Abstract

The Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is widely employed as an implant material. The effects of Ti-6Al-4V samples, tested in both an untreated state and one in which the samples were subjected to a glow-discharge treatment performed with the use of air, on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were studied. Apoptosis, undetectable after 24-h contact of PBMC with the two sample types, is induced after 48 h by treated samples, and, after 48 h, but in the presence of 1.5 µg/mL PHA, by both sample types. The expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) always increases, in comparison with control, in PBMC put in contact with the two sample types. In the same way, a remarkable increase in tumor necrosis-alpha (TNF-alpha) release in the culture medium is registered, when PBMC are put in contact with the two sample types for 24 and 48 h. Human umbilical-vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cocultured for 48 h with PBMC, previously incubated with the two sample types for 24 h, show an increase in ICAM-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) protein expression in comparison with control (HUVEC cocultured with control PBMC), indicating that inflammatory phenomena might occur. Taken together, these results suggest that, although plasma-treated titanium alloy shows a better biocompatibility in comparison with the untreated one, attention must be paid to the careful control of the first signs of inflammation.
