Although layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been listed as promising nanomaterials in human healthcare, very little has been achieved on osteoblast inflammatory signaling. Thus, osteoblasts were challenged with two LDHs (Mg 2 Al-Cl and Zn 2 Al-Cl, at 0.002 mg/mL) up to 24 h, establishing an acute inflammatory mechanism, as well as identifying whether Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling has an influence. Functional experiments were performed by previously treating (2 h) semiconfluent osteoblast cultures with cyclopamine molecule (cyc), a widely used Shh inhibitor. Considering inflammasome complex, the asc1 gene was significantly up-expressed in response to Zn 2 Al-Cl - LDHs, as well as the nrlp3 gene. By treating the osteoblast with cyc, the asc1 gene presented an even higher profile. Our results found a down-modulation of major pro-inflammatory cytokines-related genes, when tnfα and il1ß were significantly down-modulated in response to LDHs. Conversely, anti-inflammatory cytokines were up-modulated considering the same experimental procedures. Except the il6, the other il13, il10, and tgfß genes were up modulated. Additionally, Shh signaling seems to modulate this repertory as both the il13 and il10 genes were significantly up-modulated when the Shh signaling was inhibited. Altogether, our results reveal for the first time the exigency of Shh-dependent anti-inflammatory signals in LDH-induced osteoblast responses.
