|---|---|---|---|---|
Tissue harvesting | Tissue attached to implant carefully removed with a curette, preexisting hard tissue discarded | Tissue attached to implant carefully removed with a curette and homogenized | Implants removed by reverse threading and homogenized; cell lysates isolated | Implants removed by reverse threading and homogenized; cell lysates isolated |
Sample preparation | Total RNA isolation, purification, quantity/quality analysis and biotin-labeling | Total RNA isolation, purification, quantity/quality analysis and biotin-labeling | Total RNA isolation, quantification | Total RNA isolation, purification, quantity/quality analysis and biotin-labeling |
Array technique | Microarray hybridization (Human WG-6Â V3) | Microarray hybridization (Human WG-6Â V3) | RT-PCR (custom RT-PCR array for osteogenesis genes; human inflammatory cytokines and receptors PCR array) | Microarray hybridization (Affymetrix Human Gene 1.1 ST) |
Scanning, data preparation | Bead Station 500/Bead Studio v3 software, raw probe expression values extracted | Bead Station 500/ Bead Studio v3 software, raw probe expression values extracted | RT2 SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix/7500 Real-Time PCR system | Affymetrix Gene Chip Scanner |
Processing | Noisy data discarded | Noisy data discarded | Normalization of osteogenesis and cytokine array | Unclear |
Clustering | GO categories (DAVID tool) | GO categories (DAVID tool) | Osteogenesis genes; cytokine-related genes | GO categories (Gene Spring) |
Statistical analysis | Gene Spring software | Gene Spring software | RT2 Profiler software | Gene Spring software |
Comparisons | Pair-wise comparisons between three time points (4 vs. 7Â days, 7 vs. 14Â days, and 4 vs. 14Â days) | Pair-wise comparisons at each time point (4, 7, and 14Â days) between SLA and SLActive surfaces | T-test to evaluate differences between each implant surface per time point | Two-way ANOVAs to determine differences between implant surface type and time points; pair-wise comparisons of each implant surface independently at different time points (day 7 vs. day 3) |
