β¦ Synopsis
A homologous set of alkylsilane-modified glass surfaces with chain lengths ranging from methyl to octadecyl was prepared in order to examine the influence of alkyl surface chemistry on macrophage adhesion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation. Contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed our silanation technique and indicated a consistent alkyl chain density independent of chain length. Human peripheral blood monocytes were isolated and cultured on these alkylsilane surfaces for a period of 10 days. The initial density of human monocytes was similar on all surfaces. Beyond day 0 the clean glass, methyl (DM and C1), propyl (C3), and hexyl (C6) surfaces maintained a high cell density and supported macrophage development. In contrast, long-term macrophage density was extremely low on the tetradecyl (C14) and octadecyl (C18) surfaces. When interleukin-4 was added to induce FBGC formation in vitro, the DM, C1, C3, and C6 surfaces supported high levels of macrophage fusion while clean glass strongly inhibited fusion. The C14 and C18 surfaces did not contain sufficient macrophages to support FBGC formation. Cage implant studies revealed that in vivo macrophage density and FBGC formation on clean glass and C6 surfaces was similar to in vitro data. In contrast to the monocyte culture results, the C18 cage implant samples supported significant FBGC formation, possibly as a result of different conditions within each experimental system. Radiotracer adsorption studies of eight human serum proteins identified the high concentration and tenacious hold of adsorbed von Willebrand factor as being possibly involved in the poor long-term macrophage density observed on C14 and C18.
