본 실험은 bisphosphonate가 조골세포 분화 및 파골세포 분화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, etidronate와 alendronate를 조골세포에 투여하여 조골세포 전사인자인 Cbfa1, 조골세포 표시 인자의 발현, 석회화된 골결절 형성을 평가하였다. Bisphosphonate가 조골세포의 석회화된 골결절 형성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 배양액에 $10^{-6},\;10^{-5},\;10^{-4}M$의 etidronate 및 $10^{-8},\;10^{-7},\;10^{-6}M$의 alendronate를 첨가하였으며, 배양 15일 후에 alizarin red로 염색하여 관찰하였다. 또 조골세포의 분화에 미치는 bisphosphonate의 영향을 평가하고자 백서 두개관에서 얻은 조골세포에 etidronate $10^{-6},\;10^{-5},\;10^{-4}M$ 및 alendronate $10^{-6}$ M을 투여하고 배양 8일 후 총RNA를 수집하였고, 전기영동 및 Northern blot hybridization하여 Cbfa1, alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteopontin, osteocalcin의 발현을 조사하였다. 이상의 실험결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Etidronate는 농도 의존적으로 골결절 석회화를 억제하였으나, alendronate는 골석회화를 억제하지 않았다. 2. Etidronate는 Cbfa1의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였으나, alendronate는 오히려 촉진하였다. 3. Etidronate는 type I collagen, osteocalcin 및 osteopontin의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였으나, alendronate는 오히려 증가시켰다. 4. Alkaline phosphatase의 발현은 사용된 etidronate와 alendronate에 의해 영향 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 etidironate는 조골세포의 전사인자인 Cbfa1의 발현을 억제하며, 이에 의하여 조골세포의 분화표지인자인 type I collagen, osteopontin 및 osteocalcin의 합성이 억제되고, 결과적으로 석회화된 골결절의 형성을 억제하는 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IGF-I for DNA synthetic activity and the mRNA expression of bone matrix protein, type I collagen and osteopontin in prolifetation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. To evaluate DNA synthetic activity, cells were seeded at $2{\times}10^4cells/ml$ in 24 well plates and to evaluate mRNA of type I collagen and osteopontin cells were seeded at $5{\times}10^5cells/ml$ in 100mm culture dishes. These cells were cultured in alpha-minimum essential medium(${\alpha}-MEM$) containing 10% fetal bovine serum at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. For DNA synthetic activity test 1, 10, 100ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 3 days before 24 hours. For type I collagen mRNA expression 1, 10ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 5, 10 days and for osteopontin mRNA expression 0.1, 1, 10ng/ml IGF-I were added to the cells which had been cultured for 5, 15, 20 days. Cell proliferaton was measured by the incorporation of [$^3H$]-thymidine into DNA and expression for type I collagen and osteopontin were measured by northern blot analysis. The results were as follows : DNA synthetic activity were generally higher in experimental group than control group. Expressions of type I collagen mRNA were higher at 5 day group and much lower at 10 day group in the control groups. In the experimental groups, mRNA expressions were slightly increased when 1 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 5 day group and decreased in all experimental 10 day groups. Expressions of osteopontin mRNA were higher at 20 day groups and lower at 15 day groups than the control groups. In the experimental groups, mRNA expressions were incereased when 0.1, 1 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 5 day group and in all the 15 day groups, but decreased when 0.1, 1, 10 ng/ml IGF-I were added to 20 day groups. IGF-I stimulated DNA synthetic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells during proliferation stage significantly, did not greatly changed effects on type I collagen mRNA expression and stimulated osteopontin mRNA expression at 15 day especially. In conclusion, we suggests that IGF-I have a tendency of stimulation effect of DNA synthetic activity but do not stimulate type I collagen mRNA in proliferation stage of MC3T3-E1 cell cultures, and stimulate osteopontin mRNA in differentiation stage of MC3T3-E1 cell cultures.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether increasing the Ti6Al4V surface oxide negative charge through heat ($600^{\circ}C$) or radiofrequency plasma glow discharge (RFGD) pretreatment, with or without a subsequent coating with fibronectin, stimulated osteoblast gene marker expression in the MC3T3 osteoprogenitor cell line. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to measure changes over time in the mRNA levels for osteoblast gene markers, including alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein, collagen type I (${\alpha}1$), osteocalcin, osteopontin and parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rP), and the osteoblast precursor genes Runx2 and osterix. Results: Osteoprogenitors began to differentiate earlier on disks that were pretreated with heat or RFGD. The pretreatments increased gene marker expression in the absence of a fibronectin coating. However, pretreatments increased osteoblast gene expression for fibronectin-coated disks more than uncoated disks, suggesting a surface oxide-mediated specific enhancement of fibronectin's bioactivity. Heat pretreatment had greater effects on the mRNA expression of genes for PTH-rP, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin while RFGD pretreatment had greater effects on osteopontin and bone sialoprotein gene expression. Conclusions: The results suggest that heat and RFGD pretreatments of the Ti6Al4V surface oxide stimulated osteoblast differentiation through an enhancement of (a) coated fibronectin's bioactivity and (b) the bioactivities of other serum or matrix proteins. The quantitative differences in the effects of the two pretreatments on osteoblast gene marker expression may have arisen from the unique physico-chemical characteristics of each resultant oxide surface. Therefore, engineering the Ti6Al4V surface oxide to become more negatively charged can be used to accelerate osteoblast differentiation through fibronectin-dependent and independent mechanisms.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the healing effect of Yukmijihwang-tang (YM) on femur fractured mice. Methods Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal, control, positive control, YM with low, medium, high dosage each. All groups were prepared with femur fracture and treated diffrently. In order to measure bone regeneration effects, we analysed the levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2), collagen type II alpha 1 chain (Col2a1), Sox9, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osterix genes expressed in bone. For morphological analysis, muscles were removed and femur was observed with naked eye. Results COX2 gene expression in bone marrow significantly decreased. BMP2 gene expression significantly increased. Col2a1 gene expression significantly increased. Sox9 gene expression increased as well. Runx2 gene expression in bone marrow increased, but there was no statistical significance. Osterix gene expression significantly increased. Union of the fracture site progressed more in YM group compared to the control group. The fracture union score was significantly decreased in YM group compared to the control group. Conclusions YM showed anti-inflammatory effect, promoted bone regeneration by stimulating the bone regeneration factor. In conclusion, YM can help fracture healing and it well be applied clinically to patients with fracture.

Objective: Increased gingival elasticity has been implicated as the cause of relapse following orthodontic rotational tooth movement and approaches to reduce relapse are limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sulforaphane (SFN), an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, on gene expression in gingival fibroblasts and relapse after rotational tooth movement in beagle dogs. Methods: The lower lateral incisors of five beagle dogs were rotated. SFN or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were injected into the supra-alveolar gingiva of the experimental and control group, respectively, and the effect of SFN on relapse tendency was evaluated. Changes in mRNA expression of extracellular matrix components associated with gingival elasticity in beagles were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Morphology and arrangement of collagen fibers were observed on Masson's trichrome staining of buccal gingival tissues of experimental and control teeth. Results: SFN reduced the amount and percentage of relapse of orthodontic rotation. It also decreased the gene expression of lysyl oxidase and increased the gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1 and MMP 12, compared with DMSO control subjects. Histologically, collagen fiber bundles were arranged irregularly and were not well connected in the SFN-treated group, whereas the fibers extended in parallel and perpendicular directions toward the gingiva and alveolar bone in a more regular and well-ordered arrangement in the DMSO-treated group. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that SFN treatment may be a promising pharmacologic approach to prevent orthodontic rotational relapse caused by increased gingival elasticity of rotated teeth in beagle dogs.

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Samkieumgamibang (SKG) on osteoporosis. Methods: The osteoclastogenesis and gene expression were determined in RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell. And, osteoblastogenesis was also determined in rat calvarial cell. Results: SKG decreased the number of TRAP positive cell in osteoclast. It also decreased the expression of Cathepsin K, MMP-9, TRAP, c-fos, NAFTc1 and JNK1 in osteoclast. SKG increased the expression of iNOS in RANKL-stimulated in osteoclast. Otherwise, SKG inhibited TRAP activity in osteoclast. SKG increased cell proliferation, ALP activity, bone martix protein, collagen and nodule in osteoblast. Conclusions: It is concluded that SKG might decrease the bone resorption resulted from decrease of osteoclast differentiation and it's related gene expression. And, SKG might increase the bone formation resulted from increase of osteoblast function.

We investigated whether betulin affects the gene expression, secretion and proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in primary cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes, as well as in vivo production of MMP-3 in the rat knee joint to evaluate the potential chondroprotective effect of betulin. Rabbit articular chondrocytes were cultured and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$)-induced gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4), ADAMTS-5 and type II collagen. Effect of betulin on IL-$1{\beta}$-induced secretion and proteolytic activity of MMP-3 was investigated using western blot analysis and casein zymography, respectively. Effect of betulin on MMP-3 protein production was also examined in vivo. The results were as follows: (1) betulin inhibited the gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5, but increased the gene expression of type II collagen; (2) betulin inhibited the secretion and proteolytic activity of MMP-3; (3) betulin suppressed the production of MMP-3 protein in vivo. These results suggest that betulin can regulate the gene expression, secretion, and proteolytic activity of MMP-3, by directly acting on articular chondrocytes.

Purpose: To evaulate the effects of chlorhexidine and $H_2O_2$ on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1, TIMP-2), Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL expressions in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF). Materials and Methods: $1.2{\times}10^{-1}%$, $1.2{\times}10^{-2}%$ and $1.2{\times}10^{-3}%$ CHX and $3{\times}10^{-3}%$, $3{\times}10^{-4}%$ and $3{\times}10^{-5}%$ $H_2O_2$ and mixture of CHX and $H_2O_2$ were applied to hPDLF for 1 min and 30 min. The mRNA expressions of MMP-1, TIMP-1 and 2, Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL in hPDLF were analysed by RT-PCR. Results: The result were as follows: 1. The expression of UNCL mRNA was higher than that of other mRNAs. 2. $1.2{\times}10^{-3}%$ CHX increased mRNA expressions of hPDLF as application time increased. 3. $H_2O_2$ lower than $3{\times}10^{-3}%$ increased expression of UNCL mRNA, and did not decrease mRNA expression of hPDLF. 4. hPDLF treatment with $1.2{\times}10^{-1}%$ CHX (with or without $H_2O_2$) resulted in no gene expression. 5. hPDLF treatment with $1.2{\times}10^{-2}%$ CHX (with or without $H_2O_2$) for 30 minutes resulted in no gene expression. Conclusion: Because low concentration of CHX and $H_2O_2$ increased UNCL mRNA expression of hPDLF, low concentraction of CHX and $H_2O_2$ may have an antioxidative effect.

Purpose : To investigate the effects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and quercetin (QCT) on gene expression of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC) during the differentiation in irradiated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods : When MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells had reached 70-80% confluence, cultures were transferred to a differentiating medium supplemented with 5 mM 2-DG or $10{\mu}M$ QCT, and then irradiated with 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy. At various times after irradiation, the cells were analyzed for the synthesis of type I collagen, and expression of BSP and OC. Results : The synthesis of type I collagen in cells exposed to 2 Gy of radiation in the presence of 2-DG or QCT showed no significant difference compared with the control group within 15 days post-irradiation. When the cells were irradiated with 8 Gy, 2-DG facilitated the irradiation mediated decrease of type I collagen synthesis, whereas such decrease was inhibited by treating with QCT. During MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell differentiation, the mRNA expression of BSP and OC showed the peak value at 14 days and 21 days, respectively. 2-DG or QCT treatment alone decreased the level of BSP mRNA, but increased the OC mRNA level only at early time of differentiation (day 7). In the cells irradiated with 2, 4, 8 Gy, the mRNA expression of BSP and OC decreased at 7 days after the irradiation. The cells were treated with various dose of radiation in the presence of 2-DG or QCT, the mRNA level of both BSP and OC increased although this increase was observed at low dose of radiation (2 Gy) and at the early stage of differentiation. However, when the cells were exposed to 4, 6, or 8 Gy, the increase of BSP and OC mRNAs was detected only in cells co-incubated with QCT. Conclusion : This study demonstrates that 2-DG and QCT affect differently the expression of bone formation related factors, type I collagen, BSP, and OC in the irradiated MC3T3-E1 osteoblasic cells, according to the dose of radiation and the times of differentiation. Overall, the present findings suggest that 2-DG and QCT could have the regulatory roles as radiation-sensitizer and -protector, respectively.
