Expression of lumican and fibromodulin following interleukin-1 beta stimulation of disc cells of the human temporomandibular joint.

ABSTRACT: Small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans (SLRP) are present in the extracellular matrix of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc. Lumican and fibromodulin, classified as class 2 SLRPs, play important roles in TMJ assembly, proliferation and inflammation. Degenerative change in the TMJ disc gives rise to the process of internal derangement (ID). In this study, we immunohistochemically examined the expression of lumican and fibromodulin in nine human TMJ specimens and examined the gene expression of both proteoglycans in cultured human TMJ disc cells under interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 ?)-stimulated conditions. An articular disc cell line was established by collagenase treatment of a TMJ disc. The subcultured cells were then incubated for 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48 h under both normal and IL-1 ? (1 ng/mL) conditions. The gene expression of lumican and fibromodulin was examined using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real-time RT-PCR. We demonstrated that the expression of lumican significantly differs from that of fibromodulin in the deformed disc and that IL-1 ? induces a significant increase in lumican mRNA, but not in fibromodulin mRNA, after 24?48 h culture compared to cells cultured in the absence of IL-1 ? (P<0.05). These results indicate that lumican and fibromodulin display different behaviors and that lumican may promote regeneration of the TMJ after degeneration and deformation induced by IL-1 ?.

Project description:Temporomandibular dysfunction involving anterior disc derangement with or without reduction, secondary to posterior ligament insufficiency is typically managed conservatively with success in a majority of patients. When conservative management fails, the next step in the continuum of care is unclear. Platelet-rich plasma injection combined with a 3-week immobilization period may be effective in treating posterior ligament insufficiency following a period of physical therapy. The result of this case was exceptionally successful, with the patient reporting 100% improvement 6 months post-injection. Prior to this case, we predicted a 20% success rate based on her inability to maintain the effects of conservative management over the long term.A 33-year-old white woman presented with temporomandibular dysfunction, which responded to an initial course of physical therapy aimed at restoring the mechanics of her temporomandibular joint, exercise management, and education on self-management strategies. She returned 20 months later and responded well to another course of physical therapy. Despite improvement in pain, range of motion, and mechanics, she continued to present with a reduction click at the end range of opening. The crisp and loud nature of the reduction click indicated a viable posterior ligament and reduction of the anteriorly displaced disc. She opted for platelet-rich plasma injection, provided by a chronic pain specialist with the assistance of a physical therapist. She was immobilized for 3 weeks, followed by a weaning period with reduced posterior support for an additional 5 weeks. Follow-up appointments with a physical therapist occurred at 3 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months post-injection.At 6 months, she reported 100% improvement. Objectively, there was no indication that the disc condyle relationship was disrupted. At 6 months post-platelet-rich plasma injection, preceded by a period of conservative physical therapy management, and followed with appropriate physical therapy follow-up, this individual had complete resolution of her anterior disc derangement with reduction.
