Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) has been widely observed worldwide. The OTM process is involved in several biological activities and can result in temporary hypoxia. The dynamic changes of autophagy and apoptosis during OTM have not, to the best of our knowledge, been previously reported. In the present study, an OTM animal model was established. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and osteoclasts were investigated using H&E and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. The changes in the expression levels of certain autophagy and apoptotic markers were investigated using immunohistochemical staining. A significant decrease in PDLC and an increase in osteoclast numbers were observed 1 day following OTM induction. The expression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3-II peaked at 1 h post-OTM, followed by a gradual decrease. The expression levels of P62 in each experimental group were significantly lower than those noted in the 0 h group. The expression levels of Bcl-2 were markedly increased 1 h following OTM and reached a maximum at 1 day post-OTM. The highest expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 were observed 7 days following OTM induction. The present study provided additional information regarding the involvement of autophagy and apoptotic markers in the OTM process and aided the understanding of the initiation and pathophysiological progression of this condition.

Orthodontic force-induced oxidative stress in the periodontal tissue and dental pulp elicits nociception via activation/sensitization of TRPA1 on nociceptive fibers. Free Radic Biol Med 2020; 147:175-186. [PMID: 31866360 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2019.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Orthodontic patients complain of pain for the first few days after insertion of appliances. Mechanical force has been reported to produce oxidants in periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. It has not been studied whether orthodontic force-induced oxidative stress elicits nociception. Herein, we focused on the role of the oxidant-sensitive channel TRPA1 on nociception in orthodontic pain. In a rat model of loaded orthodontic force between the maxillary first molar and incisor, the behavioral signs of orofacial nociception, facial rubbing and wiping, increased to a peak on day 1 and gradually diminished to the control level on day 5. Administration of free radical scavengers (Tempol and PBN) and TRPA1 antagonist (HC-030031) inhibited nociceptive behaviors on day 1. In the PDL, the oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG was highly detected on day 1 and recovered on day 5 to the sham-operated level. The dental pulp showed similar results as the PDL. TRPA1 mRNA was abundantly expressed in the trigeminal ganglion relative to PDL tissue, and there were TRPA1-immunopositive neuronal fibers in the PDL and pulp. In dissociated trigeminal ganglion neurons, H2O2 at 5 mM induced a Ca2+ response that was inhibited by HC-030031. Although H2O2 at 100 μM did not yield any response, it enhanced the mechanically activated TRPA1-dependent Ca2+ response. These results suggest that oxidative stress in the PDL and dental pulp following orthodontic force activates and/or mechanically sensitizes TRPA1 on nociceptive fibers, resulting in orthodontic nociception. Later, the disappearance of nociception seems to be related to a decrease in oxidative stress, probably due to tissue remodeling.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester protects against oxidative stress and dampens inflammation via heme oxygenase 1. Int J Oral Sci 2019; 11:6. [PMID: 30783082 PMCID: PMC6381107 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-018-0039-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2018] [Revised: 06/18/2018] [Accepted: 07/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Periodontal disease is associated with chronic oxidative stress and inflammation. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), which is a potent inducer of heme oxygenase 1 (HO1), is a central active component of propolis, and the application of propolis improves periodontal status in diabetic patients. Here, primary murine macrophages were exposed to CAPE. Target gene expression was assessed by whole-genome microarray, RT-PCR and Western blotting. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of CAPE were examined by exposure of the cells to hydrogen peroxide, saliva and periodontal pathogens. The involvement of HO1 was investigated with the HO1 inhibitor tin protoporphyrin (SnPP) and knockout mice for Nrf2, which is a transcription factor for detoxifying enzymes. CAPE increased HO1 and other heat shock proteins in murine macrophages. A p38 MAPK inhibitor and Nrf2 knockout attenuated CAPE-induced HO1 expression in macrophages. CAPE exerted strong antioxidative activity. Additionally, CAPE reduced the inflammatory response to saliva and periodontal pathogens. Blocking HO1 decreased the antioxidative activity and attenuated the anti-inflammatory activity of CAPE. In conclusion, CAPE exerted its antioxidative effects through the Nrf2-mediated HO1 pathway and its anti-inflammatory effects through NF-κB inhibition. However, preclinical models evaluating the use of CAPE in periodontal inflammation are necessary in future studies. Propolis, also known as ‘honeybee glue,’ may protect teeth and gums against periodontal disease. In periodontal disease, chronic inflammation and oxidative damage harm gum tissue and lead to tooth loss; propolis has been shown to improve periodontal health for patients with diabetes. Bees make propolis by mixing beeswax, honey, plant resins and their own saliva, and use it to patch honeycomb and prevent growth of microbes in the hive. Reinhard Gruber of the Department of Oral Biology at the Medical University of Vienna and of the Department of Periodontology, University of Bern and co-workers investigated the effects of one of propolis’ active ingredients, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), on oxidative stress and inflammation. They found that CAPE reduced oxidative damage and dampened inflammation; further investigation revealed the genetic basis of the beneficial effects, paving the way for future clinical studies. These results may help identify alternative treatments for periodontal disease.
