Abstract

There have been several attempts to improve the cellular and molecular interactions at the tissue–implant interface. Here, the biocompatibility of titanium-based implants (e.g., Grade 2 Titanium alloy (Ti-40) and titanium–niobium alloy (Ti-Nb)) has been assessed using different cellular and molecular examinations. Cell culture experiments were performed on three substrates: Ti-40, Ti-Nb, and tissue culture polystyrene as control. Cells number and growth rate were assessed by cell counting in various days and cell morphology was monitored using microscopic observations. The evaluation of cells’ behavior on the surface of the implants paves the way for designing appropriate biomaterials for orthopedic and dental applications. It was observed that the cell growth rate on the control sample was relatively higher than that of the Ti-40 and Ti-Nb samples because of the coarse surface of the titanium-based materials. On the other hand, the final cell population was higher for titanium-based implants; this difference was attributed to the growth pattern, in which cells were not monolayered on the surface. Collagen I was not observed, while collagen III was secreted. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion were enhanced, and IL-8 secretion decreased. Moreover, various types of cells can be utilized with a series of substrates to unfold the cell behavior mechanism and cell–substrate interaction.
