Abstract

Abstract Purpose Osseointegration at the titanium surface-bone interface is one of the key factors affecting the success rate of dental implants. However, the titanium surface always forms a passive oxide layer and impacts bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation after exposure to the atmosphere, which further leads to poor osseointegration. Given that wet storage helps prevent titanium aging and that weakly alkaline conditions stimulate BMSC osteogenic differentiation, the aim of the present study was to explore whether sodium bicarbonate, a well-known hydrogen ion (pH) buffer, forms an alkaline microenvironment on titanium surfaces to promote BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Material and methods In this work, sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA) titanium discs were soaked in 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, and 200 mM sodium bicarbonate at room temperature for 5 min without rinsing. The influence of this surface modification on BMSC adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation was measured. Additionally, cellular osteogenic differentiation–associated signaling pathways were evaluated. Results We showed that titanium discs treated with sodium bicarbonate created an extracellular environment with a higher pH for BMSCs than the normal physiological value for 5 days, strongly promoting BMSC osteogenic differentiation via the activation of integrin-focal adhesion kinase-alkaline phosphatase (Itg-FAK-ALP). In addition, the proliferation and adhesion of BMSCs were increased after alkaline treatment. These cellular effects were most significant with 100 mM sodium bicarbonate. Conclusion The results indicated that the titanium surface treated with sodium bicarbonate improved BMSC osteogenic differentiation mainly by creating an alkaline microenvironment, which further activated the Itg-FAK-ALP signaling pathway. Clinical relevance Surfaces modified with 100 mM sodium bicarbonate had the highest initial pH value and thus showed the greatest potential to improve BMSC performance on titanium surfaces, identifying a novel conservation method for dental implants.
