SaOS-2 cell line osteoblastic cells

BC is a good material not only for wound treatment and other fields of veterinary medicine, but also as a scaffold material for cell cultivation in tissue engineering [156,157]. On such scaffolds the fzmb has cultivated the following cell types successfully human osteoblasts, human osteogenic sarcoma cells (SAOS-2), equine osteoblast lines and chondrocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells.

Allen et al. (1994) also reported that DLCs interact well with human osteoblast-like cell line SaOS-2. When they compared the growth of human osteoblasts in both the DLC-coated and uncoated polystyrene plates, they found a similar level of growth observed in both samples, and the osteoblasts adhered well to the DLC samples and produced extensive filopodia when viewed under the scanning electron microscope (AUen et al., 1998). The LDH assay of the osteoblast-like cells also indicated that DLC caused no significant level of cell lysis or toxicity compared with the uncoated samples (Allen et al., 1994).
