Microporous hydroxyapatite (mHA) ceramics enhance initial human bone cell attachment by increasing protein adsorption. However, this leads to reduced cell proliferation compared to non-microporous hydroxyapatite (pHA).

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Materials Science
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Ceramic microstructure influences cellular events and bone integration.
  • Early cell adhesion is critical for long-term cellular responses.
  • Understanding surface properties is key to optimizing biomaterial performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the in vitro effect of microporous hydroxyapatite (mHA) versus non-microporous hydroxyapatite (pHA) microstructure on protein adsorption and human bone cell (SaOs-2) attachment and growth.
  • To correlate surface properties like surface energy and roughness with cellular responses.
  • To compare mHA and pHA ceramics with plastic controls.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of mHA and pHA using X-ray diffraction and FTIR.

  • Contact-angle measurements to determine surface energy.
  • Roughness measurements (Sa).
  • Protein adsorption evaluation using SDS-PAGE, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) coupled with mass spectrometry, and direct immunolabeling.
  • Assessment of SaOs-2 cell attachment (30 min to 24 h) and proliferation (96 h) on ceramics and plastic controls.

    • Main Results:

    • mHA exhibited higher surface roughness and significant open microporosity (12%) compared to pHA (2.5% closed pores).
    • mHA showed substantially higher protein adsorption (66.02 μg/m² via SDS-PAGE, 10-fold more via TPD) than pHA and plastic.
    • SaOs-2 cells displayed unique morphology and significantly higher initial attachment on mHA, but lower proliferation after 96 hours compared to pHA and plastic.

    Conclusions:

    • Microporous hydroxyapatite (mHA) ceramic surfaces significantly enhance serum protein adsorption.
    • Increased protein adsorption on mHA promotes superior initial human bone cell attachment.
    • The mHA microstructure, while enhancing adhesion, appears to inhibit long-term cell proliferation, suggesting a trade-off between initial integration and sustained growth.
