Abstract
Bone regeneration therapy is clinically important, and targeted regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is important in regenerative medicine. The processing of proteins in the ER controls cell fate. The accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins occurs in pathological states, triggering ER stress. ER stress restores homeostasis through three main mechanisms, including protein kinase-R-like ER kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1ɑ (IRE1ɑ) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, the UPR has both adaptive and apoptotic effects. Modulation of ER stress has therapeutic potential for numerous diseases. Repair of bone defects involves both angiogenesis and bone regeneration. Here, we review the effects of ER stress on osteogenesis and angiogenesis, with emphasis on ER stress under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions, and the use of ER stress inducers or inhibitors to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, we highlight the ability for exosomes to regulate ER stress. Recent advances in the regulation of ER stress mediated osteogenesis and angiogenesis suggest novel therapeutic options for bone defects.

Abstract
The disability rate of joint diseases can be reduced by the use of artificial joints, but joint loosening at a late state limits the lifespan and surgical efficacy of the joints. Wear particles can be recognized by macrophages and induce cells to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors, causing persistent inflammation and decreased osteogenic activity, which ultimately leads to loosening of joint prostheses. Here, the platinum (Pt) nanozymes with excellent ROS scavenging and anti-inflammatory capabilities were encapsulated in zinc imidazolium zeolite framework-8 (ZIF-8), and then the osteogenic active element lanthanum (La) was introduced through ion exchange to finally construct a bimetallic metal-organic framework (Pt@ZIF-8@La). In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that this multifunctional nanoplatform possessed the functions of efficient scavenging of ROS, immune regulation, and promotion of osteogenic differentiation. Meanwhile, the mechanism is explored that Pt@ZIF-8@La can also promote osteogenic mineralization by upregulating the ratio of the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL), which can achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect of immunomodulation and osteogenesis, thereby realizing the purpose of relieving aseptic osteolysis.

Abstract
Titanium and Titanium alloys are widely used as biomedical implants in oral and maxillofacial surgery, due to superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In specific clinical populations such as the elderly, diabetics and patients with metabolic diseases, the failure rate of medical metal implants is increased significantly, putting them at increased risk of revision surgery. Many studies show that the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment of bone tissue surrounding implant materials is increased in patients undergoing revision surgery. In addition, the size and shape of materials, the morphology, wettability, mechanical properties, and other properties play significant roles in the production of ROS. The accumulated ROS break the original balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation, resulting in host oxidative stress. It may accelerate implant degradation mainly by activating inflammatory cells. Peri-implantitis usually leads to a loss of bone mass around the implant, which tends to affect the long-term stability and longevity of implant. Therefore, a great deal of research is urgently needed to focus on developing antibacterial technologies. The addition of active elements to biomedical titanium and titanium alloys greatly reduce the risk of postoperative infection in patients. Besides, innovative technologies are developing new biomaterials surfaces conferring anti-infective properties that rely on the production of ROS. It can be considered that ROS may act as a messenger substance for the communication between the host and the implanted material, which run through the entire wound repair process and play a role that cannot be ignored. It is necessary to understand the interaction between oxidative stress and materials, the effects of oxidative stress products on osseointegration and implant life as well as ROS-induced bactericidal activity. This helps to facilitate the development of a new generation of well-biocompatible implant materials with ROS responsiveness, and ultimately prolong the lifespan of implants.

The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate alleviates CoCrMo alloy particles induced osteolysis by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome and osteoclast differentiation. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:120. [PMID: 35264201 PMCID: PMC8905851 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01320-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Aseptic Loosening (AL) following periprosthetic osteolysis is the main long-term complication after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, there is rare effective treatment except for revision surgery, which is costly and painful to the patients. In recent years, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) has attracted much attention and has been proved to be beneficial in many chronic diseases. With respect to the studies on the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), its anti-inflammatory ability has been widely investigated. Although the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate has been applied in many inflammatory diseases and has achieved considerable therapeutic efficacy, its effect on wear particles induced osteolysis is still unknown. Results In this work, we confirmed that the anti-inflammatory action of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) could be reappeared in CoCrMo alloy particles induced osteolysis. Mechanistically, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) deactivated the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome triggered by CoCrMo alloy particles. Of note, this inhibitory action was independent of Gpr109a receptor as well as histone deacetylase (HDAC) suppression. Furthermore, given that butyrate, one kind of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) structurally related to β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), has been reported to be an inhibitor of osteoclast, thus we also investigate the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on osteoclast, which was contributed to bone resorption. It was found that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) did not only affect osteoclast differentiation, but also inhibit its function. Unlike the inflammasome, the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on osteoclast may mainly rely on histone deacetylase (HDAC) suppression. Conclusions In general, our study showed that the alleviation of osteolysis may owe to the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) on inflammasome deactivation and osteoclast. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Revealing Inflammatory Indications Induced by Titanium Alloy Wear Debris in Periprosthetic Tissue by Label-Free Correlative High-Resolution Ion, Electron and Optical Microspectroscopy. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14113048. [PMID: 34205030 PMCID: PMC8199876 DOI: 10.3390/ma14113048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
The metallic-associated adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) and events accompanying worn-broken implant materials are still poorly understood on the subcellular and molecular level. Current immunohistochemical techniques lack spatial resolution and chemical sensitivity to investigate causal relations between material and biological response on submicron and even nanoscale. In our study, new insights of titanium alloy debris-tissue interaction were revealed by the implementation of label-free high-resolution correlative microscopy approaches. We have successfully characterized its chemical and biological impact on the periprosthetic tissue obtained at revision surgery of a fractured titanium-alloy modular neck of a patient with hip osteoarthritis. We applied a combination of photon, electron and ion beam micro-spectroscopy techniques, including hybrid optical fluorescence and reflectance micro-spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), helium ion microscopy (HIM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE). Micron-sized wear debris were found as the main cause of the tissue oxidative stress exhibited through lipopigments accumulation in the nearby lysosome. This may explain the indications of chronic inflammation from prior histologic examination. Furthermore, insights on extensive fretting and corrosion of the debris on nm scale and a quantitative measure of significant Al and V release into the tissue together with hydroxyapatite-like layer formation particularly bound to the regions with the highest Al content were revealed. The functional and structural information obtained at molecular and subcellular level contributes to a better understanding of the macroscopic inflammatory processes observed in the tissue level. The established label-free correlative microscopy approach can efficiently be adopted to study any other clinical cases related to ALTR.

Abstract
Ceramic orthopaedic implants are increasingly popular due to the need for robust total joint replacement implants that have a high success rate long-term and do not induce biological responses in patients. This study was designed to investigate the biological effects of ceramic nanopowders containing aluminium oxide or zirconium oxide to activate the human macrophage THP-1 cell line. In vitro investigation of pro-inflammatory gene expression and chemokine secretion was performed studied using RT-qPCR and ELISA, respectively. TLR4 inhibition, using a small-molecule inhibitor, was used to determine whether ceramic-mediated inflammation occurs in a similar manner to that of metals such as cobalt. THP-1 macrophages were primed with ceramics or LPS and then treated with ATP or ceramics, respectively, to determine whether these nanopowders are involved in the priming or activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome through IL-1β secretion. Cells treated with ceramics significantly increased pro-inflammatory gene expression and protein secretion which was attenuated through TLR4 blockade. Addition of ATP to cells following ceramic treatment significantly increased IL-1β secretion. Therefore, we identify the ability of ceramic metal oxides to cause a pro-inflammatory phenotype in THP-1 macrophages and propose the mechanism by which this occurs is primarily via the TLR4 pathway which contributes to inflammasome signalling.

Cytotoxic effects of submicron- and nano-scale titanium debris released from dental implants: an integrative review. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:1627-1640. [PMID: 33616805 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03785-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This integrative review aimed to report the toxic effect of submicron and nano-scale commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) debris on cells of peri-implant tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was carried out on the PubMed electronic platform using the following key terms: Ti "OR" titanium "AND" dental implants "AND" nanoparticles "OR" nano-scale debris "OR" nanometric debris "AND" osteoblasts "OR "cytotoxicity" OR "macrophage" OR "mutagenic" OR "peri-implantitis". The inclusion criteria involved articles published in the English language, until December 26, 2020, reporting the effect of nano-scale titanium particles as released from dental implants on the toxicity and damage of osteoblasts. RESULTS Of 258 articles identified, 14 articles were selected for this integrative review. Submicron and nano-scale cp Ti particles altered the behavior of cells in culture medium. An inflammatory response was triggered by macrophages, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, mesenchymal cells, and odontoblasts as indicated by the detection of several inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2. The formation of a bioactive complex composed of calcium and phosphorus on titanium nanoparticles allowed their binding to proteins leading to the cell internalization phenomenon. The nanoparticles induced mutagenic and carcinogenic effects into the cells. CONCLUSIONS The cytotoxic effect of debris released from dental implants depends on the size, concentration, and chemical composition of the particles. A high concentration of particles on nanometric scale intensifies the inflammatory responses with mutagenic potential of the surrounding cells. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Titanium ions and debris have been detected in peri-implant tissues with different size, concentration, and forms. The presence of metallic debris at peri-implant tissues also stimulates the migration of immune cells and inflammatory reactions. Cp Ti and TiO2 micro- and nano-scale particles can reach the bloodstream, accumulating in lungs, liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The major causes of failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include prosthesis loosening and infection. This study aimed to investigate the role of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) in knee arthroplasty. METHODS A total of 20 New Zealand white rabbits that were divided into two groups (10 in the control group and 10 in the chitosan group) were included in the study. They underwent TKA surgery, and all were implanted with titanium rod prostheses; the prosthesis in the chitosan group was coated with CMC. After 12 weeks, all rabbits were euthanized, and the following analyses of some specific surface membrane tissues around the prosthesis were performed: X-ray analysis; micro-computed tomography scan; haematoxylin and eosin, Van Gieson, and Von Kossa staining; reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; and Western Blotting. RESULTS The result of CCK8 test showed CMC can promote cell proliferation and increase cell viability. Radiological result showed better amount of bone deposits and more bone formation in the chitosan group. HE staining result showed CMC reduces inflammation around the prosthesis. The VG and Von Kossa staining results showed CMC can promote bone deposition around prosthesis. And according to the results of PCR and WB, the OCN content was higher in the chitosan group, while the MMPs content was lower. The chitosan group has an increased OPG/RANKL ratio than the control group. CONCLUSION CMC can effectively inhibit the inflammatory response around the prosthesis and osteoclast activation and promote osteogenesis by interfering with the osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β signalling pathway.

Abstract
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a bioactive phytochemical compound that is a constituent of dietary cruciferous vegetables, possesses promising chemopreventive and anticancer effects. However, reports of AITC exerting antitumor effects on apoptosis induction of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in vitro are not well elucidated. The present study focused on the functional mechanism of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-based apoptotic machinery induced by AITC in human colorectal cancer HT-29 cells. Our results indicated that AITC decreased cell growth and number, reduced viability, and facilitated morphological changes of apoptotic cell death. DNA analysis by flow cytometry showed G2/M phase arrest, and alterations in the modulated protein levels caused by AITC were detected via western blot analysis. AITC also triggered vital intrinsic apoptotic factors (caspase-9/caspase-3 activity), disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential, and stimulated mitochondrial-related apoptotic molecules (e.g., cytochrome c, apoptotic protease activating factor 1, apoptosis-inducing factor, and endonuclease G). Additionally, AITC prompted induced cytosolic Ca2+ release and Ca2+-dependent ER stress-related signals, such as calpain 1, activating transcription factor 6α, glucose-regulated proteins 78 and 94, growth arrest- and DNA damage-inducible protein 153 (GADD153), and caspase-4. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was found to induce the hallmark of ER stress GADD153, proapoptotic marker caspase-3, and calpain activity after AITC treatment. Our findings showed for the first time that AITC induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptotic death via ROS-based ER stress and the intrinsic pathway (mitochondrial-dependent) in HT-29 cells. Overall, AITC may exert an epigenetic effect and is a potential bioactive compound for CRC treatment.

Tumor necrosis factor primes and metal particles activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in human primary macrophages. Acta Biomater 2020; 108:347-357. [PMID: 32194260 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Aseptic loosening of total joint replacements is driven by a macrophage-mediated inflammatory reaction to implant-derived wear particles. Phagocytosis of implant debris has been suggested to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome leading to secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β. However, factors and molecular mechanisms driving the particle-induced inflammasome activation are yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the inflammasome response of human primary macrophages to titanium, chromium, and molybdenum particles in vitro. We observed that particles alone were not sufficient to induce IL-1β secretion, but an additional priming signal-such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-was required to license the inflammasome activation. By using specific inhibitors against the inflammasome signaling pathway, we demonstrate that the particle-induced IL-1β secretion depended upon activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. We further hypothesized that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) could substitute for LPS as a priming signal, and found that particle stimulation together with preceding TNF treatment resulted in inflammasome-dependent IL-1β production as well. Our results show that the NLRP3 inflammasome mediates wear particle responses in human primary macrophages, and its activation does not necessarily require the presence of bacterial components, but can be induced under aseptic conditions by TNF priming. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study was conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of metal particle-induced IL-1β secretion in human primary macrophages. Production of this pro-inflammatory mediator from wear particle-activated macrophages has been associated with increased bone loss around total joint replacements-a condition eventually requiring revision surgery. Our results confirm that together with a co-stimulatory priming signal, particles of common implant metals elicit macrophage-mediated IL-1β secretion through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. We also present a concept of TNF priming in this context, demonstrating that the particle-related IL-1β secretion can take place in a truly sterile environment. Thus, inhibition of inflammasome signaling appears a means to prevent wear particle-induced inflammation and development of peri‑prosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Background: Titanium dental implants are today widely used with osseointegration mainly dependently on the implant surface properties. Different processing routes lead to different surface characteristics resulting, of course, in different in situ behaviors of the implants. Materials: The effect of different treatments, whether mechanical or chemical, on the surface morphology of titanium implants were investigated. To this aim, various experimental methods, including roughness analysis as well scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, were applied. Results: The results showed that, in contrast to the mechanical treatments, the chemical ones gave rise to a more irregular surface. SEM observations suggested that where commercial pure titanium was used, the chemical treatments provided implant surfaces without contaminations. In contrast, sandblasted implants could cause potential risks of surface contamination because of the presence of blasting particles remnants. Conclusions: The examined implant surfaces showed different roughness levels in relation to the superficial treatment applied. The acid-etched surfaces were characterized by the presence of deeper valleys and higher peaks than the sandblasted surfaces. For this reason, acid-etched surfaces can be more easily damaged by the stress produced by the peri-implant bone during surgical implant placement.
