Abstract:Focal bone resorption (osteolysis) induced by wear particles contributes to long-term orthopedic joint failure. However, the impact of focal osteolysis on remote skeletal sites has received less attention. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of polyethylene particles placed over calvaria on representative axial and appendicular skeletal sites in female mice. Because recent work has identified housing temperature as an important biological variable in mice, response to particle treatment was mea… Show more
“…Therefore, the similarity of response to particle-induced osteolysis in ob/ob mice housed at room and thermoneutral temperature argues against higher sympathetic tone in WT mice as being an important factor in particle-induced osteolysis. We have confirmed this conclusion by performing additional temperature studies in which osteolysis did not differ between WT mice housed at 22 °C or 32 °C 56 .…”
Particles generated from wear of prosthesis joint bearing surfaces induce inflammation-mediated periprosthetic bone resorption (osteolysis). Morbidly obese leptin-deficient ob/ob mice are resistant to polyethylene particle-induced bone loss, suggesting that leptin, a hormone produced by adipocytes that circulates in concentrations proportional to total body adiposity, increases osteolysis. To confirm that particles induce less osteolysis in leptin-deficient mice after controlling for cold stress (room temperature)-induced bone loss, ob/ob mice on a C57BL/6 (B6) background and colony B6 wildtype (WT) mice housed at thermoneutral temperature were randomized to control or particle treatment groups (N = 5/group). Polyethylene particles were implanted over calvaria and mice sacrificed 2 weeks later. Compared to particle-treated WT mice, particle-treated ob/ob mice had lower osteolysis score, less infiltration of immune cells, and less woven bone formation. To determine the role of leptin in particle-induced osteolysis, ob/ob mice were randomized into one of 4 groups (n = 6–8/group): (1) control, (2) particles, (3) particles + continuous leptin (osmotic pump, 6 μg/d), or (4) particles + intermittent leptin (daily injection, 40 μg/d). Leptin treatment increased particle-induced osteolysis in ob/ob mice, providing evidence that the adpiokine may play a role in inflammation-driven bone loss. Additional research is required to determine whether altering leptin levels within the physiological range results in corresponding changes in polyethylene-particle-induced osteolysis.

“…Female mice housed at thermoneutral have higher BMAT and cancellous bone mass than female mice housed at room temperature but antagonizing accrual of BMAT by treatment with the nonspecific β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol had minimal effect on bone mass, microarchitecture and turnover ( 31 ). Additionally, in spite of differences in BMAT, inflammation-induced bone loss was similar in distal femur metaphysis of female mice housed at room temperature and at thermoneutral ( 46 ).…”

“…Thermoneutral housing alters many, but not all, metabolic responses ( 67 – 70 ). Regarding bone, compared to room temperature, thermoneutral housing prevents premature cancellous bone loss, attenuates risperidone-induced trabecular bone loss, has modest effects on cortical response to mechanical loading, and does not impact polyethylene-particle induced osteolysis ( 46 , 71 , 72 ). We have shown that increasing environmental temperature from room temperature to thermoneutral impacts gene expression in WAT and bone ( 65 ).…”
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) levels are higher in distal femur metaphysis of female mice housed at thermoneutral (32°C) than in mice housed at 22°C, as are abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) mass, and serum leptin levels. We performed two experiments to explore the role of increased leptin in temperature-enhanced accrual of BMAT. First, we supplemented 6-week-old female C57BL/6J (B6) mice with leptin for 2 weeks at 10 µg/d using a subcutaneously implanted osmotic pump. Controls consisted of ad libitum (ad lib) fed mice and mice pair fed to match food intake of leptin-supplemented mice. The mice were maintained at 32°C for the duration of treatment. At necropsy, serum leptin in leptin-supplemented mice did not differ from ad lib mice, suggesting suppression of endogenous leptin production. In support, Ucp1 expression in BAT, percent body fat, and abdominal WAT mass were lower in leptin-supplemented mice. Leptin-supplemented mice also had lower BMAT and higher bone formation in distal femur metaphysis compared to the ad lib group, changes not replicated by pair-feeding. In the second experiment, BMAT response was evaluated in 6-week-old female B6 wild type (WT), leptin-deficient ob/ob and leptin-treated (0.3 μg/d) ob/ob mice housed at 32°C for the 2-week duration of the treatment. Compared to mice sacrificed at baseline (22°C), BMAT increased in ob/ob mice as well as WT mice, indicating a leptin independent response to increased temperature. However, infusion of ob/ob mice with leptin, at a dose rate having negligible effects on either energy metabolism or serum leptin levels, attenuated the increase in BMAT. In summary, increased housing temperature and increased leptin have independent but opposing effects on BMAT in mice.
“…In an animal model, it has been seen that autophagy-mediated osteoblast apoptosis promotes osteolysis in vitro and in vivo (2,154,156). Osteoblast exposure to wear particles impairs mineralization by reducing the gene of ALP, runx 2, osterix, and late osteogenic markers such as osteocalcin (157) and impairs the capacity to synthesize type I collagen, the particle-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation by WNT/b-catenin and BMP/Smad signaling pathways, and the imbalance between osteoblastic MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) (158). This imbalance could result in limited osseointegration and consequently the loosening of the implant (158).…”

Classically, particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis at the implant–bone interface has explained the aseptic loosening of joint replacement. This response is preceded by triggering both the innate and acquired immune response with subsequent activation of osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing cells. Although particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis has been considered a foreign body chronic inflammation mediated by myelomonocytic-derived cells, current reports describe wide heterogeneous inflammatory cells infiltrating the periprosthetic tissues. This review aims to discuss the role of those non-myelomonocytic cells in periprosthetic tissues exposed to wear particles by showing original data. Specifically, we discuss the role of T cells (CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+) and B cells (CD20+) coexisting with CD68+/TRAP− multinucleated giant cells associated with both polyethylene and metallic particles infiltrating retrieved periprosthetic membranes. This review contributes valuable insight to support the complex cell and molecular mechanisms behind the aseptic loosening theories of orthopedic implants.
