We studied osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cell responses on fibronectin (Fn)-coated discs (HAp/α-Al2O3).
Fn adsorption enhanced adhesion and spreading of MC3T3-E1 cells on HAp but not on α-Al2O3.
Fn adsorption hardly affected proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells on HAp and α-Al2O3.
Fn adsorption might stimulate osteoconduction on HAp along with other serum proteins.
