Chronic inflammation in biomaterial-induced periprosthetic osteolysis: NF-κB as a therapeutic target.
Tzuhua Lin,Yasunobu Tamaki,Jukka Pajarinen,Heather Waters,Deanna K. Woo,Zhenyu Yao,Stuart B. Goodman +6 more
TL;DR: Suppression of chronic inflammation via inhibition of NF-κB activity in patients with malfunctioning joint replacements may be an effective strategy to mitigate wear particle induced periprosthetic osteolysis.

Mutant MCP-1 protein delivery from layer-by-layer coatings on orthopedic implants to modulate inflammatory response.
Michael Keeney,Heather Waters,Katherine Barcay,Xinyi Jiang,Zhenyu Yao,Jukka Pajarinen,Kensuke Egashira,Stuart B. Goodman,Fan Yang +8 more
TL;DR: A biodegradable, layer-by-layer (LBL) coating platform that allows efficient loading and controlled release of 7ND proteins from the surface of orthopedic implants using as few as 14 layers is reported.

Mutant monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 protein attenuates migration of and inflammatory cytokine release by macrophages exposed to orthopedic implant wear particles.
Zhenyu Yao,Michael Keeney,Tzuhua Lin,Jukka Pajarinen,Katherine Barcay,Heather Waters,Kensuke Egashira,Fan Yang,Fan Yang,Stuart B. Goodman,Stuart B. Goodman +10 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the MCP-1 mutant protein 7ND can decrease macrophage migration and inflammatory cytokine release without adverse effects at the doses tested, which may provide a therapeutic strategy to diminish particle-associated periprosthetic inflammation and osteolysis.

NF-κB Decoy Oligodeoxynucleotide Enhanced Osteogenesis in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exposed to Polyethylene Particle
Tzuhua Lin,Taishi Sato,Katherine Barcay,Heather Waters,Florence Loi,R. Y. Zhang,Jukka Pajarinen,Kensuke Egashira,Zhenyu Yao,Stuart B. Goodman +9 more
TL;DR: Modulation of wear particle-induced inflammation by NF-κB decoy ODN had no adverse effects on MSCs and may potentially further mitigate periprosthetic osteolysis by protecting MSC viability and osteogenic ability.
