Abstract

The effects of metallic debris and bone cement (PMMA) particles on the release of neural metalloproteinases from human macrophages in vitro are studied. Results demonstrated that both titanium alloy debris and PMMA particles induced MMP-9 in isolated macrophages. It is noted that MMP-9 is the predominant metalloproteinase from macrophages and MMP-2 is expressed only at higher particle concentrations. The results confirm the hypothesis that macrophages respond to particles by releasing matrix metalloproteinases.
