Purpose: Circadian rhythm is associated with the pathogenesis of systemic disease and bone mineral metabolism. This study aimed to radiographically evaluate morphological characteristics of the interalveolar septum in circadian rhythm deficient animals.Methods: Heads of 10 brain and muscle arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1)-knockout (KO) mice and 10 wild-type mice sacrificed at 36 weeks were imaged using micro-computed tomography. The mean depth from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar ridge (virtual bone sounding: VBS) of the interalveolar septum between the first and second molars, and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the interalveolar septum and the mandibular inferior cortex region were calculated. Tooth diameter was also measured.Results: The VBS of the interalveolar septum in the BMAL1-KO mice was significantly deeper than that in wild-type mice. The BMD in the BMAL1-KO mice was significantly lower than in the wild-type mice in both regions. No significant difference was observed in tooth diameter between BMAL1-KO and wild-type mice.Conclusion: These results suggest that low BMD in the interalveolar septum accelerates bone resorption in the interalveolar septum in BMAL1-KO mice.

Periodontal disease is caused by inflammation induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and involves expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), which are implicated in bone resorption. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is commonly used in the treatment of bone fracture. However, the mechanisms by which LIPUS inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines are poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the effects of LIPUS on LPS-induced expression of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and RANKL. MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated in the presence or absence of P.g. LPS and then stimulated with LIPUS for 30 min/day for a maximum of 14 days. LPS increased mRNA and protein expressions of IL-6 and RANKL on day 14. In addition, mRNA expression of COX-2 LPS was higher after 3 and 7 days of LIPUS treatment. PGE2 was induced by LPS after 7 and 14 days of culture. LIPUS suppressed all stimulatory effects of LPS. These results suggest that LIPUS inhibits LPS-induced expression of inflammation cytokines by suppressing PGE2 production and might thus have potential applications in the treatment of periodontitis.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has excellent biocompatibility as well as bioactivity, including an ability to induce osteoblast differentiation. We examined the effects of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) on osteogenic gene expression induced by MTA. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with or without (control) MTA. The expression levels of Runx2, type I collagen, and CaSR genes were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and their products were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The levels were increased significantly in cells exposed to MTA compared with control. Next, MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with MTA and EGTA (a calcium chelator), because calcium ions were released continuously from MTA into the culture. Expression levels were decreased to control levels by MTA plus EGTA. NPS2143 (a CaSR antagonist) also reduced MTA-induced gene expression. These results suggest that MTA induced osteogenic gene expressions of Runx2 and type I collagen via CaSR in MC3T3-E1 cells.
