Abstract

Among the titanium alloys employed as implant materials, the Ti–6Al–4V alloy is still widely used. Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy samples, in untreated state and subjected to treatments in air by furnace or glow-discharge processes, were put in contact with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in order to evaluate their effects on biocompatibility. In HUVEC kept for 48 h in the presence of the three sample types neither cell proliferation nor protein content nor lactate dehydrogenase release in the culture medium are affected, while apoptosis is induced after 48- and 96-h contact of the cells with the untreated sample type, and after 96-h contact with the plasma treated one, the furnace treated sample type being ineffective. The expression of two adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) was also studied. The incubation of HUVEC with the three sample types for 48 or 96 h induces a significant increase in ICAM-1 protein levels, in comparison with control cells, while VCAM-1 expression is not detectable. In the same way, TNF-alpha release in the culture medium, assayed after 48- and 96-h contact of the cells with the three sample types, is significantly higher, in comparison with control, even if the highest values are registered in the presence of the untreated samples. Taken together, these data indicate that, although Ti–6Al–4V alloy samples, and in particular the treated ones, show a good biocompatibility, attention must be given to the first signs of inflammation.
