Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) has a wide range of commercial applications and some types are known to be biologically stable. Zinc (Zn) has received attention because it enhances the production of alkaline phosphatase(ALP), which promotes bone calcification. Therefore, we manufactured a DLC that contains Zn (Zn-DLC) and can supply Zn to biological systems, as a potential biomaterial to enhance osteogenesis. We evaluated film crystallinity using Raman spectroscopy and measured the amount of released Zn using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In addition, we evaluated the effects of Zn-DLC on osteogenesis in vitro. Osteoblasts cultured on Zn-DLC tended to show a greater area of calcification than those cultured on DLC, although no significant differences in ALP activity were observed. These results suggested the possibility that osteogenesis could be enhanced by the Zn that is released from Zn-DLC.
