| Abstract | |
Surface functionalization of metallic surfaces with bioactive molecules has been developed aiming to promote specific cellular responses at the biomaterial-tissue interface. The present study evaluated the development of the osteogenic phenotype in vitro on titanium (Ti) surface nanotopographies functionalized with growth and differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5). Osteogenic cells were obtained by enzymatic digestion of newborn rat calvarial bone and grown for periods of up to 14 days on the following Ti disc surfaces: 1) Machined; 2) 30′ Nanotopography created by a mixture of H2SO4/H2O2 for 30 min; 3) 30′+GDF-5 Nanotopography created by a mixture of H2SO4/H2O2 for 30 min and then adsorbed with 200 ng/mL GDF-5 (overnight at 4 °C); 4) 4h Nanotopography created by a mixture of H2SO4/H2O2 for 4 h; 5) 4h+GDF-5 Nanotopography created by a mixture of H2SO4/H2O2 for 4 h and then adsorbed with 200 ng/mL GDF-5 (overnight at 4 °C). At 4 h, nanotopographies adsorbed with GDF-5 exhibited a significantly lower proportion of spread cells. At days 1, 3 and 7 no major differences in terms of cell viability were detected among groups. At day 3, epifluorescence revealed large extracellular OPN accumulation only for 30′+GDF-5, 4h and 4h+GDF-5. Real time PCR analysis showed for GDF-5 groups: i) lower mRNA levels for RUNX2, ALP e BSP at day 10; ii) higher RUNX2 and ALP expression at day 7 compared with day 10, with the lowest levels for 4h+GDF-5; iii) increased OPN levels from day 7 to day 10, except for 30′+GDF-5, which remained unaltered. Cultures grown on nanotopographies adsorbed with GDF-5 exhibited significantly higher values for ALP activity at 10 days and enhanced mineralized matrix formation at day 14. In conclusion, surface functionalization of Ti nanotopographies with GDF-5 can accelerate and/or increase the expression of the osteogenic phenotype in vitro. (AU) | |
