Interleukin-6 expression by osteoblast-like MG63 cells challenged with four acrylic bone cements

Abstract: Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major clinical problem in total hip and total knee arthroplasty and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a possible etiologic factor. Recently, increasing importance was ascribed to interleukin-6 (IL-6) as an agent favouring bone resorption. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of bone cements on IL-6 production by MG63. The effect of four acrylic bone cements (Sulfix-60, CMW 1, CMW 2, and CMW 3) on the protein release and mRNA expression of IL-6 in osteoblast-lik… Show more

“…In addition to this, the fact that MG63 cells display low levels of RANKL expression, strongly suggests that intracellular mechanisms other than those activated by RANKL/RANK interaction might be involved in the osteoclastogenic response induced by conditioned media from MG63 cell cultures. In that context, it is important to note that tumour cells have the ability to produce many osteoclastogenic factors, in addition to M-CSF and RANKL, namely, parathyroid hormone-related peptide, IL-1, IL-6, IL-11, TNF-a and VEGF [51][52][53]. The characterization of the composition of MG63 conditioned medium in respect to relevant molecules is underway.…”

“…However, long‐term stability and material‐mediated cytotoxicity pose serious implications for usage. For example, osteolysis has been attributed to wear debris from a variety of orthopedic materials 51–56, 67–70. There are many in vitro studies found in the literature that suggest that UHMWPE is oxidatively unstable in certain environments 48, 58, 59, 71–76.…”

“…Despite ∼1.4 million total joint replacements performed annually,49 a shortcoming of UHMWPE is limited implant longevity due to wear of the acetabular liners 50. Wear debris has been directly linked to osteolysis,50–55 which is triggered by ˙ OH inflammation 56. A graver dilemma associated with UHMWPE is gamma (γ)‐sterilization, which is typically performed on medical devices that cannot be sanitized by boiling 57.…”
