Abstract
Implant particles may induce inflammatory response by activating the nuclear factor κB (NFκB) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK). Previous studies have shown that these signaling pathways are involved in the transforming growth factor‐β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) in signaling cascades induced by the receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) as well as interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β). In this study, the roles of the TAK1 pathway in the production of the pro‐inflammatory cytokine TNF‐α in RAW 264.7 cells exposed to titanium alloy particles were investigated. Endogenous TAK1 was phosphorylated upon simulating RAW 264.7 cells by titanium alloy particles. The critical role for TAK1 in p38MAPK and NFκB activation was as well confirmed by the inhibition of p38MAPK and NFκB activity following 5Z‐7‐oxozeaenol, a selective inhibitor of TAK1. Furthermore, it was found that TNF‐α was completely blocked by 5Z‐7‐oxozeaenol in RAW 264.7 cells. These results suggest that the TAK1‐MAPK‐NFκB signaling pathways may be a potential pharmacological target that can prevent instability for arthroplasty prosthesis. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
