Abstract：Objective To investigate the effects on IL-6 and PGE2 expression in wear-particles-induced osteoblast cells by blocking calcium phosphatase (Cn)/ activated T nuclear factor (NFAT) pathway. Methods Fetal Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. Osteoblast were prepared from the calvariae of rats . Osteoblast cells were incubated in four group according to different supplementation:(1) neither Ti particles nor 11R-VIVIT (Control group), (2) only Ti particles (Ti group), (3) both Ti particles and 11R-VIVIT (Ti/VIVIT group), and (4) only 11R-VIVIT (VIVIT group). Cells were incubated for 96 hours and the expression of NFATc1 protein was detected by western blot. The expression of IL-6 and PGE2 in liquid supernatant of osteoblast were detected at 6, 24 and 96 hours by ELISA. Results The expression of NFATc1 in the Ti group was higher than that in the Control group (P < 0.01), but in Ti/VIVIT group that was significantly lower than in the titanium particle group (P < 0.01). The IL-6 and PGE2 expression in the supernatant of the Ti group were significantly increased than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The IL-6 and PGE2 in the Ti/VIVIT group were significantly lower than that in the Ti group (P < 0.05). Conclusions 11R-VIVIT peptide specific blockade of Cn/NFAT signaling pathway significantly inhibited IL-6 and PGE2 of osteoblast cells induced by titanium particles.
