Abstract
Platelets modulate formation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but research with different preparations of platelets remains inconclusive. Here, we assessed whether serum components modulate the effect of platelet preparations. In murine bone marrow cultures, osteoclastogenesis was investigated in the presence of platelet-released supernatant (PRS), serum containing PRS (SC-PRS), and serum. Osteoclastogenesis was quantified by the numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells, TRAP activity and resorption assays. Also human osteoclastogenesis assays were performed. Viability and proliferation were tested by MTT and (3) [H]thymidine incorporation assays, respectively. Osteoblastogenesis was assessed by histochemical staining for alkaline phosphatase-of murine bone marrow cultures and human MG63 cells. We found PRS to increase the number of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells in the early phase and TRAP activity in the later phase of osteoclastogenesis. SC-PRS and serum decreased the number and activity of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells. Both serum containing preparations reduced viability and proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors. PRS decreased the numbers of alkaline phosphatase-positive colonies while SC-PRS and serum increased osteoblastmarkers in MG63. Proliferation of MG63 was stimulated by all preparations. These results show that activated platelets support osteoclastogenesis, while platelet preparations that contain serum components decrease osteoclastogenesis and increase osteoblastogenesis in vitro, suggesting that serum components modulate the effects of platelets on osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis.

Abstract
Bone replacement materials must be able to regulate both osteoblastic synthesis of new bone and osteoclastic resorption process in order to maintain the balance of bone remodeling. Osteoclasts generate from differentiation of mononuclear cells. In the present study, we have studied the osteoclast-like-cells responses (differentiation from mononuclear cells and resorption) to beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) doped with zinc (Zn) and strontium (Sr). Osteoclast-like-cells differentiation and resorption was studied in vitro using osteoclast-like-cells precursor RAW 264.7 cell, supplemented with receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANKL). Morphological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed successful differentiation of osteoclast-like-cells on the doped and undoped β-TCP substrates after 8 days of culture. Cells on the substrate surface expressed specific osteoclast markers such as; actin ring, multiple nucleus, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) synthesis, and vitronectin receptor. However, quantitative TRAP assay indicated the inhibiting effect of Zn on osteoclast differentiation. Although, Zn doped β-TCP restricted osteoclast-like-cells differentiation, the samples were resorbed much faster. An increased resorption pit volume was noticed on Zn doped β-TCP samples after 28 days of culture compared to pure and Sr doped β-TCP. In this work, we demonstrated that β-TCP bone substitute materials can be successfully resorbed by osteoclast-like-cells, where both osteoclast-like-cells differentiation and resorption were modulated by Zn and/or Sr doping- a much needed property for successful bone remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While modular femoral heads have been used in THA for decades, a recent innovation is a second neck-stem taper junction. Clinical advantages include intraoperative adjustment of leg length, femoral anteversion, and easier revision, all providing flexibility to the surgeon; however, there have been reports of catastrophic fracture, cold welding, and corrosion and fretting of the modular junction. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether (1) the neck-stem junction showed the same degradation mechanisms, if any, as the head-neck junction, (2) the junction contributed to THA revision, (3) the alloy affected the degree of degradation, and (4) the trunion machine finish affected the degradation mechanisms. METHODS We compared 57 retrievals from seven total hip modular designs, three cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and four titanium based: Bionik(®) (four), GMRS(®) (four), Margron(®) (22), Apex(®) (five), M-series(®) (five), ZMR(®) (two), and S-ROM(®) (15). Macroscopic inspection, microscopy, and micro-CT were conducted to determine the effects of materials and design. RESULTS The cobalt-chromium-molybdenum components showed crevice corrosion and fretting of the neck-stem taper, whereas the titanium components had less corrosion; however, there were several cases of cold welding where disassembly could not be achieved in theater. CONCLUSIONS Even with modern taper designs and corrosion-resistant materials, corrosion, fretting, and particulate debris were observed to a greater extent in the second neck-stem junction. Titanium-based modular arthroplasty may lessen the degree of degradation, but cold welding of the components may occur. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Degradation of the second junction contributed to 8 cases of metallosis and two cases of aseptic lymphocyte-laminated vascular-associated lesions contributing to revision.

Abstract
To establish the methods of demonstrating early fixation of metal implants to bone, one side of a Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) based alloy implant surface was seeded with rabbit marrow mesenchymal cells and the other side was left unseeded. The mesenchymal cells were further cultured in the presence of ascorbic acid, β-glycerophosphate and dexamethasone, resulting in the appearance of osteoblasts and bone matrix on the implant surface. Thus, we succeeded in generating tissue-engineered bone on one side of the CoCr implant. The CoCr implants were then implanted in rabbit bone defects. Three weeks after the implantation, evaluations of mechanical test, undecalcified histological section and electron microscope analysis were performed. Histological and electron microscope images of the tissue engineered surface exhibited abundant new bone formation. However, newly formed bone tissue was difficult to detect on the side without cell seeding. In the mechanical test, the mean values of pull-out forces were 77.15 N and 44.94 N for the tissue-engineered and non-cell-seeded surfaces, respectively. These findings indicate early bone fixation of the tissue-engineered CoCr surface just three weeks after implantation.

Abstract
Bone substitute materials are required to support the remodeling process, which consists of osteoclastic resorption and osteoblastic synthesis. Osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing cells, generate from differentiation of hemopoietic mononuclear cells. In the present study, we have evaluated the effects of 1.0 wt % strontium (Sr) and 1.0 wt % magnesium (Mg) doping in beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on the differentiation of mononuclear cells into osteoclast-like cells and its resorptive activity. In vitro osteoclast-like cell formation, adhesion, and resorption were studied using osteoclast precursor RAW 264.7 cell, supplemented with receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANKL). Osteoclast-like cell formation was noticed on pure and Sr-doped β-TCP samples at day 8, which was absent on Mg-doped β-TCP samples indicating decrease in initial osteoclast differentiation due to Mg doping. After 21 days of culture, osteoclast-like cell formation was evident on all samples with osteoclastic markers such as actin ring, multiple nuclei, and presence of vitronectin receptor α(v)β(3) integrin. After osteoclast differentiation, all substrates showed osteoclast-like cell-mediated degradation, however, significantly restricted for Mg-doped β-TCP samples. Our present results indicated that substrate chemistry controlled osteoclast differentiation and resorptive activity, which can be used in designing TCP-based resorbable bone substitutes with controlled degradation properties.

Abstract
Low oxygen pressure (hypoxia) plays an important role in stimulating angiogenesis; there are, however, few studies to prepare hypoxia-mimicking tissue engineering scaffolds. Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) has been developed as scaffolds with excellent osteogenic properties for bone regeneration. Ionic cobalt (Co) is established as a chemical inducer of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, which induces hypoxia-like response. The aim of this study was to develop hypoxia-mimicking MBG scaffolds by incorporating ionic Co(2+) into MBG scaffolds and investigate if the addition of Co(2+) ions would induce a cellular hypoxic response in such a tissue engineering scaffold system. The composition, microstructure and mesopore properties (specific surface area, nano-pore volume and nano-pore distribution) of Co-containing MBG (Co-MBG) scaffolds were characterized and the cellular effects of Co on the proliferation, differentiation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion, HIF-1α expression and bone-related gene expression of human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in MBG scaffolds were systematically investigated. The results showed that low amounts of Co (<5%) incorporated into MBG scaffolds had no significant cytotoxicity and that their incorporation significantly enhanced VEGF protein secretion, HIF-1α expression, and bone-related gene expression in BMSCs, and also that the Co-MBG scaffolds support BMSC attachment and proliferation. The scaffolds maintain a well-ordered mesopore channel structure and high specific surface area and have the capacity to efficiently deliver antibiotics drugs; in fact, the sustained released of ampicillin by Co-MBG scaffolds gives them excellent anti-bacterial properties. Our results indicate that incorporating cobalt ions into MBG scaffolds is a viable option for preparing hypoxia-mimicking tissue engineering scaffolds and significantly enhanced hypoxia function. The hypoxia-mimicking MBG scaffolds have great potential for bone tissue engineering applications by combining enhanced angiogenesis with already existing osteogenic properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been recent concern regarding the increased use of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (MOM-THA) as an alternative to contemporary metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (MOP-THA), and the choice remains controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate and compare metal ion concentrations, complications, reoperation rates, clinical outcomes and radiographic outcomes of MOM-THA and MOP-THA. METHODS We performed a systematic review of English and non-English articles identified from MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PreMEDLINE and HealthSTAR. Metal ion concentrations, complications, reoperation rates and other outcomes of MOM bearings were compared with MOP bearings in THA based on relative risks, mean differences and standardized mean difference statistics. RESULTS Eight prospective randomized trials were identified from 1,075 citations. Our results demonstrated significantly elevated erythrocyte, serum and urine levels of metal ions (cobalt and chromium) among patients who received MOM-THA. No significant differences in titanium concentrations or total complication or reoperation rates were found between MOM-THA and MOP-THA. Clinical function scores and radiographic evaluations were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This analysis found insufficient evidence to identify any clinical advantage of MOM-THA compared with MOP-THA. Although cobalt and chromium concentrations were elevated after MOM-THA, there were no significant differences in total complication rates (including all-case mortality) between the two groups in the short- to mid-term follow-up period. The MOM bearing option for THA should be used with caution.

Abstract
Metal-on-metal hip replacement (MOMHR) using large diameter bearings has become a popular alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty, but is associated with elevated local tissue and circulating levels of chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co) ions that may affect bone health. We examined the effects of acute and chronic exposure to these metals on human osteoblast and osteoclast formation and function over a clinically relevant concentration range previously reported in serum and within hip synovial fluid in patients after MOMHR. SaOS-2 cells were cultured with Co(2+), Cr(3+) and Cr(6+) for 3 days after which an MTS assay was used to assess cell viability, for 13 days after which alkaline phosphatase and cell viability were assessed and for 21 days after which nodule formation was assessed. Monocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood and settled onto dentine disks then cultured with M-CSF and RANKL plus either Co(2+), Cr(3+) or Cr(6+) ions for 21 days from day 0 or between days 14 and 21. Cells were fixed and stained for TRAP and osteoclast number and amount of resorption per dentine disk determined. Co(2+) and Cr(3+) did not affect osteoblast survival or function over the clinically equivalent concentration range, whilst Cr(6+) reduced osteoblast survival and function at concentrations within the clinically equivalent serum range after MOMHR (IC(50) =2.2 μM). In contrast, osteoclasts were more sensitive to metal ions exposure. At serum levels a mild stimulatory effect on resorption in forming osteoclasts was found for Co(2+) and Cr(3+), whilst at higher serum and synovial equivalent concentrations, and with Cr(6+), a reduction in cell number and resorption was observed. Co(2+) and Cr(6+) within the clinical range reduced cell number and resorption in mature osteoclasts. Our data suggest that metal ions at equivalent concentrations to those found in MOMHR affect bone cell health and may contribute to the observed bone-related complications of these prostheses.

Abstract
Several inorganic materials such as special compositions of silicate glasses, glass-ceramics and calcium phosphates have been shown to be bioactive and resorbable and to exhibit appropriate mechanical properties which make them suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. However, the exact mechanism of interaction between the ionic dissolution products of such inorganic materials and human cells are not fully understood, which has prompted considerable research work in the biomaterials community during the last decade. This review comprehensively covers literature reports which have investigated specifically the effect of dissolution products of silicate bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics in relation to osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Particularly, recent advances made in fabricating dense biomaterials and scaffolds doped with trace elements (e.g. Zn, Sr, Mg, and Cu) and investigations on the effect of these elements on the scaffold biological performance are summarized and discussed in detail. Clearly, the biological response to artificial materials depends on many parameters such as chemical composition, topography, porosity and grain size. This review, however, focuses only on the ion release kinetics of the materials and the specific effect of the released ionic dissolution products on human cell behaviour, providing also a scope for future investigations and identifying specific research needs to advance the field. The biological performance of pure and doped silicate glasses, phosphate based glasses with novel specific compositions as well as several other silicate based compounds are discussed in detail. Cells investigated in the reviewed articles include human osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells as well as endothelial cells and stem cells.

Abstract
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a juvenile form of osteonecrosis of the femoral head that presents in children aged 2-14 years. To date, there is no effective medical therapy for treating LCPD largely due to an inability to modulate the repair process, including the predominance of bone resorption. This investigation aims to evaluate the feasibility of using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) that are surface modified with a bisphosphonate compound for the treatment of osteonecrosis at the cellular level. Studies have found osteoclast-mediated resorption to be a process that contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of femoral head deformities arising from Perthes disease. Our in vitro model was designed to elucidate the effect of alendronate-(a bisphosphonate) modified GNPs, on osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast function. RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were cultured with recombinant mouse receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), which stimulates osteoclastogenesis, and were then treated with alendronate-modified GNPs for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cell proliferation, osteoclast function, and osteoclast morphology were evaluated by trypan blue dye exclusion assay, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. Comparative studies were performed with GNPs that were only stabilized with citrate ions and with alendronate alone. Neither osteoclastogenesis nor osteoclast function were adversely affected by the presence of the citrate-GNP. Alendronate-modified GNPs had an enhanced effect on inducing osteoclast apoptosis and impairing osteoclast function when compared to unbound alendronate populations.

Abstract
In this article, a concise review of the current literature on metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoMHR) is given. In contrast to conventional total hip arthroplasty, older age, female sex and small femoral head sizes predispose to failure. Neck fracture and metal wear-related complications account for the most frequent reasons for re-operations. Although the long-term consequences of metal ion release remain unknown, the increasing prevalence of soft tissue related problems with potentially devastating functional consequences in this younger patient group are of concern. Outcome after revision for metal wear related failure of MoMHR is poor. In our opinion, patients with this device should be managed in dedicated centers with facilities for data collection and monitoring. The majority of proposed advantages of MoMHR cannot be supported by the published evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Collagen barrier membranes (CBM) are used for guided bone regeneration to support the process of graft consolidation. It remains, unknown however, whether CBM can affect the consolidation of bone grafts by controlling the differentiation of progenitor cells into bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS To gain an insight into the underlying mechanisms, we performed in vitro bone marrow cultures on CBM (Bio-Gide under conditions that favor osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis, respectively. Measures of osteoclastogenesis were based on the number of tartrate-resistant acid-phosphatase-positive (TRAP+) multinucleated cells. Resorption assays revealed the activity of mature osteoclasts. Osteoblastogenesis was determined by alkaline-phosphatase activity. Viability was investigated utilizing the MTT assay. RESULTS Cultivation of murine bone marrow on CBM reduced the number of TRAP+ multinucleated cells compared with cultures on tissue culture plates. Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis was observed on the porous and the dense CBM surfaces. The majority of TRAP+ cells were mononucleated and the decreased osteoclastogenesis was not due to changes in cell viability. Furthermore, CBM are inert regarding the resorptive activity of mature osteoclasts. Moreover, osteoblastogenesis was not reduced when bone marrow cells were grown on the surface of CBM. CONCLUSIONS These in vitro findings demonstrate that CBM can reduce the formation but not the activity of multinucleated osteoclasts. Our data further reveal that the formation of osteogenic cells from their progenitors is not reduced by the CBM. Overall, our results suggest that the beneficial effects of CBM during graft consolidation may involve their direct impact on osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether zoledronate (ZOL) can cause a cytotoxic response in dental pulp-derived cells (DPCs) in vitro. METHODOLOGY Cell activity was assessed utilizing MTT tests, (3) [H]thymidine, and (3) [H]leucine incorporation assays in human DPCs in response to ZOL. Cell activity assays were also preformed on calcium phosphate-coated plates. Cell death was analysed with annexin V/propidium iodide, trypan blue staining and Western blot analysis. RESULTS Micromolar concentrations of ZOL were required to decrease the activity of DPCs. The decreased activity of DPCs was associated with the occurrence of apoptosis and necrosis. No adverse effects were observed when DPCs were cultured on calcium phosphate-coated plates with ZOL. CONCLUSION High concentrations of soluble ZOL were required to cause adverse effects in vitro. These adverse effects are abolished when the bisphosphonate was bound to a mineralized surface. However, the clinical relevance of these results remains to be determined.

Abstract
Hypoxia and the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factor regulate angiogenic-osteogenic coupling and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. To determine how HIF might coordinate osteoclast and osteoblast function, we studied angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), the top HIF target gene in an Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 48k array of normoxic vs. hypoxic osteoclasts differentiated from human CD14+ monocytes (14.3-fold induction, P<0.0004). ANGPTL4 mRNA and protein were induced by 24 h at 2% O2 in human primary osteoclasts, monocytes, and osteoblasts. ANGPTL4 protein was observed by immunofluorescence in osteoclasts and osteoblasts in vivo. Normoxic inducers of HIF (CoCl2, desferrioxamine, and l-mimosine) and 100 ng/ml ANGPTL4 stimulated osteoclastic resorption 2- to 3-fold in assays of lacunar dentine resorption, without affecting osteoclast viability. Isoform-specific HIF-1α small interfering RNA ablated hypoxic induction of ANGPTL4 and of resorption, which was rescued by addition of exogenous ANGPTL4 (P<0.001). In the osteoblastic Saos2 cell line, ANGPTL4 caused a dose-dependent increase in proliferation (P<0.01, 100 ng/ml) and, at lower doses (1–25 ng/ml), mineralization. These results demonstrate that HIF is sufficient to enhance osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and that ANGPTL4 can compensate for HIF-1α deficiency with respect to stimulation of osteoclast activity and also augments osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.—Knowles, H.

Abstract
This study describes a medium-throughput system based on deposition of calcium phosphate films in multi-well tissue culture plates that can be used to study the effect of inorganic additives on the behavior of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in a standardized manner. All tested elements, copper, zinc, strontium, fluoride and carbonate were homogenously deposited into calcium phosphate films in varying concentrations by using a biomimetic approach. The additives affected morphology and composition of calcium phosphate films to different extent, depending on the concentration used. The effect on proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts depended on the compound and concentration tested. In general, copper and zinc ions showed an inhibitory effect on osteoblast proliferation, the effect of strontium was concentration dependent, whereas films containing fluoride and carbonate, respectively, augmented osteoblast proliferation. Copper and zinc had no effect or were mild inhibitory on osteoblast differentiation, while strontium, fluoride and carbonate ions demonstrated a clear decrease in differentiation in comparison to the control films without additives. Primary osteoclasts cultured on calcium phosphate films containing additives showed a significantly decreased resorptive activity as compared to the control, independent on the element incorporated. No cytotoxic effect of the elements in the concentrations tested was observed. The system presented in this study mimics bone mineral containing trace elements, making it useful for studying fundamental processes of bone formation and turnover. The present results can be used for modifying bone graft substitutes by addition of inorganic additives in order to affect their performance in bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Exposed necrotic alveolar bone is a hallmark of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. However, it is unknown whether zoledronate causes soft-tissue damage via adverse actions toward periodontal fibroblasts. We therefore examined whether zoledronate causes a cytotoxic response in fibroblasts isolated from the gingiva and the periodontal ligament. We report that micromolar concentrations of zoledronate and serum-free conditions decreased cell activity, as measured by assays for formazan formation, proliferation, and protein synthesis. Under these conditions, periodontal fibroblasts underwent apoptosis and necrosis, as indicated by cleavage of PARP and membrane disruption, respectively. However, these adverse effects of zoledronate were mitigated by the presence of serum. Moreover, zoledronate bound to calcium phosphate failed to reduce cell activity. Analysis of these data suggests that the cytotoxic responses of periodontal fibroblasts require high concentrations of zoledronate and depend on the in vitro experimental conditions. Whether these findings translate into soft-tissue damage will require further investigation.

Could insertion of the particles that induce osteolysis be a new treatment option in heterotopic ossification? Med Hypotheses 2009; 73:27-8. [PMID: 19342182 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2009.02.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2009] [Revised: 02/18/2009] [Accepted: 02/18/2009] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of the bone outside the skeletal system, it is a common complication of surgery or trauma. The abnormal deposition or precipitation of calcium phosphate in tissues may be massive and clinically significant sometimes. Severe ossification often reduce joint function and induce pain. Unfortunately, to date, there is no satisfactory treatment available yet. Nowadays, periprosthetic osteolysis induced by wear debris is the most widely accepted cause of aseptic loosening after total joint replacement. A large number of researches have identified metal particles can stimulate bone resorption by targeting osteoclasts. So it is hypothesized that the insertion of metal particles in the region surrounding heterotopic bone could be a new treatment option in HO.
