Abstract

Abstract: Successful osseointegration is essential for dental implants. However, the complete molecular mechanism of osseointegration remains to be elucidated. In this study, we focused on the proteoglycan (PG)-rich layer between titanium oxides (TiOx) and bone, and chondroitin-4-sulfate transferase-1 (C4ST-1), which forms the sugar chain in PGs. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) depleted of C4ST-1 were cultured on titanium (Ti) plates, and the interface between hBMSCs and TiOx was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. Immunotolerance, proliferation, initial adhesion, and calcification of the cells were analyzed in vitro . At 14 days of cultivation, a PG-rich layer was observed between hBMSCs and TiOx. However, the PG-rich layer was reduced in C4ST-1-depleted hBMSCs on TiOx. Real-time RT-PCR showed that conditioned media increased the levels of expression of M1-macrophage markers in human macrophages. However, depletion of C4ST-1 did not affect calcification, cell proliferation, or initial cell adhesion on Ti plates. These results suggested that C4ST-1 in hBMSCs affects their immunotolerance and alters the formation of PG-rich layer formation on TiOx. Graphical abstract: Image, graphical abstract
