Effect of β-TCP ceramic on the total protein of osteoblasts

Abstract

The osteoblast with the β-TCP ceramic was co-cultured. Scanning electron microscopy shows the cells adhered onto β-TCP ceramic surface and grew better, proving the β-TCP ceramic has a biocompatible property. The Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 stain shows that the total protein in the experimental groups was highly increased compared with the control group (p<0.05). Flow-cytometric analysis shows that β-TCP ceramic could promote the osteoblast transform from the G0/G1 phase to S phase. Those all demonstrate the product of the degradation of the β-TCP ceramic may take part in the protein metabolism of osteoblast.
