Stimulation of bone formation in the expanding mid- palatal suture by transforming growth factor-/?., in the rat

چکیده
The most intense endogenous transforming growth factor (TGF)-/?, expression was detected in osteoblasts and fibroblasts in the mid-palatal suture 24 hours after the start of palatal expansion with an immunohistochemical technique. Based on these data, local effects of transforming growth factor-/?, (TGF-/?,) in the expanding mid-palatal suture of the rat were examined. Single doses of human recombinant (rhu) TGF-/?-, (40 and 200 ng, and 1 /xg) were injected into the expanding mid-palatal suture 24 hours after expansion started. Calcein was also injected immediately, and 6 and 12 days after expansion. The width of each calcein label was measured to evaluate bone formation along the suture with bone histomorphometry. In the experimental groups, bone formation during the 12-day expansion period was stimulated significantly (P<0.05), in a dose-dependent manner, compared with that in the control group. Furthermore, bone formation during the later stage (6-12 days) of the 12-day expansion period, was still significantly higher than that in the control group. In addition, the amount of bone formation in response to a course of 3 injections of 200 ng rhu TGF-/?-, on days 3, 6, and 9 was almost equal to that induced by a single injection of 200 ng rhu TGF-/?, on day 1. These results suggest that TGF-/?, may play an important role in bone formation at the active site of the suture in response to rapid palatal expansion and application of TGF-/?, during the early stages may induce rapid bone formation.

Morphological features of the mid-palatal suture were studied in human foetuses from 4 to 9 months of intra-uterine life. The foetuses were divided into three age groups, GI (16-23 weeks), GII (24-31 weeks) and GIII (32-39 weeks). The mid-palatal suture in GI foetuses is rectilineal in form with a wide space between the palatal processes of the maxilla. The suture has a sinuous nature in GII an...

BACKGROUND The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of strontium ranelate on bone regeneration in the mid-palatal suture in response to rapid maxillary expansion (RME). METHODS Thirty-six male 6-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, ie, an expansion only (EO) group, an expansion plus strontium ranelate (SE) group, and a control group. An orthod...

Growth factors are biological mediators that have a key roll in proliferation, chemotaxy and differentiation by acting on specific receptors on the surface of cells and regulating events in wound healing.They can be considered hormones that are not released in to the blood stream but have one a local action. Some of these factors can regulate premature change in GO to Gl phase in cell devesion ...
