Abstract
교정력에 의한 치아 이동은 기계적인 힘에 의하여 압박측에는 다양한 구조를 가진 치주 조직에 혈류의 변화가 생기며 국소적으로 산소 장력에도 변화가 생겨 저산소 상태 가 유발됨은 이미 확인한 바 있다. 본 연구는 치아 주위 골격을 형성하는 조골세포를 대상으로 교정적 치아 이동과 유사한 시험관내 조건을 설정하여 저산소 상태 시 유발되는 조골세포 고사조절 기전을 규명하고자 시행하였다. 생리적인 저산소증의 실험조건으로 2% 산소상태를 설정하여 저산소 하에서 세포가 고사(apoptosis) 됨을 확인하였고, stress유발 시 많은 관련을 가진 것으로 알려진 p-38 MAPK의 활성을 관찰하였다. 또한 p-38 MAPK의 억제제인 SB203580의 전처치로 인하여 세포의 죽음이 억제됨을 확인하였고, 저산소 상태 시 활성형태로 분절되는 caspase-3, -6및 9등의 세포고사관련 효소들의 활성 형태로의 분절이 억제됨을 확인하였으며 이러한 caspase의 기질인 Lamin-A등의 분절 또한 억제됨을 밝혔다. 또한 마이토콘드리아 내의 cytochrome c의 세포질내로의 이동 또한 조절됨을 확인함으로써 p-38 MAPK의 조절단계를 시사하여 주고 있다. 본 연구로 치아 이동 시 유발되는 저산소 상태 하에서 발생하는 조골세포의 고사 조절에 p-38 MAPK가 관여함을 확인하였다.
Tooth movement by orthodontic force effects great tissue changes within the periodontium, especially by shifting the blood flow in the pressure side and resulting in a hypoxic state of low oxygen tension. The aim of this study is to elucidate the possible mechanism of apoptosis in response to hypoxia in MC3T3El osteoblasts, the main cells in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. MC3T3El osteoblasts under hypoxic conditions (2% orygen) resulted in apoptosis in a time-dependent manner as estimated by DNA fragmentation assay and nuclear morphology stained with fluorescent dye, Hoechst 33258. Pretreatment with Z-VAD-FMK, a pancaspase inhibitor, or Z-DEVD-CHO, a specific caspase-3 inhibitor, completely suppressed the DNA ladder in response to hypoxia. An increase in caspase-3-like protease (DEVDase) activity was observed during apoptosis, but no caspase-1 activity (YVADase) was detected. To confirm what caspases are involved in apoptosis, Western blot analysis was performed using anti-caspase-3 or -6 antibodies. The 10-kDa protein, corresponding to the active products of caspase-3, and the 10-kDa protein of the active protein of caspase-6 were generated in hypoxia-challenged cells in which the processing of the full length form of caspase-3 and -6 was evident. While a time course similar to this caspase-3 and -6 activation was evident, hypoxic stress caused the cleavage of lamin A, which was typical of caspase-6 activity. In addition, the stress elicited the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol during apoptosis. Furthermore, we observed that pre-treatment with SB203580, a selective p38 mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitor, attenuated the hypoxia-induced apoptosis. The addition of SB203S80 suppressed caspase-3 and -6-like protease activity by hypoxia up to 50%. In contrast, PD98059 had no effect on the hypoxia-induced apoptosis. To confirm the involvement of MAP kinase, JNK/SAPK, ERK, or p38 kinase assay was performed. Although p38 MAPK was activated in response to hypoxic treatment, the other MAPK -JNK/SAPK or ERK- was either only modestly activated or not at all. These results suggest that p38 MAPK is involved in hypoxia-induced apoptosis in MC3T3El osteoblasts.
