Abstract
Bone is a specialized tissue formed by different cell types and a multiscale, complex mineralized matrix. The architecture and the surface chemistry of this microenvironment can be factors of considerable influence on cell biology, and can affect cell proliferation, commitment to differentiation, gene expression, matrix production and/or composition. It has been shown that osteoblasts encounter natural motifs in vivo, with various topographies (shapes, sizes, organization), and that cell cultures on flat surfaces do not reflect the total potential of the tissue. Therefore, studies investigating the role of topographies on cell behavior are important in order to better understand the interaction between cells and surfaces, to improve osseointegration processes in vivo between tissues and biomaterials, and to find a better topographic surface to enhance bone repair. In this review, we evaluate the main available data about surface topographies, techniques for topographies’ production, mechanical signal transduction from surfaces to cells and the impact of cell–surface interactions on osteoblasts or preosteoblasts’ behavior.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of administering diclofenac and ketoprofen, as well as the effects of environmental oxygen pressure variation on mandibular bone regeneration. Methods: Thirty-six guinea pigs were distributed into two equal groups. Mandibular bone defects were performed on both groups. Group A was monitored under oxygen pressure at altitude (3320msl, 107mm Hg). Group B was monitored at sea level oxygen pressure (150msl, 157mm Hg). Each group was subdivided into 3 equal groups (A1, A2, A3 and B1, B2, B3). Subgroups A1 and B1 were given diclofenac; subgroups A2 and B2 ketoprofen; subgroups A3 and B3 NaCl. Bone regeneration was evaluated histologically on days 15 and 30. Results: After 15 days in the group controlled at sea level, the level of osteoblasts presented by the control subgroup was significantly higher (28.00±2.65) compared to the diclofenac subgroup (16.00±6.25) and to the ketoprofen subgroup (18.00±4.36); (p=0.041). After 15 days in the group controlled at altitude, the level of osteoblasts was significantly higher in the control subgroup (38.00±5.29) compared to the diclofenac subgroup (21.67±6.35) and to the ketoprofen subgroup (19.33±2.52); p=0.007. After 30 days in the group at sea level there was no difference found in the cell counting; p>0.05. After 30 days in the group controlled at altitude, the level of osteoblast was significantly higher in the control subgroup (58.00±4.58) compared to the diclofenac subgroup (34.33±4.73) and the ketoprofen subgroup (34.00±11.14); (p=0.003). Conclusion: The administration of diclofenac and ketoprofen produced lower mandibular bone regeneration, the effect being significantly more negative at sea level.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used in implant dentistry for management of post-operative pain. The objective of this systematic review was to analyse the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the osteogenic activity of osteoblasts with an emphasis on its effect on osseointegration. A systematic literature search for in vitro, animal models, and clinical trials was conducted using Ovid, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Articles published since the introduction of selective COX-2 inhibitors, between January 1999 and July 2018, were selected. The integrated search followed the PRISMA statement with the following key terms: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug/s, titanium, osseointegration, and osteoblast. The review is registered at PROSPERO database: CRD42016051448. The titles and abstracts of each research article in the initial search (n = 875) were independently screened by two reviewers. A third independent reviewer reviewed the articles that were included by one but excluded by the other reviewer. This resulted in the cataloguing of 79 full-text manuscripts where the articles were assessed for the following criteria: the study investigates the effects of NSAIDs on osteoblasts, explores the COX pathway and its effect on osteogenic activity, and compares the effects of NSAIDs on osteoblasts with a control group. A total of 13 articles have been included for qualitative synthesis. There is a lack of consensus in the literature to explicitly conclude that there is a relationship between the use of post-operative NSAIDs and failed osseointegration; however, osseointegration does not appear to be negatively affected by NSAIDs in the human clinical studies.

Human osteoblasts exhibit sexual dimorphism in their response to estrogen on microstructured titanium surfaces. Biol Sex Differ 2018; 9:30. [PMID: 29970177 PMCID: PMC6029108 DOI: 10.1186/s13293-018-0190-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osseointegration is dependent on the implant surface, surrounding bone quality, and the systemic host environment, which can differ in male and female patients. Titanium (Ti) implants with microstructured surfaces exhibit greater pullout strength when compared to smooth-surfaced implants and exhibit enhanced osteogenic cellular responses in vitro. Previous studies showed that 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] has a greater effect on rat osteoblast differentiation on microstructured Ti compared to smooth Ti surfaces and tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). The stimulatory effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on differentiation is observed in female osteoblasts on micro-rough Ti, but it is not known if male osteoblasts behave similarly in response to E2 and microtopography. This study assessed whether human male and female osteoblasts exhibit sex-specific differences in response to E2 and 1α,25(OH)2D3 when cultured on microstructured Ti surfaces. METHODS Osteoblasts from three male and three female human donors were cultured on Ti discs with varying surface profiles: a smooth pretreatment (PT), a coarse grit-blasted/acid-etched (SLA), and an SLA surface having undergone modification in a nitrogen environment and stored in saline to maintain hydrophilicity (modSLA). Cells cultured on these surfaces were treated with E2 or 1α,25(OH)2D3. RESULTS Male and female human osteoblasts responded similarly to microstructure although there were donor-specific differences; cell number decreased, and osteocalcin (OCN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and latent and active transforming growth factor 1 increased on SLA and modSLA compared to TCPS. Female osteoblasts had higher alkaline phosphatase activity and OCN production than male counterparts but produced less OPG. Both sexes responded similarly to 1α,25(OH)2D3. E2 treatment reduced cell number and increased osteoblast differentiation and factor production only in female cells. CONCLUSIONS Male and female human osteoblasts respond similarly to microstructure and 1α,25(OH)2D3 but exhibit sexual dimorphism in substrate-dependent responses to E2. E2 affected female osteoblasts, suggesting that signaling is sex-specific and surface-dependent. Donor osteoblasts varied in response, demonstrating the need to test multiple donors when examining human samples. Understanding how male and female cells respond to orthopedic biomaterials will enable greater predictability post-implantation as well as therapies that are more patient-specific.

Abstract
Varying geometry and layout of microposts on a cell culture substrate provides an effective technique for applying mechanical stimuli to living cells. In the current study, the optimal geometry and arrangement of microposts on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces to enhance cell growth behavior were investigated. Human bone marrow derived connective tissue progenitor cells were cultured on PDMS substrates comprising unpatterned smooth surfaces and cylindrical post microtextures that were 10 μm in diameter, 4 heights (5, 10, 20 and 40 μm) and 3 pitches (10, 20, and 40 μm). With the same 10 μm diameter, post heights ranging from 5 to 40 μm resulted in a more than 535 fold range of rigidity from 0.011 nNμm⁻¹ (40 μm height) up to 5.888 nNμm⁻¹(5 μm height). Even though shorter microposts result in higher effective stiffness, decreasing post heights below the optimal value, 5 μm height micropost in this study decreased cell growth behavior. The maximum number of cells was observed on the post microtextures with 20 μm height and 10 μm inter-space, which exhibited a 675 % increase relative to the smooth surfaces. The cells on all heights of post microtextures with 10 μm and 20 μm inter-spaces exhibited highly contoured morphology. Elucidating the cellular response to various external geometry cues enables us to better predict and control cellular behavior. In addition, knowledge of cell response to surface stimuli could lead to the incorporation of specific size post microtextures into surfaces of implants to achieve surface-textured scaffold materials for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology involves the use of materials with components, such as fibers, grains and particles, that have dimensions of less than 100 nm. While numerous advantages of nanomaterials have been elucidated for catalytic, processing, mechanical, electrical, and optical applications, few have been described for orthopedic applications. Better orthopedic biomaterials are needed since the average lifetime of a bone biomaterial is less than 15 years. This review discusses recent studies that have been conducted to determine the efficacy of nanophase materials as bone implants. In doing so, it is suggested that nanophase materials can be synthesized to possess similar nanometer dimensions to components of bone tissue to promote new bone formation, compared with conventional orthopedic implant materials.

Rough titanium alloys regulate osteoblast production of angiogenic factors. Spine J 2013; 13:1563-70.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and titanium-aluminum-vanadium (titanium alloy) are used frequently in lumbar spine interbody fusion. Osteoblasts cultured on microstructured titanium generate an environment characterized by increased angiogenic factors and factors that inhibit osteoclast activity mediated by integrin α2β1 signaling. It is not known if this is also true of osteoblasts on titanium alloy or PEEK. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine if osteoblasts generate an environment that supports angiogenesis and reduces osteoclastic activity when grown on smooth titanium alloy, rough titanium alloy, or PEEK. STUDY DESIGN This in vitro study compared angiogenic factor production and integrin gene expression of human osteoblast-like MG63 cells cultured on PEEK or titanium-aluminum-vanadium (titanium alloy). METHODS MG63 cells were grown on PEEK, smooth titanium alloy, or rough titanium alloy. Osteogenic microenvironment was characterized by secretion of osteoprotegerin and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), which inhibit osteoclast activity and angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), and angiopoietin-1 (ANG-1). Expression of integrins, transmembrane extracellular matrix recognition proteins, was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Culture on titanium alloy stimulated osteoprotegerin, TGF-β1, VEGF-A, FGF-2, and angiopoietin-1 production, and levels were greater on rough titanium alloy than on smooth titanium alloy. All factors measured were significantly lower on PEEK than on smooth or rough titanium alloy. Culture on titanium alloy stimulated expression of messenger RNA for integrins that recognize Type I collagen in comparison with PEEK. CONCLUSIONS Rough titanium alloy stimulated cells to create an osteogenic-angiogenic microenvironment. The osteogenic-angiogenic responses to titanium alloy were greater than PEEK and greater on rough titanium alloy than on smooth titanium alloy. Surface features regulated expression of integrins important in collagen recognition. These factors may increase bone formation, enhance integration, and improve implant stability in interbody spinal fusions.

Abstract
Surgeons are constantly looking for minimally invasive ways to treat their patients, as recovery is faster when a lesser trauma is inflicted upon a patient, scarring is lessened and there are usually fewer complications in the aftermath of the operation. Through nanotechnology, tiny biosensors could be constructed which could take these factors into account, thus shortening a patients recovery period and saving hospitals money, reducing infection rates within the hospital, reducing the waiting lists for operation and allowing doctors to treat more patients in the same period of time. One of the greatest achievements of nanotechnology in surgery will be what we call the "ideal graft"; that is, biocompatible and durable "repairs" of parts of the body like arteries, joints or even organs. At first, these repairs will be used for healing, but soon afterwards, they will be used for transcendence: to enhance current human abilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Multiple biomaterials are clinically available to spine surgeons for performing interbody fusion. Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is used frequently for lumbar spine interbody fusion, but alternative materials are also used, including titanium (Ti) alloys. Previously, we showed that osteoblasts exhibit a more differentiated phenotype when grown on machined or grit-blasted titanium aluminum vanadium (Ti6Al4V) alloys with micron-scale roughened surfaces than when grown on smoother Ti6Al4V surfaces or on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS). We hypothesized that osteoblasts cultured on rough Ti alloy substrates would present a more mature osteoblast phenotype than cells cultured on PEEK, suggesting that textured Ti6Al4V implants may provide a more osteogenic surface for interbody fusion devices. PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to compare osteoblast response to smooth Ti6Al4V (sTiAlV) and roughened Ti6Al4V (rTiAlV) with their response to PEEK with respect to differentiation and production of factors associated with osteogenesis. STUDY DESIGN This in vitro study compared the phenotype of human MG63 osteoblast-like cells cultured on PEEK, sTiAlV, or rTiAlV surfaces and their production of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). METHODS Surface properties of PEEK, sTiAlV, and rTiAlV discs were determined. Human MG63 cells were grown on TCPS and the discs. Confluent cultures were harvested, and cell number, alkaline phosphatase-specific activity, and osteocalcin were measured as indicators of osteoblast maturation. Expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) for BMP2 and BMP4 was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Levels of BMP2, BMP4, and BMP7 proteins were also measured in the conditioned media of the cell cultures. RESULTS Although roughness measurements for sTiAlV (S(a)=0.09±0.01), PEEK (S(a)=0.43±0.07), and rTiAlV (S(a)=1.81±0.51) varied, substrates had similar contact angles, indicating comparable wettability. Cell morphology differed depending on the surface. Cells cultured on Ti6Al4V had lower cell number and increased alkaline phosphatase specific activity, osteocalcin, BMP2, BMP4, and BMP7 levels in comparison to PEEK. In particular, roughness significantly increased the mRNA levels of BMP2 and BMP4 and secreted levels of BMP4. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that rTiAlV substrates increase osteoblast maturation and produce an osteogenic environment that contains BMP2, BMP4, and BMP7. The results show that modifying surface structure is sufficient to create an osteogenic environment without addition of exogenous factors, which may induce better and faster bone during interbody fusion.

Abstract
It is known that the roughness of titanium surfaces affects cell proliferation and differentiation. However, the mechanisms mediating the cellular responses to surface topography are only partially understood. The present study investigated whether Wnt canonical signaling, an important pathway in determining cell fate, is modulated by surface roughness. This study analyzed the behavior of the murine C2C12 mesenchymal cell line on polished or acid-etched, sand-blasted (SLA) commercially pure titanium. When we transfected cells with Wnt3a or wild-type β-catenin and a reporter construct, we found that stimulation of Wnt canonical signaling was enhanced in cells on SLA surfaces. Moreover, more β-catenin translocated to the nucleus in cells on SLA surfaces after stimulation with Wnt3a as evidenced by immunofluorescence. However, when cells were transfected with constitutively active S33Y β-catenin mutant, no difference was observed between the groups. Higher levels of transcripts of Wnt target genes were detected in C2C12 cells cultured on SLA surfaces following transfection with Wnt3a, but the expression of a gene regulating β-catenin degradation, Axin 2, was reduced on SLA surfaces. Inhibition of β-catenin mediated transcription by dnTCF in murine osteoblastic MC3T3 cells, reversed the effects of topography on cell differentiation. Taken together, these results show that surface roughness modulates the responsiveness of mesenchymal cells to Wnt3a, that this requires the control of β-catenin degradation, and that the control of β-catenin signaling by surface topography is accountable for at least part of the effects of surface on cell differentiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of a chemical modification of the SLA surface (SLActive surface) on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (hMSCs) on; (1) adhesion, (2) proliferation and (3) early transcriptional control of osteogenic differentiation was investigated. We are based on the hypothesis that expression patterns of genes responsible for osteogenesis might be dependent on the characteristics of the implant surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS hMSCs were allowed to grow on smooth (SMO-control), SLA and SLActive implant surfaces (chemically modified). Cell attachment and proliferation were assessed at 3 and 24 h using a MTT dye reduction assay. At 24 h of culture, DNA microarray analysis examined alterations in early gene expression using a human osteogenesis gene array, including 109 cDNAs in quadruplicates of major regulatory genes for osteogenesis. RESULTS Initial attachment and proliferation were found to be significantly reduced. Nineteen genes were significantly upregulated when hMSCs were cultured on the SLA surfaces and 27 genes were significantly upregulated when hMSCs were cultured on the SLActive surfaces. Upregulated genes control cell differentiation, signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix and bone formation. DISCUSSION Chemical modification decreases further cell attachment and proliferation and upregulates early osteoblastic differentiation genes. Hence, a microenvironment is created around chemically modified implants that may enhance osseointegration.

Abstract
Background Osseointegration depends on the implant surface, bone quality and the local and systemic host environment, which can differ in male and female patients. This study was undertaken in order to determine if male and female cells respond differently to titanium surfaces that have micron-scale roughness and if interactions of calciotropic hormones [1α,25(OH)2D3 and 17β-oestradiol (E2)] and microstructured surfaces on osteoblasts are sex dependent. Methods Osteoblasts from 6-week old Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured on tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) or on titanium (Ti) disks with two different surface topographies, a smooth pretreated (PT) surface and a coarse grit-blasted/acid-etched (SLA) surface, and treated with 1α,25(OH)2D3, E2, or E2 conjugated to bovine serum albumin (E2-BSA). Results Male and female cells responded similarly to Ti microstructure with respect to cell number and levels of osteocalcin, transforming growth factor-β1, osteoprotegerin and prostaglandin E2 in their conditioned media, exhibiting a more differentiated phenotype on SLA than on PT or TCPS. E2 and E2-BSA increased differentiation and local factor production, an effect that was microstructure dependent and found only in female osteoblasts. 1α,25(OH)2D3 increased osteoblast differentiation and local factor production in female and male cells, but the effect was more robust in male cells. Conclusions Male and female rat osteoblasts respond similarly to surface microstructure but exhibit sexual dimorphism in substrate-dependent responses to systemic hormones. Oestrogen affected only female cells while 1α,25(OH)2D3 had a greater effect on male cells. These results suggest that successful osseointegration in males and females may depend on the implant surface design and correct levels of calciotropic hormones.

Abstract
Biomaterial surface properties such as microtopography and energy can change cellular responses at the cell-implant interface. Phospholipase D (PLD) is required for the differentiation of osteoblast-like MG63 cells on machined and grit-blasted titanium surfaces. Here, we determined if PLD is also required on microstructured/high-energy substrates and the mechanism involved. shRNAs for human PLD1 and PLD2 were used to silence MG63 cells. Wild-type and PLD1 or PLD1/2 silenced cells were cultured on smooth-pretreatment surfaces (PT); grit-blasted, acid-etched surfaces (SLA); and SLA surfaces modified to have higher surface energy (modSLA). PLD was inhibited with ethanol or activated with 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D(3) [24R,25(OH)(2)D(3)]. As surface roughness/energy increased, PLD mRNA and activity increased, cell number decreased, osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin increased, and protein kinase C (PKC) and alkaline phosphatase specific activities increased. Ethanol inhibited PLD and reduced surface effects on these parameters. There was no effect on these parameters after knockdown of PLD1, but PLD1/2 double knockdown had effects comparableto PLD inhibition. 24R,25(OH)(2)D(3) increased PLD activity and the production of osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin, but decreased cell number on the rough/high-energy surfaces. These results confirm that surface roughness/energy-induced PLD activity is required for osteoblast differentiation and that PLD2 is the main isoform involved in this pathway. PLD is activated by 24R,25(OH)(2)D(3) in a surface-dependent manner and inhibition of PLD reduces the effects of surface microstructure/energy on PKC, suggesting that PLD mediates the stimulatory effect of microstructured/high-energy surfaces via PKC-dependent signaling.

Abstract
The influence of surface microtexture on osteogenesis was investigated in vitro by examining the proliferation and differentiation characteristics of a class of adult stem cells and their progeny, collectively known as connective tissue progenitor cells (CTPs). Human bone marrow-derived CTPs were cultured for up to 60 days on smooth polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces and on PDMS with post microtextures that were 10 microm in diameter and 6 microm in height, with 10 microm separation. DNA quantification revealed that the numbers of CTPs initially attached to both substrates were similar. However, cells on microtextured PDMS transitioned from lag phase after 4 days of culture, in contrast to 6 days for cells on smooth surfaces. By day 9 cells on the smooth surfaces exhibited arbitrary flattened shapes and migrated without any preferred orientation. In contrast, cells on the microtextured PDMS grew along the array of posts in an orthogonal manner. By days 30 and 60 cells grew and covered all surfaces with extracellular matrix. Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of integrin alpha5 was greater on the microtextured PDMS compared with smooth surfaces. Real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that gene expression of alkaline phosphatase had decreased by days 30 and 60, compared with that on day 9, for both substrates. Gene expression of collagen I and osteocalcin was consistently greater on post microtextures relative to smooth surfaces at all time points.

Abstract
The primary goal of this investigation was to develop a calcium phosphate film hybridized with 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) for the improvement of osteoconductivity of bone substitutes. The hybrid films (hCaP) were prepared at the different concentrations of 1 x 10(-10), 1 x 10(-8), and 1 x 10(-6) M designated as hCaPL, hCaPM, and hCaPH, respectively. The change of the hormone concentration during the preparation of the hybrid films did not cause significant variations on the physical properties of hCaPs, i.e. surface morphology and roughness. On the other hand, X-ray photon spectroscope (XPS) measurements revealed that the concentration change affected the chemical composition of the hybrid films. Recruitment of osteoblast-like MG-63 cells was considerably improved on hCaPs compared to tissue culture plate (TCP). However, cell proliferation on hCaPs was substantially suppressed and inversely proportional to the hormone concentration used. It was observed that bone-like nodules which consisted of bead-like components and well-developed matrix were rapidly formed on hCaPs. Masson's trichrome and safranin-O stainings elucidated that the bead-like components were MG-63 cells. Safranin-O staining showed that proteoglycan was produced actively. These results indicate that the cells cultured on hCaPs were strongly stimulated by the hormone to produce proteoglycan which can be considered as an induction of premature bone formation. The number of the nodules was increased with hormone concentration and most pronounced at the hCaPH. Gene expression patterns of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and osteopontin (OPN) were strongly modulated by hybridized the hormone. For ALP and OPN, gene expressions were activated earlier on hCaPs than untreated calcium phosphate (CaP) confirming the effect of the hybridization was substantial. The TGF-beta gene expression was immediately activated after seeding but difference between samples was not significant suggesting that the gene expression was modulated not by the hormone hybridization but by CaP itself. As a result, hybridization of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) with CaP can be a potentially strong candidate to promote osteoconductivity of implant materials.

Abstract
Osteoblasts grown on microstructured Ti surfaces enhance osteointegration by producing local factors that regulate bone formation as well as bone remodeling, including the RANK ligand decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). The objective of this study was to explore the mechanism by which surface microstructure and surface energy mediate their stimulatory effects on OPG expression. Titanium disks were manufactured to present different surface morphologies: a smooth pretreatment surface (PT, Ra<0.2microm), microstructured sandblasted/acid etched surface (SLA, Ra=3-4microm), and a microstructured Ti plasma-sprayed surface (TPS, Ra=4microm). Human osteoblast-like MG63 cells were cultured on these substrates and the regulation of OPG production by TGF-beta1, PKC, and alpha2beta1 integrin signaling determined. Osteoblasts produced increased amounts of OPG as well as active and latent TGF-beta1 and had increased PKC activity when grown on SLA and TPS. Exogenous TGF-beta1 increased OPG production in a dose-dependent manner on all surfaces, and this was prevented by adding blocking antibody to the TGF-beta type II receptor or by reducing TGF-beta1 binding to the receptor by adding exogenous soluble type II receptor. The PKC inhibitor chelerythrine inhibited the production of OPG in a dose-dependent manner, but only in cultures on SLA and TPS. shRNA knockdown of alpha2 or a double knockdown of alpha2beta1 also reduced OPG, as well as production of TGF-beta1. These results indicate that substrate-dependent OPG production is regulated by TGF-beta1, PKC, and alpha2beta1 and suggest a mechanism by which alpha2beta1 signaling increases PKC, resulting in TGF-beta1 production and TGF-beta1 then acts on its receptor to increase transcription of OPG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Titanium implants that have been grit-blasted and acid-etched to produce a rough microtopography support more bone integration than do smooth-surfaced implants. In vitro studies have suggested that this is due to a stimulatory effect on osteoblasts. It is not known if grit-blasted and acid-etched Ti6Al4V implants also stimulate osteoblasts and increase bone formation clinically. In this study, we examined the effects of micrometer-scale-structured Ti6Al4V surfaces on cell responses in vitro and on tissue responses in vivo. METHODS Ti6Al4V disks were either machined to produce smooth surfaces with an average roughness (Ra) of 0.2 microm or grit-blasted, resulting in an Ra of 2.0, 3.0, or 3.3 microm. Human osteoblast-like cells were cultured on the disks and on tissue culture polystyrene. The cell number, markers of osteoblast differentiation, and levels of local factors in the conditioned media were determined at confluence. In addition, Ti6Al4V pedicle screws with smooth or rough surfaces were implanted into the L4 and L5 vertebrae of fifteen two-year-old sheep. Osteointegration was evaluated at twelve weeks with histomorphometry and on the basis of removal torque. RESULTS The cell numbers on the Ti6Al4V surfaces were lower than those on the tissue culture polystyrene; the effect was greatest on the roughest surface. The alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity of cell lysates was decreased in a surface-dependent manner, whereas osteocalcin, prostaglandin E(2), transforming growth factor-beta1, and osteoprotegerin levels were higher on the rough surfaces. Bone-implant contact was greater around the rough-surfaced Ti6Al4V screws, and the torque needed to remove the rough screws from the bone was more than twice that required to remove the smooth screws. CONCLUSIONS Increased micrometer-scale surface roughness increases osteoblast differentiation and local factor production in vitro, which may contribute to increased bone formation and osteointegration in vivo. There was a correlation between in vitro and in vivo observations, indicating that the use of screws with rough surfaces will result in better bone-implant contact and implant stability.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) express an osteoblastic phenotype when treated with BMP-2, and BMP-2 is used clinically to induce bone formation although high doses are required. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) also promote osteogenesis in vivo, in part through direct action on osteoblasts. We tested the hypothesis that PEMF enhances osteogenesis of MSCs in the presence of an inductive stimulus like BMP-2. Confluent cultures of human MSCs were grown on calcium phosphate disks and were treated with osteogenic media (OM), OM containing 40 ng/mL rhBMP-2, OM + PEMF (8 h/day), or OM + BMP-2 + PEMF. MSCs demonstrated minor increases in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) during 24 days in culture and no change in osteocalcin. OM increased ALP and osteocalcin by day 6, but PEMF had no additional effect at any time. BMP-2 was stimulatory over OM, and PEMF + BMP-2 synergistically increased ALP and osteocalcin. PEMF also enhanced the effects of BMP-2 on PGE2, latent and active TGF-beta1, and osteoprotegerin. Effects of PEMF on BMP-2-treated cells were greatest at days 12 to 20. These results demonstrate that PEMF enhances osteogenic effects of BMP-2 on MSCs cultured on calcium phosphate substrates, suggesting that PEMF will improve MSC response to BMP-2 in vivo in a bone environment.

Abstract
Mounting epidemiological evidence indicates an association between the moderate ingestion of alcoholic beverages and higher bone mineral density (v. abstainers). More limited findings provide some evidence for translation of this association into reduced fracture risk, but further studies are required. Here, these data are reviewed and caveats in their assimilation, comparison and interpretation as well as in the use and application of bone health indices are discussed. Whilst it is concluded that evidence is now strong for the moderate alcohol-bone health association, at least in relation to bone mineral density, mechanisms are less clear. Both ethanol and non-ethanol components have been implicated as factors that positively affect bone health in the light of moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages, and four particular areas are discussed. First, recent findings suggest that moderate ethanol consumption acutely inhibits bone resorption, in a non-parathyroid hormone- and non-calcitonin-dependent fashion, which can only partly be attributed to an energy effect. Second, critical review of the literature does not support a role for moderate ethanol consumption affecting oestrogen status and leading to a knock-on effect on bone. Third, Si is present at high levels in certain alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and may have a measurable role in promoting bone formation. Fourth, a large body of work indicates that phytochemicals (e.g. polyphenols) from alcoholic beverages could influence bone health, but human data are lacking. With further work it is hoped to be able to model epidemiological observations and provide a clear pathway between the magnitude of association and the relative contribution of these mechanisms for the major classes of alcoholic beverage.

Abstract
Many of our current therapies are based on information obtained in cell cultures using substrates that have little in common with the substrates the cells will encounter in vivo. To produce materials that are clinically valuable, we must analyze more deeply how musculoskeletal cells interact with the physical features of their environments. An increasing body of information has examined the mechanisms by which osteoblasts interact with their substrate. The underlying substrate, particularly in bone, also has structural features that can alter the mechanical environment experienced by the cells. These structural features modulate the nature of cell attachment and the resulting cell shape, affecting cell proliferation and differentiation. The chemistry, surface energy, and microarchitecture of a material all influence the kinds of proteins that adsorb onto the surface, which in turn affects integrin-mediated attachment. Signaling via integrins initiates the transfer of information to the cell about the microenvironment. Cells can differentiate between crystallinities of the same chemistry and distinguish complex differences in surface structure. These differences in the in vitro response correspond to differences in clinical effectiveness. By designing biomaterials that maximally enhance mesenchymal cell attachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation, the value of these materials for tissue repair will be markedly increased. The goal is to provide materials that are capable of supporting tissue regeneration in vivo, often at sites compromised by infection and loss of structure.

Abstract
Electron microscopic investigation on osteogenetic process at the implant surface of threadless rod-type titanium implants with different surface roughness of Ra 0.4 +/- 0.01 microm, Sm 2.6 +/- 0.3 microm and Ra 2.0 +/- 0.12 microm, Sm 36 +/- 9.1 microm was performed at the early stage of 21 and 42 days post implantation into the jawbones of four beagles under the load bearing condition of functional mastication. The implant surfaces were covered with a blood clot and haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) including phagocytic monocytes immediately after the implantation. Successively, osteogenic stem cells (OSC) migrated from cortical and/or trabecular endosteum to the HSC-layer on the implant surface. The new bone formation at the implant/bone marrow interface was developed by collaboration of osteomediator cells (OMC) differentiated from monocytes of HSC and osteoblast phenotype cells of OSC derived from endosteum of cortical bone and/or trabecular. The new bone layer at the implant surface consisted of two layers, solution-mediated calcification layer of pseudo bone and cell (osteoblast) -mediated calcification layer of true bone. The pseudo bone was produced by solution-mediated calcification of OMC- and HSC-remnants near by the implant surface. The bone healing process at the implant/bone marrow interface depended upon two factors; the migration of OSC from cortical and/or trabecular endosteum to the implant surface and the healing potentiality. Topographic dependency upon the bone healing potential at implant/bone marrow interface was not confirmed in this experiment under the load bearing condition of functional mastication.

Abstract
Future prospects for nanotechnology and biomaterials in medical applications appear to be excellent. In orthopedic applications, there is a significant need and demand for the development of a bone substitute that is bioactive and exhibits material properties (mechanical and surface) comparable with those of natural, healthy bone. Particularly, in bone tissue engineering, nanometer-sized ceramics, polymers, metals and composites have been receiving much attention recently. This is a result of current conventional materials (or those materials with constituent dimensions >1 µm) that have not invoked suitable cellular responses to promote adequate osteointegration to enable these devices to be successful for long periods. By contrast, owing to their ability to mimic the dimensions of constituent components of natural bone (e.g., proteins and hydroxyapatite), nanophase materials may be an exciting successful alternative orthopedic implant material. In this article, the ability of novel nanomaterials that promote osteointegration is discussed. Potential pitfalls or undesirable side effects associated with the use of nanomaterials in orthopedic applications are also reviewed.

Abstract
In vitro studies have proved the topographic dependency upon osteogenesis on titanium plate by investigating the cell-adhesion, -shape, -proliferation, -differentiation, ALP activity and osteocalcin production of osteogenic stem cells, MG36, MC3T3-E1 and wild strains of bone formative cells from animal and human. However, this in vivo study on bone growth around cp titanium dental implants under masticatory loading did not demonstrate significant difference among the different surface roughness in the range of Ra 0.4-1.9 microm, Rz 2.8-11.2 microm, Rmax 3.6-28.1 microm and Sm 2.9-41.0 microm, which was estimated by measuring the bone contacts, bone occupancies and bone bonding strengths at the implant/bone marrow interface. It is revealed that the topographic dependency on the osteogenetic activity is apt to be covered with wide variation in bone healing potential under the clinical condition with functional biting load.

Application of RSVL (10(-8) -10(-6) mol l(-1)) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in [3H]-thymidine incorporation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposition of BMSCs cultures, which was accompanied with the increase of NO production and cGMP content. Concurrent treatment with the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI182,780 (10(-7) mol l(-1)) or the NO synthase inhibitor, Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (6 x 10(-3) mol l(-1)) abolished the RSVL (10(-6) mol l(-1))-induced increase in NO production and cGMP content and eliminated the RSVL-induced increase in proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs. In contrast, CsA (10(-6) -10(-5) mol l(-1)) dose-dependently decreased [3H]-thymidine incorporation, ALP activity and calcium deposition of BMSCs cultures, which was accompanied with the reduction of NO production in the conditioned media. Concurrent treatment with RSVL (10(-6) mol l(-1)) significantly reversed the CsA (3 x 10(-6) mol l(-1))-mediated decrease in NO production and restored the proliferation and differentiation potential of BMSCs. Our data suggest that (1) the NO/cGMP pathway may play an important role in both RSVL-induced and CsA-inhibited proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mouse BMSCs, and (2) RSVL may act through an ER/NO/cGMP pathway to reverse the inhibitory effect of CsA on BMSC cultures. Taken together, the data suggest that RSVL may prevent osteoporosis induced by CsA.

Abstract
Microtextured titanium implant surfaces enhance bone formation in vivo and osteoblast phenotypic expression in vitro, but the mechanisms are not understood. To determine the roles of specific microarchitectural features in modulating osteoblast behavior, we used Ti surfaces prepared by electrochemical micromachining as substrates for MG63 osteoblast-like cell culture. Cell response was compared to tissue culture plastic, a sand-blasted with large grit and acid-etched surface with defined mixed microtopography (SLA), polished Ti surfaces, and polished surfaces electrochemically machined through a photoresist pattern to produce cavities with 100, 30 and 10 microm diameters arranged so that the ratio of the microscopic-scale area of the cavities versus the microscopic-scale area of the flat region between the cavities was equal to 1 or 6. Microstructured disks were acid-etched, producing overall sub-micron-scale roughness (Ra=0.7 microm). Cell number, differentiation (alkaline phosphatase; osteocalcin) and local factor levels (TGF-beta1; PGE(2)) varied with microarchitecture. 100 microm cavities favored osteoblast attachment and growth, the sub-micron-scale etch enhanced differentiation and TGF-beta1 production, whereas PGE(2) depended on cavity dimensions but not the sub-micron-scale roughness.

Abstract
Sol-gel processing was used to coat titanium substrates with hydroxyapatite (HA), TiO2, and poly(DL-lactic-glycolic acid). Coating surface characteristics were analyzed with XRD, EDS, AFM, SEM, and water contact angle measurements which indicated that the coatings had a high degree of crystallinity and good resistance to cracking. Coatings were also evaluated by cytocompatibility testing with osteoblast-like cells (or bone-forming cells). The cytocompatibility of the HA composite coatings prepared in the present in vitro study was compared to that of a traditional plasma-sprayed HA coating. Results showed that osteoblast-like cell adhesion was promoted on the novel HA sol-gel coating compared to the traditional plasma-sprayed HA coating. In addition, hydrothermal treatment of the sol-gel coating improved osteoblast-like cell adhesion. Since osteoblast adhesion is a necessary prerequisite for subsequent formation of bone, these results provided evidence that hydrothermally sol-gel processed HA may improve bonding of titanium implants to juxtaposed bone and, thus, warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) is used for implantable devices because of its biocompatible oxide surface layer. TiO2 surfaces that have a complex microtopography increase bone-to-implant contact and removal torque forces in vivo and induce osteoblast differentiation in vitro. Studies examining osteoblast response to controlled surface chemistries indicate that hydrophilic surfaces are osteogenic, but TiO2 surfaces produced until now exhibit low surface energy because of adsorbed hydrocarbons and carbonates from the ambient atmosphere or roughness induced hydrophobicity. Novel hydroxylated/hydrated Ti surfaces were used to retain high surface energy of TiO2. Osteoblasts grown on this modified surface exhibited a more differentiated phenotype characterized by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin and generated an osteogenic microenvironment through higher production of PGE2 and TGF-beta1. Moreover, 1alpha,25OH2D3 increased these effects in a manner that was synergistic with high surface energy. This suggests that increased bone formation observed on modified Ti surfaces in vivo is due in part to stimulatory effects of high surface energy on osteoblasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Titanium is the standard material for dental and orthopaedical implants. The good biocompatibility has been proven in many experimental and clinical investigations. Different titanium topographies were tested in vitro using different cell culture models. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate and summarize the medical/dental literature to assess on which kind of titanium surface structure the osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells MG63 show the best proliferation and differentiation rate, and the best protein synthesis. METHODS A systematic search was carried out using different on-line databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, International Poster Journal), supplemented by handsearch in selected journals and by examination of the bibliographies of the identified articles. Inclusion and exclusion criterias were applied when considering relevant articles. Studies which met the inclusion criteria were included and data extraction was undertaken by one reviewer. RESULTS The search yielded 348 references. Nine articles referring to nine different studies were relevant to our question. Additionally 8 less relevant articles were identified. It was found that regularly textured surfaces of pure titanium with R(a) values (average roughness) of around 4 mum are well-accepted by MG63 cells. CONCLUSIONS The surfaces and culture conditions vary widely. Therefore it is still difficult to recommend one particular surface. It seems that there are no differences in cell proliferation and differentiation on surfaces treated by blasting and etching. Standardization in fabrication and size of the different test surfaces as well as homogeneity in culture times and plating densities should be aspects for future research.

Abstract
Titanium implant surfaces with rough microtopographies exhibit increased pullout strength in vivo suggesting increased bone-to-implant contact. This is supported by in vitro studies showing that as surface microroughness increases, osteoblast proliferation decreases whereas differentiation increases. Differentiation is further enhanced on microrough surfaces by factors stimulating osteogenesis including 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Levels of PGE2 and TGF-beta1 are increased in cultures grown on rough microtopographies; this surface effect is enhanced synergistically by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-treatment. PGE2 and TGF-beta1 regulate osteoclasts as well as osteoblasts, suggesting that surface microtopography may modulate release of other factors from osteoblasts that regulate osteoclasts. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of substrate microarchitecture on production of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), which have been identified as a key regulatory system of bone remodeling. We also examined the production of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, which regulates osteoblast differentiation and osteoclastogenesis. MG63 osteoblast-like cells were grown on either tissue culture plastic or titanium disks of different surface microtopographies: PT (Ra < 0.2 microm), SLA (Ra = 4 microm), and TPS (Ra = 5 microm). At confluence, cultures were treated for 24 h with 0, 10(-8) M or 10(-7) M 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. RANKL and OPG were determined at the transcriptional level by RT-PCR and real time PCR and soluble RANKL, OPG and 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 in the conditioned media were measured using immunoassay kits. Cell number was reduced on SLA and TPS surfaces and 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 caused further decreases. OPG mRNA levels increased on rougher surfaces and 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 treatment caused a further synergistic increase. While the cells expressed RANKL mRNA, levels were low and independent of surface microtopography. OPG protein was greater when cells were grown on SLA and TPS. 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 increased OPG by 50% on the smooth Ti surface but on SLA, 10(-8) M 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 caused a 100% increase and 10(-7) M 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 increased OPG by 200%. On TPS 10(-7) M 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 increased OPG 350%. Soluble RANKL was not detected in the conditioned media of any of the cultures. 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 was produced endogenously and levels were positively correlated with surface roughness. Thus, on surfaces with rough microtopographies, osteoblasts secrete factors that enhance osteoblast differentiation while decreasing osteoclast formation and activity.

Abstract
Osteoblasts exhibit a more differentiated morphology on surfaces with rough microtopographies. Surface effects are often mediated through integrins that bind the RGD motif in cell attachment proteins. Here, we tested the hypothesis that modulating access to RGD binding sites can modify the response of osteoblasts to surface microtopography. MG63 immature osteoblast-like cells were cultured on smooth (Ti sputter-coated Si wafers) and rough (grit blasted/acid etched) Ti surfaces that were modified with adsorbed monomolecular layers of a comb-like graft copolymer, poly-(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG), to limit nonspecific protein adsorption. PLL-g-PEG coatings were functionalized with varying amounts of an integrin-receptor-binding RGD peptide GCRGYGRGDSPG (PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RGD) or a nonbinding RDG control sequence GCRGYGRDGSPG (PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RDG). Response to PLL-g-PEG alone was compared with response to surfaces on which 2-18% of the polymer sidechains were functionalized with the RGD peptide or the RDG peptide. To examine RGD dose-response, peptide surface concentration was varied between 0 and 6.4 pmol/cm(2). In addition, cells were cultured on uncoated Ti or Ti coated with PLL-g-PEG or PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RGD at an RGD surface concentration of 0.7 pmol/cm(2), and free RGDS was added to the media to block integrin binding. Analyses were performed 24 h after cultures had achieved confluence on the tissue culture plastic surface. Cell number was reduced on smooth Ti compared to plastic or glass and further decreased on surfaces coated with PLL-g-PEG or PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RDG, but was restored to control levels when PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RGD was present. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity and osteocalcin levels were increased on PLL-g-PEG alone or PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RDG, but PLL-g-PEG/PEG-RGD reduced the parameters to control levels. On rough Ti surfaces, cell number was reduced to a greater extent than on smooth Ti. PLL-g-PEG coatings reduced alkaline phosphatase and increased osteocalcin in a manner that was synergistic with surface roughness. The RDG peptide did not alter the PLL-g-PEG effect but the RGD peptide restored these markers to their control levels. PLL-g-PEG coatings also increased TGF-beta1 and PGE(2) in conditioned media of cells cultured on smooth or rough Ti; there was a 20x increase on rough Ti coated with PLL-g-PEG. PLL-g-PEG effects were inhibited dose dependently by addition of the RGD peptide to the surface. Free RGDS did not decrease the effect elicited by PLL-g-PEG surfaces. These unexpected results suggest that PLL-g-PEG may have osteogenic properties, perhaps correlated with effects that alter cell attachment and spreading, and promote a more differentiated morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the amount of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity in alveolar macrophages in response to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) by determining nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations. SAMPLE POPULATION Freshly isolated porcine alveolar macrophages. PROCEDURE Alveolar macrophages were incubated for 48 hours with APP (1 X 10(4) colony-forming units/mL), interleukin-1beta, (IL-1beta; 5 U/mL), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha; 500 U/mL), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma, 100 U/mL), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 microg/mL). In a second experiment, alveolar macrophages were incubated with fresh medium (negative control), APP alone, or APP with 1 of the following: IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, or IFN-gamma. In a third experiment, alveolar macrophages were incubated with fresh medium (negative control), LPS (positive control), APP alone, or APP with 1 of the following: an iNOS inhibitor (3.3 microM), a COX-2 inhibitor (10 microM); or both the iNOS and COX-2 inhibitors. Supernatant was obtained at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment for determination of NO and PGE2 production. RESULTS The addition of APP to alveolar macrophages resulted in significant increases in NO and PGE2 production. The addition of APP and IFN-gamma synergistically induced NO production. Inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 decreased NO and PGE2 production, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In vitro activation of alveolar macrophages by APP results in increased production of NO and PGE2. Nitric oxide and PGE2 production appears to be largely dependent on iNOS and COX-2 activity. Pharmacologic modulation of iNOS and COX-2 activity may represent a therapeutic target for pigs with pleuropneumonia.

Abstract
We have developed an in vitro mechanical stretching model of osteoblastic cells cultured on metallic biomaterials in order to study the effects of mechanical strain on osteointegration of orthopaedic implants. Titanium alloy discs coated with alumina or hydroxyapatite were used as substrates. Three Dynacell devices were especially designed to apply cyclic strains on rigid biomaterials. The regimen (600 mu epsilon strains, 0.25Hz) was defined on the basis of physiological data and estimated deformation on hip stem prostheses. The performances of these apparatus were reproducible and provided controlled deformations. Human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63, human osteoblasts obtained from primary cultures and ROS 17/2.8 rat osteosarcoma cells were used as cell models. Cell behaviour was assessed in terms of growth and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity by in situ assays for two regimens: 15-min deformations repeated three times a day to mimic rehabilitation exercises and 24-h continuous deformations. We demonstrated that continuous deformation did not affect the growth and ALP activity of MG-63 cells, in contrast with sequential deformations which had no effect on cell number, but which stimulated ALP activity after 5 days of stretching. This sequential regimen can also modify the behaviour of human bone-derived cells resulting in increased proliferation after 5 days and stimulation of ALP activity after 15 days. ROS 17/2.8 rat osteosarcoma cells submitted to sequential deformations responded faster than other cell lines by increasing their ALP activity only after 1 day of stretching. Like MG-63 cells, proliferation of the ROS 17/2.8 rat osteosarcoma cell line was not affected by sequential deformations. This study suggests that short, repeated deformations defined to mimic rehabilitation exercises recommended after prostheses implantation are more likely to exert beneficial effects on implanted bone than continuous strains.

Abstract
Implant surface morphology regulates osteoblast phenotypic expression. Osteoblast sensitivity to non-biologic surfaces suggests that native bone surface features may also affect osteoblast response. To test this, MG63 osteoblast-like cells were grown for 7 days on bovine cortical bone wafers pretreated with rat bone marrow osteoclasts for 0, 10 or 20 days. Response to osteoclast-treated surfaces was compared to the response of MG63 cells to titanium surfaces with smooth and rough microtopographies. Cell number, differentiation (alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin levels), and local factors (PGE(2) and TGF-beta1) were measured in confluent cultures. Compared to culture on plastic, cell number was reduced on all three types of bone wafers; this effect was dose-dependent with increasing resorption of the surface. Alkaline phosphatase specific activity was increased (P<or=0.05) on all three surfaces compared with plastic, but this increase was not dependent on resorption time, indicating this parameter was sensitive to the surface (bovine bone vs. plastic) but not to osteoclast-resorption. There was a direct correlation between the area of the bone surface resorbed and the amount of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1 and PGE(2) (R(2)=0.8025, 0.8689, 0.8896, respectively). With 20 days of osteoclast pretreatment, there was a 20-fold increase in osteocalcin over plastic and a 7-fold increase over cultures on untreated bone wafers. Similar increases were found for TGF-beta1 and PGE(2). Thus, surface changes resulting from osteoclast pretreatment have a strong effect on osteoblast phenotypic expression, and suggest that microtopography may play a role.

Abstract
The formation of new bone during the process of bone remodeling occurs almost exclusively at sites of prior bone resorption. In an attempt to discover what regulatory pathways are utilized by osteoblasts to effect this site-specific formation event we probed components of an active bone resorption surface with an osteoblast phage expression library. In these experiments primary cultures of rat osteoblasts were used to construct a phage display library in T7 phage. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (type V) (TRAP) was used as the bait in a biopanning procedure. 40 phage clones with very high affinity for TRAP were sequenced, and of the clones with multiple consensus sequences we identified a regulatory protein that modulates osteoblast differentiation. This protein is the TGFbeta receptor-interacting protein (TRIP-1). Our data demonstrate that TRAP activation of TRIP-1 evokes a TGFbeta-like differentiation process. Specifically, TRIP-1 activation increases the activity and expression of osteoblast alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen, and Runx2. Moreover, we show that TRAP interacts with TRIP intracellularly, that activation of the TGFbeta type II receptor by TRIP-1 occurs in the presence of TRAP and that the differentiation process is mediated through the Smad2/3 pathway. A final experiment demonstrates that osteoblasts, when cultured in osteoclast lacunae containing TRAP, rapidly and specifically differentiate into a mature bone-forming phenotype. We hypothesize that binding to TRAP may be one mechanism by which the full osteoblast phenotype is expressed during the process of bone remodeling.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) surfaces with rough microtopographies enhance osteogenic differentiation, local factor production, and response to osteogenic agents in vitro and increase pullout strength of dental implants in vivo. Estrogens regulate bone formation, resorption, and remodeling in females and may be important in implant success. Here, we tested the hypothesis that estrogen modulates osteoblast response to implant surface morphology. Primary female human osteoblasts were cultured to confluence on three Ti surfaces (pretreatment, PT - R(a) 0.60 microm; sandblasted and acid-etched, SLA - R(a) 3.97 microm; and Ti plasma-sprayed, TPS - R(a) 5.21 microm) and treated for 24 h with 10(-7) or 10(-8) M 17beta-estradiol (E(2)). Cell number decreased with increasing surface roughness, but was not sensitive to E(2). Alkaline phosphatase specific activity of isolated cells and cell layer lysates was lower on rough surfaces. E(2) increased both parameters on smooth surfaces, whereas on rough surfaces, the stimulatory effect of E(2) on alkaline phosphatase was evident only when measuring cell layer lysates. Osteocalcin levels were higher in the conditioned media of cells grown on rough surfaces; E(2) had no effect in cultures on the plastic surfaces, but increased osteocalcin production on all Ti surfaces. TGF-beta1 and PGE(2) production was increased on rough surfaces, and E(2) augmented this effect in a synergistic manner; on smooth surfaces, there was no change in production with E(2). The response of osteoblasts to surface topography was modulated by E(2). On smooth surfaces, E(2) affected only alkaline phosphatase, but on rough surfaces, E(2) increased levels of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1, and PGE(2). These results show that normal adult human female osteoblasts are sensitive to surface microtopography and that E(2) can alter this response.

Abstract
The biocompatibility of an orthopedic implant depends on the effect of the implant on bone-forming cells, osteoblasts. Changes in osteoblastic proliferation, maturation and differentiation are important events in ossification that enable monitoring the effect of the implant. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is known to suppress osteoblast proliferation and, on the other hand, to induce the maturation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Moreover, osteoblasts produce TGF-beta, which is embedded in the bone matrix and activated by bone-resorbing osteoclasts. TGF-beta inhibits osteoclastic activity. Here, we show for the first time the effect of nickel titanium shape memory metal (NiTi) on osteoblastic cytokine expression. In this study, we measured the levels of TGF-beta with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from a ROS-17/2.8 osteosarcoma cell line cultured on different metal alloy discs. ELISA results were proportioned to total DNA content of the samples. We compared NiTi, to stainless steel (Stst), pure titanium (Ti) and pure nickel (Ni). The TGF-beta1/DNA value in the NiTi group (0.0007 +/- 0.0003) was comparable with those seen in the Stst (0.0008 +/- 0.0001) and Ti (0.0007 +/- 0.0001) groups. The concentration in the Ni group was lower (0.0006 +/- 0.0003), though not statistically significantly so. In addition, the effect of surface roughness on TGF-beta1 production was studied. We compared three different grades of roughness in three differently hot-rolled alloys: NiTi. hot-rolled at 950 degrees C. Ti alloy hot-rolled at 850 degrees C (TiI) and the same Ti alloy hot-rolled at 1,050 degrees C (TiII). We found that increasing roughness of the NiTi surface increased the TGF-beta1 concentration. On the other hand, all roughness groups of TiII showed low levels of TGF-beta1. while a rough TiI surface induced similar TGF-beta1, expression as rough NiTi. Further, these same measurements made with interleukine 6 (IL-6) were found to be under the detection limit in these cultures. We conclude that a rough NiTi surface promotes TGF-beta1 expression in ROS-17/2.8 cells.

Abstract
Synthetic bone replacement materials are now widely used in orthopedics. However, to date, replication of trabecular bone structure and mechanical competence has proved elusive. Maximization of bone tissue attachment to replacement materials requires a highly organized porous structure for tissue integration and a template for assembly, combined with structural properties analogous to living bone. Natural structural biomaterials provide an abundant source of novel bone replacements. Animal skeletons have been designed through optimization by natural selection to physically support and physiologically maintain diverse tissue types encompassing a variety of functions. These skeletons possess structural properties that provide support for the complete reconstruction and regeneration of ectodermal, mesodermal, and bone tissues derived from animal and human and are thus suited to a diversity of tissue engineering applications. Increased understanding of biomineralization has initiated developments in biomimetic synthesis with the generation of synthetic biomimetic materials fabricated according to biological principles and processes of self-assembly and self-organization. The synthesis of complex inorganic forms, which mimic natural structures, offers exciting avenues for the chemical construction of macrostructures and a new generation of biologically and structurally related bone analogs for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that osteoblasts are sensitive to surface roughness. When cultured on Ti, MG63 osteoblast-like cells exhibit decreased proliferation and increased differentiation with increasing surface roughness. In vivo, osteoblasts also are subjected to shear force during osseointegration. To examine how shear force modulates osteoblast response to surface roughness, MG63 cells were cultured on glass disks or Ti disks with three different R(a) values and topographies (PT: R(a) = 0.60 microm; SLA: R(a) = 3.97 microm; TPS: R(a) = 5.21 microm) in a continuous flow device, resulting in shear forces of 0, 1, 5, 14, and 30 dynes/cm(2). Confluent cultures were exposed to fluid flow for 1 h. After an additional 23 h, cell number, alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity, and levels of osteocalcin, TGF-beta1, and PGE2 in the conditioned media were determined. Cell numbers on smooth surfaces (glass and PT) were unaffected by shear force. In contrast, shear force caused a dose-dependent reversal of the decrease in cell numbers seen on rough SLA and TPS surfaces. Alkaline-phosphatase-specific activity was unaffected on glass or PT, but shear force caused a biphasic reduction in the roughness-dependent increase on SLA and TPS that was maximal at 14 dynes/cm(2). There was a similar effect seen with TGF-beta1 levels. Osteocalcin was unaffected on smooth surfaces; shear force caused a dose-dependent reduction in the roughness-stimulated increase seen on SLA and TPS. PGE2 production was increased by shear force on all surfaces. There was a twofold increase in PGE2 levels in the media of MG63 cells cultured on glass and PT in response to 14 dynes/cm(2), but on SLA and TPS, 14 dynes/cm(2) shear force caused a 9-10-fold increase. These results show that osteoblastic response to shear force is modulated by surface topography. The shear-force-mediated decrease in osteoblast differentiation seen in cultures on rough surfaces may be due to increased production of PGE2.
