Prosthetic devices composed of silicone or polyurethane are commonly used in surgery. These devices elicit a soft tissue reaction which may frequently be complicated by capsule formation. Histologically the capsule comprises both cellular (fibroblasts and endothelial cells (EC)) and matrix components (predominantly collagen type I). We hypothesized that the function of the cellular elements is altered by exposure to prosthetic materials and that this alteration contributes to capsule formation. To test this hypothesis, we utilized specific in vitro assays of cell function (attachment, proliferation, matrix gel contraction), which closely mimic in vivo cellular events, in order to define the responses of EC and fibroblasts to prosthetic surfaces (foam polyurethane, flat silicone, and textured silicone). Morphologic changes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Attachment of both cell types to all prosthetic surfaces was significantly decreased compared to control (HUVEC: control, 55 +/- 1; foam polyurethane, 19 +/- 4*; flat silicone, 25 +/- 3*; textured silicone, 36 +/- 1*; fibroblast: control, 93 +/- 6; foam polyurethane, 21 +/- 4*; flat silicone, 57 +/- 5*; textured silicone, 44 +/- 5* (*P < 0.05 = significant; units, percentage spread)). Fibroblast proliferation was significantly decreased on foam polyurethane (0.1 +/- 0.03*) and textured silicone (0.18 +/- 0.05*), but not on flat silicone (0.79 +/- 0.2; control = 0.96 +/- .2). In contrast, HUVEC proliferation was significantly decreased on both silicone surfaces but not on polyurethane (units, cpm/cell; control, 0.26 +/- 0.05; foam polyurethane, 0.15 +/- 0.05; flat silicone, 0.08 +/- 0.03*; textured silicone, 0.02 +/- 0.01*).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
