Project description:Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) regulates the survival, proliferation and differentiation of all cells in the neutrophil lineage, and is consequently used for neutropenic conditions. Upon G-CSF administration, osteoblasts and osteocytes are suppressed, and the support system allowing hematopoietic stem cells to remain in the microenvironment is diminished. The present study focused on and investigated G-CSF as a regulatory factor of bone remodeling. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of G-CSF administration on the bone healing of tooth extraction sockets. Significant differences in the bone volume fraction, and trabecular separation of the proximal femurs and alveolar septa were observed between the G-CSF and control (saline-treated) groups. The trabecular bone of the femur and alveolar septa was reduced in the G-CSF group compared with that in the control group. In addition, serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels, a marker of bone formation, were lower in the G-CSF group compared with in the control group. Fibrous connective tissues and immature bone were observed in the extraction socket, and bone healing was delayed in the G-CSF group compared with that in the control group. The bone area in the extraction socket 6 days after tooth extraction was significantly smaller in the G-CSF group (23.6%) than that in the control group (45.1%). Furthermore, G-CSF administration reduced the number of canaliculi per osteocyte and inhibited the connection of osteocyte networks. Consequently, osteoblast activation was inhibited and bone remodeling changed to a state of low bone turnover in the G-CSG group. Analysis of bone formation parameters revealed that the G-CSF group exhibited a lower mineral apposition rate compared with in the control group. In conclusion, these findings indicated that G-CSF may delay bone healing of the socket after tooth extraction.

Project description:Alendronate (ALN) is an antiresorptive agent widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Its suppressive effect on osteoclasts has been extensively studied. However, the effect of ALN on bone formation is not as clear as its effect on resorption. The objective was to determine the effect of short-term ALN on bone formation and tooth extraction wound healing. Molar tooth extractions were performed in mice. ALN, parathyroid hormone (PTH), or saline (vehicle control) was administered. PTH was used as the bone anabolic control. Mice were euthanized at 3, 5, 7, 10, and 21 d after extractions. Hard tissue healing was determined histomorphometrically. Neutrophils and lymphatic and blood vessels were quantified to evaluate soft tissue healing. Gene expression in the wounds was assessed at the RNA level. Furthermore, the vossicle bone transplant system was used to verify findings from extraction wound analysis. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was visualized in the vossicles to assess osteoblast activity. ALN exhibited no negative effect on bone formation. In intact tibiae, ALN increased bone mass significantly more than PTH did. Consistently, significantly elevated osteoblast numbers were noted. In the extraction sockets, bone fill in the ALN-treated mice was equivalent to the control. Genes associated with bone morphogenetic protein signaling, such as bmp2, nog, and dlx5, were activated in the extraction wounds of the ALN-treated animals. Bone formation in vossicles was significantly enhanced in the ALN versus PTH group. In agreement with this, ALN upregulated ALP activity considerably in vossicles. Neutrophil aggregation and suppressed lymphangiogenesis were evident in the soft tissue at 21 d after extraction, although gross healing of extraction wounds was uneventful. Bone formation was not impeded by short-term ALN treatment. Rather, short-term ALN treatment enhanced bone formation. ALN did not alter bone fill in extraction sockets.

Project description:Bone tissue has a significant potential for healing, which involves a significant the interplay between bone and immune cells. While fracture healing represents a useful model to investigate endochondral bone healing, intramembranous bone healing models are yet to be developed and characterized. In this study, a micro-computed tomography, histomorphometric and molecular (RealTimePCRarray) characterization of post tooth-extraction alveolar bone healing was performed on C57Bl/6 WT mice. After the initial clot dominance (0 h), the development of a provisional immature granulation tissue is evident (7 d), characterized by marked cell proliferation, angiogenesis and inflammatory cells infiltration; associated with peaks of growth factors (BMP-2-4-7,TGF?1,VEGFa), cytokines (TNF?, IL-10), chemokines & receptors (CXCL12, CCL25, CCR5, CXCR4), matrix (Col1a1-2, ITGA4, VTN, MMP1a) and MSCs (CD105, CD106, OCT4, NANOG, CD34, CD146) markers expression. Granulation tissue is sequentially replaced by more mature connective tissue (14 d), characterized by inflammatory infiltrate reduction along the increased bone formation, marked expression of matrix remodeling enzymes (MMP-2-9), bone formation/maturation (RUNX2, ALP, DMP1, PHEX, SOST) markers, and chemokines & receptors associated with healing (CCL2, CCL17, CCR2). No evidences of cartilage cells or tissue were observed, strengthening the intramembranous nature of bone healing. Bone microarchitecture analysis supports the evolving healing, with total tissue and bone volumes as trabecular number and thickness showing a progressive increase over time. The extraction socket healing process is considered complete (21 d) when the dental socket is filled by trabeculae bone with well-defined medullary canals; it being the expression of mature bone markers prevalent at this period. Our data confirms the intramembranous bone healing nature of the model used, revealing parallels between the gene expression profile and the histomorphometric events and the potential participation of MCSs and immune cells in the healing process, supporting the forthcoming application of the model for the better understanding of the bone healing process.

Project description:1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] is crucial for normal skeletal development and bone homeostasis. Protein disulfide isomerase family A, member 3 (PDIA3) mediates 1α,25(OH)2D3 initiated-rapid membrane signaling in several cell types. To understand its role in regulating skeletal development, we generated Pdia3-deficient mice and examined the physiologic consequence of Pdia3-disruption in embryos and Pdia3+/- heterozygotes at different ages. No mice homozygous for the Pdia3-deletion were found at birth nor were there embryos after E12.5, indicating that targeted disruption of the Pdia3 gene resulted in early embryonic lethality. Pdia3-deficiency also resulted in skeletal manifestations as revealed by µCT analysis of the tibias. In comparison to wild type mice, Pdia3 heterozygous mice displayed expanded growth plates associated with decreased tether formation. Histomorphometry also showed that the hypertrophic zone in Pdia3+/- mice was more cellular than seen in wild type growth plates. Metaphyseal trabecular bone in Pdia3+/- mice exhibited an age-dependent phenotype with lower BV/TV and trabecular numbers, which was most pronounced at 15 weeks of age. Bone marrow cells from Pdia3+/- mice exhibited impaired osteoblastic differentiation, based on reduced expression of osteoblast markers and mineral deposition compared to cells from wild type animals. Collectively, our findings provide in vivo evidence that PDIA3 is essential for normal skeletal development. The fact that the Pdia3+/- heterozygous mice share a similar growth plate and bone phenotype to nVdr knockout mice, suggests that PDIA3-mediated rapid membrane signaling might be an alternative mechanism responsible for 1α,25(OH)2D3's actions in regulating skeletal development.

Project description:Coffin-Lowry-Syndrome (CLS) is a X-linked mental retardation characterized by skeletal dysplasia and premature tooth loss. We and others have previously demonstrated that the ribosomal S6 kinase RSK2, mutated in CLS, is essential for bone and cementum formation; however, it remains to be established whether RSK2 plays also a role in mechanically induced bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). We, therefore, performed OTM in wild-type (WT) mice and Rsk2-deficient mice using Nitinol tension springs that were fixed between the upper left molars and the incisors. The untreated contralateral molars served as internal controls. After 12 days of OTM, the jaws were removed and examined by micro-computed tomography (µCT), decalcified histology, and immunohistochemistry. Our analysis of the untreated teeth confirmed that the periodontal phenotype of Rsk2-deficient mice is characterized by alveolar bone loss and hypoplasia of root cementum. Quantification of OTM using µCT revealed that OTM was more than two-fold faster in Rsk2-deficient mice as compared to WT. We also observed that OTM caused alveolar bone loss and root resorptions in WT and Rsk2-deficient mice. However, quantification of these orthodontic side effects revealed no differences between WT and Rsk2-deficient mice. Taken together, Rsk2 loss-of-function accelerates OTM in mice without causing more side effects.

Project description:There is large literature describing in vitro experiments on heat shock protein (hsp)B1 but understanding of its function in vivo is limited to studies in mice overexpressing human hspB1 protein. Experiments in cells have shown that hspB1 has chaperone activity, a cytoprotective role, regulates inflammatory gene expression, and drives cell proliferation. To investigate the function of the protein in vivo we generated hspB1-deficient mice. HspB1-deficient fibroblasts display increased expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-6, compared to wild-type cells, but reduced proliferation. HspB1-deficient fibroblasts exhibit reduced entry into S phase and increased expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p27(kip1) and p21(waf1). The expression of hspB1 protein and mRNA is also controlled by the cell cycle. To investigate the physiological function of hspB1 in regulating inflammation and cell proliferation we used an excisional cutaneous wound healing model. There was a significant impairment in the rate of healing of wounds in hspB1-deficient mice, characterised by reduced re-epithelialisation and collagen deposition but also increased inflammation. HspB1 deficiency augments neutrophil infiltration in wounds, driven by increased chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 expression. This appears to be a general mechanism as similar results were obtained in the air-pouch and peritonitis models of acute inflammation.

Project description:Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration increases systemic and craniofacial bone mass. However, the effect of PTH therapy on healing of tooth extraction sites is unknown. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of PTH therapy on tooth extraction socket healing and to examine whether PTH intra-oral injection promotes healing. The mandibular first molars were extracted in rats, and subcutaneous PTH was administered intermittently for 7, 14, and 28 days. In a second study, maxillary second molars were extracted, and PTH was administered by either subcutaneous or intra-oral injection to determine the efficacy of intra-oral PTH administration. Healing was assessed by micro-computed tomography and histomorphometric analyses. PTH therapy accelerated the entire healing process and promoted both hard- and soft-tissue healing by increasing bone fill and connective tissue maturation. PTH therapy by intra-oral injection was as effective as subcutaneous injection in promoting tooth extraction socket healing. The findings suggest that PTH therapy promotes tooth extraction socket healing and that intra-oral injections can be used to administer PTH.

Project description:BackgroundBisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare but serious side effect of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate drugs (N-BPs) frequently prescribed to reduce skeletal-related events in bone malignancies and osteoporosis. BRONJ is associated with abnormal oral wound healing after dentoalveolar surgery and tooth extraction. We previously found that N-BP chemisorbed to bone mineral hydroxyapatite was dissociated by secondary applied N-BP. This study investigated the effect of the surface equilibrium-based removal of N-BP from jawbone on tooth extraction wound healing of zoledronate (ZOL)-treated mice.MethodsA pharmacologically inactive N-BP derivative (the 4-pyridyl isomer of risedronate equipped with a near-infrared 800CW fluorescent imaging dye, 800CW-pRIS) was designed and synthesized. 800CW-pRIS was intra-orally injected or topically applied in a deformable nano-scale vesicle formulation (DNV) to the palatal tissue of mice pretreated with ZOL, a potent N-BP. The female C56BL6/J mice were subjected to maxillary molar extraction and oral wound healing was compared for 800CW-pRIS/ZOL, ZOL and untreated control groups.Results800CW-pRIS is confirmed to be inactive in inhibiting prenylation in cultured osteoclasts while retaining high affinity for hydroxyapatite. ZOL-injected mice exhibit delayed tooth extraction wound healing with osteonecrosis relative to the untreated controls. 800CW-pRIS applied topically to the jaw one week before tooth extraction significantly reduces gingival oral barrier inflammation, improves extraction socket bone regeneration, and prevents development of osteonecrosis in ZOL-injected mice.ConclusionsTopical pre-treatment with 800CW-RIS in DNV is a promising approach to prevent the complication of abnormal oral wound healing associated with BRONJ while retaining the anti-resorptive benefit of legacy N-BP in appendicular or vertebrate bones.

Project description:Genetic ablation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in mice is known to impair fracture healing. To determine if teriparatide (human PTH1-34) can promote healing of Cox-2-deficient fractures, we performed detailed in vivo analyses using a murine stabilized tibia fracture model. Periosteal progenitor cell proliferation as well as bony callus formation was markedly reduced in Cox-2-/- mice at day 10 post-fracture. Remarkably, intermittent PTH1-34 administration increased proliferation of periosteal progenitor cells, restored callus formation on day 7, and enhanced bone formation on days 10, 14 and 21 in Cox-2-deficient mice. PTH1-34 also increased biomechanical torsional properties at days 10 or 14 in all genotypes, consistent with enhanced bony callus formation by radiologic examinations. To determine the effects of intermittent PTH1-34 for callus remodeling, TRAP staining was performed. Intermittent PTH1-34 treatment increased the number of TRAP positive cells per total callus area on day 21 in Cox-2-/- fractures. Taken together, the present findings indicate that intermittent PTH1-34 treatment could compensate for COX-2 deficiency and improve impaired fracture healing in Cox-2-deficient mice.

Project description:Bone is a unique tissue that has the ability to repair itself and return to full function. Bone regeneration is a well synchronized biological process that recapitulates embryonic bone development. The establishment of a functional vascular supply has been shown to be essential for proper ossification of newly deposited bone, and impaired angiogenesis as in advanced age, diabetes, and anti-cancer treatments affect bone repair. Endothelial Guanosine, 3', 5'-Cyclic Monophophate(cGMP) is known to support angiogenesis, and sildenafil, a Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) antagonist, prevents cGMP hydrolysis and thereby, promotes the formation of new blood vessels. Since the development of functional vascular networks is critical to bone repair, we investigated the effects of sildenafil on early alveolar bone regeneration following exodontia. Our results demonstrate that per-oral administration of sildenafil (10 mg/kg/day) in rats delays the dissolution and replacement of the sanguine clot with granulation tissue. As a result, the number of replicating cells, a hallmark of regenerating tissue, observed on day 4 was remarkably lower in sildenafil-treated animals than their control counterparts (mean±SD; control: 47.35±9.21; sildenafil: 11.47±5.14). Similarly, cells expressing transcription factor Cbfa-1/Runx2 and osteopontin, markers of differentiating osteoblasts, were fewer in treated animals (mean±SD; control: 83.18 ± 4.60; sildenafil: 13.77 ± 4.63). Treatment with hydrolysis-resistant cyclic GMP (cGMP) showed findings similar to sildenafil-treated animals suggesting a negative impact of cGMP on early inflammatory phase of bone healing. However, histological differences were not significant between the 2 groups on day 8. Based on these findings, we conclude that sildenafil temporarily retards early events in alveolar bone healing.
