Quantitative proteomic analysis of human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells in response to bioinert implant material titanium and polyetheretherketone

Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are widely used surface-modified implant materials in orthopedics and dental therapeutics. However, there still has not been comprehensive biocompatibility evaluation of them at molecular level. By employing stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), we profiled the dynamic protein expression changes in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells cultured on cpTi and PEEK, respectively. About 2000 proteins were quantified and 400 proteins showed substantial alterations in expression levels upon each material treatment. Notably, the extent of alterations diminished as the contact prolonged, which suggested adaptive response to the bioinert materials. Similar patterns of expression changes were observed for both cpTi and PEEK. The representative pathways reflected the regulation of biosynthesis, metabolism and cell adhesion in the adaptive process. In addition, PEEK showed stronger inhibition on mRNA processing, which explained the lower proliferation rate of the cells cultured on PEEK. Our results indicated that the widely used bioinert materials cpTi and PEEK could individually induce a cooperative response involving a wide panel of proteins and pathways. This study has established a basis for better understanding the biocompatibility of surface-modified implant biomaterials at molecular level.     

3D打印聚醚醚酮在先天性缺牙患者修复中的应用价值

目的:探讨3D打印聚醚醚酮在先天性缺牙患者修复中的应用价值。方法:2013年5月至2019年10月选择在本院诊治的先天性缺牙患者72例,根据随机数字表法把患者分为观察组与对照组各36例。对照组给予传统口腔修复治疗,观察组在对照组治疗的基础上给予3D打印聚醚醚酮修复治疗,记录与随访两组预后情况。结果:所有患者都顺利完成修复,治疗3个月观察组的总有效率为100.0%,显著高于对照组的88.9%(P<0.05)。两组治疗3个月的牙龈指数都低于治疗前,观察组也低于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗后3个月观察组的感染、刺激痛、出血、修复体脱落等并发症发生率为5.6%,显著低于对照组的27.8%(P<0.05)。治疗后3个月与4个月,观察组的美学评分都显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:3D打印聚醚醚酮在先天性缺牙患者修复中的应用能够促进牙周清洁,减少并发症的发生,从而提高临床疗效与美学效果。
