Project description:Tissue response following implantation determines the success of the healing process. This response is not only dependent on the chemical properties of the implant surface but also by the surface topography or its roughness. Although in vitro and in vivo studies show improved results with rough- and fluoride-modified implants, the mechanisms behind these findings are still unknown. Here, we have used a two step procedure to identify novel genes related to the early cell response of primary human osteoblasts to roughness and fluoride-modified titanium implants. 217 genes were identified by microarray analysis as response genes to roughness and 198 genes as response genes to fluoride. 11 of these identified genes have been related to bone and mineralization and were further investigated by real-time RT-PCR. After one day of culture, TLR3, ANKH, DCN, OC and RUNX2 were classified as responsive genes to roughness; DLX2 and TUFT1 as responsive genes to fluoride treatment. COLL-I, PTHLH, HES1, FST, ENPP1 and THRA as responsive genes to both, roughness and fluoride treatment. In conclusion, our strategy was useful for identifying novel genes that might be involved in the early response of osteoblasts to roughness and fluoride treatment of titanium implants.

In conclusion, our strategy was useful for identifying novel genes that might be involved in the early response of osteoblasts to roughness and fluoride treatment of titanium implants. Human osteoblasts were cultured for 24 hours on titanium disks modified either with polished surfaces (P), grit-blasted surfaces (GB), or grit-blasted High Fluor treated surfaces (GB-HF). After 24 hours of culture RNA was isolated. 3 arrays were hybridized, one with the isolated RNA from cells cultured on titanium polished surfaces (P), one with the isolated RNA from cells cultured on titanium grit-blasted surfaces (GB) and one with the isolated RNA from cells cultured on titanium grit-blasted HF treated surfaces (GB-HF).

Project description:Titanium is a common implant material. However, in some patients titanium implants fail. Macrophages are key cells involved in foreign body response. To identify macrophage response to titainum, primary human macrophages were cultured on polished titanium discs for 6 days We used microarrays to determine the global expression pattern induced by polished titanium in macrophages and identify potential genes involved in implant failure.

Project description:Background: Due to their excellent mechanical and biocompatibility properties, titanium-based implants are successfully used as biomedical devices. However, when new bone formation fails for different reasons, impaired fracture healing will become a clinical problem and will affect the patient's quality of life. This study proposes to design a new bioactive surface of titanium implants with a synergetic PEG biopolymer-based composition for gradual delivery of growth factors (FGF2, VEGF, and BMP4) during bone healing. Methods: The optimal architecture of non-cytotoxic polymeric coatings deposited by dip coating under controlled parameters was assessed both in cultured cells and on rat in vivo animal model (100% viability). Results: Notably, the titanium adsorbed polymer matrix induced an improved healing process when compared with the individual action of each biomolecules. High-performance mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that recovery after a traumatic event is governed by specific differentially regulated proteins, acting in a coordinated response to the external stimulus. Predicted protein interactions shown by STRING analysis were well organized in hub-based networks related with response to chemical, wound healing and response to stress pathways. Conclusions: The described functional polymer coatings of the titanium implants demonstrated the significant improvement of bone healing process after injury.
Project description:In order to define the underlying mechanism of fluoride resistance in mammals and provide a theoretical basis for fluorosis treatment, high-throughput sequencing was applied to map the genetic changes of fluoride-resistant mouse osteoblasts. Fluoride-tolerant MC3T3-E1 cells were developed by gradient fluoride exposure. The differentially expressed genes of fluorine-resistant MC3T3-E1 cells were identified by high-throughput sequencing. High-throughput RNA sequencing identified 2702 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed more than 2-fold difference in 30ppm FR MC3T3-E1 cells, of which 17 DEGs were associated with ferroptosis.
Project description:Aseptic loosening represents a significant factor contributing to joint replacement failure, primarily associated with diminished bone formation and heightened osteoclast-induced osteolysis. Here, a natural polymer-based injectable hydrogel that encapsulates irisin protein (referred to as I-OG hydrogel) is reported. The hierarchical cross-linked structure of the I-OG hydrogel confers favorable mechanical properties, desirable self-healing ability, and acceptable injectability and, more importantly, sustains continuous release of the protein at the interface between the bone and implant prosthesis. The I-OG hydrogel effectively fills the gap between the titanium pin and bone tissue, successfully inhibiting aseptic loosening induced by titanium particles, which outcome confirms the occurrence of irisin protein's slow-release process and its inhibitory effect on osteolysis. Mechanistically, our in vitro experiments demonstrated that irisin released from the I-OG hydrogel upregulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) through integrin αV, while concurrently downregulating the NF-κB (P65) signaling pathway in osteoblasts. These molecular events ultimately promote osteogenic differentiation and inhibit osteoclast activation. Collectively, our findings establish that the I-OG hydrogel effectively counteracts aseptic loosening by resisting osteolysis caused by titanium particles and enhancing periprosthetic bone formation, and offers promising prospects for the treatment of aseptic loosening in prosthetic implants.
Project description:In this study the gene expression differences between three titanium surfaces produced by Straumann were investigated. These three surfaces were: flat pre-treated (Pt) titanium, sandblasted (S) titanium and sandblasted acid-etched (SLA) titanium. The SLA surface is known to boost the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MG-63 cells. SLA titanium is also widely used for dental implants.
Project description:To determine the early temporal wide genome transcription regulation by the surface topography at the bone-implant interface of implants bearing micro-roughened or superimposed nanosurface topology. Fourty four cp titanium implants with surface topographies exhibiting nanoscale features (Osseospeed-OS) and microrough surface without nanoscale features (TiOblast-TiO) were placed in the alveolar bone of 11 systemically healthy subjects and subsequently harvested at 3 and 7 days after placement. Total RNA was isolated from cells adherent to retrieved implants. A whole genome microarray using the Affymetrix Human gene 1.1 ST Array was used to describe the gene expression profiles that were differentially regulated by the implant surfaces.
Project description:Considering that PRF is clinically used in combination with dental implants and collagen membranes, we exposed titanium discs and collagen membranes to PRF lysates. We showed here that PRF-derived TGF-β activity adsorbs to titanium implants and collagen membranes indicated by the changes in gene expression and immunoassay analysis. Our study points towards TGF-β as major target of PRF and suggest that TGF-β activity released by PRF adsorbs to titanium surface and collagen membranes.
