The major role of integrins is to mediate cell adhesion but some of them are involved in the osteoblasts-titanium (Ti) interactions. In this study, we investigated the participation of integrins in osteoblast differentiation induced by Ti with nanotopography (Ti-Nano) and with microtopography (Ti-Micro). By using a PCR array, we observed that, compared with Ti-Micro, Ti-Nano upregulated the expression of five integrins in mesenchymal stem cells, including integrin β3, which increases osteoblast ...[more]
