Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anterior disc displacement (ADD) has been used to establish temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) models. Based on whether preserve of the retrodiscal attachment, the modelling methodologies include ADD with dissecting the retrodiscal attachment (ADDwd) and ADD without dissecting the retrodiscal attachment (ADDwod). This article aims to determine which model better matches the micromechanical and microstructural progression of TMD. METHODS Through meticulous microscopic observations, the microstructure and micromechanical deformation of the TMJ discs in ADDwd and ADDwod rabbit models were compared at 2 and 20 weeks. RESULT Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that collagen fibres became slenderized and straightened, collagen fibrils lost diameter and arrangement in the ADDwd group at 2 weeks. Meanwhile, nanoindentation and atomic electron microscopy showed that the micro- and nano- mechanical properties decreased dramatically. However, the ADDwod group exhibited no significant microstructure and micromechanical deformations at 2 weeks. Dissection of the retrodiscal attachment contribute in the acceleration of disease progression at the early stage, the devastating discal phenotype remained fundamentally the same within the two models at 20 weeks. CONCLUSION ADDwod models, induced stable and persistent disc deformation, therefore, can better match the progression of TMD. While ADDwd models can be considered for experiments which aim to obtain advanced phenotype in a short time.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the bite forces of seven species from three carnivore families: Canidae, Felidae, and Ursidae. The material consisted of complete, dry crania and mandibles. A total of 33 measurements were taken on each skull, mandible, temporomandibular joint, and teeth. The area of the temporalis and masseter muscles was calculated, as was the length of the arms of the forces acting on them. Based on the results, the bite force was calculated using a mathematical lever model. This study compared the estimated areas of the masticatory muscles and the bending strength of the upper canines among seven species. A strong correlation was found between cranial size and bite force. The results confirmed the hypothesis that the weight of the animal and the size of the skull have a significant effect on the bite force.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is an inflammatory disease that can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and lower jaw growth. Better treatment options are needed, so this study investigated the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on TMJ arthritis. Seventy-two 3-week-old male Wistar rats were in vivo microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scanned and divided into eight groups (n = 9). These groups were Group 1-TMJ arthritis and immediate LIPUS treatment (20 min/day, 4 weeks); Group 2-immediate LIPUS treatment and no TMJ arthritis; Group 3-TMJ arthritis and no LIPUS; Group 4-no TMJ arthritis and no LIPUS; Group 5-TMJ arthritis and LIPUS treatment with a delayed start by 4 weeks; Group 6-Delayed LIPUS and no TMJ arthritis; Group 7-TMJ arthritis and no (delayed) LIPUS; and Group 8-no TMJ arthritis and no (delayed) LIPUS. Ex vivo micro-CT scanning was completed, and samples were prepared for tissue analysis. Synovitis was observed in the TMJ arthritis (collagen-induced arthritis [CIA]) groups, but the severity appeared greater in the groups without LIPUS treatment. Fibrocartilage and hypertrophic cell layer thicknesses in the CIA group without LIPUS treatment were significantly greater (p < 0.05). Proteoglycan staining appeared greater in the LIPUS groups. Immediate LIPUS treatment increased the expression of type II collagen, type X collagen, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) immunostaining, and CIA (no LIPUS) increased MMP-13, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) immunostaining. LIPUS treatment prevented growth disturbances observed in the CIA groups (no LIPUS) (p < 0.005). Our results have contributed to the understanding of the uses and limitations of the CIA juvenile rat model and have demonstrated the effects of LIPUS on the TMJ and mandibular growth. This information will help in designing future studies for investigating LIPUS and TMJ arthritis, leading to the development of new treatment options for children with juvenile arthritis in their TMJs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We explored whether hyperlipidemia or combination of hyperlipidemia and E2 could induce TMJOA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups of female rats were treated with normal diet, normal diet with E2, high-fat diet, and high-fat diet with E2 (HFD/E2), respectively, to induce TMJOA till 8 weeks. Another three groups were then used for COX2 inhibitor celecoxib to block the induction of TMJOA. Primary condylar chondrocytes were treated with combination of E2, ox-LDL, and corresponding inhibitors for evaluating expressions of related molecules. RESULTS Condylar cartilage proliferation with plenty of chondrocyte apoptosis and increased staining for LOX1, nuclear NF-κB, IL-1β, and COX2 at 4 weeks and decreased condylar cartilage and increased subchondral bone density at 8 weeks were observed only in the HFD/E2 group. Celecoxib significantly alleviated the cartilage proliferation and apoptosis in the HFD/E2 group. Serum ox-LDL increased in both high-fat diet groups, while serum IL-1β increased only in the HFD/E2 group. Combination of E2 and ox-LDL synergistically induced expressions of LOX1, phosphorylated NF-κB, IL-1β, and COX2, while LOX1 inhibitor blocked the induction of phosphorylated NF-κB, and NF-κB inhibitor the induction of IL-1β, and IL-1β inhibitor the induction of COX2. CONCLUSION Combination of hyperlipidemia and E2-induced TMJOA-like pathological changes through LOX1/NF-κB/IL-1β/COX2-signaling pathway.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic condition characterized by pain and infiltration of immune cells into the joint. Immune cells can be activated, producing inflammatory cytokines, leading to continuously degenerative and inflammatory reactions and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be affected by RA. In this scenario, novel targets are needed to increase treatment efficacy with minimized side effects. The epoxy-eicosatrienoic acids (EETs), are endogenous signaling molecules, playing important roles in diminishing inflammation and pain but are promptly metabolized by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), generating less-bioactive acids.Therefore, sEH inhibitors is an interest therapeutic target to enhance the beneficial effect of natural EETs. TPPU is a potent sEH inhibitor that is capable of dampening EETs hydrolysis. Thus, we aimed to assess the impact of pharmacological sEH inhibition on a persistent model of albumin-induced arthritis in the TMJ, in two scenarios: first, as post-treatment, in an installed arthritic condition, and second, the protective role, in preventing the development of an arthritic condition. In addition, we investigate the influence of sEH inhibition on microglia cell activation in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (TSC) and in vitro experiments. Finally, we examined the astrocyte phenotype. Oral administration of TPPU, acts in multiple pathways, in a protective and reparative post-treatment, ameliorating the preservation of the TMJ morphology, reducing the hypernociception, with an immunosuppressive action reducing neutrophil and lymphocytes and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TMJ of rats. In TSC, TPPU reduces the cytokine storm and attenuates the microglia activated P2X7/Cathepsin S/Fractalkine pathway and reduces the astrocyte activation and glutamate levels. Collectively, our findings revealed that sEH inhibition mitigates hypersensitive nociception through the regulation of microglia activation and astrocyte modulation, demonstrating the potential use of sEH inhibitors as immunoresolvents in the treatment of autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study reviewed the literature to summarize the current and recent knowledge of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). Methods: Through a literature review, this work summarizes many concepts related to TMJOA. Results: Although many signaling pathways have been investigated, the etiopathogenesis of TMJOA remains unclear. Some clinical signs are suggestive of TMJOA; however, diagnosis is mainly based on radiological findings. Treatment options include noninvasive, minimally invasive, and surgical techniques. Several study models have been used in TMJOA studies because there is no gold standard model. Conclusion: More research is needed to develop curative treatments for TMJOA, which could be tested with reliable in vitro models, and to explore tissue engineering to regenerate damaged temporomandibular joints.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a common degenerative joint disease that can cause severe pain and dysfunction. It has a serious impact on the quality of lives of patients. Since mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of TMJOA is not fully understood, the development of effective tools for early diagnosis and disease-modifying therapies has been hindered. Animal models play a key role in understanding the pathological process of diseases and evaluating new therapeutic interventions. Although some similarities in disease processes between animals and humans are known, no one animal model is sufficient for studying all characteristics of TMJOA, as each model has different translatability to human clinical conditions. For the past 4 decades, TMJOA animal models have been studied by numerous researchers and can be broadly divided into induced, naturally occurring, and genetically modified models. The induced models can be divided into invasive models (intra-articular injection and surgical induction) or non-invasive models (mechanical loading, high-fat diet, and sleep deprivation). Different types of animal models simulate different pathological expressions of TMJOA and have their unique characteristics. Currently, mice, rats, and rabbits are commonly used in the study of TMJOA. This review sought to provide a general description of current experimental models of TMJOA and assist researchers in selecting the most appropriate models for different kinds of research.

Abstract
Recently, it has been reported that γδ T cells are associated with the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, there are many uncertainties about their relationship. In this study, we investigated the morphological and histological properties of peripheral as well as temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis with and without exposure to mechanical strain on the TMJ. Collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) was induced by administering collagen type II antibody and lipopolysaccharide to male DBA/1JNCrlj mice at 9-12 weeks of age, and mechanical stress (MS) was applied to the mandibular condyle. After 14 days, 3D morphological evaluation by micro-CT, histological staining (Hematoxylin Eosin, Safranin O, and Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase staining), and immunohistochemical staining (ADAMTS-5 antibody, CD3 antibody, CD45 antibody, RORγt antibody, γδ T cell receptor antibody) were performed. The lower jawbone was collected. The mandibular condyle showed a rough change in the surface of the mandibular condyle based on three-dimensional analysis by micro-CT imaging. Histological examination revealed bone and cartilage destruction, such as a decrease in chondrocyte layer width and an increase in the number of osteoclasts in the mandibular condyle. Then, immune-histological staining revealed accumulation of T and γδ T cells in the subchondral bone. The temporomandibular joint is less sensitive to the onset of RA, but it has been suggested that it is exacerbated by mechanical stimulation. Additionally, the involvement of γδ T cells was suggested as the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) causes severe symptoms such as chewing difficulties, acute pain and even maxillofacial deformity. However, there is hardly any effective disease-curing strategy because of uncertainty in aetiology. Animal model is an excellent tool to investigate the mechanism, prevention and treatment on diseases. Currently, although several TMJ-OA animal models have been established, there are almost no comparative studies on different models, which poses a great challenge for selecting suitable models. OBJECTIVE To compare three TMJ-OA induction methods and assess their applicability considering pathological changes in the cartilage, subchondral bone, osteoclasts, and synovium. METHODS Murine models were employed and followed for 3 and 6 weeks after experimental procedures (surgery, injection, crossbite). The TMJ changes were evaluated by Safranin-O/Fast green staining, immunofluorescence staining, micro-CT, TRAP staining, and HE staining. RESULTS In the Surgery group, a pronounced drop in bone volume fraction was observed. In the Injection group, chondrocytes were mostly disordered or arranged in clusters and a substantial increase in the OARSI score and osteoclasts was found. The OARSI score and osteoclasts also increased significantly in the Crossbite group, although to a lower extent compared with injection. CONCLUSION Osteoarthritis-like changes were observed in all models. Concerning the applicability of the different induction methods, surgery might be an important resource for the assessment of post-traumatic TMJ-OA and subchondral bone changes in early stages. Injection induces a severe end-stage osteoarthritis in a short time and provides model basis for advanced TMJ-OA. Crossbite might be more reasonable model to explore the pathogenesis mechanism of temporomandibular arthritis due to occlusal disorders.

The effect of association of aspirin and omega 3 in rat temporomandibular joint with induced arthritis. Ann Anat 2021; 239:151812. [PMID: 34384858 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2021.151812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of omega-3 (ω3) polyunsaturated fatty acids, in association with aspirin (AA), on the morphology of cytokine release in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of rats induced with rheumatoid arthritis (IR) by injecting 100 μL of complete Freund's adjuvant with bovine type II collagen at the tail base. Thirty-two adult male rats were divided into treatment groups: Sham, treated with 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) p.o.; IR-control, treated with 0.9% NaCl p.o.; IR-ω3 treated with ω3 PUFAS (85 mg/kg/day p.o.); and IR-ω3 + AA treated with ω3 (85 mg/kg/day p.o.) + AA (20 mg/kg/day i.p.). After maintained treatment for seven days, the animals were euthanized. Bilateral TMJs from each rat were removed and one was subjected to histological immunoassays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to assess interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-10 levels. Data analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. In the IR-ω3 and IR-ω3 + AA groups, the TMJ was greater than in the IR-control group (P < 0.0001). The addition of AA did not improve the effects of ω3 (P = 0.0698). Similarly, the addition of AA conferred no additional effects on the cytokine levels (P > 0.05); however, it increased the proteoglycan density, compared with ω3 alone. We found that ω3 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in arthritic rats, and the addition of AA increased proteoglycan density, but did not affect cytokine expression.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study is to show the anatomical and histological features of the displaced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc in joints with degenerative disease. Methods This study was performed on a total of 30 TMJ discs extracted from 22 patients, who underwent surgical discectomy after failure of conservative non‐surgical treatment regimens to control pain and/or limited range of motion. All joints had imaging signs of an anteriorized disc position and degenerative joint disease. Samples of the extracted discs were stored in formalin, cut into 3 micron‐thick sections imbedded in paraffin and processed with hematoxylin‐eosin. Result All the samples present irreversible morphologic and histological alterations. The macroscopical evaluation showed that 14 discs were worn and fragmented in several parts, and one disc was perforated. Morphological alterations with deformation and degenerative signs were shown in all discs, which were all severely worn and compromised. Histologically, various alterations were found, such as pre‐fibrous sclerosis with myxoid degeneration and collagen deposits (N = 25), an increase in fibro‐hyaline and fibrous tissues, with loss of elasticity (N = 25), scattered calcifications (N = 15), and synovial inflammation with microvascular proliferation and increased cellularity, presence of lymphocytes, histiocytes and plasma cells (N = 18). After the intervention, all patients reported decreased pain levels and showed improved function at 6 months. Conclusion These observations suggest that degenerative joint disease is accompanied by a anteriorized discs featuring abnormal macroscopical and histological changes. From a clinical viewpoint, this may suggest that, when treatment escalation leads to consider TMJ surgery, total discectomy is the most reasonable approach.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) can be an important precipitating factor in the production of citrullinated proteins. Its importance is emphasized, but it is not the only way to produce citrullinated proteins. The aim of the current study was to determine the periodontal conditions and the salivary citrullinated protein content in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to healthy controls. We also wished to correlate citrullinated protein levels in the saliva and serum biomarkers with the periodontal status and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement of patients with RA. Twenty-three patients with RA and 17 healthy controls participated the study. Saliva samples were taken: citrulline content of saliva was measured. Blood test results for patients with RA were collected. TMJ disorders were described. Cariological and periodontal indices were registered. Periodontal conditions and periodontal staging were also registered. Comparison of measured values between groups was performed. Intragroup correlation of patients’ values was counted. The prevalence of TMJ complaints was significantly higher in the RA group (8/23) versus controls (1/17). The patients with RA had worse periodontal condition because more patients with RA had gingivitis with a significantly higher bleeding on probing (BOP) (RA: 22.4 ± 25.0%; controls: 6.36 ± 11.6%; p = 0.018). Gingival index (GI) was also significantly higher in the patients than in controls (RA: 0.68 ± 0.58; controls: 0.19 ± 0.38; p = 0.010). The citrullinated protein (relative) content of saliva did not differ significantly (p = 0.147) between patients with RA (1102.2 ± 530.8) and healthy controls (1873.1 ± 1594.9). In RA, the salivary anti-CCP levels positively correlated with PD staging (R = 0.464, p = 0.039)
. Control subjects more commonly had healthy gingiva than RA patients. Moreover, in the control group more individuals had intact and reduced height periodontium than periodontitis compared to the RA group. There was no significant difference in the levels of salivary citrulline between patients with RA and controls, despite the significant differences in their periodontal status. Thus, salivary citrulline levels are not associated with RA disease severity.

Abstract
Overloading stress-induced condylar cartilage degeneration acts as the main pathologic change in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA). However, the progression of degeneration and the ability for self-repair remain poorly understood. Here, we explored the progression of cartilage degeneration by dividing pathological stages using a steady mouth-opening mouse model. Then, we observed changes of cartilage by removing the loading at different stages to test the potential self-repair after degeneration induced. Three-dimensional confocal microscopy combined with histology and micro-CT scanning was applied to examine TMJ at different stages of degeneration before and after self-repair. We found the cartilage underwent progressive and thorough degeneration as the overloading stress developed. During the initial adaptation stage, robust proliferation of posteromedial cartilage began at the area of direct loading. Subsequently, widespread chondrocyte apoptosis was found, followed by new chondrocyte proliferation in aggregates with matrix degradation and subchondral bone catabolism. Finally, with cartilage surface damage, the degeneration reached a point where the lesion could not be reversed by self-repair. While the cartilage nearly returned to normal when the interference was removed within 5 days. These results suggested overloading force induces a pathological process of successive degeneration in TMJ cartilage, which can be reversed by self-repair at early stages.

Temporomandibular joint damage in K/BxN arthritic mice. Int J Oral Sci 2020; 12:5.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease affecting 1% of the world population and is characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints sometimes accompanied by extra-articular manifestations. K/BxN mice, originally described in 1996 as a model of polyarthritis, exhibit knee joint alterations. The aim of this study was to describe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation and damage in these mice. We used relevant imaging modalities, such as micro-magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI) and micro-computed tomography (μCT), as well as histology and immunofluorescence techniques to detect TMJ alterations in this mouse model. Histology and immunofluorescence for Col-I, Col-II, and aggrecan showed cartilage damage in the TMJ of K/BxN animals, which was also evidenced by μCT but was less pronounced than that seen in the knee joints. μMRI observations suggested an increased volume of the upper articular cavity, an indicator of an inflammatory process. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) isolated from the TMJ of K/BxN mice secreted inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1β) and expressed degradative mediators such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). K/BxN mice represent an attractive model for describing and investigating spontaneous damage to the TMJ, a painful disorder in humans with an etiology that is still poorly understood.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is affected in up to 50%, resulting in pain, limited mouth opening and dental malocclusion. The outcome of conservative and surgical therapies is unsatisfying in many cases. The purpose of this study was to establish a large animal model of antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) of the TMJ that enables the investigation of the pathogenesis of RA and the evaluation of new therapies. In five domestic pigs, systemic immunization was performed via consecutive intramuscular injections of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Then, AIA was induced via the application of BSA into the TMJ. Injection with saline served as the control. After ten weeks, the joints and adjacent tissues were harvested for histological analysis and cytokine quantification. The changes observed in the AIA specimens included severe synovial inflammation, cartilage-specific glycosaminoglycan content loss, and cartilage surface and discus alterations as well as the formation of chondrocyte clusters. Protein analyses of the synovia showed enhanced levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα and VEGF. A porcine model of immunologic arthritis of the TMJ was successfully established. This model may be used in future studies to investigate the underlying pathogenesis of RA and new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms of physiology are the keys to health and fitness, as dysregulation, by genetic mutations or environmental factors, increases disease risk and aggravates progression. Molecular and physiological studies have shed important light on an intrinsic clock that drives circadian rhythms and serves essential roles in metabolic homoeostasis, organ physiology and brain functions. One exciting new area in circadian research is pain, including headache and neuropathic pain for which new mechanistic insights have recently emerged. For example, cluster headache is an intermittent pain disorder with an exceedingly precise circadian timing, and preliminary evidence is emerging linking several circadian components (eg, Clock and Nr1d1) with the disease. In this review, we first discuss the broad metabolic and physiological relevance of the circadian timing system. We then provide a detailed review of the circadian relevance in pain disease and physiology, including cluster headache, migraine, hypnic headache and neuropathic pain. Finally, we describe potential therapeutic implications, including existing pain medicines and novel clock-modulating compounds. The physiological basis for the circadian rhythms in pain is an exciting new area of research with profound basic and translational impact.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic orofacial pain is one of the most common pain conditions experienced by adults. Animal models are often selected as the most useful scientific methodology to explore the pathophysiology of the disorders that cause this disabling pain to facilitate the development of new treatments. The creation of new models or the improvement of existing ones is essential for finding new ways to approach the complex neurobiology of this type of pain. Areas covered: The authors describe and discuss a variety of animal models used in chronic orofacial pain (COFP). Furthermore, they examine in detail the mechanisms of action involved in orofacial neuropathic pain and orofacial inflammatory pain. Expert opinion: The use of animal models has several advantages in chronic orofacial pain drug discovery. Choosing an animal model that most closely represents the human disease helps to increase the chances of finding effective new therapies and is key to the successful translation of preclinical research to clinical practice. Models using genetically modified animals seem promising but have not yet been fully developed for use in chronic orofacial pain research. Although animal models have provided significant advances in the pharmacological treatment of orofacial pain, several barriers still need to be overcome for better treatment options.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease that affects both cartilage and subchondral bone. It is accompanied by loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) and may be controlled by bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). We analyzed the effect of BMP-2 in both cartilage and subchondral bone in a TMJ-OA animal model that is deficient in biglycan (Bgn) and fibromodulin (Fmod) (Bgn-/-Fmod-/-). Whole mandibles were dissected from 3-week-old wild-type (WT) and Bgn-/-Fmod-/- mice and incubated with and without 250 µg/mL BMP-2 for 2 days using an explant culture system. Condyle growth was measured by microCT and the expression levels of cartilage and bone-related genes were analyzed using RT-PCR or by immunohistochemistry from condyles that contained an intact cartilage/subchondral bone interface. Osteoclast activity was estimated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and by TRAP, Rankl, and Adamts4 mRNA expression levels. Our results showed that most parameters examined were slightly up-regulated in WT samples treated with BMP-2, and this up-regulation was significantly enhanced in the Bgn-/-Fmod-/- mice. The up-regulation of both catabolic and anabolic agents did not appear to positively affect the overall growth of Bgn-/-Fmod-/- condyles compared to WT controls. In summary, the up-regulation of both anabolic and catabolic genes in the WT and Bgn-/-Fmod-/- TMJs treated with BMP-2 suggests that BMP increases matrix turnover in the condyle, and, further, that Bgn and Fmod could have protective roles in regulating this process.
