TNF-α Inhibitor Reduces Odontoclast Formation in Diabetes Rats with Ligature-Induced Periodontitis

To determine the effect of the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in odontoclast formation, we administrated a TNF-α inhibitor in rats with diabetes rats with periodontitis. The rats included in the study were divided into three groups: control rats without diabetes or periodontitis (the C group), rats with periodontitis and diabetes (the PD group), and rats with periodontitis and diabetes treated by infliximab, the TNF inhibitor (the PD+infliximab group). The PD and PD+ infliximab groups received intravenous administrations of streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg) to induce diabetes. After 7 days of STZ injections, the mandibular first molars were ligatured to induce periodontitis. The PD+infliximab group was intrapenitoneally administrated by infliximab (5 mg/kg). On days 3 and 20 after the ligature administration, odontoclast formation along root surfaces was evaluated by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and cathepsin K immunohistochemistry. On day 3, the number of TRAP- and cathepsin K-positive cells increased more so in the PD group than in the C group. The PD+infliximab group showed a lower number of positive cells than the PD group. There was no difference in all the groups on day 20. On day 3, the cathepsin-K positive multinucleated and mononucleated cells were higher in the PD group than in the C group. The number of cathepsin-K positive multinucleated cells was lower in the PD+infliximab group than in the PD group. The PD group showed more cathepsin K-positive cells in the furcation and distal surfaces than the c group. The Cathepsin K-positive cells of the PD+infliximab group were lower than that of the PD group in furcation. These results suggest that TNF-α stimulates odontoclast formation in diabetes with periodontitis.

Ação da terapia fotodinâmica no tratamento da doença periodontal experimentalmente induzida em ratos tratados ou não com nicotina: estudo histológico, histométrico e imunoistoquímico / Action of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of experimentally induced periodontal disease in rats treated or not with nicotine: histological, immunohistochemical and histometric

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a influência da terapia fotodinâmica (PDT) como coadjuvante ao tratamento não cirúrgico da doença periodontal (DP) experimentalmente induzida em ratos tratados ou não com nicotina. Cento e oitenta ratos foram divididos em 2 grupos de 90 animais cada. Os do Grupo Controle (C) receberam aplicações subcutâneas de soro fisiológico; os do Grupo Nicotina (N) receberam aplicações subcutâneas de nicotina. As injeções foram realizadas duas vezes ao dia e iniciadas 30 dias antes da indução da DP, continuando pós tratamento periodontal até os respectivos períodos de sacrifício. A DP foi induzida através da colocação de ligadura com fio de algodão na região dento-gengival dos primeiros molares inferiores esquerdos. Após 7 dias da indução, a ligadura foi removida e, os animais foram divididos em subgrupos de acordo com os seguintes tratamentos locais: Tratamento I - raspagem e alisamento radicular (RAR) e irrigação com soro fisiológico; Tratamento II - RAR e irrigação com azul de toluidina O (TBO) e Tratamento III – RAR, irrigação com TBO e, após 1 minuto, aplicação do laser em baixa intensidade (LLLT) (GaAsAl, 660 nm, 4J), realizando a PDT. Dez animais de cada subgrupo foram sacrificados aos 7, 15 e 30 dias. Os espécimes foram processados laboratorialmente e analisados histológica, histométrica e imunoistoquímicamente. Aos 7, 15 e 30 dias, em ambos os grupos, o tratamento RAR apresentou um tecido conjuntivo desorganizado, com elevado número de neutrófilos e discreto número de fibroblastos. O tecido ósseo apresentou áreas de necrose e trabéculas ósseas finas. Nos períodos de 7 e 15 dias os animais dos grupos C e N, tratados pela PDT, apresentaram um tecido conjuntivo bem desenvolvido com moderado número de fibroblastos, discreto infiltrado inflamatório crônico e tecido ósseo moderadamente desenvolvido. Aos 30 dias, apresentaram um ligamento periodontal íntegro, organizado e com fibras colágenas paralelas entre si. O tecido...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease (PD) experimental induced in rats treated with or without nicotine. One hundred and eighty rats were divided into 2 groups of 90 animals each. Control group (C) received subcutaneous infusions of saline, group of Nicotine (N) received subcutaneous infusions of nicotine. The injections were performed twice a day and started 30 days before induction of PD, continuing after periodontal treatment until their period of sacrifice. PD was induced by placing cotton ligature in the dento-gingival region of the left lower first molars. After 7 days of induction, the ligature was removed and the animals were divided into subgroups according to the following local treatments: treatment I - scaling and root planing (SRP) and irrigation with saline; Treatment II - SRP and irrigation with O toluidine blue (TBO) and Treatment III - SRP, irrigation with TBO and 1 minute after application of low intensity laser therapy (LLLT) (GaAlAs, 660 nm, 4J), performing the PDT. Ten animals of each subgroup were sacrificed at 7, 15 and 30 days. The laboratory specimens were processed and analyzed histologically, histometrically and immunohistochemically. At 7, 15 and 30 days in both groups, treatment SRP showed a disorganized tissue with high numbers of neutrophils and a small number of fibroblasts. The bone tissue showed areas of necrosis and trabecular bone thin. At 7 and 15 days the animals in groups C and N, treated by PDT, showed a well developed connective tissue with a moderate number of fibroblasts, mild chronic inflammatory infiltrate and bone moderately developed. At 30 days, they presented an intact periodontal ligament, and organized collagen fibers in parallel. The connective tissue was well-developed, healthy and with no inflammatory infiltrate. The intragroup analysis showed that the animals in group C treated with PDT had less...

Establishment of chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure model in rats and their correlation / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective To investigate the possible correlation between chronic periodontitis(CP)and chronic renal failure(CRF)by establishing chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure model in SD rats. Methods Forty health male SD rats were divided into four groups: control group(A), CP group(B), CRF group(C), CP accompany with CRF group(D). Ten rats were sacrificed in every group at the end of week 8. The periodontal index, levels of serum Scr and BUN, the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α were examined. The severity CP and CRF was quantified by histopathology. The date was statistically analyzed. Results Animal models were established successfully. Scr and BUN in group D, BUN were higher than that in group C[Scr(120.54±21.29)junol/L vs(93.63±18.82)u,mol/L, BUN(34.20±14.44)mmol/L vs(17.77±4.15)mmol/L, P<0.05]. The kidney change of inflammation was observed in group B, the grade of PAS and Masson in group C and D were higher than that in group A(P<0.01), and that in group D was higher than group C(P<0.05). Obvious inflammation of periodontal tissue was observed in group B and D. Attachment loss level(AL)in group D was higher than that in group B[(173.60± 16.75)μm vs(124.00±23.87)μm, P<0.05]. The level of IL-lβ and TNF-α in group B and C and D were higher than that in group A(P<0.05), and IL-lβ in group D was higher than that in group B and C(P<0.05), TNF-a in group D was higher than that in group B(P<0.05). 2×2 factorial design revealed that there were interactions between CP and CRF on the numerus of Scr and BUN and AL P<0.05), and the influence of each factor on that was significant(P<0.05), no interactions were noted between CP and CRF on IL-1β and TNF-α(P>0.05), but the influence of each factor on that was significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The SD rat models can appear chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure at the same time. There is correlation between chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure. Chronic periodontitis can aggravate chronic renal failure throngh the role of inflammation.
