Preparation of micro-patterned surfaces of Si-N-O films and their influence on adhesion behavior of endothelial cells

Abstract: Microgrooves were prepared on Si (100) surface by photolithography and wet etching. Subsequently, Si-N-O films were deposited on the microgrooves by unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS) and micro-patterned surfaces of Si-N-O films were obtained. The size of the micropatterns was measured by surface profilometer. The chemical composition of Si-N-O films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) and the wettability of the micropatterned surfaces was evaluated by contact angle measurement.

“…It appears that the 22 mm width on the stripes is smaller than the size scale of the macrophages. Our observation of more favorable cell attachment and increased spreading on the patterned surface of hyaluronic acid/glass and the rhodamine-dextran/hyaluronic acid is consistent with several cell studies on patterned surfaces involving cell lines such as fibroblasts, 44 epithelial cells, 45,46 endothelial cells 47,48 and macrophages. 11,49 This surface-directed cellular adhesion can serve as an excellent method to control inflammatory cell behavior for applications in tissue engineering, biomedical device development as well as diagnostic procedures and therapeutic interventions.…”
