Growth Factor Release from Polyelectrolyte-Coated Titanium for Implant Applications
2014
Polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings based on poly(methacrylic acid) and poly-l-histidine were formed on anodized titanium surfaces with adsorbed bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) or basic fibroblast growth factor (FGFb). These coatings are proposed for use on titanium implanted devices. Coatings were capable of sustained release of growth factor over 25 days, with BMP-2 and FGFb exhibiting approximately identical release profiles. Cell culture on growth factor-eluting surfaces was more effective for preosteoblasts on BMP-2-eluting surfaces than for fibroblasts on FGFb-eluting surfaces. Cell counts at all time points on BMP-2-eluting surfaces were significantly higher than for those on anodized titanium or polyelectrolyte surfaces that did not contain BMP-2. Alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly higher after 21 days on BMP-2-eluting surfaces, indicating increased bone growth.
