RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the modulating effect of ionizing radiation, blood cytokine levels, and bone remodeling of the interface around the implant to understand the radiation mechanisms which can impair the implants receptor site. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty rats were submitted to grade V titanium implants in the femurs and were divided into the following groups: no-irradiation (N-Ir): control group with implant only; early-irradiation (E-Ir): implant + irradiation after 24 h; late-irradiation (L-Ir): implant + irradiation after 4 weeks; and previous-irradiation (P-Ir): irradiation + implant after 4 weeks. The animals in the E-Ir, L-Ir, and P-Ir groups were irradiated in two fractional stages of 15 Gy. At 3 days, 2 weeks, and 7 weeks after the final procedure, five animals were randomly euthanized per group. Serum levels of TNF-É, IL-1ß, TGF-ß, IL-6, M-CSF, and IL-10 were measured from blood collected prior to euthanasia using the ELISA test. The pieces containing the implants were subjected to immunohistochemical labeling using the tartrate acid resistant to phosphatase, osteocalcin, and caspase-3 markers and mCT. The ANOVA test was used for statistical analysis, and the Tukey multiple comparison test (p < 0.05) was applied. RESULTS: The results indicated that ionizing radiation modifies the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory serum cytokines, the expression of proteins involved in bone remodeling and cellular apoptosis, as well as changes in bone formation. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggests that a longer period between radiotherapy and implant placement surgery when irradiation occurs prior to implant installation would allow the recovery and renewal of bone cells and avoid future failures in osseointegration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The search for modifications caused by ionizing irradiation in bone tissue can indicate the ideal period for implant placement without affecting the osseointegration process.

A sobrevida de pacientes submetidos a tratamentos para câncer de cabeça e pescoço está aumentando e a busca por reabilitação é necessária para promover qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o perfil da expressão gênica de transcritos relacionados na osteogênese e osteoclastogênese em uma cultura primária de células mesenquimais de fêmures de ratos submetidos a radioterapia e colocação de implantes de titânio. Setenta e dois ratos receberam implantes de titânio em ambos fêmures. Os animais foram divididos em quatro grupos: 1) Grupo controle (C): cirurgia de colocação dos implantes; 2) Implante + irradiação imediata (IrI): irurgia de implantes e seguido de irradiação imediata; 3) Implante + irradiação tardia (IrT): cirurgia de implantes e irradiação após 4 semanas; 4) Irradiação prévia + implantes (IrP): irradiação e após 4 semanas cirurgia de implantes. A dose de irradiação foi de 30 Gy fracionadas em duas sessões. As eutanásias nos períodos de 3, 14 e 49 dias após o tratamento. A células cultivadas sofreram diferenciação em osteoblastos. A expressão gênica dos genes Fosfatase alcalina (Alp), Colágeno 1 (Col-1), Integrina !1 (Itg ! ), Osteocalcina (Bglap), Osteopontina (Osp), Osteonectina (Osn), Sialoproteína Óssea (Bsp), Fator de crescimento transformador (Tgf- ! ), Osterix (Osx),Fator relacionado ao Runt (Runx2), Fator estimulador de colônias de macrófagos (M-csf), Interleucina -6 (Il-6) Apolipoproteína E (Apo-E), Prostaglandina E2 (PgE2), foram avaliados por qRT-PCR e os resultados validados por ELISA. A expressão mais alta de Alp foi encontrada no grupo IrP (p=0.0001) e foi subexpressa nos grupos IrI e IrT (p<0.0001 e p=0.0041 respectivamente). Resultados similares foram encontrados nos transcritos de Itg !, On, Bsp, Osx e Runx2. mRNA do Tgf- ! foi hiperexpresso em todos os grupos principalmente aos 49 dias. Depois de 49 dias, os níveis de proteína da Bglap e Il-6 foram correlacionados com a expressão do mRNA.

Prognosis of patient submitted to head and neck cancer treatment has increased and the oral rehabilitation becomes necessary to improve their life quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gene expression profile of transcripts related to osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis in primary culture of mesenchymal cells from rat femurs submitted to radiotherapy and installation of pure titanium implant. Seventy two rats received titanium implants in both femurs. The animals were divided in four groups: 1- Control (C) implant surgery; 2- Implant + immediate irradiation after 24 hours (IrI); 3- Implant + late irradiation after 4 weeks (IrL); 4- Implant + Previous irradiation 4 weeks before surgery (IrP) irradiation. The irradiation dose was 30Gy fractioned in two. The animals were euthanized in day 3, 14 and 49 after surgery. The mesenchymal cells from femurs were extracted and cultivated. The differentiation into osteoblastic cells was verified by calcification nodules formation. The gene expression of Alkaline Phosphatase (Alp), Collagen 1 (Col 1), Integrin ß1 (ItgB1), Osteocalcin (Bglap), Osteopontin (Osp), Osteonectin (Osn), Bone Sialoprotein (Bsp), Transforming Growth Factor ß-type (Tgf-ß), Osterix (Osx), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Macrophage Colony- Stimulating Factor (Mcsf), Interleukin-6 (Il-6), Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and Prostaglandin E2 (PgE2) were evaluated by qRT-PCR and the results were validated by ELISA test. Higher mRNA of Alp expression was found in IrP group (p=0.0001) and it was downregulated in IrI and IrT groups (p<0.0001 and p=0.0041, respectively). Similar results were found for transcript levels of ItgB1, Osn, Bsp, Osx and Runx2. mRNA of Tgf-ß was overexpressed in all groups mainly in 49 days. After 49 days, Osn and Bsp transcripts were downregulated in the 3 groups evaluated. The Bglap and IL-6 protein level was correlated to their mRNA expression. The radiotherapy alters immediately the differentiation and activity of mesenchymal cells from rat femurs; however these cells seem to recover becoming suitable for receiving implants(AU)
