Abstract
Effects of histatin-derived peptides immobilization by tresyl chloride-activation technique for MC3T3-E1 cellular responses on titanium (Ti) were evaluated. MC3T3-E1 were cultured on sandblasted and acid-etched Ti disks immobilized with histatin-derived peptides, including histatin-1, JH8194, and mixed histatin-1 with JH8194. Surface topography and cellular morphology were examined using a scanning electron microscope. Elemental composition and conformational peptides on Ti surface were examined using energy dispersive X-ray and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. Cellular adhesion, proliferation, osteogenesis-related genes, and alkaline phosphatase activity were evaluated. The results showed that peptides were successfully immobilized on Ti surface. Cell attachments on histatin-1 and mixed peptides coated groups are higher than control. Histatin-1 achieved the significantly highest cellular proliferation. Histatin-derived peptides improved the osteogenesis related-gene expression and alkaline phosphatase activity (p<0.05). This study suggested that histatin-1 immobilization by tresyl chloride-activation technique enhanced cellular responses and might be able to promote cellular activities around the dental implants.
