico-chemical properties exhibited by saliva-coated cp-Ti and TA6V, as shown by the sessile drop method and the captive bubble method, could explain this similar bacterial colonisation. Therefore, higher values of total surface free energy of saliva-coated cp-Ti and saliva-coated TA6V samples (gamma(SV) approximately 65mJ/m(2)) were reported using the captive bubble method indicating a less hydrophobic character of these surfaces than with the sessile drop method (gamma(S) approximately 44.50mJ/m(2)) and consequently possible differences in oral bacterial retention according the theory described by Absolom et al. The number of adherent hydrophobic S. sanguinis cells was two-fold higher than that of hydrophilic S. constellatus cells. Our results confirm that physico-chemical surface properties of oral bacterial strains play a role in bacterial retention to implant materials in the presence of adsorbed salivary proteins.

Abstract
Biological events occurring at the implant-host interface, including protein adsorption are mainly influenced by surface properties of the implant. Titanium alloys, one of the most widely used implants, has shown good biocompatibility primarily through its surface oxide. In this study, a surface sol-gel process based on the surface reaction of metal alkoxides with a hydroxylated surface was used to prepare ultrathin titanium oxide (TiOx) coatings on silicon wafers. The oxide deposited on the surface was then modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of silanes with different functional groups. Interesting surface morphology trends and protein adhesion properties of the modified titanium oxide surfaces were observed as studied by non-specific protein binding of serum albumin. The surface properties were investigated systematically using water contact angle, ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Results showed that the surface sol-gel process predominantly formed homogeneous, but rough and porous titanium oxide layers. The protein adsorption was dependent primarily on the silane chemistry, packing of the alkyl chains (extent of van der Waals interaction), morphology (porosity and roughness), and wettability of the sol-gel oxide. Comparison was made with a thermally evaporated TiOx-Ti/Si-wafer substrate (control). This method further extends the functionalization of surface sol-gel derived TiOx layers for possible titanium alloy bioimplant surface modification.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) is used for implantable devices because of its biocompatible oxide surface layer. TiO2 surfaces that have a complex microtopography increase bone-to-implant contact and removal torque forces in vivo and induce osteoblast differentiation in vitro. Studies examining osteoblast response to controlled surface chemistries indicate that hydrophilic surfaces are osteogenic, but TiO2 surfaces produced until now exhibit low surface energy because of adsorbed hydrocarbons and carbonates from the ambient atmosphere or roughness induced hydrophobicity. Novel hydroxylated/hydrated Ti surfaces were used to retain high surface energy of TiO2. Osteoblasts grown on this modified surface exhibited a more differentiated phenotype characterized by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin and generated an osteogenic microenvironment through higher production of PGE2 and TGF-beta1. Moreover, 1alpha,25OH2D3 increased these effects in a manner that was synergistic with high surface energy. This suggests that increased bone formation observed on modified Ti surfaces in vivo is due in part to stimulatory effects of high surface energy on osteoblasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Plaque accumulation, leading to inflammatory processes and bone loss, is one of the main reasons for failure of dental implants. Pellicle formation plays a key role in bacterial adhesion and plaque accumulation. The influence of experimental bioactive implant surface coatings on the initial process of pellicle formation was investigated in a model system. METHODS TiO2-films were modified by covalent binding of laminin and human epidermal growth factor (EGF) to promote adhesion of epithelial cells. Adsorption and dissociation behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and salivary proteins on these surfaces were monitored by time-resolved reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS). RESULTS The thickness of the irreversibly adsorbed salivary protein layer was reduced from 2.78 +/- 0.71 nm on unmodified TiO2 to 0.78 +/- 0.22 nm on laminin-coated surfaces and to 1.18 +/- 0.29 nm on EGF-coated surfaces. The percentage of initially adsorbed proteins remaining irreversibly bound was reduced from 51 +/- 8% on titanium to 23 +/- 5% by laminin coating and to 44 +/- 11% on EGF-coated surfaces. The highest reduction of protein adsorption (layer thickness lower than 0.05 nm) was achieved on DC-PEG-layers used as spacer for protein coupling. SIGNIFICANCE Laminin and EGF were shown to be promising candidates for use as biological coatings on the transmucosal part of titanium dental implants where the objective is to enhance epithelial adhesion and inhibit adsorption of salivary proteins and bacteria.

Abstract
The biocompatibility of implant materials used for substitution of bone tissue depends on its ability to induce the deposition of a hydroxyapatite layer when in contact with body fluids. In previous work, some of the authors found that bovine serum albumin (BSA) promotes calcium phosphate deposition if preadsorbed on hydroxyapatite and retards precipitation if preadsorbed on titania. In the present study, we investigated the adsorption of BSA upon particles of titania and hydroxyapatite in order to understand the different role played by the protein on the mineralization of both biomaterials. The adsorption isotherms were determined and the structural changes induced by adsorption at different surface coverages were investigated by circular dichroism spectroscopy and differential scanning microcalorimetry. At low surface coverages, the adsorbed BSA molecules lost part of their alpha-helix content. However, at high surface coverages, corresponding to the plateau values of the adsorption isotherms, the BSA molecules did not undergo structural rearrangements upon adsorption. In the latter circumstances, the availability of BSA calcium binding sites, which should be responsible for inducing mineralization, depends on the electrostatic interactions between BSA and the sorbent surface. A possible explanation for the different mineralization behavior of hydroxyapatite and titania is advanced.

Abstract
The nature of the surface strongly influences the composition and recognizability of the adsorbed protein layer, which in turn affects the subsequent cellular interactions. Thus, to understand the biological response to a material, especially in vitro, one must fully understand the nature of the adsorbed protein film that forms on the material. This study investigates the fundamental interactions between the human serum albumin (no-cell adhesive) and human plasma fibronectin and bioinert ceramic following CO(2) laser treatment. The analysis of the albumin and fibronectin adsorption was conducted on the untreated and CO(2) laser-modified magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (MgO-PSZ) bioceramic using an ellipsometry. It was found that the adsorptions of albumin and fibronectin were influenced by the surface properties. The albumin adsorption was affected by the surface roughness and wettability characteristics of the MgO-PSZ and decreased with these properties, while the fibronectin adsorption was increased with wettability characteristics and predominantly governed by this property. Moreover, the considerable change in the polar component of surface energy, gamma(sv) (p), and its effect on protein adsorption implied that the albumin and fibronectin adsorption on the MgO-PSZ surfaces was probably due to the polar and chemical interactions. The value of this work is to provide a novel technique and useful information for manipulating protein adsorption and thereof cellular interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electron microscopic studies have suggested that the volume density of collagen-containing vacuoles in fibroblasts is higher in the periodontal ligament (PDL) than in the gingiva. Whether this difference reflects intrinsic differences in phagocytic capacity among the cells in these tissues is not known. METHODS PDL and gingival fibroblasts were isolated from subjects and cultured under identical conditions in the presence of fluorescent beads coated with collagen type I, III, or V or fibronectin. Control beads were coated with bovine serum albumin or an enamel matrix protein mixture that does not constitute part of the extracellular matrix of PDL and gingiva. After various time intervals (1 to 24 hours), the percentage of cells that had internalized beads was assessed by flow cytometry. Since alkaline phosphatase activity has been suggested to play a role in collagen phagocytosis, the activity of this enzyme was determined for all cell populations. RESULTS The results demonstrated the following order in the percentage of cells internalizing protein-coated beads: fibronectin > collagen type I > III > V. Internalization of collagen type I-coated beads exceeded that of beads coated with bovine serum albumin or enamel matrix proteins by 6 and 3 times, respectively. No differences were observed in collagen phagocytic activity between PDL and gingival fibroblasts, and no relationship could be demonstrated between collagen phagocytosis and alkaline phosphatase activity. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that differences in collagen phagocytosis between PDL and gingiva, as observed in vivo, are not likely to be explained in terms of intrinsic phagocytic capacities of these cells.

Abstract
The effect of surface roughness of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti alloy) on the short- and long-term response of human bone marrow cells in vitro and on protein adsorption was investigated. Three different values in a narrow range of surface roughness were used for the substrata (R(alpha): 0.320, 0.490 and 0.874 microm). Cell attachment, cell proliferation and differentiation (alkaline phosphatase specific activity) were determined past various incubation periods. The protein adsorption of bovine serum albumin and fibronectin, from single protein solutions, on rough and smooth Ti alloy surfaces was examined with two methods, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and radiolabeling. Cell attachment and proliferation were surface roughness sensitive and increased as the roughness of Ti alloy increased. No statistically significant difference was observed in the expression of ALP activity on all three Ti alloy surfaces and culture plastic. Both methods, XPS and protein radiolabeling, showed that human serum albumin was adsorbed preferentially onto the smooth substratum. XPS technique showed that the rough substratum bound a higher amount of total protein (from culture medium supplied with 10% serum) and fibronectin (10-fold) than did the smooth one. The cell attachment may be explained by the differential adsorption of the two proteins onto smooth and rough Ti alloy surfaces.
