Abstract
Type I interferons (IFN-I) are pleiotropic factors endowed with multiple activities that play important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Although many studies indicate that IFN-I inducers exert favorable effects on broad-spectrum antivirus, immunomodulation, and anti-tumor activities by inducing endogenous IFN-I and IFN-stimulated genes, their function in bone homeostasis still needs further exploration. Here, our study demonstrates 2 distinct IFN-I inducers, diABZI and poly(I:C), as potential therapeutics to alleviate osteolysis and osteoporosis. First, IFN-I inducers suppress the genes that control osteoclast (OC) differentiation and activity in vitro. Moreover, diABZI alleviates bone loss in Ti particle-induced osteolysis and ovariectomized -induced osteoporosis in vivo by inhibiting OC differentiation and function. In addition, the inhibitory effects of IFN-I inducers on OC differentiation are not observed in macrophages derived from Ifnar1-/-mice, which indicate that the suppressive effect of IFN-I inducers on OC is IFNAR-dependent. Mechanistically, RNAi-mediated silencing of IRF7 and IFIT3 in OC precursors impairs the suppressive effect of the IFN-I inducers on OC differentiation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that IFN-I inducers play a protective role in bone turnover by limiting osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption through the induction of OC-specific mediators via the IFN-I signaling pathway.

Sheela S, Kheder W, Samsudin ABR. Investigating the influence of titanium particle size and concentration on osteogenic response of human osteoblasts - in vitro study. Biomater Investig Dent 2024; 11:40843. [PMID: 38903775 PMCID: PMC11187976 DOI: 10.2340/biid.v11.40843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the size and concentration of titanium particles and the osteogenic response of human osteoblasts (HOB). Materials and Methods Different concentrations of titanium dioxide nano- and micro-particles were prepared and their biocompatibility on HOBs was analyzed using XTT assay. The changes in the actin cytoskeletal organization were studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by HOBs after exposure to titanium dioxide particles was analyzed using ROS assay. Besides, the osteogenic potential represented by alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoprotegerin, macrophage colony stimulating factor levels, and biomineralization were analyzed. Results Short-term interaction of titanium dioxide nano- and micro-particles did not induce toxicity to HOBs. However, cells treated with 100 μg/mL titanium dioxide nano- and micro-particles demonstrated higher ROS generation compared to control. Besides, cells treated with 100 μg/mL titanium dioxide nanoparticles showed higher alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoprotegerin, macrophage colony stimulating factor levels and biomineralization compared to titanium dioxide microparticles. Conclusion Collectively, the study found titanium dioxide nanoparticles to be more biocompatible than microparticles providing an insight into the capability of nanostructures in supporting osteoblast differentiation and its plausibility in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of metallic joint prostheses has been ongoing for more than a century alongside advancements in hip and knee arthroplasty. Among the materials utilized, the Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) and Titanium-Aluminum-Vanadium (Ti-Al-V) alloys are predominant in joint prosthesis construction, predominantly due to their commendable biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. Nonetheless, over time, the physical wear, electrochemical corrosion, and inflammation induced by these alloys that occur post-implantation can cause the release of various metallic components. The released metals can then flow and metabolize in vivo, subsequently causing potential local or systemic harm. This review first details joint prosthesis development and acknowledges the release of prosthetic metals. Second, we outline the metallic concentration, biodistribution, and elimination pathways of the released prosthetic metals. Lastly, we discuss the possible organ, cellular, critical biomolecules, and significant signaling pathway toxicities and adverse effects that arise from exposure to these metals.

[PMID: 38672518 PMCID: PMC11047881 DOI: 10.3390/biom14040502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase 3-beta (GSK3β) is a highly conserved protein kinase originally involved in glucose metabolism, insulin activity, and energy homeostasis. Recent scientific evidence demonstrated the significant role of GSK3β in regulating bone remodelling through involvement in multiple signalling networks. Specifically, the inhibition of GSK3β enhances the conversion of osteoclast progenitors into mature osteoclasts. GSK3β is recognised as a pivotal regulator for the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK)/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), canonical Wnt/beta (β)-catenin, and protein kinase C (PKC) signalling pathways during osteoclastogenesis. Conversely, the inhibition of GSK3β has been shown to prevent bone loss in animal models with complex physiology, suggesting that the role of GSK3β may be more significant in bone formation than bone resorption. Divergent findings have been reported regarding the efficacy of GSK3β inhibitors as bone-protecting agents. Some studies demonstrated that GSK3β inhibitors reduced osteoclast formation, while one study indicated an increase in osteoclast formation in RANKL-stimulated bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). Given the discrepancies observed in the accumulated evidence, further research is warranted, particularly regarding the use of GSK3β silencing or overexpression models. Such efforts will provide valuable insights into the direct impact of GSK3β on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption.

Abstract
Peri‑prosthetic osteolysis (PPO) induced by wear particles is considered the primary cause of titanium prosthesis failure and revision surgery. The specific molecular mechanisms involve titanium particles inducing multiple intracellular pathways, which impact disease prevention and the targeted therapy of PPO. Notably, N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) serves critical roles in epigenetic regulation, particularly in bone metabolism and inflammatory responses. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the role of RNA methylation in titanium particle‑induced osteolysis. Results of reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR), western blotting, ELISA and RNA dot blot assays revealed that titanium particles induced osteogenic inhibition and proinflammatory responses, accompanied by the reduced expression of methyltransferase‑like (Mettl) 3, a key component of m6A methyltransferase. Specific lentiviruses vectors were employed for Mettl3 knockdown and overexpression experiments. RT‑qPCR, western blotting and ELISA revealed that the knockdown of Mettl3 induced osteogenic inhibition and proinflammatory responses comparable with that induced by titanium particle, while Mettl3 overexpression attenuated titanium particle‑induced cellular reactions. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation‑qPCR results revealed that titanium particles mediated the methylation of two inhibitory molecules, namely Smad7 and SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1, via Mettl3 in bone morphogenetic protein signaling, leading to osteogenic inhibition. Furthermore, titanium particles induced activation of the nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 1 signaling pathway through methylation regulation, and the subsequent activation of the MAPK and NF‑κB pathways. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that titanium particles utilized Mettl3 as an upstream regulatory molecule to induce osteogenic inhibition and inflammatory responses. Thus, the present study may provide novel insights into potential therapeutic targets for aseptic loosening in titanium prostheses.

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

Abstract
Osteoblast dysfunction plays a crucial role in periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is recognized as an important causal factor of wear particle-induced osteolysis. However, the influence of ER stress on osteoblast activity during osteolysis and its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aims to investigate whether ER stress is involved in the detrimental effects of wear particles on osteoblasts. Through our investigation, we observed elevated expression levels of ER stress and apoptosis markers in particle-stimulated bone specimens and osteoblasts. To probe further, we employed the ER stress inhibitor, 4-PBA, to treat particle-stimulated osteoblasts. The results revealed that 4-PBA effectively alleviated particle-induced osteoblast apoptosis and mitigated osteogenic reduction. Furthermore, our study revealed that wear particle-induced ER stress in osteoblasts coincided with mitochondrial damage, calcium overload, and oxidative stress, all of which were effectively alleviated by 4-PBA treatment. Encouragingly, 4-PBA administration also improved bone formation and attenuated osteolysis in a mouse calvarial model. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that ER stress plays a crucial role in mediating wear particle-induced osteoblast apoptosis and impaired osteogenic function. These findings underscore the critical involvement of ER stress in wear particle-induced osteolysis and highlight ER stress as a potential therapeutic target for ameliorating wear particle-induced osteogenic reduction and bone destruction.

Abstract
This study compared the effects on bone metabolism and morphology of pathological obesity induced by excessive fat intake in a non-hibernator (mice) versus healthy obesity due to pre-hibernation fattening in a hibernator (ground squirrels). Kunming mice were fed a high-fat diet to provide a model of pathological obesity (OB group). Daurian ground squirrels fattened naturally in their pre-hibernation season (PRE group) were used as a healthy obesity model. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and three-point bending tests were used to determine the microstructure and mechanical properties of bone. Western blots were used to analyze protein expression levels related to bone metabolism (Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RunX2), osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), cathepsin K, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), patched protein homolog 1 (Ptch1), phosphorylated β-catenin (P-β-catenin), and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β)). Compared with controls, there was no obvious bone loss in the OB mice, and the stiffness of the femur was increased significantly. Compared with summer active squirrels, bone formation was enhanced but the mechanical properties did not change in the PRE group squirrels. In OB mice, western blots showed significantly increased expression levels of all proteins except RunX2, OPG, and Ptch1. PRE ground squirrels showed significantly increased expression of most proteins except OCN and Ptch1, which decreased significantly, and P-β-catenin and OPG, which did not change. In conclusion, for non-hibernating mice, moderate obesity had a certain protective effect on bones, demonstrating two-way regulation, increasing both bone loss and bone formation. For pre-hibernating ground squirrels, the healthy obesity acquired before hibernation had a positive effect on the microstructure of bones, and also enhanced the expression levels of proteins related to bone formation, bone resorption, and Wnt signaling.

Abstract
Biomaterials are used as implants for bone and dental disabilities. However, wear particles from the implants cause osteolysis following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Ceramic implants are considered safe and elicit a minimal response to cause periprosthetic osteolysis. However, few reports have highlighted the adverse effect of ceramic particles such as alumina (Al2O3) on various cell types. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effect of Al2O3 particles on osteoprogenitors. A comparative treatment of Al2O3, Ti, and UHMWPE particles to osteoprogenitors at a similar concentration of 200 μg/mL showed that only Al2O3 particles were able to suppress the early and late differentiation markers of osteoprogenitors, including collagen synthesis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA expression of Runx2, OSX, Col1α, and OCN. Al2O3 particles even induced inflammation and activated the NFkB signaling pathway in osteoprogenitors. Moreover, bone-forming signals such as the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway were inhibited by the Al2O3 particles. Al2O3 particles were found to induce the mRNA expression of WNT/β-catenin signaling antagonists such as DKK2, WIF, and sFRP1 several times in osteoprogenitors. Taken together, this study highlights a mechanistic view of the effect of Al2O3 particles on osteoprogenitors and suggests therapeutic targets such as NFĸB and WNT signaling pathways for ceramic particle-induced osteolysis.

Tricalcium phosphate particles promote pyroptotic death of calvaria osteocytes through the ROS/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling axis in amouse osteolysis model. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 107:108699. [PMID: 35305384 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.108699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Wear particles-induced inflammatory osteolysis, a major factor of aseptic loosening affects the long-term survival of orthopedic prostheses. Increasing observations have demonstrated that osteocytes, making up over 95% of all the bone cells, is involved in wear particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis, but its mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we embedded micro-sized tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles (30 mg) under the periosteum around the middle suture of the mouse calvaria to establish a calvarial osteolysis model and investigated the biological effects of the particles on calvaria osteocytes in vivo. Results showed that TCP particles induced pyroptosis and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in calvaria osteocytes, which was confirmed by obvious increases in empty lacunae, protein expressions of speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1 (Casp-1 p20) and cleaved gasdermin D (GSDMD-N), and resulted in elevated ratios of Casp-1 p20/Casp-1 and interleukin (IL)-1β/pro-IL-1β. Simultaneously, TCP particles enhanced serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and IL-1β. Furthermore, the pyroptotic effect was reversed by the Casp-1 inhibitor VX765 or the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950. In addition, TCP particles increased the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malonaldehyde (MDA), whereas decreased the antioxidant enzyme nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) level, leading to oxidative stress in calvaria osteocytes; the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC) attenuated these effects of pyroptotic death and the NLPR3 activation triggered by TCP particles. Collectively, our data suggested that TCP particles promote pyroptotic death of calvaria osteocytes through the ROS/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling axis, contributing to osteoclastogenesis and periprosthetic osteolysis.

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

Curculigoside Protects against Titanium Particle-Induced Osteolysis through the Enhancement of Osteoblast Differentiation and Reduction of Osteoclast Formation. J Immunol Res 2021; 2021:5707242.

Abstract
Wear particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis is mainly responsible for joint replacement failure and revision surgery. Curculigoside is reported to have bone-protective potential, but whether curculigoside attenuates wear particle-induced osteolysis remains unclear. In this study, titanium particles (Ti) were used to stimulate osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence or absence of curculigoside, to determine their effect on osteoblast differentiation. Rat osteoclastic bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were cocultured with Ti in the presence or absence of curculigoside, to evaluate its effect on osteoclast formation in vitro. Ti was also used to stimulate mouse calvaria to induce an osteolysis model, and curculigoside was administrated to evaluate its effect in the osteolysis model by micro-CT imaging and histopathological analyses. As the results indicated, in MC3T3-E1 cells, curculigoside treatment attenuated the Ti-induced inhibition on cell differentiation and apoptosis, increased alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and cell mineralization, and inhibited TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 production and ROS generation. In BMSCs, curculigoside treatment suppressed the Ti-induced cell formation and suppressed the TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 production and F-actin ring formation. In vivo, curculigoside attenuated Ti-induced bone loss and histological damage in murine calvaria. Curculigoside treatment also reversed the RANK/RANKL/OPG and NF-κB signaling pathways, by suppressing the RANKL and NF-κB expression, while activating the OPG expression. Our study demonstrated that curculigoside treatment was able to attenuate wear particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis in in vivo and in vitro experiments, promoted osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation, and inhibited osteoclast BMSC formation. It suggests that curculigoside may be a potential pharmaceutical agent for wear particle-stimulated osteolysis therapy.

Inhibition of Sirtuin 3 prevents titanium particle-induced bone resorption and osteoclastsogenesis via suppressing ERK and JNK signaling. Int J Biol Sci 2021; 17:1382-1394.

Abstract
Implant-derived wear particles can be phagocytosed by local macrophages, triggering an inflammatory cascade that can drive the activation and recruitment of osteoclasts, thereby inducing peri-prosthetic osteolysis. Efforts to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokine release and osteoclastsogenesis thus represent primary approaches to treating and preventing such osteolysis. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a NAD+-dependent deacetylases that control diverse metabolic processes. However, whether SIRT3 could mitigate wear debris-induced osteolysis has not been reported. Herein we explored the impact of the SIRT3 on titanium particle-induced osteolysis. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining revealed that the inhibition of SIRT3 suppressed nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclasts activation in a dose-dependent fashion. Notably, inhibition of SIRT3 also suppressed matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) and nuclear factor of activated T‐cell cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) expression at the mRNA and protein levels, while also inhibiting the mRNA expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), ATPase H+ Transporting V0 Subunit D2 (Atp6v0d2), TRAP and Cathepsin K (CTSK) . In addition, inhibition of SIRT3 suppressed titanium particle-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression and prevented titanium particle-induced osteolysis and bone loss in vivo. This inhibition of osteoclasts differentiation was found to be linked to the downregulation and reduced phosphorylation of JNK and ERK. Taken together, inhibition of SIRT3 may be a potential target for titanium particle-induced bone loss.

Protective effects of sirtuin 3 on titanium particle-induced osteogenic inhibition by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome via the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:3343-3357.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) remains the key factor in implant failure and subsequent revision surgery and is mainly triggered by wear particles. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of osteoblastic differentiation is the most widespread incident affecting the interface of trabecular and loosening prostheses. Additionally, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by prosthetic particles. Sirtuin3, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase of mitochondria, regulates the function of mitochondria in diverse activities. However, whether SIRT3 can mitigate wear debris-induced osteolysis by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and enhancing osteogenesis has not been previously reported. Therefore, we investigated the role of SIRT3 during the process of titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis. We revealed that upregulated SIRT3 dramatically attenuated Ti particle-induced osteogenic inhibition through suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and improvement of osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we found that SIRT3 interference in the process of Ti particle-induced osteolysis relied on the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway. Collectively, these findings indicated that SIRT3 may serve as a rational new treatment against debris-induced PPO by deacetylase-dependent inflammasome attenuation. Effect of SIRT3 on rescued wear particles-induced osteogenic inhibition. Effect of SIRT3 on inhibited the activation of pyroptosis-related NLRP3 inflammasome. Effect of SIRT3 on mitigated periprosthetic osteolysis via GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Wear debris-induced osteoclast accumulation around implants plays a crucial role during the progression of periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO). We have confirmed that acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) promotes bone formation and protects against particle-induced bone destruction in vivo. However, the effect of AKBA on titanium-induced bone resorption is unknown. In this study, we detected the inhibitory effect of AKBA on titanium-induced bone erosion in vivo and used RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) to investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of AKBA on the differentiation and resorptive function of osteoclasts. Our findings revealed that AKBA inhibited particle-induced bone loss and osteoclast formation in vivo. Furthermore, AKBA exerted inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, osteoclastic ring-dependent resorption and the expression of osteoclast marker genes via the ERK signaling pathway in vitro. Our data further established the protective effect of AKBA on titanium particle-induced bone erosion from a new perspective of bone erosion prevention, strongly confirming that AKBA is an appropriate agent for protection against PPO.

Abstract
Background The osteoclast bone resorption is critical in aseptic loosening after joint replacement. The balance between activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) is considered to play a central role in osteoclast maturation. Fibroblasts from the periprosthetic membrane express RANKL and promote osteoclast formation. Studies have demonstrated that naringin inhibited osteoclastogenesis and wear particle-induced osteolysis. In this study, the naringin-induced OPG/RANKL effects and its underlying mechanism were studied in fibroblasts from periprosthetic membrane. Methods Fibroblasts were isolated from the periprosthetic membrane during hip arthroplasty for revision due to aseptic loosening. Fibroblasts were cultured and treated with or without naringin and DKK-1 (the classical inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway). OPG and RANKL mRNA and protein levels, gene expression of β-catenin, and cyclin D1, which participate in the Wnt signaling pathway, were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The mRNA and protein levels of OPG were enhanced by naringin in a dose-dependent manner compared to that of the non-treated control. In contrast, naringin did not affect the expression of RANKL. Importantly, DKK-1 attenuated OPG expression in fibroblasts under naringin treatment. Moreover, naringin stimulated the gene expression of β-catenin and cyclin D1 in fibroblasts, and the effect could be inhibited by DKK-1. Conclusion The results indicated that naringin enhanced OPG expression through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in fibroblasts from periprosthetic membrane, which may be useful to inhibit periprosthetic osteolysis during aseptic loosening after total joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
The presence of metal ions, such as titanium (Ti) ions, is toxic to adjacent tissues of implants. Indeed, Ti ions may induce an inflammatory response through the NF-κB pathway, thus causing damage to soft and hard tissues. The involvement of Yes-associated protein (YAP), a key factor of the Hippo pathway, in an immuno-inflammatory response has been confirmed, whereas its role in Ti ion-mediated inflammation has not been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of signal crosstalk between the Hippo/YAP and NF-κB signaling pathways in the pro-inflammatory effect of Ti ions on macrophages. In our work, RAW264.7 cells were cocultured with Ti ions. The migration capacity of macrophages under Ti ion exposure was measured by transwell assay. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of related proteins. Polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The nucleus translocation of YAP and P65 was visualized and analyzed via immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that the migration of macrophages was promoted under Ti ion exposure. Ten parts per million Ti ions induced nuclear expression of YAP and activated the NF-κB pathway, which finally upregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. Moreover, the inhibition of the NF-κB pathway rescued the reduction of YAP expression under Ti ion exposure. Most importantly, the overexpression of YAP exacerbated the inflammatory response mediated by Ti ions through the NF-κB pathway. In summary, this study explored the mechanism of Hippo-YAP/NF-κB pathway crosstalk involved in the regulation of macrophage behaviors under Ti ion exposure.

Abstract
Over the last decades, joint arthroplasty has become a successful treatment for joint disease. Nowadays, with a growing demand and increasingly younger and active patients accepting these approaches, orthopedic surgeons are seeking implants with improved mechanical behavior and longer life span. However, aseptic loosening as a result of wear debris from implants is considered to be the main cause of long-term implant failure. Previous studies have neatly illustrated the role of micrometric wear particles in the pathological mechanisms underlying aseptic loosening. Recent osteoimmunologic insights into aseptic loosening highlight the important and heretofore underrepresented contribution of nanometric orthopedic wear particles. The present review updates the characteristics of metallic and ceramic nanoparticles generated after prosthesis implantation and summarizes the current understanding of their hazardous effects on peri-prosthetic cells.

The poor tribological performances of titanium have significantly limited its applications in the field of artificial joints. In order to solve problems regarding the wear and corrosion of artificial joints in the body, we fabricated the composite materials utilizing the combination of laser surface texturing and nitrogen ion implantation technology, and investigated the effect of laser surface texturing, nitrogen ion implantation, and different dimple area densities on tribological performance. The results show that the textured surface could reduce the friction coefficient and improve the wear resistance, and the optimum dimple density was found to be 25%. After N ion implantation, the wear resistance of the textured sample was further improved, due to the formation of the nitride layer. Moreover, as shown by the electrochemical test results, the corrosion resistance was enhanced significantly. The friction coefficient decreased the most, and the wear resistance increased by 405% with the lowest wear rate of 0.37 × 10−3 mm3/N·m. However, the specimen with a dimple density of 60% had the worst wear resistance. The results of the study provide a basis for the development and application of artificial joint materials.

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

Abstract
Rationale: Wear particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) is a common long-term complication of total joint arthroplasty, and represents the major cause of aseptic loosening and subsequent implant failure. Previous studies have identified the central role of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in the pathogenesis of PPO. Thus, therapeutic approaches of inhibiting osteoclast formation and activity are considered to be of great potential to prevent and treat this osteolytic disease. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling has been shown to play an important role in promoting osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. While Hh signaling is also implicated in regulating osteoclastogenesis, whether it can directly inhibit osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption remains controversial. Moreover, its potential therapeutic effects on PPO have never been assessed. In this study, we explored the cell-autonomous role of Hh signaling in regulating osteoclastogenesis and its therapeutic potential in preventing wear particle-induced osteolysis. Methods: Hh signaling was activated in macrophages by genetically ablating Sufu in these cells using LysM-Cre or by treating them with purmorphamine (PM), a pharmacological activator of Smoothened (Smo). In vitro cell-autonomous effects of Hh pathway activation on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and activity were evaluated by TRAP staining, phalloidin staining, qPCR analyses, and bone resorption assays. In vivo evaluation of its therapeutic efficacy against PPO was performed in a murine calvarial model of titanium particle-induced osteolysis by μCT and histological analyses. Mechanistic details were explored in RANKL-treated macrophages through Western blot analyses. Results: We found that Sufu deletion or PM treatment potently activated Hh signaling in macrophages, and strongly inhibited RANKL-induced TRAP+ osteoclast production, F-actin ring formation, osteoclast-specific gene expression, and osteoclast activity in vitro. Furthermore, we found that Sufu deletion or PM administration significantly attenuated titanium particle-induced osteoclast formation and bone loss in vivo. Our mechanistic study revealed that activation of Hh signaling suppressed RANKL-induced activation of JNK pathway and downregulated protein levels of two key osteoclastic transcriptional factors, c-Fos and its downstream target NFATc1. Conclusions: Both genetic and pharmacological activation of Hh signaling can cell-autonomously inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and activity in vitro and protect against titanium particle-induced osteolysis in vivo. Mechanistically, Hh signaling hinders osteoclastogenesis partly through suppressing the JNK/c-Fos-NFATc1 cascade. Thus, Hh signaling may serve as a promising therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of PPO and other osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to be a crucial role in stem cell-associated bone regeneration. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) remain largely unclear. We found that overexpression of circRNA124534 unexpectedly promoted DPSCs osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Our results confirmed circRNA124534, acting as a miRNA sponge, directly interacts with miR-496 and consequently regulates β-catenin, which in turn exerts osteogenesis of DPSCs. Enforced expression of miR-496 reversed the osteogenesis of circRNA124534, and suppression of miR-496 enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs by promoting β-catenin. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate functions of circRNA124534 in modulating osteogenic differentiation through the miR-496/β-catenin pathway; thus, providing a novel potential target for therapy.

Titanium Porous Coating Using 3D Direct Energy Deposition (DED) Printing for Cementless TKA Implants: Does It Induce Chronic Inflammation? MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13020472.

Abstract
Because of the recent technological advances, the cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant showed satisfactory implant survival rate. Newly developed 3D printing direct energy deposition (DED) has superior resistance to abrasion as compared to traditional methods. However, there is still concern about the mechanical stability and the risk of osteolysis by the titanium (Ti) nanoparticles. Therefore, in this work, we investigated whether DED Ti-coated cobalt-chrome (CoCr) alloys induce chronic inflammation reactions through in vitro and in vivo models. We studied three types of implant surfaces (smooth, sand-blasted, and DED Ti-coated) to compare their inflammatory reaction. We conducted the in vitro effect of specimens using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and an inflammatory cytokine assay. Subsequently, in vivo analysis of the immune profiling, cytokine assay, and histomorphometric evaluation using C57BL/6 mice were performed. There were no significant differences in the CCK-8 assay, the cytokine assay, and the immune profiling assay. Moreover, there were no difference for semi-quantitative histomorphometry analysis at 4 and 8 weeks among the sham, smooth, and DED Ti-coated samples. These results suggest that DED Ti-coated printing technique do not induce chronic inflammation both in vitro and in vivo. It has biocompatibility for being used as a surface coating of TKA implant.

Abstract
Rationale: Peri-prosthetic osteolysis (PPO) is mainly induced by wear particles and represents the leading cause of implant failure and revision surgery. Previous studies have identified mitigation of wear particle-induced inflammation and bone resorption as the main approaches to treat PPO. Recently, wear particle-induced reduction of bone formation around the prosthesis was identified as a major factor in the development of PPO. Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), a derivative of frankincense, has been shown to play a potential role in bone metabolism. However, whether AKBA enhances bone formation in wear particle-induced osteolysis remains unknown. In this study, we examined whether AKBA attenuates titanium particle-induced osteogenic reduction. Methods: Titanium particles were used to induce osteolysis in murine calvaria, and micro-CT and histological analyses were used to evaluate the results. Mouse osteoblast cells, MC3T3-E1 were co-cultured with titanium particles to determine their effect on osteoblast formation in vitro. Results: We demonstrated that AKBA treatment significantly inhibited titanium particle-induced osteogenic inhibition by enhancing osteogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. AKBA treatment also enhanced the phosphorylation of GSK-3β, decreased the degradation of β-catenin, and increased the translocation of β-catenin from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Taken together, these results showed that AKBA treatment attenuated titanium-induced osteogenic inhibition by activating the GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway. Conclusion: These findings suggest that AKBA is a promising new target in the prevention and treatment of PPO.

Abstract
Background Wear particle-induced inflammatory osteolysis and the consequent aseptic loosening constitute the leading reasons for prosthesis failure and revision surgery. Several studies have demonstrated that the macrophage polarization state and immune response play critical roles in periprosthetic osteolysis and tissue repair, but the immunomodulatory role of lithium chloride (LiCl), which has a protective effect on wear particle-induced osteolysis by suppressing osteoclasts and attenuating inflammatory responses, has never been investigated. Methods In this work, the immunomodulatory capability of LiCl on titanium (Ti) nanoparticle-stimulated transformation of macrophage phenotypes and the subsequent effect on osteogenic differentiation were investigated. We first speculated that LiCl attenuated Ti nanoparticle-stimulated inflammation responses by driving macrophage polarization and generating an immune micro-environment to improve osteogenesis. Furthermore, a metal nanoparticle-stimulated murine air pouch inflammatory model was applied to confirm this protective effect in vivo. Results The results revealed that metal nanoparticles significantly activate M1 phenotype (proinflammatory macrophage) expression and increase proinflammatory cytokines secretions in vitro and in vivo, whereas LiCl drives macrophages to the M2 phenotype (anti-inflammatory macrophage) and increases the release of anti-inflammatory and bone-related cytokines. This improved the osteogenic differentiation capability of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). In addition, we also provided evidence that LiCl inhibits the phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways in wear particle-treated macrophages. Conclusion LiCl has the immunomodulatory effects to alleviate Ti nanoparticle-mediated inflammatory reactions and enhance the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by driving macrophage polarization. Thus, LiCl may be an effective therapeutic alternative for preventing and treating wear debris-induced inflammatory osteolysis.

Abstract
Inhibition of bone regeneration by wear debris is the main cause of peri-prosthetic osteolysis. Here, we investigated the effect of icariin on cell proliferation, apoptosis, osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization of osteoblasts in an in vitro model of titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis. In the present study, MC3T3-E1 cells were pretreated with 10-8 M icariin for 4 h and then incubated with Ti particles (0.1 mg/mL). The results showed that Ti particles inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells, whereas icariin pretreatment blocked the effect of Ti particles. In addition, we found that icariin stimulation alone increased ALP activity, accelerated matrix mineralization and upregulated the levels of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osteocalcin (OCN) and miR-21-5p; whereas, Ti particles alone exerted the opposite effects. Icariin partly reversed the effect of Ti particles on cell differentiation and mineralization. Twenty hours after transfection with antagomiR-21-5p or antagomiR-NC, the cells were pretreated with icariin for 4 h and then incubated with Ti particles. Further studies showed that partial knockdown of miR-21-5p abolished the promotion effect of icariin on osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization in Ti particle-stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, miR-21-5p may be a potential pro-osteogenesis regulator and icariin may protect against Ti particle-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization through upregulation of miR-21-5p.

Abstract
Orthodontic force-induced osteogenic differentiation and bone formation at tension sites play a critical role in orthodontic tooth movement. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon is poorly understood. In the current study, we investigated the involvement of the GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is critical for bone formation during tooth movement. We established a rat tooth movement model to test the hypothesis that orthodontic force may stimulate bone formation at the tension site of the moved tooth and promote the rate of tooth movement via regulation of the GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway. Our results showed that continued mechanical loading increased the distance between the first and second molar in rats. In addition, the loading force increased bone formation at the tension site, and also increased phospho-Ser9-GSK-3β expression and β-catenin signaling pathway activity. Downregulation of GSK-3β activity further increased bone parameters, including bone mineral density, bone volume to tissue volume and trabecular thickness, as well as ALP- and osterix-positive cells at tension sites during tooth movement. However, ICG-001, the β-catenin selective inhibitor, reversed the positive effects of GSK-3β inhibition. In addition, pharmaceutical inhibition of GSK-3β or local treatment with β-catenin inhibitor did not influence the rate of tooth movement. Based on these results, we concluded that GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling contributes to the bone remodeling induced by orthodontic forces, and can be used as a potential therapeutic target in clinical dentistry.

J Cell Biochem 2017; 119:1074-1082.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibroblasts ossification. However, effective drug therapy for AS is lacking. As an antidiabetic drug, metformin has demonstrated an antiosteogenic effect on osteoblasts in vitro. And it is also a kind of specific agonists for adenosine 5'-monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is blocked in the process of AS. Given the role in antiosteogenesis and AMPK activating, metformin was investigated of its effect on fibroblasts harvested from capsular ligament of patients with femoral neck fracture and AS. Osteogenic specific makers (Alp, Bglap, Runx2, Bmp2, and Col1) in fibroblasts administered with metformin (20 μg/mL) were detected by ALP staining, alizarin red staining, qPCR, and Western blotting after 7 and 14 days of culture. Inflammation genes (il1-β and il6) and pathway (Pi3k, Akt, and Ampk) associated markers were also evaluated. Our results showed that osteogenic specific markers were greatly downregulated and ossification was effectively inhibited in AS fibroblasts after addition of metformin. Levels of inflammation markers were also decreased by metformin. Thus, metformin exerts potent effect on suppression of ossification and inflammation in AS fibroblasts via the activation of Pi3k/Akt and AMPK pathways, which may be developed as a potential agent for treatment of AS.
