Expression of MMP-9 and -13 on the Pressure Side under Orthodontic Loading

چکیده
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-13 on compression side of tooth movement. Material and Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were used for this experiment. Maxillary right first molar was moved orthodontically with a constant force of 20 g and on the side of the maxillary left first molar was used as control group. On the 4th, 10th and 17th days after experiment, 5 rats were euthanized, respectively. Histologic process was processed for immunohistochemical staining of MMP-9 and -13. Results: MMP-9 and -13 expressions were upregulated at day 4 after tooth movement. The expression of MMP-9 was not observed at days 7, 10 and 14, while the expression of MMP-13 was greatly increased at days 7 and 10. Conclusion: This study suggests that different characteristics of MMPs expression may contribute to the remodeling process of collagen fibers in the PDL during tooth movement.

This randomized split-mouth study aimed to examine the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) -1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -12, and -13 in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) at different time points during orthodontic tooth movement. A total of 16 healthy orthodontic subjects (7 females, 9 males; mean age, 17.7 years) who needed their first upper premolars extracted were enrolled. One randomly chos...
متن کاملMeniscal tissue explants response depends on level of dynamic compressive strain.
OBJECTIVE Following partial meniscectomy, the remaining meniscus is exposed to an altered loading environment. In vitro 20% dynamic compressive strains on meniscal tissue explants has been shown to lead to an increase in release of glycosaminoglycans from the tissue and increased expression of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha). The goal of this study was to determine if compressive loading which i...

Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression has been implicated in molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, and its abnormal level has been reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Some protective mechanisms of statins against neurodegeneration might be mediated by the inhibition of MMP-9 expression. Here, we investigated the effect of simvastatin, on the hippocampal MMP-...
