Introduction:

Zirconia (Zr) is also known as a biocompatible material with favorable mechanical properties as well as low plaque

adhesion. In this study, we examined the efficacy of Zr coated with growth and differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) bonded via click

reaction as a substrate to support osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Method & Materials:

Pristine and surface-modified Zr surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), resulting that GDF-5 was successfully coated to the pristine Zr surface. GDF-5 coated to Zr

surfaces was released for 28 days in a sustained manner.

Results:

New bone formation onto GDF-5 coated Zr (Zr/GDF-5) surface was confirmed by in vitro test including cell proliferation,

alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition assays, and in vivo test including real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

assay including osterix (OSX), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx 2), COL 1 (type I collagen) and osteocalcin (OC). Cell

proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium deposition of MC3T3-E1 cells were significantly enhanced when the cells

were cultured on Zr/GDF-5. Additionally, the results of qPCR revealed that genes related with osteogenic differentiation were up

regulated when the cells were cultured on Zr/GDF-5.

Conclusion:

Our findings demonstrate that Zr/GDF-5 could be used as a material for enhancing the efficacy of osteogenic

differentiation.
