Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Immunology
  • Orthopedic Implants

Background:

  • Additive manufacturing (AM) enables tailored porous metallic biomaterials.
  • Surface biofunctionalization can improve tissue regeneration and reduce implant-associated infections (IAIs).
  • Immune responses to biofunctionalized AM implants require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the immunomodulatory effects of AM porous titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and its surface modifications.
  • To assess the impact of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on immune cells.
  • To evaluate the biocompatibility of these materials with human primary macrophages and mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs).

Main Methods:

  • Selective laser melting (SLM) was used to fabricate porous Ti-6Al-4V implants.
  • Surface biofunctionalization was achieved using PEO with and without AgNPs.
  • Macrophage polarization, cell viability, and morphology were analyzed.
  • Cytotoxicity assays were performed on hMSCs and macrophages.

Main Results:

  • Non-treated AM titanium induced a mixed pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophage response.
  • PEO treatment promoted a pro-repair macrophage phenotype.
  • No cytotoxicity was observed for hMSCs with any treatment.
  • AgNPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity towards macrophages.

Conclusions:

  • AM porous titanium with PEO treatment demonstrates promising immunomodulatory potential for tissue repair.
  • Caution and further research are necessary regarding the use of AgNPs in implants due to macrophage cytotoxicity.
  • Surface modification strategies are crucial for optimizing the biological performance of AM biomaterials.
