ABSTRACT: Objectives
Microtextured titanium (Ti) induces osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenous osteogenic factors; and high-energy surface modifications speed healing of microrough Ti implants. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is used clinically to improve peri-implant bone formation and osseointegration but can cause inflammation and bone-related complications. In this study, we determined whether BMP2 alters human MSC differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory factor production when grown on Ti implants with different surface properties.Materials and methods
Human MSCs were cultured on Ti substrates (smooth [PT], sandblasted acid-etched [SLA], hydrophilic-SLA [modSLA]), or tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). After 7 days, inflam
