| Research Abstract |
Attachment of cells to a biomaterial surface are initiated the protein adsorbed there. When protein adsorption are prevented, cellular attachment must be minimized. Copolymers of methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) have affinity for phospholipids due to the phosphorylcholine polar groups on surface. It has been found that they are useful biomaterials for blood contacting devices as they do not induce platelet activation and blood coagulation.
We realized that MPC surfaces inhibited attachment oh HL-60 cells and moreover they did not promote cytokine production. This result suggested that the MPC surface did not stimulate the cells. On the other hand conventional biomaterials promote accumulation of cytokine in the cells. We could conclude that MPC is very excellent biomaterials which do not give adverse effect on the cells. Further, this evaluation method must be applicable to examine biocompatibility of biomaterials. Another interesting result was fibroblast cell could not attack on the surface coated with MPC copolymers. On the other hand, when the coating was removed by Ne ion injection, they could attach and prolify there. Protein adsorption here was confirmed also.
