Objective@#Yingying, Email: yywdentist@163.com, Tel: 86⁃28⁃85503579 【Abstract】 Objective To explore the effect of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 on the regulation of bone metabolism in a high⁃glucose environment and to provide evidence for the possible regulatory mechanism of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 on osteoblasts in a high⁃glu⁃ cose environment.@* Methods@#The osteoblast cell line MC3T3⁃E1 was cultured in 3 groups: ① control group, cultured in low⁃glucose (5.5 mmol/L) DMEM; ② high⁃glucose group: cultured in high⁃glucose (22 mmol/L) DMEM; ③ high⁃glu⁃ cose +1,25(OH) 2 D 3 group: high⁃glucose DMEM + 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 medium culture. The CCK⁃8 method was used to detect cell proliferation in each group; Annexin V and FITC apoptosis kits were used to detect apoptosis; Alizarin red was used to semiquantitatively analyze cell differentiation; qRT⁃PCR was used to detect forkhead transcription factor⁃1 (forkhead transcription factor 1, FoxO1) mRNA expression. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the changes in FoxO1 pro⁃ tein expression and its relative position in the nucleus.@* Results@#ence was used to observe the changes in FoxO1 pro⁃ tein expression and its relative position in the nucleus. Results Our analysis showed that compared with those in the control group, the osteoblast apoptosis and proliferation in the high⁃glucose group were improved, while differentiation was inhibited (P < 0.05); at the same time, the mRNA expression of FoxO1(P = 0.006) was reduced. The immunofluores⁃ cence results showed that more FoxO1 was inside the nucleus (P < 0.001). Compared with those in the high⁃glucose group, excessive proliferation was inhibited, apoptosis was reduced, and osteogenic differentiation was improved in the high⁃glucose +1,25(OH) 2 D 3 group (P < 0.05); furthermore, FoxO1 mRNA was decreased (P = 0.006), and the transfer of FoxO1 protein was blocked (P < 0.001).@* Conclusion @#re, FoxO1 mRNA was decreased (P = 0.006), and the transfer of FoxO1 protein was blocked (P < 0.001). Conclusion We found that 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 may prevent the transfer of FoxO1 to the cell nucleus, inhibit the abnormal proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblasts in a high⁃glucose environment, and re⁃ verse the inhibitory effect of high glucose on the differentiation of osteoblasts.
RESUMEN
Our research aimed to look into the clinical traits and genetic mutations in sporadic non-syndromic anodontia and to gain insight into the role of mutations of PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2 and EDA in anodontia phenotypes, especially for the PAX9. Material and Methods The female proband and her family members from the ethnic Han families underwent complete oral examinations and received a retrospective review. Venous blood samples were obtained to screen variants in the PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2, and EDA genes. A case-control study was performed on 50 subjects with sporadic tooth agenesis (cases) and 100 healthy controls, which genotyped a PAX9 gene polymorphism (rs4904210). Results Intra-oral and panoramic radiographs revealed that the female proband had anodontia denoted by the complete absence of teeth in both the primary and secondary dentitions, while all her family members maintained normal dentitions. Detected in the female proband were variants of the PAX9 and AXIN2 including A240P (rs4904210) of the PAX9, c.148C>T (rs2240308), c.1365A>G (rs9915936) and c.1386C>T (rs1133683) of the AXIN2. The same variants were present in her unaffected younger brother. The PAX9 variations were in a different state in her parents. Mutations in the MSX1 and EDA genes were not identified. No significant diferences were found in the allele and genotype frequencies of the PAX9 polymorphism between the controls and the subjects with sporadic tooth agenesis. Conclusions These results suggest that the association of A240P with sporadic tooth agenesis still remains obscure, especially for different populations. The genotype/phenotype correlation in congenital anodontia should be verified. .
