Salamanca E, Wu YF, Aung LM, Chiu BR, Chen MK, Chang WJ, Sun YS. Allylamine coating on zirconia dental implant surface promotes osteogenic differentiation in vitro and accelerates osseointegration in vivo. Clin Oral Implants Res 2024. [PMID: 38804531 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The glow discharge plasma (GDP) procedure has proven efficacy in grafting allylamine onto zirconia dental implant surfaces to enhance osseointegration. This study explored the enhancement of zirconia dental implant properties using GDP at different energy settings (25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 W) both in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro analyses included scanning electron microscopy, wettability assessment, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and more. In vivo experiments involved implanting zirconia dental implants into rabbit femurs and later evaluation through impact stability test, micro-CT, and histomorphometric measurements. RESULTS The results demonstrated that 25 and 50 W GDP allylamine grafting positively impacted MG-63 cell proliferation and increased alkaline phosphatase activity. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of OCN, OPG, and COL-I. Both 25 and 50 W GDP allylamine grafting significantly improved zirconia's surface properties (p < .05, p < .01, p < .001). However, only 25 W allylamine grafting with optimal energy settings promoted in vivo osseointegration and new bone formation while preventing bone level loss around the dental implant (p < .05, p < .01, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS This study presents a promising method for enhancing Zr dental implant surface's bioactivity.

Response of Osteoblasts on Amine-Based Nanocoatings Correlates with the Amino Group Density. Molecules 2023; 28:6505. [PMID: 37764281 PMCID: PMC10534789 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Increased life expectancy in industrialized countries is causing an increased incidence of osteoporosis and the need for bioactive bone implants. The integration of implants can be improved physically, but mainly by chemical modifications of the material surface. It was recognized that amino-group-containing coatings improved cell attachment and intracellular signaling. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the amino group density in this positive cell behavior by developing controlled amino-rich nanolayers. This work used covalent grafting of polymer-based nanocoatings with different amino group densities. Titanium coated with the positively-charged trimethoxysilylpropyl modified poly(ethyleneimine) (Ti-TMS-PEI), which mostly improved cell area after 30 min, possessed the highest amino group density with an N/C of 32%. Interestingly, changes in adhesion-related genes on Ti-TMS-PEI could be seen after 4 h. The mRNA microarray data showed a premature transition of the MG-63 cells into the beginning differentiation phase after 24 h indicating Ti-TMS-PEI as a supportive factor for osseointegration. This amino-rich nanolayer also induced higher bovine serum albumin protein adsorption and caused the cells to migrate slower on the surface after a more extended period of cell settlement as an indication of a better surface anchorage. In conclusion, the cell spreading on amine-based nanocoatings correlated well with the amino group density (N/C).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare titanium surfaces: machined (MA); sintered ceramic-blasted (HAS); sintered ceramic-blasted and acid-etched (HAS DE) and to determine the effects of surface topography, roughness and chemical composition on human osteoblast cell reaction. Titanium surface samples were analyzed with respect to surface chemical composition, topography, and roughness. The effects of material surface characteristics on osteoblasts was examined by analyzing osteoblast morphology, viability and differentiation. Osteoblasts cultured on these materials had attached, spread and proliferated on every sample. The viability of osteoblasts cultured on HAS and HAS DE samples increased more intensively in time comparing to MA sample. The viability of osteoblast cultured on HAS samples increased more intensively in the early phases of culture while for cells cultured on HAS DE the cells viability increased later in time. Alkaline phosphate activity was the highest for the cells cultured on HAS sample and statistically higher than for the MA sample. The least activity occurred on the smooth MA sample along with the rougher HAS DE samples. All the examined samples were found to be biocompatible, as indicated by cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. Titanium surfaces modification improved the dynamics of osteoblast viability increase. Osteoblast differentiation was found to be affected by the etching procedure and presence of Ca and P on the surface.

The Anchorage of Bone Cells onto an Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Surface with Mild Nano-Micro Curved Profiles. Dent J (Basel) 2020; 8:dj8040127.

Abstract
The high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and perfect esthetics of ceramic dental materials motivate investigation into their suitability as an endosseous implant. Osseointegration at the interface between bone and implant surface, which is a criterion for dental implant success, is dependent on surface chemistry and topography. We found out earlier that osteoblasts on sharp-edged micro-topographies revealed an impaired cell phenotype and function and the cells attempted to phagocytize these spiky elevations in vitro. Therefore, micro-structured implants used in dental surgery should avoid any spiky topography on their surface. The sandblasted, acid-etched, and heat-treated yttria-stabilized zirconia (cer.face®14) surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. In vitro studies with human MG-63 osteoblasts focused on cell attachment and intracellular stress level. The cer.face 14 surface featured a landscape with nano-micro hills that was most sinusoidal-shaped. The mildly curved profile proved to be a suitable material for cell anchorage. MG-63 cells on cer.face 14 showed a very low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation similar to that on the extracellular matrix protein collagen I (Col). Intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were comparable to Col. Ceramic cer.face 14, with its sinusoidal-shaped surface structure, facilitates cell anchorage and prevents cell stress.

Abstract
Electrostatic forces at the cell interface affect the nature of cell adhesion and function; but there is still limited knowledge about the impact of positive or negative surface charges on cell-material interactions in regenerative medicine. Titanium surfaces with a variety of zeta potentials between −90 mV and +50 mV were generated by functionalizing them with amino polymers, extracellular matrix proteins/peptide motifs and polyelectrolyte multilayers. A significant enhancement of intracellular calcium mobilization was achieved on surfaces with a moderately positive (+1 to +10 mV) compared with a negative zeta potential (−90 to −3 mV). Dramatic losses of cell activity (membrane integrity, viability, proliferation, calcium mobilization) were observed on surfaces with a highly positive zeta potential (+50 mV). This systematic study indicates that cells do not prefer positive charges in general, merely moderately positive ones. The cell behavior of MG-63s could be correlated with the materials’ zeta potential; but not with water contact angle or surface free energy. Our findings present new insights and provide an essential knowledge for future applications in dental and orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
Plasma-polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) coatings of titanium enhance the cell behavior of osteoblasts. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a PPAAm nanolayer on zirconia after a storage period of 5 years. Zirconia specimens were directly coated with PPAAm (ZA0) or stored in aseptic packages at room temperature for 5 years (ZA5). Uncoated zirconia specimens (Zmt) and the micro-structured endosseous surface of a zirconia implant (Z14) served as controls. The elemental compositions of the PPAAm coatings were characterized and the viability, spreading and gene expression of human osteoblastic cells (MG-63) were assessed. The presence of amino groups in the PPAAm layer was significantly decreased after 5 years due to oxidation processes. Cell viability after 24 h was significantly higher on uncoated specimens (Zmt) than on all other surfaces. Cell spreading after 20 min was significantly higher for Zmt = ZA0 > ZA5 > Z14, while, after 24 h, spreading also varied significantly between Zmt > ZA0 > ZA5 > Z14. The expression of the mRNA differentiation markers collagen I and osteocalcin was upregulated on untreated surfaces Z14 and Zmt when compared to the PPAAm specimens. Due to the high biocompatibility of zirconia itself, a PPAAm coating may not additionally improve cell behavior.

Abstract
Micro/nanotopographies (MNTs) have been reported to enhance the osseointegration of biomaterials and modulate cell functions, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) may mediate the topographically induced osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) by regulating the NFATc1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. To test this hypothesis, murine BMSCs were cultured on polished titanium (Ti) discs (PT) and Ti discs carrying titania nanotubes (i.e., MNTs) with diameters of ∼30 and ∼100 nm (termed TNT-30 and TNT-100, respectively). It was found that the MNTs (in particular TNT-100) promoted the expression and activation of TRPV4. Inhibition of TRPV4 in BMSCs cultured on TNT-100 reduced the expression of osteoblastic genes and the gene expression and protein levels of NFATc1 and Wnt3a/β-catenin and also decreased nuclear translocation of NFATc1 and β-catenin (all vs uninhibited BMSCs). Conversely, activation of TRPV4 in BMSCs cultured on PT increased the expression of the osteoblastic gene and the gene expression and protein level of NFATc1 and Wnt3a/β-catenin and also enhanced the nuclear translocation of NFATc1 and β-catenin (all vs unactivated BMSCs). These differences suggest that the MNTs promoted TRPV4 expression and activation to enhance intracellular Ca2+, which further increased the nuclear translocation of NFATc1 and stimulated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, thus leading to upregulated expression of osteoblastic genes. These results indicate TRPV4 to be a mediator in MNT-induced osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro pilot study was to analyse the adhesion behaviour of human osteoblasts and fibroblasts on polyether ether ketone (PEEK) when compared with titanium surfaces in an inflammatory environment under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) incubation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of primary human osteoblasts/fibroblasts on titanium/PEEK samples were created. The gene expression of the LPS-binding protein (LBP) and the LPS receptor (toll-like receptor 4; TLR4) was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunocytochemistry was used to obtain evidence for the distribution of LBP/TLR4 at the protein level of the extra-cellular-matrix-binding protein vinculin and the actin cytoskeleton. SEM images revealed that the osteoblasts and fibroblasts on the PEEK surfaces had adhesion characteristics comparable to those of titanium. The osteoblasts contracted under LPS incubation and a significantly increased LBP gene expression were detected. This was discernible at the protein level on all the materials. Whereas no increase of TLR4 was detected with regard to mRNA concentrations, a considerable increase in the antibody reaction was detected on all the materials. As is the case with titanium, the colonisation of human osteoblasts and fibroblasts on PEEK samples is possible under pro-inflammatory environmental conditions and the cellular inflammation behaviour towards PEEK is lower than that of titanium.

Abstract
Biomaterials should be bioactive in stimulating the surrounding tissue to accelerate the ingrowth of permanent implants. Chemical and topographical features of the biomaterial surface affect cell physiology at the interface. A frequently asked question is whether the chemistry or the topography dominates the cell-material interaction. Recently, we demonstrated that a plasma-chemical modification using allylamine as a precursor was able to boost not only cell attachment and cell migration, but also intracellular signaling in vital cells. This microwave plasma process generated a homogenous nanolayer with randomly distributed, positively charged amino groups. In contrast, the surface of the human osteoblast is negatively charged at −15 mV due to its hyaluronan coat. As a consequence, we assumed that positive charges at the material surface—provoking electrostatic interaction forces—are attractive for the first cell encounter. This plasma-chemical nanocoating can be used for several biomaterials in orthopedic and dental implantology like titanium, titanium alloys, calcium phosphate scaffolds, and polylactide fiber meshes produced by electrospinning. In this regard, we wanted to ascertain whether plasma polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) is also suitable for increasing the attractiveness of a ceramic surface for dental implants using Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia.

Abstract
Besides their use for drug and gene delivery, dendrimer molecules are also favorable for the design of new surface coatings for orthopedic and dental implants due to the wide variety of functional terminal groups and their multivalent character. The purpose of this work was to observe how covalently immobilized polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer molecules with different terminal chemical groups influenced serum protein adsorption and osteoblast behavior. To this end, fifth-generation PAMAM dendrimers were immobilized on silicon surfaces with an anhydride-containing silane coupling agent which results in positively charged terminal NH2-groups. Coatings with a net negative charge were generated by introduction of terminal CO2H- or CH3-groups. Surface characterization was performed by static and dynamic contact angle and zeta potential. The in vitro studies with human MG-63 osteoblastic cells focused on cell adhesion, morphology, cell cycle, apoptosis and actin formation within 24 h. This work demonstrated that cell growth was dependent on surface chemistry and correlated strongly with the surface free energy and charge of the material. The positively charged NH2 surface induced tight cell attachment with well-organized actin stress fibers and a well spread morphology. In contrast, CO2H- and CH3-functional groups provoked a decrease in cell adhesion and spreading and indicated higher apoptotic potential, although both were hydrophilic. The knowledge about the cell-material dialogue is of relevance for the development of bioactive implants in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The topographical and chemical surface features of biomaterials are sensed by the cells, affecting their physiology at the interface. When placed on titanium, we recently discovered osteoblasts attempted caveolae-mediated phagocytosis of the sharp-edged microstructures. This active, energy-consuming process resulted in decreased osteoblastic cell functions (e.g. secretion of extracellular matrix proteins). However, chemical modification with plasma polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) was able to amplify osteoblast adhesion and spreading, resulting in better implant osseointegration in vivo In the present in vitro study, we analyzed whether this plasma polymer nanocoating is able to attenuate the microtopography-induced changes of osteoblast physiology. On PPAAm, we found cells showed a higher cell interaction with the geometrical micropillars by 30 min, and a less distinct reduction in the mRNA expression of collagen type I, osteocalcin and fibronectin after 24 h of cell growth. Interestingly, the cells were more active and sensitive on PPAAm-coated micropillars, and react with a substantial Ca2+ ion mobilization after stimulation with ATP. These results highlight that it is important for osteoblasts to establish cell surface contact for them to perform their functions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The surfaces of endoosseous dental implants have been subjected to numerous modifications in order to create a surface which can provide rapid bone healing and fast implant loading. Each modification has involved changes to the chemical composition and topography of the surfaces which have resulted in various biological reactions to the implanted material. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface topography and chemistry of various modified titanium surfaces: (1) machined surface (MA), (2) alumina-blasted (Al2O3), (3) alumina-blasted and acid-etched (Al2O3 DE), (4) hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate grit-blasted (HA/TCP) and (5) hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate grit-blasted and acid-etched (HA/TCP DE) and to analyse the effects of surface roughness, and chemical composition on human osteoblast vitality, differentiation, morphology and orientation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The modified surfaces were subjected to topographic analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), optical profilometry, roughness analysis and chemical composition evaluation using Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The biological effects of the titanium modifications was analysed using human osteoblasts cell culture where the cell morphology, vitality (MTS assay) and differentiation (ALP activity) was analysed. RESULTS The machined surfaces were classified as anisotropic, smooth and composed of titanium and oxygen. The blasted surface samples along with the blasted and etched samples were found to be isotropic and rough. The grit-blasting procedure resulted in the incorporation of components from the blasting material. In the case of the blasted and etched samples, etching decreased the surface development as indicated by the Sdr and also reduced the amount of chemical compounds incorporated into the surfaces during the blasting procedure. The attached NHOst cells, proliferated the surfaces. With regard to the MA samples, the cells spread close to the titanium surface, with expanded cytoplasmic extensions and lamelipodia and were oriented in line with the groves left after machining. On the rough substrates, cells were less dispersed and exhibited numerous cytoplasmic extensions, filopodia and interconnections, they were not oriented with respect to the surfaces features. The cell viability of all samples except for Al2O3 decreased after the first day of culture. For all Al2O3, Al2O3 DE and HA samples the viability increased with culture time after an initial reduction. At the end of the culture period the ALP activity was slightly greater on Al2O3 and HA samples compared to the control with the HA DE sample having the same activity as the control. The Al2O3, HA and HA DE ALP samples showed comparable activity and were statistically different from MA and Al2O3 DE samples. CONCLUSIONS In this study, variously treated titanium surfaces were correlated with osteoblastic cell viability, morphology and differentiation in comparison with the plastic and smooth titanium. All examined surfaces were found to be biocompatible. Favourable cell reactions were observed for Al2O3 and HA blasted surfaces. The surface roughness patterns influenced the growth orientation while the surface topography influenced osteoblast morphology. Further animal studies are necessary to compare the in-vivo effect on osseointegration of these modified titanium surfaces.

Abstract
Topographical and chemical features of biomaterial surfaces affect the cell physiology at the interface and are promising tools for the improvement of implants. The dominance of the surface topography on cell behavior is often accentuated. Striated surfaces induce an alignment of cells and their intracellular adhesion-mediated components. Recently, it could be demonstrated that a chemical modification via plasma polymerized allylamine was not only able to boost osteoblast cell adhesion and spreading but also override the cell alignment on stochastically machined titanium. In order to discern what kind of chemical surface modifications let the cell forget the underlying surface structure, we used an approach on geometric microgrooves produced by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). In this study, we systematically investigated the surface modification by (i) methyl-, carboxyl-, and amino functionalization created via plasma polymerization processes, (ii) coating with the extracellular matrix protein collagen-I or immobilization of the integrin adhesion peptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), and (iii) treatment with an atmospheric pressure plasma jet operating with argon/oxygen gas (Ar/O2). Interestingly, only the amino functionalization, which presented positive charges at the surface, was able to chemically disguise the microgrooves and therefore to interrupt the microtopography induced contact guidance of the osteoblastic cells MG-63. However, the RGD peptide coating revealed enhanced cell spreading as well, with fine, actin-containing protrusions. The Ar/O2-functionalization demonstrated the best topography handling, e.g. cells closely attached even to features such as the sidewalls of the groove steps. In the end, the amino functionalization is unique in abrogating the cell contact guidance.

Abstract
Current surgical reconstruction of facial defects including nose or ear involves harvesting patient's own autologous tissue, causing donor site morbidity and is limited by tissue availability. The use of alternative synthetic materials is also limited due to complications related to poor tissue integration and angiogenesis, which lead to extrusion of implants and infection. We intend to meet this clinical challenge by using a novel nanocomposite called polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane poly(carbonate-urea)urethane (POSS-PCU), which has already been successfully taken to the clinical bench-side as a replacement for trachea, tear duct and vascular by-pass graft. In this study, we aimed to enhance tissue integration and angiogenesis of POSS-PCU using an established surface treatment technique, plasma surface polymerisation (PSP), functionalising the surface using NH2 and COOH chemical groups. Physical characterisation of scaffolds was achieved by using a number of techniques, including water contact angle, SEM, AFM and XPS to study the effects of PSM modification on the POSS-PCU nanocomposite in detail, which has not been previously documented. Wettability evaluation confirmed that scaffolds become hydrophilic and AFM analysis confirmed that nano topographical alterations resulted as a consequence of PSP treatment. Chemical functionalisation was confirmed using XPS, which suggested the presence of NH2 and COOH functional groups on the scaffolds. The modified scaffolds were then tested both in vitro and in vivo to investigate the potential of PSP modified POSS-PCU scaffolds on tissue integration and angiogenesis. In vitro analysis confirmed that PSM modification resulted in higher cellular growth, proliferation and ECM production as assessed by biochemical assays and immunofluorescence. Subcutaneous implantation of modified POSS-PCU scaffolds was then carried out over 12-weeks, resulting in enhanced tissue integration and angiogenesis (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates a simple and cost effective surface modification method to overcome the current challenge of implant extrusion and infection caused by poor integration and angiogenesis.

Abstract
AIM Topographically modified substrates are increasingly used in tissue engineering to enhance biomimicry. The overarching hypothesis is that topographical cues will control cellular response at the cell-substrate interface. MATERIALS & METHODS The influence of anisotropically ordered poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) substrates (constant groove width of ~1860 nm; constant line width of ~2220 nm; variable groove depth of ~35, 306 and 2046 nm) on in vitro and in vivo osteogenesis were assessed. RESULTS & DISCUSSION We demonstrate that substrates with groove depths of approximately 306 and 2046 nm promote osteoblast alignment parallel to underlined topography in vitro. However, none of the topographies assessed promoted directional osteogenesis in vivo. CONCLUSION 2D imprinting technologies are useful tools for in vitro cell phenotype maintenance.

Abstract
The generation of hybrid materials based on β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and various biodegradable polymers like poly(l-lactide-co-d,l-lactide) (PLA) represents a common approach to overcoming the disadvantages of pure TCP devices. These disadvantages lie in TCP's mechanical properties, such as brittleness. The positive characteristic of PLA - improvement of compressive strength of calcium phosphate scaffolds - is diametrically opposed to its cell attractiveness. Therefore, the objective of this work was to optimize osteoblast migration and cellularization inside a three-dimensionally (3D) printed, PLA polymer stabilized TCP hybrid scaffold by a plasma polymer process depositing amino groups via allylamine. MG-63 osteoblastic cells inside the 10mm hybrid scaffold were dynamically cultivated for 14days in a 3D model system integrated in a perfusion reactor. The whole TCP/PLA hybrid scaffold was continuously colonized due to plasma polymerized allylamine activation inducing the migration potential of osteoblasts.

Abstract
The long-term stability and γ-sterilisability of bioactive layers is the precondition for the application of implants. Thus, aging processes of a microwave deposited, plasma polymerized allylamine nanofilm (PPAAm) with positively charged amino groups were evaluated concerning physicochemical characteristics and cell adhesion capacity over the course of one year. XPS, FT-IR, surface free energy, and water contact angle measurements elucidated not only the oxidation of the PPAAm film due to atmospheric oxygen reacting with surface free radicals but also the influence of atmospheric moisture during sample storage in ambient air. Surprisingly, within 7 days 70% of the primary amino groups are lost and mostly converted into amides. A positive zeta-potential was verified for half a year and longer. Increasing polar surface groups and a water contact angle shift from 60° to 40° are further indications of altered surface properties. Nevertheless, MG-63 human osteoblastic cells adhered and spread out considerably on aged and additionally γ-sterilized PPAAm layers deposited on polished titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V_P). These cell-relevant characteristics were highly significant over the whole period of one year and may not be related to the existence of primary amino groups. Rather, the oxidation products, the chemical amide group, that is, seem to support the attachment of osteoblasts at all times up to one year.

Abstract
Soft tissue complications are clinically relevant problems after osteosynthesis of fractures. The goal is to develop a method for reduction of fibroblast adhesion and proliferation on titanium implant surfaces by plasma polymerisation of the organo-silicon monomer hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO). HMDSO was deposited under continuous wave conditions in excess oxygen (ppHMDSO surface) and selected samples were further modified with an additional oxygen plasma (ppHMDSO + O2 surface). Surface characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, water contact angle measurements, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In our experimental setup the mechanical properties, roughness and topography of the titanium were preserved, while surface chemistry was drastically changed. Fibroblast proliferation was assessed by alamarBlue assay, cell morphology by confocal microscopy visualization of eGFP-transducted fibroblasts, and cell viability by Annexine V/propidium iodide assay. Both modified surfaces, non-activated hydrophobic ppHMDSO and activated hydrophilic ppHMDSO + O2 were able to dramatically reduce fibroblast colonization and proliferation compared to standard titanium. However, this effect was more strongly pronounced on the hydrophobic ppHMDSO surface, which caused reduced cell adhesion and prevented proliferation of fibroblasts. The results demonstrate that plasma modifications of titanium using HMDSO are valuable candidates for future developments in anti-adhesive and anti-proliferative coatings for titanium fracture implants.

Abstract
Cell-biomaterial interactions are strongly affected by topographical and chemical surface characteristics. We found out earlier that geometric titanium (Ti) pillar structures in the micrometer range induce the cells to rearrange their actin cytoskeleton in short fibers solely on the top of the pillars. As a result, cell physiology was hampered concerning collagen I synthesis and spreading capacity. Furthermore, the position-dependent initial cell adhesion strength was declined near the edges.
We asked whether these observed cellular effects can be performed only in combination with Ti or occur independently of chemical surface features. In addition, the specific culture conditions, e.g. serum content or influence of gravity, were of interest.
Human primary osteoblasts were cultured in Osteoblast Growth Medium with serum containing SupplementMix on pure silicon pillars (5x5x5 μm) or on samples additionally sputtered with Ti (as reference) or gold. To offer the cells ligands for their adhesion receptors, we coated the pillars with collagen I or alternatively with a plasma polymer layer from allylamine. Different from standard culture conditions, the cells were cultured against gravity as well as without serum. The actin cytoskeleton was stained with phalloidin-TRITC after 24 h and analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Interestingly, on all modifications tested the cell’s actin cytoskeleton was distinctly organized in short fibers on the top of the pillars. Thus, we were able to exclude the influence of (i) the material chemistry (gold, silicon, physical plasma vs. Ti), (ii) the protein deposition on the pillar top and edges, and (iii) the impression caused by gravity.

Abstract
By means of plasma polymerization, positively charged, nanometre-thin coatings can be applied to implant surfaces. The aim of the present study was to quantify the adhesion of human bone cells in vitro and to evaluate the bone ongrowth in vivo, on titanium surfaces modified by plasma polymer coatings. Different implant surface configurations were examined: titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) coated with plasma-polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) and plasma-polymerized ethylenediamine (PPEDA) versus uncoated. Shear stress on human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells was investigated in vitro using a spinning disc device. Furthermore, bone-to-implant contact (BIC) was evaluated in vivo. Custom-made conical titanium implants were inserted at the medial tibia of female Sprague-Dawley rats. After a follow-up of six weeks, the BIC was determined by means of histomorphometry. The quantification of cell adhesion showed a significantly higher shear stress for MG-63 cells on PPAAm and PPEDA compared to uncoated Ti6Al4V. Uncoated titanium alloyed implants showed the lowest BIC (40.4%). Implants with PPAAm coating revealed a clear but not significant increase of the BIC (58.5%) and implants with PPEDA a significantly increased BIC (63.7%). In conclusion, plasma polymer coatings demonstrate enhanced cell adhesion and bone ongrowth compared to uncoated titanium surfaces.

[PMID: 24008038 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2013.08.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2013] [Accepted: 08/12/2013] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Surface characteristics of biomaterials such as wettability, rigidity, roughness, and electrical charge affect the fate of transplanted cells such as progenitor cells or stem cells for use in regenerative medicine. Of these, the effects of surface electrical charges on cellular behaviour such as adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation are not well understood. We prepared precisely charged culture surfaces ranging from -28 mV to +21 mV, simply by surface deposition of polyion complex nanoparticles prepared by mixing a positively charged thermoresponsive homopolymer, poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate), with negatively charged plasmid DNA at various charge ratios. Drastic morphological changes of adipose-derived vascular progenitor cells were generated on the positively charged surface of organized forms at +19 mV. Capillary-like networks or single aggregates of these cells were selectively created depending on cell seeding density. Our findings offer new insights that may aid develop stem cell-processing techniques for use in regenerative medicine.

Aging effects of plasma polymerized ethylenediamine (PPEDA) thin films on cell-adhesive implant coatings. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2013; 33:3875-80. [PMID: 23910290 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2013.05.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2012] [Revised: 03/27/2013] [Accepted: 05/10/2013] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Thin plasma polymer films from ethylenediamine were deposited on planar substrates placed on the powered electrode of a low pressure capacitively coupled 13.56 MHz discharge. The chemical composition of the plasma polymer films was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) as well as by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) after derivatization of the primary amino groups. The PPEDA films undergo an alteration during the storage in ambient air, particularly, due to reactions with oxygen. The molecular changes in PPEDA films were studied over a long-time period of 360 days. Simultaneously, the adhesion of human osteoblast-like cells MG-63 (ATCC) was investigated on PPEDA coated corundum blasted titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), which is applied as implant material in orthopedic surgery. The cell adhesion was determined by flow cytometry and the cell shape was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Compared to uncoated reference samples a significantly enhanced cell adhesion and proliferation were measured for PPEDA coated samples, which have been maintained after long-time storage in ambient air and additional sterilization by γ-irradiation.
