AI Article Synopsis

  • Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) and aseptic loosening (AL) are major causes of failure in artificial joint replacements, primarily caused by wear particles leading to inflammation and bone resorption imbalance.
  • The process of pyroptosis, a type of regulated cell death, is significantly involved in PPO, particularly through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and gasdermins like GSDMD.
  • This review explores the molecular mechanisms behind PPO and pyroptosis, suggesting potential interventions to reduce inflammation and offers new strategies for treatment.

Article Abstract

Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) along with aseptic loosening (AL) caused by wear particles after artificial joint replacement is the key factor in surgical failure and subsequent revision surgery, however, the precise molecular mechanism underlying PPO remains unclear. Aseptic inflammation triggered by metal particles, resulting in the imbalance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts may be the decisive factor. Pyroptosis is a new pro-inflammatory pattern of regulated cell death (RCD), mainly mediated by gasdermins (GSDMs) family, among which GSDMD is the best characterized. Recent evidence indicates that activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and pyroptosis play a pivotal role in the pathological process of PPO. Here, we review the pathological process of PPO, the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis and the interventions to inhibit the inflammation and pyroptosis of different cells during the PPO. Conclusively, this review provides theoretical support for the search for new strategies and new targets for the treatment of PPO by inhibiting pyroptosis and inflammation.

The development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening of prostheses stands as a critical area of global research interest. The pyroptosis of local macrophages triggered by wear particles plays a pivotal role in the onset of periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent loosening. Extracellular vesicles, carrying the surface components and regulatory molecules of their parent cells, embody the cellular characteristics and biological functions of these progenitors.

Background: Periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening are the leading causes of failure following total joint arthroplasty. Osteogenic impairment induced by wear particles is regarded as a crucial contributing factor in the development of osteolysis, with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress identified as a key underlying mechanism. Therefore, identifying potential therapeutic targets and agents that can regulate ER stress adaption in osteoblasts is necessary for arresting aseptic loosening.

Peri-prosthesis osteolysis (PPO) represents the most severe complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery and imposes the primary cause of prosthesis failure and subsequent revision surgery. Antiresorptive therapies are usually prescribed to treat PPO, especially for elderly people. Nevertheless, the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic medications remains constrained.

Purpose: The polarization of macrophages towards the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and osteoclast overactivation play a significant role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants. This study sought to examine the expression and activation of macrophages and osteoclasts in implant biopsies with respect to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and to assess the potential of EGFR inhibition in mitigating titanium particle-induced bone resorption in a cranial resorption murine model.

Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) initially.
