Kandaswamy E, Harsha M, Joshi VM. Titanium corrosion products from dental implants and their effect on cells and cytokine release: A review. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 84:127464. [PMID: 38703537 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2024.127464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Titanium is considered to be an inert material owing to the ability of the material to form a passive titanium oxide layer. However, once the titanium oxide layer is lost, it can lead to exposure of the underlying titanium substructure and can undergo corrosion. SUMMARY The article explores the role of titanium ions and particles from dental implants on cells, cytokine release, and on the systemic redistribution of these particles as well as theories proposed to elucidate the effects of these particles on peri-implant inflammation based on evidence from in-vitro, human, and animal studies. Titanium particles and ions have a pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effect on cells and promote the release of pro-inflammatory mediators like cytokines. Three theories to explain etiopathogenesis have been proposed, one based on microbial dysbiosis, the second based on titanium particles and ions and the third based on a synergistic effect between microbiome and titanium particles on the host. CONCLUSION There is clear evidence from in-vitro and limited human and animal studies that titanium particles released from dental implants have a detrimental effect on cells directly and through the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Future clinical and translational studies are required to clarify the role of titanium particles and ions in peri-implant inflammation and the etiopathogenesis of peri-implantitis.

Effect of functionalized titanium particles with dexamethasone-loaded nanospheres on macrophage polarization and activity. Dent Mater 2024; 40:66-79. [PMID: 37914549 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.10.023] [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: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of titanium micro particles (TiP) previously functionalized with nanoparticles doped with dexamethasone (Dex) and doxycycline (Dox), on macrophage polarization and activity. METHODS Macrophages RAW264.7 were cultured in the presence TiP loaded with dexamethasone -NPs (Dex)- and doxycycline -NPs (Dox)-, and as control, TiP with or without doped NPs. Cells were tested with and without previous bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) stimulation. Their morphology, proliferation, cytotoxicity, phenotypic change, and cytokines release were assessed by LIVE/DEAD, DNA release, metabolic activity, brightfield and scanning electron microscopy. The test Kruskall-Wallis was used for comparisons, while the cytokine expression profiles were examined by hierarchical clustering (p < 0.05). RESULTS Upon exposure with TiP macrophages were activated and polarized to M1, but without depicting cytotoxic effects. The particles were phagocytised, and vacuolized. When exposed to functionalised TiP with NPs(Dex) and NPs(Dox), the ratio M1/M2 was up to forty times lower compared to TiP alone. When exposed to LPS, TiP reduced cell viability in half. Functionalised TiP with NPs(Dex) inhibited the cytokine release exerted by TiP on macrophages. When macrophages were exposed to functionalised TiPs with NPs(Dex) with and without LPS, the effect of TiP on cytokine secretion was inhibited. SIGNIFICANCE Functionalised TiPs with NPs(Dex) and NPs(Dox) may potentially have beneficial effects on modulating titanium and LPS-related inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Titanium particles have been shown in in-vitro studies to lead to the activation of specific pathways, this work aims to systematically review in- vivo studies examining peri-implant and periodontal tissues at the transcriptome, proteome, epigenome and genome level to reveal implant material-related processes favoring peri-implantitis development investigated in animal and human trials. METHODS Inquiring three literature databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane) a systematic search based on a priori defined PICOs was conducted: '-omics' studies comparing molecular signatures in healthy and infected peri-implant sites and/or healthy and periodontitis-affected teeth in animals/humans. After risk of bias assessments, lists of differentially expressed genes and results of functional enrichment analyses were compiled whenever possible. RESULTS Out of 2187 screened articles 9 publications were deemed eligible. Both healthy and inflamed peri-implant tissues showed distinct gene expression patterns compared to healthy/diseased periodontal tissues in animal (n = 4) or human studies (n = 5), with immune response, bone metabolism and oxidative stress being affected the most. Due to the lack of available re-analyzable data and inconsistency in methodology of the eligible studies, integrative analyses on differential gene expression were not applicable CONCLUSION: The differences of transcriptomic signatures in between peri-implant lesions compared to periodontal tissue might be related to titanium particles arising from dental implants and are in line with the in-vitro data recently published by our group. Nevertheless, limitations emerge from small sample sizes of included studies and insufficient publication of re-analyzable data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Since peri-implantitis differs clinically and histopathologically from periodontitis, implant wear debris is considered to play a role in the destructive processes. This work aims to systematically review if titanium particles affect oral-related cells through changes in molecular signatures (e.g., transcriptome, proteome, epigenome), thereby promoting peri-implantitis. METHODS Leveraging three literature databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane) a systematic search based on a priori defined PICOs was conducted: '-omics' studies examining titanium exposure in oral-related cells. After risk of bias assessments, lists of differentially expressed genes, proteins, and results of functional enrichment analyses were compiled. The significance of overlapping genes across multiple studies was assessed via Monte Carlo simulation and their ranking was verified using rank aggregation. RESULTS Out of 2104 screened articles we found 12 eligible publications. A significant overlap of gene expression in oral-related cells exposed to titanium particles was found in four studies. Furthermore, changes in biological processes like immune/inflammatory or stress response as well as toll-like receptor (TLR) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways were linked to titanium in transcriptome and proteome studies. Epigenetic changes caused by titanium were detected but inconsistent. CONCLUSION An influence of titanium implant wear debris on the development and progression of peri-implantitis is plausible but needs to be proven in further studies. Limitations arise from small sample sizes of included studies and insufficient publication of re-analyzable data.

Titanium or Biodegradable Osteosynthesis in Maxillofacial Surgery? In Vitro and In Vivo Performances. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14142782. [PMID: 35890557 PMCID: PMC9316877 DOI: 10.3390/polym14142782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteosynthesis systems are used to fixate bone segments in maxillofacial surgery. Titanium osteosynthesis systems are currently the gold standard. However, the disadvantages result in symptomatic removal in up to 40% of cases. Biodegradable osteosynthesis systems, composed of degradable polymers, could reduce the need for removal of osteosynthesis systems while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages of titanium osteosyntheses. However, disadvantages of biodegradable systems include decreased mechanical properties and possible foreign body reactions. In this review, the literature that focused on the in vitro and in vivo performances of biodegradable and titanium osteosyntheses is discussed. The focus was on factors underlying the favorable clinical outcome of osteosyntheses, including the degradation characteristics of biodegradable osteosyntheses and the host response they elicit. Furthermore, recommendations for clinical usage and future research are given. Based on the available (clinical) evidence, biodegradable copolymeric osteosyntheses are a viable alternative to titanium osteosyntheses when applied to treat maxillofacial trauma, with similar efficacy and significantly lower symptomatic osteosynthesis removal. For orthognathic surgery, biodegradable copolymeric osteosyntheses are a valid alternative to titanium osteosyntheses, but a longer operation time is needed. An osteosynthesis system composed of an amorphous copolymer, preferably using ultrasound welding with well-contoured shapes and sufficient mechanical properties, has the greatest potential as a biocompatible biodegradable copolymeric osteosynthesis system. Future research should focus on surface modifications (e.g., nanogel coatings) and novel biodegradable materials (e.g., magnesium alloys and silk) to address the disadvantages of current osteosynthesis systems.

Abstract
The past decade has seen a growing appreciation for the role of the innate immune response in mediating repair and biomaterial directed tissue regeneration. The long-held view of the host immune/inflammatory response as an obstacle limiting stem cell regenerative activity, has given way to a fresh appreciation of the pivotal role the macrophage plays in orchestrating the resolution of inflammation and launching the process of remodelling and repair. In the context of bone, work over the past decade has established an essential coordinating role for macrophages in supporting bone repair and sustaining biomaterial driven osteogenesis. In this review evidence for the role of the macrophage in bone regeneration and repair is surveyed before discussing recent biomaterial and drug-delivery based approaches that target macrophage modulation with the goal of accelerating and enhancing bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Biomaterial design to repair craniomaxillofacial defects has largely focused on promoting bone regeneration, while there are many additional factors that influence this process. The bone microenvironment is complex, with various mechanical property differences between cortical and cancellous bone, a unique porous architecture, and multiple cell types that must maintain homeostasis. This complex environment includes a vascular architecture to deliver cells and nutrients, osteoblasts which form new bone, osteoclasts which resorb excess bone, and upon injury, inflammatory cells and bacteria which can lead to failure to repair. To create biomaterials able to regenerate these large missing portions of bone on par with autograft materials, design of these materials must include methods to overcome multiple obstacles to effective, efficient bone regeneration. These obstacles include infection and biofilm formation on the biomaterial surface, fibrous tissue formation resulting from ill-fitting implants or persistent inflammation, non-bone tissue formation such as cartilage from improper biomaterial signals to cells, and voids in bone infill or lengthy implant degradation times. Novel biomaterial designs may provide approaches to effectively induce osteogenesis and new bone formation, include design motifs that facilitate surgical handling, intraoperative modification and promote conformal fitting within complex defect geometries, induce a pro-healing immune response, and prevent bacterial infection. In this review, we discuss the bone injury microenvironment and methods of biomaterial design to overcome these obstacles, which if unaddressed, may result in failure of the implant to regenerate host bone.

Abstract
Titanium is considered to be a metal material with the best biological safety. Studies have proved that the titanium implanted in the bone continuously releases titanium particles (Ti particles), significantly increasing the total titanium content in human body. Generally, Ti particles are released slowly without causing a systemic immune response. However, the continuous increased local concentration may result in damage to the intraepithelial homeostasis, aggravation of inflammatory reaction in the surrounding tissues, bone resorption and implant detachment. They also migrate with blood flow and aggregate in the distal organ. The release of Ti particles is affected by the score of the implant surface structure, microenvironment wear and corrosion, medical operation wear, and so on, but the specific mechanism is not clear. Thus, it difficult to prevent the release completely. This paper reviews the causes of the Ti particles formation, the damage to the surrounding tissue, and its mechanism, in particular, methods for reducing the release and toxicity of the Ti particles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This integrative review aimed to report the toxic effect of submicron and nano-scale commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) debris on cells of peri-implant tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was carried out on the PubMed electronic platform using the following key terms: Ti "OR" titanium "AND" dental implants "AND" nanoparticles "OR" nano-scale debris "OR" nanometric debris "AND" osteoblasts "OR "cytotoxicity" OR "macrophage" OR "mutagenic" OR "peri-implantitis". The inclusion criteria involved articles published in the English language, until December 26, 2020, reporting the effect of nano-scale titanium particles as released from dental implants on the toxicity and damage of osteoblasts. RESULTS Of 258 articles identified, 14 articles were selected for this integrative review. Submicron and nano-scale cp Ti particles altered the behavior of cells in culture medium. An inflammatory response was triggered by macrophages, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, mesenchymal cells, and odontoblasts as indicated by the detection of several inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2. The formation of a bioactive complex composed of calcium and phosphorus on titanium nanoparticles allowed their binding to proteins leading to the cell internalization phenomenon. The nanoparticles induced mutagenic and carcinogenic effects into the cells. CONCLUSIONS The cytotoxic effect of debris released from dental implants depends on the size, concentration, and chemical composition of the particles. A high concentration of particles on nanometric scale intensifies the inflammatory responses with mutagenic potential of the surrounding cells. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Titanium ions and debris have been detected in peri-implant tissues with different size, concentration, and forms. The presence of metallic debris at peri-implant tissues also stimulates the migration of immune cells and inflammatory reactions. Cp Ti and TiO2 micro- and nano-scale particles can reach the bloodstream, accumulating in lungs, liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Wear of hip prostheses increases serum IGFBP-1 levels in patients with aseptic loosening. Sci Rep 2021; 11:576.

Abstract
The biological mechanisms involved in aseptic loosening include inflammation-associated and bone resorption-associated processes. Coordinated cellular actions result in biochemical imbalances with devastating consequences for the joint. Given that this condition is not known for showing systemic signs, we investigated whether circulating levels of inflammation-related proteins are altered in patients with aseptic loosening. Our study included 37 patients who underwent revision surgery due to hip osteolysis and aseptic loosening and 31 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. Using antibody arrays, we evaluated the serum levels of 320 proteins in four patients from each group. The results showed differences in insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) concentrations, which we then quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests in all study patients. The results confirmed that serum IGFBP-1 concentrations were higher in the revision surgery patients than in the hip arthroplasty patients. In vitro studies showed that exposure of human osteoblasts to titanium particles induced an IGFBP-1 release that further increased when exposure to particles was performed in media conditioned by human M1 macrophages. These findings suggest that elevated serum IGFBP-1 levels in patients with aseptic loosening can arise from increased local IGFBP-1 production in the inflammatory environment of the periprosthetic bed.

Abstract
The oral cavity is a complex environment that is constantly undergoing remodeling. This provides a favorable electrolytic aqueous condition, which causes the corrosion of titanium implants and the release of titanium (Ti) ions. The accumulation of Ti ions in the peri-implant tissues may affect the osteogenesis process. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the possible effects of Ti ions on osteoblast physiology and its underlying mechanism, specifically the MAPK/JNK signaling pathway. In the present study, MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were cultured the medium containing 10 ppm Ti ions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to analyze cell morphology and adhesion. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and western blotting were performed to evaluate the expression of proteins associated with osteogenesis such as Runx2 and Osterix. Nuclear translocation of JNK, a key factor of the MAPK signaling pathway, was visualized and analyzed using immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that 10 ppm Ti ions exerted negative effects on the biological behaviors of MC3T3-E1 cells, which exhibited reduced adhesion, ALP activity and osteogenic differentiation. It was also found that 10 ppm Ti ions activated the MAPK/JNK signaling pathway by promoting the nuclear translocation of JNK via phosphorylation. In addition, the inhibitory effects of 10 ppm Ti ions on MC3T3-E1 cells was found to be reversed by the JNK inhibitor SP600125. In conclusion, the preset study suggests that the MAPK/JNK signaling pathway serves a key role in the molecular mechanism underlying the changes in osteoblast behavior following Ti ion exposure. These findings may serve as a valuable reference point for the further in-depth exploration of peri-implant bone loss.

Titanium alloys: in vitro biological analyzes on biofilm formation, biocompatibility, cell differentiation to induce bone formation, and immunological response. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2019; 30:108. [PMID: 31535222 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-019-6310-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Biological effects of titanium (Ti) alloys were analyzed on biofilms of Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sanguinis, as well as on osteoblast-like cells (MG63) and murine macrophages (RAW 264.7). Standard samples composed of aluminum and vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V), and sample containing niobium (Ti-35Nb) and zirconium (Ti-13Nb-13Zr) were analyzed. Monomicrobial biofilms were formed on the Ti alloys. MG63 cells were grown with the alloys and the biocompatibility (MTT), total protein (TP) level, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mineralization nodules (MN) formation were verified. Levels of interleukins (IL-1β and IL-17), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and oxide nitric (NO) were checked, from RAW 264.7 cells supernatants. Data were statically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test, or T-test (P ≤ 0.05). Concerning the biofilm formation, Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy showed the best inhibitory effect on E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. And, it also acted similarly to the Ti-6Al-4V alloy on C. albicans and Streptococcus spp. Both alloys were biocompatible and similar to the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Additionally, Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was more effective for cell differentiation, as observed in the assays of ALP and MN. Regarding the stimulation for release of IL-1β and TNF-α, Ti-35Nb and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys inhibited similarly the synthesis of these molecules. However, both alloys stimulated the production of IL-17. Additionally, all Ti alloys showed the same effect for NO generation. Thus, Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was the most effective for inhibition of biofilm formation, cell differentiation, and stimulation for release of immune mediators.

Elevated Systemic L-Kynurenine/L-Tryptophan Ratio and Increased IL-1 Beta and Chemokine (CX3CL1, MCP-1) Proinflammatory Mediators in Patients with Long-Term Titanium Dental Implants. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8091368. [PMID: 31480733 PMCID: PMC6780981 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8091368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2019] [Revised: 08/27/2019] [Accepted: 08/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Titanium is the mean biocompatible metal found in dental titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V). The safety of certain dental biomaterial amalgams has been questioned in patients. The levels of several systemic cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-4: pg/mL) and chemokines (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), soluble fractalkine (CX3CL1: pg/mL) were determined using ELISA and compared between these study groups. The study included 30 controls without dental materials (cont), 57 patients with long-term titanium dental implants plus amalgams (A + I group) as well as 55 patients with long-term dental amalgam alone (A group). All patients (except controls) have had dental titanium implants (Ti-6Al-4V) and/or amalgams for at least 10 years (average: 15 years). We evaluated whether systemic levels of cytokines/chemokines, kyn/L-trp ratio and aromatic amino acid levels (HPLC: mM/L, Phe, L-Trp, His, Treo) could be altered in patients with long-term dental titanium and/or amalgams. These systemic markers were evaluated in 142 patients. The A + I group had higher L-Kynurenine/L-Tryptophan ratios than patients with long-term dental amalgam fillings alone (A). In addition, levels of IL-1 Beta cytokine, CX3CL1 and MCP-1 chemokines were higher in the A + I group than in the A group (A). The increased L-kyn/L-trp ratio and MCP-1 and fractalkine receptor (CX3CR1) elevations could suggest enhanced chemotactic responses by these chemokines in the A + I group.

Abstract
PURPOSE Titanium (Ti) is the key material used in dental implants because of its excellent biocompatibility. But wear and corrosion Ti particles had been widely reported to induce inflammation and promote bone absorption. However, little information is known about the damage of Ti particles on neurons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Trigeminal root ganglion (TRG) neurons were exposed to Ti particles (<5 μm). The electrophysiological properties of 2 main subtypes of voltage-gated potassium channels (VGPCs) (KA and KV) were examined by whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. RESULT With the presence of 0.25 mg/mL Ti particles, amplitudes of IK, A and IK, V were both obviously inhibited. For IK, A, the activation V1/2 shifted to the depolarizing direction with an increased k value, whereas the inactivation V1/2 showed obvious hyperdepolarizing shifts. For IK, V, 0.5 mg/mL Ti particles produced a depolarizing shift of activation V1/2 with a slower activation rate. No significant changes of its inactivation kinetics were found. CONCLUSION Titanium (Ti) particles might alter the electrophysiological properties of VGPCs on TRG neurons, which are likely to further influence the excitability of neurons.

Abstract
Ti6Al4V printing particles have been recently used for fabricating orthopedic implants. Removing these particles completely from fabricated implants is challenging. Furthermore, recycled particles are commonly used in fabrication without additional analysis. Ti6Al4V wear particles derived from orthopedic implants are known to induce inflammatory responses and osteolysis. However, the biosafety of printing particles remains unknown. Here, we investigated the proinflammatory and osteolysis-inducing effects of commonly used original and recycled Ti6Al4V printing particles in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated that although less serious effects were induced compared to wear particles, inflammatory responses and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption were induced by the original printing particles in a particle size-dependent manner. Recycled particles were found to more strongly stimulate bone resorption and inflammatory responses than the original particles; the in vivo effect was enhanced with an increase in particle concentration. Furthermore, the results of our in vitro experiments verified that the printing particles activate macrophages to secrete inflammatory cytokines and promote osteoclastogenesis, which is closely related to particle size and concentration. Taken together, our findings provide a valuable reference for the use of raw printing materials and examination of recycling procedures for implant fabrication. Ti6Al4V printing particles have been recently used for fabricating orthopedic implants.![]()

Abstract
In many biomedical applications, titanium forms an interface with tissues, which is crucial to ensure its long-term stability and safety. In order to exert control over this process, titanium implants have been treated with various methods that induce physicochemical changes at nano and microscales. In the past 20 years, most of the studies have been conducted to see the effect of topographical and physicochemical changes of titanium surface after surface treatments on cells behavior and bacteria adhesion. In this review, we will first briefly present some of these surface treatments either chemical or physical and we explain the biological responses to titanium with a specific focus on adverse immune reactions. More recently, a new trend has emerged in titanium surface science with a focus on the crystalline phase of titanium dioxide and the associated biological responses. In these recent studies, rutile and anatase are the major two polymorphs used for biomedical applications. In the second part of this review, we consider this emerging topic of the control of the crystalline phase of titanium and discuss its potential biological impacts. More in-depth analysis of treatment-related surface crystalline changes can significantly improve the control over titanium/host tissue interface and can result in considerable decreases in implant-related complications, which is currently a big burden on the healthcare system.

Abstract
We evaluated recently published articles relevant to the biological effects of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles on local endogenous cells required for normal bone homeostasis, repair, and implant osseointegration. Structural characteristics, size, stability, and agglomeration of TiO2 particles alter the viability and behavior of multiple bone-related cell types. Resulting shifts in bone homeostasis may increase bone resorption and lead to clinical incidents of osteolysis, implant loosening, and joint pain. TiO2 particles that enter cells (through endocytosis or Trojan horse mechanism) may further disrupt implant retention. We propose that cellular responses to titanium-based nanoparticles contribute to pathological mechanisms underlying the aseptic loosening of titanium-based metal implants.

Abstract
Samples of AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel were subjected either to grinding and polishing procedure, or to grinding and then low temperature glow-discharge nitriding treatment, or to grinding, nitriding and subsequently coating with collagen-I. Nitrided samples, even if only ground, show a higher corrosion resistance in PBS solution, in comparison with ground and polished AISI 316L. Biocompatibility was evaluated in vitro by incubating the samples with either peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), tested separately or in co-culture. HUVEC-PBMC co-culture and co-incubation of HUVEC with PBMC culture medium, after the previous incubation of PBMC with metallic samples, allowed to determine whether the incubation of PBMC with the different samples might affect HUVEC behaviour. Many biological parameters were considered: cell proliferation, release of cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and sICAM-1, gelatinolytic activity of MMPs, and ICAM-1 protein expression. Nitriding treatment, with or without collagen coating of the samples, is able to ameliorate some of the biological parameters taken into account. The obtained results point out that biocompatibility may be successfully tested in vitro, using cultures of normal human cells, as blood and endothelial cells, but more than one cell line should be used, separately or in co-culture, and different parameters should be determined, in particular those correlated with inflammatory phenomena.

Abstract
The development of micro- and nanosystems for their use in biomedicine is a continuously growing field. One of the major goals of such platforms is to combine multiple functions in a single entity. However, achieving the design of an efficient and safe micro- or nanoplatform has shown to be strongly influenced by its interaction with the biological systems, where particle features or cell types play a critical role. In this work, the feasibility of using multi-material pSi-Cr-Au intracellular chips (MMICCs) for multifunctional applications by characterizing their interactions with two different cell lines, one tumorigenic and one non-tumorigenic, in terms of biocompatibility, internalization and intracellular fate, has been explored. Moreover, the impact of MMICCs on the induction of an inflammatory response has been assessed by evaluating TNFα, IL1b, IL6, and IL10 human inflammatory cytokines secretion by macrophages. Results show that MMICCs are biocompatible and their internalization efficiency is strongly dependent on the cell type. Finally as a proof-of-concept, MMICCs have been dually functionalized with transferrin and pHrodo™ Red, SE to target cancer cells and detect intracellular pH, respectively. In conclusion, MMICCs can be used as multi-functional devices due to their high biocompatibility, non-inflammatory properties and the ability of developing multiple functions.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NP) are significant to multiple industrial processes, consumer products and medical applications today. The health effects of many different types of NP, however, are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to test the effects of 50-nm gold NP coated with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on mouse macrophage and spleen cells with and without lipopolysaccharide (LPS), testing the hypothesis that the NP would modulate immune responses without being overtly toxic. Gold NP had no effect on macrophage viability and, in the absence of LPS, they had no effect on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production as measured by ELISA. The presence of LPS significantly increased the release of TNFα from the macrophages above no-treatment controls, but increasing gold NP concentration led to decreasing release of TNFα. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by exposed macrophages were also reduced compared to untreated controls, both with and without LPS, suggesting some kind of oxygen radical scavenging. In splenocyte cultures, gold NP had no effect alone, but significantly reduced the release of interleukin (IL)-17 and TNFα triggered by LPS. These results suggest that the gold NP used here are not cytotoxic to immune cells at these concentrations, but may affect cellular responses to infection or inflammation by altering the balance of cytokines.

Abstract
A previous study showed that BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein-2) and wear debris can
separately support osteoclast formation induced by the receptor activator of NF-κB
ligand (RANKL). However, the effect of BMP-2 on wear debris-induced osteoclast
formation is unclear. In this study, we show that neither titanium particles nor
BMP-2 can induce osteoclast formation in RAW 264.7 mouse leukemic monocyte macrophage
cells but that BMP-2 synergizes with titanium particles to enhance osteoclast
formation in the presence of RANKL, and that at a low concentration, BMP-2 has an
optimal effect to stimulate the size and number of multinuclear osteoclasts,
expression of osteoclast genes, and resorption area. Our data also clarify that the
effects caused by the increase in BMP-2 on phosphorylated SMAD levels such as c-Fos
expression increased throughout the early stages of osteoclastogenesis. BMP-2 and
titanium particles stimulate the expression of p-JNK, p-P38, p-IkB, and P50 compared
with the titanium group. These data suggested that BMP-2 may be a crucial factor in
titanium particle-mediated osteoclast formation.

Abstract
The use of biocompatible materials has attained an increasing importance for tissue regeneration and transplantation. The excellent mechanical and corrosion properties of Ti40Cu38Zr10Pd12 bulk metallic glass (BMG) turn it into a potential candidate for its use in orthopaedic implants. Before being considered as a biomaterial, some biological parameters must be taken into account. In this study,mouse preosteoblasts were cultured in the presence or absence of the alloy at different times (24 h, 7 and 21 days) and no differences in cell viability were detected.Moreover, cells were able to adhere to the alloy surface by establishing focal contacts, and displayed a flattened polygonal morphology. After 14 days in culture, differentiation into osteoblasts was observed. Besides, the amount of Cu ions released and their potential toxic effects were analyzed, showing that the amount of Cu released did not increase cell death. Finally, the low levels of inflammatory cytokines secreted by THP-1 differentiated macrophages exposed to the alloy suggest the absence of an immunogenic response to the alloy. In conclusion, in vitro studies indicate that the Ti40Cu38Zr10Pd12 BMG could be considered as a biomaterial to be used in orthopaedic implants.

Implications of Surface and Bulk Properties of Abutment Implants and Their Degradation in the Health of Periodontal Tissue. MATERIALS 2013; 6:5951-5966. [PMID: 28788432 PMCID: PMC5452748 DOI: 10.3390/ma6125951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2013] [Revised: 12/04/2013] [Accepted: 12/05/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the current review was to investigate the implications of the surface and bulk properties of abutment implants and their degradation in relation to periodontal health. The success of dental implants is no longer a challenge for dentistry. The scientific literature presents several types of implants that are specific for each case. However, in cases of prosthetics components, such as abutments, further research is needed to improve the materials used to avoid bacterial adhesion and enhance contact with epithelial cells. The implanted surfaces of the abutments are composed of chemical elements that may degrade under different temperatures or be damaged by the forces applied onto them. This study showed that the resulting release of such chemical elements could cause inflammation in the periodontal tissue. At the same time, the surface characteristics can be altered, thus favoring biofilm development and further increasing the inflammation. Finally, if not treated, this inflammation can cause the loss of the implant.

Abstract
PURPOSE Wear debris particle-induced osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening is one of the major causes of failure of total joint replacement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of titanium implant material and inflammatory cytokines on human synovial cells and the development to osteolysis and aseptic loosening. METHODS This study investigated the effect of titanium implant material on the ECM-degraded MMP-2 in human synovial cells and analyzed the contribution of synovial cells in osteolysis and aseptic loosening. RESULTS When human synovial cells are exposed to titanium materials, MMP-2 activity is induced by 1.72 ± 0.14-fold with Ti disc and 3.95 ± 0.10-fold with Ti particles, compared with that of the controls, respectively. Inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-1β are also shown to induce MMP-2 activity by 3.65 ± 0.28-fold and 6.76 ± 0.28-fold, respectively. A combination of Ti particles and cytokines induces MMP-2 activities to a higher level (10.54 ± 0.45-fold). Inhibitors of various signal pathways involved in MMP-2 reverse Ti particle-induced MMP-2 activities. CONCLUSIONS Synovial cells surrounding the bone-prosthesis interface may contribute to production of MMP-2, and NFκB inhibitors may be explored as potential therapeutics to alleviate wear debris-induced osteolysis and aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Due to corrosion, a titanium implant surface can be a potential source for the release of micro (MPs) and nano-sized particles (NPs) into the biological environment. This work sought to evaluate the biokinetics of different sized titanium dioxide particles (TiO2 ) and their potential to cause cell damage. Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with 150 nm, 10 nm, or 5nm TiO2 particles. The presence of TiO2 particles was evaluated in histologic sections of the liver, lung, and kidney and in blood cells at 3 and 12 months. Ultrastructural analysis of liver and lung tissue was performed by TEM, deposit concentration in tissues was determined spectroscopically, and oxidative metabolism was assessed by determining oxidative membrane damage, generation of superoxide anion (O2(-)), and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. TiO2 particles were observed inside mononuclear blood cells and in organ parenchyma at 3 and 12 months. TiO2 deposits were consistently larger in liver than in lung tissue. Alveolar macrophage O2(-) generation and average particle size correlated negatively (p < 0.05). NPs were more reactive and biopersistent in lung tissue than MPs. Antioxidant activity, particularly in the case of 5 nm particles, failed to compensate for membrane damage in liver cells; the damage was consistent with histological evidence of necrosis.

Abstract
The failure of implanted medical devices can be associated with changes in the production of cytokines by cells of the immune system. Cytokines released by peripheral blood mononuclear cells upon contact with metal particles were quantified to understand their role in implantation intergration and their importance as messengers in the recruitment of T-lymphocytes at the implantation site. Opsonization was utilised to understand the influence of serum proteins on particle-induced cytokine production and release. Different metal compositions were used in the particulate format, Titanium (Ti), Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), and Stainless Steel 316L (SS), and were cultured in vitro with a mixed population of monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes. The cells were also exposed to an exogenous stimulant mixture of phytohemagglutinin-P and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and opsonized particles with human serum. Interleukins, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were investigated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as they are an indicator of the inflammation evoked by particulate metals. It has been experimentally evidenced that metal particles induced higher amounts of IL-6 and IL-1 but very low amounts of TNF-α. T-lymphocyte activation was evaluated by the quantification of IL-2 and IFN-γ levels. The results showed that nonopsonized and opsonized metal particles did not induce the release of increased levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ.

Abstract
One of the most important complications of total joint arthroplasty is failure associated with periprosthetic osteolysis, a process mainly initiated by the biological response to wear-derived products from the biomaterials in service. The inflammatory mediator interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a key role in the establishment and progression of aseptic loosening. Metal particles specifically up-regulate IL-6 production in bone-forming cells and implant-bone interfacial tissues. The use of statins has been recently associated with a significantly reduced risk of revision in patients that undergo total hip arthroplasty. We hypothesized that simvastatin (Simv) could modulate the osteoblastic response to titanium particles (Ti) by attenuating the production of IL-6. Pre-treatment of human osteoblastic cells with Simv down-regulated Ti particle-induced IL-6 gene expression at mRNA and protein levels. The effect of Simv on Ti-induced IL-6 production in osteoblastic cells could not be explained by inhibition of the internalization of metal particles. The mechanism involved in this down-regulation is based in the inhibition of the HMG-CoA/GGPP/RhoA/ROCK pathway, independently of Simv effects in the cholesterol synthesis. The cytokine-lowering property of Simv has been observed in Saos-2 cells and human primary osteoblasts (hOBs) exposed to Ti particles, and was further enhanced when hOBs were co-cultured with macrophages.

Abstract
Cbfa1/Runx2 is a bone transcription factor homologous to the Drosophila protein, Runt. Runx2 is a master gene that encodes for a protein involved in the osteogenic differentiation process from mesenchymal precursors. It is known that in Cbfa1 deficient mice (Cbfa1(-/-)) the lack of mature osteoblasts is associated to incomplete bone mineralization. An important aim of modern biology is the development of new molecular tools for identification of therapeutic approaches. Recent discoveries in cell and molecular biology enabled researchers in the bone tissue-engineering field to develop new strategies for gene and cell-based therapies. This review summarizes the process of osteogenic differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells and the importance of bone regeneration is discussed. In particular, given the increasing interest in the study of the transcription factor Runx2, this review highlights the role of this target gene and addresses recent strategies using Runx2 for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) shows promise for tissue engineering and other biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, unique biomechanical properties, and controllable biodegradability. The particulate form of SF materials may have many potential uses, including the use as a filler for tissue defects or as a controlled-release agent for drug delivery. However, many past in vivo and in vitro studies evaluating the biocompatibility and biodegradability of SF have involved bulk implants. It is essential to evaluate the inflammatory effects of SF particles before further use. In this study, two different sizes of SF particles were evaluated to assess their impact on the release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, in comparison with lipopolysaccharide positive control stimulation. The inflammatory processes were characterized using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and light microscopy evaluations. The results indicated that small silk fibroin particles and large silk fibroin particles, in culture with RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells for 24 h, caused up-regulation of mRNA coding for TNF-α, which indicated that both size of particles have potential inflammatory effects. There was a statistically significant increase in this up-regulation under small silk fibroin stimulation. However, the immunosorbent assay suggested that there was virtually no observed release of IL-1β, IL-6, or TNF-α, relative to the control group. The results suggest that SF particles of the chosen dimensions may have good biocompatibility in culture with RAW 264.7 murine macrophages.

Abstract
Cell-surface interactions play a crucial role for biomaterial application in orthopaedics. It is evident that not only the chemical composition of solid substances influence cellular adherence, migration, proliferation and differentiation but also the surface topography of a biomaterial. The progressive application of nanostructured surfaces in medicine has gained increasing interest to improve the cytocompatibility and osteointegration of orthopaedic implants. Therefore, the understanding of cell-surface interactions is of major interest for these substances. In this review, we elucidate the principle mechanisms of nano- and microscale cell-surface interactions in vitro for different cell types onto typical orthopaedic biomaterials such as titanium (Ti), cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys, stainless steel (SS), as well as synthetic polymers (UHMWPE, XLPE, PEEK, PLLA). In addition, effects of nano- and microscaled particles and their significance in orthopaedics were reviewed. The significance for the cytocompatibility of nanobiomaterials is discussed critically.

Abstract
Wear particles are the major cause of osteolysis associated with failure of implant following total joint replacement. During this pathologic process, activated macrophages mediate inflammatory responses to increase osteoclastogenesis, leading to enhanced bone resorption. In osteolysis caused by wear particles, osteoprogenitors present along with macrophages at the implant interface may play significant roles in bone regeneration and implant osteointegration. Although the direct effects of wear particles on osteoblasts have been addressed recently, the role of activated macrophages in regulation of osteogenic activity of osteoblasts has scarcely been studied. In the present study, we examined the molecular communication between macrophages and osteoprogenitor cells that may explain the effect of wear particles on impaired bone forming activity in inflammatory bone diseases. It has been demonstrated that conditioned medium of macrophages challenged with titanium particles (Ti CM) suppresses early and late differentiation markers of osteoprogenitors, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen synthesis, matrix mineralization and expression of osteocalcin and Runx2. Moreover, bone forming signals such as WNT and BMP signaling pathways were inhibited by Ti CM. Interestingly, TNFα was identified as a predominant factor in Ti CM to suppress osteogenic activity as well as WNT and BMP signaling activity. Furthermore, Ti CM or TNFα induces the expression of sclerostin (SOST) which is able to inhibit WNT and BMP signaling pathways. It was determined that over-expression of SOST suppressed ALP activity, whereas the inhibition of SOST by siRNA partially restored the effect of Ti CM on ALP activity. This study highlights the role of activated macrophages in regulation of impaired osteogenic activity seen in inflammatory conditions and provides a potential mechanism for autocrine regulation of WNT and BMP signaling mediated by TNFα via induction of SOST in osteprogenitor cells.

Abstract
Wear particle-mediated osteolysis is one of the major problems affecting long-term survival of orthopaedic prostheses, frequently progressing to failure of fixation and revision surgery. Upon challenging with wear particles, macrophages and various other types of cells release soluble factors that stimulate the resorptive activity of osteoclasts and impair the function and activity of osteoblasts. Extracellular Hsp72 has been reported to activate macrophages and up-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production, although its role in osteolysis has not been established yet. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the involvement of this protein in the inflammatory response to wear particles that leads to periprosthetic osteolysis. To this end, we used interfacial tissues and blood samples from patients undergoing revision surgery due to aseptic loosening of cementless acetabular cups. Confocal microscopy indicated that Hsp72 co-localises with CD14(+) cells of interfacial tissues. Levels of Hsp72 in the culture media from periprosthetic membranes cultured ex vivo decreased along culture time and Hsp72 levels in sera from patients were lower and under the assay detection limit compared with those from age-matched control subjects. This suggests that interfacial tissues are not actively producing the protein but likely recruit it from peripheral circulation. Incubation of human macrophages with titanium (Ti) particles decreased the release of Hsp72 into culture media. Treatment with recombinant human Hsp72 enhanced considerably IL-6 levels in culture media which were not modified after macrophage co-stimulation with Ti particles, while pre-incubation with Hsp72 increased the Ti particle-induced TNF-α and IL-1β production. Altogether, these data indicate that extracellular Hsp72 amplifies the inflammatory response to wear debris by interacting with resident macrophages in periprosthetic tissues.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma-derived cells have been routinely used for studying osteoblastic functions, but it remains unclear to what extent they mimic the behavior of primary osteoblasts in the study of cells and materials interactions. This study reports comparatively on the responses of three human osteosarcoma cell lines, MG-63, Saos-2 and U-2 OS, and human primary osteoblasts cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Phenotypic characterization of the cell lines revealed that Saos-2 cells and primary osteoblasts displayed similar expression patterns of Cbfa1, SP7 and osteocalcin. Unlike primary cells, the cell lines expressed markers of undifferentiated cells, had high proliferative rates and poor fibronectin matrix assembly. None of the three cell lines faithfully reproduced the adhesive behavior of primary osteoblasts when cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Differences in cell growth between the cell lines and primary osteoblasts cultured on Ti6Al4V surfaces were also observed. Ti particles inhibited the growth of Saos-2 cells and primary osteoblasts to a similar extent, while no such effect was observed in U-2 OS and MG-63 cells. Saos-2 cells reproduced the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity profile of primary osteoblasts cultured on metallic surfaces or exposed to particles. Altogether, these results show that none of the osteoblast-like cells studied perfectly mimic the behavior of human osteoblast cells (hOB) on Ti6Al4V surfaces or exposed to Ti particles. Saos-2 cells reproduce some of the hOB responses such as the profile of enzymatic ALP activity when cultured on the surfaces or treated with particles as well as cell growth inhibition when exposed to Ti particles. Although in vitro cytocompatibility studies involve the evaluation of multiple parameters, Saos-2 cells may be used as representative of human osteoblasts when these standard tests are evaluated.

Abstract
There is an increased use of nanophase titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) in bone implants and scaffolds. However, nano-debris is generated at the bone-biomaterial interface. Therefore, TiO(2) nanoparticles (NPs) of many sizes were investigated for cytotoxic effects on murine MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts. These TiO(2) NPs induced a time- and dose-dependent decrease in cell viability. There was a significant increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane permeability following short-term exposure of the cells to TiO(2) NPs. These NPs also increased granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) gene expression. Compared with the 32 nm TiO(2) NPs, 5 nm TiO(2) NPs were more toxic, induced more apoptosis, increased mitochondrial membrane permeability and stimulated more GM-CSF expression at a high concentration (≥100 μg/ml). The results implied that the differential toxicity was associated with variations in size, so more attention should be given to the toxicity of small NPs for the design of future materials for implantation.

Abstract
A recent study showed that carbon nanohorns (CNHs) have biocompatibility and possible medical uses such as in drug delivery systems. It was reported that some kinds of carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes were useful for bone formation. However, the effect of CNHs on bone tissue has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CNHs on bone regeneration and their possible application for guided bone regeneration (GBR). CNHs dispersed in ethanol were fixed on a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane by vacuum filtration. Cranial defects were created in rats and covered by a membrane with/without CNHs. At two weeks, bone formation under the membrane with CNHs had progressed more than under that without CNHs and numerous macrophages were observed attached to CNHs. At eight weeks, there was no significant difference in the amount of newly formed bone between the groups and the appearance of macrophages was decreased compared with that at two weeks. Newly formed bone attached to some CNHs directly. These results suggest that macrophages induced by CNHs are related to bone regeneration. In conclusion, the present study indicates that CNHs are compatible with bone tissue and effective as a material for GBR.

Abstract
During the past few years, the application of orthodontic miniscrews and dental implants has been expanded. However, failures have necessitated ongoing investigation of potential risk factors. The aim of this overview was to conduct an assessment of the immunological response following application of cortical temporary anchorage devices--titanium miniscrew implants--in orthodontic patients. A scrupulous search of the database revealed only two matching items; therefore studies evaluating the immune response subsequent to insertion of dental implants were reviewed. Thorough assessment revealed the following as factors associated with dental implant rejection: (1) correlation of the volume of gingival and peri-implant crevicular fluid and the amount of interleukin (IL)-1beta with mucosal inflammation, thus serving as a peri-implantitis evaluation index; (2) significantly more frequent marginal bone loss around implants in patients with IL-1B-511 2/2 genotype; (3) humoral response to Staphylococcus aureus. However, since there is almost no evidence-based evaluation of the allergic/inflammatory reaction either to orthodontic titanium miniscrews themselves or in adolescents and young adults, who comprise the largest group of orthodontic patients, this issue requires further investigation. It is essential in order to achieve successful, sophisticated and modern treatment of malocclusions.

Abstract
The present work is aimed to evaluate the effects of a surface modification process on the biocompatibility of three vanadium-free titanium alloys with biomedical applications interest. Chemical composition of alloys investigated, in weight %, were Ti-7Nb-6Al, Ti-13Nb-13Zr, and Ti-15Zr-4Nb. An easy and economic method intended to improve the biocompatibiblity of these materials consists in a simple thermal treatment at high temperature, 750 degrees C, in air for different times. The significance of modification of the surface properties to the biological response was studied putting in contact both untreated and thermally treated alloys with human cells in culture, Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) and Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC). The TNF-alpha release data indicate that thermal treatment improves the biological response of the alloys. The notable enhancement of the surface roughness upon oxidation could be related with the observed reduction of the TNF-alpha levels for treated alloys. A different behavior of the two cell lines may be observed, when adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in HUVEC, ICAM-1, and LFA-1 in PBMC) were determined, PBMC being more sensitive than HUVEC to the contact with the samples. The data also distinguish surface composition and corrosion resistance as significant parameters for the biological response.

Abstract
This study was performed to microscopically observe and measure inflammatory cytokine production by human macrophages phagocytosing submicron titanium (Ti) particles. Observations with secondary electron microscopy (SEM), SEM/electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that macrophages [phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 cells] at 24 h in culture actively phagocytosed and accumulated submicron Ti particles in intracellular phagosomes, in which refinement of Ti particles occurred. The macrophages were also cultured for 24 h in four media with and without submicron Ti particles and lipopolysaccharide (LPS; components of bacteria). Whilst neither stimulus reduced cell viability, submicron Ti particles and LPS activation independently and synergistically caused the macrophages to produce three inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6) at high levels in the culture supernatants. The inflammatory and osteolysis conditions caused by macrophages phagocytosing submicron Ti particles would be worsened by challenge with LPS in patients wearing Ti prostheses.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an emerging multidisciplinary field of investigation focused on the regeneration of diseased or injured tissues through the delivery of appropriate molecular and mechanical signals. Therefore, bone tissue engineering covers all the attempts to reestablish a normal physiology or to speed up healing of bone in all musculoskeletal disorders and injuries that are lashing modern societies. This article attempts to give a pharmaceutical perspective on the production of engineered man-made bone grafts that are described as implantable tissue engineering therapeutics, and to highlight the importance of understanding bone composition and structure, as well as osteogenesis and bone healing processes, to improve the design and development of such implants. In addition, special emphasis is given to pharmaceutical aspects that are frequently minimized, but that, instead, may be useful for formulation developments and in vitro/in vivo correlations.

Abstract
Biphasic calcium phosphates (BCPs) consist of a mixture of hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate and are recommended as alternatives or additives to autogenous bone for orthopaedic and dental applications. There is clinical evidence showing particle release from bioceramics, which might impair the ability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) from bone marrow to proliferate or mature into a functional osteoblast phenotype. This study analyses the influence of BCP particles and their precursors, calcium-deficient apatite (CDA) particles, on in vitro hMSC behaviour. Both types of particles were efficiently internalized by hMSC. Cell viability, morphology and actin cytoskeleton reorganization were unaffected by exposure of hMSC to BCP or CDA particles. Direct exposure to BCP particles impaired hMSC osteogenic differentiation and bone matrix mineralization to a lesser extent than CDA, as assayed by evaluation of alkaline phosphatase activity, osteopontin secretion and mineralized nodule formation. The ability of bioceramic particles to affect osteogenic maturation through modification of soluble factors in media was assayed in an in vitro system that avoids direct cell-particle contact. Indirect exposure to CDA particles severely impaired hMSC osteogenic maturation owing to the uptake of Ca2+ from the culture media. Lower textural properties of BCP and the lack of calcium deficiency in its composition prevented Ca2+ uptake, allowing the development of a functional osteoblast phenotype.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can be administered via nasal, oral, intraocular, intratracheal (pulmonary toxicity), tail vein and other routes. Here, we focus on the time-dependent translocation and potential damage of TiO(2) nanoparticles on central nervous system (CNS) through intranasal instillation. Size and structural properties are important to assess biological effects of TiO(2) nanoparticles. In present study, female mice were intranasally instilled with two types of well-characterized TiO(2) nanoparticles (i.e. 80 nm, rutile and 155 nm, anatase; purity>99%) every other day. Pure water instilled mice were served as controls. The brain tissues were collected and evaluated for accumulation and distribution of TiO(2), histopathology, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers at post-instillation time points of 2, 10, 20 and 30 days. The titanium contents in the sub-brain regions including olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results indicated that the instilled TiO(2) directly entered the brain through olfactory bulb in the whole exposure period, especially deposited in the hippocampus region. After exposure for 30 days, the pathological changes were observed in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb using Nissl staining and transmission electron microscope. The oxidative damage expressed as lipid peroxidation increased significantly, in particular in the exposed group of anatase TiO(2) particles at 30 days postexposure. Exposure to anatase TiO(2) particles also produced higher inflammation responses, in association with the significantly increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL-1 beta) levels. We conclude that subtle differences in responses to anatase TiO(2) particles versus the rutile ones could be related to crystal structure. Thus, based on these results, rutile ultrafine-TiO(2) particles are expected to have a little lower risk potential for producing adverse effects on central nervous system. Although understanding the mechanisms requires further investigation, the present results suggest that we should pay attention to potential risk of occupational exposure for large-scaled production of TiO(2) nanoparticles.

Abstract
The layer of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) of the implant is chronically exposed to the internal electrolyte milieu in the peri-implant biological compartment. Corrosion results from electrochemical attack and ensuing gradual degradation of the metallic materials and is thus of biological interest when these biomaterials are employed in clinical implantology. Herein we evaluated and compared the chronic effect and the biodistribution of TiO(2) administered subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. We propose that the compartmentalization of titanium in the area of subcutaneous injection would reproduce the biological compartment of the implant and its microenvironment from which metal ions could be released and migrate systemically. Potential TiO(2) deposits were identified and characterized in skin, liver and lung by histological and EDX analyses. After both treatments, the skin, liver, and lungs exhibited histological evidence of TiO(2) deposits. In order to characterize in situ macrophage-like cells, tissue sections were immunohistochemically stained for CD68. Tissue specimens from all organs assayed showed positive staining for anti-macrophage monoclonal antibody CD68 (PGM1). Despite the compartmentalization of titanium within nodular areas in rats treated subcutaneously, systemic migration occurred. We concluded that systemic migration of TiO(2) occurred regardless of the administration route.

Abstract
The titanium dioxide layer is composed mainly of anatase and rutile. This layer is prone to break, releasing particles to the milieu. Therefore, corrosion may cause implant failure and body contamination. We have previously shown that commercial anatase-titanium dioxide (TiO(2)-anatase) is deposited in organs with macrophagic activity, transported in the blood by phagocytic-mononuclear cells, and induces an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we evaluated the effects of rutile-titanium dioxide (TiO(2)-rutile). Male Wistar rats were injected i.p. with a suspension of TiO(2)-rutile powder at a dose of 1.60 g/100 g b.w. Six months postinjection, the presence of Ti was assessed in serum, blood cells, liver, spleen, and lung. Titanium was found in phagocytic mononuclear cells, serum, and in the parenchyma of all the organs tested. TiO(2)-rutile generated a rise in the percentage of reactive cells, which was smaller than that observed when TiO(2)-anatase was employed in a previous study. Although TiO(2)-rutile provoked an augmentation of ROS, it failed to induce damage to membrane lipids, possibly due to an adaptive response. The present study reveals that TiO(2)-rutile is less bioreactive than TiO(2)-anatase.
