The aim of this in vitro pilot study was to analyse the adhesion behaviour of human osteoblasts and fibroblasts on polyether ether ketone (PEEK) when compared with titanium surfaces in an inflammatory environment under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) incubation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of primary human osteoblasts/fibroblasts on titanium/PEEK samples were created. The gene expression of the LPS-binding protein (LBP) and the LPS receptor (toll-like receptor 4; TLR4) was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunocytochemistry was used to obtain evidence for the distribution of LBP/TLR4 at the protein level of the extra-cellular-matrix-binding protein vinculin and the actin cytoskeleton. SEM images revealed that the osteoblasts and fibroblasts on the PEEK surfaces had adhesion characteristics comparable to those of titanium. The osteoblasts contracted under LPS incubation and a significantly increased LBP gene expression were detected. This was discernible at the protein level on all the materials. Whereas no increase of TLR4 was detected with regard to mRNA concentrations, a considerable increase in the antibody reaction was detected on all the materials. As is the case with titanium, the colonisation of human osteoblasts and fibroblasts on PEEK samples is possible under pro-inflammatory environmental conditions and the cellular inflammation behaviour towards PEEK is lower than that of titanium.

Overloaded skeletal muscle undergoes dramatic shifts in gene expression, which alter both the phenotype and mass. Molecular biology techniques employing both in vivo and in vitro hypertrophy models have demonstrated that mechanical forces can alter skeletal muscle gene regulation. This review's purpose is to support integrin-mediated signaling as a candidate for mechanical load-induced hypertrophy. Research quantifying components of the integrin-signaling pathway in overloaded skeletal muscle have been integrated with knowledge regarding integrins role during development and cardiac hypertrophy, with the hope of demonstrating the pathway's importance. The role of integrin signaling as an integrator of mechanical forces and growth factor signaling during hypertrophy is discussed. Specific components of integrin signaling, including focal adhesion kinase and low-molecular-weight GTPase Rho are mentioned as downstream targets of this signaling pathway. There is a need for additional mechanistic studies capable of providing a stronger linkage between integrin-mediated signaling and skeletal muscle hypertrophy; however, there appears to be abundant justification for this type of research.

AbstractPhosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an important role in protein metabolism and cell growth. We here show that mice (M-PDK1KO mice) with skeletal muscle–specific deficiency of 3′-phosphoinositide–dependent kinase 1 (PDK1), a key component of PI3K signaling pathway, manifest a reduced skeletal muscle mass under the static condition as well as impairment of mechanical load–induced muscle hypertrophy. Whereas mechanical load-induced changes in gene expression were not affected, the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) and S6 induced by mechanical load was attenuated in skeletal muscle of M-PDK1KO mice, suggesting that PDK1 regulates muscle hypertrophy not through changes in gene expression but through stimulation of kinase cascades such as the S6K-S6 axis, which plays a key role in protein synthesis. Administration of the β2-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist clenbuterol activated the S6K-S6 axis in skeletal muscle and induced muscle hypertrophy in mice. These effects of clenbuterol were attenuated in M-PDK1KO mice, and mechanical load–induced activation of the S6K-S6 axis and muscle hypertrophy were inhibited in mice with skeletal muscle–specific deficiency of β2-AR. Our results suggest that PDK1 regulates skeletal muscle mass under the static condition and that it contributes to mechanical load–induced muscle hypertrophy, at least in part by mediating signaling from β2-AR.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of different cyclical mechanical loading patterns on co-cultures of fibroblasts and osteoblasts in vitro, simulating the conditions of the tendon-to-bone interface after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods: Tendon-derived rodent fibroblasts (TDF) and osteoblast-like cells (OBL) were co-cultured to simulate the tendon-to-bone interface. Cyclical loading was applied for one hour twice a day for three days, with a frequency of 1 Hz and 3 % strain. Alkaline phosphatase (AP), osteocalcin (OC), collagen type 1 (COL1A1), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) gene expression and protein deposition were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunocytochemical analysis. Results: Mechanical loading significantly decreased AP, OC, and COL1A1 gene expression in both OBL and TDF, compared to non-loaded cultures. However, mechanical load increased gene expression of the same marker genes including BMP-2 during co-culture. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated increased deposition of corresponding proteins in the same range, independent of culture conditions. Higher depositions of BMP-2 were shown under loading conditions for osteoblast and TDF monocultures. Prolongation of mechanical loading resulted in cell detachment and spheroid formation. Conclusion: Cyclical mechanical loading caused downregulation of genes involved in osteointegration and osteoinduction, such as OC, ALP, and COL1A1 in monocultures of osteoblasts and fibroblasts; co-cultures lacked this phenomenon. Immunocytochemistry and qPCR analysis showed slight upregulations of marker genes and corresponding proteins. This might be due to the potential stabilising effects of osteoblast-fibroblast cross talk in the co-culture environment, resembling fibrocartilage formation at the tendon-to-bone interface.
