Abstract

Objective: Periodontal ligament fibroblasts have an ectomesenchymal origin and are thought to play a crucial role for not only homeostasis of periodontal tissues but also bone remodeling, wound healing and regeneration of tissues. Recently, it has been reported that UNC-50 is not expressed in gingival fibroblasts but in PDL fibroblasts. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of UNC-50 and osteocalcin in the periodontium after application of intermittent force. Methods: Twelve rats had 40 grams of mesially-directed force applied at the upper molar for 1 hour/day. Four rats were sacrificed at 1, 3 and 5 days. Immunohistochemical localization of UNC-50 and osteocalcin antibody was carried out. The results showed apposition of new cellular cementum and a slight increase in periodontal space at the tension side. Results: Strong UNC-50 expression was observed in the differentiating cementoblasts close to PDL fibroblasts in the tension side whereas it was barely expressed at the compression side. Expression was strong at day 3, and decreased at day 5. Osteocalcin immunoreactivity expression was strong in differentiating cementoblasts at the tension side. Conclusion: It can be suggested that UNC-50 is related to the differentiation of cementoblasts, and may be responsible for the molecular event in PDL cells under mechanical stress.

기계적 응력은 정상적인 발달과정 동안 조직의 항상성에 있어 중요한 역할을 한다. 기계적 응력은 치아 이동과 저작과 같은 상황을 포함한다. 치아 이동과 저작 중에 치주인대 섬유모세포는 기계적 자극을 감지하고 주위의 세포밖 물질과 생체분자 대사의 변동에 의해 반응을 보인다. 그러나 아직까지 기계적 응력 하에서 치주인대 세포에서 발현된 유전자에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 최근 기계적 응력이 초파리에 존재하는 UNC-50 유전자에 영향을 줄 수 있다고 보고되었다. 또한 UNC-50은 치은 섬유모세포와 비교해 치주인대 섬유모세포에서만 발현된다고 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 간헐적 교정력 적용 시에 백서의 치아에서 일어나는 치근 및 치주 조직의 조직학적 변화와, UNC-50의 발현 양상을 면역조직학적 염색으로 조사하여 치주인대에서 기계적 응력과 UNC-50의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. Sprague-Dawely계 수컷 백서 12마리를 4마리씩 세 군으로 나누어 상악 우측 구치부에 NiTi closed coil spring을 사용하여 40 g 정도의 견인력이 발생하도록 하여 하루에 1시간씩 간헐적인 교정력을 적용한 후 1, 3, 5일 후 치주인대의 조직학적 변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 조직학적 소견에서 상악 제1대구치 근심구개치근의 치근부 1/3에서 압박측은 안장측보다 더 좁은 치주인대공간을 보였고 교정력을 적용시킨 후 3일 후부터 인장측에서 백악모세포 활성으로 인한 백악질 침착이 관찰되었다. UNC-50은 인장측의 분화 중인 백악모세포에서 강한 발현을 보였다. Osteocalcin은 인장측에서 압박측에 비해 신생 백악질에 존재하는 분화 중인 백악모세포를 따라 강한 발현을 보였다. 이상의 연구결과는 UNC-50이 간헐적 교정력 즉 기계적 응력의 변화에 따른 백악모세포의 분화과정에 중요한 역할을 함을 나타낸다. 그러나 이를 명확히 하기 위해서는 교정력 적용 후 UNC-50의 세포내 신호전달과정에 대한 보완연구가 필요할 것이다.
