Biomechanical properties of the bone-titanium interface have rarely been studied, due to the technical limitations involved; whether biological bonding mechanisms exist has not been determined. We hypothesized that a selected set of proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan complexes plays a role in establishing the adhesion between bone and titanium, and utilized the rat bone-marrow-derived osteoblastic culture model to gain an insight into the hypothesis. Gene expression of selected proteoglycan core proteins was up-regulated in the osteoblasts cultured on titanium compared with those on polystyrene. Various sulfated glycosaminoglycans were immunochemically localized at mineralized tissue-titanium interfaces. The administration of various glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes into the cultures resulted in a 25-45% reduction of the tissue-titanium interfacial strength, measured by a nanoscratch test; while the hardness and elastic modulus of the mineralized tissue, evaluated by nano-indentation, were not altered. In conclusion, glycosaminoglycan degradation resulted in a decreased interfacial strength between cultured mineralized tissue and titanium, but did not alter the intrinsic strength of the mineralized tissue, suggesting a role for proteoglycan/glycosaminoglycan complexes in the establishment of tissue-titanium adhesion.
