Ghosh R, Chanda S, Chakraborty D. Application of finite element analysis to tissue differentiation and bone remodelling approaches and their use in design optimization of orthopaedic implants: A review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING 2022; 38:e3637. [PMID: 35875869 DOI: 10.1002/cnm.3637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Post-operative bone growth and long-term bone adaptation around the orthopaedic implants are simulated using the mechanoregulation based tissue-differentiation and adaptive bone remodelling algorithms, respectively. The primary objective of these algorithms was to assess biomechanical feasibility and reliability of orthopaedic implants. This article aims to offer a comprehensive review of the developments in mathematical models of tissue-differentiation and bone adaptation and their applications in studies involving design optimization of orthopaedic implants over three decades. Despite the different mechanoregulatory models developed, existing literature confirm that none of the models can be highly regarded or completely disregarded over each other. Not much development in mathematical formulations has been observed from the current state of knowledge due to the lack of in vivo studies involving clinically relevant animal models, which further retarded the development of such models to use in translational research at a fast pace. Future investigations involving artificial intelligence (AI), soft-computing techniques and combined tissue-differentiation and bone-adaptation studies involving animal subjects for model verification are needed to formulate more sophisticated mathematical models to enhance the accuracy of pre-clinical testing of orthopaedic implants.

Abstract
Current research data reveal microenvironment as a significant modifier of physical functions, pathologic changes, as well as the therapeutic effects of stem cells. When comparing regeneration potential of various stem cell types used for cytotherapy and tissue engineering, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently the most attractive cell source for bone and tooth regeneration due to their differentiation and immunomodulatory potential and lack of ethical issues associated with their use. The microenvironment of donors and recipients selected in cytotherapy plays a crucial role in regenerative potential of transplanted MSCs, indicating interactions of cells with their microenvironment indispensable in MSC-mediated bone and dental regeneration. Since a variety of MSC populations have been procured from different parts of the tooth and tooth-supporting tissues, MSCs of dental origin and their achievements in capacity to reconstitute various dental tissues have gained attention of many research groups over the years. This review discusses recent advances in comparative analyses of dental MSC regeneration potential with regards to their tissue origin and specific microenvironmental conditions, giving additional insight into the current clinical application of these cells.

Abstract
The hypoxic environment is a substantial factor in maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation of the cell cultures. Low oxygen is known as a potent chondrogenesis stimulus in stem cells that is important for clinical application and engineering of functional cartilage. Hypoxia can potentially induce angiogenesis process by secretion of cytokines. This systematic review goal is to discover the effect of hypoxic condition on tendon/ ligament culture and the best oxygen level of hypoxia for in vitro and in vivo studies. We included 21 articles. A comprehensive review of this database confirms that the hypoxic condition is a substantial factor in the maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation of ligament/tendon cultures. Cell proliferation in the severe hypoxic (oxygen concentration of 1%) group at 24 h postcultivation was considered significant, but cell proliferation was markedly inhibited in the severe hypoxic group after 48 h.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone defect caused by trauma, tumor resection, infection or congenital malformation is a common clinical disease. Bone tissue engineering is regarded as a promising way of bone defect reconstruction. Thus, agents that can promote osteogenesis have received great attention. Cytochalasin D (Cyto D), a metabolite derived from molds, proves to be able to modify actin, reorganize cytoskeleton, and then promote the osteogenic differentiation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of Cyto D on osteogenic differentiation of mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. METHODS The optimum concentration of Cyto D was explored. The osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells induced by Cyto D was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining, western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In addition, a specific pathway inhibitor was utilized to explore whether MAPK pathways were involved in this process. RESULTS The results showed that the optimized concentration of action was 10-2µg/ml. The expression of Runx2, OCN and OSX was up-regulated by the supplement of Cyto D. ALP activity, calcium deposition, and phosphorylation level of p38 protein were also improved. Inhibition of the pathway significantly reduced the activation of p38, and the expression of osteogenic-related genes. CONCLUSION Cyto D can promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3 cells via the p38-MAPK signaling pathway, but not the ERK1/2 or JNK, and it is a potential agent to improve the osteogenesis of MC3T3 cells.

Global gene expression profile of periodontal ligament cells submitted to mechanical loading: A systematic review. Arch Oral Biol 2020; 118:104884. [PMID: 32877888 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2020.104884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the evidence reporting gene expression array data of human in vitro cultured periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) submitted to static mechanical loading compared to a control group. DESIGN Systematic searches were performed in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, The Cochrane Library and the System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe up to June 2019. A narrative synthesis was performed to summarize differentially expressed genes (DEGs). These were grouped according to the culture method (2D or 3D), force type (compression or tension) and observation time. Additionally, gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation Visualization and Integrated Discovery. The risk of bias (RoB) and certainty of evidence (CoE) were assessed using a modified CONSORT checklist and the GRADE tool, respectively. RESULTS Of eight studies included (all rated as having moderate RoB), only two provided the complete list of DEGs and four studies performed GO, gene network or pathways analysis. "Cell proliferation", "cell-cell signaling", "response to hypoxia and to mechanical stimulus" were among the significantly enriched biological processes in 3D-cultured compressed PDLCs (moderate CoE); while "collagen catabolic process", "extracellular matrix organization" and "cell proliferation" were associated with DEGs of 3D-cultured PDLCs submitted to tension (very low CoE). Biological processes significantly enriched in 2D-cultured PDLCs under compression were "extracellular matrix organization", "canonical glycolysis" and "glycolytic process" (very low CoE). CONCLUSION Genes such as NR4A2, NR4A3, NAMPT, PGK1, and REDD1 are suggested as novel biomarkers for orthodontic tooth movement. Limited amount of evidence on the complete gene expression profile and the high heterogeneity in methodologies make it impossible to obtain definite conclusions. New studies following standardized and well-designed in vitro model and reporting complete gene expression datasets are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aims to analyze the expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and investigate the potential regulatory networks among lncRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) under mechanical force (MF). MATERIALS AND METHODS PDLSCs were isolated from human periodontal ligament tissues and identified by flow cytometry analysis. Multidirectional differentiation potential of PDLSCs was obtained by osteogenic and adipogenic induction. High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to identify the expression patterns of lncRNAs and mRNAs in PDLSCs under MF. MF-responsive miRNAs were obtained from the previous microarray data. LncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs networks were constructed by Cytoscape. RESULTS PDLSCs cultured from the periodontal ligament tissues were positive for STRO-1, CD146 and negative for CD45, CD34. Alizarin red staining and Oil Red O staining showed that PDLSCs had the ability of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Then, a total of 1,339 and 1,426 differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified, respectively, in PDLSCs under MF. Based on the previous miRNA microarray analysis, the potential interaction networks of lncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs were constructed. It was found that lncRNAs and mRNAs could competitively interact with the same miRNA. CONCLUSIONS LncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs networks were involved in PDLSCs under MF, which might provide a novel mechanism in the regulation of clinical orthodontic tooth movement process.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has latent and lytic replication phases, both of which contribute to the development of KSHV-induced malignancies. Among the numerous factors identified to regulate the KSHV life cycle, oxidative stress, caused by imbalanced clearing and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), has been shown to robustly disrupt KSHV latency and induce viral lytic replication. In this study, we identified an important role of the antioxidant defense factor forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) in the KSHV life cycle. Either chemical inhibition of the FoxO1 function or knockdown of FoxO1 expression led to an increase in the intracellular ROS level that was subsequently sufficient to disrupt KSHV latency and induce viral lytic reactivation. On the other hand, treatment with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), an oxygen free radical scavenger, led to a reduction in the FoxO1 inhibition-induced ROS level and, ultimately, the attenuation of KSHV lytic reactivation. These findings reveal that FoxO1 plays a critical role in keeping KSHV latency in check by maintaining the intracellular redox balance.IMPORTANCE Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is associated with several cancers, including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Both the KSHV latent and lytic replication phases are important for the development of KS. Identification of factors regulating the KSHV latent phase-to-lytic phase switch can provide insights into the pathogenesis of KSHV-induced malignancies. In this study, we show that the antioxidant defense factor forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) maintains KSHV latency by suppressing viral lytic replication. Inhibition of FoxO1 disrupts KSHV latency and induces viral lytic replication by increasing the intracellular ROS level. Significantly, treatment with an oxygen free radical scavenger, N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), attenuated the FoxO1 inhibition-induced intracellular ROS level and KSHV lytic replication. Our works reveal a critical role of FoxO1 in suppressing KSHV lytic replication, which could be targeted for antiviral therapy.

Abstract
Here we show the dependence of the unicellular biosensor S.ambigua lifespan on the water D/H isotopic composition. This dependence is bell-shaped with descents both in case of deficiency or excess of deuterium in water. The influence of the water D/H isotopic composition on the cell culture proliferative potential and colony forming efficiency in vitro was tested on the human dermal fibroblasts. We observed that the deuterium depleted water stimulates cell colony formation at the early passages. The dynamics of the cell doubling index in the deuterium depleted water-based growth medium showed higher proliferation potential compared to the water with normal isotopic composition. Using scratch assay, we have also studied the impact of the growth medium D/H isotopic composition on the cell motility of human cancer cell lines A549 and HT29. We have shown that the deuterium depleted water considerably suppressed cancer cell lines amoeboid movement in vitro.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) and recombinant human bone morphological protein-2 (rhBMP-2) applied to hypoxic-cultured MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells and to determine possible signaling pathways underlying differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts under hypoxia. Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured under 1% oxygen tension for 72 h. Cell cultures were divided into four groups: normoxia control, low-level laser (LLL) alone, rhBMP-2 combined with LLLT, and rhBMP-2 under hypoxia. Laser irradiation was applied at 0, 24, and 48 h. Cells were treated with rhBMP-2 at 50 ng/mL. Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured at 3, 7, and 14 days to evaluate osteoblastic differentiation. Cell mineralization was determined with Alizarin red S staining at 7 and 14 days. Western blot assays were performed to evaluate whether p38/protein kinase D (PKD) signaling was involved. Results The results indicate that LLLT and rhBMP-2 synergistically increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization. Western blot analyses showed that expression of type I collagen, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and Osterix (Osx), increased and expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), decreased more in the LLLT and rhBMP-2 combined group than in the rhBMP-2 or LLL alone groups. Moreover, LLLT and rhBMP-2 stimulated p38 phosphorylation and rhBMP-2 and LLLT increased Prkd1 phosphorylation. Conclusion Combined treatment with rhBMP-2 and LLL induced differentiation and mineralization of hypoxic-cultured MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts by activating p38/PKD signaling in vitro.

EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2018; 27:1757-1766. [PMID: 29909551 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-018-5663-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2017] [Revised: 03/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/06/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of leptin/leptin receptor (LepR) combined with mechanical stress on the development of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), which is a disease characterized by ectopic bone formation of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) and can lead to radiculopathy and myelopathy. METHODS Six human samples of the PLL were analyzed for the expression of leptin and LepR by RT-PCR and western blotting. PLL cells were stimulated with leptin and mechanical stress delivered via a Flexcell tension system, and osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by RT-PCR and western blotting analysis of osteogenic marker expression as well as by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red S staining. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Janus kinase (JAK) 2-signal transducer, activator of transcription (STAT) 3 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt was evaluated by western blotting. RESULTS Samples from the OPLL group had higher LepR mRNA and protein levels and lower leptin levels than those from healthy controls. Exposure to leptin and Flexcell increased the number of ALP-positive cells and calcium nodules in a dose-dependent manner; this effect was accompanied by upregulation of the osteogenic markers osteocalcin, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and osteopontin. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase, P38 MAPK, JAK2, STAT3, PI3K and Akt signaling, was also activated by the combined effects of leptin and mechanical stress. CONCLUSIONS Leptin and LepR are differentially expressed in OPLL tissues, and the combined use of leptin/LepR and mechanical stress promotes osteogenic differentiation of PLL cells via MAPK, JAK2-STAT3 and PI3K/Akt signaling.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a crucial microenvironment for inflamed periodontal tissue and periodontal wound healing. Enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) potentially can promote the formation of new periodontium. The effects of EMPs on periodontal ligament cells under hypoxia, however, remain unclear. We investigated the effects of EMPs on cellular biobehavior and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under hypoxia. Under cobalt chloride (CoCl2)-induced hypoxia, cellular biobehavior of hPDLCs, including proliferation, attachment, spreading, and migration with or without EMPs, was evaluated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), cell counting, spreading area measurement and wound scratch assay. The osteogenic activity of hPDLCs was assessed using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S staining (ARS). The expressions of osteogenic genes including runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), ALP, osteocalcin (OCN) and collagen type I (Col-I) were detected using real time quantitative PCR, western blot and immunocytochemistry assays. The biobehavior and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs were inhibited significantly under hypoxia. EMPs have no effect on cell proliferation under mimicked hypoxia. EMPs partly reversed the inhibitory effects of hypoxia, however, for other cellular biobehavior including attachment, spreading and migration, and markedly up-regulated osteogenic differentiation activities including ALP, mineralization ability and the expressions of osteogenic genes such as Runx2, ALP, osteocalcin, and collagen type I in hPDLCs under hypoxia. EMPs attenuate the hypoxic injury to cellular biobehavior and osteogenic differentiation in hPDLCs under hypoxia.

Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that fluid shear stress (FSS) may promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast cells. However, proliferation and differentiation are mutually exclusive processes and are unlikely to be promoted by FSS simultaneously. Cell proliferation and differentiation induced by FSS has rarely been reported. In order to provide an insight into this process, the present study investigated the effects of FSS on osteoblast‑like MC3T3 cells in the G0/G1 phase, the period during which the fate of a cell is determined. The results of the present study demonstrated that FSS promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the mRNA expression and protein expression of osteocalcin, collagen type I and runt‑related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), while inhibiting DNA synthesis and arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. The increase in Runx2 and ALP activity was accompanied by the activation of calcium/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase type II (CaMK II) and extracellular signal‑regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), which was completely abolished by treatment with KN93 and U0126, respectively. In addition, the inhibition of ERK1/2, although not CaMK II, decreased p21Cip/Kip activity, resulting in an increase in cell number and S phase re‑entry. The results of the present study indicated that in the G0/G1 phase, FSS promoted osteoblast differentiation via the CaMK II and ERK1/2 signaling pathways, and blocked the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase via the ERK1/2 pathway only. The present findings provided an increased understanding of osteoblastic mechanobiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the mechanism of the stretch-induced cell realignment and cytoskeletal rearrangement by identifying several mechanoresponsive genes related to cytoskeletal regulators in human PDL cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS After the cells were stretched by 1, 10 and 20% strains for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 or 24 h, the changes of the morphology and content of microfilaments were recorded and calculated. Meanwhile, the expression of 84 key genes encoding cytoskeletal regulators after 6 and 24 h stretches with 20% strain was detected by using real-time PCR array. Western blot was applied to identify the protein expression level of several cytoskeletal regulators encoded by these differentially expressed genes. RESULTS The confocal fluorescent staining results confirmed that stretch-induced realignment of cells and rearrangement of microfilaments. Among the 84 genes screened, one gene was up-regulated while two genes were down-regulated after 6 h stretch. Meanwhile, three genes were up-regulated while two genes were down-regulated after 24 h stretch. These genes displaying differential expression included genes regulating polymerization/depolymerization of microfilaments (CDC42EP2, FNBP1L, NCK2, PIKFYVE, WASL), polymerization/depolymerization of microtubules (STMN1), interacting between microfilaments and microtubules (MACF1), as well as a phosphatase (PPP1R12B). Among the proteins encoded by these genes, the protein expression level of Cdc42 effector protein-2 (encoded by CDC42EP2) and Stathmin-1 (encoded by STMN1) was down-regulated, while the protein expression level of N-WASP (encoded by WASL) was up-regulated. CONCLUSION The present study confirmed the cyclic stretch-induced cellular realignment and rearrangement of microfilaments in the human PDL cells and indicated several force-sensitive genes with regard to cytoskeletal regulators.

Abstract
Hypoxia suppresses osteoblastic differentiation and the bone-forming capacity. As the leading osteoinductive growth factor used clinically in bone-related regenerative medicine, recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has yielded promising results in unfavorable hypoxic clinical situations. Although many studies have examined the effects of rhBMP-2 on osteoblastic differentiation, mineralization and the related signaling pathways, those of rhBMP-2 on osteoblastic cells remain unknown, particularly under hypoxic conditions. Therefore, this study was conducted under a 1% oxygen tension to examine the differentiating effects of rhBMP-2 on osteoblastic cells under hypoxia. rhBMP-2 could also induce the differentiation and mineralization of Osteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cells under 1% hypoxic conditions. rhBMP-2 could also induce the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells under 1% hypoxic conditions. rhBMP-2 increased the alkaline phosphatase {ALP} activity in a time dependent manner, and expression of ALP, collagen type-1 (Col-1) and osteocalcin (OC) mRNA were up-regulated significantly in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the area of the mineralized nodules increased gradually in a concentration-dependent manner. Western blot analysis, which was performed to identify the signaling pathways underlying rhBMP-2-induced osteoblastic differentiation under hypoxic conditions, showed that rhBMP-2 significantly promoted the phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in a time-dependent manner. A pretreatment with SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, inhibited the rhBMP-2-mediated differentiation and mineralization. Moreover, the phosphorylation of p38 induced by rhBMP-2 was inhibited in response to a pretreatment of the cells with Go6976, a protein kinase D {PKD) inhibitor. These findings suggest that rhBMP-2 induces the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells under hypoxic conditions via activation of the PKD and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that human periodontal ligament cells undergo osteoblastic differentiation via the ERK pathway under mechanical stress in vitro. This study aimed to verify this principle in vivo. The right upper first molars of 25 anesthetized rats were loaded with constant forces of 0.1 N for up to 8 hrs. The untreated contralateral side served as a control. Paraffin-embedded sections were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2/Cbfa1), and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (pERK1/2). In selected areas under tension, the proportions of Runx2-positive and pERK1/2-positive cells increased within 8 hrs of loading, whereas these proportions in selected areas under pressure were significantly lower than those in control teeth. Moreover, there were no significant changes in the number of PCNA-positive cells. Thus, mechanical stimulus up-regulates Runx2, and this regulation may be achieved via the ERK pathway.

Abstract
Physical forces play a critical role in the survival and proliferation of many cell types, including fibroblasts. Gingival fibroblasts are exposed to mechanical stress during mastication, orthodontic tooth movement, and wound healing following periodontal surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of mechanical strain on human gingival fibroblasts (hGF). Cells were subjected to short-term (up to 60 min) and long-term (up to 48 hrs) 20% average elongation at 0.1 Hz. We monitored survival signaling by evaluating the phosphorylation status and localization of Forkhead box (FoxO) family members, which are mediators of apoptosis. We also examined strain-induced proliferation by measuring the level of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). We observed that cyclic strain caused the phosphorylation and retention in the cytoplasm of FoxO family members. Moreover, mechanical strain resulted in increased ERK kinase phosphorylation and PCNA expression. In conclusion, cyclic strain delivers anti-apoptotic and proliferative stimuli to hGF.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease that increases individual's fragility fracture risk. PTH is the only therapeutic agent for severe osteoporosis that requires anabolic action of bone formation. Although a part of the PTH actions is explained by increased proliferation of osteoblastic precursor cells, the mechanisms involved in the proliferation of osteoblastic cells by PTH have not been clarified yet. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of PTH on gene expression in the cultured osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, and found that the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 (Usp2) may be one of the direct target genes of PTHR signaling. Usp2 is a deubiquitination enzyme targeting various factors including CyclinD1 in cancer cells and PTH receptor 1 in osteoblasts. We confirmed that consistent induction of Usp2 expression peaked at 1 h by PTH1-34 (teriparatide) in MC3T3-E1 cells and primary calvarial osteoblasts. Among the three known splicing variants of the Usp2, we found the isoforms 1 and 2 are predominantly expressed in osteoblasts. Live-imaging analysis of the Fucci-transgenic mouse-derived primary osteoblasts indeed demonstrated that Usp2 is required for the PTH1-34-induced osteoblast proliferation. Western blotting analysis of the CyclinD1 indicated that Usp2 knock-down influences the paradoxical changes of CyclinD1 protein levels in this condition. Our data indicate that Usp2 is required for the PTH1-34-induced proliferation of osteoblasts.

Abstract
Mechanical loading is recognized to play an important role in regulating the behaviors of cells in bone and surrounding tissues in vivo. Many in vitro studies have been conducted to determine the effects of mechanical loading on individual cell types of the tissues. In this review, we focus specifically on the use of the Flexercell system as a tool for studying cellular responses to mechanical stretch. We assess the literature describing the impact of mechanical stretch on different cell types from bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, and cartilage, describing individual cell phenotype responses. In addition, we review evidence regarding the mechanotransduction pathways that are activated to potentiate these phenotype responses in different cell populations.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most dynamic tissues in the human body that can heal following injury without leaving a scar. However, in instances of extensive bone loss, this intrinsic capacity of bone to heal may not be sufficient and external intervention becomes necessary. Several techniques are available to address this problem, including autogenous bone grafts and allografts. However, all these techniques have their own limitations. An alternative method is the technique of distraction osteogenesis, where gradual and controlled distraction of two bony segments after osteotomy leads to induction of new bone formation. Although distraction osteogenesis usually gives satisfactory results, its major limitation is the prolonged duration of time required before the external fixator is removed, which may lead to numerous complications. Numerous methods to accelerate bone formation in the context of distraction osteogenesis have been reported. A viable alternative to autogenous bone grafts for a source of osteogenic cells is mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow. However, there are certain problems with bone marrow aspirate. Hence, scientists have investigated other sources for mesenchymal stem cells, specifically adipose tissue, which has been shown to be an excellent source of mesenchymal stem cells. In this paper, the potential use of adipose stem cells to stimulate bone formation is discussed.

Expression and Function of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Pulp Tissue of Teeth under Orthodontic Movement. Mediators Inflamm 2015; 2015:215761. [PMID: 26441483 PMCID: PMC4579319 DOI: 10.1155/2015/215761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2015] [Revised: 07/07/2015] [Accepted: 08/02/2015] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Orthodontic force may lead to cell damage, circulatory disturbances, and vascular changes of the dental pulp, which make a hypoxic environment in pulp. In order to maintain the homeostasis of dental pulp, hypoxia will inevitably induce the defensive reaction. However, this is a complex process and is regulated by numerous factors. In this study, we established an experimental animal model of orthodontic tooth movement to investigate the effects of mechanical force on the expression of VEGF and HIF-1α in dental pulp. Histological analysis of dental pulp and expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins in dental pulp were examined. The results showed that inflammation and vascular changes happened in dental pulp tissue in different periods. Additionally, there were significant changes in the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF proteins under orthodontic force. After application of mechanical load, expression of HIF-1α and VEGF was markedly positive in 1, 3, 7 d, and 2 w groups, and then it weakened in 4 w group. These findings suggested that the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF was enhanced by mechanical force. HIF-1α and VEGF may play an important role in retaining the homeostasis of dental pulp during orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signalling is intricately involved in coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone development and repair. Activation of HIFs in response to a hypoxic bone micro-environment stimulates the transcription of multiple genes with effects on angiogenesis, precursor cell recruitment and differentiation. Substantial progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which oxygen content regulates the levels and activity of HIFs. In particular, the discovery of the role of oxygen-dependent hydroxylase enzymes in modulating the activity of HIF-1α has sparked interest in potentially promising therapeutic strategies in multiple clinical fields and most recently bone healing. Several small molecules, termed hypoxia mimics, have been identified as activators of the HIF pathway and have demonstrated augmentation of both bone vascularity and bone regeneration in vivo. In this review we discuss key elements of the hypoxic signalling pathway and its role in bone regeneration. Current strategies for the manipulation of this pathway for enhancing bone repair are presented with an emphasis on recent pre-clinical in vivo investigations. These findings suggest promising approaches for the development of therapies to improve bone repair and tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
It remains unclear how the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) might respond to mechanical stretch. To investigate specific miRNA expression in stretched PDLSCs, we used a Flexcell® FX-5000™ tension system to achieve external mechanical stimulation. Then, a custom-designed microarray assay was performed to investigate and describe the genome-wide differential expression of miRNAs in normal and stretched PDLSCs. Finally, we implemented integrative miRNA target prediction and network analysis approaches to construct an interaction network of the key miRNAs and their putative targets. We found that stretching induced morphological changes and increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), and bone sialoprotein (BSP) expression in PDLSCs. The microarray data showed that 53 miRNAs were differentially expressed with stretching. With an interaction network, we examined the connections between 10 selected key miRNAs and their putative target genes, which were related to mechanical force. The results from the interaction network provided a basis for postulating the functional roles of miRNAs in PDLSCs.

Abstract
Microvilli are conventionally regarded as an extension of the small intestinal absorptive surface, but they are also, as latterly discovered, a launching pad for brush border digestive enzymes. Recent work has demonstrated that motor elements of the microvillus cytoskeleton operate to displace the apical membrane toward the apex of the microvillus, where it vesiculates and is shed into the periapical space. Catalytically active brush border digestive enzymes remain incorporated within the membranes of these vesicles, which shifts the site of BB digestion from the surface of the enterocyte to the periapical space. This process enables nutrient hydrolysis to occur adjacent to the membrane in a pre-absorptive step. The characterization of BB digestive enzymes is influenced by the way in which these enzymes are anchored to the apical membranes of microvilli, their subsequent shedding in membrane vesicles, and their differing susceptibilities to cleavage from the component membranes. In addition, the presence of active intracellular components of these enzymes complicates their quantitative assay and the elucidation of their dynamics. This review summarizes the ontogeny and regulation of BB digestive enzymes and what is known of their kinetics and their action in the peripheral and axial regions of the small intestinal lumen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), produced by osteoblasts, catalyze the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in osteoid, and the regulation of MMP activity depends on interactions between MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). We focused on the degradation process of ECM in osteoid that was exposed to mechanical strain, and conducted an in vitro study using MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to examine the effects of tension force (TF) on the expression of MMPs and TIMPs, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. DESIGN Cells were incubated on flexible-bottomed culture plates and stimulated with or without cyclic TF for 24 hours. The expression of MMPs and TIMPs was examined at mRNA and protein levels by real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 MAPK, and stress-activated protein kinases/c-jun N-terminal kinases (SAPK/JNK) were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS TF decreased the expression of MMP-1, -3, -13 and phosphorylated ERK1/2. In contrast, TF increased the expression of TIMP-2, -3 and phosphorylated SAPK/JNK. The expression of MMP-2, -14, TIMP-1, -4 and phosphorylated p38 MAPK was unaffected by TF. MMP-1, -3 and -13 expression decreased in cells treated with the ERK inhibitor PD98059 compared with untreated control cells. The JNK inhibitor SP600125 inhibited the TF-induced upregulation of TIMP-2 and -3. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that TF suppresses the degradation process that occurs during ECM turnover in osteoid via decreased production of MMP-1, -3 and -13, and increased production of TIMP-2 and -3 through the MAPK signaling pathways in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Amputation of the digit tip within the terminal phalangeal bone of rodents, monkeys, and humans results in near-perfect regeneration of bone and surrounding tissues; however, amputations at a more proximal level fail to produce the same regenerative result. Digit regeneration is a coordinated, multifaceted process that incorporates signaling from bioactive growth factors both in the tissue matrix and from several different cell populations. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in bone regeneration we developed a novel multi-tissue slice-culture model that regenerates bone ex vivo via direct ossification. Our study provides an integrated multi-tissue system for bone and digit regeneration and allows us to circumvent experimental limitations that exist in vivo. We used this slice-culture model to evaluate the influence of oxygen on regenerating bone. Micro-computed tomography (µCT) and histological analysis revealed that the regenerative response of the digit is facilitated in part by a dynamic oxygen event, in which mutually exclusive high and low oxygen microenvironments exist and vacillate in a coordinated fashion during regeneration. Areas of increased oxygen are initially seen in the marrow and then surrounding areas of vasculature in the regenerating digit. Major hypoxic events are seen at 7 days postamputation (DPA 7) in the marrow and again at DPA 12 in the blastema, and manipulation of oxygen tensions during these hypoxic phases can shift the dynamics of digit regeneration. Oxygen increased to 21% oxygen tension can either accelerate or attenuate bone mineralization in a stage-specific manner in the regenerative timeline. These studies not only reveal a circumscribed frame of oxygen influence during bone regeneration, but also suggest that oxygen may be one of the primary signaling influences during regeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE These days, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received worldwide attention because of their potentiality in tissue engineering for implant dentistry. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various growth inducing factors in media for improvement of acquisition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F). MATERIALS AND METHODS The mouse BMMSCs were freshly obtained from female C3H mouse femur and tibia. The cells seeded at the density of 106/dish in media supplemented with different density of fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin (VD3) and recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF). After 14 days, CFU-F assay was conducted to analyze the cell attachment and proliferation, and moreover for VD3, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay was additionally conducted. RESULTS The cell proliferation was increased with the increase of FBS concentration (P<.05). The cell proliferation was highest at the density of 20 ng/mL rhEGF compared with 0 ng/mL and 200 ng/mL rhEGF (P<.05). For VD3, although the colony number was increased with the increase of its concentration, the difference was not statistically significant (P>.05). CONCLUSION FBS played the main role in cell attachment and growth, and the growth factor like rhEGF played the additional effect. However, VD3 did not have much efficacy compare with the other two factors. Improvement of the conditions could be adopted to acquire more functional MSCs to apply into bony defect around implants easily.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that periodontal ligament exists in a hypoxic microenvironment, especially under the condition of periodontitis or physical stress. The present study is designed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of hypoxia on regulating the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under cyclic tensile stress (CTS). METHODS hPDLCs were cultured in 2% O2 (hypoxia) or 20% O2 (normoxia) and then subjected to a cyclic in-plane tensile deformation of 10% at 0.5 Hz. The following parameters were measured: 1) cell proliferation by flow cytometry; 2) cell ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy; 3) expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and osteogenic relative factors (i.e., secreted phosphoprotein 1 [SPP1; also known as bone sialoprotein I/osteopontin], runt-related transcription factor 2 [RUNX2], and transcription factor Sp7 [SP7]) by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot; and 4) involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways by Western blot with specific inhibitor. RESULTS Proliferation index in the hypoxia with CTS group was significantly higher than in other groups. Significant increases in HIF-1α, SPP1, RUNX2, and SP7 occurred in the presence of hypoxia for 24 hours. In addition, MAPK inhibitor (PD 98,059) significantly attenuated hypoxia and CTS-induced phosphor-ERK1/2 (extracellular regulated kinase 1/2), phosphor-JNK (c-jun N-terminal kinase), and phosphor-P38 expression. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxia regulates CTS-responsive changes in proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs via MAPK pathways. Hypoxia-treated hPDLCs may serve as an in vitro model to explore the molecular mechanisms of periodontitis.

Abstract
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) has been used extensively as a biocide and a wood preservative and has been reported to be immunosuppressive in rodents and humans. Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) is a major metabolite of PCP. TCHQ has been identified as the main cause of PCP-induced genotoxicity due to reactive oxidant stress (ROS). However, the precise mechanisms associated with the immunotoxic effects of PCP and TCHQ remain unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of PCP and TCHQ on the induction of ROS and injury to primary mouse splenocytes. Our results shown that TCHQ was more toxic than PCP and that a high dose of TCHQ led to necrotic cell death of the splenocytes through induction of massive and sudden ROS and prolonged ROS-triggered ERK activation. Inhibition of ROS production by N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) partially restored the mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited ERK activity, elevated caspase-3 activity and PARP cleavage, and, eventually, switched the TCHQ-induced necrosis to apoptosis. We suggest that prolonged ERK activation is essential for TCHQ-induced necrosis, and that ROS play a pivotal role in the different TCHQ-induced cell death mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of hypoxia on proliferation, apoptosis and mineralization of cementoblast-like cells (OCCM-30) in vitro. METHODS The effects of different periods of hypoxia (2% O2) on proliferation, apoptosis, cementoblastic potential and root cementum resorption capability of OCCM-30 were evaluated, by using MTT, flow cytometry, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction measurement, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and mineralization nodule formation assay. RESULTS OCCM-30 viability was significantly inhibited by hypoxia while the apoptosis ratio was enhanced in a time-dependent manner; hypoxia inducible factor-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA were induced by hypoxia in different manners; temporary hypoxia (<24 h) stimulated cementoblastic function of OCCM-30, while long-term hypoxia inhibited it, manifested by decreased mRNA level or release of ALP, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteoprotegerin. In addition, hypoxia affected mineralized nodule formation of OCCM-30 in a time-dependent fashion; moreover, root cementum resorption function was also induced by hypoxia, manifested by increased receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand mRNA and protein expression. CONCLUSION Temporary exposure of OCCM-30 to hypoxia inhibited proliferation, promoted apoptosis and mineralization, while longer duration of hypoxia could inhibit the cementoblast function. The findings may provide theoretical basis for developing novel therapeutics to prevent root resorption during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Techniques for dental transplantation today are taking better advantage of the potential for healing of the periodontal ligament than in the past and have reduced the risk of ankylosis and root resorption to below 1.5%. The resulting improvement in prognosis has made it possible to more confidently plan procedures that include orthodontic treatment. Transplantations can offer a good end result in certain clinical situations that would otherwise be difficult to manage: ectopic teeth, transpositions, tooth trauma sequellae, advanced decay or advanced periodontitis, implanted hard to treat impacted teeth, and idiopathic ankylosis. This article describes the biological principles for transplantation using double periodontal ligament stimulation, explains the surgical techniques and provides several examples to expand on the treatment of impacted canines, whether or not they present with idiopathic ankylosis. Dental ankylosis is the fusion of the bone with the root. The idiopathic type occurs spontaneously before the eruption of the affected tooth. The etiology is unknown. Because the tooth becomes part of the process of osseous remodeling, it is progressively resorbed and then replaced by bony tissue. This process takes place rather quickly and weakens the tooth. Additionally, an early diagnosis makes it possible to plan a transplantation under favorable circumstances, as that is the only way to halt the ankylosis and to achieve an adequate implantation. In rare cases, the location of the ankylosis is surgically accessible and can be eliminated before resuming orthodontic traction.

Abstract
Physiological occlusal force constitutively exists in the oral environment and is important for periodontal homeostasis and remodeling. Cyclic tensile stress (CTS) triggers the biological response of periodontal ligament (PDL). However, a few reports have studied the correlation between CTS during physiological occlusal force and PDL cell activities such as osteogenic differentiation. In the present study, human PDL cells (hPDLCs) were subjected to 10% elongation CTS loading at 0.5 Hz for 24 h, which represents the physiological conditions of occlusal force. Gene expression microarray was used to investigate the mechano-induced differential gene profile and pathway analysis in vitro. The osteogenic relative factors, that is, SPP1, RUNX2, and SP7, were assessed by real-time PCR and Western blot. The involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways was investigated by Western blot with a specific inhibitor. The expressions of SPP1, RUNX2, SP7, p-ERK1/2, and p-Elk1 were up-regulated after 10% CTS exposure. However, these up-regulated expressions were prevented by ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126 in the physiological occlusal force-applied hPDLCs. These results showed that 10% CTS could enhance osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs via ERK1/2-Elk1 MAPK pathway, indicating that CTS during physiological occlusal force is a potent agent for PDL remodeling.

Abstract
Dental ankylosis involves the fusion of root to bone. The idiopathic form occurs spontaneously before the eruption of the tooth concerned. Etiology is unknown. As the tooth becomes part of the bone-remodeling process, it is gradually resorbed and is replaced by bony tissue. The process is quite rapid and weakens the tooth. Thus, early diagnosis makes it possible to perform a graft in optimal conditions, this being the only means of severing the ankylosis and achieving adequate eruption. In some rare cases, the ankylotic point of fusion can be reached surgically and can be eliminated before orthodontic traction is initiated.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether fluid shear stress and melatonin in combination stimulate the anabolic proteins through the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells. First, we researched why fluid shear stress and melatonin in combination influence cell survival. Fluid shear stress (1 hr) and melatonin (1 mM) in combination reduced autophagic marker LC3-II compared with fluid shear stress (1 hr) and/or melatonin (0.1 mM). Under the same conditions for fluid shear stress, markers of cell survival signaling pathway p-ERK, phosphorylation of serine-threonine protein kinase (p-Akt), phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), and p85-S6K were investigated. p-Akt, p-mTOR (Ser 2481) expressions increased with the addition of 1 mM melatonin prior to 0.1 mM melatonin treatment. However, p-S6K expression did not change significantly. Next, mitochondria activity including Bcl-2, Bax, catalase, and Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) were studied. Expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, and catalase proteins were low under fluid shear stress plus 1 mM melatonin compared with only fluid shear stress alone, whereas Mn-SOD expression was high compared with conditions of no fluid shear stress. Finally, the anabolic proteins of bone, osteoprotegerin, type I collagen (collagen I), and bone sialoprotein II (BSP II) were checked. These proteins increased with combined fluid shear stress (1, 4 hr) and melatonin (0.1, 1 mM). Together, these results suggest that fluid shear stress and melatonin in combination may increase the expression of anabolic proteins through the p-ERK in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells. Therefore, fluid shear stress in combination with melatonin may promote the anabolic response of osteoblasts.

Abstract
Mechanical stimuli play a significant role in the regulation of bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. However, the correlation between mechanical strain and bone remodeling is still poorly understood. In this study, we used a model of continuous mechanical strain (CMS) on bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to investigate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the mechanism of mechano-transduction. A CMS of 10 % at 1 Hz suppressed the proliferation of BMSCs and induced early osteogenic differentiation within 48 h by activating Runx2 and increasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA expression of osteogenesis-related genes (ALP, collagen type I, and osteopontin). Regarding mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, CMS induced phased phosphorylation of p38 consisting of a rapid induction of p38 MAPK at 10 min and a rapid decay after 1 h. Furthermore, the potent p38 inhibitor SB203580 blocked the induction of p38 MAPK signaling, but had little effect on subsequent osteogenic events. These results demonstrate that mechanical strain may act as a stimulator to induce the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, which is a vital function for bone formation in orthodontic tooth movement. However, activation of the p38 signaling pathway may not be involved in this process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Mechanical loading plays an important role in regulating bone formation and remodeling. Relevant mechanical stretching can increase the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells in vitro. However, little is known about the effects of supraphysiological high-level mechanical stretching on the growth and cell cycle progression of osteoblastic cells. METHODS Osteoblast-like MG-63 cells were seeded onto flexible-bottomed plates and subjected to cyclic mechanical stretching (15% elongation, 0.5 Hz) for 24 and 48 hours in a Flexercell FX-4000 strain unit. Cellular activities were measured by an assay based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt, 3-[4,5-dimethyldiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetra-zolium bromide (MTT). The number of viable cells was also determined by the trypan blue dye exclusion technique. Cell cycle progression was checked by flow cytometry. mRNA expressions of apoptosis- and cell cycle-related genes (Bcl2, Bax, cdc2, cdc25C, and cyclin B1) were analyzed using an RT-PCR technique. RESULTS The number of viable cells significantly decreased in osteoblast-like MG-63 cells subjected to cyclic mechanical stretching for 24 or 48 hours. The MTT activity of stretched cells did not change at 24 hours, whereas a significant decrease was noted at 48 hours in comparison to the unstretched controls. The flow cytometry showed that mechanical stretching induced S-phase cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, exposure to mechanical stretching led to apoptotic cell death, as shown by the increase in the hypodiploid sub-G0/G1 cell population. Furthermore, a decreased cdc25C mRNA level was consistently noted in stretched cells. However, the mRNA expressions of Bcl2, Bax, cdc2, and cyclin B1 genes were not significantly altered compared to the unstretched control cells. CONCLUSION High-level mechanical stretching induced S-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death in osteoblastic cells. The results suggest that heavy tensional force is a negative regulator of osteoblastic activities and should, therefore, be minimized if bone formation is attempted during orthodontic/orthopedic treatment.

Abstract
The influence on mucosal healing of luminal nutrient flow and the forces it creates are poorly understood. We hypothesized that altered deformation and extracellular pressure mediate, in part, the effects of defunctionalization on mucosal healing. We created patent or partially obstructing defunctionalizing jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomoses in rats to investigate mucosal healing in the absence or presence of luminal nutrient flow and measured luminal pressures to document partial obstruction. We used serosal acetic acid to induce ulcers in the proximal, distal, and defunctionalized intestinal segments. After 3 days, we assessed ulcer area, proliferation, and phosphorylated ERK. In vitro, we measured proliferation and migration in Caco-2 and IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells subjected to cyclic strain, increased extracellular pressure, or strain and pressure together. Defunctionalization of intestine without obstruction reduced phosphorylated ERK, slowed ulcer healing, and inhibited mucosal proliferation. This outcome was blocked by PD-98059. Partial obstruction delayed ulcer healing but stimulated proliferation independently of ERK. In vitro, strain increased Caco-2 and IEC-6 proliferation and reduced migration across collagen but reduced proliferation and increased migration across fibronectin. In contrast, increased pressure and the combination of pressure and strain increased proliferation and reduced migration independently of substrate. PD-98059 reduced basal migration but increased migration under pressure. These results suggest that loss of the repetitive distension may decrease mucosal healing in defunctionalized bowel, while increased luminal pressure above anastomoses or in spastic bowel disease could further inhibit mucosal healing, despite peristaltic repetitive strain. ERK may mediate the effects of repetitive deformation but not the effects of pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paradental tissues (alveolar bone, periodontal ligament (PDL), and gingiva) have the capacity to adapt to their functional environment. The principal cellular elements of the PDL play an important role in normal function, regeneration of periodontal tissue and in orthodontic treatment. Recently, several studies have shown that low-magnitude, high-frequency (LMHF) mechanical vibration can positively influence bone homeostasis; however, the mechanism and optimal conditions for LMHF mechanical vibration have not been elucidated. It has been speculated that LMHF mechanical vibration stimulations have a favourable influence on osteocytes, osteoblasts and their precursors, thereby enhancing the expression of osteoblastic genes involved in bone formation and remodelling. The objective of this study was to test the effect of LMHF mechanical vibration on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human PDL stem cells (PDLSCs). METHODS Human PDLSCs were isolated from premolar teeth and randomized into vibration (magnitude: 0.3g; frequency: 10-180 Hz; 30 min/24h) and static cultures. The effect of vibration on PDLSC proliferation, differentiation and osteogenic potential was assessed at the genetic and protein level. RESULTS After LMHF mechanical vibration, PDLSC proliferation was decreased; however, this was accompanied by increased markers of osteogenesis in a frequency-dependent manner. Specifically, alkaline phosphatase activity gradually increased with the frequency of vibration, to a peak at 50 Hz, and the level of osteocalcin was significantly higher than control following vibration at 40 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 90 Hz and 120 Hz. Levels of Col-I, Runx2 and Osterix were significantly increased by LMHF mechanical vibration at frequencies of 40 Hz and 50 Hz. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrates that LMHF mechanical vibration promotes PDLSC osteogenic differentiation and implies the existence of a frequency-dependent effect of vibration on determining PDLSC commitment to the osteoblast lineage.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament cells can potentially differentiate into osteoblast-like cells and influence the remodeling of periodontal tissues under mechanical strain conditions. In the present study, Gene chip technology was adopted to investigate the effect of the cyclic stretch on the expression of osteogenic-related genes in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Cultured HPDLCs were subjected to 12% elongation cyclic stretch for 24 h using a Flexercell Strain Unit, and then GEArray Q series human osteogenesis gene expression profile chip with 96 spot array numbers was used to conduct parallel analyses on the change of the related gene expression in the osteogenic differentiation of HPDLCs stimulated by cyclic stretch. The results show that after the HPDLCs were stimulated by the cyclic stretch, the expression of 21 osteogenic-related genes was significantly upregulated, including 10 growth factor genes and their associated molecules, 10 extracellular matrix genes and their associated proteins, and 1 cell adhesion molecule. Two genes were significantly downregulated, including one growth factor gene and one cell adhesion molecule. Then the expressions of 10 candidate genes were validated using Real-time RT-PCR. These results indicate that cyclic stretch with 12% deformation can stimulate or inhibit some gene expression which was associated with the process of HPDLCs differentiation.

Abstract
To explore the possible role for connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) during tooth movement, we evaluated CTGF gene and protein expression in MG-63 cells subjected to cyclic stretch. Cyclic stretch caused a time-dependent increase in CTGF mRNA and protein levels.Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase or ERK activation did not affect cyclic stretch-induced CTGF expression. Specific inhibitors of PI3K suppressed stretch -induced CTGF expression in a time-dependent manner. cyclic stretch activated JNK and ERK, but not p38 MAP kinase in osteoblast-like cells. PI3K inhibitors suppressed cyclic stretch-induced JNK, but not p38 MAP kinase activation. Finally, SP600125, a Specific Inhibitor of JNK, suppressed stretch -induced CTGF Expression. These results suggest that stretch-induced CTGF expression is mediated through the PI3K-JNK -dependent pathway, not by p38 MAP kinase and ERK pathways.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes a latent
infection in the host following an acute infection. Reactivation from latency
contributes to the development of KSHV-induced malignancies, which include
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), the most common cancer in untreated AIDS patients,
primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease. However,
the physiological cues that trigger KSHV reactivation remain unclear. Here, we
show that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) induces KSHV reactivation from latency through
both autocrine and paracrine signaling. Furthermore, KSHV spontaneous lytic
replication, and KSHV reactivation from latency induced by oxidative stress,
hypoxia, and proinflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines are mediated by
H2O2. Mechanistically, H2O2
induction of KSHV reactivation depends on the activation of mitogen-activated
protein kinase ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 pathways. Significantly,
H2O2 scavengers N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), catalase
and glutathione inhibit KSHV lytic replication in culture. In a mouse model of
KSHV-induced lymphoma, NAC effectively inhibits KSHV lytic replication and
significantly prolongs the lifespan of the mice. These results directly relate
KSHV reactivation to oxidative stress and inflammation, which are physiological
hallmarks of KS patients. The discovery of this novel mechanism of KSHV
reactivation indicates that antioxidants and anti-inflammation drugs could be
promising preventive and therapeutic agents for effectively targeting KSHV
replication and KSHV-related malignancies. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent of all
clinical forms of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and several other malignancies. The
life cycle of KSHV consists of latent and lytic phases. While establishment of
viral latency is essential for KSHV to evade host immune surveillances, viral
lytic replication promotes KSHV-induced malignancies. In this study, we show
that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) induces KSHV reactivation from latency.
Furthermore, induction of KSHV reactivation by oxidative stress, hypoxia, and
proinflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines, which are physiological hallmarks
in all clinical forms of KS patients, is mediated by H2O2.
Significantly, antioxidants inhibit H2O2-induced KSHV
lytic replication in culture and in a mouse model of KSHV-induced lymphoma.
These results show that ROS is likely an important physiological cue that
triggers KSHV replication. The discovery of this novel mechanism of KSHV
reactivation indicates that antioxidants and anti-inflammation drugs might be
promising preventive and therapeutic agents for effectively targeting KSHV
replication and KSHV-related malignancies.

Abstract
Bone growth and repair are under the control of biochemical and mechanical signals. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation at 30mW/cm(2) is an established, widely used and FDA approved intervention for accelerating bone healing in fractures and non-unions. Although this LIPUS signal accelerates mineralization and bone regeneration, the actual intensity experienced by the cells at the target site might be lower, due to the possible attenuation caused by the overlying soft tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate whether LIPUS intensities below 30mW/cm(2) are able to provoke phenotypic responses in bone cells. Rat bone marrow stromal cells were cultured under defined conditions and the effect of 2, 15, 30mW/cm(2) and sham treatments were studied at early (cell activation), middle (differentiation into osteogenic cells) and late (biological mineralization) stages of osteogenic differentiation. We observed that not only 30mW/cm(2) but also 2 and 15mW/cm(2), modulated ERK1/2 and p38 intracellular signaling pathways as compared to the sham treatment. After 5 days with daily treatments of 2, 15 and 30mW/cm(2), alkaline phosphatase activity, an early indicator of osteoblast differentiation, increased by 79%, 147% and 209%, respectively, compared to sham, indicating that various intensities of LIPUS were able to initiate osteogenic differentiation. While all LIPUS treatments showed higher mineralization, interestingly, the highest increase of 225% was observed in cells treated with 2mW/cm(2). As the intensity increased to 15 and 30mW/cm(2), the increase in the level of mineralization dropped to 120% and 82%. Our data show that LIPUS intensities lower than the current clinical standard have a positive effect on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells. Although Exogen™ at 30mW/cm(2) continues to be effective and should be used as a clinical therapy for fracture healing, if confirmed in vivo, the increased mineralization at lower intensities might be the first step towards redefining the most effective LIPUS intensity for clinical use.
