However, there still remain many problems in clinical, and they lead to transplant failure, causing from incomplete cell attachment, incomplete osseointegration or bacterial infection. In order to solve the problems and improve the surface properties, in this research we prepared polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) composed of chitosan and poly-glutamic acid on titanium alloy through spin-coating method, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) was further loaded. In vitro study using SD rat bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells was carried out to observe the biological effects. The results showed that the PEM treated surface was well biocompatible. Controlled BMP-2 release reached 5 days. Significant osteogenic differentiation was observed comparing to non-treated group at day14. After 21 day co-culture, we found that the calcium content on PEM group was twice more than non-treat group. The results convinced the facilitated cellular mineralization process. Using polyelectrolyte multilayer to improve the surface property and apply for controlled drug release is of great potential.
