title: Proteomic analysis and quantification of cytokines and chemokines from biomaterial surface-adherent macrophages and foreign body giant cells.
abstract: Implantation of biomaterial devices results in the well-known foreign body reaction consisting of monocytes, macrophages, and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) at the material/tissue interface. We continue to address the hypothesis that material surface chemistry modulates the phenotypic expression of these cells. Utilizing our human monocyte culture system, we have used surface-modified polymers displaying hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and/or ionic chemistries to determine the cytokines/chemokines released from biomaterial-adherent macrophages/FBGCs. This study broadens our approach by using proteomic analysis to identify important factors expressed by these cells and further quantifies these molecules with ELISAs. Proteomic profiles changed over time suggesting that the adherent macrophages underwent a phenotypic switch. Macrophage/FBGC-derived proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta and IL-6, decreased with time, while the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, gradually increased with time. Resolution of the inflammatory response was also demonstrated by a decrease in chemoattractant IL-8 and MIP-1beta production with time. Material-dependent macrophage/FBGC activation was analyzed using cytokine/chemokine production and cellular adhesion. Monocyte/macrophage adhesion was similar on all surfaces, except for the hydrophilic/neutral surfaces that showed a significant decrease in cellular density and minimal FBGC formation. Normalizing the ELISA data based on the adherent cell population provided cytokine/chemokine concentrations produced per cell. This analysis showed that although there were fewer cells on the hydrophilic/neutral surface, these adherent cells were further activated to produce significantly greater amounts of each cytokine/chemokine tested than the other surfaces. This study clearly presents evidence that material surface chemistry can differentially affect monocyte/macrophage/FBGC adhesion and cytokine/chemokine profiles derived from activated macrophages/FBGCs adherent to biomaterial surfaces.
