Arch Oral Biol 2019; 107:104495. [PMID: 31377584 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2019.104495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Revised: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cyclic tensile force (CTF) modulates physiological responses of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. PDL cells are mechanosensitive and are able to maintain tissue homeostasis; a process mediated by the expression of particular cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL6). It is unknown whether CTF-induced IL6 regulates the expression of MMPs, enzymes needed for tissue remodeling. DESIGN Human PDL cells were subjected to 10% elongation strain of CTF at a frequency of 60 rpm continuously for 6 h. RNA and proteins were extracted and analyzed for IL6 and MMP expression by quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. Using a neutralizing anti-IL6 antibody and addition of recombinant human IL6 at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10 ng.mL-1 were performed to clarify whether CTF-upregulated IL6 increased MMP expression. Inhibitors of intracellular signaling molecules were employed to reveal possible pathway(s) of IL6-induced MMP expression. RESULTS CTF-induced IL6 expression coincided with an increased MMP3 expression. A neutralizing anti-IL6 antibody attenuated the CTF-increased MMP3 expression, whereas stimulating the cells with recombinant human IL6 increased MMP3 expression. Both PI3K and MAPK pathways were essential in the IL6 induced expression of MMP3. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest a role of CTF in the modulation of expression of IL6 and MMP3 and thus in the regulation of homeostasis and remodeling of the periodontal ligament.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Ethanol, Periodontal ligament, Extracellular matrix, Orthodontic movement. Alcohol is a legal drug present in several drinks commonly used worldwide (chemically known as ethyl alcohol or ethanol). Alcohol consumption is associated with several disease conditions, ranging from mental disorders to organic alterations. One of the most deleterious effects of ethanol metabolism is related to oxidative stress. This promotes cellular alterations associated with inflammatory processes that eventually lead to cell death or cell cycle arrest, among others. Alcohol intake leads to bone destruction and modifies the expression of interleukins, metalloproteinases and other pro-inflammatory signals involving GSKβ, Rho, and ERK pathways. Orthodontic treatment implicates mechanical forces on teeth. Interestingly, the extra- and intra-cellular responses of periodontal cells to mechanical movement show a suggestive similarity with the effects induced by ethanol metabolism on bone and other cell types. Several clinical traits such as age, presence of systemic diseases or pharmacological treatments, are taken into account when planning orthodontic treatments. However, little is known about the potential role of the oxidative conditions induced by ethanol intake as a possible setback for orthodontic treatment in adults.

Abstract
Orthodontic force induces biochemical responses in the periodontal ligament (PDL), but the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-dependent molecular mechanisms in orthodontically induced periodontal remodeling have remained unclear. Previous studies indicate that mechanical stress induces MMP-1 production in human PDL cells in vitro. We tested the hypothesis whether the in vivo levels, molecular forms, and degree of activation of MMP-1 and MMP-8 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) reflect an early stage of orthodontic tooth movement. Molecular forms of MMP-1 and MMP-8 were analyzed by Western blot, and MMP-8 levels by quantitative immunofluoro-metric assay (IFMA). The results showed that GCF MMP-8 levels for orthodontically treated teeth were significantly higher at 4-8 hrs after force application than before activation, and when compared with the control teeth (p < 0.05). Analysis of our data indicates that the cells within the periodontium are up-regulated to produce MMP-8, and the increased expression and activation of GCF MMP-8 reflect enhanced periodontal remodeling induced by orthodontic force.

Abstract
PurposeDuring orthodontic treatment, the early response of periodontal tissues to mechanical stress involves several metabolic changes that allow tooth movement. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate osteopontin (OPN) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of human teeth exposed to orthodontic force.Materials and MethodsGCF samples were obtained from 15 healthy orthodontic patients (age, 12-22 years). In each patient, the left maxillary canine having the fixed orthodontic appliance was used as the test tooth, and its antagonist, with no appliance, was the control. Orthodontic force, 75 g was applied using a 16 × 22 beta titanium closing loop. The GCF sampling on the disto-buccal aspects of experimental and control tooth was performed at specific time interval with sterilized absorbent paper point. Processing was carried out with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect OPN and MMP-7 levels.ResultsThe peak level of OPN was seen after 1 h application of orthodontic force which was 1280.36 pg/ml ± 185.02. The peak level of MMP-7 was seen at 0 h which was 598.3 pg/ml ± 107.5. The levels of OPN after 1 h increased to 1280.36 pg/ml ± 185.02, and they decreased at 24 h to 1012.86 pg/ml ± 168.47 (P= 0.001). The levels of MMP-7 after 1 h decreased to 478 pg/ml ± 99.7 which increased at 24 h to 526.9 pg/ml ± 99.2.ConclusionsOrthodontic forces affect both OPN and MMP-7 protein levels on the compression side in a time-dependent fashion.

Abstract
Eruption requires synchrony of the tooth with the surrounding tissues, particularly the bone. One important step during eruption is remodelling of the alveolar bone at the base of the tooth and along the roots. Expression of BMP6 was reported to be increased in the basal half of the dental follicle prior to eruption and inhibition of BMP6 affected bone formation at the base of the alveolar crypt. The aim of this study was to further investigate BMP6 protein in relation to tooth eruption and the corresponding bone remodelling using temporospatial correlations of BMP6 localization with morphogenetic events (proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and bone apposition/resorption), other BMPs (BMP2 and BMP7) and three-dimensional images of tooth-bone development. BMP6 expression pattern was mapped in the mandibular molar teeth and related structures around eruption. Localization of BMP6 dominated in osteoblasts, in regions of bone formation within the alveolar crypt. These findings positively correlated with proliferation at the tooth base region, osteocalcin expression in the osteoblasts/osteocytes and BMP2 and BMP7 presence in the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth. Osteoclast activity and apoptotic elimination in the root region gradually decreased before eruption and totally ceased at eruption stages. Generally, BMP6 positively correlated with BMP2, BMP7 and osteocalcin-positive osteoblasts, and areas of bone remodelling. Moreover, BMP6 was found in the periodontium and cementoblasts. BMP6 expression in the alveolar bone accompanied tooth eruption. Notably, the expression pattern of BMP6 in the bone did not differ around individual molar teeth at the same stage of development. The expression of BMP6 in periodontal ligaments may contribute to interaction between the tooth and bone during the eruption and anchoring process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES RhoE and regulator of G-proteins signalling (RGS) 2 were identified as the up-regulated genes in human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells under compression. RhoE belongs to the Rho GTPase family, and RGS2, a novel family of GTPase-activating proteins, turns off the G-protein signalling. Rho family proteins have recently been known to regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics in various cell types. In this study, we investigated the involvement of RhoE and RGS2 in the regulation of actin filament organization in the PDL cells under mechanical stress. METHODS Human PDL cells were cultured and subjected to a static compressive force (3.0g/cm(2)) for 48h. To observe changes in the actin cytoskeleton and the expression of RhoE and RGS2 in response to mechanical stress, immunofluorescence analysis was performed. To examine the role of RhoE and RGS2 in actin filament organization, cells were transfected with antisense S-oligonucleotides (ODNs) to RhoE and RGS2. RESULTS Compressive force caused a loss and disassembly of actin stress fibres leading to cell spreading. Immunocytochemical study revealed that RhoE and RGS2 expressions were induced by mechanical stress and localized in the perinuclear and in the cell membrane, respectively. The impaired formation of stress fibres caused by compressive forces was recovered by treatment with antisense S-ODN to RhoE to the control levels. However, addition of antisense S-ODN to RGS2 did not affect the stress fibre formation. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the loss and disassembly of stress fibres due to mechanical stress are mediating RhoE signalling, without the exertion of RGS2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE During orthodontic therapy the correct strength of mechanical strain plays a key role for bone remodelling during tooth movement. Aim of this study was to investigate the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPdLF) depending on the applied strength of mechanical strain compared to osteoblasts (HOB). DESIGN HPdLF and HOB were loaded with different strengths (1%, 5% and 10%) of static mechanical strain (SMS) for 12h in vitro. Viability was verified by MTT and apoptosis by TUNEL assay. Gene expression of cyclin D1, collagen type-1 (COL-I), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL) were investigated using RT-PCR. OPG and RANKL synthesis was measured by ELISA and ALP activity by colorimetric assay. RESULTS 10% of SMS led to a decrease in cell viability of both cells lines, but no increased rate of apoptosis. RT-PCR showed the highest increase of cyclin D1 expression for HPdLF and HOB when applied to 5% of SMS, and HOB showed a doubling of COL-I gene expression. HPdLF and HOB showed a strength-dependent synthesis of OPG and ALP activity, whereas HOB demonstrated a decrease in OPG synthesis and ALP activity when applied to 10% of SMS. CONCLUSION Osteogenic differentiation of HPdLF correlates with increasing strength of SMS. HOB show decreased activity when applied to high SMS, demonstrating potential damage to the bone remodelling due to strain of high strength. SMS up to 5% provides the best conditions for bone formation at the tension site of tooth movement.

Abstract
Type I collagen (COL I) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) are the predominant matrix proteins in the extracellular matrix of the human periodontal ligament (PDL). The expression of these proteins in PDL fibroblasts (PLF) is sensitive to physiological and mechanical stress and is critical for PDL remodeling accompanied by alveolar bone remodeling. This study examined how dose tensile force regulates the expression of COL I and MMP-1 and explored the possible roles of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and transcription factors, such as activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Tensile force stimulated the mRNA expression of COL I and MMP-1 in the cells and also activated MAPKs including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK. A pharmacological inhibitor of ERK or JNK prevented the expression of matrix genes and the nuclear translocation of c-Jun proteins in the force-applied PLF. The knockdown of c-Jun by transfecting the cells with its antisense oligonucleotides reduced the force-induced increase in matrix gene expression. In particular, the ERK inhibitor but not JNK or p38 MAPK inhibitor attenuated the force-mediated stimulation of NF-κB-DNA binding and MMP-1 expression. Overall, these results highlight the mechanotransduction pathways involved in matrix gene expression in PLF, where the tension-stimulated expression of COL I and MMP-1 is controlled by the ERK/JNK-AP-1 and ERK-NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Maspin is a 42 kDa serine protease inhibitor that possesses tumor suppressive and anti-angiogenic activities. Despite of a huge amount of data concerning the expression pattern of maspin in various tissues and its relevance to the biological properties of a variety of human cancer cells, little is known on the maspin expression in skeletal and tooth tissues. Recently, we reported that maspin may play an important role in extracellular matrix formation in bone by enhancing the accumulation of latent TGF-β in the extracellular matrix. This study was performed to elucidate the possible role of maspin in tooth development. First, an immunohistochemical analysis for human tooth germs at the late bell stage showed the expression of maspin by active ameloblasts and odontoblasts that were forming enamel and dentin, respectively. During rat tooth development, maspin expression was observed for the first time in inner and outer enamel epithelial cells and dental papilla cells at early bell stage. The neutralizing anti-maspin antibody inhibited the proper dental tissue formation in organ cultures of mandibular first molars obtained from 21-day-old rat embryos. In addition, the proliferation of HAT-7 cells, a rat odontogenic epithelial cell line, and human dental papilla cells were suppressed in a dose-dependent manner with anti-maspin antibody. Moreover, RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of mRNA for tooth-related genes including dentin matrix protein 1, dentin sialophosphoprotein and osteopontin in human dental papilla cells was inhibited when treated with anti-maspin antibody. These findings suggest that maspin expressed in ameloblasts and odontoblasts plays an important physiological role in tooth development through the regulation of matrix formation in dental tissues.

Abstract
Orthodontic forces deform the extracellular matrix and activate cells of the paradental tissues, facilitating tooth movement. Discoveries in mechanobiology have illuminated sequential cellular and molecular events, such as signal generation and transduction, cytoskeletal re-organization, gene expression, differentiation, proliferation, synthesis and secretion of specific products, and apoptosis. Orthodontists work in a unique biological environment, wherein applied forces engender remodeling of both mineralized and non-mineralized paradental tissues, including the associated blood vessels and neural elements. This review aims at identifying events that affect the sequence, timing, and significance of factors that determine the nature of the biological response of each paradental tissue to orthodontic force. The results of this literature review emphasize the fact that mechanoresponses and inflammation are both essential for achieving tooth movement clinically. If both are working in concert, orthodontists might be able to accelerate or decelerate tooth movement by adding adjuvant methods, whether physical, chemical, or surgical.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nifedipine on periodontal ligament remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an orthodontic group and groups that received either 10 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg nifedipine (NIF). Immunohistochemical staining and image analysis were used to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, -10, -13 and collagen-I in PDL, and maxillary 1st molar displacement was measured. RESULTS Expression of MMP-1, -10, and -13 was significantly decreased in both NIF groups, while collagen-I expression was markedly increased. NIF significantly inhibited tooth movement. CONCLUSIONS NIF affects the expression of MMP-1, -10, -13 and collagen-I and tooth movement induced by orthodontic force in rats, thus indicating that calcium channels might be important in mediating PDL remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The studies on biomechanics of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are mainly performed at analytical, tissue and cellular levels. The prime aim of this study was to elucidate the periodontal response to orthodontic force loading by integrating biomechanical and biological approaches. METHODS We designed and conducted a multilevel study consisting of three parts. (1) At the analytical/theoretical level, 3D finite element (FE) method was used to analyze stress distribution and changing during OTM. (2) At the tissue level, we explored the effects of tensile and compressive forces on the expressions of Type I collagen, matrix metalloproteinases Type I (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase Type I (TIMP-1) in rat's periodontal ligament (PDL) in vivo. (3) At the cellular level, we studied the effects of variant strain patterns and magnitudes on functional expression of rat's osteoblasts in vitro. FINDINGS (1) In the 3D FE model, the canine tipping and bodily movements showed different ways in stress distribution and degeneration. However, in both tooth movement modalities, tensile zones and compressive zones had similar stress distribution pattern. (2) Tensile and compressive forces imposed different effects on the expressions of Type I collagen, MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in PDL, with Type I collagen and TIMP-1being increased significantly in the tensile zones and MMP-1 being increased significantly in both zones. (3) Differences in strain pattern (dynamic vs. static) and magnitude (light vs. heavy) resulted in different levels of osteoblast's functional expression indicated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC). It was found that dynamic loading was more effective for ALP expression whilst static loading was more effective for OC secretion and 3kPa strain force in vitro was optimal for the both. INTERPRETATION It is suggested that there may exist an optimal force system in both magnitude and pattern of loading that could induce efficient OTM.

Abstract
Mechanical stress is thought to regulate the expression of genes in the periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. Using a microarray approach, we recently identified a regulator of G-protein signaling 2 (RGS2) as an up-regulated gene in the PDL cells under compressive force. The RGS protein family is known to turn off G-protein signaling. G-protein signaling involves the production of cAMP, which is thought to be one of the biological mediators in response to mechanical stress. Here, we investigated the role of RGS2 in the PDL cells under mechanical stress. PDL cells derived from the ligament tissues of human premolar teeth were cultured in collagen gels and subjected to static compressive force. Compressive force application time-dependently enhanced RGS2 expression and intracellular cAMP levels. To examine the interrelationship between RGS2 and cAMP, the PDL cells were treated with 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (DDA), an inhibitor of adenyl cyclase, or antisense S-oligonucleotide (S-ODN) to RGS2 under compressive force. DDA dose-dependently inhibited RGS2 stimulated by compressive force. Blockage of RGS2 by antisense S-ODN elevated the cAMP levels compared with controls. These results indicate that cAMP stimulates RGS2 expression, which in turn leads to a decrease in the cAMP production by inactivating the G-protein signaling in the mechanically stressed PDL cells.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by the remodeling of periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone in response to mechanical loading and is believed to be mediated by several host mediators, such as cytokines. By means of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we studied the pattern of expression of mRNA encoding several pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in relation to several extracellular matrix and bone remodeling markers, in tension (T) and compression (C) sides of the PDL of human teeth subjected to rapid maxillary expansion. The PDL of normal teeth was used as a control. The results showed that both T and C sides exhibited significantly higher expression of all targets when compared with controls, except for type I collagen (COL-I) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) on the C side. Comparing C and T sides, the C side exhibited higher expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), whereas the T side presented higher expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10), TIMP-1, COL-I, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and osteocalcin (OCN). The expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) was similar in both C and T sides. Our data demonstrate a differential expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in compressed and stretched PDL during orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Differential expression of genes in human periodontal ligament (PDL) under mechanical stress, such as orthodontic force, is thought to be involved in the remodeling of PDL cells and periodontal tissues. However, little is known about the genes expressed in PDL cells under mechanical stress. MATERIAL AND METHODS We employed microarray analysis to assess, in a comprehensive manner, the gene expression profiles in PDL cells compressed by a static force using an in vitro three-dimensional culture system. Six genes were selected and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis, consistent with the microarray data. RESULTS The microarray data revealed that 108 of 30,000 genes tested were differentially expressed by mechanical force loading. Among them, 85 genes were up-regulated by mechanical stress, while 23 genes were down-regulated, judging by the thresholds of a two-fold increase/decrease compared with the controls. Thirty-two of the up-regulated and eight of the down-regulated genes, well-characterized in protein function, were involved in numerous biological processes including cell communication, cell signaling, cell cycle, stress response, and calcium release. However, several genes differentially expressed in our microarray data have not been well defined as stress-response molecules. CONCLUSION Our microarray is the first to show the gene profile in PDL cells caused by mechanical stress; however, further studies to clarify the physiological function of these molecules in PDL cells are required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During orthodontic treatment, the early response of periodontal tissues to mechanical stress involves several metabolic changes that allow tooth movement. Many studies have evaluated these modifications through the analysis of various metabolites released into gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-2 in the GCF of human teeth exposed to orthodontic force on both the tension and compression sides in the initial phase of orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS GCF samples were obtained from 11 healthy orthodontic patients (8 girls, 3 boys; age, 13-15 years; mean, 13.9 years) who needed their 4 first premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons. In each patient, the left maxillary canine having the fixed orthodontic appliance was used as the test tooth, and its antagonist, with no appliance, was the control tooth. Orthodontic force was applied by using a Sentalloy coil-spring (GAC International, Bohemia, NY) of 150 g. The GCF sampling on the mesiobuccal and distobuccal aspects of each experimental and control tooth was performed at specific times up to 8 hours with paper strips. Processing was carried out with western blot analysis to detect MMP-1 and MMP-2 levels on the compression and tension sides. RESULTS Compression force induced a significant increase of MMP-1 protein after 1 hour; the increase lasted until the third hour of force application and disappeared thereafter. The tension force induced significantly increased levels of the MMP-1 protein after just 1 hour of force application. MMP-2 protein was induced by compression and increased significantly in a time-dependent fashion, reaching a peak after 8 hours of force application. On the tension side, MMP-2 was significantly increased after 1 hour but gradually returned to basal levels within 8 hours. CONCLUSIONS Orthodontic forces affect both MMP-1 and MMP-2 protein levels on the compression and the tension sides, although to different extents, whereas MMP-1 and MMP-2 protein levels change in a time-dependent fashion.

Abstract
Tooth eruption is a multifactorial process involving movement of existing tissues and formation of new tissues coordinated by a complex set of genetic events. We have used the model of the unopposed rodent molar to study morphological and genetic mechanisms involved in axial movement of teeth. Following extraction of opposing upper molars, lower molars supererupted by 0.13 mm. Labeled tissue sections revealed significant amounts of new bone and cementum apposition at the root apex of the unopposed side following supereruption for 12 days. Newly apposited cementum and alveolar bone layers were approximately 3-fold thicker in the experimental vs the control group, whereas periodontal ligament width was maintained. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining indicated bone resorption at the mesial alveolar walls of unopposed molars and provided in tandem with new bone formation at the distal alveolar walls an explanation for the distal drift of molars in this model. Microarray analysis and semiquantitative RT-PCR demonstrated a significant increase in collagen I, integrin beta5, and SPARC gene expression as revealed by comparison between the unopposed molar group and the control group. Immunohistochemical verification revealed increased levels of integrin beta5 and SPARC labeling in the periodontal ligament of the unopposed molar. Together our findings suggest that posteruptive axial movement of teeth was accomplished by significant formation of new root cementum and alveolar bone at the root apex in tandem with upregulation of collagen I, integrin beta5, and SPARC gene expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to isolate mechanical stress-induced genes (MSGens) from human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells and to analyze profiles of the mRNA expression of these genes. BACKGROUND Differential expression of genes in PDL cells under physiological stress such as occlusal force is thought to be orchestrated not only for the remodeling of PDL itself but also for the repair and regeneration of periodontal tissues. However, little is known about the genes expressed in PDL cells under mechanical stress. METHODS The cDNA from mechanical stress-applied human PDL cells was subtracted against the cDNA from static control cells. The subtracted cDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned for further analysis. RESULTS Among 68 independent clones isolated, 15 contained DNA fragments greater than 250 bp. Reverse Northern analysis revealed a marked induction of MSGen-15 and MSGen-28 mRNA expression in the mechanical stress-applied cells. However, little difference in the magnitude of expression for the other MSGens was detected between the stress-applied cells and the control cells. After nucleotide sequencing and the analysis of homology with known genes, five clones were identified; ribosomal protein S27 (MSGen-9), MRG 15 (MSGen-15), androgen-binding protein (MSGen-18), cathepsin H (MSGen-28), and cytochrome c (MSGen-47). Interestingly, it has been reported that MRG 15 is a novel transcription factor involved in the regulation of cell growth and senescence. The remaining 10 clones, classified into six sequence types, had no significant homology with any known genes. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that many known and unknown genes are expressed in response to mechanical stress in PDL cells, and that a transcription factor, MRG 15, may be responsible for molecular events in PDL cells under mechanical stress.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and MMP-13 in forming periodontium during tooth eruption in the rat. RT-PCR for the decalcified paraffin sections indicated expression of MMP-8 and MMP-13 in the periodontal tissues. In situ hydridization demonstrated expression of MMP-8 in osteoblasts, osteocytes, periodontal ligament cells, cementoblasts, and cementocytes along with collagen types I and III. In contrast, transcripts of MMP-13 were confined to a small population of osteoblasts and osteocytes in alveolar bone. The results suggested that MMP-8 may be involved in remodeling the periodontium during tooth eruption, and its expression may be coordinated with that of collagen types I and III, whereas the participation of MMP-13 may be rather limited.

Abstract
Intracellular signals generated by mechanical strain profoundly affect the metabolic function of osteoblast-like periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, which reside between the tooth and alveolar bone. In response to applied mechanical forces, PDL cells synthesize bone-resorptive cytokines to induce bone resorption at sites exposed to compressive forces and deposit bone at sites exposed to tensile forces in an environment primed for catabolic processes. The intracellular mechanisms that regulate this bone remodeling remain unclear. Here, in an in vitro model system, we show that tensile strain is a critical determinant of PDL-cell metabolic functions. Equibiaxial tensile strain (TENS), when applied at low magnitudes, acts as a potent antagonist of interleukin (IL)-1beta actions and suppresses transcriptional regulation of multiple proinflammatory genes. This is evidenced by the fact that TENS at low magnitude: (i) inhibits recombinant human (rh)IL-1beta-dependent induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression and production of prostaglandin estradiol (PGE2); (ii) inhibits rhIL-1beta-dependent induction matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3 synthesis by suppressing their mRNA expression; (iii) abrogates rhIL-1beta-induced suppression of tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-II (TIMP-II) expression; and (iv) reverses IL-1beta-dependent suppression of osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase synthesis. Nevertheless, these actions of TENS were observed only in the presence of IL-1beta, as TENS alone failed to affect any of the aforementioned responses. The present findings are the first to show that intracellular signals generated by low-magnitude mechanical strain interfere with one or more critical step(s) in the signal transduction cascade of rhIL-1beta upstream of mRNA expression, while concurrently promoting the expression of osteogenic proteins in PDL cells.

Abstract
Applied mechanical loading induces inflammation in the periodontal ligament (PDL). However, the mechanisms involved in bone deposition at tension sites in an inflammatory environment are not clear. Here, in an in vitro model system, we show that equibiaxial tensile strain of low magnitude (TENS) provokes potent anti-inflammatory signals in PDL cells. TENS inhibits IL-1beta-induced synthesis of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 by inhibiting their mRNA expression, and thus significantly suppresses the amplification of IL-1beta-induced inflammatory responses in PDL cells. Additionally, as an anti-inflammatory signal, TENS induces IL-10 synthesis in the presence and absence of IL-1beta. These observations are the first to demonstrate that TENS antagonizes IL-1beta actions on PDL cells by (i) inhibiting IL-1beta-induced transcriptional regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, and (ii) inducing synthesis of IL-10, which may post-transcriptionally suppress the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Although the periodontal ligament (PL) contains an abundance of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), there are only a few histochemical studies describing GAGs in the developing PL. In the present study, the relationship between the formation of principal fibers and the molecular species of GAGs in the developing PL was examined by light microscopic histochemistry. Jcl:ICR mice were killed on day 0 to day 28 after birth. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were routinely made and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), Azan, or the sensitized high iron diamine (S-HID) procedure combined with enzyme digestions. Before tooth eruption, thin threads of collagen fibers in the PL assembled and constructed principal fibers, which projected from both the side of the alveolar bone and the root of the tooth. After tooth eruption, the principal fibers from both sides were tightly entangled. In the developing PL, the molecular species of GAGs was mainly dermatan sulfate. Moreover, the relative amount of dermatan sulfate increased together with the maturation of the principal fibers, while the principal fibers adjacent to the alveolar bone and cementum contained chondroitin sulfate. These results suggest that dermatan sulfate contributes to collagen fiber assembly in the PL and that chondroitin sulfate relates to PL adhesion to the alveolar bone and to the cementum of the root.

Abstract
During orthodontic tooth movement, mechanical forces acting on periodontal ligament (PDL) cells induce the synthesis of mediators which alter the growth, differentiation, and secretory functions of cells of the PDL. Since the cells of the PDL represent a heterogeneous population, we examined mechanically stress-induced cytokine profiles in three separate clones of human osteoblast-like PDL cells. Of the four pro-inflammatory cytokines investigated, only IL-6 and TGF-beta1 were up-regulated in response to mechanical stress. However, the expression of other pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, or IL-8 was not observed. To understand the consequences of the increase in TGF-beta1 expression following mechanical stress, we examined the effect of TGF-beta1 on PDL cell phenotype and functions. TGF-beta1 was mitogenic to PDL cells at concentrations between 0.4 and 10 ng/mL. Furthermore, TGF-beta1 down-regulated the osteoblast-like phenotype of PDL cells, i.e., alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium phosphate nodule formation, expression of osteocalcin, and TGF-beta1, in a dose-dependent manner. Although initially TGF-beta1 induced expression of type I collagen mRNA, prolonged exposure to TGF-beta1 down-regulated the ability of PDL cells to express type I collagen mRNA. Our results further show that, within 4 hrs, exogenously applied TGF-beta1 down-regulated IL-6 expression in a dose-dependent manner, and this inhibition was sustained over a six-day period. In summary, the data suggest that mechanically stress-induced TGF-beta1 expression may be a physiological mechanism to induce mitogenesis in PDL cells while down-regulating its osteoblast-like features and simultaneously reducing the IL-6-induced bone resorption.

Abstract
Bone remodeling in response to force requires the coordinated action of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and periodontal ligament cells. Coordination among these cells may be mediated, in part, by cell-to-cell communication via gap junctions. This study tests the hypothesis that the regulation of expression of connexin 43, a gap junction protein, is part of the transduction mechanism between force as applied to bone during orthodontic tooth movement and bone remodeling. To test this hypothesis, we examined connexin 433 expression in a rat model system of experimental tooth movement. To establish the model, we extracted maxillary first molars to initiate supra-eruption of opposing mandibular molars. The rats were killed at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hrs post-extraction. The mandibles were removed, demineralized, and embedded in paraffin. To localize connexin 43 protein and mRNA, we used a specific antibody for immunohistochemistry and a specific cDNA probe for in situ hybridization. Western and Northern blot analyses were used to assess the specificity of the connexin 43 antibody and cDNA probe, respectively. We found connexin 43 protein expressed by osteoclasts (++ ++) and periodontal ligament cells (++ +) in compression zones, and by osteoblasts (++ ++) and osteocytes (++ ++) in tension zones of the periodontal ligament. In addition, connexin 43 mRNA was found in some bone and periodontal ligament cells. Connexin 43 protein was found, by densitometric analysis, to be higher in the periodontal ligament after exposure to force compared with controls (P < 0.001). The number of osteocytes expressing connexin 43 48 hrs after molar extraction was also significantly greater in bone subjected to tension when compared with controls (P < 0.001). The results of this study support the hypothesis that connexin 43 plays a role in the coordination of events during experimentally induced alveolar bone remodeling.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that the remodeling processes of adult periodontal ligament (PDL) reiterate the cellular and molecular events that occur sequentially during development. Type XII collagen has been implicated in the three-dimensional organization of the PDL extracellular matrix, and its expression has been restricted to the terminally differentiated stages. This study focused on the examination of the temporal and spatial expression of type XII collagen during experimental PDL remodeling in the rat. The temporal expressions of types I and XII collagen mRNAs were examined by RNA transfer blot and RNase protection assays, respectively, and were found to be relatively stable in the control group throughout the experimental period. In the tooth movement group, the expression of type I collagen increased at 72 hours and sustained the high level of expression at one week, while an increase in the expression of type XII collagen was first noted at the one-week period. The temporal activation of types I and XII collagen expression in the remodeling occurred in a pattern similar to that found during the development of the PDL. The spatial expression of type XII collagen mRNA was examined by in situ hybridization in the one-week-tooth-movement specimens. Labeled cells, which were more evident in the tension side, typically exhibited a spindle shape and were surrounded by the mature PDL matrix. Our data suggest that the type XII collagen expression may be closely associated with the functional regeneration of the PDL.
