Abstract     The modified sol-gel derived silica coatings were prepared and characterized. The amino and methyl groups were introduced onto the colloidal silica. The silica coatings with different wettability properties: coloidal silica (water contact angle 17degrees), polysiloxane (61degrees), methyl-modified (158degrees and 46degrees) coatings samples were tested for CaCo-2 cells proliferation. Methyl-modified coating (46degrees) proved to be the best substrate for cell proliferation. CaCo-2 cell proliferation two days post seeding was significantly faster on almost laminine, fibronectin and collagen-l coated samples compared to corresponding controls.
