Wear particles from total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) induce chronic inflammation, macrophage infiltration and lead to bone loss by promoting bone destruction and inhibiting bone formation. Inhibition of particle-associated chronic inflammation and the associated bone loss is critical to the success and survivorship of TJAs. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that polyethylene particle induced chronic inflammatory bone loss could be suppressed by local injection of NF-κB sensing Interleukin-4 (IL-4) over-expressing MSCs using the murine continuous polyethylene particle infusion model. The animal model was generated with continuous infusion of polyethylene particles into the intramedullary space of the femur for 6 weeks. Cells were locally injected into the intramedullary space 3 weeks after the primary surgery. Femurs were collected 6 weeks after the primary surgery. Micro-computational tomography (μCT), histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses were performed. Particle-infusion resulted in a prolonged pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage dominated phenotype and a decrease of the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype, an increase in TRAP positive osteoclasts, and lower alkaline phosphatase staining area and bone mineral density, indicating chronic particle-associated inflammatory bone loss. Local injection of MSCs or NF-κB sensing IL-4 over-expressing MSCs reversed the particle-associated chronic inflammatory bone loss and facilitated bone healing. These results demonstrated that local inflammatory bone loss can be effectively modulated via MSC-based treatments, which could be an efficacious therapeutic strategy for periprosthetic osteolysis.

Anti Inflammatory

Chronic inflammation is a common feature in many diseases of different organ systems, including bone. However, there are few interventions to mitigate chronic inflammation and preserve host tissue. Previous in vitro studies demonstrated that preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (pMSCs) using lipopolysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor-α polarized macrophages from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype and increased osteogenesis compared to unaltered MSCs. In the current study, we investigated the local injection of MSCs or pMSCs during the acute versus chronic inflammatory phase in a murine model of inflammation of bone: the continuous femoral intramedullary polyethylene particle infusion model. Chronic inflammation due to contaminated polyethylene particles decreased bone mineral density and increased osteoclast-like cells positively stained with leukocyte tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, and resulted in a sustained M1 pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype and a decreased M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype. Local injection of MSCs or pMSCs during the chronic inflammatory phase reversed these findings. Conversely, immediate local injection of pMSCs during the acute inflammatory phase impaired bone healing, probably by mitigating the mandatory acute inflammatory reaction. These results suggest that the timing of interventions to facilitate bone healing by modulating inflammation is critical to the outcome. Interventions to facilitate bone healing by modulating acute inflammation should be prudently applied, as this phase of bone healing is temporally sensitive. Alternatively, local injection of MSCs or pMSCs during the chronic inflammatory phase may be a potential intervention to mitigate the adverse effects of contaminated particles on bone.

Toxic Responses

Introduction. Experimental induction of altered histology by chemical toxins is of particular importance if its outcome resembles histopathological phenomena. Hepatotoxic drugs and chemicals are agents that can be converted by the liver into various metabolites which consequently evoke toxic responses. Very often, these drugs are intentionally administered to resolve an illness unrelated to liver function. Because of hepatic detoxification, the resulting metabolites are suggested to be integrated into the macromolecular processes of liver function and cause an array of cellular and tissue alterations, such as increased cytoplasmic lysis, centrilobular and localized necroses, chronic inflammation and “foam cell” proliferation of the hepatic sinusoids (1-4).Most experimentally drug-induced toxicity studies have concentrated primarily on the hepatic response, frequently overlooking other physiological phenomena which are directly related to liver function. Categorically, many studies have been short-term effect investigations which seldom have followed up the complications to other tissues and organs when the liver has failed to function normally.

Abstract The role of inflammation in all phases of atherosclerotic process is well established and soluble TREM-like transcript 1 (sTLT1) is reported to be associated with chronic inflammation. Yet, no information is available about the involvement of sTLT1 in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Present study was undertaken to determine the pathophysiological significance of sTLT1 in atherosclerosis by employing an observational study on human subjects (n=117) followed by experiments in human macrophages and atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E (apoE)−/− mice. Plasma level of sTLT1 was found to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in clinical (2342 ± 184 pg/ml) and subclinical cases (1773 ± 118 pg/ml) than healthy controls (461 ± 57 pg/ml). Moreover, statistical analyses further indicated that sTLT1 was not only associated with common risk factors for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in both clinical and subclinical groups but also strongly correlated with disease severity. Ex vivo studies on macrophages showed that sTLT1 interacts with Fcɣ receptor I (FcɣRI) to activate spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-mediated downstream MAP kinase signalling cascade to activate nuclear factor-κ B (NF-kB). Activation of NF-kB induces secretion of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) from macrophage cells that plays pivotal role in governing the persistence of chronic inflammation. Atherosclerotic apoE−/− mice also showed high levels of sTLT1 and TNF-α in nearly occluded aortic stage indicating the contribution of sTLT1 in inflammation. Our results clearly demonstrate that sTLT1 is clinically related to the risk factors of CAD. We also showed that binding of sTLT1 with macrophage membrane receptor, FcɣR1 initiates inflammatory signals in macrophages suggesting its critical role in thrombus development and atherosclerosis.

SummaryTissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) was purified from maxillary mucosa with chronic inflammation and compared with urokinase. Purification procedure consisted of the extraction from delipidated mucosa with 0.3M potassium acetate buffer (pH 4.2), 66% saturation of ammonium sulfate, zinc chelate-Sepharose, concanavalin A-Sepharose and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatographies.The molecular weight of the TPA was approximately 58,000 ± 3,000. Its activity was enhanced in the presence of fibrin and was quenched by placental urokinase inhibitor, but not quenched by anti-urokinase antibody. The TPA made no precipitin line against anti-urokinase antibody, while urokinase did.All these findings indicate that the TPA in maxillary mucosa with chronic inflammation is immunologically dissimilar to urokinase and in its affinity for fibrin.
