Abstract
Objectives Endoprosthetic loosening still plays a major role in orthopaedic and dental surgery and includes various cellular immune processes within peri-implant tissues. Although the dental and orthopaedic processes vary in certain parts, the clinical question arises whether there are common immune regulators of implant loosening. Analyzing the key gene expressions common to both processes reveals the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis within periprosthetic tissues of orthopaedic and dental origin. Methods Donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and intraoperatively obtained periprosthetic fibroblast-like cells (PPFs) were (co-)cultured with [± macrophage-colony stimulating factor (MCSF) and Receptor Activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)] in transwell and monolayer culture systems and examined for osteoclastogenic regulations [MCSF, RANKL, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)] as well as the ability of bone resorption. Sequencing analysis compared dental and orthopaedic (co-)cultures. Results Monolayer co-cultures of both origins expressed high levels of OPG, resulting in inhibition of osteolysis shown by resorption assay on dentin. The high OPG-expression, low RANKL/OPG ratios and a resulting inhibition of osteolysis were displayed by dental and orthopaedic PPFs in monolayer even in the presence of MCSF and RANKL, acting as osteoprotective and immunoregulatory cells. The osteoprotective function was only observed in monolayer cultures of dental and orthopaedic periprosthetic cells and downregulated in the transwell system. In transwell co-cultures of PBMCs/PPFs profound changes of gene expression, with a significant decrease of OPG (20-fold dental versus 100 fold orthopaedic), were identified. Within transwell cultures, which offer more in vivo like conditions, RANKL/OPG ratios displayed similar high levels to the original periprosthetic tissue. For dental and orthopaedic implant loosening, overlapping findings in principal component and heatmap analysis were identified. Conclusions Thus, periprosthetic osteoclastogenesis may be a correlating immune process in orthopaedic and dental implant failure leading to comparable reactions with regard to osteoclast formation. The transwell cultures system may provide an in vivo like model for the exploration of orthopaedic and dental implant loosening.

Abstract
In the skeletal system, inflammation is closely associated with many skeletal disorders, including periprosthetic osteolysis (bone loss around orthopedic implants), osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. These diseases, referred to as inflammatory bone diseases, are caused by various oxidative stress factors in the body, resulting in long-term chronic inflammatory processes and eventually causing disturbances in bone metabolism, increased osteoclast activity, and decreased osteoblast activity, thereby leading to osteolysis. Inflammatory bone diseases caused by nonbacterial factors include inflammation- and bone resorption-related processes. A growing number of studies show that exosomes play an essential role in developing and progressing inflammatory bone diseases. Mechanistically, exosomes are involved in the onset and progression of inflammatory bone disease and promote inflammatory osteolysis, but specific types of exosomes are also involved in inhibiting this process. Exosomal regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway affects macrophage polarization and regulates inflammatory responses. The inflammatory response further causes alterations in cytokine and exosome secretion. These signals regulate osteoclast differentiation through the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kappaB ligand pathway and affect osteoblast activity through the Wnt pathway and the transcription factor Runx2, thereby influencing bone metabolism. Overall, enhanced bone resorption dominates the overall mechanism, and over time, this imbalance leads to chronic osteolysis. Understanding the role of exosomes may provide new perspectives on their influence on bone metabolism in inflammatory bone diseases. At the same time, exosomes have a promising future in diagnosing and treating inflammatory bone disease due to their unique properties.
