Pharmacol Res 2023; 192:106778. [PMID: 37094714 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2023.106778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
Curcumin could inhibit periprosthetic osteolysis induced by wear debris and adherent endotoxin, which commonly cause prosthesis loosening and negatively influence the long-term survival of joint arthroplasty. However, its limited water solubility and poor stability pose challenges for its further clinical application. To address these issues, we developed curcumin liposomes for intraarticular injection, as liposomes possess good lubricant capacity and pharmacological synergy with curcumin. Additionally, a nanocrystal dosage form was prepared to enable comparison with the liposomes based on their ability to disperse curcumin effectively. A microfluidic method was used for its controllability, repeatability, and scalability. The Box-Behnken Design was employed to screen the formulations and flow parameters, while computational fluid dynamics was used to simulate the mixing process and predict the formation of liposomes. The optimized curcumin liposomes (Cur-LPs) had a size of 132.9nm and an encapsulation efficiency of 97.1%, whereas the curcumin nanocrystals (Cur-NCs) had a size of 172.3nm. Both Cur-LPs and Cur-NCs inhibited LPS-induced pro-inflammatory polarization of macrophages and reduced the expression and secretion of inflammatory factors. The mouse air pouch model further demonstrated that both dosage forms attenuated inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory fibrosis in subcutaneous tissues. Interestingly, the anti-inflammatory effect of Cur-LPs was more potent than that of Cur-NCs, both in vitro and in vivo, although the cellular uptake of Cur-NCs was quicker. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that Cur-LPs have great potential for the clinical treatment of inflammatory osteolysis and that the therapeutic effect is closely related to the liposomal dosage form.

Insight into the Molecule Impact of Critical-Sized UHMWPE-ALN Wear Particles on Cells by the Alginate-Encapsulated Cell Reactor. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043510. [PMID: 36834920 PMCID: PMC9967683 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043510] [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: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Wear particles of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are inevitable during service as joint prosthesis, and particles ≤ 10 μm with critical size could cause serious osteolysis and aseptic loosening of joint prosthesis. The aim of this study is to adopt the alginate-encapsulated cell reactor to investigate the molecular impact of critical-sized wear particles of UHMWPE loaded with alendronate sodium (UHMWPE-ALN) on cells. Results showed that compared with UHMWPE wear particles, UHMWPE-ALN wear particles inhibited the proliferation of macrophages significantly after being co-cultured for 1, 4, 7, and 14 d. Furthermore, the released ALN promoted early apoptosis, suppressed the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 of macrophages, and down-regulated relative gene expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and RANK. In addition, compared with UHMWPE wear particles, UHMWPE-ALN wear particles promoted the ALP activity of osteoblasts, down-regulated the gene expression of RANKL, and up-regulated gene expression of osteoprotegerin. There were mainly two approaches of the effects of critical-sized UHMWPE-ALN wear particles on cells, one of which was cytology and the other was cytokine signal pathway. The former mainly affected the proliferation and activity of macrophages and osteoblasts. The latter would inhibit osteoclasts via cytokine and RANKL/RANK signal pathway. Thus, UHMWPE-ALN had the potential application in clinics to treat osteolysis induced by wear particles.

Abstract
Objective Following bone trauma, several factors participate in making a balance between the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) molecules play critical roles in the healing process via regulation of osteoclasts function. Turmeric is suggested to have an anti-osteogenic potential; however, its effect on accelerating bone healing has not been adequately studied. Here, we used a rat model of femur fracture to explore the effect of treatment with turmeric extract on the bone repair and the expression of RANK, RANKL, and OPG molecules. Materials and Methods Eight rats were subjected to surgery, randomly divided into two groups, and treated orally with turmeric (200 mg/kg), or olive oil. Four oil-treated rats without bone fracture were used as control group. After six weeks of treatment, the femurs of animals were examined for radiological, histological, and gene expression analysis. Results X-ray radiography showed thicker callus and a more obscure fracture line in the turmeric group. Furthermore, higher osteoblast percentages but no osteoclasts were observed in turmeric-treated animals, representing better repair of bone in the fracture site. Also, real-time analyses showed that treatment with turmeric reduced RANK and RANKL expression (p<0.0001) and lowered RANKL/OPG ratio (p=0.01) in femoral bone tissue. Conclusion Our findings indicated the turmeric ability to facilitate bone hemostasis and optimize the expression of key markers involved in the bone metabolism.

Abstract
TLRs recognizing PAMPS play a role in local immunity and participate in implant-associated loosening. TLR-mediated signaling is primarily regulated by IL-1 receptor associated kinase-M (IRAK-M) negatively and IRAK-4 positively. Our previous studies have proved that wear particles promote endotoxin tolerance in macrophages by inducing IRAK-M. However, whether IRAK-4 is involved in inflammatory osteolysis of wear particles basically, and the specific mechanism of IRAK-4 around loosened hip implants, is still unclear. IRAK-4 was studied in the interface membranes from patients in vivo and in particle-stimulated macrophages to clarify its role. Also, IL-1β and TNF-α levels were measured after particle and LPS stimulation in macrophages with or without IRAK-4 silenced by siRNA. Our results showed that the interface membranes around aseptic and septic loosened prosthesis expressed more IRAK-4 compared with membranes from osteoarthritic patients. IRAK-4 in macrophages increased upon particle and LPS stimulation. In the former, IL-1β and TNF-α levels were lower compared with those of LPS stimulation, and IRAK-4 siRNA could suppress production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These findings suggest that besides IRAK-M, IRAK-4 also plays an important role in the local inflammatory reaction and contributes to prosthesis loosening.

Abstract
Objective Aseptic loosening, the most frequent complication after total joint replacement, is
probably caused by an inflammatory response to the shedding of wear debris from the
implant. The only effective treatment is surgical revision. Using a mouse model, we
investigated whether enalapril inhibits wear debris-induced inflammatory osteolysis. Methods Titanium (Ti) alloy particles were introduced, and calvarial bone from syngeneic mice
was implanted into air pouches established in BALB/c mice. Histological and molecular
analyses were performed with inflammatory tissue samples obtained from mice treated with
and without enalapril. Results Enalapril inhibited tissue inflammation and inflammatory osteolysis induced by Ti
particles, reducing pouch membrane thickness and decreasing inflammatory cell
infiltration. In addition, enalapril inhibited the expression of the inflammatory
cytokines vascular endothelial growth factor and tumor necrosis factor-α. Conclusions Our study provides evidence that enalapril inhibits Ti particle-induced inflammatory
osteolysis, and it may be a potentially useful treatment for aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this case report is to analyze the treatment of a patient with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) using natural medicine. Clinical Features A 73-year-old woman complained of PsA in her second and third digits with gradual onset over a 6-month period. PsA was manifesting as dactylitis with moderate to severe stiffness and edema in her proximal and distal interphalangeal joints and the surrounding soft tissue. A radiographic image revealed narrowing of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, mild erosion, and periosteal thickening. Intervention and Outcome Traditional Chinese Medicine-style acupuncture was combined with 500 mg of turmeric curcumin (Curcuma longa root extract) with 3 mg of black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) that was standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids, 425 mg of sarsaparilla root (Smilax officinalis) powdered capsules that were not standardized and 10,000 IU vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol oil capsules once a day. She received 2 acupuncture treatments in combination with the supplements. She experienced an increased range of motion and a reduction in edema and stiffness. She continued to experience a reduction in symptomatology while supplementing with turmeric curcumin, sarsaparilla root, and vitamin D3, which might have helped to control her symptoms. Supplementation with these agents may have helped to maintain the swelling and stiffness at a tolerable level for the past year. Conclusion The natural modalities administered to the patient might have been able to reduce her symptoms of PsA and maintain them at a tolerable level. Acupuncture, turmeric, sarsaparilla root, and vitamin D3 could be viable natural alternatives for the treatment of PsA.

Abstract
The bone protective effects of carotenoids have been demonstrated in several studies, and the inhibition of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by lycopene has also been demonstrated. We previously reported that carotenoid oxidation products are the active mediators in the activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 and the inhibition of the NF-ƙB transcription system by carotenoids. Here, we demonstrate that lycopene oxidation products are more potent than intact lycopene in inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. We analyzed the structure-activity relationship of a series of dialdehyde carotenoid derivatives (diapocarotene-dials) in inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. We found that the degree of inhibition depends on the electron density of the carbon atom that determines the reactivity of the conjugated double bond in reactions such as Michael addition to thiol groups in proteins. Moreover, the carotenoid derivatives attenuated the NF-ƙB signal through inhibition of IƙB phosphorylation and NF-ƙB translocation to the nucleus. In addition, we show a synergistic inhibition of osteoclast differentiation by combinations of an active carotenoid derivative with the polyphenols curcumin and carnosic acid with combination index (CI) values < 1. Our findings suggest that carotenoid derivatives inhibit osteoclast differentiation, partially by inhibiting the NF-ƙB pathway. In addition, carotenoid derivatives can synergistically inhibit osteoclast differentiation with curcumin and carnosic acid.

Abstract
Wear particle‐stimulated inflammatory bone destruction and the consequent aseptic loosening remain the primary causes of artificial prosthesis failure and revision. Previous studies have demonstrated that curcumin has a protective effect on bone disorders and inflammatory diseases and can ameliorate polymethylmethacrylate‐induced osteolysis in vivo. However, the effect on immunomodulation and the definitive mechanism by which curcumin reduces the receptor activators of nuclear factor‐kappa B ligand (RANKL)‐stimulated osteoclast formation and prevents the activation of osteoclastic signalling pathways are unclear. In this work, the immunomodulation effect and anti‐osteoclastogenesis capacities exerted by curcumin on titanium nanoparticle‐stimulated macrophage polarization and on RANKL‐mediated osteoclast activation and differentiation in osteoclastic precursor cells in vitro were investigated. As expected, curcumin inhibited RANKL‐stimulated osteoclast maturation and formation and had an immunomodulatory effect on macrophage polarization in vitro. Furthermore, studies aimed to identify the potential molecular and cellular mechanisms revealed that this protective effect of curcumin on osteoclastogenesis occurred through the amelioration of the activation of Akt/NF‐κB/NFATc1 pathways. Additionally, an in vivo mouse calvarial bone destruction model further confirmed that curcumin ameliorated the severity of titanium nanoparticle‐stimulated bone loss and destruction. Our results conclusively indicated that curcumin, a major biologic component of Curcuma longa with anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for osteoclastic diseases.

Abstract
Curcumin has been placed at the forefront of the researcher's attention due to its pleiotropic pharmacological effects and health benefits. A considerable volume of articles has pointed out curcumin's effects on the fate of stem cell differentiation. In this review, a descriptive mechanism of how curcumin affects the outcome of the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the mesodermal lineage-i.e., adipocyte, osteocyte, and chondrocyte differentiation-is compiled from the literature. The sections include the mechanism of inhibition or induction of MSCs differentiation to each lineage, their governing molecular mechanisms, and their signal transduction pathways. The effect of different curcumin doses and its structural modifications on the MSCs differentiation is also discussed.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the role of PKR-like endoplasmic reticular kinase (PERK), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress kinase, in endothelin 1 (ET-1)- and thrombin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and the preventive effects of curcumin (CUR). Using the human embryonic WI-38 lung fibroblast cell line, ET-1 and thrombin induced the expression of ER stress-related proteins (CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein, PERK, and binding immunoglobulin protein), a profibrogenic factor (cellular communication network factor 2 [CCN2]), and differentiation markers including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I (Col I), and Col IV. Knockdown of PERK expression via small interfering RNA (siRNA) significantly reduced the increases in CCN2, α-SMA, Col I, and Col IV proteins in WI-38 cells according to western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was observed in ET-1- and thrombin-treated WI-38 cells, and the addition of a JNK inhibitor (SP) suppressed the induction of the indicated proteins by ET-1 and thrombin. Thapsigargin (TG), an ER stress inducer, elevated expressions of PERK and ER stress-related proteins with increased differentiation of WI-38 cells. Knockdown of PERK by siRNA or the PERK inhibitor glycogen synthesis kinase reduced expressions of the differentiation markers, α-SMA and Col IV, in WI-38 cells. CUR concentration-dependently inhibited ET-1- or thrombin-induced CCN2, α-SMA, and vimentin proteins with decreased levels of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase and PERK in WI-38 cells. An in vivo bleomycin-induced PF study showed that an intraperitoneal injection of CUR (30 mg/kg) reduced expressions of α-SMA, CCN2, Col IV, and vimentin in lung tissues via IHC staining using specific antibodies. This study is the first to demonstrate that PERK activation contributes to pulmonary fibroblast differentiation elicited by ET-1 or thrombin, and the inhibitory activity of CUR against PF is demonstrated herein.

Metallic wear debris collected from patients induces apoptosis in rat primary osteoblasts via reactive oxygen species‑mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Mol Med Rep 2019; 19:1629-1637.

Abstract
Although total hip arthroplasty is considered to be an effective surgical procedure for treating hip joint diseases, it is hindered by implant wear debris, which induces aseptic loosening. Various cell types are involved in this pathogenesis; however, the interactions between wear debris and osteoblasts, which serve a crucial role in bone formation, have not been clearly illustrated. In the present study, minor metallic wear particles were collected from the interfacial membrane around loosened implants of patients, and the biological effects of these particles on rat primary osteoblasts were then explored. The results demonstrated that metallic wear debris was able to induce the apoptosis of treated cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, it was identified that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation increased, the mitochondrial membrane potential collapsed, and the mitochondria-caspase-dependent and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress apoptotic pathways were activated following metallic wear debris application. In addition, apoptosis and associated pathways were inhibited by the use of N-acetyl-L-cysteine, an antioxidant that suppresses ROS production, indicating that the ROS generation triggered ER stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and downstream cascades that contributed to cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that metallic wear debris-induced ROS serve an important role in the apoptosis of osteoblasts. This provides a valuable insight, not only into understanding the mechanisms underlying the involvement of osteoblasts in osteolysis, but also into a potential novel therapeutic approach to treat implant aseptic loosening.
