The hypothesis of this work was, that the mineral component of osseous surfaces induces alterations in genes, associated with migration, extracellular matrix and adhesion in osteoblasts. To assess the response of the osteoblasts to mineralized compared to demineralized osseous surfaces, a novel in-vitro model was developed and validated. An enhanced expression of genes associated with extracellular matrix was shown on demineralized surfaces, confirming the hypothesis. Moreover, HMCN1 and NID2 were identified as genes, playing a possible crucial role in osteoblast migration.
