Abstract
En 中文
Implants and medical devices are efficient and practical therapeutic solutions for a multitude of pathologies. Titanium and titanium alloys are used in orthopedics, dentistry, and cardiology. Despite very good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, titanium implants can fail due to inflammatory or tissue degradation-related complications. Macrophages are major immune cells that control acceptance of failure of the implant. In this study, for the first time, we have performed a systematic analysis of the response of differentially activated human macrophages, M(Control), M(IFN gamma), and M(IL-4), to the polished and porous titanium surfaces in order to identify the detrimental effect of titanium leading to the tissue destruction and chronic inflammation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the highest number of differences between titanium and control settings are found in M(IL-4) that model healing type of macrophages. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed that both polished and porous titanium affected expression of cytokines, chitinases/chitinase-like proteins, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Titanium-induced release and activation of MMP7 by macrophages was enhanced by fibroblasts in both juxtacrine and paracrine cell interaction models. Production of titanium-induced MMPs and cytokines associated with chronic inflammation was independent of the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. MMP7, one of the most pronounced tissue-destroying factors, and chitinase-like protein YKL-40 were expressed in CD68+ macrophages in peri-implant tissues of patients with orthopedic implants. In summary, we demonstrated that titanium induces proinflammatory and tissue-destructing responses mainly in healing macrophages, and the detrimental effects of titanium surfaces on implant-adjacent macrophages are independent on the bacterial contamination. The widely used implant material titanium programs human macrophages for inflammation and tissue destruction that explains the implant failure at the later stages of implantation.
