Interaction of human osteoblast-like Saos-2 and MG-63 cells with thermally oxidized surfaces of a titanium-niobium alloy.

ABSTRACT: An investigation was made of the adhesion, growth and differentiation of osteoblast-like MG-63 and Saos-2 cells on titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb) supports and on TiNb alloy with surfaces oxidized at 165°C under hydrothermal conditions and at 600°C in a stream of air. The oxidation mode and the chemical composition of the samples tuned the morphology, topography and distribution of the charge on their surfaces, which enabled us to evaluate the importance of these material characteristics in the interaction of the cells with the sample surface. Numbers of adhered MG-63 and Saos-2 cells correlated with the number of positively-charged (related with the Nb2O5 phase) and negatively-charged sites (related with the TiO2 phase) on the alloy surface. Proliferation of these cells is correlated with the presence of positively-charged (i.e. basic) sites of the Nb2O5 alloy phase, while cell differentiation is correlated with negatively-charged (acidic) sites of the TiO2 alloy phase. The number of charged sites and adhered cells was substantially higher on the alloy sample oxidized at 600°C than on the hydrothermally treated sample at 165°C. The expression values of osteoblast differentiation markers (collagen type I and osteocalcin) were higher for cells grown on the Ti samples than for those grown on the TiNb samples. This was more particularly apparent in the samples treated at 165°C. No considerable immune activation of murine macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells on the tested samples was found. The secretion of TNF-? by these cells into the cell culture media was much lower than for either cells grown in the presence of bacterial lipopolysaccharide, or untreated control samples. Thus, oxidized Ti and TiNb are both promising materials for bone implantation; TiNb for applications where bone cell proliferation is desirable, and Ti for induction of osteogenic cell differentiation.

Project description:Biomaterials that have been newly implanted inside the body are the substratum targets for a "race for the surface", in which bacterial cells compete against eukaryotic cells for the opportunity to colonize the surface. A victory by the former often results in biomaterial-associated infections, which can be a serious threat to patient health and can undermine the function and performance of the implant. Moreover, bacteria can often have a 'head start' if implant contamination has taken place either prior to or during the surgery. Current prevention and treatment strategies often rely on systemic antibiotic therapies, which are becoming increasingly ineffective due to a growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Nanostructured surfaces that kill bacteria by physically rupturing bacterial cells upon contact have recently emerged as a promising solution for the mitigation of bacterial colonization of implants. Furthermore, these nanoscale features have been shown to enhance the adhesion and proliferation of eukaryotic cells, which is a key to, for example, the successful osseointegration of load-bearing titanium implants. The bactericidal activity and biocompatibility of such nanostructured surfaces are often, however, examined separately, and it is not clear to what extent bacterial cell-surface interactions would affect the subsequent outcomes of host-cell attachment and osseointegration processes. In this study, we investigated the ability of bactericidal nanostructured titanium surfaces to support the attachment and growth of osteoblast-like MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells, despite them having been pre-infected with pathogenic bacteria. MG-63 is a commonly used osteoblastic model to study bone cell viability, adhesion, and proliferation on the surfaces of load-bearing biomaterials, such as titanium. The nanostructured titanium surfaces used here were observed to kill the pathogenic bacteria, whilst simultaneously enhancing the growth of MG-63 cells in vitro when compared to that occurring on sterile, flat titanium surfaces. These results provide further evidence in support of nanostructured bactericidal surfaces being used as a strategy to help eukaryotic cells win the "race for the surface" against bacterial cells on implant materials.
