Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Titanium artificial cervical disc has good biocompatibility, but titanium alloy is shown to have poor biological activity, low bonding strength, easy release of metal ions under physiological conditions.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different coating for the titanium plate of domestic cervical artificial disc on adhesion and differentiation ability of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from Wistar rats were seeded into 24-well titanium plates with hydroxyapatite coating, titanium powder+hydroxyapatite coating and bare titanium plate. Cell culture was terminated after 24 and 48 hours, and the cell growth was observed under scanning electron microscope. After 24 hours of inoculation, osteogenic inducer was added; then, cell supernatant was collected at 3, 5, 7 days after cell lysis and centrifugation to detect the activity of alkaline phosphatase.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After composite culture with titanium plates with hydroxyapatite coating or titanium powder+hydroxyapatite coating, cultured cells were in polygonal shape, and pseudopodia were extended into the micropores that were adhered closely to the material surface. Cells cultured with bare titanium plates had poor differentiation and adhesion rate. With time, the expression of alkaline phosphatase was increased in each group, especially in the groups of titanium plates with hydroxyapatite coating and titanium powder+hydroxyapatite coating (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that titanium plates with hydroxyapatite coating or titanium powder+hydroxyapatite coating can promote adhesion and differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
