Wear debris of polyethylene prosthetic components is known to induce a hose granulomatous reaction which recruits numerous macrophages and multinucleated giant cells, By releasing cellular mediators of a nonspecific inflammatory reaction, activated phagocytic cells are thought to play: a key role in osteolysis leading to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in this destructive process by their ability to degrade extracellular matrix components of bone and adjacent connective tissue. To investigate the roles of gelatinase A, its activator MT1-MMP, and the MMP inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in aseptic loosening of polyethylene prostheses, immunohistochemistry (WC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed on periprosthetic pseudosynovial interface tissues. Gelatinase A and MT1-MMP were strongly detected immunohistochemically in macrophages and multinucleated giant cells in contact with polyethylene wear debris, In contrast to MT1-MMP, gelatinase A mRNAs were not found in phagocytic cells but in surrounding fibroblasts, thereby suggesting cooperation between macrophages and fibroblasts in this process. While TIMP-1 was expressed essentially in hyperplastic pseudosynoviocytes as assessed by MC and LSH, TIMP-2, MT1-MMP, and gelatinase a were colocalized in phagocytic cells. These data support the concept of progelatinase A activation involving a trimolecular complex (MT1-MMP-TIMP-2-gelatinase A) mechanism. Thus, this study demonstrated that gelatinase A and its activator might contribute to the aseptic loosening of polyethylene prostheses.
