ABSTRACT
Metal ions are important effectors of protein and cell functions. Here, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) made of chitosan (Chi) and alginate (Alg) were doped with different metal ions (Ca2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Fe3+), which can form bonds with their functional groups. Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions can be deposited in PEM at higher quantities resulting in more positive ζ potentials and also higher water contact angles in the case of Fe3+. An interesting finding was that the exposure of PEM to metal ions decreases the elastic modulus of PEM. Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of multilayers provides evidence of interaction of metal ions with the carboxylic groups of Alg but not for hydroxyl and amino groups. The observed changes in wetting and surface potential are partly related to the increased adhesion and proliferation of multipotent C3H10T1/2 fibroblasts in contrast to plain nonadhesive [Chi/Alg] multilayers. Specifically, PEMs doped with Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions greatly promote cell attachment and adipogenic differentiation, which indicates that changes in not only surface properties but also the bioactivity of metal ions play an important role. In conclusion, metal ion-doped multilayer coatings made of alginate and chitosan can promote the differentiation of multipotent cells on implants without the use of other morphogens like growth factors.
