Sex differences and age-related changes in the mandibular alveolar bone mineral density using a computer-aided measurement system for intraoral radiography. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7386. [PMID: 38548856 PMCID: PMC10979020 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-57805-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional data analysis of the alveolar bone mineral density (al-BMD) in 225 patients of various ages and different sexes. The al-BMD value in the mandibular incisor region was calculated using a computer-aided measurement system (DentalSCOPE) for intraoral radiography. All participants with intact teeth (101 males and 124 females; age range, 25-89 years) were divided into three age-segregated groups (25-49, 50-74, and > 75 years). Statistical differences were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis test. Males exhibited significantly greater al-BMD than females (p < 0.001). The highest means were observed in the 25-49 age group, regardless of sex (1007.90 mg/cm2 in males, 910.90 mg/cm2 in females). A 9.8% decrease in al-BMD was observed with the increase in age in males (25-49 to 50-74 years; p = 0.004); however, no further changes were seen thereafter. In females, a decreasing trend was seen throughout the lifespan, with values reaching up to 76.0% of the initial peak value (p < 0.001). Similar to other skeletal sites, the alveolar bone exhibits sex differences and undergoes a reduction in BMD via the normal aging process.

Zheng Y, Zhu C, Zhu M, Lei L. Difference in the alveolar bone remodeling between the adolescents and adults during upper incisor retraction: a retrospective study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9161. [PMID: 35650260 PMCID: PMC9160063 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12967-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of alveolar bone remodeling between the adolescents and adults in the maxillary incisor area during retraction. This retrospective study included 72 female patients who needed moderate anchorage to correct the bimaxillary protrusion. Subjects were further divided into the minor group (n = 36, 11-16 years old) and adult group (n = 36, 18-35 years old). Digital lateral cephalography and cone beam CT scanning were taken in each patient before (T0) and after treatment (T1). Cephalometry was conducted to assess incisor retraction, while alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone distance (ABD), and alveolar bone area (ABA) were detected to assess changes in the alveolar bone. No difference in the inclination of upper incisors was observed at both T0 and T1 between two groups. Changes in the alveolar bone showed a similar tendency with bone apposition on the labial side and bone resorption on the palatal side in both groups. Less increase in the labial ABT (T1-T0) and more decrease in the palatal ABT (T1-T0) was found in the adult group, leading to less total ABT in the adult group. Higher reduction in ABD (T1-T0) was found in the adult group. Moreover, more decrease in the ABA (T1-T0) was found in the adult group. Adult patients have less alveolar bone support after treatment when compared with young adolescents. Orthodontists should take the age into consideration to reduce the potential periodontal risks during the treatment planning.

Abstract
Purpose Re-cellularization of the trabecular meshwork (TM) using stem cells is a potential novel treatment for ocular hypertension associated with glaucoma. To assess the therapeutic efficacy of this approach, improved in vivo and ex vivo models of TM pathophysiology are needed. Here, we investigate whether oxidative stress, induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can model glaucomatous ocular hypertension in the readily available porcine anterior segment organ culture model. Methods The impact of H2O2 on TM cell viability and function was first evaluated in vitro using primary porcine TM cells. Oxidative stress was then induced by H2O2 infusion into perfused porcine anterior segments. Trabecular meshwork function was assessed by tracking matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and the ability of the preparation to maintain intraocular pressure (IOP) homeostasis after a flow challenge (doubled fluid infusion rate). Finally, the TM was evaluated histologically. Results H2O2 treatment resulted in a titratable reduction in cellularity across multiple primary TM cell donor strains. In organ culture preparations, H2O2-treated eyes showed impaired IOP homeostasis (i.e., IOPs stabilized at higher levels after a flow challenge vs. control eyes). This result was consistent with reduced MMP activity and TM cellularity; however, damage to the TM microstructure was not histologically evident in anterior segments receiving H2O2. Conclusions Titrated H2O2 infusion resulted in TM cellular dysfunction without destruction of TM structure. Thus, this porcine organ culture model offers a useful platform for assessing trabecular meshwork therapies to treat ocular hypertension associated with glaucoma.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, which accompanies the pathogenesis of many bone diseases, contributes to the reduction of osteoblast activity, resulting in the inhibition of differentiation. This study aimed to assess the effect of vitamins K1 and K2 (MK4 and MK7) on the proteomic profile of human osteoblasts cell line under oxidative conditions induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The analysis was performed using QExactiveHF mass spectrometer with a nanoelectrospray ionization source. The osteoblast protein exposed to oxidative stress and vitamin K was compared with the proteome of cells exposed only to oxidative stress. Our proteomic analysis identified 1234 proteins changed after 5 days, 967 after 15 days, and 1214 after 20 days of culture. We observed the most frequent changes in the expression of proteins with catalytic activity or protein/DNA binding properties (45% and 40%, respectively). Significant changes were also observed in proteins with transcription/translation regulator activity (2–6%), regulators of molecular functions (5–6%), signal transducers (1–4%), transporters (4–6%), and structural molecules (3–5%). Our results clearly show that vitamins K protect cells from H2O2-induced changes in protein expression, primarily through their effects on transcriptional regulators and transporter proteins. As a result, vitamins K can support the formation, remodeling, and mineralization of bone tissue.

Risk Factor Analysis of Graft Failure With Concomitant Cyst Enucleation of the Jaw Bone: A Retrospective Multicenter Study. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2017; 75:1668-1678. [PMID: 28282517 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2017.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2016] [Revised: 01/27/2017] [Accepted: 02/03/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Cysts are common pathologic entities in the oral and maxillofacial region. Enucleation is commonly used for treatment and is occasionally followed by bone grafting. However, no studies have evaluated factors affecting the failure of grafts used for cystic defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the risk factors for postoperative graft failure in patients treated with cyst enucleation and simultaneous bone grafting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data for 305 patients who had undergone cyst enucleation with simultaneous bone grafting were retrospectively investigated in this multicenter case-and-control study. The predictor variables included host, pathologic, and treatment factors. The outcome variable was success or failure of the bone graft. Descriptive statistics were computed, and the P value was set at .05. RESULTS Bone graft failure was observed in 48 cases. The mean duration from surgery to failure was 38.7 days. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between graft failure and younger age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.033; P = .016), smoking (OR = 2.598; P = .017), preoperative infection (OR = 4.660; P = .001), large cysts (OR = 1.052; P = .010), impaction of the mandibular third molar in the cystic cavity (OR = 3.021; P = .007), perilesional osteosclerosis (OR = 4.973; P = .001), and the use of mixed non-autogenous and autogenous bone grafts (OR = 3.891; P = .007). CONCLUSIONS This study provides a list of important factors that should be considered by clinicians planning enucleation and simultaneous bone grafting for cysts in the oral and maxillofacial region.

Abstract
AIMS Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a mitochondria-specific protein required for the deacetylation of metabolic enzymes and the action of oxidative phosphorylation by acting as a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase. SIRT3 increases oxidative stress resistance and prevents mitochondrial decay associated with ageing in response to caloric restriction. However, the effects of SIRT3 on oxidative damage and ageing are not well understood. We investigated the physiological functions of porcine SIRT3 on the damage and ageing in porcine fetal fibroblasts (PFFs). MAIN METHODS Overexpression and knockdown of SIRT3 were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis, respectively. All cells were treated with three different stress reagents 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), methanesulfonic acid methylester (MMS), and tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP), respectively, and then examined by flow cytometry following JC-1 (5, 5', 6, 6'-tetrachloro-1, 1', 3, 3'-tetraethylbenzimidazol-carbocyanine iodide) staining. KEY FINDINGS SIRT3 overexpression enhanced the ability of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) to reduce cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which further decreased the damage to the membranes and the organelles of the cells, especially to mitochondria. It inhibited the initial decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, and prevented the decrease of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and activity of Nampt. In contrast, SIRT3 knockdown reduced the ability of SOD2 to increase cellular ROS which was directly correlated with stress-induced oxidative damage and ageing in PFFs. SIGNIFICANCE Our findings identify one function of SIRT3 in PFFs was to dampen cytotoxicity, and, therefore, to decrease oxidative damage and attenuate ageing possibly by enhancing the activity of SOD2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in gene expression between the human mandibular and iliac bone-derived cells (BCs) for better understanding of the site-specific characteristics of bones. METHODS Primary cells were obtained from mandibular and iliac bones from six healthy, elderly donors. To investigate site-specific differences, gene expression profile of mandibular and iliac BC from the same donors were compared via cDNA microarray analysis. RESULTS A comparison of the gene expression profiles revealed that 82 genes were significantly upregulated and 66 genes were downregulated with 1.5 fold or greater in mandibular versus iliac BCs. The most significantly differentially regulated genes were associated with skeletal system development or morphogenesis (SIX1, MSX1, MSX2, HAND2, PRRX1, OSR2, HOX gene family, PITX2). Especially, upregulated genes in mandibular BC were related with tooth morphogenesis, originated from the ectomesenchyme. Microarray analysis revealed that Msx1 was 2.03-fold and Msx2 was 1.99-fold upregulated in mandibular versus iliac BCs (both p < 0.01). Furthermore, in mandibular BCs, all members of the HOX gene family that were analyzed were downregulated (p < 0.01) and osteopontin was also downregulated by 2.84-fold (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Site-specific differences between jaw and long bones can be explained by the differences in gene expression patterns. Our results suggest that bone cell-derived cells maintain the genetic characteristics of their embryological origin. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study revealed fundamental differences in gene expression between the mandibular and iliac bone in humans. These differences could be important for understanding jaw bone-specific development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the stimulative and pharmacological effects of ginsenoside Rh1 (hereinafter referred to as: Rh1) on differentiation and mineralization of osteoblast and its possible mechanism of action on the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)/Runt-related gene 2 (Runx2) signalling pathways using mouse preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell line as in-vitro model.
Methods
An in-vitro stimulative activity of Rh1 was assessed by analyzing alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), type-I collagen (Coll-I) synthesis, mineralization and glutathione content. Its antioxidant activity was measured by evaluating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the presence of antimycin A (AMA), one of the mitochondrial dysfunction factors. The level of BMP-2/Runx2 signal-regulated osteoblast-specific proteins such as osteocalcin (OCN), Coll-I and ALP were detected using Western blot analysis.
Key findings
Rh1 was capable to stimulate cell growth, ALP activity, Coll-I synthesis, mineralization and glutathione content in the MC3T3-E1 cells. BMP-2 and Runx2 expression were also increased by Rh1 concentration dependently. Additionally, Rh1 also showed inhibitory action on the level of ROS production enhanced by AMA in MC3T3-E1 cells. Rh1 could increase the expression level of BMP-2/Runx2 signal-regulated osteogenic markers such as ALP, Coll-I and OCN.
Conclusions
Rh1, a protopanaxatriol type's active ingredients of Panax ginseng Meyer, possesses osteoblast differentiation, osteogenic stimulatory and anti-oxidative activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major catechin in green tea, on human and mouse osteoblasts remain controversial. This study investigated the direct effects of EGCG on human alveolar bone-derived cells (hABCs) both in vitro and in vivo. DESIGN hABCs which were collected from eight children (aged 7-9 years, seven males and one female) were treated with EGCG at various concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, and 50μM), and a proliferation assay, flow cytometric analysis for apoptosis evaluation, migration assay, and in vitro osteogenic differentiation were performed. hABCs that were pretreated with 10μM EGCG and mixed with calcium phosphate carrier combined with EGCG (0.1, 0.5, or 1.5mg) in vivo were transplanted into immunodeficient mouse. Histological staining, quantitative gene expressions, and alkaline phosphatase activity were evaluated in the retrieved transplants. RESULTS The proliferation and migration were decreased when EGCG was present at over 25μM. The osteogenic differentiation increased slightly when EGCG was present at up to 10μM, and clearly decreased for higher concentrations of EGCG. In vivo, the potential for hard-tissue formation was slightly higher for the group with 0.1mg of EGCG than for the control group, and decreased sharply for higher concentrations of EGCG. CONCLUSION The present observations suggest that EGCG at a low concentration can slightly enhance the osteogenic effect in vivo, whereas at a higher concentration it can prevent the osteogenic differentiation of hABCs both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Aging is associated with decreased immune function that leads to increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Immune senescence is accompanied by age-related changes in two primary lymphoid organs, bone marrow and thymus, that result in decreased production and function of B and T lymphocytes. In bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells exhibit reduced self-renewal potential, increased skewing toward myelopoiesis, and decreased production of lymphocytes with aging. These functional sequelae of aging are caused in part by increased oxidative stress, inflammation, adipocyte differentiation, and disruption of hypoxic osteoblastic niches. In thymus, aging is associated with tissue involution, exhibited by a disorganization of the thymic epithelial cell architecture and increased adiposity. This dysregulation correlates with a loss of stroma-thymocyte 'cross-talk', resulting in decreased export of naïve T cells. Mounting evidence argues that with aging, thymic inflammation, systemic stress, local Foxn1 and keratinocyte growth factor expression, and sex steroid levels play critical roles in actively driving thymic involution and overall adaptive immune senescence across the lifespan. With a better understanding of the complex mechanisms and pathways that mediate bone marrow and thymus involution with aging, potential increases for the development of safe and effective interventions to prevent or restore loss of immune function with aging.

Effect of magnolol on the function of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Mediators Inflamm 2012; 2012:829650. [PMID: 22474400 PMCID: PMC3306956 DOI: 10.1155/2012/829650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2011] [Accepted: 11/06/2011] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives. In the present study, the ability of magnolol, a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from Magnolia officinalis, to stimulate osteoblast function and inhibit the release of bone-resorbing mediators was investigated in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Methods. Osteoblast function was measured by cell growth, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen synthesis, and mineralization. Glutathione content was also measured in the cells. Bone-resorbing cytokines, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), TNF-α, and IL-6 were measured with an enzyme immunoassay system. Results. Magnolol caused a significant elevation of cell growth, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen synthesis, mineralization, and glutathione content in the cells (P < 0.05). Skeletal turnover is orchestrated by a complex network of regulatory factors. Among cytokines, RANKL, TNF-α, and IL-6 were found to be key osteoclastogenetic molecules produced by osteoblasts. Magnolol significantly (P < 0.05) decreased the production of osteoclast differentiation inducing factors such as RANKL, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the presence of antimycin A, which inhibits mitochondrial electron transport and has been used as an ROS generator. Conclusion. Magnolol might be a candidate as an agent for the prevention of bone disorders such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) have been demonstrated to promote periodontal regeneration. However, effects of EMPs on human alveolar osteoblasts (hAOBs), up to now, have still been unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate influence of EMPs on proliferation, differentiation and attachment of hAOBs in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS EMPs were extracted using the acetic acid method, hAOBs were obtained and cultured in vitro. Cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mRNA expression of osteogenic markers and cell attachment were measured in the absence and in the presence of EMPs (50, 100 and 200 μg/ml). RESULTS EMPs increased proliferation of hAOBs; however, they inhibited ALP activity and mRNA expression of osteogenic markers (collagen I, ALP, runt-related protein 2, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein and osteopontin). Meanwhile, EMPs hindered hAOBs' attachment. These effects occurred in EMPs concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that EMPs may inhibit osteoblastic differentiation and attachment to prevent ankylosis and allow other cell types to regenerate periodontal tissues.

Abstract
Due to the architecture of solid body tissues including bone, three-dimensional (3D) in vitro microenvironments appear favorable, since herein cell growth proceeds under more physiological conditions compared to conventional 2D systems. In the present study we show that a 3D microenvironment comprising a fibronectin-coated PMMA/PC-based micro-chip promotes differentiation of primary human osteoblasts as reflected by the densely-packed 3D bone cell aggregates and expression of biomarkers indicating osteoblast differentiation. Morphogenesis and fluorescence dye-based live/dead staining revealed homogenous cell coverage of the microcavities of the chip array, whereat cells showed high viability up to 14 days. Moreover, Azur II staining proved formation of uniform sized multilayered aggregates, exhibiting progressive intracellular deposition of extracellular bone matrix constituents comprising fibronectin, osteocalcin and osteonectin from day 7 on. Compared to 2D monolayers, osteoblasts grown in the 3D chip environment displayed differential mostly higher gene expression for osteocalcin, osteonectin, and alkaline phosphatase, while collagen type I remained fairly constant in both culture environments. Our results indicate that the 3D microenvironment, based on the PMMA biomaterial chip array promotes osteoblast differentiation, and hereby renders a promising tool for tissue-specific in vitro preconditioning of osteoblasts designated for clinically-oriented bone augmentation or regeneration.

Abstract
MC3T3-E1 cells grown in the presence of ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate (AA/β-GP) express alkaline phosphatase and produce an extensive collagenous extracellular matrix. Differentiated MC3T3-E1 cells are more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress than undifferentiated cells. In this study, we compared the profile of antioxidant enzymes and molecular markers of apoptosis in undifferentiated and differentiated MC3T3-E1 cells (cell differentiation was induced by treatment with AA/β-GP). Differentiated osteoblasts showed lower expression and activity of catalase, glutathione S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. The total superoxide dismutase activity and the expression of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase were also lower, while the expression of Mn superoxide dismutase was higher in differentiated osteoblasts. The level of malondialdehyde, a widely used marker for oxidative stress, was lower in the AA/β-GP group compared with control cells, but this difference was not significant. Western blotting showed that treatment with AA/β-GP increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio used as an index of cellular vulnerability to apoptosis. In addition, the activities of caspases 3, 8 and 9 and cleaved poly (ADP) ribose polymerase were significantly higher in differentiated cells. These findings provide new insights into how changes in the activities of major antioxidant enzymes and in the signaling pathways associated with apoptosis may influence the susceptibility of bone cells to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Kaempferol, a natural flavonoid present in fruits, vegetables, and teas, provides beneficial effects for human health. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of kaempferol on antimycin A (AMA)-induced toxicity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Exposure of MC3T3-E1 cells to AMA caused significant cell viability loss, as well as mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation, complex IV inactivation, intracellular calcium ([Ca²⁺](i)) elevation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Pretreatment with kaempferol prior to AMA exposure significantly reduced AMA-induced cell damage by preventing mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation, complex IV inactivation, [Ca²⁺](i) elevation, and ROS production. Kaempferol also induced the activation of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase), Akt (protein kinase B), and CREB (cAMP-response element-binding protein) inhibited by AMA, which result demonstrates that kaempferol utilizes the PI3K/Akt/CREB pathway to augment metabolic activity inhibited by AMA. All these data indicate that kaempferol may reduce or prevent osteoblasts degeneration in osteoporosis or other degenerative disorders.
