| Abstract | |
The biological reaction to wear debris is critical to the osteolysis underlying aseptic loosening of prosthetic implants Therefore was the aim of this study was to evaluate the involvement of Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 in the recognition of titanium and zirconia particles. Measured in cultured murine macrophages challenged with particles of zirconia or titanium by comparing the expression of TLRs, their intracellular adaptors and the proinflammatory cytokines. Particle-induced osteolysis was evaluated in mice calvaria model, whereas the inflammatory responses through induction of hind paw edema and hyperalgesia. The particles are readily phagocytized by macrophages in culture and result in increased expression of mRNA for TLRs 2, 3, 4 and 9, its adaptors MyD88 and NF-kB, TNF-?, IL- 1? and IL-6 . However, the pattern of mRNA expression TLRs is distinct for the particles, while the zirconia induces a significant increase in expression of TLR2; titanium modulates the expression significantly greater TLR3, TLR9 and TL4, respectively. However, the mRNA for the adaptor molecule MyD88 involved in intracellular signaling of TLR is stimulated in both particles and with a similar kinetic. The transcription factor NF-kB is needed to carry the gene expression of cytokines involved in the inflammatory response has a different kinetics expression between the particles, whereas zirconia induces the expression with the maximum after two hours of incubation, the titanium particles induce an exponential increase. The mRNA expression of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-?, IL- 1? and IL-6 induced by the particles of zirconia is significantly lower compared with the particles of titanium. However, the protein expression of TNF-? is greater in cultured xi macrophages exposed to the particles of zirconia, while the titanium particles to induce protein expression of inflammatory cytokine IL-6. Both the particles induce osteolysis in the calvaria model however; the induced osteolysis by zirconia as well as the bone loss was significantly lower compared with titanium particles. So although both particles induce edema and hyperalgesia in animal models, titanium particles induced greater sense of hyperalgesia. Based on our results, we suggest that the biocompatibility of the zirconia is greater in comparison with the titanium and the loss is modulated by aseptic recognition mediated by TLRs which activate the intracellular signaling pathways as transcription factors NF-kB and leads to expression of inflammatory cytokines (AU) | |
