Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Titanium and titanium alloy are used mostly in artificial joints, fracture fixation, and oral transplantation, while there are complex cases of insufficient bone mass in these areas. The deepened research of stem cells offers a solution for bone injury to promote new bone formation. The biocompatibility of titanium and stem cells and optimization of titanium surface modification have aroused people's attention.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the biocompatibility of titanium and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells can be improved by type I collagen modification of titanium sheets.
METHODS: The experiment was divided into two groups. Modification group: titanium sheet was modified with type I collagen; control group: titanium sheet was not modified with type I collagen. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells at passage 6 were implanted into titanium sheet in two groups. Then we calculated the number of adherent cells in two groups at 1, 2 and 4 hours after implantation, and compared the cell adhesion rate. MTT assay was used to observe the proliferation of cells on titanium sheet at 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after implantation. DNA and protein content of cells were detected at 3, 6, 9 days after implantation. The growth of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells seeded upon the titanium sheets was observed under scanning electron microscope at 6 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: When the cells were cultured for 1 hour and 2 hours, the number of adherent cells in the modification group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). The absorbance of cells in two groups was increased as the culture time, as detected by MTT assay. The modification group had a significantly higher absorbance value than the control group at 4, 6, 8 days (P < 0.05). DNA and protein contents of the cells in the modification group were higher than that in control group at 6 and 9 days (P < 0.05). At 6 days, the number of adherent cells and secretion of adherent stromal cell matrix in the modification group were significantly better than that in control group, observed by scanning electron microscopy. Type I collagen modified titanium sheets have good surface activity and biocompatibility, and can promote the proliferation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
