Abstract

Samples from intraosseous dental implants, removed from patients for mechanical failures, were examined to analyse the interaction between hydroxyapatite as plasma sprayed coating on titanium supports and human bone. The implantation time varied up to 8 years. No failures had arisen from problems at the interface between the hydroxyapatite coating and bone. The number of samples examined and the implantation times give good statistical conclusions. Histological and microchemical studies showed the good performance and compatibility of this sprayed hydroxyapatite. We present evidence from the best samples which show close bonding with the surrounding bone tissue. New bone is seen all around the coated implant. The composition of the calcium phosphate deposited on the hydroxyapatite and cellular approach were determined, and demonstrate the efficiency of the interaction between this plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite and the bone.

Structure and mucoadhesion of mussel glue protein in dilute solution.

Purified mussel adhesive protein mefp-1 (Mytilus edulis foot protein 1) has been studied regarding its state of oligomerization and gross conformation in dilute solution. Sedimentation equilibrium in the analytical ultracentrifuge of a dilute solution of protein (0.4 mg/mL) in acetate buffer at pH 4.5 and I = 0.10 M yielded an apparent molecular weight (whole distribution weight average, Mw, app) of 114 000 +/- 5000 via the "M" procedure, a value in almost exact agreement with the monomeric molecular weight obtained by MALDI mass spectrometry. At this low concentration, it is reasonable to assume thermodynamic ideality, i.e., Mw,app approximately Mw. This result, together with plots of point weight average apparent molecular weight versus concentration for three different loading concentrations (0.4, 0.8, 1.0 mg/mL), clearly demonstrates that this protein is essentially monomeric in dilute solution. Sedimentation velocity experiments yielded an estimate of the sedimentation coefficient s020,w = 2.34 +/- 0.17 S, which for M = 110 000 gives a frictional ratio f/f0 = 3.2 +/- 0.3. The interpretation of this, in terms of an extended rather than globular conformation for the structure of mefp-1 in dilute solution, is considered, within plausible limits of molecular hydration, and models for the structure in solution are considered, in light of the thermodynamic nonideality behavior of these molecules and previously published circular dichroism data. The significance of these observations in terms of the bioadhesive properties of mefp-1 is described, and the very strong interaction in dilute solution with a mucin glycoprotein is demonstrated.

Design and function of novel osteoblast-adhesive peptides for chemical modification of biomaterials.

Proactive, "next generation" dental/orthopedic biomaterials must be designed rationally to elicit specific, timely, and desirable responses from surrounding cells/tissues; for example, such biomaterials should support and enhance osteoblast adhesion (a crucial function for anchorage-dependent cells). In the past, integrin-binding peptides have been immobilized on substrates to partially control osteoblast adhesion; the present study focused on the design, synthesis, and bioactivity of the novel peptide sequence Lys-Arg-Ser-Arg that selectively enhances heparan sulfate-mediated osteoblast adhesion mechanisms. Osteoblast, but not endothelial cell or fibroblast, adhesion was enhanced significantly (p < 0.05) on substrates modified with Lys-Arg-Ser-Arg peptides, indicating that these peptides may be osteoblast- or bone cell specific. Blocking osteoblast cell-membrane receptors with various concentrations of soluble Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser peptides did not inhibit subsequent cell adhesion on substrates modified with Lys-Arg-Ser-Arg peptides, providing evidence that osteoblasts interact with Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser and with Lys-Arg-Ser-Arg peptides via distinct (i.e., integrin- and proteoglycan-mediated) mechanisms, each uniquely necessary for osteoblast adhesion. The present study constitutes an example of rational design/selection of bioactive peptides, confirms that osteoblast adhesion to substrates can be controlled selectively and significantly by immobilized peptides, and elucidates criteria and strategies for the design of proactive dental/orthopedic implant biomaterials.

Biomimetic engineering of non-adhesive glycocalyx-like surfaces using oligosaccharide surfactant polymers.

The external region of a cell membrane, known as the glycocalyx, is dominated by glycosylated molecules, which direct specific interactions such as cell-cell recognition and contribute to the steric repulsion that prevents undesirable non-specific adhesion of other molecules and cells. Mimicking the non-adhesive properties of a glycocalyx provides a potential solution to the clinical problems, such as thrombosis, that are associated with implantable devices owing to non-specific adsorption of plasma proteins. Here we describe a biomimetic surface modification of graphite using oligosaccharide surfactant polymers, which, like a glycocalyx, provides a dense and confluent layer of oligosaccharides. The surfactant polymers consist of a flexible poly(vinyl amine) with dextran and alkanoyl side chains. We show that alkanoyl side chains assemble on graphite through hydrophobic interaction and epitaxial adsorption. This constrains the polymer backbone to lie parallel to the substrate, with solvated dextran side chains protruding into the aqueous phase, creating a glycocalyx-like coating. The resulting biomimetic surface is effective in suppressing protein adsorption from human plasma protein solution.
