Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is abundantly expressed in intracellular engaged DNA binding ability. However, more importantly, it is a weapon against infection through proinflammatory response and immune regulation while released to extracellular. Toxoplasma gondii causes inflammatory pathological changes including ileitis and encephalitis in chronic infection. To investigate whether HMGB1 contributes to the toxoplasmosis lesions, we examined HMGB1 changes during T. gondii infection. The results showed that HMGB1 transcription was down-regulated in the murine macrophage ANA1 cell line and mouse peritoneal macrophages (PMΦs) after T. gondii inoculation, but up-regulated in the IFN-γ treated macrophages and the intraperitoneal exudate cells from the T. gondii infected mice. The content of intracellular HMGB1 are basically consistent with the transcription levels in ANA1 assay, while there were no obvious changes in the mouse PMΦs. Both ANA1 and mouse PMΦs released HMGB1 after parasites infection, and no obvious HMGB1 aggregation in cytoplasm compare to the IFN-γ treatment group. Furthermore, we demonstrated that T. gondii invasion led to HMGB1 release, which was dependent on the Caspase 1 activity. These finding should promote to further investigate the functions of extracellular HMGB1 in the toxoplasmosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periprosthetic osteolysis, involving RANK/RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG) and TNF-α/NFκB signaling, contributes to bone resorption and inflammation. We constructed lentivirus vectors to inhibit TNF-α and enhance OPG expression and assessed their impacts on wear debris-induced inflammation and osteoclastogenesis in an osteoclast/osteoblast coculture system. METHODS We transduced mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells with Lenti-negative control (Lenti-NC), Lenti-OPG or Lenti-siTNFα-OPG, and murine macrophage/monocyte RAW264.7 cells with Lenti-NC, Lenti-TNF-α siRNA or Lenti-siTNFα-OPG. Then, TNF-α and OPG protein levels were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We cocultured transduced MC3T3-E1 and RAW264.7 cells in transwell chambers in the presence of 0.1 mg/mL Ti particles to investigate the capacity of TNF-α inhibition to reduce wear debris-induced inflammation. We also assessed mRNA levels TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and OPG by RT-PCR as well as osteoclastogenesis by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. RESULTS Lenti-siTNFα-OPG ameliorated Ti-particle-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 in MC3T3-E1/RAW264.7 cocultures, while enhancing mRNA and protein levels of OPG, and reducing the fraction of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)+ cells. CONCLUSIONS Lenti-siTNFα-OPG can inhibit the wear debris-induced inflammatory responses and osteoclastogenesis in vitro, and may represent a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment or prevention of wear particle-induced osteolysis.

How has the introduction of new bearing surfaces altered the biological reactions to byproducts of wear and modularity? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2014; 472:3699-708.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biological responses to wear debris were largely elucidated in studies focused on conventional ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and some investigations of polymethymethacrylate cement and orthopaedic metals. However, newer bearing couples, in particular metal-on-metal but also ceramic-on-ceramic bearings, may induce different biological reactions. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Does wear debris from the newer bearing surfaces result in different biological responses compared with the known responses observed with conventional metal-on-UHMWPE bearings? METHODS A Medline search of articles published after 1996 supplemented by a hand search of reference lists of included studies and relevant conference proceedings was conducted to identify the biological responses to orthopaedic wear debris with a focus on biological responses to wear generated from metal-on-highly crosslinked polyethylene, metal-on-metal, ceramic-on-ceramic, and ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings. Articles were selected using criteria designed to identify reports of wear debris particles and biological responses contributing to prosthesis failure. Case reports and articles focused on either clinical outcomes or tribology were excluded. A total of 83 papers met the criteria and were reviewed in detail. RESULTS Biological response to conventional UHMWPE is regulated by the innate immune response. It is clear that the physical properties of debris (size, shape, surface topography) influence biological responses in addition to the chemical composition of the biomaterials. Highly crosslinked UHMWPE particles have the potential to alter, rather than eliminate, the biological response to conventional UHMWPE. Metal wear debris can generate elevated plasma levels of cobalt and chromium ions. These entities can provoke responses that extend to the elicitation of an acquired immune response. Wear generated from ceramic devices is significantly reduced in volume and may provide the impression of an "inert" response, but clinically relevant biological reactions do occur, including granulomatous responses in periprosthetic tissues. CONCLUSIONS The material composition of the device, the physical form of the debris, and disease pathophysiology contribute to complex interactions that determine the outcome to all wear debris. Metal debris does appear to increase the complexity of the biological response with the addition of immunological responses (and possibly direct cellular cytotoxicity) to the inflammatory reaction provoked by wear debris in some patients. However, the introduction of highly crosslinked polyethylene and ceramic bearing surfaces shows promising signs of reducing key biological mechanisms in osteolysis.

Abstract
Biomaterial-induced tissue responses in patients with total joint replacement are associated with the generation of wear particles, which may lead to chronic inflammation and local bone destruction (periprosthetic osteolysis). Inflammatory reactions associated with wear particles are mediated by several important signaling pathways, the most important of which involves the transcription factor NF-κB. NF-κB activation is essential for macrophage recruitment and maturation, as well as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and MCP1. In addition, NF-κB activation contributes to osteoclast differentiation and maturation via RANK/RANKL signaling, which increases bone destruction and reduces bone formation. Targeting individual downstream cytokines directly (such as TNF-α or IL-1β) may not effectively prevent wear particle induced osteolysis. A more logical upstream therapeutic approach may be provided by direct modulation of the core IκB/IKKα/β/NF-κB signaling pathway in the local environment. However, the timing, dose and strategy for administration should be considered. Suppression of chronic inflammation via inhibition of NF-κB activity in patients with malfunctioning joint replacements may be an effective strategy to mitigate wear particle induced periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative facultative capnophile involved in pathogenesis of aggressive forms of periodontal disease. In the present study, we interrogated the ability of A. actinomycetemcomitans to stimulate innate immune signaling and cytokine production and established that A. actinomycetemcomitans causes bone loss in a novel rat calvarial model. In vitro studies indicated that A. actinomycetemcomitans stimulated considerable production of soluble cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in both primary bone marrow-derived macrophages and NR8383 macrophages. Immunoblot analysis indicated that A. actinomycetemcomitans exhibits sustained activation of all major mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, as well as the negative regulator of MAPK signaling, MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), for at least 8 h. In a rat calvarial model of inflammatory bone loss, high and low doses of formalin-fixed A. actinomycetemcomitans were microinjected into the supraperiosteal calvarial space for 1-2 weeks. Histological staining and micro-computed tomography of rat calvariae revealed a significant increase of inflammatory and fibroblast infiltrate and increased bone resorption as measured by total lacunar pit formation. From these data, we provide new evidence that fixed whole cell A. actinomycetemcomitans stimulation elicits a pro-inflammatory host response through sustained MAPK signaling, leading to enhanced bone resorption within the rat calvarial bone.

Abstract
With large-scale production and wide application of nano-titanium oxide (TiO2), its health hazard has attracted extensive attention worldwide. In this study, mouse macrophages (Ana-1 and MH-S cells) were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of different sized TiO2 nanoparticles. The results showed that TiO2 nanoparticles caused low toxicity, especially in MH-S cells. There was a difference in the cytotoxicity induced by different sized TiO2 particles. The 25 nm anatase particles induced the strongest cytotoxicity and oxidative stress, followed by 5 and 100 nm anatase particles; in contrast, 100 nm rutile particles induced the lowest toxicity. Although TiO2 nanoparticles induced high levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), the determination of ROS demonstrated that the inherent oxidative capacity of TiO2 nanoparticles was lower in the absence of photoactivation. Therefore, the generation of intracellular ROS could not completely depend on inherent oxidative capacity of TiO2 nanoparticles. Toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles could mainly depend on the structural characteristics.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and inflammatory cytokines released from activated macrophages in response to particulate debris greatly impact periprosthetic bone loss and consequent implant failure. In the present study, we found that a major polyphenolic component of green tea, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), inhibited Ti particle-induced TNF-α release in macrophages in vitro and calvarial osteolysis in vivo. The Ti stimulation of macrophages released TNF-α in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and EGCG substantially suppressed Ti particle-induced TNF-α release. Analysis of signaling pathway showed that EGCG inhibited the Ti-induced c-Jun N-terminus kinase (JNK) activation and inhibitory κB (IκB) degradation, and consequently the Ti-induced transcriptional activation of AP-1 and NF-κB. In a mouse calvarial osteolysis model, EGCG inhibited Ti particle-induced osteolysis in vivo by suppressing TNF-a expression and osteoclast formation. Therefore, EGCG may be a potential candidate compound for osteolysis prevention and treatment as well as aseptic loosening after total replacement arthroplasty.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to define the anti-osteoclastogenic and/or anti-inflammatory role of IL-6 in inflammatory bone resorption using in vivo and in vitro methods. To this end, titanium particles were placed on murine calvaria, and bone resorption and osteoclast formation quantified in wild-type and IL-6(-/-) mice. In this model, calvarial bone loss and osteoclast formation were increased in titanium-treated IL-6(-/-) mice. Although basal numbers of splenic osteoclast precursors (OCP) were similar, IL-6(-/-) mice treated with particles in vivo had increased splenic OCP suggesting an enhanced systemic inflammatory response. In vitro osteoclastogenesis was measured using splenic (OCP) at various stages of maturation, including splenocytes from WT, IL-6(-/-) and TNFalpha transgenic mice. ELISA was used to measure TNFalpha production. IL-6 inhibited osteoclastogenesis in early OCP obtained from wild-type and IL-6(-/-) spleens. Pre-treatment of OCP with M-CSF for three days increased the CD11b(high)/c-Fms+ cell population, resulting in an intermediate staged OCP. Osteoclastogenesis was unaffected by IL-6 in M-CSF pre-treated and TNFalpha transgenic derived OCP. IL-6(-/-) splenocytes secreted greater concentrations of TNFalpha in response to titanium particles than WT; addition of exogenous IL-6 to these cultures decreased TNFalpha expression while anti-IL-6 antibody increased TNFalpha. While IL-6 lacks effects on intermediate staged precursors, the dominant in vivo effects of IL-6 appear to be related to strong suppression of early OCP differentiation and an anti-inflammatory effect targeting TNFalpha. Thus, the absence of IL-6 results in increased inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
Bone loss that causes aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants is initiated by pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages in response to implant-derived wear particles. MAPK and NF-kappaB signaling pathways are activated by the particles; however, it is not clear which of the signaling pathways are important for the initial response to the wear particles and which are only involved at later steps in the process, such as osteoclast differentiation. Here, we show that the ERK1/2, p38, JNK, and NF-kappaB pathways are rapidly activated by the wear particles but that only the ERK1/2 and NF-kappaB pathways are required for the initial response to the wear particles, which include increases in TNFalpha promoter activity, TNFalpha mRNA expression, and secretion of TNFalpha protein. Moreover, ERK1/2 activation by wear particles is also required for increased expression of the transcription factor Egr-1 as well as Egr-1's ability to bind to and activate the TNFalpha promoter. These results, together with our previous studies of the PI3K/Akt pathway, demonstrate that wear particles coordinately activate multiple signaling pathways and multiple transcription factors to stimulate production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFalpha. The current study also demonstrates that the signaling pathways are activated to a much greater extent by wear particles with adherent endotoxin than by "endotoxin-free" wear particles. These results, together with those demonstrating the requirement for ERK1/2/Egr-1 and NF-kappaB, show that activation of these signaling pathways is responsible for the ability of adherent endotoxin to potentiate cytokine production, osteoclast differentiation, and bone loss induced by wear particles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wear debris contributes to implant loosening after total joint arthroplasty, and few advances have been made in our ability to inhibit the biological response to wear particles. Bacterial endotoxins augment the effects of wear particles in vitro and in vivo. The cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), is produced by macrophages in response to bacterial endotoxins and wear particles, and it increases osteoclast activity resulting in bone resorption and implant loosening. The phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt intracellular signal transduction pathway contributes to cytokine production in response to soluble endotoxin. We investigated the role of the PI3K-Akt pathway in the production of TNF-alpha in response to wear particles with adherent endotoxin and so-called endotoxin-free wear particles. METHODS Cultured RAW264.7 murine macrophages were incubated with titanium particles with adherent endotoxin or with endotoxin-free titanium particles in the presence and absence of specific inhibitors of PI3K (LY294002) or Akt (SH-5). Akt activation was assessed with use of Western blot. TNF-alpha production was measured with use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cytotoxicity was determined by measuring lactic dehydrogenase release. RESULTS Titanium particles with adherent endotoxin increased Akt activation, whereas endotoxin-free titanium particles did not. The PI3K inhibitor reduced TNF-alpha production by 70% in response to titanium with adherent endotoxin without increasing cytotoxicity. Similarly, the Akt inhibitor reduced TNF-alpha production by 83% in response to titanium particles with adherent endotoxin without increasing cytotoxicity. High concentrations of endotoxin-free titanium particles resulted in a small delayed increase in TNF-alpha production that was completely blocked by the PI3K inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of the PI3K-Akt pathway reduces macrophage TNF-alpha production in response to titanium particles with adherent endotoxin and endotoxin-free particles in vitro.

Abstract
Today, aseptic loosening is the most common cause of revision of major arthroplasties. Aseptic loosening accounts for more than two-thirds of hip revisions and almost one-half of knee revisions in Sweden. Several theories on the cause of aseptic loosening have been proposed. Most of these theories, however, are based on empiric observations, experimental animal models or anecdotal cases. In this review, we discuss the most common theories concerning aseptic loosening. It emerges from this review that aseptic loosening has a multifactorial etiology and cannot be explained by a single theory.

Abstract
Particulate wear debris induces the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes in various cell types of the periprosthetic region. We have previously reported that titanium particles stimulate the selective induction of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) chemokines in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. In this study, we characterize the human bone marrow-derived osteoblast chemokine response to titanium particles. We demonstrate that titanium particles result in enhanced IL-8 and MCP-1 protein secretion as well as differential chemokine gene activation. Osteoblast chemokine expression was regulated at the level of gene transcription, with a time-dependent induction of NF-kappaB activation. Inhibition studies with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (Nac) and MG-132 suggest that titanium particle activation of NF-kappaB activity and IL-8 chemokine expression involves oxidant signaling and IkappaBalpha-proteasomal degradation. Activation of the NF-kappaB transcription factor, as well as the IL-8 gene, are redox-regulated. We also demonstrate that while cytochalasin D, a potent inhibitor of phagocytosis, suppressed the titanium particle effect on IL-8 protein release in human bone marrow-derived osteoblasts, the inhibitor had no effect on IL-8 expression in MG-63 osteoblast-like cells. Collectively, these results provide insight into the potential mechanisms responsible for the particulate activation of osteoblast chemokine expression and suggest an important role for the osteoblast in the pathogenesis of periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
The manner in which wear debris initiates intracellular signaling and macrophage activation remains poorly understood. While particle phagocytosis has been implicated in this process, recent studies have shown that phagocytosis is not required for macrophage activation. We examined the hypothesis that titanium particles stimulate macrophages through membrane associated signaling events involving free radicals, sphingomyelinase, NFkappaB, and TNFalpha. Titanium particles stimulated peroxidation of linoleic acid, producing malondialdehyde, while neither lipopolysaccharide nor PBS pre-incubated with particles did, suggesting that the increased peroxidation is related to the presence of the particles themselves. Furthermore, particles stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism in a neutral sphingomyelinase (NSmase) containing cell free system; this effect was inhibited by glutathione, indicating that NSmase activation was due to titanium induced free radicals. Titanium particles also stimulated NSmase activity in cultures of ANA-1 murine macrophages. Addition of purified NSmase to ANA-1 cell cultures stimulated NFkappaB binding, increased transcriptional activity in cells transfected with NFkappaB responsive promoters, and induced TNFalpha expression. These effects were also inhibited by addition of glutathione. Similarly, glutathione inhibited the ability of titanium particles to induce NFkappaB signaling and TNFalpha expression in ANA-1 cells. The findings demonstrate that titanium particles generate free radicals and induce plasma membrane peroxidation and NSmase activation. NSmase, in turn, hydrolyzes sphingomyelin, with activation of the NFkappaB signaling pathway and induction of responsive genes, including TNFalpha. This study demonstrates a mechanism for phagocytosis-independent macrophage activation and defines the sphingomyelin cycle as a potential therapeutic target for the prevention of wear debris induced osteolysis.

Abstract
Chemokines, or chemotactic cytokines, are major regulators of the inflammatory response and have been identified as pathogenic factors in the periprosthetic soft tissue. Particulate wear debris induced NF-kappaB activation, the major transcriptional regulator of IL-8 and MCP-1 pro-inflammatory genes and, indeed, both IL-8 and MCP-1 chemokine gene expressions were upregulated in titanium particulate-stimulated human osteoblasts. Here, we demonstrate that phagocytosed particles activate the IL-8 gene promoter via a NF-kappaB-mediated mechanism. Transfection of a dominant negative mutant IkappaBalpha protein that cannot be serine phosphorylated led to suppression of IL-8 promoter activity. The p65/RelA NF-kappaB subunit activity was affected in both a time- and titanium particle concentration-dependent fashion. Titanium particles led to increased ERK, JNK, and p38 activation in MG-63 osteoblast cells, and IL-8 protein release was suppressed by specific inhibitors of the ERK and p38 MAPK pathways. Together, our results suggest that wear debris particles induce chemokine expression in osteoblasts via NF-kappaB-mediated transcriptional activation, which is controlled by the MAPK signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
The early biological response at titanium (Ti), copper (Cu)-coated Ti and sham sites was evaluated in an in vivo rat model. Material surface chemical and topographical properties were characterized using Auger electron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and interferometry, respectively. The number of leukocytes, cell types and cell viability (release of lactate dehydrogenase) were determined in the implant-interface exudate. The contents of activated nuclear transcription factor NF-kappaB, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An increase in the number of leukocytes, in particular, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, was observed between 12 and 48 h around Cu. A marked decrease of exudate cell viability was found around Cu after 48 h. The total amounts of activated NF-kappaB after 12 h was highest in Ti exudates whereas after 48 h the highest amount of NF-kappaB was detected around Cu. The levels of cytokine IL-6 were consistently high around Cu at both time periods. No differences in IL-10 contents were detected, irrespective of material/sham and time. The results show that materials with different toxicity grades (titanium with low and copper with high toxicity) exhibit early differences in the activation of NF-kappaB, extracellular expression and secretion of mediators, causing major differences in inflammatory cell accumulation and death in vivo.

Abstract
Activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) signaling in response to cell stimulation by wear debris may be critical in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening. Erythromycin (EM), a macrolide antibiotic, has been shown to effectively suppress some types of inflammatory reactions. In this study, we examined the effect of EM on wear debris-induced osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro. EM inhibited Ca+ release from neonatal calvaria co-cultured with conditioned medium from mouse RAW264.7 macrophages activated by wear debris. Inhibition of Ca+ release was associated with a decreased number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells in cultured bones. To investigate the mechanism whereby EM inhibits bone-resorption, RAW cells were incubated with wear debris in the presence EM. Real time RT-CR analysis revealed that EM (5 microg/ml) significantly inhibited mRNA expression of NF-kappaB, cathepsin K (CPK), IL-1beta and TNFalpha, but not RANK in RAW cells stimulated with wear debris. Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility-shift assay showed that EM (0.2 microg-5 microg/ml) could reduce DNA-binding activity of NF-kappaB in RAW cells stimulated with wear debris. The inhibition of inflammatory osteoclastogenesis by EM treatment was further confirmed by an osteoclast (OC) formation assay using primary cultures of mouse bone marrow progenitor cells stimulated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor and RANK ligand (RANKL). EM treatment (5 microg/ml) resulted in more than 70% reduction in multinucleated OC formation and 50% reduction of TRAP+ cells by bone marrow progenitor cells. Our findings support that EM suppresses wear debris-induced osteoclastic bone resorption by, at least, down-regulation of NF-kappaB signaling pathway. It appears that EM represents a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment and prevention of aseptic loosening.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the effect of NF-kB signaling blockade on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particle-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro. We first established effective blockade of NF-kB activity as tested by electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Particle-induced NF-kB activation in murine osteoclast precursor cells (CSF-1-dependent bone marrow macrophages) was markedly reduced by co-treatment of the cells with the NF-kB inhibitors N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) and Calpain Inhibitor I (CPI). This inhibition of NF-kB activity was associated with blockade of p50 NF-kB subunit nuclear translocation. We then established a direct NF-kB inhibition approach by utilizing a TAT-bound, mutant IkB (TAT:IkB(46-317)), and demonstrated an inhibitory effect evidenced by decreased NF-kB DNA binding activity. Having established that these strategies (TPCK, CPI, TAT: IkB(46-317)) effectively block NF-kB activation, we next investigated the effect of these agents on particle-stimulated osteoclast formation. PMMA particle stimulation of mature osteoclast formation from RANKL-primed osteoclast precursor cells was blocked by all three inhibitors. To further test the efficacy of NF-kB blockade, experiments were performed with the TAT:IkB(46-317) mutant peptide in whole bone marrow cultures that contain supporting stromal cells. Again, this inhibitor efficiently blocked particle-induced osteoclastogenesis. Thus, we have shown that pharmaceutical and molecular blockade of NF-kB activation inhibits PMMA particle-directed osteoclastogenesis in vitro.
