Abstract Aseptic loosening is the primary cause of bone prosthesis failure, commonly attributed to inadequate osseointegration due to coatings misaligned with bone regeneration. Here, we modify the titanium surface with a mussel-inspired peptide to form a 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-rich coating, then graft N 3 -K15-PVGLIG-K23 (P1) and N 3 -Y5-PVGLIG-K23 (P2), which are composed of anti-inflammatory (K23), angiogenic (K15), osteogenic (Y5), and inflammation-responsive (PVGLIG) sequences, onto the surface via click chemistry, forming the DOPA-P1@P2 coating. DOPA-P1@P2 promotes bone regeneration through sequential regulation. In the initial stage, the outermost K23 induces M2 macrophage polarization, establishing a pro-regenerative immune microenvironment. Subsequently, K15 and Y5, exposed by the release of K23, enhance angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In the final stage, DOPA-P1@P2 outperforms the TiO₂ control, showing a 161% increase in maximal push-out force, a 207% increase in bone volume fraction, and a 1409% increase in bone-to-implant contact. These findings show that DOPA-P1@P2 efficiently enhances interfacial osseointegration by sequentially regulating bone regeneration, providing viable insights into coating design.
