In the present paper, specific interest has been devoted to the design of new hybrid materials associating Ti–6Al–4V alloy and osteoprogenitor cells through the grafting of two RGD containing peptides displaying a different conformation (linear RGD and cyclo-DfKRG) onto titanium surface. Biomimetic modification was performed by means of a three-step reaction procedure: silanization with APTES, cross-linking with SMP and finally immobilization of peptides thanks to thiol bonding. The whole process was performed in anhydrous conditions to ensure homogeneous biomolecules layout as well as to guarantee a sufficient amount of biomolecules grafted onto surfaces. The efficiency of this new route for biomimetic modification of titanium surface was demonstrated by measuring the adhesion between 1 and 24 h of osteoprogenitor cells isolated from HBMSC. Benefits of the as-proposed method were related to the high concentration of peptides grafted onto the surface (around 20 pmol/mm2) as well as to the capacity of cyclo-DfKRG peptide to interact with integrin receptors. Moreover, High Resolution β-imager (using [35S]-Cys) has exhibited the stability of peptides grafted onto the surface when treated in harsh conditions.
