Abstract
The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (i.e., materiobiology) plays an increasingly pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds to treat diseases, aid in the restoration of bodily functions, construct healthy tissues, or regenerate diseased ones. However, the conventional approaches are incapable of screening the huge amount of potential material parameter combinations to identify the optimal cell responses and involve a combination of serendipity and many series of trial-and-error experiments. For advanced tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, highly efficient and complex bioanalysis platforms are expected to explore the complex interaction of cells with biomaterials using combinatorial approaches that offer desired complex microenvironments during healing, development, and homeostasis. In this review, we first introduce materiobiology and its high-throughput screening (HTS). Then we present an in-depth of the recent progress of 2D/3D HTS platforms (i.e., gradient and microarray) in the principle, preparation, screening for materiobiology, and combination with other advanced technologies. The Compendium for Biomaterial Transcriptomics and high content imaging, computational simulations, and their translation toward commercial and clinical uses are highlighted. In the final section, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed. High-throughput experimentation within the field of materiobiology enables the elucidation of the relationships between biomaterial properties and biological behavior and thereby serves as a potential tool for accelerating the development of high-performance biomaterials.

MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12172748. [PMID: 31461930 PMCID: PMC6747835 DOI: 10.3390/ma12172748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Revised: 08/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The enhancement of oral epithelial adhesion to the trans-mucosal material of dental implants may improve their long-term stability. The aim of this study is to investigate whether hydrothermal treatment with distilled water (HT-DW) applied to a Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) alloy could improve epithelial cellular attachment. We hypothesized that this treatment would enhance the adsorption of proteins and the adhesion of gingival epithelial GE1 cells. This treatment changed the surface crystal structure into an anatase type of titanium oxide without an apparent change of surface roughness or topography. Nitrogen was not detected on the HT-DW-treated Ti64, which indicates decontamination. HT-DW-treated Ti64 exhibited a hydrophilic surface with a less than 10° angle of water contact. Adsorption of laminin-332 to the HT-DW-treated Ti64 was significantly greater than that of the untreated Ti64 plates (64). The number of GE1 cells on the HT-DW-treated Ti64 at 1 and 3 days was significantly lower than that on 64; however, cell adhesion strength on HT-DW was greater, with a higher expression of integrin β4, compared with 64. This indicates that the HT-DW treatment of Ti64 improves the integration of GE1 cells, which might facilitate the development of a soft tissue barrier around the implant.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate blood and platelet response to nanostructured TiO2 coatings and to investigate the effect of Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment on blood clotting ability, platelet activation and protein adhesion. Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy plates (n = 138) were divided into three groups; a sol-gel derived MetAliveTM coating (MA); hydrothermal coating (HT); and a non-coated group (NC). Sixty nine titanium substrates were further treated with UV light for 1 h. The thrombogenicity of the titanium substrates was assessed using fresh human blood with a whole blood kinetic clotting time method. The platelet adhesion test was conducted to evaluate the morphology and adhesion behavior of the platelets on the titanium substrates. Human diluted plasma and bovine fibronectin were used to evaluate protein adsorption. Total clotting time for the UV treated HT, MA and NC titanium substrates was almost 40 min compared to 60 min for non-UV substrates, the total clotting time for the UV treated groups were significantly lower than that of the non UV NC group (p < 0.05). UV light treatment had significantly enhanced coagulation rates. The HT and MA substrates presented more platelet aggregation, spreading and pseudopod formation in comparison with the NC substrates. UV treatment did not affect the platelet activation and protein adsorption. This in vitro study concluded that nanostructured titanium dioxide implant surfaces obtained by sol-gel and hydrothermal coating methods increased coagulation rates and enhanced platelet response when compared with non-coated surfaces. UV light treatment clearly improved thrombogenicity of all examined Ti-6Al-4V surfaces.

Abstract
Purpose Surface properties of titanium alloys, used for orthopedic and dental applications, are known to affect implant interactions with host tissues. Osteointegration, bone growth and remodeling in the area surrounding the implants can be implemented by specific biomimetic treatments; these allow the preparation of micro/nanostructured titanium surfaces with a thickened oxide layer, doped with calcium and phosphorus ions. We have challenged these experimental titanium alloys with primary human bone marrow stromal cells to compare the osteogenic differentiation outcomes of the cells once they are seeded onto the modified surfaces, thus simulating a prosthetic device-biological interface of clinical relevance. Methods A specific anodic spark discharge was the biomimetic treatment of choice, providing experimental titanium disks treated with different alkali etching approaches. The disks, checked by electron microscopy and spectroscopy, were subsequently used as substrates for the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human cells. Expression of markers of the osteogenic lineage was assessed by means of qualitative and quantitative PCR, by cytochemistry, immunohistochemistry Western blot and matrix metalloprotease activity analyses. Results Metal surfaces were initially less permissive for cell growth. Untreated control substrates were less efficient in sustaining mineralized matrix deposition upon osteogenic induction of the cells. Interestingly, bone sialo protein and matrix metalloprotease 2 levels were enhanced on experimental metals compared to control surfaces, particularly for titanium oxide coatings etched with KOH. Discussion As a whole, the KOH-modification of titanium surfaces seems to allow the best osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells, representing a possible plus for future clinical prosthetic applications.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. The major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. The surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. Different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implant, including calcium phosphates and bioglass. However, these materials have been reported to have limited clinical success. The excellent bioactivity of calcium silicate (Ca-Si) has been also regarded as coating material. However, their high degradation rate and low mechanical strength limit their further coating application. Trace element modification of (Ca-Si) bioceramics is a promising method, which improves their mechanical strength and chemical stability. In this review, the potential of trace element-modified silicate coatings on better bone formation of titanium implant is investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Commercially pure Ti, together with Ti Ni, Ti-6Al-4V, and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys, are among the materials currently being used for this purpose. Titanium-zirconium (TiZr) has been developed that allows SLActive surface modification and that has comparable or better mechanical strength and improved biocompatibility compared with existing Ti alloys. Furthermore, approaches have targeted making the implant surface more hydrophilic, as with the Straumann SLActive surface, a modification of the SLA surface. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) to the behavior of neonatal rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells cultured on commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and titanium-zirconium alloy (TiZr) discs with hydrophilic surface properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS Osteoblast cells were cultured on titanium and TiZr discs, and PEMF was applied. Cell proliferation rates, cell numbers, cell viability rates, alkaline phosphatase, and midkine (MK) levels were measured at 24 and 72 hours. RESULTS At 24 hours, the number of cells was significantly higher in the TiZr group. At 72 hours, TiZr had a significantly higher number of cells when compared to SLActive, SLActive + PEMF, and machine surface + PEMF groups. At 24 hours, cell proliferation was significantly higher in the TiZr group than SLActive and TiZr + PEMF group. At 72 hours, TiZr group had higher proliferation rate than machine surface and TiZr + PEMF. Cell proliferation in the machine surface group was lower than both SLActive + PEMF and machine surface + PEMF. MK levels of PEMF-treated groups were lower than untreated groups for 72 hours. CONCLUSIONS Our findings conclude that TiZr surfaces are similar to cpTi surfaces in terms of biocompatibility. However, PEMF application has a higher stimulative effect on cells cultured on cpTi surfaces when compared to TiZr.

Abstract
High-strength ceramics as materials for medical implants have a long, research-intensive history. Yet, especially on applications where the ceramic components are in direct contact with the surrounding tissue, an unresolved issue is its inherent property of biological inertness. To combat this, several strategies have been investigated over the last couple of years. One promising approach investigates the technique of Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAM) and subsequent chemical functionalization to create a biologically active tissue-facing surface layer. Implementation of this would have a beneficial impact on several fields in modern implant medicine such as hip and knee arthroplasty, dental applications and related fields. This review aims to give a summarizing overview of the latest advances in this recently emerging field, along with thorough introductions of the underlying mechanism of SAMs and surface cell attachment mechanics on the cell side.

Abstract
Anodization of titanium and its alloys, under controlled conditions, generates a nanotubular architecture on the material surface. The biological consequences of such changes are poorly understood, and therefore, we have analyzed the cellular and molecular responses of osteoblasts that were plated on nanotubular anodized surface of a titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloy. Upon comparing these results with those obtained on acid etched and polished surfaces of the same alloy, we observed a significant increase in adhesion and proliferation of cells on anodized surfaces as compared to acid etched or polished surface. The expression of genes related to cell adhesion was high only on anodized TiZr, but that of genes related to osteoblast differentiation and osteocalcin protein and extracellular matrix secretion were higher on both anodized and acid etched surfaces. Examination of surface morphology, topography, roughness, surface area and wettability using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle goniometry, showed that higher surface area, hydrophilicity, and nanoscale roughness of nanotubular TiZr surfaces, which were generated specifically by the anodization process, could strongly enhance the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts. We propose that biological properties of known bioactive titanium alloys can be further enhanced by generating nanotubular surfaces using anodization.

Abstract
We report a novel method for high-throughput investigations on cell-material interactions based on metal oxide nanoscaffolds. These scaffolds possess a continuous gradient of various titanium alloys allowing the compositional and morphological variation that could substantially improve the formation of an osseointegrative interface with bone. The model nanoscaffold has been fabricated on commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) substrate with a compositional gradients of tin (Sn), chromium (Cr), and niobium (Nb) deposited using a combinatorial approach followed by annealing to create native oxide surface. As an invitro test system, the human fetal osteoblastic cell line (hFOB 1.19) has been used. Cell-adhesion of hFOB 1.19 cells and the suitability of these alloys have been evaluated for cell-morphology, cell-number, and protein adsorption. Although, cell-morphology was not affected by surface composition, cell-proliferation rates varied significantly with surface metal oxide composition; with the Sn- and Nb-rich regions showing the highest proliferation rate and the Cr-rich regions presenting the lowest. The results suggest that Sn and Nb rich regions on surface seems to promote hFOB 1.19 cell proliferation and may therefore be considered as implant material candidates that deserve further analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of well-designed prospective, randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of immediate and early loading of implants placed in the partially edentulous posterior maxilla or mandible. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate crestal bone level changes over 3 years following immediate or early loading of Straumann implants with a chemically modified surface (SLActive®, Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) placed in the posterior maxilla and mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects received temporary restorations immediately or 28 to 34 days after surgery, with permanent restorations placed at 20 to 23 weeks. Bone level changes were measured by comparison of standardized radiographs taken on the day of implant placement and 5, 12, 24, and 36 months thereafter. RESULTS Two hundred thirty-nine of two hundred sixty-six patients (89.9%) completed the trial. Implant survival rates were 97.4% and 96.7% in the immediate and early loading groups, respectively (p = not significant). Over 36 months, the mean bone level change for immediately loaded implants was 0.88 ± 0.81 mm versus 0.57 ± 0.83 mm for the early-loaded group (p < .001). After adjusting for a slight difference in initial placement depth, the time of loading had no significant influence on bone level change. CONCLUSIONS Changes in crestal bone level occurred mostly during the first 5 months postloading. After this bone remodeling period, crestal bone level was stable up to 36 months. Implants with a chemically modified surface are safe and predictable for immediate and early loading in the posterior maxilla and mandible.

Abstract
The time required for osseointegration with a metal implant having a smooth surface ranges from three to six months. We hypothesized that biomimetic coating surfaces with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/collagen fibers and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) on the implant would enhance the adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, this surface modification of dental and bone implants might enhance the process of osseointegration. In this study, we coated PLGA or PLGA/collagen (50:50 w/w ratio) fiber on Ti disks by modified electrospinning for 5 s to 2 min; after that, we further deposited n-HA on the fibers. PLGA fibers of fiber diameter 0.957 ± 0.357 µm had a contact angle of 9.9 ± 0.3° and PLGA/collagen fibers of fiber diameter 0.378 ± 0.068 µm had a contact angle of 0°. Upon n-HA incorporation, all the fibers had a contact angle of 0° owing to the hydrophilic nature of n-HA biomolecule. The cell attachment efficiency was tested on all the scaffolds for different intervals of time (10, 20, 30 and 60 min). The alkaline phosphatase activity, cell proliferation and mineralization were analyzed on all the implant surfaces on days 7, 14 and 21. Results of the cell adhesion study indicated that the cell adhesion was maximum on the implant surface coated with PLGA/collagen fibers deposited with n-HA compared to the other scaffolds. Within a short span of 60 min, 75% of the cells adhered onto the mineralized PLGA/collagen fibers. Similarly by day 21, the rate of cell proliferation was significantly higher (p ⩽ 0.05) on the mineralized PLGA/collagen fibers owing to enhanced cell adhesion on these fibers. This enhanced initial cell adhesion favored higher cell proliferation, differentiation and mineralization on the implant surface coated with mineralized PLGA/collagen fibers.

Abstract
The in vitro corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of two Zr alloys, Zr-2.5Nb, employed for the manufacture of CANDU reactor pressure tubes, and Zr-1.5Nb-1Ta (at%), for use as implant materials have been assessed and compared with those of Grade 2 Ti, which is known to be a highly compatible metallic biomaterial. The in vitro corrosion resistance was investigated by open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, as a function of exposure time to an artificial physiological environment (Ringer's solution). Open circuit potential values indicated that both the Zr alloys and Grade 2 Ti undergo spontaneous passivation due to spontaneously formed oxide film passivating the metallic surface, in the aggressive environment. It also indicated that the tendency for the formation of a spontaneous oxide is greater for the Zr-1.5Nb-1Ta alloy and that this oxide has better corrosion protection characteristics than the ones formed on Grade 2 Ti or on the Zr-2.5Nb alloy. EIS study showed high impedance values for all samples, increasing with exposure time, indicating an improvement in corrosion resistance of the spontaneous oxide film. The fit obtained suggests a single passive film presents on the metals surface, improving their resistance with exposure time, presenting the highest values to the Zr-1.5Nb-1Ta alloy. For the biocompatibility analysis human osteosarcoma cell line (Saos-2) and human primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) were used. Biocompatibility tests showed that Saos-2 cells grow rapidly, independently of the surface, due to reduced dependency from matrix deposition and microenvironment recognition. BMSC instead display a reduced proliferation, possibly caused by a reduced crosstalk with the metal surface microenvironment. However, once the substrate has been colonized, BMSC seem to respond properly to osteoinduction stimuli, thus supporting a substantial equivalence in the biocompatibility among the Zr alloys and Grade 2 titanium. In summary, high in vitro corrosion resistance together with satisfactory biocompatibility make the Zr-2.5Nb and Zr-1.5Nb-1Ta crystalline alloys promising biomaterials for surgical implants.

Abstract
The success of an implant used for bone regeneration and repair is determined by the events that take place at the cell-material interface. An understanding of these interactions in vitro gives insights into the formulation of ideal conditions for their effective functioning in vivo. Thus, it is not only important to understand the physico-chemical properties of the materials but, also necessary to assess the cellular responses to them to determine their long-term stability and efficacy as implants. In the present study, we have compared the physico-chemical and biological properties of titanium (Ti) and two Ti-based alloys, namely: Ti- Zirconium (TiZr) and Ti-Niobium (TiNb). The morphology, chemical analysis, surface roughness, and contact angle measurements of the alloys were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), profilometer, and contact angle goniometer, respectively whereas the biological properties of the materials were evaluated by measuring the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells on the surfaces of these alloys. Our results indicate that the biological properties of osteoblasts were better on TiZr surface than on TiNb surface. Furthermore, the surface energy and substrate composition influenced the superior biological activity of the TiZr alloy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Modifications of surface topography and surface chemistry are key factors for guiding target cells during dental implant healing. Recent in vitro studies confirmed promotion of early osteogenic cell differentiation on submicron scaled surfaces in particular when hydrophilized. However, no long-term observations on both osteogenic cell proliferation as well as on cell maturation have been reported for respectively modified surfaces. Aim of this study was to monitor osteogenic cell proliferation and expression of specific osteogenic cell differentiation markers on a protein level over an extended period of 3 weeks with respect to surface modifications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Modified titanium (Ti) disks were obtained from Institute Straumann, representing the following surfaces: smooth pretreatment (PT), sandblasted/acid etched (SLA), and hydrophilized (modSLA). Surface topography was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, surface elemental composition was assessed by X-Ray Photoelectronic Spectroscopy (XPS). Tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) served as a control substrate. Human osteogenic cells (HOB-c) were cultivated on the respective substrates. After 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs, 7 d, 14 d and 21 d, cell count was assessed as well as osteogenic cell differentiation utilizing cellular Quantitative Immuno-Cytochemistry (QIC) assay for collagen type I (COL), alkaline phosphatase (AP), osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OC). Data were normalized with respect to internal controls. RESULTS In contrast to the other modified Ti disks, modSLA stands out due to low surface carbon contamination. TCPS and PT surfaces preserved a rather immature, mitotic active osteogenic phenotype (high proliferation rates, no increase of OC production), SLA and especially modSLA surfaces promoted the maturation of osteogenic precursors into post-mitotic osteoblasts. In detail, modSLA resulted in lowest cell proliferation rates, but exhibited highest expression rates of OC. DISCUSSION Our results, which confirm previous studies, reveal long-term promotion of osteogenic cell maturation by topography (micron and submicron scale roughness) and surface hydrophilicity.

Abstract
Our objective in this work was to determine statistically the relative influence of surface topography and surface chemistry of metallic substrates on long-term adhesion of human bone cell quantified by the adhesion power (AP). Pure titanium, titanium alloy, and stainless steel substrates were processed with electro-erosion, sandblasting, or polishing giving various morphologies and amplitudes. The surface chemistry was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) associated with an extensive analysis of surface topography. The statistical analysis demonstrated that the effect on AP of the material composition was not significant. More, no correlation was found between AP and the surface element concentrations determined by XPS demonstrating that the surface chemistry was not an influencing parameter for long-term adhesion. In the same way, the roughness amplitude, independently of the process, had no influence on AP, meaning that roughness amplitude is not an intrinsic parameter of long-term adhesion. On the contrary, the elaboration process alone had a significant effect on AP. For a same surface elaboration process, the number of inflexion points, or G parameter, was the most pertinent roughness parameter for describing the topography influence on long-term adhesion. Thus, more the inflexion points, more the discontinuities, higher the long-term adhesion.

Abstract
A chemically-etched titanium surface was modified by electrospinning a sol-gel-derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) that was subjected to calcination within the temperature range of 200-1400 degrees C in the normative atmospheric condition. After heat treatment, crystal structures of the filmed titanium oxide and HAp on the titanium's surface were identified using wide-angle X-ray diffraction. A highly porous layer of HAp was found to have formed on the oxidized titanium surfaces. The surfaces of three different samples; (1) electrospun HAp, (2) HAp calcined at 600 degrees C, and (3) HAp calcined at 800 degrees C, were investigated for their ability to foster promotion, proliferation, and differentiation of human osteoblasts (HOB) (in the 9th passage) in vitro up to 6 days. Among the three samples, cells cultured on the HAp calcined at 800 degrees C titanium surfaces displayed the best results with regard to adhesion, growth, and proliferation of HOB. This novel method for fabrication of titanium substrates would provide a promising improvement for titanium-based medical devices over the current standards, which lack such substrates. These titanium substrates explicitly provide enhanced HOB proliferation in terms of both desired surface properties and their produced bulk quantity.

Abstract
The host response to titanium and its alloys is not always favorable, as a fibrous layer may form at the skeletal tissue-device interface, causing aseptic loosening. Therefore, a great deal of current orthopedic research is focused on developing implants with improved osseointegration properties in order to increase their clinical success. Promising new studies have been reported regarding coating the currently available implants with various coating materials and techniques so as to improve the long-term stability of implants. This article will discuss various coating materials developed, their advantages and disadvantages as coating materials and their biological performance.

Abstract
In this study we have combined fluorescence- and reflection-confocal laser scanning microscopy for the simultaneous visualization of living cells and surface topography beneath them. To this purpose we have designed a specific flow chamber and we have tested it with osteoblasts grown on an opaque, thick support, made of smooth or sandblasted titanium. Cells were loaded with Calcein-AM or tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM), two probes employed as indicators of cell viability/morphology and mitochondrial membrane potential, respectively. Besides the acquisition of stacks of confocal sections, the system allowed also vertical views and faithful three-dimensional reconstruction of the samples. Confocal microscope implemented with our flow chamber proved to be a promising tool for time-lapse investigation of cell-biomaterial interactions.

Abstract
In vitro studies about the growth behavior of osteoblasts onto biomaterials is a basic knowledge and a screening method for the development and application of scaffolds in vivo. In this in vitro study human osteoblast-like (HOB) cells were cultured on seven different biomaterials used in dental and craniomaxillofacial surgery, respectively. The tested biomaterials were synthetic biodegradable (MacroPore, Ethisorb, PDS, Beriplast P) and nonbiodegradable polymers (Palacos) as well as calcium phosphate cement (BoneSource) and titanium. The cell proliferation and cell colonization were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and EZ4U-test. Statistical analysis were performed. HOB-like cells cultivated on Ethisorb showed the highest proliferation rate. The proliferation rate was statistically significant compared with Palacos, MacroPore, and BoneSource. Whereas, Beriplast, PDS, and titanium yielded lower proliferation rates. However, there was no statistically significant difference compared with Palacos, MacroPore, and BoneSource. SEM analysis showed no significant difference in individual cell features and cell colonization. But an infiltration and a growth of HOB-like cells throughout the porous structure of Ethisorb, which is formed by crossing fibers, is a striking different feature (macrotopography). This feature can explain the highest proliferation rate of Ethisorb. The results showed that HOB-like cells appear to be sensitive to substrate composition and topography. Moreover, the basis for further studies with such biomaterial/osteoblast constructs in vivo are provided. Further focusing points are developing techniques to fabricate three-dimensional porous biomaterial/cell constructs, studying the tissue reaction and the bone regeneration of such constructs compared with the use of autologous bone.

Abstract
This review concerns the importance of length and time on physicochemical interactions between living tissue and biomaterials that occur on implantation. The review provides information on material host interactions, materials for medical applications and cell surface interactions, and then details the extent of knowledge concerning the role(s) that surface chemistry and topography play during the first stage of implant integration, namely protein adsorption. The key points are illustrated by data from model in vitro studies. Host implant interactions begin nanoseconds after first contact and from then on are in a state of flux due to protein adsorption, cell adhesion and physical and chemical alteration of the implanted material. The many questions concerning the conformational form and control of bound proteins and how this may impact on cell adhesion in the first instance and later on cell signalling and implant integration can be answered by systematic investigations using model materials. Only then we will be in a more informed position to design new materials for use in the body.

Abstract
The modification of titanium (Ti) surfaces by ion-implantation has previously been reported to enhance osseointegration in vivo. However, the mechanisms underlying the apparently improved biocompatibility of these novel implant materials are unknown. The aim of this study is, therefore, to determine the precise effects of calcium ion-implanted Ti on the functional activity of bone cells in vitro. Flow cytometry (FCM) and the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to measure the response of bone-derived cells to key bone-associated components, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone morphogenetic protein receptor-1B (BMPR-1B), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteonectin (ON), and osteopontin (OPN). FCM analysis showed that BMPR-1B, BSP and particularly OPN were significantly up-regulated in MG-63 cells cultured on Ca-implanted Ti compared with control nonimplanted Ti. Moreover, the effects of this novel Ca-Ti surface were found to be mediated, at least partly, via gene activation, since RT-PCR demonstrated the presence of notably elevated levels of OPN mRNA transcripts in the MG-63 cells. These findings thus show that Ti surfaces implanted with Ca ions can enhance the expression of certain bone-associated components in vitro, and suggest that this effect could be the cause of the potential benefit of this material on bone in vivo.

Abstract
A novel metallic Ti-6Al-4V foam in development at the National Research Council of Canada was investigated for its ability to foster cell attachment and growth using a fibroblast cell culture model. The foam was manufactured via a powder metallurgical process that could produce interconnected porosity greater than 70%. Cell attachment was assessed after 6 and 24 h, while proliferation was examined after 3 and 7 days. Ingrown fibroblasts displayed a number of different morphologies; some fibroblasts were spread thinly in close apposition with the irregular surface, or more often had several anchorage points and extended in three dimensions as they spanned pore space. It was also demonstrated that fibroblasts were actively migrating through the porous scaffold over a 14-day period. In a 60-day extended culture, fibroblasts were bridging and filling macropores and had extensively infiltrated the foams. Overall, it was established that this foam was supportive of cell attachment and proliferation, migration through the porous network, and that it was capable of sustaining a large cell population.

Abstract
With the growing interest in clinical interventions that involve medical devices, the role for new biomaterials in modern medicine is currently expanding at a phenomenal rate. Failure of most implant materials stems from an inability to predict and control biological phenomena, such as protein adsorption and cell interaction, resulting in an inappropriate host response to the materials. Contemporary advances in biological investigation are starting to shift focus in the biomaterials field, in particular with the advent of high-throughput methodologies for gene and protein expression profiling. Here, we examine the role that emerging transcriptomic and proteomic technologies could play in relation to biomaterial development and usage. Moreover, a number of studies are highlighted which have utilized such approaches in order to try to create a deeper understanding of cell-biomaterial interactions and, hence, improve our ability to predict and control the biocompatibility of new materials.

The use of calcium ion (Ca) implantation of titanium (Ti), previously reported to encourage osseointegration in vivo, has been investigated using an in vitro model in order to understand the basic mechanisms involved in the response of target cells to such surfaces. Polished Ti discs were implanted with high, medium and low (1x10(17), 1x10(16), 1x10(15)ionscm-2) doses of Ca ions at 40 keV. The effects of different levels of Ca implantation on morphology, attachment and spreading of MG-63 cells seeded on the surface of control (non-implanted) Ti and Ca-Ti discs were assessed. Further, to understand cell-material interactions at a molecular level, the expression of beta1 and alpha5beta1 integrins and the formation of vinculin-positive focal adhesion plaques were examined. In addition, the effects of pre-immersion of the Ca (high)-Ti in tissue culture medium on cell attachment were measured and correlated with specific chemical changes at the Ti surface. Our findings suggest that Ca implantation can affect the adhesion of MG-63 cells both qualitatively and quantitatively. However, this effect appears to depend on the level at which Ca ions are implanted. Results showed that although cell adhesion on Ca (high)-Ti was initially reduced, it nevertheless was not only restored but substantially increased with progressing culture times. In addition, a significantly enhanced cell spreading, formation of focal adhesion plaques and expression of integrins were measured on this particular surface. In contrast, no marked differences were observed in cell behaviour on Ca-Ti (low and medium). Pre-immersion studies indicated that the decrease in cell attachment to Ca (high)-Ti at early time periods may be linked to the presence of Ca- and P-rich particles on the surface. The absence of these particles at 24 h was consistent with a significant increase in cell attachment.

Abstract
Tantalum (Ta) is increasingly used in orthopaedics, although there is a paucity of information on the interaction of human osteoblasts with this material. We investigated the ability of Ta to support the growth and function of normal human osteoblast-like cells (NHBC). Cell responses to polished and textured Ta discs were compared with responses to other common orthopaedic metals, titanium and cobalt-chromium alloy, and tissue culture plastic. No consistent differences, that could be attributed to the different metal substrates or to the surface texture, were found in several measured parameters. Attachment of NHBC to each substrate was similar, as was cell morphology, as determined by confocal microscopy. Cell proliferation was slightly faster on plastic than on Ta at 3 days, but by 7 days neither the absolute cell numbers, nor the number of cell divisions, was different between Ta and the other substrates. No consistent, substrate-dependent differences were seen in the expression of a number of mRNA species corresponding to the pro-osteoclastic or the osteogenic activity of osteoblasts. No substrate-dependent differences were seen in the extent of in vitro mineralisation by NHBC. These results indicate that Ta is a good substrate for the attachment, growth and differentiated function of human osteoblasts.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate coated titanium and titanium alloy are widely used as dental and orthopaedic implants. This study examines the effect of novel calcium titanium and calcium titanium zirconium phosphates suitable for plasma-spraying onto titanium substrata on the expression of bone-related genes and proteins by human bone-derived cells (HBDC) and compares this behavior to that on native titanium and hydroxyapatite-coated titanium. Test materials were an acid etched and sand-blasted titanium surface (Ti-DPS), a plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coating (HA), and five materials which were created from CaTi(4)(PO(4))(6) (CTP) and CaZr(4)(PO(4))(6) (CZP): sintered CaTi(4)(PO(4))(6) (CTP-S1), sintered 46CaO.23TiO(2).31P(2)O(5) (CTP-S2), sintered CaTiZr(3)(PO(4))(6), (CTZP-S1), sintered 46CaO.23ZrO(2).31P(2)O(5) (CTZP-S2) and sintered 55CaO.20TiO(2).31P(2)O(5) (CTP-S3). HBDC were grown on the substrata for 3, 7, 14 and 21 d, counted and probed for various mRNAs and proteins (type I collagen, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteonectin, alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein). All substrates significantly affected cellular growth and the temporal expression of an array of bone-related genes and proteins. At 14 and 21 d, cells on CTP-S3 displayed significantly enhanced expression of all osteogenic mRNAs. Surfaces of CTP-S1 and CTP-S3 had the most effect on osteoblastic differentiation inducing a greater expression of an array of osteogenic markers than recorded for cells grown on Ti-DPS and HA, suggesting that these novel materials may possess a higher potency to enhance osteogenesis.

Abstract
Using biodegradable bone substitutes in alveolar ridge augmentation avoids second-site surgery for autograft harvesting. Considerable efforts have been undertaken to develop rapidly resorbable bone substitute materials with a higher degree of biodegradability than tricalcium phosphate (TCP). This study examines the effect of novel biodegradable glass ceramics on the expression of bone-related genes and proteins by human bone-derived cells (HBDC) and compares this behavior with that of TCP. Test materials used were alpha-TCP, a surface-treated glass ceramic GB9N with crystalline phase Ca(2)KNa(PO(4))(2) and a small amount of amorphous silica phosphate; AP40 - a glass ceramic based on crystalline phases of apatite and wollastonite; and a glass ceramic Mg5 composed of 20.6% CaO, 58.5% P(2)O(5), 14.4% Na(2)O, 4.1% MgO and 2.4% CaF(2) (wt%). HBDC were grown on the substrata for 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days, counted and probed for various bone-related mRNAs and proteins (type I collagen (Col I), osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin (OP), osteonectin (ON), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP)). The substrata supported continuous cellular growth for 21 days. By day 21, GB9N had the highest number of HBDC. GB9N induced significantly enhanced expression of Col I, ALP, OP, OC and ON mRNA at 3 days; of OP, OC and ON mRNA and protein at 7 and 14 days; and of ALP, OP and OC mRNA and Col I, ALP, BSP, ON and OP protein at 21 days. Since all novel glass ceramics supported cellular proliferation together with expression of bone-related genes and proteins at least as much as TCP, these ceramics can be regarded as potential bone substitutes. GB9N had the most effect on osteoblastic differentiation, thus suggesting that this material may possess a higher potency to enhance osteogenesis than TCP.

HBDC were grown on the substrata for 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days, counted and probed for various mRNAs and proteins (Type I collagen, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteonectin, alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein). All substrata supported continuous cellular growth for 21 days. At day 21, surfaces of R1+SiO(2) and R17 had the highest number of HBDC.

Abstract
The titanium surfaces containing calcium, phosphate ions and the carbonate apatite were characterized. The effect of surface chemistry on the initial rabbit osteoblast response on these surfaces was investigated. The cell count and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) specific activity assay were used for biochemical analyses. Scanning electron microscopy was used for morphology observation and in particular X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for surface chemistry characterization. The number of cells adhering to the apatite coating surface was the maximum, the number of cells on the surface containing calcium without phosphate ions was higher than that containing phosphate without calcium, and the number on the unmodified titanium surface was the least. The osteoblasts cultured on the apatite surface exhibited the highest ALP specific activity, next were the ones on the surface containing solely calcium, the lowest were on the unmodified titanium surface. On the substrate surfaces removed of adhered cells, the order of nitrogen amounts detected by XPS was consistent with ones of ALP specific activity and cell number, except for the unmodified titanium surface. For the substrate surfaces removed of adhered osteoblasts, XPS analysis showed that calcium and phosphorous amounts decreased during cell adhesion. After cell culture the Ca2p binding energy (BE) values for apatite coating and the surface containing solely calcium were similar to those of the two surfaces adsorbed bovine serum albumin (BSA). The P2p BE values for the surfaces containing phosphate ions, including the apatite coating and the surface containing solely phosphate ions, showed the same change. But after cell culture the decrease of the P2p BE value for the coating surface was larger than the one for the surface containing solely phosphate ions. Considering the bovine serum albumin adsorption on the same samples, these results indicated that calcium ions on titanium surfaces play a more important role than phosphate ions in initial interactions among culture medium, osteoblasts and titanium surfaces. On the apatite coating surface, calcium ions are active sites for osteoblast adhesion, while calcium and phosphate ions co-exist on titanium surfaces, the former promotes the osteoblast adhesion onto the phosphate sites on titanium surfaces. The cell adhesion was a complicated biological and chemical process relating to surface several elements similar to protein adsorption.

Abstract
The microstructure, chemical composition and wettability of thermally and chemically modified Ti-6Al-4V alloy disks were characterized and correlated with the degree of radiolabeled fibronectin-alloy surface adsorption and subsequent adhesion of osteoblast-like cells. Heating either in pure oxygen or atmosphere (atm) resulted in an enrichment of Al and V within the surface oxide. Heating (oxygen/atm) and peroxide treatment both followed by butanol treatment resulted in a reduction in content of V, but not in Al. Heating (oxygen/atm) or peroxide treatment resulted in a thicker oxide layer and a more hydrophilic surface when compared with passivated controls. Post-treatment with butanol, however, resulted in less hydrophilic surfaces than heating or peroxide treatment alone. The greatest increases in the adsorption of radiolabeled fibronectin following treatment were observed with peroxide/butanol-treated samples followed by peroxide/butanol and heat/butanol, although binding was only increased by 20-40% compared to untreated controls. These experiments with radiolabeled fibronectin indicate that enhanced adsorption of the glycoprotein was more highly correlated with changes in chemical composition, reflected in a reduction in V content and decrease in the V/Al ratio, than with changes in wettability. Despite promoting only a modest elevation in fibronectin adsorption, the treatment of disks with heat or heat/butanol induced a several-fold increase in the attachment of MG63 cells promoted by a nonadhesive concentration of fibronectin that was used to coat the pretreated disks compared to uncoated disks. Therefore, results obtained with these modifications of surface properties indicate that an increase in the absolute content of Al and/or V (heat), and/or in the Al/V ratio (with little change in hydrophilicity; heat+butanol) is correlated with an increase in the fibronectin-promoted adhesion of an osteoblast-like cell line. It would also appear that the thermal treatment-induced enhancement of cell adhesion in the presence of this integrin-binding protein is due to its increased biological activity, rather than a mass effect alone, that appear to be associated with changes in chemical composition of the metallic surface. Future studies will investigate the influence of the surface chemical composition of various implantable alloys on protein adsorption and receptor-mediated cell adhesion. In addition, by altering the properties of bound osteogenic protein enhancing exposure to cell integrin binding domains, it may be possible to develop implant surfaces which enhance the attachment, adhesion and developmental response of osteoblast precursors leading to accelerated osseointegration.

Abstract
Human osteoblast-like cells SaOS-2 (ATCC HTB85) were seeded onto three kinds of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics sintered at different temperature (1200 degrees C, 1000 degrees C and 800 degrees C). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted to detect the surface microstructure. Cells were cultured on these substrates for 6 and 12 days and cell proliferation rate and mRNA expression for osteocalcin, osteonectin, type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase and protein production for osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein and osteonectin were detected with quantitative in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry techniques. SEM revealed that crystal particle size was affected by sintering temperature. Result showed that cell proliferation rate on HA ceramics sintered at 1200 degrees C was the highest. Osteonectin and type I collagen mRNA expression was not altered by sintering temperature. After 12 days in culture, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and osteonectin proteins levels were significantly (p<0.05) higher when SaOS-2 cells were cultured on HA sintered at 1200 degrees C, compared to the other two surfaces, suggesting that HA sintered at high temperature may be a better candidate for in vivo implantation. This result provides valuable information concerning the clinic application of HA ceramics sintered at different temperature.

Abstract
Advances in the field of bone tissue engineering have encouraged physicians to introduce these techniques into clinical practice. Bone tissue engineering is the construction, repair or replacement of damaged or missing bone in humans or animals. Engineering of bone can take place within the animal body or extracorporal in a bioreactor for later grafting into the body. Appropriate cell types and non-living substrata are minimal requirements for an extracorporal tissue engineering approach. This review discusses the biological and biophysical background of in vitro bone tissue engineering. Biochemical and biophysical stimuli of cell growth and differentiation are regarded as potent tools to improve bone formation in vitro. The paper focuses on basic principles in extracorporal engineering of bone-like tissues, intended to be implanted in animal experiments and clinical studies. Particular attention is given in this part to the contributions of cell and material science to the development of bone-like tissues. Several approaches are at the level of clinical applicability and it can be expected that widespread use of engineered bone constructs will change the surgeon's work in the near future.

Abstract
The effects of mechanical strains on cellular activities were assessed in an in vitro model using human osteoblastic MG-63 cells grown on titanium alloy discs coated with porous alumina and exposed to chronic intermittent loading. Strain was applied with a Dynacell device for three 15-min sequences per day for several days with a magnitude of 600 microepsilon strain and a frequency of 0.25 Hz. We have previously demonstrated that this regimen increased alkaline phosphatase activity in confluent cultures on ceramic coated titanium (alumina and hydroxyapatite) (Biomaterials 24 (2003) 3139). In this study, we analysed the production of bone matrix proteins. Osteocalcin secretion quantified by ELISA between day 5 and 11 was not affected by mechanical strain. Strain had even no quantifiable effect on collagen production from day 1 to 5 as measured by carboxy terminal collagen type I propeptide release. On the other hand, stress stimulation resulted in increased expression of fibronectin (FN) measured by Western blot after 1 day stretching. This upregulation of FN production was followed by reorganisation of the FN network after 5 days stretching observed by immunostaining. The receptors for collagen and FN, alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1 and beta1 integrins were not quantitatively affected by the strains as measured by flow cytometry. A modification of cell morphology was seen after 5 days of loading that appeared to increase cell spreading, implying consequences on intercellular contacts. For this reason, N, C11 and E-adherins were examined. We noted a selective effect characterised by increased expression of N-cadherin using both RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. We concluded that reinforcement of cell-cell adhesion and remodelling of the FN network are important adaptive responses to physiological strains for human osteoblasts grown on alumina-coated biomaterials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Six titanium disks with six different surface treatments were examined: SS: smooth (polished) surface; TPS: plasma spray; C100: sand blasting by aluminum oxide (Al2O3) diameter 100 microm and acid etching; C150: sand blasting by Al2O3 diameter 150 microm and acid etching; B60: sand blasting by zirconium oxide (ZrO2) diameter 60 microm and acid etching; and B120: sand blasting by ZrO2 diameter 120 microm and acid etching. METHODS The surface characteristics were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and a roughness tester. Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the presence of residual substances on the samples. Cells were seeded onto the disk and after 24 hours, 6 days, and 12 days were observed under SEM and growth curves generated with a cell counter. Some samples were used to determine alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), using a colorimetric assay. RESULTS SEM observation revealed drastic differences in surface microtopography, with a higher cell density on sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA) samples than SS and TPS, and more regularly aligned cells on B60 and B120 surfaces than on the others. The growth curves showed a greater adhesion of cells on the etched/blasted surfaces compared to the SS and TPS surfaces. The number of cells increased on all the SLA samples, especially B60, throughout the experiment. At the same time, there was considerable ALP activity on the B60 sample, while it remained at extremely low levels on SS and TPS surfaces. Raman analyses revealed Al2O3 debris on C100 and C150, partly explaining the poorer performances of these two surface treatments, since this substance was shown to be toxic for cultured osteoblasts. CONCLUSIONS Surface treatments influence the growth and the metabolic activity of cultured osteoblasts, and B60 seems to be the most favorable surface inducing a more pronounced proliferation of cells together with a high differentiation degree.

Abstract
The use of biodegradable bone substitutes is advantageous for alveolar ridge augmentation because it avoids second-site surgery for autograft harvesting. This study examines the effect of novel, rapidly resorbable calcium phosphates and a calcium phosphate bone cement on the expression of bone-related genes and proteins by human bone-derived cells (HBDCs) and compares this behavior to that of tricalciumphosphate (TCP). Test materials were alpha-TCP, two materials with a crystalline phase Ca(2)KNa(PO(4))(2) and with a small amorphous portion containing either magnesium potassium phosphate (material denominated GB14) or silica phosphate (material denominated GB9), and a calcium phosphate bone cement (material denominated Biocement D). HBDCs were grown on the substrata for 3, 7, 14, and 21 days, counted, and probed for various mRNAs and proteins (type I collagen, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteonectin, alkaline phosphatase, and bone sialoprotein). All substrates supported continuous cellular growth for 21 days. In the presence of GB14 and Biocement D specimens cell proliferation was reduced and cell differentiation increased. At day 21, the greatest number of cells was found on GB9 expressing significantly higher levels of bone-related proteins than cells grown on all other surfaces. Because all novel materials facilitated the expression of the osteoblastic phenotype at least as much as TCP and the polystyrene control, these biomaterials can be regarded as excellent candidate bone substitute materials. GB9 induced the highest proliferation and cellular differentiation after 21 days of incubation, suggesting that this material may possess a higher potency for enhancing osteogenesis than TCP.

Abstract
Roughened titanium (Ti) surfaces have been widely used for dental implants. In recent years, there has been the tendency to replace Ti plasma-sprayed surfaces by sandblasted and acid-etched surfaces in order to enhance osseous apposition. Another approach has been the utilization of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants. This study examines the effect of two roughened Ti dental implant surfaces on the osteoblastic phenotype of human bone-derived cells (HBDC) and compares this behavior to that for cells on an HA-coated surface. Test materials were an acid-etched and sandblasted Ti surface (Ti-DPS), a porous Ti plasma-sprayed coating (Ti-TPS), and a plasma-sprayed porous HA coating (HA). Smooth Ti machined surfaces served as control (Ti-ma). HBDC were grown on the substrata for 3, 7, 14, and 21 days, counted and probed for various bone-related mRNAs and proteins (type I collagen, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteonectin, alkaline phosphatase, and bone sialoprotein). All dental implant surfaces significantly affected cellular growth and the temporal expression of an array of bone-related genes and proteins. HA-coated Ti had the most effect on osteoblastic differentiation inducing a greater expression of an array of osteogenic markers than recorded for cells grown on Ti-DPS and Ti-TPS, thus suggesting that the HA-coated surface may possess a higher potency to enhance osteogenesis. Furthermore, Ti-DPS surfaces induced greater osteoblast proliferation and differentiation than Ti-TPS.

Abstract
Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of poly(acrylamide-co-ethylene glycol/acrylic acid) (p(AAm-co-EG/AAc) applied to model surfaces prevent protein adsorption and cell adhesion. Subsequently, IPN surfaces functionalized with the RGD cell-binding domain from rat bone sialoprotein (BSP) modulated bone cell adhesion, proliferation, and matrix mineralization. The objective of this study was to utilize the same biomimetic modification strategy to produce functionally similar p(AAm-co-EG/AAc) IPNs on clinically relevant titanium surfaces. Contact angle goniometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data were consistent with the presence of the intended surface modifications. Cellular response was gauged by challenging the surfaces with primary rat calvarial osteoblast (RCO) surfaces in serum-containing media. IPN modified titanium and negative control (RGE-IPN) surfaces inhibit cell adhesion and proliferation, while RGD-modified IPNs on titanium supported osteoblast attachment and spreading. Furthermore, the latter surfaces supported significant mineralization despite exhibiting lower levels of proliferation than positive control surfaces. These results suggest that with the appropriate optimization, this approach may be practical for surface engineering of osseous implants.

Abstract
In this study, rat bone marrow cells (RBM) were used to evaluate different titanium and hydroxyapatite dental implant surfaces. The implant surfaces investigated were: a titanium surface having a porous titanium plasma-sprayed coating (sample code Ti-TPS), a titanium surface with a deep profile structure (sample code Ti-DPS), an uncoated titanium substrate with a machined surface (sample code Ti-ma) and a machined titanium substrate with a porous hydroxyapatite plasma-sprayed coating (sample code Ti-HA). RBM cells were cultured on the disc-shaped test substrates for 14 days. The culture medium was changed daily and examined for calcium and phosphate concentrations. After 14 days specimens were examined by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and morphometry of the cell-covered substrate surface. All test substrates facilitated RBM growth of extracellular matrix formation. Ti-DPS and Ti-TPS to the highest degree, followed by Ti-ma and Ti-HA. Ti-DPS and Ti-TPS displayed the highest cell density and thus seem to be well suited for the endosseous portion of dental implants. RBM cells cultured on Ti-HA showed a delayed growth pattern. This may be related to its high phosphate ion release.

Abstract
To characterize the temporal expression of genes that play a functional role during the process of osteoblast adhesion, we used differential display (DD-PCR) on mRNA isolated from attached vs. suspended osteoblasts. A 200-bp fragment displaying upregulated expression after 30 and 60 min adhesion was isolated, sequenced, and showed 97% homology to prtb, previously showed to be expressed in mouse brain. Northern analysis confirmed a two-fold increase in prtb message during adhesion to tissue culture polystyrene, both in the presence or absence of surface-adsorbed serum proteins. Serum stimulation alone was also able to induce prtb expression, although to a lesser extent, in suspension cells. Strong prtb expression was also detected in both brain and bone of adult rats. Furthermore, prtb expression analysis during MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation revealed high expression levels independent of proliferation (day 0-7), matrix maturation (day 7-14), and mineralization (day 14-31). Time course analysis of prtb expression during adhesion of sensitized osteoblasts to serum-protein coated surfaces showed robust mRNA expression at 5 min post-plating and a peak at 10 min. The two known serum-inducible immediate early genes c-fos and c-jun showed similar expression kinetics, with c-jun mRNA levels peaking at 15 min and c-fos at 20 min. Based on these data, we hypothesize that prtb may function as an immediate early, serum-responsive, and adhesion-inducible gene with possible involvement in processes such as cell cycle control, adhesion, and proliferation.

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.
