Abstract
Implants can induce a foreign body reaction that leads to chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the surrounding tissue. Macrophages help detect the foreign material, play a role in the inflammatory response, and may promote fibrosis instead of the desired tissue regeneration around implants. Implant surface properties impact macrophage responses by changing the nature of the adsorbed protein layer, but conflicting studies highlight the complexity of this relationship. In this study, the effect of surface chemistry on macrophage behavior was investigated with poly(styrene) surfaces containing common functional groups at similar surface densities. The protein layer was characterized to identify the proteins that adsorbed on the surfaces from the medium and the proteins secreted onto the surfaces by adherent macrophages. Of the surface chemistries studied, carboxylic acid (COOH) groups promoted anti-inflammatory responses from unstimulated macrophages and did not exacerbate inflammation upon stimulation. These surfaces also enhanced the adsorption of proteins involved in integrin signaling and promoted the secretion of proteins related to angiogenesis, integrin signaling, and cytokine signaling, which have been previously associated with improved biomaterial integration. Therefore, this study suggests that surface modification with COOH groups may help improve the integration of implants in the body by enhancing anti-inflammatory macrophage responses through altered protein adsorption.

Abstract
The foreign body response (FBR) has impaired progress of new implantable medical devices through its hallmark of chronic inflammation and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation leading to fibrous encapsulation. Macrophages are known to drive the FBR, but efforts to control macrophage polarization remain challenging. The goal for this study was to investigate whether prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and specifically its receptors EP2 and/or EP4, attenuate classically activated (i.e., inflammatory) macrophages and macrophage fusion into FBGCs in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in gene expression and protein production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) when treated with PGE2. This attenuation was primarily by the EP4 receptor, as the addition of the EP2 antagonist PF 04418948 to PGE2-treated LPS-stimulated cells did not recover TNF-α production while the EP4 antagonist ONO AE3 208 did. However, direct stimulation of EP2 with the agonist butaprost to LPS-stimulated macrophages resulted in a ∼60% decrease in TNF-α secretion after 4 h and corresponded with an increase in gene expression for Cebpb and Il10, suggesting a polarization shift toward alternative activation through EP2 alone. Further, fusion of macrophages into FBGCs induced by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was inhibited by PGE2 via EP2 signaling and by an EP2 agonist, but not an EP4 agonist. The attenuation by PGE2 was confirmed to be primarily by the EP2 receptor. Mrc1, Dcstamp, and Retlna expressions increased upon IL-4/GM-CSF stimulation, but only Retnla expression with the EP2 agonist returned to levels that were not different from controls. This study identified that PGE2 attenuates classically activated macrophages and macrophage fusion through distinct EP receptors, while targeting EP2 is able to attenuate both. In summary, this study identified EP2 as a potential therapeutic target for reducing the FBR to biomaterials.

Abstract
The human body is endowed with an uncanny ability to distinguish self from foreign. The implantation of a foreign object inside a mammalian host activates complex signaling cascades, which lead to biological encapsulation of the implant. This reaction by the host system to a foreign object is known as foreign body response (FBR). Over the last few decades, it has been increasingly important to have a deeper insight into the mechanisms of FBR is needed to develop biomaterials for better integration with living systems. In the light of recent advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly in the field of biosensors and biodegradable tissue engineering scaffolds, the classical concepts related to the FBR have acquired new dimensions. The aim of this review is to provide a holistic view of the FBR, while critically analyzing the challenges, which need to be addressed in the future to overcome this innate response. In particular, this review discusses the relevant experimental methodology to assess the host response. The role of erosion and degradation behavior on FBR with biodegradable polymers is largely explored. Apart from the discussion on temporal progression of FBR, an emphasis has been given to the design of next-generation biomaterials with favorable host response.

Abstract
Since the local, on demand, cancer therapy is a challenging clinical issue today, this paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of a remotely controlled single reservoir drug delivery chip using Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) actuator. Here, Drug release was externally programmed and controlled wirelessly on demand by a communication circuit. The transmitter and receiver circuits were designed to control the release/sealed status remotely even from 7 cm distance while the transmitter and receiver were coupled magnetically. IPMC here was used as the moving cap of the reservoir, that in release mode, lets the drug out on demand with a low received power of 20 mW. The novel simple design could release the whole content of the drug which is remarkable in comparison with the designs which need complicated optimizations of diffuser, nuzzle and IPMC diaphragm pump, leading to an incomplete release. To make sure that there is no leakage in the sealed mode, IPMC was attached to a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) support film. Biocompatibility of all the components of the chip were tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Abstract
Visualizing the formation of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) from living specimens has been challenging due to the fact that most live imaging techniques require propagation of light through glass, but on glass macrophage fusion is a rare event. This protocol presents the fabrication of several optical-quality glass surfaces where adsorption of compounds containing long-chain hydrocarbons transforms glass into a fusogenic surface. First, preparation of clean glass surfaces as starting material for surface modification is described. Second, a method is provided for the adsorption of compounds containing long-chain hydrocarbons to convert non-fusogenic glass into a fusogenic substrate. Third, this protocol describes fabrication of surface micropatterns that promote a high degree of spatiotemporal control over MGC formation. Finally, fabricating glass bottom dishes is described. Examples of use of this in vitro cell system as a model to study macrophage fusion and MGC formation are shown.

Abstract
Implantation of synthetic material, including vascular grafts, pacemakers, etc. results in the foreign body reaction and the formation of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) at the exterior surface of the implant. Despite the long-standing premise that fusion of mononucleated macrophages results in the formation of MGCs, to date, no published study has shown fusion in context with living specimens. This is due to the fact that optical-quality glass, which is required for the majority of live imaging techniques, does not promote macrophage fusion. Consequently, the morphological changes that macrophages undergo during fusion as well as the mechanisms that govern this process remain ill-defined. In this study, we serendipitously identified a highly fusogenic glass surface and discovered that the capacity to promote fusion was due to oleamide contamination. When adsorbed on glass, oleamide and other molecules that contain long-chain hydrocarbons promoted high levels of macrophage fusion. Adhesion, an essential step for macrophage fusion, was apparently mediated by Mac-1 integrin (CD11b/CD18, αMβ2) as determined by single cell force spectroscopy and adhesion assays. Micropatterned glass further increased fusion and enabled a remarkable degree of spatiotemporal control over MGC formation. Using these surfaces, we reveal the kinetics that govern MGC formation in vitro. We anticipate that the spatiotemporal control afforded by these surfaces will expedite studies designed to identify the mechanism(s) of macrophage fusion and MGC formation with implication for the design of novel biomaterials.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a major human health threat that infects one in three individuals worldwide. Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a standoff between host and bacteria in the formation of a granuloma. This review will introduce a variety of bacterial and host factors that impact individual granuloma fates. The authors describe advances in the development of in vitro granuloma models, current evidence surrounding infection and granuloma development, and the applicability of existing in vitro models in the study of human disease. In vitro models of infection help improve our understanding of pathophysiology and allow for the discovery of other potential models of study.

Abstract
Bioabsorbable magnesium alloys are becoming prominent as temporary functional implants, as they avoid the risks generated by permanent metallic implants such as persistent inflammation and late restenosis. Nevertheless, the overfast corrosion of Mg alloys under physiological conditions hinders their wider application as medical implant materials. Here we investigate a simple one-step process to introduce a cross-linked 3-amino-propyltrimethoxysilane (APTES) silane physical barrier layer on the surface of Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloys prior to electrostatic spraying with rapamycin-eluting poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) layer. Surface microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Nanoscratch test verified the superior adhesion strength of PLGA coating in the group pretreated with APTES. Electrochemical tests combined with long-term immersion results suggested that the preferable in vitro anticorrosion behavior could be achieved by dense APTES barrier. Cell morphology and proliferation data demonstrated that APTES pretreated group resulted in remarkably preferable compatibility for both human umbilical vein endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. On the basis of excellent in vitro mechenical property, the animal study on the APTES pretreated Mg-Zn-Y-Nd stent implanted into porcine coronary arteries confirmed benign tissue compatibility as well as re-endothelialization without thrombogenesis or in-stent restenosis at six-month followup.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory reactions hamper the use of biomaterials after implantation. Thus, the aim of the study was to develop a novel predictive in vitro macrophage/fibroblast co-culture model based on cell migration chambers that allows a timely and locally controlled interaction of both cell types to study the inflammatory responses of biomaterials in vitro. Here, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with different wettability and charge properties were used as model biomaterials on which co-cultures were established by use of fence chambers having internal and external compartments. This allowed establishing separated and mixed co-cultures of both cell types before and after removal of the chamber, respectively. The key advantages of this novel co-culture model included not only to establish a timely-resolved study of cytokine release, but also the ability to assess individual macrophage migration in both macrophage mono-cultures and co-cultures. All inflammatory reactions in terms of macrophage adhesion, macrophage migration, foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation, β1 integrin expression and pro-inflammatory cytokine production were found strongly surface property dependent. The results show that the hydrophobic CH3 surface caused the strongest inflammatory reactions, whereas the hydrophilic/anionic COOH surface caused the least inflammatory response, indicating low and high biocompatibility of the surfaces, respectively. Most importantly, we found that both macrophage motility and directional movement were increased in the presence of fibroblasts in co-cultures compared with macrophage mono-cultures. Overall, the novel co-culture system provides access to a range of parameters for studying inflammatory reactions and reveals how material surface properties affect the inflammatory responses.

Abstract
All biomedical materials are recognized as foreign entities by the host immune system despite the substantial range of different materials that have been developed by material scientists and engineers. Hydrophobic biomaterials, hydrogels, biomaterials with low protein binding surfaces, and those that readily adsorb a protein layer all seem to incite similar host responses in vivo that may differ in magnitude, but ultimately result in encapsulation by fibrotic tissue. The recognition of medical materials by the host is explained by the very intricate pattern recognition system made up of integrins, toll-like receptors, scavenger receptors, and other surface proteins that enable leukocytes to perceive almost any foreign body. In this review, we describe the various pattern recognition receptors and processes that occur on biomedical material surfaces that permit detection of a range of materials within the host.

Abstract
Although AL amyloidosis usually is a systemic disease, strictly localized AL deposits are not exceptionally rare. Such case reports form a considerable body of published articles. Although both AL amyloidosis types are formed from an N-terminal segment of a monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain, a typical localized AL amyloid differs from the systemic counterpart by the morphological appearance of the amyloid, and presence of clonal plasma cells and of giant cells. In this article it is pointed out that localized AL amyloidosis ('amyloidoma') represents a true plasma cell neoplasm and not a pseudotumor. The pathogenesis of localized AL amyloidosis may differ from that of the systemic type, a suggestion underlined by the fact that localized AL amyloidosis of kappa type is as common as that of lambda origin, in contrast to the systemic form where lambda chains constitute the overwhelming majority of cases. It is suggested that oligomeric assemblies of the produced immunoglobulin light chain are toxic to plasma cells, which in this way commit suicide.

Abstract
Adherent macrophages and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) are known to release degradative molecules that can be detrimental to the long-term biostability of polyurethanes. The modification of polyurethanes using surface modifying endgroups (SMEs) and/or the incorporation of silicone into the polyurethane soft segments may alter macrophage adhesion, fusion and apoptosis resulting in improved long-term biostability. An in vitro study of macrophage adhesion, fusion and apoptosis was performed on polyurethanes modified with fluorocarbon SMEs, polyethylene oxide (PEO) SMEs, or poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) co-soft segment and SMEs. The fluorocarbon SME and PEO SME modifications were shown to have no effect on macrophage adhesion and activity, while silicone modification had varied effects. Macrophages were capable of adapting to the surface and adhering in a similar manner to the silicone-modified and unmodified polyurethanes. In the absence of IL-4, macrophage fusion was comparable on the modified and unmodified polyurethanes, while macrophage apoptosis was promoted on the silicone modified surfaces. In contrast, when exposed to IL-4, a cytokine known to induce FBGC formation, silicone modification resulted in more macrophage fusion to form foreign body giant cells. In conclusion, fluorocarbon SME and PEO SME modification does not affect macrophage adhesion, fusion and apoptosis, while silicone modification is capable of mediating macrophage fusion and apoptosis. Silicone modification may be utilized to direct the fate of adherent macrophages towards FBGC formation or cell death through apoptosis.

Abstract
The effects of an amphiphilic polymer coating of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) on immunoglobulin adsorption and leukocyte adhesion were investigated. Forty patients were operated on using noncoated and PMEA-coated oxygenator fibers; leukocyte counts adhered onto the noncoated and coated fibers. It appears that the adsorbed immunoglobulin on noncoated fiber surfaces plays a role in leukocyte adhesion and complement activation by an alternative pathway, while the PMEA coating reduced the complement activation on the oxygenator hollow fibers. The biomaterial and blood interaction at the interface could potentially be used as an indicator for predicting the artificial devices long-term clinical performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ventricular catheter drainage holes of shunt systems used to treat hydrocephalus obstruct with tissue commonly comprising monocytes/macrophages, astrocytes, and giant cells. Despite high rates of obstruction, very few studies have manipulated drainage hole orientation, number, position, or diameter. By altering the hole diameter but maintaining a constant hole surface area, we manipulated shear stress through the holes, which we hypothesized would change the degree of macrophage and astrocyte attachment. METHODS First, a hole fabrication method was chosen from two fabrication techniques including punched holes in catheter tubing and constructed holes using nanofabrication techniques. RESULTS Punched holes were chosen to vary hole size from 282 to 975 μm because (1) samples were geometrically similar to commercially available ventricular catheters without significant microscopic differences in roughness values and (2) total macrophage and astrocyte adhesion on the punched holes was not significantly different from adhesion on the commercially available catheters. Overall adhesion from least to most adherent appeared to follow 975 < 754 ≈ 500 < 282-μm hole diameter for macrophages and 975 < 500 < 754 < 282 for astrocytes with an obvious dependency on catheter orientation with respect to the horizontal; a dependency to the proximity of the hole to the catheter tip was not observed. CONCLUSION This study suggests that macrophage and astrocyte adhesion generally decreases with increasing hole diameter under flow conditions and underscores the necessity for future work to examine how hole diameter impacts inflammatory-based shunt obstruction.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the micronature of the organization of water molecules on the flat surface of well-ordered self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 18-carbon alkanethiolate chains bound to a silicon (111) substrate. Six different headgroups (-CH(3), -C═C, -OCH(3), -CN, -NH(2), -COOH) are used to tune the character of the surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, while the level of hydration is consistent on all six SAM surfaces. Quantum mechanics calculations are employed to optimize each alkyl chain of the different SAMs with one water molecule and to investigate changes in the configuration of each headgroup under hydration. We report the changes of the structure of the six SAMs with different surfaces in the presence of water, and the area of the wetted surface of each SAM, depending on the terminal group. Our results suggest that a corrugated and hydrophobic surface will be formed if the headgroups of SAM surface are not able to form H-bonds either with water molecules or between adjacent groups. In contrast, the formation of hydrogen bonds not only among polar heads but also between polar heads and water may enhance the SAM surface hydrophilicity and corrugation. We explicitly discuss the micromechanisms for the hydration of three hydrophilic SAM (CN-, NH(2)- and COOH-terminated) surfaces, which is helpful to superhydrophilic surface design of SAM in biomimetic materials.

Abstract
Surface topography modulates macrophage expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines through triggering of a number of different signaling pathways. In this article, we investigated the early activation of the NFκB pathway in RAW 264.7 macrophages in response to four surface topographies: mechanically polished (PO), coarse sand blasted (CB), acid etched (AE), and sandblasted and acid etched (SLA). We found that activation of the NFκB pathway was topography dependent. The PO and CB surfaces showed the highest level of activation, followed by the AE, then the SLA. Addition of suboptimal stimulatory concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced the response. Second, we determined that topography dependent cell signaling occurred in the absence of fetal bovine sera in the media. Third, we demonstrated that disruption of the lipid rafts by removal of cholesterol from cells in suspension using methyl β cyclodextrin (MβCD) affected signaling through the NFκB pathway and transcription of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 β, but did not affect cell adhesion, spreading or morphology. The number of macrophages adhered to the surfaces after 30 min followed the order PO, CB, AE, and SLA. In conclusion, our study suggests that one mechanism by which surface topography modulates activation of the NFκB pathway is through cholesterol-enriched raft-associated adhesive/signaling structures.

Abstract
The formation of surface-damaging foreign body giant cells (FBGC) from the fusion of macrophages is considered a hallmark of the foreign body response. Experimental evidence indicates that when macrophages are unable to internalize foreign bodies via phagocytosis due to their large size, they acquire a fusogenic phenotype. The mechanism behind this transformation is unclear, and questions, such as which phenotype takes precedence for co-stimulated macrophages engaged in the foreign body response and whether or not such phenotypic alteration is graded, remain unanswered. By recapitulating fusion in vitro using cell lines and primary mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages, we investigated whether concurrent exposure of macrophages to phagocytic and fusogenic stimuli would limit fusion. Induction of phagocytosis by addition of 3.0 mum-diameter polystyrene microspheres to cells under fusogenic conditions, at ratios of 1:10, 1:1, and 10:1 did not prevent fusion. To determine the effect of microsphere phagocytosis on fusion in vivo, we first determined the kinetics of monocyte recruitment, surface adhesion, and fusion following intraperitoneal implantation of a foreign body in a mouse model. Concomitant or subsequent injection of microspheres resulted in their significant accumulation at the biomaterial surface at 2 weeks, but FBGC were still detected. Our findings indicate that despite increasing the abundance of a phagocytic stimulus (microspheres), significant FBGC formation occurs.

Abstract
Chemically defined surfaces were created using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of hydrophobic and hydrophilic silanes as models for implant coatings, and the morphology and physiology of cardiac myocytes plated on these surfaces were studied in vitro. We focused on changes in intracellular Ca(2+) because of its essential role in regulating heart cell function. The SAM-modified coverslips were analyzed using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to verify composition. The morphology and physiology of the cardiac cells were examined using fluorescence microscopy and intracellular Ca(2+) imaging. The imaging experiments used the fluorescent ratiometric dye fura-2, AM to establish both the resting Ca(2+) concentration and the dynamic responses to electrical stimulation. A significant difference in excitation-induced Ca(2+) changes on the different silanated surfaces was observed. However, no significant change was noted based on the morphological analysis. This result implies a difference in internal Ca(2+) dynamics, and thus cardiac function, occurs when the composition of the surface is different, and this effect is independent of cellular morphology. This finding has implications for histological examination of tissues surrounding implants, the choice of materials that could be beneficial as implant coatings and understanding of cell-surface interactions in cardiac systems.

Abstract
Extensive prolonged interactions of inflammatory cells (such as macrophages) at the host-implant interface may lead to implant failure. While previous studies have shown increased in vitro and in vivo bone cell adhesion, proliferation and mineralization on nanophase compared to currently implanted ceramics, few studies have been conducted to elucidate inflammatory cell responses on such nanophase ceramics. Controlling surface feature size and corresponding surface roughness on implants may clearly alter immune cell responses, which would be an extremely important consideration for the use of nanostructured materials as improved biomaterials. In this study, reduced macrophage density was observed on alumina (Al(2)O(3)) compacts with greater nanometer surface roughness accompanied by changes in crystallinity for up to 24 h in culture. Since alumina is a commonly used ceramic in orthopedic applications, this in vitro study continues to support the use of nanophase ceramics as improved orthopedic implants by demonstrating reduced macrophage responses.

Abstract
To further elucidate the foreign body reaction, investigation of cytokines at biomaterial implant sites was carried out using a multiplex immunoassay and ELISA. Macrophage activation cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNFalpha), cytokines important for macrophage fusion (IL-4 and IL-13), antiinflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and TGFbeta), chemokines (GRO/KC, MCP-1), and the T-cell activation cytokine IL-2 were quantified at biomaterial implant sites. Empty cages (controls) or cages containing synthetic biomedical polymer (Elasthane 80A (PEU), silicone rubber (SR), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) were implanted subcutaneously in Sprague-Dawley rats for 4, 7, or 14 days, and cytokines in exudate supernatants and macrophage surface adhesion and fusion were quantified. The presence of a polymer implant did not affect the levels of IL-1beta, TGFbeta, and MCP-1 in comparison to the control group. IL-2 was not virtually detected in any of the samples. Although the levels of IL-4, IL-13, IL-10, and GRO/KC were affected by polymer implantation, but not dependent on a specific polymer, IL-6 and TNFalpha were significantly greater in those animals implanted with PEU and SR, materials that do not promote fusion. The results indicate that differential material-dependent cytokine profiles are produced by surface adherent macrophages and foreign body giant cells in vivo.

Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSCs) cultured on glass surfaces modified by different chemical groups, including hydroxyl (-OH), sulfonic (-SO3H), amino (-NH2), carboxyl (-COOH), mercapto (-SH) and methyl (-CH3) groups, are shown here to commit to phonotypes with extreme sensitivity to surface chemical groups. The adhering NSCs at the level of single cells exhibited morphological changes in response to different chemical groups. NSCs on -SO(3)H surfaces had the largest contact area and the most flattened morphology, while those on -CH(3) surfaces exhibited the smallest contact area and the most rounded morphology. After 5 days of culture, the migration of NSCs from their original aggregates onto these test surfaces followed the trend: -NH2>-COOH=-SH>>-SO3H>-CH3>-OH. The expression of specific markers, including nestin, beta-Tubulin-III, glial fibrillary acidic protein and O4, were used to examine NSCs lineage specification. The -SO3H surfaces favored NSCs differentiation into oligodendrocytes, while NSCs in contact with -COOH, -NH2, -SH and -CH3 had the ability to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Compared to -COOH surfaces, -NH2 seemed to promote neuronal differentiation. These chemically modified surfaces exhibited regulation of NSCs on adhesion, migration and differentiation potential, providing chemical means for the design of biomaterials to direct NSCs lineage specification for neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
By adapting microfabrication techniques originally developed in the microelectronics industry novel devices for drug delivery, tissue engineering and biosensing have been engineered for in vivo use. Implant microfabrication uses a broad range of techniques including photolithography, and micromachining to create devices with features ranging from 0.1 to hundreds of microns with high aspect ratios and precise features. Microfabrication offers device feature scale that is relevant to the tissues and cells to which they are applied, as well as offering ease of en masse fabrication, small device size, and facile incorporation of integrated circuit technology. Utilizing these methods, drug delivery applications have been developed for in vivo use through many delivery routes including intravenous, oral, and transdermal. Additionally, novel microfabricated tissue engineering approaches propose therapies for the cardiovascular, orthopedic, and ocular systems, among others. Biosensing devices have been designed to detect a variety of analytes and conditions in vivo through both enzymatic-electrochemical reactions and sensor displacement through mechanical loading. Overall, the impact of microfabricated devices has had an impact over a broad range of therapies and tissues. This review addresses many of these devices and highlights their fabrication as well as discusses materials relevant to microfabrication techniques.

Abstract
An in vitro system of interleukin (IL)-4-induced foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation was utilized to define the adhesion protein substrate(s) that promotes this aspect of the foreign body reaction on biomedical polymers. Human monocytes were cultured on cell culture polystyrene surfaces that had been pre-adsorbed with a synthetic arginine-glycine-aspartate peptide previously found to support optimal FBGC formation, or with various concentrations of potential physiological protein substrates, i.e. complement C3bi, collagen types I or IV, fibrinogen, plasma fibronectin, fibroblast fibronectin, laminin, thrombospondin, vitronectin, or von Willebrand factor. Cultures were evaluated on days 0 (1.5 h), 3, and 7 by May-Grünwald/Giemsa staining. Initial monocyte adhesion occurred on all adsorbed proteins. However, by day 7 of culture, only vitronectin was striking in its ability to support significant macrophage adhesion, development, and fusion leading to FBGC formation. Vitronectin supported high degrees of FBGC formation at an absorption concentration between 5 and 25 microg/mL. These findings suggest that adsorbed vitronectin is critical in the collective events that support and promote FBGC formation on biomedical polymers, and that the propensity for vitronectin adsorption may underlie the material surface chemistry dependency of FBGC formation.

Abstract
The increasing use of micro- and nanostructured silicon-based devices for in vivo therapeutic or sensing applications highlights the importance of understanding the immunogenicity of these surfaces. Four silicon surfaces (nanoporous, microstructured, nanochanneled, and flat) were studied for their ability to provoke an immune response in human blood derived monocytes. The monocytes were incubated with the surfaces for 48 h and the immunogenicity was evaluated based on the viability, shape factors, and cytokine expression. Free radical oxygen formation was measured at 18 h to elicit a possible mechanism invoking immunogenicity. Although no cytokines were significantly different comparing the response of monocytes on the tissue culture polystyrene surfaces to those on the micropeaked surfaces, on average all cytokines were elevated on the micropeaked surface. The monocytes on the nanoporous surface also displayed an elevated cytokine response, overall, but not to the degree of those on the micropeaked surface. The nanochanneled surface response was similar to that of flat silicon. Overall, the immunogenicity and biocompatibility of flat, nanochanneled, and nanoporous silicon toward human monocytes are approximately equivalent to tissue culture polystyrene.

Abstract
Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) and multinucleated foreign body giant cells (FBGC) are the primary cell types that remain at the cell-material interface of polyurethane (PU)-based medical devices as a result of chronic inflammatory responses. In vitro studies have demonstrated that MDM possess degradative potential toward PU, which can result in device failure. Because most studies have followed the degradation potential, morphology, and function of these cells only once fully differentiated, the current study investigated the influence of a non-degradable control tissue culture-grade polystyrene (TCPS) surface relative to two degradable model polycarbonate-urethanes (PCNU), of different chemistry, on various parameters of MDM morphology and function during a 14-day differentiation time course. The differentiation of human monocytes isolated from whole blood on PCNU materials resulted in increased cell attachment, decreased multinucleation, and significant decreases in cell spreading when compared with cells differentiated on TCPS. Actin-stained podosome-like cell adhesion structures were increased in PCNU-adherent cells, accompanied by an alteration in beta-actin and vinculin protein expression. The expression of the CD68 macrophage marker was reduced when cells were adherent to the PCNU materials and compared with TCPS, suggesting altered cell activation by the degradable relative to non-degradable materials. The degradative potential of these cells was altered by the material surface they were exposed to as measured by esterase activity and protein expression of monocyte-specific esterase. This was also supported by physical material breakdown evident in scanning electron microscopy images that illustrated holes in the PCNU films generated by the presence of differentiating MDM. It was concluded from these studies that PCNU materials significantly alter the function and morphology of differentiating MDM. This must be taken into consideration when studying cell-material interactions because these cells will receive cues from their immediate environment (including the biomaterial) upon differentiation, thereby affecting their resulting phenotype.

Abstract
Multinucleated giant cells, characteristic of granulomatous infections, originate from fusion of macrophages, however, little is known about the underlying mechanism. Alternative activation of macrophages by exposure to IL-4 and IL-13 induces macrophage homokaryon formation. We have established a new quantitative bifluorescent system to study IL-4-induced fusion of primary murine macrophages in vitro. Using this assay, we could show that macrophage fusion is not mediated by a single molecule, but involves multiple functional components. Although several murine macrophage populations were not competent to form giant cells, indicating that they fail to display the full fusion machinery, these non-fusogenic macrophages could fuse with fusion-competent macrophages in a heterophilic manner. Since IL-4 induced molecules were needed on both fusion partners, we conclude that at least two functionally distinct molecules mediate macrophage homokaryon formation with each present on one fusion partner. In addition, though IL-4 treatment led to induction of a fusogenic status, macrophages could only fuse efficiently when adherent to a permissive substratum. Based on our findings, we conclude that macrophage fusion is a multistage process involving multiple target molecules. The model we describe will allow analysis of the molecular basis of membrane fusion and possible insight into alternative activation of macrophages.

Abstract
During tuberculosis (TB) infection, the granuloma provides the microenvironment in which antigen-specific T cells colocate with and activate infected macrophages to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although the granuloma is the site for mycobacterial killing, virulent mycobacteria have developed a variety of mechanisms to resist this macrophage-mediated killing. These surviving mycobacteria become dormant, however, if host cellular immunity or the signals maintaining granuloma structure wane, or if mycobacteria resume replication, leading to reactivation of TB. This balance of life and death applies not only to the mycobacterium but also to the host macrophages that may undergo apoptosis or necrosis, leading to the characteristic caseous necrosis within the granuloma, and the potential spread of TB infection. The immunological factors controlling the development and maintenance of the granuloma will be reviewed.

Abstract
As beta1 and beta2 integrins were previously found to mediate adhesion during IL-4-induced foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation, we pursued the identities of the alpha integrin partners of these adhesion receptors using our in vitro system of human monocyte-derived macrophage fusion. Immunoprecipitation with beta1 and immunoblotting reveal the presence of alpha5 and alphaV, as well as alpha2 and alpha3. alphaM and alphaX immunoprecipitate with beta2 but not with beta1. Immunocytochemistry coupled with confocal microscopy indicates that alpha5 and alphaX are poorly expressed on day 0. However, following the induction of fusion by IL-4 on day 3, they are each readily detectable in fusing macrophages/FBGC on day 7. In contrast, alphaM and alphaV are present throughout the culture period, with very strong alphaM expression on day 7. We also demonstrate expression and colocalization of alpha3, alpha5, or alphaV with beta1 on fusing macrophages/FBGC at this time point as well as strong colocalization of alphaM and alphaX with beta2 in FBGC and at fusion interfaces. Therefore, IL-4-induced FBGC are characterized by the expression of alphaMbeta2, alphaXbeta2, alpha5beta1, alphaVbeta1, alpha2beta1, and alpha3beta1, which indicates potential interactions with fragments of complement C3, fibrin(ogen), fibronectin, Factor X, and vitronectin, and possibly with certain collagens, laminin, and thrombospondin at sites of biomaterial implantation.

Abstract
Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are key inflammatory cells and are central to the foreign body response to implant materials. MDM have been shown to exhibit changes in actin cytoskeleton, multinucleation, cell size, and function in response to small alterations in polycarbonate-urethane (PCNU) surface chemistry. Although PCNU chemistry has an influence on de novo protein synthesis, no assessments of the protein expression profiles of MDM have yet been reported. The rapid emerging field of expression proteomics facilitates the study of changes in cellular protein profiles in response to their microenvironment. The current study applied proteomic techniques, 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with MALDI-ToF (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) mass spectrometry, to determine differences in MDM protein expression influenced by PCNU. Results indicated that MDM responded to material chemistry by modulation of structural proteins (i.e. actin, vimentin, and tubulin). Additionally, intracellular protein modulation which requires proteins responsible for trafficking (i.e. chaperone proteins) and protein structure modification (i.e. bond rearrangement and protein folding) were also altered. This study demonstrated for the first time that a proteomics approach was able to detect protein expression profile changes in MDM cultured on different material surfaces, forming the basis for utilizing further quantitative proteomics techniques that could assist in elucidation of the mechanisms involved in MDM-material interaction.

Abstract
The behaviour of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) when cultured in contact with a range of silane-modified surfaces was examined to determine if changing the surface chemistry affected the early differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro over a 7-day period. Cells were cultured for 1 and 7 days in direct contact with glass which had been functionalized by surface treatment to provide a range of different surfaces: -CH(3), -NH(2), -SH, -OH, and -COOH modified surfaces and a clean glass reference (TAAB). Viable cell adhesion was quantified by Lactate Dehydrogenase assay, and morphology and viability was qualitatively evaluated using calcein AM, ethidium homodimer, cytoskeletal (F Actin), extra-cellular matrix (fibronectin and vitronectin) and Hoechst staining (nucleus). The expression of selected differentiation markers, Collagen II (chondrocytes), CBFA1 (bone transcription factor), Collagen I (MSC marker) and TGF-beta3 (extra-cellular matrix production) was determined using real time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of ornithine decarboxylase was evaluated as a marker of proliferation. Surfaces of the -NH(2) group demonstrated the greatest level of cell adhesion by the 7-day period, and mRNA expression profiles indicated osteogenic differentiation, increased CBFA1 and decreased Collagen II expression. Cells cultured in contact with the -COOH surfaces displayed different cell morphologies, fibronectin and vitronectin spatial distributions compared with the cells in contact with the -NH(2) surfaces, in addition to an increase in Collagen II expression, indicative of chondrogenic differentiation. The modifications to the surface chemistry of glass did affect cell behaviour, both in terms of viable cell adhesion, morphology and profiles of mRNA expression, providing the means to alter the differentiation potential of the MSCs.

Abstract
Previous studies reported on the delivery of vitamin E to the surface of a polycarbonate polyurethane (PCNU) to produce antioxidant surfaces, using a bioactive fluorinated surface modifer (BFSM). In the current report, a cell adhesive peptide sequence was coupled to the BFSM, and when blended into PCNU, generated a cell adhesive substrate. An NH2-GK*GRGD-CONH2 peptide sequence (referred to as RGD) with a dansyl label (*) on the lysine residue was coupled via the N-terminal to a BFSM precursor molecule. The resulting RGD BFSM was purified and the pmol peptide/mg BFSM value was assayed by amino acid quantification. The migration of the RGD BFSM in a PCNU blend was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. U937 macrophage-like cells and human monocytes were seeded onto the PCNU and blends of PCNU with non-bioactive fluorinated surface modifier or the RGD BFSM, in order to study the cell response. Both U937 cells and human monocytes adhered in greater numbers to the RGD BFSM substrate when compared to unmodified PCNU or the blend of PCNU with the non-bioactive fluorinated surface modifying macromolecule substrate. The study demonstrated a novel approach for the introduction of peptides onto the surface of polymers by modifying the surface from within the polymer as opposed to the use of cumbersome post-surface modification techniques. The generation of a peptide substrate points to the possibility of producing complex bioactive surfaces using various peptide BFSMs or pharmaceuticals simultaneously to manipulate cell functions.

Abstract
To determine the effect of biomaterial surface chemistry on leukocyte interaction and activity at the material/tissue interface, human peripheral blood monocytes and lymphocytes were cultured on a series of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-based biomaterials. Both monocytes and lymphocytes were isolated from whole human blood and separated by a nonadherent density centrifugation method before being plated on PET disks, surface modified by photograft copolymerization to yield hydrophobic, hydrophilic, anionic, and cationic surface properties. Monocytes and lymphocytes were cultured separately, to elicit baseline levels of activity, in direct coculture, to promote direct cell surface interactions, or in an indirect coculture system with both cell types separated by a -0.02-microm Transwell apparatus, to promote indirect paracrine interactions. Monocyte adhesion, macrophage fusion, and lymphocyte proliferation were measured on days 3, 7, 10, and 14 of culture. Results demonstrated that the presence of monocytes increased the activity of cocultured lymphocytes at the biomaterial/tissue interface, while the corresponding presence of lymphocytes increased the activation and fusion of indirectly cocultured monocytes. Biomaterial surface chemistry was also found to have a significant effect on monocyte adhesion and activation, and lymphocyte activity. Hydrophilic surfaces significantly inhibited both initial and longterm monocyte adhesion, and inhibited lymphocyte proliferation at longer time points. Anionic and cationic surfaces both exhibited mild inhibition of monocyte adhesion at prolonged time points and increased levels of macrophage fusion, while cationic surfaces decreased levels of lymphocyte proliferation and inhibited monocyte activity. These results elucidate the complex role of juxtacrine and paracrine interactions between monocytes and lymphocytes in the foreign body response, as well as promote the consideration of hydrophilic surfaces in future designs of implantable biomedical devices and prostheses.

Abstract
Surface chemistry modulates many critical functions of monocyte/macrophages such as adhesion, fusion, spreading, phagocytosis, and secretion. In this study, we investigated the effect of silicone modification on adhesive structure development and cytoskeletal reorganization of adherent macrophages on polyurethanes. Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) was used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of cytoskeletal reorganization of adherent macrophages. Data presented here showed less spreading for adherent cells on silicone-modified materials due to the higher hydrophobicity and protein adsorption profile. This decrease in spreading was accompanied by less F-actin content in adherent cells on silicone-modified polyurethanes and PDMS control, indicating that silicone modification reduces the strength of adhesion. With the addition of interleukin-4 (IL-4) at days 3 and 7 to our culture, adherent cell morphology dramatically changed. The change in morphology led to higher macrophage fusion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation on silicone modified materials after 10 days. In addition, mannose receptor (MR) expression was up-regulated on the silicone-modified polyurethanes and PDMS control in the presence of IL-4. Up-regulation of MR expression suggests an alternatively activated phenotype for adherent macrophages, which is accompanied with an attenuated proinflammatory cytokine production and reactive oxygen secretion. It appears that silicone modification accelerates acquisition of an alternative macrophage and FBGC phenotype, which may then result in increased polyurethane biostability.

Abstract
Biological events occurring at the implant-host interface, including protein adsorption are mainly influenced by surface properties of the implant. Titanium alloys, one of the most widely used implants, has shown good biocompatibility primarily through its surface oxide. In this study, a surface sol-gel process based on the surface reaction of metal alkoxides with a hydroxylated surface was used to prepare ultrathin titanium oxide (TiOx) coatings on silicon wafers. The oxide deposited on the surface was then modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of silanes with different functional groups. Interesting surface morphology trends and protein adhesion properties of the modified titanium oxide surfaces were observed as studied by non-specific protein binding of serum albumin. The surface properties were investigated systematically using water contact angle, ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Results showed that the surface sol-gel process predominantly formed homogeneous, but rough and porous titanium oxide layers. The protein adsorption was dependent primarily on the silane chemistry, packing of the alkyl chains (extent of van der Waals interaction), morphology (porosity and roughness), and wettability of the sol-gel oxide. Comparison was made with a thermally evaporated TiOx-Ti/Si-wafer substrate (control). This method further extends the functionalization of surface sol-gel derived TiOx layers for possible titanium alloy bioimplant surface modification.

Abstract
The macrophage has a major role in normal wound healing and the reparative process around implants. Murine macrophage-like cells RAW 264.7 were used to investigate the effect of titanium surfaces on macrophage activation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha] and chemokines (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha). Four topographies were used: those produced by mechanically polishing, coarse sand blasting, acid etching, and sandblasting and acid etching (SLA). Macrophages were plated on the four titanium surfaces at a population density of 5 x 10(5) cells/mL/well. Tissue culture plastic and tissue culture plastic plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) served as negative and positive control, respectively. In addition, all surfaces were tested for their effects on macrophages in the presence of LPS. Supernatants were collected for assays after 6, 24, and 48 h and the numbers of macrophages attached to the surfaces were quantified using the DAPI (4,6-di-amidino-2-phenylindole) assay. Cytokine and chemokine levels were measured with sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Statistical comparison between the surfaces and the controls was determined by using the two-way analysis of variance including interaction effect (two tailed and p < or = 0.05). Unstimulated macrophages increased their secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine (TNF-alpha) when attached to rough surfaces (acid etching and SLA, p < or = 0.05). In macrophages stimulated with LPS, the roughest surface SLA produced higher levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha at 24 and 48 h than all other surfaces (p < or = 0.05). Surface topography also modulated the secretion of the chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha by macrophages. Unstimulated macrophages attached to the SLA surface down-regulated their production of chemokines (p < or = 0.05) whereas LPS-stimulated macrophages attached to the SLA surface up-regulated their production (p < or = 0.05). Moreover, the SLA surface was found to act synergistically with LPS as well as the combination of blasting and etching features of the SLA surface resulted in significant release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines by stimulated macrophages at 24 and 48 h (p < or = 0.05). This in vitro study has demonstrated that surface topography, in particular the SLA surface, modulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines by macrophages in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
Cell shapes induced by cell-substratum interactions are linked with proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis of cells. To clarify the relevance of specific surface characteristics, we applied self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of alkyl silanes exhibiting a variety of terminating functional groups. We first characterised the SAMs on glass or silicon wafers by measuring wettability, layer thickness and roughness. Water contact angle data revealed that methyl (CH(3)), bromine (Br), and vinyl (CH=CH(2)) groups lead to hydrophobic surfaces, while amine (NH(2)) and carboxyl (COOH) functions lead to moderately wettable surfaces, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hydroxyl (OH) groups created wettable substrata. The surfaces were found to be molecular smooth except for one type of NH(2) surface. The SDS-PAGE analysis of proteins adsorbed from bovine serum to the SAMs showed less protein adsorption to PEG and OH than to CH(3), NH(2) and COOH. Immunoblotting revealed that a key component of adsorbed proteins is vitronectin while fibronectin was not detectable. The interaction of human fibroblasts with CH(3), PEG and OH terminated SAMs was similarly weak while strong attachment, spreading, fibronectin matrix formation and growth were observed on COOH and NH(2). The strong interaction of fibroblasts with the latter SAMs was linked to an enhanced activity of integrins as observed after antibody-tagging of living cells.

Abstract
The adhesion and activation of monocytes and macrophages are thought to affect the foreign body response to implanted medical devices. However, these cells interact with devices indirectly, because of the prior adsorption of proteins. Therefore, we preadsorbed several "model" biomaterial surfaces with proteins and then measured foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) release, and procoagulant activity. The model surfaces were tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), untreated polystyrene (PS), and Primaria, whereas the proteins used were albumin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and immunoglobulin. FBGC formation, TNFalpha release, and procoagulant activity of monocytes were the highest for surfaces preadsorbed with IgG. FBGC formation was lower on surfaces with adsorbed fibrinogen and fibronectin than on uncoated surfaces. TNFalpha release and procoagulant activity of monocytes were similar on surface adsorbed with fibrinogen, fibronectin, or albumin. Monocyte activation was also affected by the surface chemistry of the substrates, because FBGC formation was the highest on PS and the lowest on TCPS. Monocyte procoagulant activity was the highest on Primaria. Adsorbed proteins and surface chemistry were found to have strong effects on FBGC formation, monocyte TNFalpha release, and procoagulant activity in vitro, providing support for the idea that these same variables could affect macrophage-mediated foreign body response to biomaterials in vivo.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) surfaces reduce non-specific protein and cell interactions with implanted biomaterials and may improve their biocompatibility. PEO-like polymerized tetraglyme surfaces were made by glow discharge plasma deposition onto fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP) substrates and were shown to adsorb less than 10 ng/cm2 of fibrinogen in vitro. The ability of the polymerized tetraglyme surfaces to resist leukocyte adhesion was studied in vitro and in vivo. Polymerized tetraglyme and FEP were implanted subcutaneously in mice and removed after 1 day or 4 weeks. Histological analysis showed a similar degree of fibrous encapsulation around all of the 4-week implants. Darkly stained wells were present in the fibrous tissues at the tissue-material interface of both FEP and tetraglyme. Scanning electron micrographs showed that in vivo macrophage adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was much higher than to FEP. After 2-hour contact with heparinized whole blood, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was much higher than to FEP, while platelet adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was lower than to FEP. When PMNs isolated from blood were suspended in 10% autologous plasma, cell adhesion to polymerized tetraglyme was higher than to FEP; however when the cells were suspended in heat inactivated serum, cell adhesion to FEP was higher than to polymerized tetraglyme. The surface chemistry of polymerized tetraglyme did not change after 2-hour blood contact, but displayed nitrogen functional groups after 1-day implantation and became slightly degraded after 4-week implantation. The surface chemistry of FEP did not change significantly after blood contact or implantation. Loosely bound proteins such as fibrinogen on polymerized tetraglyme may contribute to the adhesion of PMNs and macrophages and ultimately to fibrous encapsulation (the foreign body response) around the implants.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol):poly(acrylate) PEG-g-PA co-polymers were made that inhibited nonspecific protein and cellular adhesion. PEG-g-PA co-polymers were then covalently modified with either cell adhesion peptides or fragments of antibodies to monocyte/macrophage integrin receptors (anti-VLA4, anti-beta(1), anti-beta(2), and anti-CD64) known to enhance macrophage adhesion and, perhaps, modulate their activation. Peptides were either directly conjugated to the base material or linked by way of PEO-star tethers. Fragments of the antibody region containing the antigen-binding site (Fab' fragments) were coupled to other PEG-g-PA samples using the sulhydryl end groups on Fab' fragments to amine-bearing PEO stars. Macrophage adhesion rates, phagocytic response (oxidative burst), and cytokine expression were determined for each PEG-g-PA material. Luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence was used as a semiquantitative indication of monocyte-macrophage phagocytic activation (oxidative burst). Macrophage cytokine expression in response to control, base, and modified materials was determined by ELISAs for TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-8. Tissue culture poly(styrene) (TCPS)-mediated the greatest number of adherent monocyte/macrophage cells relative to PEG-g-PA materials. Both YRGDS and YEILDV peptides, whether directly or indirectly (via StarPEO) conjugated to PEG-g-PA, increased adhesion versus controls. Fab' fragments of all four antibodies also promoted enhanced adhesion versus controls. Fab'StarPEO materials presented two orders of magnitude fewer ligands per surface unit area than peptide star materials (10(8) vs. 10(10)), but were able to adhere similar numbers of cells. For surfaces presenting Fab'(VLA-4) or YEILDV, both of which may both bind to a cell's VLA-4 receptor, the Star:VLA4 surface showed a greater number of adherent monocyte/macrophages. This result suggests that the Fab' had a higher affinity to the cell receptor than a corresponding minimal peptide binding sequence. All materials exhibited low oxidative burst (luminescence counts per minute, LCPM) per cell DNA without the addition of exogenous stimuli (LCPM/DNA < 100). Directly conjugated peptide materials, poly(propylene) (PP), and TCPS showed the lowest levels of LCPM/DNA without the addition of exogenous stimulus (LCPM/DNA < 20). There was no correlation between LCPM/DNA ratios, with and without added LPS stimulus, versus the individual substrates. Monocyte/macrophages adherent to TCPS substrata showed the overall highest stimulatory potential in cytokine expression response to exogenous LPS, followed by PP > PEG-g-PA > StarPEO. Cells adherent to peptide-modified materials and Fab'-modified materials were overall less stimulated. The method of presenting the peptides (i.e., directly or via Star PEO) influenced the level of cytokine secreted by the adherent macrophage.

Abstract
Multinucleated giant cells (MGC) are characteristic cells in granulomatous disorders such as sarcoidosis and also formed in vitro from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by stimulation with cytokines, including interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-4, IL-13, and granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor. In addition to such inflammatory mediators, a factor derived from the pathogens of granulomatous disorders may be necessary for MGC formation. Muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a peptidoglycan portion of bacterial cell walls present in sarcoidal lesions, is one of the candidates and can preferentially induce Langhans-type cells (LGC) in in vitro MGC formation system. Although the exact mechanisms of in vitro MGC formation remains unknown, receptors such as P2X(7), integrins, CD98, and macrophage fusion protein are considered to be involved in cell-to-cell adhesion and subsequent fusion process. Monocytes from sarcoidosis patients expressed higher levels of P2X(7) and had a higher ability to induce MGC than those from healthy controls. Attributable cells for the formation were CD14(++)CD16(-) monocytes. Therefore, CD14(++)CD16(-) monocytes may infiltrate into sarcoidal lesions and be fused to form LGC by inflammatory mediators and MDP derived from the pathogens of the disorder. Effective agents for sarcoidosis such as tranilast, allopurinol, and captopril inhibited in vitro MGC formation through inhibiting the expression of adhesion molecule and purinergic receptor. Thus, an in vitro MGC formation model would be a useful tool to understand the relevance of MGC in granulomatous disorders.

Abstract
Polydisperse humic acid thin films on optically transparent electrodes (OTEs) have been prepared by electrophoretic deposition from a solution of Suwanee River humic acid (SHA) in ethanol/acetonitrile. The thickness of the film and the rate of deposition of SHA are dependent on the applied voltage and the concentration of the solution. Tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM) confirms the assembly of SHA aggregates on the electrode surface. The ability of these thin films to incorporate redox-active species such as ferrocene from solution is demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry experiments. A linear dependence of the peak current for the oxidation of ferrocene as a function of scan rate indicates that the ferrocene is incorporated into the humic membrane.
