- INTRODUCTION: Magnesium (Mg)-based degradable implants are an attractive treatment solution for musculoskeletal injuries, avoiding second-stage surgical removal. In multiple clinical applications, the implant is in contact with both the bone and the overlying soft tissue. Although Mg implants are often presented to hold anti-inflammatory properties, less attention has been paid to the sequential response to these implants including initial immune response and subsequent tissue repair. The present study investigated the molecular, cellular, and structural events taking place at the Mg implant interface to soft tissue and bone after in vivo implantation in dedicated experimental rat models. METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats received disc-shaped implants in the dorsum subcutis or screw-shaped implants in the proximal tibial metaphysis. Implants were manufactured from pure magnesium (99.99% - high purity; Mg) or from pure titanium (grade 4; Ti) as control. Animals were euthanized after 1, 3, 6, 14, and 28 day of soft tissue implantation, and after 3 and 28 days of bone implantation. Two types of samples were collected: 1-Implants with the adherent cells (n=7-8/group/time-point). These were allocated for cell counting and /or gene expression analyses of implant-adherent cells. 2-Peri-implant tissue with implants (n = 8/group/time-point). These enabled histological and histomorphometric analyses of the fibrous capsule organization around implants inserted in soft tissues and of osseointegration parameters at the bone-implant interface. Statistical comparisons between experimental groups were run using Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests (p<0.05). RESULTS: Cells adherent to the surface of the implants featured different gene regulation patterns between Mg and Ti groups (Fig. 1). Consistently in soft tissue and in bone, macrophage polarization markers indicated higher expression of proinflammatory macrophage gene inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNos) initially at Mg versus Ti (3 d in bone and 1-6 d in soft tissue). Afterward, gene expression of both macrophage subtypes markers (proinflammatory – iNos and prohealing – Mannose receptor c1; Mrc1) was comparable between implants, irrespective of their insertion site. Histomorphometry evidenced superior bone-implant contact (at 28 d in bone) and thinner fibrous capsule (at 6-28 d in soft tissue) for Mg versus Ti. CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to non-degradable Ti, both soft tissue and bone responses to biodegradable Mg featured an initial yet transient gene activation of the macrophage proinflammatory subtype. Such immunomodulation by Mg resulted in the reduction of fibrous encapsulation in soft tissue and in the promotion of bone formation at the bone-implant interface.
