Effect of Blood Component Coatings of Enosseal Implants on Proliferation and Synthetic Activity of Human Osteoblasts and Cytokine Production of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells.

ABSTRACT: The study monitored in vitro early response of connective tissue cells and immunocompetent cells to enosseal implant materials coated by different blood components (serum, activated plasma, and plasma/platelets) to evaluate human osteoblast proliferation and synthetic activity and inflammatory response presented as a cytokine profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) under conditions imitating the situation upon implantation. The cells were cultivated on coated Ti-plasma-sprayed (Ti-PS), Ti-etched (Ti-Etch), Ti-hydroxyapatite (Ti-HA), and ZrO2 surfaces. The plasma/platelets coating supported osteoblast proliferation only on osteoconductive Ti-HA and Ti-Etch whereas activated plasma enhanced proliferation on all surfaces. Differentiation (BAP) and IL-8 production remained unchanged or decreased irrespective of the coating and surface; only the serum and plasma/platelets-coated ZrO2 exhibited higher BAP and IL-8 expression. RANKL production increased on serum and activated plasma coatings. PBMCs produced especially cytokines playing role in inflammatory phase of wound healing, that is, IL-6, GRO-α, GRO, ENA-78, IL-8, GM-CSF, EGF, and MCP-1. Cytokine profiles were comparable for all tested surfaces; only ENA-78, IL-8, GM-CSF, and MCP-1 expression depended on materials and coatings. The activated plasma coating led to uniformed surfaces and represented a favorable treatment especially for bioinert Ti-PS and ZrO2 whereas all coatings had no distinctive effect on bioactive Ti-HA and Ti-Etch.

Project description:Inflammatory reactions associated with osteolysis and aseptic loosening are the result of wear particles generated at the articulating surfaces of implant components. The aim of the present study was to analyze the biological response of human osteoblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after exposure to metallic and alumina ceramic particles regarding cellular differentiation, cytokine release, and monocyte migration. Cells were exposed to particles (0.01 and 0.05?mg/ml) from an alumina matrix composite (AMC) ceramic and a CoCr28Mo6 alloy with an average size of 0.5?µm over 48 and 96?h. The expression rates of osteogenic (Col1A1, ALP) and pro-osteoclastic (RANK, Trap5b) differentiation markers as well as pro-osteolytic mediators (MMP-1, TIMP-1, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1) were determined and soluble protein concentrations of active MMP-1, IL-6, IL-8, and pro-collagen type 1 in cell culture supernatants were evaluated. Additionally, the capacity of particle-treated osteoblasts to attract potentially pro-inflammatory cells to the site of particle exposure was investigated by migration assays using osteoblast-conditioned media. The cellular morphology and metabolism of human osteoblasts and adherent PBMCs were influenced by particle type and concentration. In human osteoblasts, Col1A1 expression rates and protein production were significantly reduced after exposing cells to the lower concentration of cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and AMC particles. Exposure to AMC particles (0.01?mg/ml) resulted in increased mRNA levels of RANK and Trap5b in adherent PBMCs. For MMP-1 gene expression, elevated levels were more prominent after incubation with CoCr compared to AMC particles in osteoblasts, which was not reflected by the protein data. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 mRNA and protein were induced in both cell types after treatment with AMC particles, whereas exposure to CoCr particles resulted in significantly upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 protein contents in PBMCs only. Exposure of osteoblasts to CoCr particles reduced the chemoattractant potential of osteoblast-conditioned medium. Our results demonstrate distinct effects of AMC and CoCr particles in human osteoblasts and PBMCs. Complex cell and animal models are required to further evaluate the impact of cellular interactions between different cell types during particle exposure.

Project description:BackgroundTrypanosoma cruzi ribosomal P proteins, P2? and P0, induce high levels of antibodies in patients with chronic Chagas' disease Cardiomyopathy (CCC). It is well known that these antibodies alter the beating rate of cardiomyocytes and provoke apoptosis by their interaction with ?1-adrenergic and M2-muscarinic cardiac receptors. Based on these findings, we decided to study the cellular immune response to these proteins in CCC patients compared to non-infected individuals.Methodology/principal findingsWe evaluated proliferation, presence of surface activation markers and cytokine production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with P2?, the C-terminal portion of P0 (CP0) proteins and T. cruzi lysate from CCC patients predominantly infected with TcVI lineage. PBMC from CCC patients cultured with P2? or CP0 proteins, failed to proliferate and express CD25 and HLA-DR on T cell populations. However, multiplex cytokine assays showed that these antigens triggered higher secretion of IL-10, TNF-? and GM-CSF by PBMC as well as both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subsets of CCC subjects. Upon T. cruzi lysate stimulation, PBMC from CCC patients not only proliferated but also became activated within the context of Th1 response. Interestingly, T. cruzi lysate was also able to induce the secretion of GM-CSF by CD4+ or CD8+ T cells.Conclusions/significanceOur results showed that although the lack of PBMC proliferation in CCC patients in response to ribosomal P proteins, the detection of IL-10, TNF-? and GM-CSF suggests that specific T cells could have both immunoregulatory and pro-inflammatory potential, which might modulate the immune response in Chagas' disease. Furthermore, it was possible to demonstrate for the first time that GM-CSF was produced by PBMC of CCC patients in response not only to recombinant ribosomal P proteins but also to parasite lysate, suggesting the value of this cytokine to evaluate T cells responses in T. cruzi infection.

Project description:Background:Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used in many commercial products due to their excellent antibacterial ability. The AgNPs are released into the environment, gradually accumulate in the ocean, and may affect animals at high trophic levels, such as cetaceans and humans, via the food chain. Hence, the negative health impacts caused by AgNPs in cetaceans are of concern. Cytokines play a major role in the modulation of immune system and can be classified into two types: Th1 and Th2. Th1/Th2 balance can be evaluated by the ratios of their polarizing cytokines (i.e., interferon [IFN]-?/Interleukin [IL]-4), and animals with imbalanced Th1/Th2 response may become more susceptible to certain kinds of infection. Therefore, the present study evaluated the in vitro cytokine responses of cetacean peripheral blood mononuclear cells (cPBMCs) to 20 nm citrate-AgNPs (C-AgNP20) by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Methods:Blood samples were collected from six captive common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). The cPBMCs were isolated and utilized for evaluating the in vitro cytokine responses. The cytokines evaluated included IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, interferon (IFN)-?, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?. The geometric means of two housekeeping genes (HKGs), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and ?2-microglobulin (B2M), of each sample were determined and used to normalize the mRNA expression levels of target genes. Results:The ratio of late apoptotic/necrotic cells of cPBMCs significantly increased with or without concanavalin A (ConA) stimulation after 24 h of 10 µg/ml C-AgNP20 treatment. At 4 h of culture, the mRNA expression level of IL-10 was significantly decreased with 1 µg/ml C-AgNP20 treatment. At 24 h of culture with 1 µg/ml C-AgNP20, the mRNA expression levels of all cytokines were significantly decreased, with the exceptions of IL-4 and IL-10. The IFN-?/IL-4 ratio was significantly decreased at 24 h of culture with 1 µg/ml C-AgNP20 treatment, and the IL-12/IL-4 ratio was significantly decreased at 4 or 24 h of culture with 0.1 or 1 µg/ml C-AgNP20 treatment, respectively. Furthermore, the mRNA expression level of TNF-? was significantly decreased by 1 µg/ml C-AgNP20 after 24 h of culture. Discussion:The present study demonstrated that the sublethal dose of C-AgNP20 (?1 µg/ml) had an inhibitory effect on the cytokine mRNA expression levels of cPBMCs with the evidence of Th2 cytokine bias and significantly decreased the mRNA expression level of TNF-?. Th2 cytokine bias is associated with enhanced immunity against parasites but decreased immunity to intracellular microorganisms. TNF-? is a contributing factor for the inflammatory response against the infection of intracellular pathogens. In summary, our data indicate that C-AgNP20 suppresses the cellular immune response and thereby increases the susceptibility of cetaceans to infection by intracellular microorganisms.
