Modeling of the interaction between osteoblasts and biocompatible substrates as a function of adhesion strength.
A goal of current implantology research is to design devices that induce controlled, guided, and rapid healing. Nanoscale structured substrates [e.g., titania nanotubes (TNTs) or carbon nanotubes (CNTs)] dramatically improve the functions of conventional biomaterials. The present investigation evaluated the behavior of osteoblasts cells cultured on smooth and nanostructured substrates, by measuring osteoblasts specific biomarkers [alkaline phosphatase (AP) and total protein] and cells adhesion strength to substrates, followed by semi-empirical modeling to predict the experimental results. Findings were in total agreement with the current state of the art. The proliferation, as well as the AP and total protein levels were higher on the nanostructure phases (TNTs, CNTs) comparing to the smooth ones (plastic and pure titanium). Cells adhesion strength measured was found higher on the nanostructured materials. This coincided with a higher value of proteins which are directly implicated in the process of adherence. Results were accurately predicted through the Viscoelastic Hybrid Interphase Model. A gradual adherence of bone cells to implants using multilayered biomaterials that involve biodegradable polymeric films and a nanoscale modification of titanium surface is suggested to improve performance through an interphase-mediated osteointegration of orthopedic implants. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
