“…Vinculin expression was not only higher, but also emerged earlier and was concentrated more at the tip of the cellular projections on UV-treated surfaces than on untreated surfaces. In addition, osteoblasts on UV-treated surfaces showed an increase in the area within an individual cell at both the beginning and the end of the cell adhesion period, but no significant increase in density-to-cell area at the end of the cell adhesion period, a result similar to that obtained in our earlier study [16]. This indicates that UV-treatment of titanium surfaces does not directly up-regulate vinculin expression in osteoblasts, but rather results in the formation of focal adhesion patches as cell spread progresses.…”

“…As the confocal microscopic images in this Acta Biomater study show (Fig. 4), cell adhesion was promoted and enhanced on mirror-polished titanium surfaces after UV-treatment in a similar manner to that seen on roughened surfaces in our previous report [16].…”
