In the present work, RGDS (Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser) was immobilized on PLLA scaffolds with plasma treatment. The amount of immobilization, determined by HPLC, was confirmed to be in the effective order. Results from the culture of rat osteosarcoma (ROS), osteoblastic-like cells, demonstrate that the immobilization of RGDS could effectively enhance the attachment of ROS cells on PLLA and increase the cell density in PLLA scaffolds. In addition, experiments of in vitro mineralization indicate that there were more cells and mineralization focci in the RGDS-immobilized scaffolds, suggesting a tendency to form bone-like tissues, compared with the unmodified PLLA scaffold. On the other hand, the PLLA scaffolds immobilized with RGES (Arg-Gly-Glu-Ser) were much less effective in promotion of ROS attachment, suggesting that the enhancement on cell attachment was mainly due to the recognition of RGDS by the adhesion receptors on the cell membrane. The results presented in this work demonstrate that RGDS could be successfully immobilized on PLLA scaffolds with plasma treatment and such modification can make PLLA scaffolds more suitable for culture of osteoblast-like cells and for generation of bone-like tissues.
