Surface chemistry of CoCr particles is demonstrated to be fundamental to the process of phagocytosis by fibroblast cells hi vitro. Particles preincubated hi serum for 5 days and washed in water before addition to cell cultures were phagocytosed less readily than were particles preincubated in minimal essential medium (MEM) for 1 h and washed in water. This was explained by the coating of calcium phosphate and protein on the serum-immersed particles investigated by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The cells incubated with the serum-immersed particles had a reduced mitotic index when compared with the MEM-immersed particles, indicating that the phagocytosed particles were causing cell cycle arrest. The release of soluble ions measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectros- copy within the first hour of particle immersion in MEM was identified as the most likely cause for the DNA damage measured by single cell gel electrophoresis ("Comet" assay). Cryofocused ion beam SEM with a spatial resolution of 8 nm was used to cross section cells, to investigate the location of the phagocytosed particles, some of which were found within the nuclear membrane. This paper demonstrated that consideration of the surface chemistry is essential to understand the processes of the effects of orthopedic wear debris. (c) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
