Proliferation of preosteoblasts on TiO2 nanotubes is FAK/RhoA related.

ABSTRACT: Topographies promote surface-dependent behaviors which may positively influence peri-implant bone healing. In this study the topological effects of TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) on aspects of preosteoblast behavior was investigated. Specifically, we hypothesize that TNTs can influence cell proliferation of preosteoblasts through cell adhesion and related modulation of FAK and RhoA. By culturing MC3T3-E1 cells on TNTs with different diameters (40nm and 150nm diameters), topography-dependent modulation in cell morphology and cell growth were observed. The average spreading area of the cell on Flat Ti, 40nm TNTs and 150nm TNTs were respectively 2176.05 ?m2, 1510.44 ?m2 and 800.72 ?m2. Proliferation increased among cells cultured on the 150nm TNTs (28.6%) compared with on Flat Ti (17.06%). The expression of FAK was 86.2% down regulated superimposition of TNTs topography. RhoA expression only slightly decreased (45.9%). Increasing TNT diameter enhanced initial adherent cell growth, which was relevant to the increased RhoA-to-FAK ratio in the cell. Increased TNT diameter was associated with higher ratio and greater proliferation in the first 24 hours. These findings not only support our hypothesis, but suggest that RhoA might be critically involved in TNTs mediated cell proliferation. Future investigation using functional gain and loss of RhoA may further reveal its mechanism.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher failure rate of dental implant treatments. However, whether titanium (Ti) implants with TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) surface can retain their biocompatibility and osteogenetic ability under DM conditions has not been investigated; in addition, their behavior in DM conditions is not well characterized.Materials and MethodsPure Ti discs were surface treated into the polishing (mechanically polished, MP), sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA), and TNT groups. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the surface morphology. The cell adhesion and proliferation ability on different modified Ti surfaces at various glucose concentrations (5.5, 11, 16.5, and 22 mM) was detected by the CCK-8 assay. The osteogenetic ability on different modified Ti surfaces under high-glucose conditions was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN) immunofluorescence, Western blot, and Alizarin ?Red staining in vitro. Detection of cell apoptosis and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was undertaken both before and after N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment to assess the oxidative stress associated with different modified Ti surfaces under high-glucose conditions. An in vivo study was conducted in DM rats with different modified Ti femoral implants. The osteogenetic ability of different modified Ti implants in DM rats was assessed using a micro-CT scan.ResultsHigh-glucose conditions inhibited cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenetic ability of different modified Ti surfaces. High-glucose conditions induced higher apoptosis rate and intracellular ROS level on different modified Ti surfaces; these effects were alleviated by NAC. Compared with the SLA surface, the TNT surface alleviated the osteogenetic inhibition induced by high-glucose states by reversing the overproduction of ROS in vitro. In the in vivo experiment, micro-CT scan analysis further confirmed the best osteogenetic ability of TNT surface in rats with DM.ConclusionTNT surface modification alleviates osteogenetic inhibition induced by DM. It may provide a more favorable Ti implant surface for patients with DM.
