Electron microscopic study on bone formation and bioresorption after implantation of β-tricalcium phosphate in rabbit models
Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:22:27 -0000
Abstract Background The role of bone formation and bioresorption in an early stage after implantation of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). Methods The ceramic β-TCP cylinders were implanted into cavities drilled in the femoral condyles of eight NZW rabbits. Four of the rabbits were sacrificed at 2 weeks and four at 4 weeks after implantation, respectively. The femoral condyles were excised to prepare the specimens for SEM and TEM. Results SEM showed giant cells of more than 20 μm in diameter were observed on the surface of β-TCP at 2 weeks after implantation. TEM demonstrated that collagen fibrils secreted from the monocytic cells invaded β-TCP micropores at 2 weeks. Multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) were in contact with the surface of β-TCP at 2 weeks. Some of them had a ruffled border (RB) at the cell-substrate interface, characteristic of osteoclasts. Conclusions These findings suggest that cell-mediated disintegration by osteoclasts played a role in the bioresorption of β-TCP at an early stage after implantation. In addition, the micropores of β-TCP ceramic may provide an environment for collagen formation, leading to the deposition of apatite crystals. Therefore, the micropores facilitate bone ingrowth as well as ceramic resorption.

Intermittent administration of human parathyroid hormone (1–34) increases new bone formation on the interface of hydroxyapatitecoated titanium rods implanted into ovariectomized rat femora
Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:22:26 -0000
Abstract Background As hydroxyapatite (HA) has good osteoconductive properties, HA is used as coating material for the implants in cementless arthroplasty. However, its effect is not sufficient for osteoporotic bone. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is known to have anabolic effects on bone formation. Intermittent administration of PTH increases both cancellous and cortical bone mass. The aim of this study was to confirm the effect of the fixation strength of HA-coated implants in the osteoporotic condition with a mechanical test and a bone histomorphometric method. Methods Female Sprague-Dawley rats were used for this study. Four weeks after ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery, HA-coated titanium rods were inserted into the distal femoral canal (Sham+HA group and OVX+HA group). PTH was administered immediately after the implantation of the HAcoated rods (OVX+HA+P group). We measured the shear strength at the bone-implant interface by a push-out test and the newly formed bone volume on the implant (BV.Im) by bone histomorphometry at 2 and 4 weeks after implantation. Results The bone-implant shear strength in the OVX+HA group was significantly lower than that in the Sham+HA group at 2 weeks after implantation of the rods. In the OVX+HA+P group, the strength was significantly higher than that in the other groups. Similarly, at 4 weeks, statistically significant differences were confirmed in the bone-implant shear strength among the Sham+HA group, the OVX+HA group, and the OVX+HA+P group. BV.Im in the OVX+HA group was significantly lower than that in the Sham+HA group at 2 weeks after implantation. BV.Im was significantly higher in the OVX+HA+P group than that in the OVX+HA group. However, there was no difference in BV.Im between the Sham+HA group and the OVX+HA+P group. At 4 weeks after implantation, BV.Im was significantly lower in the OVX+HA group than that in the other groups, but no difference was found between the Sham+HA group and the OVX+HA+P group. Conclusions Intermittent administration of PTH has an effect to increase new bone formation on the surface of HA-coated implants in the osteoporotic condition. This finding suggests that PTH administration is useful to improve the initial fixation of HA-coated implants even in osteoporotic patients.

RGD peptide-induced cell death of chondrocytes and synovial cells
Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:22:25 -0000
Abstract Background Small peptides including the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif have been used in studies on cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) attachment due to their ability to disturb integrin-mediated attachment on the cell surface. As another biological action of RGD peptides, several reports have shown that RGD peptides are incorporated into cytoplasm and induce apoptosis by direct activation of caspase-3. This study evaluated the effect of RGD peptides on chondrocytes and synovial cells and studied the involvement of caspases. Methods Chondrocytes and synovial cells were isolated and cultured from the knee joints of New Zealand White rabbits. Cells were incubated in serum-free medium with peptides (RGD, RGDS, GRGDSP, GRGDNP, RGES), and the survival rates were evaluated. The rate of apoptotic cells was measured by flow cytometry in cells treated with RGDS, GRGDSP, and RGES. Caspase-3, -8 and -9 activity was measured in cells treated with RGDS and GRGDSP. Osteochondral explants harvested from rabbits were also incubated with RGD peptides (RGDS, GRGDSP, and GRGDNP), and the survival rate of chondrocytes was evaluated. Results The survival rate of cultured chondrocytes was significantly decreased in the GRGDSP- and GRGDNP-treated groups. The survival rate of synovial cells was significantly decreased with four of the RGD peptides (RGD, RGDS, GRGDSP, and GRGDNP) at 5 mM, and in the RGDS- and GRGDSP-treated groups at 1 mM. Flow cytometric assay revealed increases of apoptotic chondrocytes with GRGDSP and increases of apoptotic synovial cells with RGDS and GRGDSP. Caspase-3 was activated in chondrocytes treated with GRGDSP and it was also activated in synovial cells treated with RGDS and GRGDSP. Caspases-8 and -9 were not activated in chondrocytes or in synovial cells. The survival rate of chondrocytes in explants decreased in the superficial layer with all three RGD peptides (RGDS, GRGDSP, and GRGDNP) and in the middle layer with GRGDSP. Conclusions RGD peptides induced apoptosis in cultured chondrocytes as well as in cells in cartilage explants and synovial cells, presumably through direct activation of caspase-3.
