Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface characteristics and response of osteoblast-like cell at SLA surface treated with NaOH. Materials and methods: Three kinds of specimens were fabricated for the experiment groups. Control group was a machined surface, SLA group was a conventionally SLA treated surface, and SLA/NaOH gorup was SLA surface treated with NaOH. To evaluate the surface characteristics, the surface elemental composition (XPS), surface roughness and surface contact angle were evaluated in each group. And the cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, cell proliferation and ATP activity of osteoblast-like cells (MG-63 cells) were compared in each group for evaluatation of the cell responses. Statistical comparisons between groups were carried out via one-way ANOVA using the SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA), and then performed multiple comparisons. The differences were considered statistically significant at P<.05. Results: SLA surface treated with NaOH (SLA / NaOH group) was changed to hydrophilic surface. All groups did not show the cytotoxicity to the MG-63. In cell adhesion studies, SLA / NaOH group showed the higher degree of adhesion than anothers (P<.05), Up to 7 days of incubation, the proliferation was showed the increasing tendency in all groups but SLA / NaOH group showed the highest cell proliferation between the three groups (P<.05). At 7 days of incubation, there was no difference in ALP activities between the three groups, but at 14 days, SLA / NaOH group showed significant increase in ALP activities (P<.05). Conclusion: In this study, SLA surface treated with NaOH promoted cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. It means that SLA/NaOH group is possible to promote osseointegration of implants.

Human adipose stem cells are an abundant, readily available population of multipotent progenitor cells that reside in adipose tissue and these cells have characteristics very similar to bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMMSCs). However, liposuction procedure, donor age, body mass index, and harvesting sites might generate differences in the initial cell population and the preparations are a heterogeneous mixture of precursors with different subsets. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the characteristics of human thigh adipose stem cells and the differentiation potential into mesodermal and endodermal lineage. Thigh adipose stem cells maintained fibroblast-like morphology similar to BM-MSCs and they underwent average 56.5 doublings and produced $5{\times}10^{22}$ cells. These cells expressed SCF, Oct4, nanog, vimentin, CK18, FGF5, NCAM, Pax6, BMP4, HNF4a, nestin, GATA4, HLA-ABC, and HLA-DR genes at p3 and they also expressed Oct4, Thy-1, FSP, vWF, vimentin, desmin, CK18, CD54, CD4, CD106, CD31, a-SMA, HLA-ABC proteins. Moreover, they could differentiate into mesodermal lineage cells such as adipocyte, osteoblast and chondrocyte. In addition, they also differentiated into insulin secreting cells in our culture condition. In conclusion, human thigh adipose stem cells retain proliferative potential and expression patterns similar to BM-MSCs and they also differentiate into various cell types. Thus, human thigh adipose stem cells might be useful alternative cell source for clinical application.

Several features of the implant surface, such as roughness, topography, and composition play a relevant role in implant integration with bone. This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of ceramic-coatings on Ti surfaces on the biological responses of a human osteoblast-like cell line (MG63). MG63 cells were cultured on Zr (Zrconium-coated surface), Nb (Niobium-coated surface), and control (Uncoated Titanium) Ti. The morphology of these cells was assessed by SEM. The cDNAs prepared from the total RNAs of the MG63 were hybridized into a human cDNA microarray (1,152 elements). The appearances of the surfaces observed by SEM were different on each of the three dental substrate types. MG63 cells cultured on Zr, Nb and control exhibited cell-matrix interactions. In the expression of several genes were up-, and down-regulated on the different surfaces. The attachment and expression of key osteogenic regulatory genes were enhanced by the surface morphology of the dental materials used.

Functionally gradient porous $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites consist of 3 layers were fabricated using the multi-pass extrusion process at the various temperatures. The continuous pores were homogeneously formed in the $2^{nd}$ passed samples and their size was about $180{\mu}m$ in diameter. In the porous composites sintered at $1200-1400^{\circ}C$, the relative density and bending strength increased with the sintering temperature. The maximum values of relative density and bending strength in the $2^{nd}$ passed $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites were 62.2% and 107.8 MPa, respectively. In order to investigate the growth behavior of osteogenic cells on the functionally gradient porous $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites, an in vitro test was performed, using human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. The cells were well attached and grown on the rough surface of the inside of the functionally gradient porous body.

poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a bacterially derived copolymer produced by fermentation. PHBV has been attractive because of its potential environmental, pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Recently, the electrospinning technique has been used to fabricate fibrous mat for biomedical applications such as artificial blood vessel, drug release and scaffolds, because this method is simple and easy to get ultrafine polymer fibers. Depending on speed of rotation drum collector, fiber structure was different. In this work, PHBV fiber was aligned by electrospinnning machine. Furthermore, alignment of PHBV fiber mats was given angle such as $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$. The morphology of each aligned PHBV fiber mat was observed by SEM technique. The mechanical property was evaluated depending on alignment angle. Especially, cell attachment ability depending on alignment of PHBV fiber mats was carried out using MG- 63 osteoblast like cells.

One of the challenges in tissue engineering is the design of optimal biomedical scaffolds, which can be governed by topographical surface characteristics, such as size, shape, and direction. Of these properties, we focus on the effects of nano - to micro - sized hierarchical surface. To fabricate the hierarchical surface structure on poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) film, we employed a nano/micro-casting technique (NCT) and modified plasma process. The micro size topography of PCL film was controlled by sizes of the micro structures on lotus leaf. Also, the nano-size topography and hydrophilicity of PCL film were controlled by modified plasma process. After the plasma treatment, the hydrophobic property of the PCL film was significantly changed into hydrophilic property, and the nano-sized structure was well developed, as increasing the plasma exposure time and applied power. The surface properties of the modified PCL film were investigated in terms of initial cell morphology, attachment, and proliferation using osteoblast-like-cells (MG63). In particular, initial cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in the hierarchical structure were enhanced dramatically compared to those of the smooth surface.

Calcium-phosphate-based bioceramics are promising biomaterials for scaffolds because they can assist in bone regeneration. In this study, a laser sintering deposition system was developed, and 3D hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were fabricated. The main process conditions of the HA scaffolds were laser power, table velocity, and laser focal distance. As the laser power increased, the line width, line height, and layer thickness also increased. Further, the line width, line height, and layer thickness decreased as the table velocity increased. As the laser focal distance increased, the line width increased, but the line height and layer thickness decreased. The fabricated green scaffolds were sintered at 1050 ℃ and 1150 ℃. The sintered scaffolds had a uniform and continuous interconnected shape, with pore sizes ranging from 850 to 950 ㎛ having 53% porosity. The compressive strength of the scaffolds decreased from 0.72 MPa (1050 ℃) to 0.53 MPa (1150 ℃). The biocompatibility of the scaffolds was investigated by analyzing the adhesion of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells cultured on the surfaces of the scaffolds. The results indicate that the scaffold sintered at 1050 ℃ had good mechanical and biological properties compared to that at 1150 ℃.

In order to investigate the action mechanism of protein kinase C on $K^+$ channel in osteoblastic cell, effects of phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate on human osteoblast-like cells (G292) were studied by patch clamp technique with cell-attacked configuration. 111 this experiment, 45pS ion channel was dominant in G292 cell line according to their approximate conductances in symmetrical 140mM KCl saline at holding potential of 60mV. In torrent-voltage relationship, reversal potential was 5.5mV at the condition of potassium enriched saline in the pipette and -27 mV at the condition of standard extracellular saline In the pipette. Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate 10nM increased the open probability of 45pS channel and staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, suppressed this effect. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate moved the reversal potential of 45pS channel to more negative potential and increased the single channel current at the same membrame potential. In order to check the activation of protein kinase C in G292 cell by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, western blot of protein kinase C was performed. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate $0.1{\mu}M$ translocated protein kinase C from cellular compartment to membrane compartment of the cell. These findings suggest that phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, one of phorbol esters, activate 45pS channel In G292 cell and affect cell membrane potential, that regulate cellular function.

1. 연구 목적 Fibronectin은 세포외기질의 주요성분인 거대 당단백질로서, 조골세포의 부착과 증식 및 이동능에 중요한 역할을 담당한다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 fibronectin의 조골세포에 대한 영향을 실제 임상에 적용하기 위해서, 전체 fibronectin 단백질을 사용하는 것은 면역학적으로나 경제적으로 많은 단점을 안고 있어서, 유효한 반응단위만을 추출하여 활용하는 것이 바람직한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 세포부착에 주로 관여하는 fibronectin type III분절 중 10번 도메인이 조골양 세포에 미치는 영향을 전체 fibronectin단백질과 fibronectin type III 7-10 도메인 분절과 비교, 관찰하는 것이다. 2. 연구 방법 사람의 fibronectin을 기초로 한 적절한 primer로서, 유전자 재조합법을 이용하여 fibronectin type III 10 도메인과 fibronectin type III 7-10 도메인 분절을 얻었으며, 전체 fibronectin분자는 상용으로 준비하여 24-well 세포배양 용기에 도포하였다. 배양된 조골양세포(HOS cell)를 $1x10^5$ cells/well의 농도로 각 well에 분주하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 배양을 하였다. Cell adhesion assay를 실시하기 위해 10% formaldehyde로 고정시키고 1% Crystal Violet으로 염색하여 광학현미경을 관찰 후 2% SDS를 처리하여 microplate reader기를 이용하여 570nm에서 혼탁정도를 측정하였다. 음성대조군으로는 RPMI 용액을 사용하였다. 동일한 방법을 이용하여 준비된 $35mm^2배양접시에 HOS cell을 $37^{\circ}C$에서 4일간 배양 후, MTS assay를 이용하여 세포 증식도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 6일째 405nm에서 활성화된 세포에서 분비된 p-nitrophenol을 이용한 alkaline phosphatase activity를 측정하였다. 3. 결과 및 고찰 Fibronectin type III 10 도메인은 HOS cell에 대한 생물학적인 효과면에서, 전체 fibronectin 분자 및 fibronectin type III 7-10 분절과 통계적으로 유사한 세포부착도를 보여주었으며, 세포증식도와 alkaline phosphatse 활성도면에서도 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 연구결과로 볼 때, fibronectin type III 10 도메인이 조골세포의 증식을 목적으로 사용하는 생체재료의 표면개질 부착물질로 응용할 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 하겠다.
