Xue Y, Zhou Y, Li C, Zhang J, Liu F, Shi R. Causal relationship between Interleukin-27 expression levels and osteoporosis: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:680. [PMID: 39210324 PMCID: PMC11363690 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07765-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the causal relationship between Interleukin-27 (IL-27) and osteoporosis by bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS Firstly, the genome-wide association study summary data of osteoporosis (finn-b-M13_OSTEOPOROSIS) and IL-27 levels (ebi-a-GCST90012017) were picked out from the Integrative Epidemiology Unit (IEU) OpenGWAS database. After filtrating instrumental variables (IVs), the bidirectional MR analysis between IL-27 levels and osteoporosis was performed by MR-Egger, Weighted median, Simple mode, Weighted mode, and Inverse variance weighted (IVW). Subsequently, the sensitivity analysis was adopted to evaluate the reliability of the MR results via the Heterogeneity, Horizontal pleiotropy test and Leave-One-Out (LOO) analysis. Finally, the enrichment analysis of genes corresponding to SNPs related to IL-27 levels derived from eQTLGen database was executed to explore in depth the biological function and regulatory mechanism of these genes on osteoporosis occurrence. RESULTS The bidirectional MR results based on IVW method revealed that IL-27 level as a risk factor was causally related to osteoporosis (P = 0.004, odds ratio (OR) = 1.123, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.037-1.217), whereas osteoporosis was not in significant connection with IL-27 levels (P > 0.05). In regard to the sensitivity analysis for forward MR results, there was no heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy, and no SNPs relevant to IL-27 levels existed severe bias, suggesting the reliability of forward MR analysis. Furthermore, a total of 74 genes corresponding to 26 SNPs of IL-27 levels were obtained and were mainly involved in immune and inflammatory pathways including MyD88-dependent toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway and so forth. CONCLUSIONS This study supported that IL-27 level as a risk factor was causally connected with osteoporosis and might regulate the disease occurrence and progression by means of immune and inflammatory mechanisms, which could provide important reference and evidence for further exploring the role of IL-27 in the development of osteoporosis.

J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:1607-1619.

Abstract
Metrnl, recently identified as an adipokine, is a secreted protein notably expressed in white adipose tissue, barrier tissues, and activated macrophages. This adipokine plays a pivotal role in counteracting obesity-induced insulin resistance. It enhances adipose tissue functionality by promoting adipocyte differentiation, activating metabolic pathways, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Extensive research has identified Metrnl as a key player in modulating inflammatory responses and as an integral regulator of muscle regeneration. These findings position Metrnl as a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target in treating inflammation-associated pathologies. Despite this, the specific anti-inflammatory mechanisms of Metrnl in immune-mediated osteolysis and arthritis remain elusive, warranting further investigation. In this review, we will briefly elaborate on the role of Metrnl in anti-inflammation function in inflammation-related osteolysis, arthritis, and pathological bone resorption, which could facilitate Metrnl's clinical application as a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent bone loss. While the pathogenesis of elbow stiffness remains elusive, current literature suggests that Metrnl likely exerts a pivotal role in its development.

Int Endod J 2023; 56:1432-1445. [PMID: 37712904 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism of action of root resorption in a permanent tooth can be classified as infection-related (e.g., microbial infection) or non-infection-related (e.g., sterile damage). Infection induced root resorption occurs due to bacterial invasion. Non-infection-related root resorption stimulates the immune system through a different mechanism. OBJECTIVES The aim of this narrative review is to describe the pathophysiologic process of non-infection-related inflammatory processes involved in root resorption of permanent teeth. METHODS A literature search on root resorption was conducted using Scopus (PubMed and Medline) and Google Scholar databases to highlight the pathophysiology of bone and root resorption in non-infection-related situations. The search included key words covering the relevant category. It included in vitro and in vivo studies, systematic reviews, case series, reviews, and textbooks in English. Conference proceedings, lectures and letters to the editor were excluded. RESULTS Three types of root resorption are related to the non-infection mechanism of action, which includes surface resorption due to either trauma or excessive orthodontic forces, external replacement resorption and external cervical resorption. The triggers are usually damage associated molecular patterns and hypoxia conditions. During this phase macrophages and clastic cells act to eliminate the damaged tissue and bone, eventually enabling root resorption and bone repair as part of wound healing. DISCUSSION The resorption of the root occurs during the inflammatory phase of wound healing. In this phase, damaged tissues are recognized by macrophages and neutrophiles that secrete interlaukines such as TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8. Together with the hypoxia condition that accelarates the secretion of growth factors, the repair of the damaged perioduntiom, including damaged bone, is initiated. If the precementum and cementoblast are injured, root resorption can occur. CONCLUSIONS Wound healing exhibits different patterns of action that involves immune stimulation in a bio-physiological activity, that occurs in the proper sequence, with overlapping phases. Two pathologic conditions, DAMPs and hypoxia, can activate the immune cells including clastic cells, eliminating damaged tissue and bone. Under certain conditions, root resorption occurs as a side effect.

Abstract
Joint replacement surgery is the most effective treatment for end-stage arthritis. Aseptic loosening caused by periprosthetic osteolysis is a common complication after joint replacement. Inflammation induced by wear particles derived from prosthetic biomaterials is a major cause of osteolysis. We emphasize that bone marrow-derived macrophages and their fusion-derived osteoclasts play a key role in this pathological process. Researchers have developed multiple intervention approaches to regulate macrophage/osteoclast activation. Aiming at wear particle-induced periprosthetic aseptic osteolysis, this review separately discusses the molecular mechanism of regulation of ROS formation and inflammatory response through intervention of macrophage/osteoclast RANKL-MAPKs-NF-κB pathway. These molecular mechanisms regulate osteoclast activation in different ways, but they are not isolated from each other. There is also a lot of crosstalk among the different mechanisms. In addition, other bone and joint diseases related to osteoclast activation are also briefly introduced. Therefore, we discuss these new findings in the context of existing work with a view to developing new strategies for wear particle-associated osteolysis based on the regulation of macrophages/osteoclasts.

Abstract
The nature of aseptic prosthetic loosening mainly relates to the wear particles that induce inflammation and subsequent osteoclastogenesis. The ideal approach to impede wear particle-induced osteolysis should minimize inflammation and osteoclastogenesis. In this work, Co29Cr9W3Cu particles were used as a research model for the first time to explore the response of Co29Cr9W3Cu particles to inflammatory response and osteoclast activation in vitro and in vivo by using Co29Cr9W particles as the control group. In vitro studies showed that the Co29Cr9W3Cu particles could promote the generation of M2-phenotype macrophages and increase the expression level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, while inhibiting the formation of M1-phenotype macrophages and down-regulating the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β; More importantly, the Co29Cr9W3Cu particles reduced the expression of NF-κB and downstream osteoclast related-specific transcription marker genes, such as TRAP, NFATc1, and Cath-K; In vivo results indicated that the Co29Cr9W3Cu particles exposed to murine calvarial contributed to decreasing the amount of osteoclast and osteolysis area. These findings collectively demonstrated that Cu-bearing cobalt-chromium alloy may potentially delay the development of aseptic prosthetic loosening induced by wear particles, which is expected to provide evidence of Co29Cr9W3Cu alloy as an alternative material of joint implants with anti-wear associated osteolysis.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a disabling disease with high mortality in China but the detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms remain to be investigated. Macrophages are considered the key cells in osteoimmunology, and the cross-talk between bone macrophages and other cells in the microenvironment is involved in maintaining bone homeostasis. M1 polarized macrophages launch a chronic inflammatory response and secrete a broad spectrum of cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and chemokines to initiate a chronic inflammatory state in GIONFH. M2 macrophage is the alternatively activated anti-inflammatory type distributed mainly in the perivascular area of the necrotic femoral head. In the development of GIONFH, injured bone vascular endothelial cells and necrotic bone activate the TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway, promote dimerization of PKM2 and subsequently enhance the production of HIF-1, inducing metabolic transformation of macrophage to the M1 phenotype. Considering these findings, putative interventions by local chemokine regulation to correct the imbalance between M1/M2 polarized macrophages by switching macrophages to an M2 phenotype, or inhibiting the adoption of an M1 phenotype appear to be plausible regimens for preventing or intervening GIONFH in the early stage. However, these results were mainly obtained by in vitro tissue or experimental animal model. Further studies to completely elucidate the alterations of the M1/M2 macrophage polarization and functions of macrophages in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head are imperative.

Abstract
Vitamin E (VE) is currently an approved antioxidant to improve the oxidation stability of highly crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) insert used commercially in total joint arthroplasty. However, the decrease in crosslink density caused by VE reduces wear resistance of UHMWPE, showing an uncoordinated challenge. In this work, we hypothesized that D-sorbitol (DS) as a secondary antioxidant can improve the antioxidant efficacy of VE on chemically crosslinked UHMWPE. The combined effect of VE and DS on oxidation stability of UHMWPE was investigated at a set of controlled hybrid antioxidant content. The hybrid antioxidant strategy showed significantly synergistic enhancement on the oxidation stability of chemically crosslinked UHMWPE compared with the single VE strategy. More strikingly, the crosslink density of the blends with hybrid antioxidants stayed at a high level since DS is not sensitive to crosslinking. The relationships between oxidation stability, mechanical properties, crosslink density, and crystallinity were investigated, by which the clinically relevant overall performance of UHMWPE was optimized. This work provides a leading-edge design mean for the development of joint bearings.

Abstract
Interleukin-27 is a pleiotropic cytokine whose functions during bacterial infections remain controversial, and its role in patients with S. aureus osteomyelitis is unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we completed a clinical study and observed elevated serum IL-27 levels (20-fold higher, P < 0.05) in patients compared with healthy controls. Remarkably, IL-27 serum levels were 60-fold higher in patients immediately following septic death than in uninfected patients (P < 0.05), suggesting a pathogenic role of IL-27. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated S. aureus osteomyelitis in WT and IL-27Rα-/- mice with and without exogenous IL-27 induction by intramuscular injection of rAAV-IL-27p28 or rAAV-GFP, respectively. We found that IL-27 was induced at the surgical site within 1 day of S. aureus infection of bone and was expressed by M0, M1 and M2 macrophages and osteoblasts but not by osteoclasts. Unexpectedly, exogenous IL-27p28 (~2 ng·mL-1 in serum) delivery ameliorated soft tissue abscesses and peri-implant bone loss during infection, accompanied by enhanced local IL-27 expression, significant accumulation of RORγt+ neutrophils at the infection site, a decrease in RANK+ cells, and compromised osteoclast formation. These effects were not observed in IL-27Rα-/- mice compared with WT mice, suggesting that IL-27 is dispensable for immunity but mediates redundant immune and bone cell functions during infection. In vitro studies and bulk RNA-seq of infected tibiae showed that IL-27 increased nos1, nos2, il17a, il17f, and rorc expression but did not directly stimulate chemotaxis. Collectively, these results identify a novel phenomenon of IL-27 expression by osteoblasts immediately following S. aureus infection of bone and suggest a protective role of systemic IL-27 in osteomyelitis.

Abstract
There is currently no therapy available for periprosthetic osteolysis, the most common cause of arthroplasty failure. Here, the role of AnxA1 in periprosthetic osteolysis and potential therapeutics were investigated. Reducing the expression of AnxA1 in calvarial tissue was found to be associated with increased osteolytic lesions and the osteolytic lesions induced by debris implantation were more severe in AnxA1-defecient mice than in wild-type mice. AnxA1 inhibits the differentiation of osteoclasts through suppressing NFκB signaling and promoting the PPAR-γ pathway. Administration of N-terminal-AnxA1 (Ac2-26 peptide) onto calvariae significantly reduced osteolytic lesions triggered by wear debris. These therapeutic effects were abrogated in mice that had received the PPAR-γ antagonist, suggesting that the AnxA1/PPAR-γ axis has an inhibitory role in osteolysis. The administration of Ac2–26 suppressed osteolysis induced by TNF-α and RANKL injections in mice. These findings indicate that AnxA1 is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis. Periprosthetic osteolysis is a cause of arthroplasty failure without available therapies. Here the authors show that Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is involved in in periprosthetic osteolysis and exerts potential therapeutic effects through suppressing NFκB signaling and promoting the PPAR-γ pathway resulting in inhibition of inflammation and osteoclasts differentiation induced by wear debris.

Abstract
Tissue engineering strategies for treating bone loss to date have largely focused on targeting stem cells or vascularization. Immune cells, including macrophages and T cells, can also indirectly enhance bone healing via cytokine secretion to interact with other bone niche cells. Bone niche cues and local immune environment vary depending on anatomical location, size of defects and disease types. As such, it is critical to evaluate the role of the immune system in the context of specific bone niche and different disease types. This review focuses on immunomodulation research for bone applications using biomaterials and cell-based strategies, with a unique perspective from different disease types. We first reviewed applications for prolonging orthopaedic implant lifetime and enhancing fracture healing, two clinical challenges where immunomodulatory strategies were initially developed for orthopedic applications. We then reviewed recent research progress in harnessing immunomodulatory strategies for regenerating critical-sized, long bone or cranial bone defects, and treating osteolytic bone diseases. Remaining gaps in knowledge, future directions and opportunities were also discussed.

Inflammasome Activation in the Hip Synovium of Rapidly Destructive Coxopathy Patients and Its Relationship with the Development of Synovitis and Bone Loss. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2022; 192:794-804. [PMID: 35292262 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2022.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Rapidly destructive coxopathy (RDC), a rare disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by the rapid destruction of the hip joint. In the current study, the potential involvement of inflammasome signaling in the progression of RDC was investigated. Histopathologic changes and the gene expression of inflammasome activation markers in hip synovial tissues collected from patients with RDC were evaluated and compared with those of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients. The synovial tissues of patients with RDC exhibited remarkable increases in the number of infiltrated macrophages and osteoclasts, and the expression of inflammasome activation markers was also increased compared with those of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients. To further understand the histopathologic changes in the joint, a co-culture model of macrophages and synoviocytes that mimicked the joint environment was developed. Remarkably, the gene expression levels of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL1B, TNFA, ADMTS4, ADMTS5, MMP3, MMP9, and RANKL were significantly elevated in the synoviocytes that were co-cultured with activated THP-1 macrophages, suggesting the association between synovitis and inflammasome activation. Consistent with these findings, osteoclast precursor cells that were co-cultured with stimulated synoviocytes exhibited an increased number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells, compared with cells that were co-cultured with non-stimulated synoviocytes. These findings suggest that the activation of inflammasome signaling in the synovium results in an increase in local inflammation and osteoclastogenesis, thus leading to the rapid bone destruction in RDC.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening is a major complication of prosthetic joint surgery and is associated with impaired osteoblast homeostasis. Cortistatin (CST) is a neuropeptide that protects against inflammatory conditions. In this study, we found that expression of CST was diminished in patients with prosthetic joint loosening and in titanium (Ti) particle-induced animal models. A Ti particle-induced calvarial osteolysis model was established in wild-type and CST gene knockout mice; CST deficiency enhanced, while exogenously added CST attenuated, the severity of Ti particle-mediated osteolysis. CST protected against inflammation as well as apoptosis and maintained the osteogenic function of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts upon stimulation with Ti particles. Furthermore, CST antagonized reactive oxygen species production and suppressed caspase-3-associated apoptosis mediated by Ti particles in osteoblasts. Additionally, CST protects against Ti particle-induced osteolysis through tumor necrosis factor receptor 1. Taken together, CST might provide a therapeutic strategy for wear debris-induced inflammatory osteolysis.

LncRNA Neat1 promotes the macrophage inflammatory response and acts as a therapeutic target in titanium particle-induced osteolysis. Acta Biomater 2022; 142:345-360. [PMID: 35151924 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Aseptic loosening (AL), secondary to particle-caused periprosthetic osteolysis, is one of the main reasons of artificial joint failure. Suppressing the macrophage inflammatory response caused by wear particles extends the life of prosthesis, and the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play a predominant part in it. Here, titanium particles' (TiPs') stimulation increases both the cytoplasmic and nuclear levels of lncRNA Neat1 in bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs), which further induces the inflammatory response. Mechanically, Neat1 facilitates Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) transcription by reducing the transcriptional factor KLF4, which further activates the NF-κB pathway, NLRP3 inflammation, and M1 polarization in BMDMs. Cytoplasmic Neat1 also works as an miRNA sponge in miR-188-5p-regulated BTK expression in the post-transcriptional stage. In vivo, Neat1 downregulation can reduce the TiP-induced pro-inflammatory factors and reverse the osteolysis induced by BTK overexpression. In addition, the PLGA-based microparticles loaded with si-Neat1 are developed for the treatment of the mouse calvarial osteolysis model via local injection, presenting satisfactory anti-osteolysis efficacy. These findings indicate that Neat1 is a key regulator of AL. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Due to released particles, aseptic loosening (AL) is the most common reason for prosthesis failure and surgical revision and represents a substantial economic burden worldwide. Herein, we reported that lncRNA Neat1 is a key regulator in regulating wear particles-induced osteolysis by activating NF-κB pathway, NLRP3 inflammation and M1 polarization via BTK, and the underlying mechanisms of Neat1-BTK interaction were further portrayed. For potential clinical application, the microparticles are developed for effective si-Neat1 delivery, leading to a dramatically enhanced effect for the treatment of osteolysis, which might be a novel strategy to extend the life of the implant.

Abstract
The introduction of vitamin E-blended ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (VE-UHMWPE) for use in prosthetic components of hip implants has resulted in the production of implants that have excellent mechanical properties and substantially less adverse cellular responses. Given the importance of a biological response to wear in the survival of a prosthesis, we generated wear debris from UHMWPE that had been prepared with different concentrations of vitamin E of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1% and evaluated their biological reaction in vitro and in vivo. All types of VE-UHMWPE debris promoted a significantly lower expression of Tnf-α in murine peritoneal macrophages than that induced by conventional UHMWPE debris. However, levels of Tnf-α were not significantly different among the macrophages that were stimulated with VE-UHMWPE wear at the concentrations tested. The ability of wear debris to induce inflammatory osteolysis was assessed in a mouse calvarial osteolysis model. The expressions of Tnf-α, Il-6, and Rankl in granulomatous tissue formed around the wear debris were significantly reduced in mice that had been implanted with 0.3%VE-UHMWPE debris as compared to the corresponding values for mice that had been implanted with UHMWPE debris. Consistent with this finding, 0.3%VE-UHMWPE debris showed the lowest osteolytic activity, as evidenced by the reduced bone resorption area, the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells and the TRAP staining area. Our results suggested that a 0.3% vitamin E concentration is the most appropriate concentration for use in prosthetic components with a reduced adverse cellular response for prolonging the life-span of the implant.

Abstract
Bone is a mineralized and elastic connective tissue that provides fundamental functions in the human body, including mechanical support to the muscles and joints, protection of vital organs and storage of minerals. Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling processes to maintain its architecture, shape, and function throughout life. One of the most important medical discoveries of recent decades has been that the immune system is involved in bone remodeling. Indeed, chronic inflammation has been recognized as the most significant factor influencing bone homeostasis, causing a shift in the bone remodeling process toward pathological bone resorption. Bone osteolytic diseases typified by excessive bone resorption account for one of the greatest causes of disability worldwide, with significant economic and public health burdens. From this perspective, we discuss the recent findings and discoveries highlighting the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate this process in the bone microenvironment, in addition to the current therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteolytic bone diseases.

Cardiotrophin Like Cytokine Factor 1 (CLCF1) alleviates bone loss in osteoporosis mouse models by suppressing osteoclast differentiation through activating interferon signaling and repressing the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway. Bone 2021; 153:116140.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that immune factors that regulate osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption might be promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis. The expression of CLCF1, an immune cell-derived molecule, has been reported to be reduced in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. This suggests that it may be involved in bone remodeling. Thus, we explored the functional role of CLCF1 in osteoclastogenesis and bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Surprisingly, the administration of recombinant CLCF1 repressed excessive bone loss in ovariectomized mice and prevented RANKL-induced bone loss in calvarial mouse model. Likewise, the addition of recombinant CLCF1 to RANKL-stimulated monocytes resulted in a significant suppression in the number of differentiated osteoclasts with small resorption areas being observed on dentine slices in vitro. At the same dosage, CLCF1 did not exhibit any detectable negative effects on the differentiation of osteoblasts. Mechanistically, the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation by the CLCF1 treatment appears to be related to the activation of interferon signaling (IFN) and the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Interestingly, the expression of the main components of IFN-signaling namely, STAT1 and IRF1, was detected in macrophages as early as 1 h after stimulation with CLCF1. Consistent with these results, the blockade of STAT1 in macrophages abolished the inhibitory effect of CLCF1 on osteoclast differentiation in vitro. These collective findings point to a novel immunoregulatory function of CLCF1 in bone remodeling and highlight it as a potentially useful therapeutic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Macrophages are generally thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening through initiating periprosthetic inflammation and pathological bone resorption. The aim of this study was to identify macrophage-derived factors that promote osteoclast differentiation and periprosthetic bone destruction. To achieve this, we examined the effects of 12 macrophage-derived factors that were identified by RNA-seq analysis of stimulated macrophages on osteoclast differentiation. Surprisingly, thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) was found to trigger significant number of osteoclasts that exhibited resorbing activities on dentine slices. Functionally, TYMP knockdown reduced the number of osteoclasts in macrophages that had been stimulated with polyethylene debris. TYMP were detected in serum and synovial tissues of patients that had been diagnosed with aseptic loosening. Moreover, the administration of TYMP onto calvariae of mice induced pathological bone resorption that was accompanied by an excessive infiltration of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts. The RNA-seq for TYMP-induced-osteoclasts was then performed in an effort to understand action mode of TYMP. TYMP stimulation appeared to activate the tyrosine kinase FYN signaling associated with osteoclast formation. Oral administration of saracatinib, a FYN kinase inhibitor, significantly suppressed formation of bone osteolytic lesions in a polyethylene debris-induced osteolysis model. Our findings highlight a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention in periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening caused by peri-implant osteolysis (PIO) is a common complication after joint replacement, and there is still no better treatment than revision surgery. The wear particle-induced inflammation response, especially subsequent osteoclastic bone resorption, is responsible for PIO. As the importance of wear particles in inducing autophagy in cells around the prosthesis in PIO has been discovered, this might be a central process underlying aseptic loosening. However, the role of autophagy induced by wear particles in osteoclastogenesis during PIO remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of autophagy in osteoclastogenesis and verified it in a mouse calvarial osteolysis model. We found that osteoclasts were increased in the interface membranes of patients with aseptic loosening. In vitro, knocking down the Atg5 gene or using autophagy inhibitors (3-MA, LY294002) to inhibit autophagy was found to repress osteoclastogenesis and decrease expression of the osteoclast-related genes TRAP, cathepsin K, and matrix metalloprotein 9 (MMP-9) with or without titanium (Ti) particles. In vivo, 3-MA and LY294002 repressed Ti particle-stimulated osteolysis and osteoclastogenesis and reduced expression of the pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Our results suggest that 3-MA and LY294002 might be the potential medicines to prevent and treat PIO and aseptic loosening.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in macrophages exposed to ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or vitamin E-blended UHMWPE (VE-UHMWPE) particles, thereby providing potential targets for the treatment of inflammatory osteolysis. METHODS The GSE104589 dataset of genome expression in macrophages exposed to UHMWPE and VE-UHMWPE was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID, and the corresponding protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed from the STRING database. Important modules were selected using the molecular complex detection algorithm, and hub genes were identified in cytoHubba. MicroRNAs targeting these DEGs were obtained from the TarBase, miRTarBase, and miRecords databases, while transcription factors (TFs) targeting DEGs were predicted from the ENCODE database. Finally, the top five DEGs were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS A total of 112 DEGs (44 upregulated and 68 downregulated DEGs) were screened. Immune and inflammatory responses were significantly related in gene ontology analysis, and 18 signaling pathways were enriched according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. The PPI network involving 85 nodes and 266 protein pairs indicated that IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5 and CCL4 showed higher degrees. qRT-PCR analysis of the top five DEGs revealed a decreasing trend in the VE-UHMWPE group compared with the UHMWPE group. Key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) were predicted to be correlated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory osteolysis through microRNA-TF regulatory network analysis. CONCLUSION The present study helps shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in the wear-induced inflammatory process after blending vitamin E with UHMWPE. Hub genes including IL1β, CXCL1, ICAM1, CCL5, and CCL4, key microRNAs (hsa-miR-144, hsa-miR-21, and hsa-miR-221) and TFs (RELA and NFKB1) may serve as prognostic and therapeutic targets of inflammatory osteolysis.

Blockade of XCL1/Lymphotactin Ameliorates Severity of Periprosthetic Osteolysis Triggered by Polyethylene-Particles. Front Immunol 2020; 11:1720.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis induced by orthopedic implant-wear particles continues to be the leading cause of arthroplasty failure in majority of patients. Release of the wear debris results in a chronic local inflammatory response typified by the recruitment of immune cells, including macrophages. The cellular mediators derived from activated macrophages favor the osteoclast-bone resorbing activity resulting in bone loss at the site of implant and loosening of the prosthetic components. Emerging evidence suggests that chemokines and their receptors are involved in the progression of periprosthetic osteolysis associated with aseptic implant loosening. In the current study, we investigated the potential role of chemokine C-motif-ligand-1 (XCL1) in the pathogenesis of inflammatory osteolysis induced by wear particles. Expressions of XCL1 and its receptor XCR1 were evident in synovial fluids and tissues surrounding hip-implants of patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty. Furthermore, murine calvarial osteolysis model induced by ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles was used to study the role of XCL1 in the development of inflammatory osteolysis. Mice received single injection of recombinant XCL1 onto the calvariae after implantation of particles exhibited significantly greater osteolytic lesions than the control mice. In contrast, blockade of XCL1 by neutralizing antibody significantly reduced bone erosion and the number of bone-resorbing mature osteoclasts induced by UHMWPE particles. In consistence with the results, transplantation of XCL1-soaked sponge onto calvariae caused osteolytic lesions coincident with excessive infiltration of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts. These results suggested that XCL1 might be involved in the development of periprosthetic osteolysis through promoting infiltration of inflammatory cells and bone resorbing-osteoclasts. Our further results demonstrated that supplementing recombinant XCL1 to cultured human monocytes stimulated with the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) promoted osteoclastogenesis and the osteoclast-bone resorbing activity. Moreover, recombinant XCL1 promoted the expression of inflammatory and osteoclastogenic factors, including IL-6, IL-8, and RANKL in human differentiated osteoblasts. Together, these results suggested the potential role of XCL1 in the pathogenesis of periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Our data broaden knowledge of the pathogenesis of aseptic prosthesis loosening and highlight a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention.
