Abstract
The paradigm of using metal biomaterials could be viewed from two sides - treatment of wide spectrum of degenerative diseases, and debris release from materials. After implant insertion, metal nanoparticles (NPs) and ions are released not only upon the first contact with cells/tissues, but in continual manner, which is immediately recognized by immune cells. In this work, the effects of metal nanoparticles (TiO2, Ni) and ions (Ni2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Mo6+) on primary human M0 macrophages from the blood samples of osteoarthritic patients undergoing total arthroplasty were studied in order to monitor immunomodulatory effects on the cells in a real-time format. The highest NiNPs concentration of 10 µg/ml had no effect on any of macrophage parameters, while the Ni2+ ions cytotoxicity limit for the cells is 0.5 mM. The cytotoxic effects of higher Ni2+ concentration revealed mitochondrial network fragmentation leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, accompanied by increased lysosomal activity and changes in pro-apoptotic markers. The suppression of M2 cell formation ability was connected to presence of Ni2+ ions (0.5 mM) and TiO2NPs (10 µg/ml). The immunomodulatory effect of Mo6+ ions, controversially, inhibit the formation of the cells with M1 phenotype and potentiate the thread-like shape M2s with increased chaotic cell movement. To summarize, metal toxicity depends on the debris form. Both, metal ions and nanoparticles affect macrophage size, morphological and functional parameters, but the effect of ions is more complex and likely more harmful, which has potential impact on healing and determines post-implantation reactions.

Abstract
Titanium dental implants are one of the modalities to replace missing teeth. The release of titanium particles from the implant's surface may modulate the immune cells, resulting in implant failure. However, little is known about the immune microenvironment that plays a role in peri-implant inflammation as a consequence of titanium particles. In this study, the peri-implant gingival tissues were collected from patients with failed implants, successful implants and no implants, and then a whole transcriptome analysis was performed. The gene set enrichment analysis confirmed that macrophage M1/M2 polarization and lymphocyte proliferation were differentially expressed between the study groups. The functional clustering and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes between the failed implants and successful implants versus no implants revealed that the immune response pathways were the most common in both comparisons, implying the critical role of infiltrating immune cells in the peri-implant tissues. The H&E and IHC staining confirmed the presence of titanium particles and immune cells in the tissue samples, with an increase in the infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages in the failed implant samples. The in vitro validation showed a significant increase in the level of IL-1β, IL-8 and IL-18 expression by macrophages. Our findings showed evidence that titanium particles modulate lymphocyte and macrophage polarization in peri-implant gingival tissues, which can help in the understanding of the imbalance in osteoblast-osteoclast activity and failure of dental implant osseointegration.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been widely used in food, cosmetics, and biomedical research. However, human safety following exposure to TiO2 NPs remains to be fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro safety and toxicity of TiO2 NPs synthesized via the Stöber method under different washing and temperature conditions. TiO2 NPs were characterized by their size, shape, surface charge, surface area, crystalline pattern, and band gap. Biological studies were conducted on phagocytic (RAW 264.7) and non-phagocytic (HEK-239) cells. Results showed that washing amorphous as-prepared TiO2 NPs (T1) with ethanol while applying heat at 550 °C (T2) resulted in a reduction in the surface area and charge compared to washing with water (T3) or a higher temperature (800 °C) (T4) and influenced the formation of crystalline structures with the anatase phase in T2 and T3 and rutile/anatase mixture in T4. Biological and toxicological responses varied among TiO2 NPs. T1 was associated with significant cellular internalization and toxicity in both cell types compared to other TiO2 NPs. Furthermore, the formation of the crystalline structure induced toxicity independent of other physicochemical properties. Compared with anatase, the rutile phase (T4) reduced cellular internalization and toxicity. However, comparable levels of reactive oxygen species were generated following exposure to the different types of TiO2, indicating that toxicity is partially driven via non-oxidative pathways. TiO2 NPs were able to trigger an inflammatory response, with varying trends among the two tested cell types. Together, the findings emphasize the importance of standardizing engineered nanomaterial synthesis conditions and evaluating the associated biological and toxicological consequences arising from changes in synthesis conditions.

Abstract
Titanium and Titanium alloys are widely used as biomedical implants in oral and maxillofacial surgery, due to superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In specific clinical populations such as the elderly, diabetics and patients with metabolic diseases, the failure rate of medical metal implants is increased significantly, putting them at increased risk of revision surgery. Many studies show that the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment of bone tissue surrounding implant materials is increased in patients undergoing revision surgery. In addition, the size and shape of materials, the morphology, wettability, mechanical properties, and other properties play significant roles in the production of ROS. The accumulated ROS break the original balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation, resulting in host oxidative stress. It may accelerate implant degradation mainly by activating inflammatory cells. Peri-implantitis usually leads to a loss of bone mass around the implant, which tends to affect the long-term stability and longevity of implant. Therefore, a great deal of research is urgently needed to focus on developing antibacterial technologies. The addition of active elements to biomedical titanium and titanium alloys greatly reduce the risk of postoperative infection in patients. Besides, innovative technologies are developing new biomaterials surfaces conferring anti-infective properties that rely on the production of ROS. It can be considered that ROS may act as a messenger substance for the communication between the host and the implanted material, which run through the entire wound repair process and play a role that cannot be ignored. It is necessary to understand the interaction between oxidative stress and materials, the effects of oxidative stress products on osseointegration and implant life as well as ROS-induced bactericidal activity. This helps to facilitate the development of a new generation of well-biocompatible implant materials with ROS responsiveness, and ultimately prolong the lifespan of implants.

Abstract
Titanium Dental implant is the most successful treatment modality to replace missing teeth today. Although titanium is considered biologically biocompatible, strong, and corrosion-free, the risk of implant failure continues due to bone loss at the expense of optimum oral health. Current research points toward the presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles leached from dental implant surface, which occurred due to mechanical and chemical insults on the surface. This study aimed to investigate the influence of TiO2 particles of different sizes leaching from implant surfaces on Human Osteoblast cells (HOB) in-vitro. Titanium dioxide particles in both nano (NPs) and micro (MPs) size and at different concentrations were introduced to human osteoblast cells with and without treatment with vitamin C. Production of ROS was measured using H2DCFDA cellular ROS Assay Kit and MCP-1 and IL-8 cytokines released were assayed at 24 h time point using ELISA technique. Results showed a dose dependent increase in ROS production following exposure of HOB to both nano and micro particles. MCP-1 and IL-8 were released and there was minimal difference between the amount generated by nano compared with micro size particles. Treatment of HOB with antioxidant vitamin C demonstrated a significant reduction in the generation of ROS. At the same time, MCP-1 release was reduced significantly for the 100 μg/mL TiO2 NPs and MPs after Vitamin C treatment while IL-8 release increased significantly. This study suggests a positive role played by antioxidants in the control of ROS generation and chemokines production in the peri-implant tissue environment.

Abstract
Macrophages are key innate immune cells that mediate implant acceptance or rejection. Titanium implants degrade over time inside the body, which results in the release of implant wear-off particles. Titanium nanoparticles (TiNPs) favor pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization (M1) and lower tolerogenic activation (M2). GDF-15 regulates immune tolerance and fibrosis and is endocytosed by stabilin-1. How TiNPs affect the healing activities of macrophages and their release of circulating cytokines is an open question in regenerative medicine. In this study for the first time, we identified the transcriptional program induced and suppressed by TiNPs in human pro-inflammatory and healing macrophages. Microarray analysis revealed that TiNPs altered the expression of 5098 genes in M1 (IFN-γ-stimulated) and 4380 genes in M2 (IL-4–stimulated) macrophages. 1980 genes were differentially regulated in both M1 and M2. Affymetrix analysis, confirmed by RT-PCR, demonstrated that TiNPs upregulate expression of GDF-15 and suppress stabilin-1, scavenger receptor of GDF-15. TiNPs also significantly stimulated GDF-15 protein secretion in inflammatory and healing macrophages. Flow cytometry demonstrated, that scavenging activity of stabilin-1 was significantly suppressed by TiNPs. Confocal microscopy analysis showed that TiNPs impair internalization of stabilin-1 ligand acLDL and its transport to the endocytic pathway. Our data demonstrate that TiNPs have a dual effect on the GDF-15/stabilin-1 interaction in macrophage system, by increasing the production of GDF-15 and suppressing stabilin-1-mediated clearance function. In summary, this process can result in a significant increase of GDF-15 in the extracellular space and in circulation leading to unbalanced pro-fibrotic reactions and implant complications.
