Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteolysis is one of the most common problems that occurs after total hip and knee arthroplasty and has recently become a significant problem after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). In this study, we investigated the role of LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-β (Lmx1b) in osteoclast differentiation. By evaluating the expression profiles associated with osteolysis following TAA treatment, Lmx1b was found to be differentially expressed in patients with osteolysis after TAA. METHODS To identify the important genes associated with osteolysis after TAA, RNA sequencing was performed by analyzing 8 patient samples: 5 primary TAA samples (control group) and 3 TAA samples revised for flexion instability (osteolysis group). By analyzing the differentially expressed genes and gene ontologies, Lmx1b expression was found to be upregulated in the osteolysis group compared to that in the control group. Focusing on the role of Lmx1b in bone cells, Lmx1b was overexpressed by a retrovirus in osteoclast precursor cells. The cultured cells were stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and the expression of osteoclast-related genes was analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Lmx1b overexpression in osteoclast precursors suppresses osteoclast formation and resorptive activity. The expression of osteoclast marker genes was significantly reduced during osteoclast differentiation by Lmx1b overexpression. Furthermore, Lmx1b is associated with nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) and inhibited NFATc1 translocation into the nucleus. CONCLUSIONS These results provide novel insights into the anti-bone resorptive effect of Lmx1b on osteolysis after TAA and may lead to the development of effective preventative and therapeutic strategies for peri-implant osteolysis.

Abstract
Wear particles generated between the interface of joints and artificial joint replacements are one of the primary causes of aseptic loosening. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of titanium (Ti) particles on the apoptosis and autophagy of osteoblasts, and probe into the potential use of hyperoside (Hy) as a protector for osteoblasts in Ti particle-induced injury. MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into control, Ti, Hy-1+Ti and Hy-2+Ti groups. Cell viability was detected using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Apoptosis and autophagy rates were determined using flow cytometry. Expression levels of apoptosis-associated genes, including caspase-3, apoptosis regulator BAX, apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 and cellular tumor antigen p53, in addition to autophagy-associated genes, including Beclin1 and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 conversion LC3-II/I, were measured using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Activation of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 (TWEAK)-mitogen activated protein kinase 11 (p38) mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was observed by western blotting. The present study demonstrated that pretreatment with Hy was able to increase cell viability and proliferation, and decrease apoptosis and autophagy to protect MC3T3-E1 cells against Ti particle-induced damage. Activation of the TWEAK-p38 pathway contributed to the repair processes of treatment with Hy. The present results suggested that Hy protected osteoblasts against Ti particle-induced damage by regulating the TWEAK-p38 pathway, which suggested the potential of Hy as a protective agent for bones.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ, the bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts form the physiological basis of bone remodeling process. During pathological process of numerous inflammatory diseases, these two aspects are uncoupled and the balance is usually tipped in favor of bone destruction. Evidence suggests that the inflammatory destruction of bone is mainly attributed to oxidative stress and is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction. The mechanisms underlying osteogenic dysfunction in inflammation still need further investigation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular damage. Here, we reported an unexplored role of cyclophilin D (CypD), the major modulator of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and the CypD-mPTP axis in inflammation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and bone damage. And the protective effects of knocking down CypD by siRNA interference or the addition of cyclosporin A (CsA), an inhibitor of CypD, were evidenced by rescued mitochondrial function and osteogenic function of osteoblast under tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) treatment. These findings provide new insights into the role of CypD-mPTP-dependent mitochondrial pathway in the inflammatory bone injury. The protective effect of CsA or other moleculars affecting the mPTP formation may hold promise as a potential novel therapeutic strategy for inflammation-induced bone damage via mitochondrial pathways.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening is the most common cause of total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure, and osteolysis induced by wear particles plays a major role in aseptic loosening. Various pathways in multiple cell types contribute to the pathogenesis of osteolysis, but the role of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which can regulate inflammatory responses through its deacetylation, has never been investigated. We hypothesized that the downregulation of SIRT1 in macrophages induced by metal nanoparticles was one of the reasons for osteolysis in THA failure. In this study, the expression of SIRT1 was examined in macrophages stimulated with metal nanoparticles from materials used in prosthetics and in specimens from patients suffering from aseptic loosening. To address whether SIRT1 downregulation triggers these inflammatory responses, the effects of the SIRT1 activator resveratrol on the expression of inflammatory cytokines in metal nanoparticle-stimulated macrophages were tested. The results demonstrated that SIRT1 expression was significantly downregulated in metal nanoparticle-stimulated macrophages and clinical specimens of prosthesis loosening. Pharmacological activation of SIRT1 dramatically reduced the particle-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines in vitro and osteolysis in vivo. Furthermore, SIRT1 regulated particle-induced inflammatory responses through nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) acetylation. Thus, the results of this study suggest that SIRT1 plays a key role in metal nanoparticle-induced inflammatory responses and that targeting the SIRT1 pathway may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of aseptic prosthesis loosening.

Abstract
Although previous studies have implicated pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), to be detrimental for osteogenic activity, the related regulatory mechanisms are not yet fully validated. Since mitochondria host several essential metabolic processes and play a pivotal role in cellular functions, whether and how mitochondrial function contributes to inflammation-induced bone destruction needs further exploration. Our findings revealed that TNF-α impaired osteoblast function, including decreased mRNA levels of osteogenic markers, suppressed ALP expression and activity, and compromised cellular viability. Moreover, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress in the TNF-α-treated group enhanced excessive mitochondrial fragmentation and disrupted mitochondrial function. However, treatment with antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or mitochondrial division inhibitor Mdivi-1 protected the cells from these adverse phenomena. These findings provide new insights into the role of the Drp1-dependent mitochondrial pathway in the osteogenic dysfunction during inflammation, indicating that this pathway may be a target for the development of new therapeutic approaches for the prevention and treatment of inflammation-induced bone destruction.

Abstract
We hypothesized that SIRT1 downregulation in osteoblasts induced by wear particles was one of the reasons for particle-induced osteolysis (PIO) in total joint arthroplasty failure. In the present study, the expression of SIRT1 was examined in osteoblasts treated with TiAl6V4 particles (TiPs) and CoCrMo particles (CoPs) from materials used in prosthetics and specimens from PIO animal models. To address whether SIRT1 downregulation triggers inflammatory responses and apoptosis in osteoblasts, the effect of a SIRT1 activator, resveratrol on the expression of inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in particle-treated osteoblasts was tested. The results demonstrated that SIRT1 expression was significantly downregulated in particle-treated osteoblasts and PIO animal models. Both pharmacological activation and overexpression of SIRT1 dramatically reduced the particle-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines and osteoblast apoptosis through NF-κB and p53 signaling, respectively. Furthermore, in PIO animal models, resveratrol significantly reduced the severity of osteolysis. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that SIRT1 plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening, and further treatment targeted at SIRT1 possibly lead to novel approaches for prevention of aseptic prosthesis loosening. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Aseptic loosening is the most common cause of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure and revision surgery. However, there is still no effective therapeutic target in the clinical treatment. Besides, the underlying mechanism of aseptic loosening is largely unknown. The result of our study indicated that SIRT1 has the ability to effectively regulate the wear particle-induced inflammatory responses, apoptosis, osteolysis in particle-stimulated osteoblasts and particle-induced osteolysis animal models. Our study provides a potential target for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening and further investigated the underlying mechanism of aseptic loosening, which may make contribution to decrease the incidence of THA and TKA failure in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Wear particle-induced osteolysis is the leading cause of aseptic loosening, which is the most common reason for THA (total hip arthroplasty) failure and revision surgery. Although existing studies suggest that osteoblast apoptosis induced by wear debris is involved in aseptic loosening, the underlying mechanism linking wear particles to osteoblast apoptosis remains almost totally unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of autophagy on osteoblast apoptosis induced by CoCrMo metal particles (CoPs) in vitro and in a calvarial resorption animal model. Our study demonstrated that CoPs stimulated autophagy in osteoblasts and PIO (particle-induced osteolysis) animal models. Both autophagy inhibitor 3-MA (3-methyladenine) and siRNA of Atg5 could dramatically reduce CoPs-induced apoptosis in osteoblasts. Further, inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA ameliorated the severity of osteolysis in PIO animal models. Moreover, 3-MA also prevented osteoblast apoptosis in an antiautophagic way when tested in PIO model. Collectively, these results suggest that autophagy plays a key role in CoPs-induced osteolysis and that targeting autophagy-related pathways may represent a potential therapeutic approach for treating particle-induced peri-implant osteolysis.

Abstract
Peri-prosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening is the most common reason for revising total hip replacements. Wear particles originating from the prosthetic components interact with multiple cell types in the peri-prosthetic region resulting in an inflammatory process that ultimately leads to peri-prosthetic bone loss. These cells include macrophages, osteoclasts, osteoblasts and fibroblasts. The majority of research in peri-prosthetic osteolysis has concentrated on the role played by osteoclasts and macrophages. The purpose of this review is to assess the role of the osteoblast in peri-prosthetic osteolysis. In peri-prosthetic osteolysis, wear particles may affect osteoblasts and contribute to the osteolytic process by two mechanisms. First, particles and metallic ions have been shown to inhibit the osteoblast in terms of its ability to secrete mineralised bone matrix, by reducing calcium deposition, alkaline phosphatase activity and its ability to proliferate. Secondly, particles and metallic ions have been shown to stimulate osteoblasts to produce pro inflammatory mediators in vitro. In vivo, these mediators have the potential to attract pro-inflammatory cells to the peri-prosthetic area and stimulate osteoclasts to absorb bone. Further research is needed to fully define the role of the osteoblast in peri-prosthetic osteolysis and to explore its potential role as a therapeutic target in this condition.

Abstract
The leading complication of total joint replacement is periprosthetic osteolysis, which often results in aseptic loosening of the implant, leading to revision surgery. Extracellular matrix degradation and connective tissue remodeling around implants have been considered as major biological events in the periprosthetic loosening. Critical mediators of wear particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis released by periprosthetic synovial cells (mainly macrophages) are inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and proteolytic enzymes, mainly matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Numerous studies reveal a strong interdependence of MMP expression and activity with the molecular mechanisms that control the composition and turnover of periprosthetic matrices. MMPs can either actively modulate or be modulated by the molecular mechanisms that determine the debris-induced remodeling of the periprosthetic microenvironment. In the present study, the molecular mechanisms that control the composition, turnover, and activity of matrix macromolecules within the periprosthetic microenvironment exposed to wear debris are summarized and presented. Special emphasis is given to MMPs and their endogenous tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), as well as to the proteasome pathway, which appears to be an elegant molecular regulator of specific matrix macromolecules (including specific MMPs and TIMPs). Furthermore, strong rationale for potential clinical applications of the described molecular mechanisms to the treatment of periprosthetic loosening and osteolysis is provided.

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
The aim of this work was to investigate in vitro the biological events leading to ectopic bone formation in contact with microporous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics. After implantation, microparticles may arise from their degradation and induce an inflammatory response involving macrophages. The secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines may affect the differentiation of osteoblasts. Mouse macrophage-like (J774) and osteoblast-like (MC3T3-E1) cells were cultured in the presence of BCP microparticles of different sizes (<20, 40-80, or 80-200 microm). The smallest microparticles decreased the viability of both cell types as measured with LDH and methyl tetrazolium salt assays, and enhanced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-alpha) by macrophages after 24 h, as revealed by ELISA. Osteoblastic cells were then cultured for 96 h in the presence of these pro-inflammatory cytokines and their differentiation studied by RT-PCR. MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with TNF-alpha showed a decrease in osterix, PTH receptor (PTHR1), and osteocalcin gene expression. On the contrary, IL-6 enhanced the expression of osterix, Runx2, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin compared with plastic. In conclusion, this study shows that the inflammatory response initiated by BCP microparticles may have both detrimental and beneficial effects on osteogenesis.

Abstract
Over the last decade, bone engineered tissues have been developed as alternatives to autografts and allografts to repair and reconstruct bone defects. This article provides a review of the current technologies in bone tissue engineering. Factors used for fabrication of three-dimensional bone scaffolds such as materials, cells, and biomolecular signals, as well as required properties for ideal bone scaffolds, are reviewed. In addition, current fabrication techniques including rapid prototyping are elaborated upon. Finally, this review article further discusses some effective strategies to enhance cell ingrowth in bone engineered tissues; for example, nanotopography, biomimetic materials, embedded growth factors, mineralization, and bioreactors. In doing so, it suggests that there is a possibility to develop bone substitutes that can repair bone defects and promote new bone formation for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are widely used as implant materials for dental and orthopaedic applications. To improve their wear and corrosion resistance, several surface modifications that give rise to an outer ceramic layer of rutile have been developed. It is expected that after a long period of functional loading, rutile debris will arise from these modified surfaces. We have compared the in vitro biocompatibility of subcytotoxic doses of rutile and titanium particles of phagocytosable size in primary cultures of human osteoblasts. Particles were visualized using a spectral confocal microscope by reflection. Both types of particles aggregated in the culture media and were efficiently internalized by osteoblasts as agglomerates. Treatment of isolated cultures of osteoblasts with rutile particles stimulated the release of IL-6, PGE2, and GM-CSF to a lesser extent than titanium. The influence of macrophages on the particle-induced stimulation of those local factors was analyzed by coculturing TPA-differentiated THP-1 cells with osteoblasts. Under these conditions, levels of IL-6 and PGE2 after treatment of cocultured osteoblasts with rutile particles were lower than after exposure to titanium. These results indicate that rutile debris shows a lower bioreactivity than titanium when tested in cultures of human osteoblasts and support the improved biocompatibility of titanium-based implants modified to create an outer layer of rutile on their surfaces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) aceclofenac, piroxicam, tenoxicam and indomethacin on cytokine, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, by interface membranes (IFT), obtained at revision surgery for aseptic loosening of total joint arthroplasty. Involvement of these soluble factors is well documented and probably, a pharmaceutically induced inhibition of them might retard loosening. METHODS IFTs from 10 patients with a loose hip or knee endoprosthesis were collected. The possibility of septic loosening was thoroughly excluded by histopathologic and microbiologic evaluation. IFTs were cultured in the absence or presence of the tested drugs and the levels of the soluble mediators were determined, using electrophoretic and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques. Paracetamol was used as neutral drug. RESULTS All NSAIDs exhibited a pronounced inhibitory effect upon the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This specific effect on IL-6 is reported in the literature for the first time. The majority of NSAIDs also induced the production of IL-1beta in an adequate portion of samples. These drugs did not have a clear effect on MMP synthesis, but they had a stimulatory tendency on TIMP-1 production. Paracetamol, significantly decreased the synthesis of TNF-alpha and that of the gelatinases. CONCLUSION Our in vitro results are encouraging, since it appears that the action of NSAIDs, globally considered, may be beneficial upon the loosening process. The inhibitory effect of paracetamol upon TNF-alpha and gelatinases is intriguing. Our data, if supported by similar observations, probably justify performance of long-term clinical trials.

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
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of alumina particles on secretion of several cytokines involved in bone resorption in cocultures of macrophages and osteoblasts. To distinguish the contribution of each individual cell type, we have established a heterologous in vitro system that makes use of mouse J774 cells and primary cultured human osteoblasts. J744 cells decreased the production of TNF-alpha when they were cocultured with osteoblasts. Treatment of J744 cells with alumina particles increased TNF-alpha secretion, but the induction was lower when cells were cocultured with osteoblasts. Secretion of IL-6 by J744 cells was very low, and increased in the presence of osteoblasts. Alumina particles were only able to stimulate the release of IL-6 by J744 cells when cells were cocultured with osteoblasts. On the other hand, incubation of osteoblasts with alumina particles enhanced the release of IL-6 and GM-CSF. Coculturing osteoblasts with J744 cells induced them to release IL-6 and GM-CSF, and treatment with alumina further increased the secretion of both mediators by osteoblasts. According to these in vitro results, it seems rather plausible that alumina particles are able to initiate an inflammatory response in vivo.

Abstract
Authors of previous studies have found that culture-based detection of prosthetic hip infections can be improved by adherence to strict anaerobic protocols and mild ultrasonication of retrieved prostheses to remove bacteria growing as an adherent biofilm. Furthermore, direct analyses of sonicate samples by immunofluorescence microscopy (with genus-specific and species-specific monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antisera) produces significantly greater and more rapid detection rates for infection compared with culture alone. Despite its diagnostic value within a research setting, the practical advantages and limitations of immunofluorescence microscopy for a busy diagnostic laboratory needs consideration. In addition, the method must be evaluated against other nonculture-based techniques that may prove more appropriate. In this review, we describe how immunofluorescence microscopy presents an attractive and reliable method for routine detection of prosthetic hip biofilms compared, primarily, to polymerase chain reaction, although other nonculture methods of diagnosis based on fluorescent in situ hybridization and serologic analysis are considered. We describe how the immunofluorescence microscopy technique is robust, relatively simple and, in contrast to broad-range 16S recombinant-deoxyribonucleic-acid-based polymerase chain reaction, does not require a separate clean-room facility or strict adherence to aseptic techniques. More importantly we highlight how dislodged biofilm, which appears as large aggregates of bacteria, easily can be identified from skin contaminants that occur as single cells or small aggregates of only a few cells.

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
Although aseptic loosening of the prosthesis is a long-term complication after total joint replacement, the detailed mechanism of osteolysis remains unknown. We examined 82 samples from 40 patients with aseptic loosened hip prostheses histologically, and compared the distribution of particles, macrophages/histiocytes, and foreign body giant cells in the retrieved tissue from capsules and around prostheses. Furthermore, to investigate the mechanism of osteolysis, we cultured tissue from a patient with massive osteolysis and examined the effects of the conditioned medium on osteoblasts in vitro. Numerous multinucleated giant cells and histiocytes were present, and polyethylene particles ranging from medium to large were identified in the polarized light. However, the distribution was heterogeneous, and no particles were found microscopically in about 30%-40% of periprosthetic tissues, and in 60% of capsules. The amount of particles correlated with giant cells, but not with histiocytes. The conditioned medium of the granulation tissue culture stimulated osteoblasts to produce interleukin-6 in both protein and mRNA, and this was in part inhibited by anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha or the interleukin-1beta antibody, suggesting that interleukin-6 production is mediated by several cytokines. These findings suggest that interleukin-6, which is produced not only by macrophages but also by osteoblasts, is a contributing factor to aseptic loosening.

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
New nickel (Ni)-reduced stainless-steel metals have recently been developed to avoid sensitivity to Ni. In the present study, an austenitic Ni-reduced SSt named P558 (P558, Böhler, Milan, Italy) was studied in vitro on primary osteoblasts and in vivo after bone implantation in the sheep tibia, and was compared to ISO 5832-9 SSt (SSt) and Ti6Al4V. Cells were cultured directly on P558 and Ti6Al4V. Cells cultured on polystyrene were used as controls. Osteoblast proliferation, viability and synthetic activity were evaluated at 72 h by assaying WST1, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), nitric oxide, pro-collagen I (PICP), osteocalcin (OC), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) after 1.25(OH)2D3 stimulation. Under general anaesthesia, four sheep were submitted for bilateral tibial implantation of P558, SSt and Ti6Al4V rods. In vitro results demonstrated that the effect of P558 on osteoblast viability, PICP, TGF beta-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha production did not significantly differ from that exerted by Ti6Al4V and controls. Furthermore, P558 enhanced osteoblast differentiation, as confirmed by ALP and OC levels, and reduced IL-6 production. At 26 weeks, the bone-to-implant contact was higher in P558 than in SSt (28%, p<0.005) and Ti6Al4V (4%, p<0.05), and was higher in Ti6Al4V than in SSt (22%, p<0.005). The tested materials did not affect bone microhardness in pre-existing host bone as evidenced by the measurements taken at 1000 microm from the bone-biomaterial interface (F=1.89, ns). At the bone-biomaterial interface the lowest HV value was found for SSt, whereas no differences in HV were observed between materials (F=1.55, ns). The current findings demonstrate P558 biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo, and osteointegration processes are shown to be significantly improved by P558 as compared to the other materials tested.

Abstract
The incidence of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis is on the rise due to our expanding elderly population. Total joint arthroplasty is the most successful, prevalent treatment modality for these and other degenerative hip conditions. Despite the wide array of prosthetic devices commercially available, hip prostheses share a common problem with a gradual and then accelerating loss of bone tissue and bone-implant interface integrity, followed by implant instability and loosening. Implant failure is largely the result of inevitable wear of the device and generation of wear debris. To provide information for the development of improved prosthetic wear characteristics, we examined the effects of size-separated titanium particles on bone forming cell populations. We demonstrate unequivocally that particle size is a critical factor in the function, proliferation, and viability of bone-forming osteoblasts in vitro. In addition, we have elucidated the time-dependent distribution of the phagocytosed particles within the osteoblast, indicating an accumulation of particles in the perinuclear area of the affected cells. The report finds that particle size is a critical factor in changes in the bone formation-related functions of osteoblasts exposed to simulate wear debris, and that 1.5-4 microm titanium particles have the greatest effect on osteoblast proliferation and viability in vitro. The size of titanium particles generated through wear of a prosthetic device may be an important consideration in the development of superior implant technology.

Abstract
The effects of two surfaces with different roughness (Low Roughness, LR: Ra: 5.6-5.9 microm; High Roughness, HR: Ra: 21.5-22.5 microm), uncoated and fluorohydroxyapatite(FHA)-coated, were investigated in MG-63 osteoblasts. At 72 hours, cells proliferated on biomaterials more slowly than in the control group (p < 0.0001), the proliferation rate was higher on FHA-coated LR than uncoated HR (p = 0.037). Collagen-I production was positively affected by the LR surface (p = 0.001) as compared to controls, while it was significantly lower (p = 0.0001) in the HR surfaces. Compared to controls, LR and HR surfaces led to enhanced production of TGF-beta1, further improved by FHA (FHA-coated LR: p = 0.007; FHA-coated HR p < 0.0001 respectively). ALP, OC, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were not significantly different from the controls. Results suggest that collagen-I production could be useful in predicting the in vivo osteointegration rate of biocompatible biomaterials observed in previous studies.

To improve implant biocompatibility, we developed a simple cost-effective thermal surface treatment allowing an increase in the oxide layer thickness of a titanium (Ti) alloy used in orthopaedic implants. The goal of this study was to test in vitro the reaction of osteoblasts to the developed surface treatment and to compare it to the osteoblast reaction to two other surface treatments currently used in the practice of implant surgery. Quantification of osteoblast gene expression on a large scale was used in this study. The kinetics of gene expression over 120 h was followed for 58 genes to quantify the effect of the developed surface treatment. Twenty eight genes were further selected to compare the effects of surface treatments on osteoblasts. Based on the genes studied, we could propose a general pathway for the cell reaction according to the surface treatments used: (1) metal ion release changes the time course of gene expression in the FAK pathway; (2) once the accumulation of metal ions released from the Ti surface exceeds a threshold value, cell growth is diminished and apoptosis may be activated; (3) PTK up-regulation is also induced by metal ion release; (4) the expression of Bcl-2 family and Bax may suggest that metal ions induce apoptosis. The developed treatment seems to increase the Ti-6Al-4V biocompatibility as highlighted by the lower impact of this treatment by the different pathways studied, on the lower inflammatory reaction that could be induced, as well as by the lower induced osteoblast apoptosis compared to the two other surface treatments.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop new biocompatible coatings for bone implants by the alternating deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. Polyelectrolyte films were built up with different terminating layers on which SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells and human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells were grown. The terminating layer was made of one of the following polyelectrolytes: poly(ethylene imine) (PEI), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA), or poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Cell adherence, viability, stability of osteoblast phenotype, and inflammatory response were studied. Adherence and viability were good on all terminating layers except the PEI-terminating layer, which was cytotoxic. Maintenance of osteoblast phenotype marker expression was observed on PSS- and PGA-terminating films for both cell types, whereas downregulation, associated with the induction of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion, was detected on PEI and PAH for both cell types and on PLL for PDL cells. These results suggested a good biocompatibility of PSS- and PGA-ending films for PDL cells and of PSS-, PGA-, and PLL-terminating films for SaOS-2 cells. As a result, polyelectrolyte multilayer films could emerge as new alternatives for implant coatings.

Abstract
Macrophage activation was analyzed following exposure to pure, crystalline alpha-quartz powders, two bioactive gel-glass powders of different compositions, and a melt-derived glass, 45S5 Bioglass. The release of reactive oxygen metabolites (chemiluminescence test), modifications of cell morphology, the amount of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) secreted, and the amount of TNFalpha mRNA expression were evaluated. The 45S5 Bioglass powders elicited the highest chemiluminescence response while the two solgel glasses had a lower response with less of an oxidative burst difference between them. Particulate bioactive glasses are actively ingested by mouse peritoneal macrophages, and only the 58S solgel glass had a moderate toxic effect on the macrophages. Macrophage cell morphology showed increased size and cell spreading, consistent with the high level of cytokine secretion induced by 45S5 Bioglass. The 45S5 Bioglass powders led to an increased release of TNFalpha and expression of TNFalpha mRNA relative to unstimulated and control treated monocytes. Bioactive glasses (and particularly 45S5 Bioglass) that in vivo induce rapid bone growth appear to activate an autocrine-like process in which the response evoked by the material (for example monocyte and macrophage activation with cytokine production) enhances subsequent interactions with cells in contact with the material.

Abstract
Limited information is available on the responses of osteoblasts to wear debris, corrosion products, and cytokines and on the roles of altered osteoblast functions in the development of periprosthetic bone loss. Wear debris-challenged osteoblasts exhibit altered functions resulting in the loss of their capacity to produce bone matrix and to replace the resorbed bone. Also, osteoblasts may secrete cytokines, which act in a paracrine fashion to recruit inflammatory cells into the periprosthetic space and to stimulate osteoclastic bone resorption. These effects may be mediated in part by ionic metal dissolution products. We review the mechanisms by which altered osteoblast functions, in response to particulate wear debris, corrosion products, and cytokines and growth factors, may contribute to the development and the progression of periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Gap junctional intercellular communication is a function that plays an important role in maintaining cell and tissue homeostasis and in regulating cell growth, development, and differentiation. Change in this function when contacting fibroblasts with various polymer microspheres was estimated using the metabolic cooperation assay system. When the cells were in contact with the microspheres after their adhesion onto a substrate, the function did not alter. However, when they were in contact with precoated microspheres on test dishes, the function was inhibited as the quantity of microspheres increased. Moreover, the inhibition level increased as the diameters of polyethylene and polystyrene microspheres decreased. However, no inhibition was observed if precoated microspheres were composed from poly(L-lactic acid). These findings suggest that the size and the material of microspheres, and how cells recognize the microspheres, are factors affecting cell function of gap junctional intercellular communication. Therefore, estimating this function may provide valuable information about the biocompatibility of many kinds of materials even in the form of particles.
