Tong S, Fang S, Ying K, Chen W. Titanium particles inhibit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation through the MAPK signaling pathway. FEBS Open Bio 2023; 13:1699-1708.

Abstract
Metallic implants have great application in clinical orthopedics. Implants wear out in vivo due to long-term mechanical loading. The formation of wear debris is one of the long-term complications of prosthesis. In the case of artificial joint replacement in particular, aseptic loosening is the most common reason for secondary revision surgery. Previous studies suggested that wear debris caused aseptic loosening mainly by promoting osteolysis around the prosthesis. In this study, titanium particles, the most commonly used particles in clinical practice, were selected to simulate wear debris and explore the influence of titanium particles on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Our results show that titanium particles can significantly inhibit osteogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. While engaged in preliminary exploration of the underlying mechanisms, we found that titanium particles significantly affect phosphorylation of ERK1/2, a key component of MAPK signaling. This suggests that the MAPK signaling pathway is involved in the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation by titanium particles.

Protective effects of sirtuin 3 on titanium particle-induced osteogenic inhibition by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome via the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:3343-3357. [PMID: 33817415 PMCID: PMC8005659 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.02.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) remains the key factor in implant failure and subsequent revision surgery and is mainly triggered by wear particles. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of osteoblastic differentiation is the most widespread incident affecting the interface of trabecular and loosening prostheses. Additionally, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by prosthetic particles. Sirtuin3, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase of mitochondria, regulates the function of mitochondria in diverse activities. However, whether SIRT3 can mitigate wear debris-induced osteolysis by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and enhancing osteogenesis has not been previously reported. Therefore, we investigated the role of SIRT3 during the process of titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis. We revealed that upregulated SIRT3 dramatically attenuated Ti particle-induced osteogenic inhibition through suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and improvement of osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we found that SIRT3 interference in the process of Ti particle-induced osteolysis relied on the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway. Collectively, these findings indicated that SIRT3 may serve as a rational new treatment against debris-induced PPO by deacetylase-dependent inflammasome attenuation. Effect of SIRT3 on rescued wear particles-induced osteogenic inhibition. Effect of SIRT3 on inhibited the activation of pyroptosis-related NLRP3 inflammasome. Effect of SIRT3 on mitigated periprosthetic osteolysis via GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
The link between bone and blood vessels is regulated by hypoxia and the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor, HIF, which drives both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The recent clinical approval of PHD enzyme inhibitors, which stabilize HIF protein, introduces the potential for a new clinical strategy to treat osteolytic conditions such as osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, and skeletal fracture and nonunion. However, bone‐resorbing osteoclasts also play a central role in bone remodeling and pathological osteolysis, and HIF promotes osteoclast activation and bone loss in vitro. It is therefore likely that the result of PHD enzyme inhibition in vivo would be mediated by a balance between increased bone formation and increased bone resorption. It is essential that we improve our understanding of the effects of HIF on osteoclast formation and function and consider the potential contribution of inhibitory interactions with other musculoskeletal cells. The PHD enzyme inhibitor FG‐4592 stabilized HIF protein and stimulated osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption, but inhibited differentiation of human CD14+ monocytes into osteoclasts. Formation of osteoclasts in a more physiologically relevant 3D collagen gel did not affect the sensitivity of osteoclastogenesis to FG‐4592, but increased sensitivity to reduced concentrations of RANKL. Coculture with osteoblasts amplified inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by FG‐4592, whether the osteoblasts were proliferating, differentiating, or in the presence of exogenous M‐CSF and RANKL. Osteoblast coculture dampened the ability of high concentrations of FG‐4592 to increase bone resorption. These data provide support for the therapeutic use of PHD enzyme inhibitors to improve bone formation and/or reduce bone loss for the treatment of osteolytic pathologies and indicate that FG‐4592 might act in vivo to inhibit the formation and activity of the osteoclasts that drive osteolysis. © 2020 The Authors.

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

Abstract
Background Wear debris-induced osteolysis leads to periprosthetic loosening and subsequent prosthetic failure. Since excessive osteoclast formation is closely implicated in periprosthetic osteolysis, identification of agents to suppress osteoclast formation and/or function is crucial for the treatment and prevention of wear particle-induced bone destruction. In this study, we examined the potential effect of pentamidine treatment on titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis, and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis. Methods The effect of pentamidine treatment on bone destruction was examined in Ti particle-induced osteolysis mouse model. Ti particles were implanted onto mouse calvaria, and vehicle or pentamidine was administered for 10 days. Then, calvarial bone tissue was analyzed using micro-computed tomography and histology. We performed in vitro osteoclastogenesis assay using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) to determine the effect of pentamidine on osteoclast formation. BMMs were treated with 20 ng/mL RANKL and 10 ng/mL macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the presence or absence of pentamidine. Osteoclast differentiation was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence staining. Results Pentamidine administration decreased Ti particle-induced osteoclast formation significantly and prevented bone destruction compared to the Ti particle group in vivo. Pentamidine also suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and actin ring formation markedly, and inhibited the expression of nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 and osteoclast-specific genes in vitro. Additionally, pentamidine also attenuated RANKL-mediated phosphorylation of IκBα in BMMs. Conclusion These results indicate that pentamidine is effective in inhibiting osteoclast formation and significantly attenuates wear debris-induced bone loss in mice.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening due to wear particle‐induced osteolysis is the main cause of arthroplasty failure and the influence of postmenopausal osteoporosis and anti‐osteoporosis treatment on Titanium (Ti) particle‐induced osteolysis remains unclear. 66 C57BL/6J female mice were used in this study. Ovariectomy (OVX) was performed to induce osteopenia mice and confirmed by micro‐CT. The Ti particle‐induced mouse calvaria osteolysis model was established subsequently and both OVX and Sham‐OVX mice were divided into four groups, respectively: Ti (‐) group, Ti group, Ti + zoledronic acid (ZOL) group (50ug/kg, local administration, single dose) and Ti + teriparatide (TPTD) group (40ug/kg/d, subcutaneous injection*14d). Mice calvarias were collected for micro‐CT and histomorphometric analysis 2 weeks after particle induction. 8 weeks after bilateral OVX, significantly reduced BMD and microstructure parameters in both proximal tibia and calvaria were observed in OVX mice when comparing with Sham‐OVX mice. OVX mice in Ti group had not only markly decreased BMD and BV/TV, but also significantly increased total porosity, eroded surface area and osteoclast numbers when comparing with Sham‐OVX mice. Shown by Two‐way ANOVA analysis, the interaction terms between OVX and Ti implantation on micro‐CT and histomorphometry parameters didn’t reach significant difference. As illustrated by micro‐CT and histological analysis, ZOL treatment markedly inhibited Ti particle‐induced osteolysis in OVX mice and Sham‐OVX mice, and there were significant differences when comparing to both Ti and Ti+TPTD group. The combination of osteoporosis and Ti particle implantation result in aggravated bone resorption, accompanied with increased osteoclasts and excessive inflammation response. ZOL was more effective in preventing Ti particle‐induced osteolysis in both OVX mice and Sham‐OVX mice than TPTD in short‐term administration. ZOL exert the protective effects on Ti particle‐induced bone loss via the suppression of osteoclasts.

Int J Mol Med 2018; 42:2031-2041. [PMID: 30015911 PMCID: PMC6108887 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2018.3780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2018] [Accepted: 07/06/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study investigated the role of bidirectional ephrin-B2/erythropoietin-producing human hepatocellular receptor 4 (ephB4) signaling in the regulation of wear particle-mediated osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) were induced into osteoclasts by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL, 50 ng/ml). EphB4-Fc, an osteoblast membrane surface receptor (4 µg/ml), was used to stimulate the ephrin-B2 ligand of osteoclasts in the presence and absence of titanium (Ti). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was used to detect the number of osteoclasts, and phalloidin staining was used to examine the cytoskeletons of the osteoclasts. A bone pit absorption experiment was used to measure osteoclast function. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis were used to examine osteoclastogenesis. ELISAs were used to detect the production of inflammatory factors. The data demonstrated that Ti significantly promoted the differentiation of BMMs into mature osteoclasts in the presence of RANKL and significantly promoted expression of the ephrin-B2, nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1), TRAP, Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit (C-FOS), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) genes. Phalloidin and TRAP staining revealed that following the addition of ephB4-Fc, the number, size and cytoskeletal elements of Key words: osteoclasts, osteoblasts, remodeling, ephrin-B2, osteoclastogenesis osteoclasts were significantly decreased compared with those in the titanium particle group without ephB4-Fc. Compared with the titanium particle group, the bone pit absorption experiment revealed significantly decreased absorption pit areas in the titanium particle+ephB4-Fc group. The expression of the NFATc1, TRAP, C-FOS and MMP9 genes was markedly decreased in the ephB4-Fc group; however, the expression of the ephrin-B2 gene was increased compared with the Ti particle group without ephB4-Fc after 5 days. Production of inflammatory cytokines was inhibited by Ti particles through bidirectional signals. Addition of ephB4-Fc inhibited the osteoclast-mediated formation of Ti particles via bidirectional ephrin-B2/ephB4 signaling. Activation of this bidirectional signaling pathway may be a potential clinical treatment for osteolysis surrounding prostheses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have showed that triptolide have a critical role in inhibiting osteoclast formation, bone resorption and attenuating regional osteoporosis. However, the protective role of triptolide on age-related bone loss has not been investigated. In the study, we assessed the effect of triptolide supplementation on bone microstructure and bone remolding in old male rat lumbars. METHODS Fifty-two 22-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to either triptolide treatment group or control group. Triptolide (15 μg/kg/d) or normal saline was administered to the rats of assigned group for 8 weeks. Lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microstructure were analyzed by micro-CT. Fluorochrome labeling of the bones was performed to measure the mineral apposition rate (MAR) and bone formation rate (BFR). Osteoclast number was also measured by TRAP staining. Plasma level of osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (Tracp 5b) was also analyzed. RESULTS Micro-CT results revealed that triptolide-treated rats had significant higher BMD, bone volume over total volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), bone trabecular number (Tb.N), and lower trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) compared to the control group. Although fluorochrome labeling result showed no significant difference in MAR and BFR between the groups, triptolide decreased osteoclast number in vivo. In addition, a significant higher level of plasma Tracp 5b was observed in the triptolide-treated rats. Furthermore, triptolide also reduced the expression of receptor for activation of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and increased osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression in the lumbars. CONCLUSION These results suggested that triptolide had a protective effect on age-related bone loss at least in part by reducing osteoclast number in elder rats. Therefore, triptolide might be a feasible therapeutic approach for senile osteoporosis.

Melatonin attenuates titanium particle-induced osteolysis via activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Acta Biomater 2017; 51:513-525.

Abstract
Wear debris-induced inhibition of bone regeneration and extensive bone resorption were common features in peri-prosthetic osteolysis (PPO). Here, we investigated the effect of melatonin on titanium particle-stimulated osteolysis in a murine calvariae model and mouse-mesenchymal-stem cells (mMSCs) culture system. Melatonin inhibited titanium particle-induced osteolysis and increased bone formation at osteolytic sites, confirmed by radiological and histomorphometric data. Furthermore, osteoclast numbers decreased dramatically in the low- and high-melatonin administration mice, as respectively, compared with the untreated animals. Melatonin alleviated titanium particle-induced depression of osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization in mMSCs. Mechanistically, melatonin was found to reduce the degradation of β-catenin, levels of which were decreased in presence of titanium particles both in vivo and in vitro. To further ensure whether the protective effect of melatonin was mediated by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, ICG-001, a selective β-catenin inhibitor, was added to the melatonin-treated groups and was found to attenuate the effect of melatonin on mMSC mineralization. We also demonstrated that melatonin modulated the balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand and osteoprotegerin via activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. These findings strongly suggest that melatonin represents a promising candidate in the treatment of PPO. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Peri-prosthetic osteolysis, initiated by wear debris-induced inhibition of bone regeneration and extensive bone resorption, is the leading cause for implant failure and reason for revision surgery. In the current study, we demonstrated for the first time that melatonin can induce bone regeneration and reduce bone resorption at osteolytic sites caused by titanium-particle stimulation. These effects might be mediated by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and enhancing osteogenic differentiation. Meanwhile, the ability of melatonin to modulate the balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand and osteoprotegerin mediated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby suppressing osteoclastogenesis, may be implicated in the protective effects of melatonin on titanium-particle-induced bone resorption. These results suggested that melatonin can be considered as a promising therapeutic agent for the prevention and treatment of peri-prosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Triptolide, a traditional Chinese medicine, obtained from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and proapoptotic properties. We investigated the potential efficacy of triptolide on murine leukemia by measuring the triptolide-induced cytotoxicity in murine leukemia WEHI-3 cells in vitro. Results indicated that triptolide induced cell morphological changes and induced cytotoxic effects through G0/G1 phase arrest, induction of apoptosis. Flow cytometric assays showed that triptolide increased the production of reactive oxygen species, Ca2+ release and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm ), and activations of caspase-8, -9, and -3. Triptolide increased protein levels of Fas, Fas-L, Bax, cytochrome c, caspase-9, Endo G, Apaf-1, PARP, caspase-3 but reduced levels of AIF, ATF6α, ATF6β, and GRP78 in WEHI-3 cells. Triptolide stimulated autophagy based on an increase in acidic vacuoles, monodansylcadaverine staining for LC-3 expression and increased protein levels of ATG 5, ATG 7, and ATG 12. The in vitro data suggest that the cytotoxic effects of triptolide may involve cross-talk between cross-interaction of apoptosis and autophagy. Normal BALB/c mice were i.p. injected with WEHI-3 cells to generate leukemia and were oral treatment with triptolide at 0, 0.02, and 0.2 mg/kg for 3 weeks then animals were weighted and blood, liver, spleen samples were collected. Results indicated that triptolide did not significantly affect the weights of animal body, spleen and liver of leukemia mice, however, triptolide significant increased the cell populations of T cells (CD3), B cells (CD19), monocytes (CD11b), and macrophage (Mac-3). Furthermore, triptolide increased the phagocytosis of macrophage from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) but not effects from peritoneum. Triptolide promoted T and B cell proliferation at 0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg treatment when cells were pretreated with Con A and LPS stimulation, respectively; however, triptolide did not significant affect NK cell activities in vivo. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Wear particles released from prosthetic implants can cause periprosthetic osteolysis, a major cause of implant loosening. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the 11R-VIVIT peptide on osteolysis induced by titanium (Ti) particles in vivo. Twenty-four C57BL/J6 mice were divided into 3 groups: sham operation, Ti group, and Ti/VIVIT group. A calvarial osteolysis model was established by implanting Ti particles into mouse calvaria of the Ti and Ti/VIVIT groups. After 2 weeks, 11R-VIVIT peptide (10 mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally injected into the mice of the Ti/VIVIT group for 14 days. The other 2 groups received saline injection. The calvarial specimens were removed and stained with van Geison staining. The calvarial sagittal suture area was measured to observe bone resorption. The calvarial new bone area was measured to observe bone formation. Compared with the sham group, the area of calvarial new bone and calvarial sagittal suture were higher in the Ti group (P < 0.01). Compared with the Ti group, the area of calvarial new bone was higher and the area of calvarial sagittal suture was lower in the Ti/VIVIT group (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the 11R-VIVIT peptide inhibited bone resorption and enhanced bone formation. This may have contributed to lower wear particle-induced osteolysis. This method could eventually be used to prevent prosthesis loosening after joint replacement and to prolong the life of the prosthesis.

Abstract
Joint replacement is a commonly performed, highly successful orthopaedic procedure, for which surgeons have a large choice of different materials and implant designs. The materials used for joint replacement must be both biologically acceptable to minimize adverse local tissue reactions, and robust enough to support weight bearing during common activities of daily living. Modern joint replacements are made from metals and their alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites. This review focuses on the biological response to the different biomaterials used for joint replacement. In general, modern materials for joint replacement are well tolerated by the body as long as they are in bulk (rather than in particulate or ionic) form, are mechanically stable and noninfected. If the latter conditions are not met, the prosthesis will be associated with an acute/chronic inflammatory reaction, peri-prosthetic osteolysis, loosening and failure. This article (Part 1 of 2) is dedicated to the use of metallic devices in orthopaedic surgery including the associated biological response to metallic byproducts is a review of the basic science literature regarding this topic. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Triptolide Inhibits Osteoclast Differentiation and Bone Resorption In Vitro via Enhancing the Production of IL-10 and TGF-β1 by Regulatory T Cells. Mediators Inflamm 2016; 2016:8048170. [PMID: 27413257 PMCID: PMC4930824 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8048170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2016] [Revised: 04/24/2016] [Accepted: 05/23/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Triptolide, a purified component of Tripterygiumwilfordii Hook F, has been shown to have immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although triptolide has demonstrated that it could suppress bone destruction in collagen-induced mice, its therapeutic mechanism remains unclear. Many studies have investigated the effect of triptolide on Tregs and Tregs-related cytokine involved in RA. Additionally, previous studies have implied that Tregs inhibit osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Thus, in this study we aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism by which triptolide influences the Treg-mediated production of IL-10 and TGF-β1 to affect osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. In cocultures system of Tregs and mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), Tregs inhibited the differentiation of osteoclasts and reduced the resorbed areas significantly and the production of both IL-10 and TGF-β1 was upregulated. When the coculture systems were pretreated with triptolide, they produced higher levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1. Our data indicate that triptolide enhances the suppressive effects of Tregs on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption by enhancing the secretion of IL-10 and TGF-β1. Tregs are most likely involved in the triptolide-mediated regulation of bone metabolism and may provide a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory bone destruction.

Inhibition of titanium-particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis after local administration of dopamine and suppression of osteoclastogenesis via D2-like receptor signaling pathway.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation and extensive osteoclast formation play critical roles in wear-debris-induced peri-implant osteolysis. We investigated the potential impact of dopamine on titanium-particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis in vivo and in vitro. Twenty-eight C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to four groups: sham control (PBS treatment), titanium (titanium/PBS treatment), low- (titanium/2 μg kg(-1) day(-1) dopamine) and high-dopamine (titanium/10 μg kg(-1) day(-1) dopamine). After 2 weeks, mouse calvariae were collected for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometry analysis. Bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were isolated to assess osteoclast differentiation. Dopamine significantly reduced titanium-particle-induced osteolysis compared with the titanium group as confirmed by micro-CT and histomorphometric data. Osteoclast numbers were 34.9% and 59.7% (both p < 0.01) lower in the low- and high-dopamine-treatment groups, respectively, than in the titanium group. Additionally, low RANKL, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 immunochemistry staining were noted in dopamine-treatment groups. Dopamine markedly inhibited osteoclast formation, osteoclastogenesis-related gene expression and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in BMMs in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the resorption area was decreased with 10(-9) M and 10(-8) M dopamine to 40.0% and 14.5% (both p < 0.01), respectively. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of dopamine was reversed by the D2-like-receptor antagonist haloperidol but not by the D1-like-receptor antagonist SCH23390. These results suggest that dopamine therapy could be developed into an effective and safe method for osteolysis-related disease caused by chronic inflammation and excessive osteoclast formation.

Inhibition of osteolysis after local administration of osthole in a TCP particles-induced osteolysis model. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2015; 40:1545-52. [PMID: 26498175 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-015-3021-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2015] [Accepted: 10/12/2015] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Wear debris-induced osteolysis and aseptic loosening are the most frequent late complications of total joint arthroplasty leading to revision of the prosthesis. However, no effective measures for the prevention and treatment of particles-induced osteolysis currently exist. Here, we investigated the efficacy of local administration of osthole on tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles-induced osteolysis in a murine calvarial model. METHODS TCP particles were implanted over the calvaria of ICR mice, and established TCP particles-induced osteolysis model. On days one, four, seven, ten and thirteen post-surgery, osthole (10 mg/kg) or phosphate buffer saline (PBS) were subcutaneously injected into the calvaria of TCP particles-implanted or sham-operated mice. Two weeks later, blood, the periosteum and the calvaria were collected and processed for bone turnover markers, pro-inflammatory cytokine, histomorphometric and molecular analysis. RESULTS Osthole (10 mg/kg) markedly prevented TCP particles-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in a mouse calvarial model. Osthole also inhibited the decrease of serum osteocalcin level and calvarial alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and prevented the increase in the activity of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K in the mouse calvaria. Furthermore, osthole obviously reduced the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) into the periosteum. Western blotting demonstrated TCP particles caused a remarkable endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response in the mouse calvaria, which was obviously blocked by osthole treatment. CONCLUSION These results suggest that local administration of osthole inhibits TCP particles-induced osteolysis in the mouse calvarial in vivo, which may be mediated by inhibition of the ER stress signaling pathway, and it will be developed as a new drug in the prevention and treatment of destructive diseases caused by prosthetic wear particles.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening is associated with the development of wear debris-induced peri-implant osteolytic bone disease caused by an increased osteoclastic bone resorption and decreased osteoblastic bone formation. However, no effective measures for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant osteolysis currently exist. The aim of this study was to determine whether lithium chloride (LiCl), a selective inhibitor of glycogen synthetase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β), mitigates wear debris-induced osteolysis in a murine calvarial model of osteolysis. GSK-3β is activated by titanium (Ti) particles, and implantation of Ti particles on the calvarial surface in C57BL/6 mice resulted in osteolysis caused by an increase in the number of osteoclasts and a decrease in the number of osteoblasts. Mice implanted with Ti particles were gavage-fed LiCl (50 or 200 mg kg(-1)d(-1)), 6 days per week for 2 weeks. The LiCl treatment significantly inhibited GSK-3β activity and increased β-catenin and axin-2 expression in a dose-dependent manner, dramatically mitigating the Ti particle-induced suppression of osteoblast numbers and the expression of bone formation markers. Finally, we demonstrated that inhibition of GSK-3β suppresses osteoclast differentiation and reduces the severity of Ti particle-induced osteolysis. The results of this study indicate that Ti particle-induced osteolysis is partly dependent on GSK-3β and, therefore, the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. This suggests that selective inhibitors of GSK-3β such as LiCl may help prevent and treat wear debris-induced osteolysis.
