Background

The process of osteolysis is well studied both in vivo and in vitro. Although multiple pathways have been implicated in osteolytic change and animal models have been developed there are few human tissue studies. There are no extensive human tissue studies comparing osteoarthritic hips to well fixed and loose prostheses.

Methods

We have investigated 96 genes previously implicated in the osteolytic pathway. Genes were included based on previous implication in osteolysis in basic science studies. Candidates included cytokines, growth factors, apoptotic factors, matrix proteinases, interleukins, apoptotic proteins and macrophage activators.
