Here, α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) granules were modified with peptide containing the marine mussel-derived adhesive sequence, which reacts with α-TCP surface, and cationic sequence, which binds to heparin (α-Ph).α-Ph retained the α-TCP phase and intergranule spaces after the surface modification. The existence of heparin on α-Ph granules was confirmed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Granules of α-TCP and α-Ph were implanted into critical-size defects in rat calvaria for 4 weeks. Micro-computed tomography, histological evaluation, and Alcian blue staining revealed that α-Ph induced superior bone formation compared with α-TCP. Newly formed bone on α-Ph was preferentially in contact with the Alcian blue-stained surfaces of granules. These results suggested that heparinization enhanced the early osteogenic capacity of α-TCP, possibly by modulating the secretion of Alcian blue-stained extracellular matrixes.}, school = {大阪歯科大学}, title = {Surface modification of porous alpha-tricalcium phosphate granules with heparin enhanced their early osteogenic capability in a rat calvarial defect model}, year = {}, yomi = {タケダ, ヨシヒロ} }
