The Dopamine D1 Receptor Attenuates Titanium Particle-Induced Inhibition of Osteogenesis by Activating the Wnt Signaling Pathway. Mediators Inflamm 2023; 2023:6331650. [PMID: 36700172 PMCID: PMC9870688 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6331650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO), caused by wear particles, has become a major cause of joint replacement failure. Secondary surgery after joint replacement poses a serious threat to public health worldwide. Therefore, determining how to effectively inhibit wear particle-induced PPO has become an urgent issue. Recently, the interaction between osteogenic inhibition and wear particles at the biological interface of the implant has been found to be an important factor in the pathological process. Previous studies have found that the central nervous system plays an important role in the regulation of bone formation and bone remodeling. Dopamine (DA), an important catecholamine neurotransmitter, plays an integral role in the physiological and pathological processes of various tissues through its corresponding receptors. Our current study found that upregulation of dopamine first receptors could be achieved by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, improving osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and significantly reducing the inhibition of titanium particle-induced osteogenesis. Overall, these findings suggest that dopamine first receptor (D1R) may be a plausible target to promote osteoblast function and resist wear particle-induced PPO.

Dental implant material related changes in molecular signatures in peri-implantitis - A systematic review and integrative analysis of omics in-vitro studies. Dent Mater 2023; 39:101-113. [PMID: 36526446 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2022.11.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Since peri-implantitis differs clinically and histopathologically from periodontitis, implant wear debris is considered to play a role in the destructive processes. This work aims to systematically review if titanium particles affect oral-related cells through changes in molecular signatures (e.g., transcriptome, proteome, epigenome), thereby promoting peri-implantitis. METHODS Leveraging three literature databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane) a systematic search based on a priori defined PICOs was conducted: '-omics' studies examining titanium exposure in oral-related cells. After risk of bias assessments, lists of differentially expressed genes, proteins, and results of functional enrichment analyses were compiled. The significance of overlapping genes across multiple studies was assessed via Monte Carlo simulation and their ranking was verified using rank aggregation. RESULTS Out of 2104 screened articles we found 12 eligible publications. A significant overlap of gene expression in oral-related cells exposed to titanium particles was found in four studies. Furthermore, changes in biological processes like immune/inflammatory or stress response as well as toll-like receptor (TLR) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways were linked to titanium in transcriptome and proteome studies. Epigenetic changes caused by titanium were detected but inconsistent. CONCLUSION An influence of titanium implant wear debris on the development and progression of peri-implantitis is plausible but needs to be proven in further studies. Limitations arise from small sample sizes of included studies and insufficient publication of re-analyzable data.

Abstract
Over the last decades, joint arthroplasty has become a successful treatment for joint disease. Nowadays, with a growing demand and increasingly younger and active patients accepting these approaches, orthopedic surgeons are seeking implants with improved mechanical behavior and longer life span. However, aseptic loosening as a result of wear debris from implants is considered to be the main cause of long-term implant failure. Previous studies have neatly illustrated the role of micrometric wear particles in the pathological mechanisms underlying aseptic loosening. Recent osteoimmunologic insights into aseptic loosening highlight the important and heretofore underrepresented contribution of nanometric orthopedic wear particles. The present review updates the characteristics of metallic and ceramic nanoparticles generated after prosthesis implantation and summarizes the current understanding of their hazardous effects on peri-prosthetic cells.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening subsequent to periprosthetic osteolysis is the leading cause for the revision of arthroplasty failure. The biological response of macrophages to wear debris has been well established, however, the equilibrium of bone remodeling is not only dictated by osteoclastic bone resorption but also by osteoblast-mediated bone formation. Increasing evidence shows that wear debris significantly impair osteoblastic physiology and subsequent bone formation. In the present review, we update the current state of knowledge regarding the effect of biomaterial implant wear debris on osteoblasts. The interaction of osteoblasts with osteoclasts and macrophages under wear debris challenge, and potential treatment options targeting osteoblasts are also presented.

Abstract
We investigated the biophysical effects (cell elasticity and spring constant) caused on Saos-2 human osteoblast-like cells by nanosized metal (Co and Ti) wear debris, as well as the adhesive characteristics of cells after exposure to the metal nanoparticles. Cell mitochondrial activity was investigated using the MTT assays; along with LDH assay, metal uptake, cell apoptosis and mineralisation output (alizarin red assay) of the cells. Osteoblasts mitochondrial activity was not affected by Ti nanoparticles at concentrations up to 1 mg/ml and by Cobalt nanoparticles at concentrations < 0.5 mg/ml; however elasticity and spring constant were significantly modified by the exposure to nanoparticles of these metals in agreement with the alteration of cell conformation (shape), as result of the exposure to simulated wear debris, demonstrated by fluorescence images after actin staining.

Abstract
When orthopedic joints coated by hydroxyapatite (HA) were implanted in the human body, they release wear debris into the surrounding tissues. The generation and accumulation of wear particles will induce aseptic loosening. However, the potential bioeffect and mechanism of HA-coated orthopedic implants on bone cells are poorly understood. In this study, defect-related luminescent bur-like hydroxyapatite (BHA) microspheres with the average diameter of 7-9 μm which are comparable to that of the wear-debris particles from aseptically loosened HA implants or HA debris have been synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis and the MC3T3-E1 cells were set as a cells model to study the potential bioeffect and mechanism of BHA microspheres. The studies demonstrated that BHA microspheres could be taken into MC3T3-E1 cells via endocytosis involved in micropinocytosis- and clathrin-mediated endocytosis process, and exert cytotoxicity effect. BHA microspheres could induce the cell apoptosis by intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which led to not only an increase in the permeability of lysosome and release of cathepsins B, but also mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage. Our results provide novel evidence to elucidate their toxicity mechanisms and might be helpful for more reasonable applications of HA-based orthopaedic implants in the future.

Micrometer-Sized Titanium Particles Induce Aseptic Loosening in Rabbit Knee. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:5410875.

Abstract
Wear debris induced aseptic loosening is the leading cause of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure. The complex mechanism of aseptic loosening has been a major issue for introducing effective prevention and treatment methods, so a simplified yet efficient rabbit model was established to address this concern with the use of micrometer-sized titanium particles. 20 New Zealand white rabbits were selected and divided into two groups (control = 10, study = 10). A TKA surgery was then performed for each of them, with implantation of a titanium rod prosthesis which was coated evenly with micrometer-sized titanium in the study group and nothing in the control group, into right femoral medullary cavity. After 12 weeks, all the animals were euthanized and X-ray analyses, H&E staining, Goldner Masson trichrome staining, Von Kossa staining, PCR, and Western blotting of some specific mRNAs and proteins in the interface membrane tissues around the prosthesis were carried out. The implantation of a titanium rod prosthesis coated with 20 μm titanium particles into the femoral medullary cavity of rabbits caused continuous titanium particle stimulation around the prosthesis, effectively inducing osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Titanium particle-induced macrophages produce multiple inflammatory factors able to activate osteoclast differentiation through the OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway, resulting in osteolysis while suppressing the function of osteoblasts and reducing bone ingrowth around the prosthesis. This model simulated the implantation and loosening process of an artificial prosthesis, which is an ideal etiological model to study the aseptic prosthetic loosening.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of artificial joints is the leading cause of failure for patients who receive total joint arthroplasty. Prior reports indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BSMC) are critical in the stabilization of implanted artificial joints, and that deregulated interaction between BMSCs and artificial joint derived particles is a risk factor for aseptic loosening with an unknown mechanism. In the present study, the pathomechanisms whereby titanium and its alloy derived particles facilitate aseptic loosing were investigated in vitro. It was demonstrated that nano‑sized titanium alloy particles significantly inhibited the proliferation of BMSCs in a time and concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the particles promoted the apoptosis of BMSCs in the same manner. Bax and Caspase‑3 expression of BMSCs were elevated when cultured with the particles. As BMSCs exhibit a critical role in the stabilization of artificial joints, the results of the present study may provide a novel direction for the management of aseptic loosening in clinics.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis remains the leading obstacle for total joint replacements. Primarily, it was thought that aseptic loosening is mainly caused by macrophage mediated inflammatory process arising from production of wear debris. The role of osteoclasts and its sequential bone resorption ability has been extensively studied, but little is known about impaired osteogenesis during osteolysis. In the current study, we have tried to delineate the regulatory mechanism of osteogenic signals by Ti particles in osteoprogenitor cells as well its participatory role in wear debris induced osteolysis. Implantation of Ti particles on mice calvaria induced pro-inflammatory response, elevated expression of COX2 and reduced the expression of Osterix. Treatment of Ti particles to MC3T3 E-1 cells displayed decreased osteogenic activity including ALP activity, mineralization and mRNA levels several osteogenic genes. Moreover, the basal activity of WNT and BMP signaling pathways was suppressed in MC3T3 E-1 cells treated with Ti particles. As an early response to Ti particles, MC3T3 E-1 cells showed activation of ERK and JNK. Co-inhibition of ERK and JNK with their specific inhibitors resulted in partial recovery of WNT and BMP signaling activity as well as ALP activity and collagen synthesis. Finally, LiCl mediated activation of WNT signaling pathway demonstrated rescue of Ti particle facilitated suppression of Osterix expression in mice calvaria. Our results provide evidences that WNT signaling pathway is regulated by ERK, JNK, and BMP signaling pathway during wear debris induced inflammatory osteolysis and may be considered as suitable therapeutic targets for the treatment. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The etiology of the reduced marginal bone loss observed around platform-switched implant-abutment connections is not clear but could be related to the release of variable amounts of corrosion products. The present study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of metal ions released from different implant abutment couples on osteoblastic cell viability, apoptosis and expression of genes related to bone resorption. METHODS Osteoblastic cells were exposed to five conditions of culture media prepared containing metal ions (titanium, aluminum, vanadium, cobalt, chromium and molybdenum) in different concentrations representing the amounts released from platform-matched and platform-switched implant-abutment couples as a result of an earlier accelerated corrosion experiment. Cell viability was evaluated over 21days using the Alamar Blue assay. Induction of apoptosis was measured after 24h of exposure using flow cytometry. Expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, cyclooxygenase-2, caspase-8, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) by osteoblastic cells were analysed after exposure for 1, 3 and 21days using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay RESULTS: Metal ions in concentrations representing the platform-matched groups led to a reduction in cell viability (P<0.01) up to 7days of exposure. Stimulated cells showed higher rates of early apoptosis (P<0.01) compared to non-treated cells. Metal ions up-regulated the expression of interleukin-6, interleukin-8, cyclooxygenase-2 and RANKL in a dose dependent manner after 1day of exposure (P<0.05). The up-regulation was more pronounced in the groups containing the corrosion products of platform-matched implant-abutment couples. CONCLUSION Osteoblastic cell viability, apoptosis, and regulation of bone resorbing mediators were significantly altered in the presence of metal ions. The change in cytokine levels expressed was directly proportional to the metal ion concentration. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The observed biological responses to decreased amounts of metal ions released from platform-switched implant-abutment couples compared to platform-matched couples may partly explain the positive radiographic findings in respect to crestal bone level when utilising the "platform-switching" concept, which highlights the possible role of corrosion products in the mediation of crestal bone loss around dental implants.

Abstract
Mineralized bone matrix constituted with collagenous and non-collagenous proteins was synthesized by osteoblasts differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells. Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a serine protease inhibitor, promotes cell migration and proliferation, and suppresses the inflammatory response. Recent studies reported that SLPI regulates the formation of dentin and mineralization by odontoblasts and increases the adhesion and viability of preosteoblasts on a titanium (Ti) surface. Ti and its alloys are widely used implant materials in artificial joints and dental implants owing to their biocompatibility with bone. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether SLPI can be an effective molecule in promoting differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts on a Ti surface. In order to investigate the effects of SLPI on osteoblasts, an MTT assay, PCR, western blotting and Alizarin Red S staining were performed. The results demonstrated that SLPI increased the viability of osteoblasts during differentiation on Ti discs compared with that of the control. The expression levels of SLPI mRNA and protein were higher than that of the control after treatment of osteoblasts with SLPI on Ti discs during differentiation. SLPI increased the formation of mineralized nodules and mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase, dentin sialophosphoprotein, dentin matrix protein 1, bone sialoprotein, and collagen I in osteoblasts on Ti discs compared with that of the control. In conclusion, SLPI increases the viability and promotes the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts on Ti surfaces, suggesting that SLPI is an effective molecule for achieving successful osseointegration between osteoblasts and a Ti surface.

[PMID: 25307126 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2014.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2014] [Revised: 08/20/2014] [Accepted: 09/06/2014] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a more and more frequent approach for the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis in young and active adults; it successfully relieves joint pain and improves function significantly enhancing the health-related quality of life. Aseptic loosening and other wear-related complications are some of the most recurrent reasons for revision of TJA. This review focuses on current understanding of the biological reactions to prosthetic wear debris comparing in vivo and in vitro results. Mechanisms of interactions of various types of cells with metal, polymeric and ceramic wear particles are summarised. Alternative views based on multidisciplinary approaches are proposed to consider physico-chemical, surface parameters of wear particles (such as: particle size, geometry and charge) and material (particle chemical composition and its nature) with biological effects (cellular responses).

Comparison of periprosthetic tissues in knee and hip joints: differential expression of CCL3 and DC-STAMP in total knee and hip arthroplasty and similar cytokine profiles in primary knee and hip osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2014; 22:1851-60. [PMID: 25151085 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2014.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2014] [Revised: 07/11/2014] [Accepted: 08/03/2014] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify expression profiles (EP) associated with aseptic loosening of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to compare them with EP observed in total hip arthroplasty (THA), and primary knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN Gene EP of TNF, IL-6, IL-8, CHIT1, BMP4, CCL3, CCL18, MMP9, RANKL, OPG, DC-STAMP and SOCS3 were assessed using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on tissues retrieved from patients with aseptically failed TKA (n = 21), THA (n = 41) and primary knee (n = 20) and hip (n = 17) OA. Immunohistochemistry was applied to localize the proteins. RESULTS When compared to knee OA, the pseudosynovial tissue in TKA exhibit (1) elevation of alternative macrophage activation marker (CHIT1), chemokine (IL-8), and a proteolytic enzyme (MMP9); (2) downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF), osteoclastic regulator (OPG) and a stimulator of bone formation (BMP4); (3) no difference in IL-6, CCL3, CCL18, RANKL, DC-STAMP and SOCS3. The EP in TKA differed from EP in aseptically failed THA by lower CCL3 and DC-STAMP mRNA and protein expression. EP of all studied inflammatory and osteoclastogenic molecules were similar in knee and hip OA. CONCLUSIONS Comparing to OA, aseptic loosening of TKA is associated with upregulated expression of CHIT1, IL-8 and MMP9, dysregulated RANKL:OPG ratio and low levels of inflammatory cytokines. Similar cytokine profiles were associated with primary knee and hip OA. Further research is required to explain the differences in CCL3 and DC-STAMP expression between failed TKA and THA.

Abstract
Aseptic implant loosening related to implant wear particle-induced inflammation is the most common cause of failure after joint replacement. Modulation of the inflammatory reaction to the wear products represents a rational approach for preventing aseptic implant failure. Long-term treatment using anti-inflammatory agents, however, can be associated with significant systemic side effects due to the drugs' lack of tissue specificity. To address this issue, N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-dexamethasone conjugate (P-Dex) was developed and evaluated for prevention of wear particle-induced osteolysis and the loss of fixation in a murine prosthesis failure model. Daily administration of free dexamethasone (Dex) was able to prevent wear particle-induced osteolysis, as assessed by micro-CT and histological analysis. Remarkably, monthly P-Dex administration (dose equivalent to free Dex treatment) was equally effective as free dexamethasone, but was not associated with systemic bone loss (a major adverse side effect of glucocorticoids). The reduced systemic toxicity of P-Dex is related to preferential targeting of the sites of wear particle-induced inflammation and its subcellular sequestration and retention by local inflammatory cell populations, resulting in sustained therapeutic action. These results demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing a macromolecular prodrug with reduced systemic toxicity to prevent wear particle-induced osteolysis.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of nanosized TiO2 particles on the death of mouse leukemia L1210 cells. TiO2 particles suppressed proliferation and induced cell death, as measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release into the culture medium. Chromatin condensation, which is typical of the initiation of cell death, was observed in approximately 14% cells cultured with titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles for 12 h. Furthermore, giant DNA fragments of approximately 2 Mbp and high-molecular-weight DNA fragments between 100 kbp and 1 Mbp were observed in cells cultured for 18 h with TiO2 particles. These giant and high-molecular-weight DNA fragments were further degraded into smaller DNA fragments, appearing as DNA ladders. Corresponding to the generation of DNA fragments, caspase-3 activity increased in cells treated with TiO2 particles. TiO2 particle-induced LDH release was not inhibited by cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of endocytosis. These results suggest that nanosized TiO2 particles can induce apoptosis associated with DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation and that TiO2 particle-induced apoptosis is not caused by endocytosis but is associated with contact of the particles with the cell surface.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma-derived cells have been routinely used for studying osteoblastic functions, but it remains unclear to what extent they mimic the behavior of primary osteoblasts in the study of cells and materials interactions. This study reports comparatively on the responses of three human osteosarcoma cell lines, MG-63, Saos-2 and U-2 OS, and human primary osteoblasts cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Phenotypic characterization of the cell lines revealed that Saos-2 cells and primary osteoblasts displayed similar expression patterns of Cbfa1, SP7 and osteocalcin. Unlike primary cells, the cell lines expressed markers of undifferentiated cells, had high proliferative rates and poor fibronectin matrix assembly. None of the three cell lines faithfully reproduced the adhesive behavior of primary osteoblasts when cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Differences in cell growth between the cell lines and primary osteoblasts cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces were also observed. Ti particles inhibited the growth of Saos-2 cells and primary osteoblasts to a similar extent, while no such effect was observed in U-2 OS and MG-63 cells. Saos-2 cells reproduced the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity profile of primary osteoblasts cultured on metallic surfaces or exposed to particles. Altogether, these results show that none of the osteoblast-like cells studied perfectly mimic the behavior of human osteoblast cells (hOB) on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Saos-2 cells reproduce some of the hOB responses such as the profile of enzymatic ALP activity when cultured on the surfaces or treated with particles as well as cell growth inhibition when exposed to Ti particles. Although in vitro cytocompatibility studies involve the evaluation of multiple parameters, Saos-2 cells may be used as representative of human osteoblasts when these standard tests are evaluated.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is a progressive deterioration of bone around prostheses resulting primarily from the presence of wear debris. Particulate material, number, and their interactions with environmental factors play important roles in macrophage activation around implants. We have previously shown that macrophages cultured in the presence of high numbers of cleaned titanium (Ti) particles released significant amounts of PGE₂ that is potentially detrimental for bone. Cleaning of particles has become routine in most studies of macrophage/particle interactions as contaminating endotoxin elicits a macrophage cytokine response and since numerous studies have suggested that endotoxins may be present on implant materials. However, the strenuous cleaning procedure itself represents a possible source of other contaminants (such as material by-products) that may be relevant to the prostanoid response of macrophages. To analyze this hypothesis, the macrophage response to high numbers of cleaned Ti particles was compared to that of unclean particles and to particles that were subjected to a short version of the cleaning procedure. It was found that neither the high amount of endotoxin on the unclean particles nor the duration of the cleaning procedure had an effect on the release of PGE₂ and the decrease in cell viability in response to high number of Ti particles. Evidence of a possible relationship between these two variables is presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sensitization to orthopaedic implant materials is an unpredictable event that might affect implant performance. OBJECTIVES In candidates for hip or knee joint prosthesis implantation, to evaluate preoperative assessments for identifying patients with metal sensitivity, to determine the percentage of patients who developed metal sensitivity at 1 year after prosthesis implantation, and to examine the clinical relevance of patch tests and lymphocyte transformation tests (LTT-MELISA®) for the evaluation of metal sensitization. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 100 patients referred for total hip or total knee arthroplasty were assessed preoperatively and then at 1 year post-implantation by means of patch tests with the metals present in the implant alloys. In a pilot study, 20 patients also underwent both patch testing and a lymphocyte transformation test (LTT-MELISA®) for the same metals. RESULTS Only 72 of 100 patients were patch tested both before and after surgery, and 12 of 20 also underwent LTT-MELISA® before and after surgery. Of 31/100 patients with an apparent history of nickel sensitivity determined during preoperative assessment of subjects, 12 tested negative on both tests, and 4 with a negative history of nickel sensitivity tested positive. One year post-implantation (72 patients), 5 patients who had initially tested negative for a metal allergy became positive for at least one or more metal constituents of the prosthesis on at least one or the other test. CONCLUSIONS Given the discrepancies between the information obtained while taking patient histories and test results, preoperative history-taking alone appears to be insufficient for identifying patients with metal sensitivity. Moreover, the increase in the percentage of patients who tested positive for metal sensitivity 1 year post-implantation suggests the possibility of prosthesis-induced sensitization. Therefore, objective determination of metal sensitivity at preoperative assessment should be considered in planning arthroplasty intervention, as it would help the surgeon in selecting the most appropriate prosthesis for the patient and could benefit implant performance.

Abstract
In the present study, the cytotoxic effects of five prosthodontic materials on the L929 cell line were assessed by flow cytometry (FCM), reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), and MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoli-umbromide) assay. The cells were treated with eluates resin (RE), pressable ceramics (PC), Co-Cr alloy-porcelain (CC), Ni-Cr alloy-porcelain (NC), and diatomite ceramics (DC). The cytotoxicity of all the materials tested by the MTT assay was grade 1. By FCM analysis, apoptosis rates of DC and PC were low, with no significant difference from the control (p > 0.05). The rest of the groups induced much higher apoptosis rates (p < 0.05), with the highest in the RE group. The necrotic cell levels of RE was also significantly increased (p < 0.05). Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression were determined by RT-PCR, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the DC and PC groups were not significantly different from the control (p > 0.05), whereas CC, NC, and RE groups showed significant differences (p < 0.05). Taken together, the results suggest that FCM and RT-PCR analyses can supplement the traditional MTT assay in evaluating the cytotoxicity of prosthodontic materials for selecting highly biocompatible materials.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to examine macrophage response to polycarbonate-urethane, a proposed alternative material to polyethylene in acetabular components of total hip arthroplasty. Polyethylene wear debris from total joint replacements has been linked to osteolysis and implant lifespan. It has been shown in vitro, that polyethylene particles cleaned of endotoxin generate less of an inflammatory cytokine response than endotoxin bound particles. Comparative particle induced effects on implant fixation were tested using endotoxin free cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (x-UHMWPE) and polycarbonate-urethane (PCU) particles with and without intraperitoneal injection (IP) of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) using a Ti-alloy femoral intramedullary nail rat model. MicroCT and mechanical testing assessment of peri-implant bone indicated significantly less bone and lower fixation strength, respectively, when the implant was surrounded by xUHMWPE particles compared to PCU particles (with and without LPS IP). This indicates particles of PCU may be less disruptive to bone-implant fixation than x-UHMWPE in vivo, under both LPS free and challenged conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biologic-reactivity to implant-debris is the primary determinant of long-term clinical performance. The following reviews: 1) the physical aspects of spinal-implant debris and 2) the local and systemic biologic responses to implant debris. METHODS Methods included are: 1) gravimetric wear analysis; 2) SEM and LALLS; 3) metal-ion analysis; 4) ELISA, toxicity testing, patch testing; and 5) metal-lymphocyte transformation testing (metal-LTT). RESULTS Wear and corrosion of spine-implants produce particles and ions. Particles (0.01-1000 μm) are generally submicron ( <1 µm). Wear rates of metal-on-polymer and metal-on-metal disc arthroplasties are approximately 2-20 and 1 mm(3)/yr, respectively. Metal-on-metal total disc replacement components have significant increases in circulating metal (less than 10-fold that of controls at 4 ppb-Co and 3 ppb-Cr or ng/mL). Debris reactivity is local and systemic. Local inflammation is caused primarily by ingestion of debris by local macrophages, which produce pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, and PGE2. Systemic responses associated with implant-debris have been limited to hypersensitivity reactions. Elevated amounts of in the liver, spleen, etc of patients with failed TJA have not been associated with remote toxicological or carcinogenic pathology to date. Implant debris are differentially bioreactive. Greater numbers are pro-inflammatory; the smaller-sized debris are more bioreactive by virtue of their greater numbers (dose) for a given amount of implant mass loss (one 100-μm-diameter particle is equivalent in mass to 1 million 1-μm-diameter particles). Elongated particles are pro-inflammatory (ie, aspect ratio of greater than 3). Metal particles are more proinflammatory than polymers, ceteris paribus. CONCLUSION Spinal arthroplasty designs have been in use for more than 20 years internationally; therefore, concerns about neuropathology, toxicity, and carcinogenicity are mitigated. Debris-induced inflammation still depends on the individual and the type of debris. The consequence of debris-induced inflammation is continued; vigilance by physicians is recommended monitoring of spinal implants using physical exams and testing of metal content and bioreactivity, as is planning for the likelihood of revision in younger individuals.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has grown from a scientific interest to a major industry with both commodity and specialty nanomaterial exposure to global populations and ecosystems. Sub-micron materials are currently used in a wide variety of consumer products and in clinical trials as drug delivery carriers and imaging agents. Due to the expected growth in this field and the increasing public exposure to nanomaterials, both from intentional administration and inadvertent contact, improved characterization and reliable toxicity screening tools are required for new and existing nanomaterials. This review discusses current methodologies used to assess nanomaterial physicochemical properties and their in vitro effects. Current methods lack the desired sensitivity, reliability, correlation and sophistication to provide more than limited, often equivocal, pieces of the overall nanomaterial performance parameter space, particularly in realistic physiological or environmental models containing cells, proteins and solutes. Therefore, improved physicochemical nanomaterial assays are needed to provide accurate exposure risk assessments and genuine predictions of in vivo behavior and therapeutic value. Simpler model nanomaterial systems in buffer do not accurately duplicate this complexity or predict in vivo behavior. A diverse portfolio of complementary material characterization tools and bioassays are required to validate nanomaterial properties in physiology.

Abstract
In vitro models are important investigative tools in understanding the biological processes involved in wear-particle-induced chronic inflammation and periprosthetic osteolysis. In the clinical scenario, particles are produced and delivered continuously over extended periods of time. Previously, we quantified the delivery of both polystyrene and polyethylene particles over 2- and 4-week time periods using osmotic pumps and collection tubes. In the present study, we used explanted mice femora in organ culture and showed that continuous intramedullary delivery of submicron-sized polymer particles using osmotic pumps is feasible. Furthermore, infusion of 2.60 x 10(11) particles per mL (intermediate concentration) of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for 2 weeks and 8.06 x 10(11) particles per mL (high concentration) UHMWPE for 4 weeks both yielded significantly higher scores for bone loss when compared with controls in which only mouse serum was infused.

Abstract
Orthopedic wear debris has been implicated as a significant inhibitory factor of osteoblast differentiation. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles have been previously shown to inhibit the differentiation of osteoprogenitors in heterogeneous murine marrow stromal cell cultures, but the effect of PMMA particles on pure osteoprogenitor populations remains unknown. In this study, we challenged murine MC3T3-E1 osteoprogenitor cells with PMMA particles during their initial differentiation in osteogenic medium. MC3T3-E1 cultures challenged with PMMA particles showed a gradual dose-dependent decrease in mineralization, cell number, and alkaline phosphatase activity at low particle doses (0.038-0.150% v/v) and complete reduction of these outcome parameters at high particle doses (> or =0.300% v/v). MC3T3-E1 cultures challenged with a high particle dose (0.300% v/v) showed no rise in these outcome parameters over time, whereas cultures challenged with a low particle dose (0.075% v/v) showed a normal or reduced rate of increase compared to controls. Osteocalcin production was not significantly affected by particles at all doses tested. MC3T3-E1 cells grown in conditioned medium from particle-treated MC3T3-E1 cultures showed a significant reduction in mineralization only. These results indicate that direct exposure of MC3T3-E1 osteoprogenitors to PMMA particles results in suppression of osteogenic proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
Interactions between periprosthetic cells and prosthetic wear debris have been recognized as an important event in the development of osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Although the ability of wear debris to activate pro-inflammatory macrophage signaling has been documented, the full repertoire of macrophage responses to wear particles has not been established. Here, we examined the involvement of alternative macrophage activation and defective osteogenic signaling in osteolysis. Using real-time RT-PCR analysis of periprosthetic soft tissue from osteolysis patients, we detected elevated levels of expression of alternative macrophage activation markers (CHIT1, CCL18), chemokines (IL8, MIP1 alpha) and markers of osteoclast precursor cell differentiation and multinucleation (Cathepsin K, TRAP, DC-STAMP) relative to osteoarthritis controls. The presence of cathepsin K positive multinuclear cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Reduced expression levels of the osteogenic signaling components BMP4 and FGF18 were detected. Expression levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and RANKL were unchanged, while the anti-osteoclastogenic cytokine OPG was reduced in osteolysis patients, resulting in elevated RANKL:OPG ratios. In vitro studies confirmed the role of particulate debris in alternative macrophage activation and inhibition of osteogenic signaling. Taken together, these results suggest involvement in osteolysis of alternative macrophage activation, accompanied by elevated levels of various chemokines. Increased recruitment and maturation of osteoclast precursors is also observed, as is reduced osteogenesis. These findings provide new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of osteolysis, and identify new potential candidate markers for disease progression and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
Several features of the implant surface, such as roughness, topography and composition play a relevant role in implant integration with bone. This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of various thin layer hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on anodized Ti surfaces on the biological responses of a human osteoblast-like cell line (MG63). MG63 cells were cultured on 100 nm HA (100 nm HA coating on anodized surface), 500-700 nm HA (500-700 nm HA coating on anodized surface), 1 mum HA (1 mum HA coating on anodized surface) and anodize (non-HA coating on anodized surface) Ti. The morphology of these cells was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cDNAs prepared from the total RNAs of the MG63 were hybridized into a human cDNA microarray (1152 elements). The appearances of the surfaces observed by SEM were different on each of the four dental substrate types. MG63 cells cultured on 100 nm HA, 1 mum HA and anodize exhibited cell-matrix interactions. It was 500-700 nm HA surface showing cell-cell interaction. In the expression of genes involved in osseointegration, several genes, including bone morphogenetic protein 2, latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 1, catenin (cadherin-associated protein), integrin, PDGFRB and GDF-1 growth differentiation factor 1 were up-regulated on the different surfaces. Several genes, including fibroblast growth factor receptor 3, fibroblast growth factor 12 and CD4 were down-regulated on the different surfaces. The attachment and expression of key osteogenic regulatory genes were enhanced by the surface morphology of the dental materials used.

Abstract
The generation of prosthetic implant wear after total joint arthroplasty is recognized as the major initiating event in development of periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening, the leading complication of this otherwise successful surgical procedure. We review current concepts of how wear debris causes osteolysis, and report ideas for prevention and treatment. Wear debris primarily targets macrophages and osteoclast precursor cells, although osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and lymphocytes also may be involved. Molecular responses include activation of MAP kinase pathways, transcription factors (including NFkappaB), and suppressors of cytokine signaling. This results in up-regulation of proinflammatory signaling and inhibition of the protective actions of antiosteoclastogenic cytokines such as interferon gamma. Strategies to reduce osteolysis by choosing bearing surface materials with reduced wear properties should be balanced by awareness that reducing particle size may increase biologic activity. There are no approved treatments for osteolysis despite the promise of therapeutic agents against proinflammatory mediators (such as tumor necrosis factor) and osteoclasts (bisphosphonates and molecules blocking receptor activator of NFkappaB ligand [RANKL] signaling) shown in animal models. Considerable efforts are underway to develop such therapies, to identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention, and to develop effective outcome measures.

Abstract
Wear particles from total joint arthroplasties are constantly being generated throughout the lifetime of an implant. Since mesenchymal stem cells and osteoprogenitors from the bone marrow are the precursors of osteoblasts, the reaction of these cells to orthopaedic wear particles is critical to both initial osseointegration of implants and ongoing regeneration of the periprosthetic bed. Particles less than 5 microm can undergo phagocytosis by mature osteoblasts, with potential adverse effects on cellular viability, proliferation and function. The specific effects are dependent on particle composition and dose. Metal and polymer particles in non-toxic doses stimulate pro-inflammatory factor release more than ceramic particles of a similar size. The released factors inhibit markers of bone formation and are capable of stimulating osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Mesenchymal stem cells and osteoprogenitors are also profoundly affected by wear particles. Titanium and polymethylmethacrylate particles inhibit bone cell viability and proliferation, and downregulate markers of bone formation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Future studies should delineate the molecular mechanisms by which particles adversely affect mesenchymal stems cells and the bone cell lineage and provide strategies to modulate these effects.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis remains the leading complication of total hip arthroplasty, often resulting in aseptic loosening of the implant, and a requirement for revision surgery. Wear-generated particular debris is the main cause of initiating this destructive process. The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in our understanding of how wear debris causes osteolysis, and emergent strategies for the avoidance and treatment of this disease. The most important cellular target for wear debris is the macrophage, which responds to particle challenge in two distinct ways, both of which contribute to increased bone resorption. First, it is well known that wear debris activates proinflammatory signaling, which leads to increased osteoclast recruitment and activation. More recently, it has been established that wear also inhibits the protective actions of antiosteoclastogenic cytokines such as interferon gamma, thus promoting differentiation of macrophages to bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and possibly lymphocytes may also be involved in responses to wear. At a molecular level, wear particles activate MAP kinase cascades, NFkappaB and other transcription factors, and induce expression of suppressors of cytokine signaling. Strategies to reduce osteolysis by choosing bearing surface materials with reduced wear properties (such as metal-on-metal) should be balanced by awareness that reducing particle size may increase biological activity. Finally, although therapeutic agents against proinflammatory mediators [such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)] and osteoclasts (bisphosphonates and molecules blocking RANKL signaling) have shown promise in animal models, no approved treatments are yet available to osteolysis patients. Considerable efforts are underway to develop such therapies, and to identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
During the process of bone formation, titanium (Ti) surface is an important factor in the modulation of osteoblastic function. This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different Ti surfaces on the biological responses of a human osteoblast-like cell line (MG63). MG63 cells were cultured on smooth (S), sandblasted large-grit and acid etching (SLA), hydroxyapatite (HA), hydroxyfluoride (HF), titanium nitrate (TIN), and diamond-like carbon (DLC) Ti. The morphology of these cells were assessed by SEM. The cDNAs prepared from the total RNAs of the MG63 were hybridized into a human cDNA microarray (1152 elements). The appearances of the surfaces observed by SEM were different on each of the six dental substrate types. The SLA and HA surfaces were determined to be rougher than the others. MG63 cells cultured on SLA and HA exhibited cell-matrix interactions. In the expression of genes involved in osseointegration, several genes, including bone morphogenetic protein, cadherin, integrin, and insulin-like growth factors, were upregulated on the different surfaces. Several genes, including fibroblast growth factor receptor 4, Bcl 2-related protein, and collagen, were downregulated on the different surfaces. The attachment and expression of key osteogenic regulatory genes were enhanced by the surface roughness of the dental materials used.

Abstract
Molecules absorbed on the surface of particulate wear debris may contribute to inflammatory reactions that lead to aseptic loosening of implants. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, can attach to many biomaterials and stimulate macrophages to secrete osteoclast-activating cytokines. We tested the adsorption of LPS by polyethylene particles in vitro and examined the biological effects of LPS absorption on bone remodeling around implants in vivo. Polyethylene particles were incubated in radiolabeled LPS solutions, and adsorption of LPS by the particles was quantified by radioassay. Because polyethylene particles are hydrophobic and less dense than water, they floated and clumped when incubated in a water solution of LPS, resulting in low adsorption of LPS. However, when particles were incubated in an ethanol solution of LPS, most of the LPS was adsorbed by the particles, and was resistant to washing with water. Triton X-100 (10%), however, effectively washed the LPS off the particles. In a rat model, the presence of polyethylene particles around the implant in the femoral canal decreased bone attachment to the implant at 6 weeks. Incubating the particles with LPS before implantation, or intermittent administration of LPS systemically, further decreased bone-implant attachment to similar extents, but had no effect on the bone density of the control side femurs. Our data indicate that polyethylene particles have high affinity for LPS, depending on many factors, especially the solvents of the LPS. Intermittent systemic administration of LPS affects bone remodeling but only occurs in the area containing polyethylene particles and titanium implants, supporting the hypothesis that the presence of polyethylene particles around implants can result in accumulation of LPS from exogenous sources. This may cause local levels of LPS that are high enough to affect bone remodeling around implants.

Abstract
Novel FeAlCr oxide dispersion strengthened intermetallics that are processed by powder metallurgy have been developed as potential biomaterials. The alloys exhibit a small grain size and a fine dispersion of yttria provides the material with a high yield strength and depending on the alloy composition good ductility (up to 5%). The biocompatibility of the alloy was assessed in comparison with commercial alumina. Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells were either challenged with mechanically alloyed particles, or seeded onto solid samples. Viability and proliferation of cells were substantially unaffected by the presence of a high concentration of particles (1 mg/mL). Solid samples of novel FeAlCr intermetallic have shown a good biocompatibility in vitro, often approaching the behavior of materials well known for their biological acceptance (e.g. alumina). It has been found that osteoblasts are able to produce ALP, a specific marker of cells with bone-forming activity. In this respect, ALUSI alloys hold the promise to be suitable substrate for bone integration. The finding of no cytotoxic effect in the presence of the alloy particles is a reliable proof of the absence of acute toxicity of the material.

Abstract
In an attempt to increase the life of cementless prostheses, an hydroxyapatite-coated implant which releases a bisphosphonate has been suggested as a drug-delivery system. Our in vitro study was designed to determine the maximum dose to which osteoblasts could be safely exposed. Our findings demonstrated that zoledronate did not impair the proliferation of human osteoblasts when used at concentrations below 1 μm. Murine cells can be exposed to concentrations as high as 10 μm. A concentration of 0.01% of titanium particles did not impair the proliferation of either cell line. Zoledronate affected the alkaline phosphatase activity of murine osteoblasts through a chelation phenomenon. The presence of titanium particles strongly decreased the alkaline phosphatase activity of murine osteoblasts. We did not detect any synergic effect of zoledronate and titanium particles on the behaviour of both human and murine osteoblasts.

Abstract
PM 2000 is a Ni-free oxide dispersion strengthened Fe-20Cr-5Al alloy able to develop a fine, dense and tightly adherent alpha-alumina scale during high-temperature oxidation. Despite the high temperature involved during thermal oxidation (1100 degrees C), microstructural changes in the candidate material, a hot rolled product, hardly occurs. Consequently, the good mechanical properties of the as-received material are not significantly affected. Moreover, due to the high compressive residual stresses at the alumina scale, an increase in the fatigue limit from 500 to 530 MPa is observed. Such stresses also account for the high capability of the coating/metal system to withstand more than 1% tensile deformation without cracking. The biocompatibility of the alloy was assessed in comparison to commercial alumina. Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells were either challenged with PM 2000 particles, or seeded onto PM 2000 (with and without scale) solid samples. Viability, growth, and ALP release from cells were assessed after 3 or 7 days, while mineralization was checked at 18 days. This study has demonstrated that PM 2000 with and without scale are capable of supporting in vitro growth and function of osteoblast-like cells over a period of 18 days. Results from this study suggest that the resulting alumina/alloy system combines the good mechanical properties of the alloy with the superior biocompatibility of the alpha-alumina, for which there is very good clinical experience.

Abstract
Prosthetic and osteosynthetic implants from metal alloys will be indispensable in orthopedic surgery, as long as tissue engineering and biodegradable bone substitutes do not lead to products that will be applied in clinical routine for the repair of bone, cartilage, and joint defects. Therefore, the elucidation of the interactions between the periprosthetic tissues and the implant remains of clinical relevance and several factors are known to affect the longevity of implants. Within this study, the effects of metal particles and surface topography on the recruitment of osteoclasts was investigated in vitro in a coculture of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. The cells were grown in the presence of particles of different sizes and chemical composition or on metal discs with polished or sandblasted surfaces, respectively. At the end of the culture, newly formed osteoclasts were counted. Osteoclastogenesis was reduced when particles were added directly to the coculture. The effect depended on the size of the particles, small particles exerting stronger effects than larger ones. The chemical composition of the particles, however, did not affect the development of osteoclasts. In cocultures grown on sandblasted surfaces, osteoclasts developed at higher rates than they did in cultures on polished surfaces. The data demonstrate that wear particles and implant surfaces affect osteoclastogenesis and thus may be involved in the induction of local bone resorption and the formation of osteolytic lesions, leading eventually to the loosening of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
In the present study, the effect of mechanically alloyed particles of new FeAlCr alloys developed for potential applications as surgical implants has been tested on osteoblast- and macrophage-like cells and compared to particles of the Ti6Al4V alloy, for which there is a good clinical experience. After microstructural characterisation of the particles, cells were cultured with particles for 24-48 h using three different concentrations of particles, and the response of cells was quantified by assessment of viability, proliferation, and morphology. Mineralisation by osteoblasts was verified after 21 days. The amount of aluminium and chromium ions in the culture medium of macrophages was measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption and phagocytosis of particles assessed by light microscopy. Viability and proliferation of osteoblast- and macrophage-like cells were substantially unaffected by the presence of particles of the new alloys, which were phagocytosed according to their size. Aluminium and chromium ions were released in the culture medium, but no direct correlation with the cell behaviour was found. In vitro mineralisation was achieved by osteoblasts in due time. The new alloys are well tolerated in in vitro systems, and, due to their chemical and mechanical characteristics, they are under development for surgical implants.

Abstract
Orthopedic implant failures are often associated with peri-implant osteolysis. Particles generated from the wear process have been suspected to play an important role in this situation. Indeed, the peri-implant osteolysis could be due to the presence of particles stimulating the osteoclastogenesis process. We hypothesize then that the presence of a low particle concentration positively influences osteoblasts to produce osteoclastogenesis factors. If true, this hypothesis would then support the idea that the particles could be at the origin of the process leading to implant loosening. To check the validity of this hypothesis, we quantified in vitro the production of different genes involved in the osteoclastogenesis process using primary isolated human osteoblasts treated or not with particles. Results showed that low concentrations of particles might have a stimulating effect on osteoblasts to produce osteoclastogenesis factors as demonstrated by the increase of RANKL and CSF-1 gene expression in the particle group.

Abstract
Rat bone marrow stromal cells were cultured on either Ra (0.14 microm) or Ra (5.8 microm) Ti6Al4V discs for 24 or 48 h. Cells on the Ra (0.14 microm) surface showed typical fibroblastic morphology, whereas cells on the Ra (5.8 microm) surface were in clusters with a more epithelial appearance. RNA was extracted from the cells at both time points, and gene expression was analyzed by using a rat gene microarray. At 24 and 48 h, a similar number of genes were both up- and down-regulated at least twofold on the Ra (5.8 microm) surface compared to the Ra (0.14 microm) surface. We analyzed the relative level of specific groups of genes related to bone and cartilage development, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix proteins, transcription factors, bone morphogenetic proteins, phospholipases, and protein kinases. Roughness did not appear to be a specific stimulator of osteogenesis because genes of both the bone and cartilage lineage were up-regulated on the Ra (5.8 microm) surface. The most prominent change among transcription factors was up-regulation of Hox 1.4 on the Ra (5.8 microm) surface. Up-regulation of phospholipase A2 and SMAD 4 indicate these genes are also involved in the response of cells to an Ra (5.8 microm) surface. Our data show surface roughness alters the expression of a large number of genes in marrow stromal cells, which are related to multiple pathways of mesenchymal cell differentiation.

Abstract
In order to decrease the peri-implant bone loss during the life-time of the implant, oral use of anti-osteoporosis drugs (like bisphosphonates) has been suggested. In this study, bone remodeling parameters identified from clinical trials of alendronate were used to simulate the effect of those drugs used after total hip arthroplasty on the peri-implant bone density. Results of the simulation show that the oral administrated drugs increase bone density around the implant and decreases, at the same time, the micromovements between the implant and the surrounding bone tissue. Incorporation of drug effect in numerical studies of bone remodeling is a promising tool especially to predetermine safe bisphosphonate doses that could be used with orthopedic implants.
