Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate effect of EMD on proliferation of HPDLCs and MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose condition in vitro. Material and method: The Human PDL fibroblasts(HPDLCs) were obtained through typical way and the cells used in this experiment were divided in 4 groups. $1{\times}10^4/ml$ HPDLCs suspension was cultured in typical DMEM and assigned to group 1. The cells cultured in DMEM which included 400mg/dl glucose are allocated to group 3. Group 2 and 4 are established by adding EMD to group 1 and 3 respectively. These control and experimental groups had been cultured for 24 and 48 hours, and MTT assay was conducted. The differences of each group in cellular proliferation was evaluated. The same experiment was conducted for preosteoblast (MC3T3-E1) with adding $25\;{\mu}g/ml$ EMD. Results: EMD had the same effect on both PDL cells and MCT3T3-E1 cells. The experimental group had more meaningful differences and active cellular proliferation than the control group did. The EMD accelerated cellular proliferation not only in normal glucose condition but also in high glucose condition. The same results were observed via MTT assay; EMD-added experimental group had more meaningful differences and showed higher cellular activity than control group did. Each experimental and control group was inspected for statistical significance through Kruskal-Wallis Test. Statistical significances were observed among these groups. (SPSS 12.0 Chicago, IL, USA, p=0.008, p=0.011) Conclusion: EMD is considered to accelerate proliferation of PDL cells and MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose condition as well as normal glucose condition.

Periodontal ligament (PDL) is the connective tissue located between the tooth root and alveolar bone. In a previous study, PDLs22 was isolated as a PDL-specific gene by using subtractive hybrid-ization between cultured PDL fibroblasts and gingival fibroblasts. It was also suggested that PDLs22 plays important roles in the development, differentiation and maintenance of periodontal tissues. However, little is known about functional study of PDLs22 using recombinant protein in PDL fibroblast differentiation and periodontium formation. In this study, in order to produce the PDLs22 recombinat protein, PDLs22 expression vector were constructed and expressed its protein in various host cell and temperature conditions. The results were as follows: 1. PDLs22 protein was not strongly expressed In the induction system using pRSET-PDLs22 construct. 2. When the BL21(DE3) pLysS was used as a expression host, PDLS22 protein was strongly ex-pressed in the induction system using pHCEIIBNd-PDLs22 construct. 3. The PDLs22 protein was recognized at a molecular weight of 28 kDa in western blots. 4. Almost of the expressed PDLs22 protein was not soluble and observed like as inclusion body. 5. The protein solubility was not improved after modification of induction time and temperature during PDLs22 protein production. In this study, the system for the PDLs22 protein production was connstructed. However, the re-results suggest that further studies will be needed to produce the considerable amount of PDLs22 re-combinat protein, which can use for the periodontal regeneration.

Osteoclast action is necessary for alveolar bone remodeling in orthodontic tooth movement. The nervous system has also been reported to be associated with bone remodeling. This study was aimed to investigate the changes of osteoclasts in the periodontal ligament (PDL) space after surgical resection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Experimental rats were divided into young and adult groups. A surgical resection procedure of the IAN was carried out in the left side of the mandible and a sham operation in the right side of the mandible. The number of osteoclasts on the bundle bone surface and the resorption activity of the osteoclasts were histomorphometrically measured. The changes in distribution of substance P (SP) immunoreactive (IR) nerve fiber were evaluated in the PDL and pulp. SP-IR nerve fiber was depleted in both the PDL and pulp of the IAN resection side in both groups, which confirmed the resection of IAN to be successfully conducted. The number of osteoclasts in the IAN resection side was significantly reduced in both the young and adult groups (p<0.01 and p<0.05), whereas the resorption activity of osteoclasts did not show any significant difference between the IAN resection side and the sham operation side in both groups (p>0.05 and p<0.05). The adult group showed that the number of osteoclasts reduced significantly (p<0.01) and the resorption activity didn't change in comparison with the young group (p>0.05). These results suggest that surgical resection of the IAN and aging reduce the population of the recruited osteoclasts within the PDL, but don't affect on the osteoclastic resorption activity.

It has been focused on the importance of the host inflammatory response in periodontal pathogenesis and progression, treatment has been introduced to control the host response and the method, which diminishes production and activity of MMP by doxycycline, has been used in periodontal field. MMP is a proteolytic enzyme which plays a major role in tissue destruction and MMP-1 is secreted in the periodontally healthy tissue, while MMP-8, 9, 13, etc in the inflammatory state. Among these, MMP-13 has been discovered lately and reported to degrade primarily type II collagen. Periodontal ligament (PDL) cell plays a role in destruction of periodontal tissue. This study was to evaluate the effect of doxycycline and mefenamic acid, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug on MMP-13 mRNA expression in the rat PDL cell. Doxycycline concentration of $1{\sim}100\;{\mu}g/ml$ was added rat PDL cell and cell activity was measured by MIT assay at day 1 and 3. MMP-13 gene expression was evaluated by RT-PCR after PDL cells were pre-treated for 1hour with doxycycline (50 ${\mu}g/ml$) alone or with mefenamic acid ($10^{-6}M$), then added $IL-1{\beta}$(1.0 ng/ml) and incubated for 16-18 hours. The results are as follows: 1. Cell activity decreased Significantly at 24 and 72 hours in 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ (p<0.05). 2. Level of MMP-13 mRNA was in 20.2% increase by $IL-1{\beta}$ and in pre-treating doxycycline group, expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ induced MMP-13 mRNA was inhibited by 31% than $IL-1{\beta}$ treated only. 3. Mefenamic acid did not inhibit on the expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ induced MMP-13 mRNA, while mefenamic acid in combination with doxycycline inhibited the expression by 41% compared to only $IL-1{\beta}$ stimulation. These results suggest that doxycycline synergistically inhibit the expression of $IL-1{\beta}$ induced MMP-13 mRNA in combination with mefenamic acid.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) would influence healing of periapical tissues by modulating the production of growth factors and cytokines from PDL fibroblasts, however, the studies are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to monitor the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 $(TGF-\beta1)$, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) from PDL fibroblasts in the presence of MTA. The human PDL fibroblasts were seeded onto the set MTA or IRM at a level of $1\times10^5$ cells per unit well, and further incubated for 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours. The levels of $TGF-\beta1$, FGF-2 and IL-6 from the supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The level of $TGF-\beta1$ was down-reg ulated when the cells were grown in the presence of MTA except at 6 hours. The levels of FGF-2 release were significantly suppressed when PDL fibroblasts were grown in the presence of MTA or IRM at all time intervals (p < 0.05). The expressions of IL-6 from MTA treated co)Is were comparable to those of untreated control cells throughout the observation periods. We presume that this material inhibits the stimulatory function of growth factors on granulation tissue formation and in turn, it promotes the healing process modulated by other bone-remodeling cells.
