Although the advantage of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of titanium plates for the attachment of osteoblast is known, the details of the experimental conditions have not been described in previous literature. We established optimal conditions of UV irradiation of titanium plate for the adhesion of mouse osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. The viable cell number was determined by MTT method. UV irradiation at two different wavelengths (253.7 and 365 nm) enhanced the cell attachment on titanium plate to comparable extents. The optimal UV exposure duration was 20 minutes and prolonged irradiation slightly reduced cell attachment. The attached cells proliferated during 24 hours, accompanied by the enhanced consumption of extracellular glutamine and arginine. The present study supports the previous reports of the efficacy of UV irradiation, and this simple and rapid assay system may be applicable for the study of the interaction of osteoblast and UV-activated titanium plates.
