Unlabelled: This study is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in the improved in vitro and in vivo responses of osteoblasts on poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (poly(NaSS)) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. We probed the contribution of cell-adhesive glycoproteins fibronectin (Fn) and vitronectin (Vn) in the initial adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to poly(NaSS) functionalized and control Ti6Al4V surfaces. Firstly, culture media containing serum depleted of Fn and Vn (DD) were used to establish the contribution of Fn and Vn in the adhesion and spreading of cells on poly(NaSS) grafted and control surfaces. Compared to ungrafted surfaces, poly(NaSS) grafted surfaces enhanced the levels of cell adhesion, cell spreading and the formation of intracellular actin cytoskeleton and focal contacts in serum treatments where Fn or Vn were present (FBS, DD+Fn, DD+Vn). Cell responses to Fn were more significant than to Vn. Secondly, blocking Fn and Vn integrin receptors using antibodies to α5β1 (Fn) and αvβ1 (Vn) showed that adhesion of cells to poly(NaSS) grafted surfaces principally involved the Fn integrin receptor α5β1. Thirdly, blocking of the heparin and cell-binding regions of Fn molecule (RGD, C-HB, N-HB) showed that grafting with poly(NaSS) altered the conformation of Fn. Together these outcomes explained why the presence of sulfonate (SO3(-)) groups grafted on the Ti6Al4V surface enhanced the early cell adhesion and spreading processes which determine clinical success for applications that require osseointegration.

Statement Of Significance: This study is devoted to the basic analysis of the mechanism at the origin of the improved in vitro and in vivo osteoblast cell responses exhibited by poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (poly(NaSS)) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. The aim was to probe the contribution of cell adhesive glycoproteins fibronectin and vitronectin in the initial adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to poly(NaSS) functionalized Ti6Al4V surfaces. The outcomes of this research explained why the presence of SO3(-) (sulfonate) groups grafted on the Ti6Al4V surface enhanced the early cell adhesion and spreading processes which determine clinical success for applications that require osseointegration. This work is a step further in the research of poly(NaSS), a very promising bioactive polymer with potential to the orthopedic and dental fields.
