TLDR
This is the first report showing that human macrophages isolated directly from periprosthetic tissues surrounding loosened implants can differentiate into multinucleated cells showing all the functional and cytochemical characteristics of osteoclasts.
Abstract
Objective—In aseptic loosening, a heavy macrophage response to biomaterial wear particles is commonly found in arthroplasty tissues. The aim of this study was to discover if these cells contribute to the bone resorption of aseptic loosening by diVerentiating into osteoclasts. Methods—Macrophages were isolated from the pseudocapsule and pseudomembrane of loose cemented and uncemented hip arthroplasties at the time of revision surgery and then co-cultured on glass coverslips and dentine slices with UMR 106 rat osteoblast-like cells, both in the presence and absence of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]. Macrophages isolated from the synovial membrane of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing hip replacements were similarly studied as a control group.

TL;DR: There are no approved treatments for osteolysis despite the promise of therapeutic agents against proinflammatory mediators and osteoclasts shown in animal models, and considerable efforts are underway to develop such therapies.

Adherent Endotoxin on Orthopedic Wear Particles Stimulates Cytokine Production and Osteoclast Differentiation

TL;DR: Results show that adherent endotoxin is involved in many of the biological responses induced by orthopedic wear particles and should stimulate development of new approaches designed to reduce the activity of adherent endot toxin in patients with Orthopedic implants.

The murine mutation osteopetrosis is in the coding region of the macrophage colony stimulating factor gene

TL;DR: It is shown that op/op fibroblasts are defective in production of functional macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), although its messenger RNA (Csfm mRNA) is present at normal levels, and it is concluded that the pathological changes in this mutant result from the absence of M- CSF.

Origin of osteoclasts: mature monocytes and macrophages are capable of differentiating into osteoclasts under a suitable microenvironment prepared by bone marrow-derived stromal cells.

TL;DR: The results indicate that osteoclasts are also derived from the mature monocytes and macrophages when a suitable microenvironment is provided by bone marrow-derived stromal cells.

Bone acid phosphatase: Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase as a marker of osteoclast function

TL;DR: Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatases of bone may be suitable biochemical probes for osteoclast function, but it will be necessary to achieve further purification in order to develop analytical methods with sufficient sensitivity and specificity to ensure precise localization and quantitation.

Osteoclast-like cell formation and its regulation by osteotropic hormones in mouse bone marrow cultures.

TL;DR: TRACP-positive multinucleated cells formed in response to osteotropic hormones in mouse marrow cultures satisfy most of the criteria of osteoclasts, and osteoblasts may play an important role in osteoclast formation.

The problem is osteolysis

TL;DR: The thesis that osteolysis is the dominant problem in total hip arthroplasty is supported by observations that suggest that periprosthetic osteolytics is the leading problem in contemporary total hip replacement.
