Surface modification of titanium manufactured through selective laser melting inhibited osteoclast differentiation through mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway

Abstract

<jats:p> Selective laser melting used in manufacturing custom-made titanium implants becomes more popular. In view of the important role played by osteoclasts in peri-implant bone resorption and osseointegration, we modified selective laser melting-manufactured titanium surfaces using sandblasting/alkali-heating and sandblasting/acid-etching, and investigated their effect on osteoclast differentiation as well as their underlying mechanisms. The properties of the surfaces, including elements, roughness, wettability and topography, were analyzed. We evaluated the proliferation and morphology of primary mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes, as well as induced osteoclasts derived from bone marrow-derived monocytes, on samples. Then, osteoclast differentiation was determined by the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity assay, calcitonin receptors immunofluorescence staining and the expression of osteoclast-related genes. The results showed that sandblasting/alkali-heating established nanonet structure with the lowest water contact angle, and both sandblasting/alkali-heating and sandblasting/acid-etching significantly decreased surface roughness and heterogeneity compared with selective laser melting. Surface modifications of selective laser melting-produced titanium altered bone marrow-derived monocyte morphology and suppressed bone marrow-derived monocyte proliferation and osteoclastogenesis in vitro (sandblasting/alkali-heating&gt;sandblasting/acid-etching&gt;selective laser melting). These surface modifications reduced the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinases compared to native-selective laser melting. Sandblasting/alkali-heating additionally blocked tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 recruitment. The results suggested that sandblasting/alkali-heating and sandblasting/acid-etching modifications on selective laser melting titanium could inhibit osteoclast differentiation through suppressing extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation in mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and provide a promising technique which might reduce peri-implant bone resorption for optimizing native-selective laser melting implants. </jats:p>

Different Cell and Tissue Behavior of Micro-/Nano-Tubes and Micro-/Nano-Nets Topographies on Selective Laser Melting Titanium to Enhance Osseointegration

“…Furthermore, our previous study reported that TNNs could inhibit osteoclast differentiation through the MAPK signaling pathway. 59 Therefore, TNN substrates could play a stronger role in inhibiting osteoclastogenesis than TNT substrates.…”

Powder‐Based Additive Manufacturing: A Critical Review of Materials, Methods, Opportunities, and Challenges

“…It is pointed out that SLM 316 L stainless steel prepared under high laser power conditions has good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, while the SLM 316 L stainless steel prepared under low power conditions is poor and unstable. In 2020, Jiamin Yang et al [ 95 ] studied the differentiation of custom titanium implants with SLM on cell proliferation. The results show that powder‐based materials with more elements can be developed and used increasing the range of materials used for SLM.…”

Osseointegration—the biological reality of successful dental implant therapy: a narrative review

“…This was indicated by cell culture studies of bone marrow-derived monocyte differentiation on implant surfaces cultured with osteoprogenitor cells. The rough surface provided local cues to adherent osteoprogenitors to direct osteoclast production (40,41). There are multimodal effects of enhanced surface topography that positively affect the accrual of bone at the titanium dental implant surface.…”
