CLINICAL DENTISTRY AND RESEARCH

INTRODUCTION

Periodontal ligament (PDL) plays an important role in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. There are many reports on the effects of nicotine or mechanical stress on periodontal tissue.1-4 It is widely accepted that nicotine acts on cellular and tissue metabolism. Few studies, however, have investigated the action of the nicotine on orthodontic tooth movement. In a study investigating how nicotine influenced speed of orthodontic tooth movement, Sodagar et al.5 observed a dose-dependent accelerating effect. Kirschneck et al.6 reported that application of orthodontic force in vivo led to a significant increase in nicotine-induced periodontal bone loss. Meanwhile, Shintcovsk et al.7 reported that nicotine affected bone remodeling during orthodontic treatment and that delaying the collagen maturation process in the developing bone matrix resulted in slower tooth movement. Thus, the evidence on the effects of nicotine on tooth movement is conflicting. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), which is normally expressed by mesenchymal cells, including those found in PDL, is a key factor in osteoclast differentiation and activation.3 This protein binds to RANK, which is present in pre-osteoclast membrane, promoting an increase in nuclear factors responsible for eliciting differentiation into osteoclasts. On the other hand, osteoprotegerin (OPG) acts as a decoy receptor for RANKL, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis by preventing RANKL-RANK interactions. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, regulates immune responses at sites of inflammation. It also exhibits autocrine/paracrine activity, stimulating osteoclast formation and the bone resorption activity of preformed osteoclasts.8 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the primary mediator of angiogenesis, serves various biological functions. It increases vascular permeability and is also involved in bone resorption.9,10 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nicotine on PDL cells cultured under mechanical stress in terms of expression of RANKL, OPG, IL-6, and VEGF.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

PDL cell culture

The study protocol complied with the Guidelines for the Treatment of Experimental Animals at Tokyo Dental College (Approval number: 272801). Periodontal tissues were obtained from the upper incisors of 4-week-old, male, Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 100 g each (Sankyo Labo

Service, Tokyo, Japan) according to the method of Inoue et al.11 The lingual root surface was placed on a dish for culture of PDL-derived cells. The derived cells were then incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere comprising 95% air and 5% CO2 for primary culture using α-minimal essential medium (Gibco, Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 0.4% gentamycin (Sigma) and 0.1% fungizone (Gibco). Periodontal ligament-derived cells obtained at the fifth passage were used for all experiments.

Mechanical stress

The PDL-derived cells were centrifuged using a desk centrifuge (Himac CT6D, Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) for 20 min at 2000 rpm (11.7 kPa, 573 g, 119 g/cm2). The following equation was used to determine how much force should be used: P= (mXrXrpm2Xπ2)/(AX9.8X900), where P= kg pressure per cm2 cells, m= mass of medium (0.001 kg), r= radius (0.09 m), rpm= revolution/min (2000), and A= area of contact between medium and cells (3.38 cm2).12 This amount of centrifugal force is nearly equivalent to that produced by clinical orthodontics.13

Nicotine concentration

Nicotine (Wako, Tokyo, Japan) was used at 20 ng/ml based on reported plasma levels in smokers.2,14 The concentration of nicotine to be used was determined in preliminary experiments.

Experimental design

The PDL-derived cells in the experimental group were exposed to both nicotine and mechanical stress (NI+MS). The other cells were divided into 3 groups: one in which the PDL-derived cells were exposed to neither mechanical stress nor nicotine (control group, CONT); one in which they were exposed to nicotine only (nicotine group, NI); and one in which they were exposed to mechanical stress only (mechanical stress group, MS). The cells were seeded at a density of 5.0 x 103 cells per cm2 in 12-well dishes (BD Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Two days later, the medium was changed and the MS and NI + MS groups exposed to centrifugal force (Figure 1)

Immunofluorescence Staining

At day 1 (24 hr) after commencement of culture, the cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed in 10% formalin for 30 min at room temperature, and permeabilized in 1% Triton X-100 (IBI Scientific, Peosta, IA, USA) for 5 min. The cells

were then washed twice with PBS. Non-specific binding was blocked with 1% BSA (BSA; Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA). The primary antibody used was anti-RANKL goat polyclonal antibody (1:50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and the secondary antibody used was rabbit anti-goat IgG conjugated to Alexa Fluor 555 (1:100, Invitrogen). Alexa Fluor phalloidin (1:100, Invitrogen) was used for staining of filamentous actin (F-actin) and DAPI (4’,6-diamino-2-phenylindole; 1:100, Invitrogen) for identification of nuclei. Immunofluorescence was observed using a LSM5 Duo confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Oberkochen, Germany) and ZEN 2012 imaging software (Carl Zeiss Microimaging). Shooting conditions were as follows: total magnification, 63 x; channels/filters, 405/420-480, 488/505-550, and 543/548-687.

RT-PCR analysis

At day 1 (24 hr) after commencement of culture, total RNA from the cells in each group was isolated with an RNeasy Kit (Qiagen, Tokyo, Japan) according to the protocol provided by the manufacturer. The quantity of isolated RNA in each tube was measured by absorbance using Nanodrop (Nanodrop ND-1000; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington DE, USA). Reverse-transcription to cDNA was performed using ReverTra Ace® qPCR RT Master Mix with gDNA Remover (Toyobo, Tokyo, Japan). RT-PCR products were analyzed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR in TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City,

CA, USA) for the target genes: RANKL (Rn00589289_

m1), OPG (Rn00563499_m1), IL-6 (Rn01410330_m1),

and VEGF (Rn01511601_m1). The TaqMan Endogenous

Control (Applied Biosystems) for the target gene GAPDH

(Rn01775763_g1) was used as a control. RT-PCR was

performed using the 7500 fast real-time PCR system

(Applied Biosystems).

Gene expression was quantified using the TaqMan Gene

Expression Assay system. Assays were performed in 20-μ

single-plex reactions containing TaqMan Fast Universal PCR

Master Mix, TaqMan Gene Expression Assays, distilled water,

and cDNA according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Applied

Biosystems). Reaction conditions consisted of a primary

denaturation at 95°C for 20 sec and then 50 cycles of 95°C

for 3 sec and 62°C for 30 sec. Relative mRNA expression

levels were determined after normalizing the cycle threshold

values for each gene with the internal control (GAPDH).

Quantitative RT-PCR analyses were reproduced 4 times.

Statistical analysisAll data except for those pertaining to immunofluorescence

staining were tested for normal distribution and

homogeneity of variance (Bartlett test) using the software

application Statcel 3 (The Publisher OMS Ltd., Saitama,

Japan). Data were analyzed statistically using a one-way

ANOVA and Sheffe’s test. A p value of < 0.05/0.01 was

considered to be statistically significant.

RESULTS

Immunofluorescence observations

The PDL-derived cells were spindle-shaped and had many

processes. No significant differences were observed in their

morphology in any group (Figure 2).

Microscopic images from confocal laser scanning of the

cells revealed that those in the CONT group were RANKL-

positive. However, levels of RANKL were much higher in the

treated groups than that in the CONT group. Furthermore,

levels of RANKL was more diffuse in the NI+MS group.

Expression of RANKL mRNA

Expression of RANKL mRNA in the treated groups was

significantly higher than that in the CONT group (p<

0.05/0.01) (Figure 3) (Table 1). There was no significant

difference between the MS group and the NI+MS group, but

expression of RANKL mRNA in the MS and NI+MS groups

was significantly higher than that in the NI group (p< 0.01).

Expression of OPG mRNA

Expression of OPG mRNA in the MS group was significantly higher than that in the CONT group (p< 0.01). Expression of OPG mRNA in the MS group was also significantly higher than that in the NI and NI+MS groups (p< 0.05/0.01) (Figure 4). No significant difference was observed between the NI and NI+MS groups.

Expression of IL-6 mRNA

Expression of IL-6 mRNA in the NI, MS, and NI+MS groups was significantly higher than that in the CONT group (p< 0.05/0.01) (Figure 5). There was no significant difference in the treated groups.

Expression of VEGF mRNA

Expression of VEGF mRNA in the NI, MS, and NI+MS groups was significantly higher than that in the CONT group (p< 0.05) (Figure 6). There was no significant difference in the treated groups.

DISCUSSION

One earlier study found that plasma nicotine concentrations in smokers generally ranged from 10 to 50 ng/ml (0.06 to 0.31 μM), with trough concentrations typically at 5 to 37 ng/ml (0.03 to 0.23 μM).14 Furthermore, in one in vitro study, vacuolization of PDL fibroblasts was observed soon after exposure to nicotine at a concentration of 1 μg/ml.2 Based on these earlier findings, the nicotine concentration to be used in the present study was set at 20 ng/ml to mimic nicotine plasma levels in smokers. A number of studies have demonstrated that various types of mechanical stress, including compressive, tensile, and centrifugal forces, stimulate expression of inflammatory-, osteogenesis- and osteoclastogenesis-related proteins in PDL cells.15-20 It has been suggested that this is due to the integrin-FAK complex acting as a mechanoreceptor.15,16 Application of strong compression forces, however, such as

by using a glass cylinder, for example, may damage or even

kill the cell, making such investigations difficult in terms

of managing culture conditions.19 It was possible to avoid

this problem in the present study by application of the

appropriate amount of centrifugal force and concentration

of nicotine.

Compression has been demonstrated to promote secretion

of osteoclastogenesis-stimulating cytokines, such as

macrophage-colony stimulating factor, TNF-α, and RANKL.4

Centrifugal force induces up-regulation of OPG expression

through extracellular signal-regulated kinase-mediated

signaling.21

Nicotine induces expression of cyclooxygenase-2 via the

α7 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)/NF-κB pathway

in human PDL fibroblasts.22-24 A predominant subunit of

nAChRs, α7 nAChR is also a potent target of nicotine binding

receptors.22 Cyclooxygenase-2 induces prostaglandin E2,

which acts via an autocrine mechanism, resulting in up-

regulation of RANKL expression in PDL cells.17 Kirshneck

et al.6 reported that RANKL expression could be increased

by applying nicotine and compressive forces to human PDL

fibroblasts. In contrast, OPG expression is decreased by

applying nicotine and compressive forces to human PDL

fibroblasts.6

In the present study, RANKL expression was significantly

higher in the NI, MS, and NI+MS groups than that in the

CONT group. However, RANKL expression was higher in the

MS and NI+MS groups than that in the NI group, and there

was no significant difference between the MS and NI+MS

groups. Moreover, OPG expression was significantly higher

in the MS group than in the CONT, NI, or EXP groups, but

there was no significant difference between the latter

three. This suggests that nicotine has no direct effect

on OPG expression, but suppresses expression of OPG in

PDL-derived cells exposed to centrifugal force. Expression

of RANKL was significantly higher and OPG significantly

lower in the NI+MS group.Taken together, the patterns of

expression of RANKL and OPG observed here suggest that

nicotine accelerates osteoclastogenesis.

A number of studies have reported up-regulation of IL-6 by

nicotine or mechanical stress.6,25,26 One such study found

that compressive force significantly increased expression

of IL-6 mRNA and that subsequent increase in release of

IL-6 occurred in a time-dependent manner.27 Many studies

have demonstrated that TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 accelerate

RANKL expression and promote osteoclastogenesis.10,28-30

Expression of IL-6 mRNA in the present study was higher

in the NI, MS, and NI+MS groups than that in the CONT

group. However, no significant difference was observed

among the NI, MS, and NI+MS groups, suggesting that IL-6

produced by PDL-derived cells in response to either nicotine or mechanical stress stimulates production of RANKL. Expression of VEGF is up-regulated by mechanical stress in periodontal tissue.9,31-33 Nakai et al.29 reported that mechanical stress up-regulated RANKL expression via a VEGF autocrine pathway in osteoblastic MC3T3-Ea cells. Few studies, however, have investigated the effects of nicotine on expression of VEGF in PDL-derived cells. One study found that nicotine significantly increased endothelial cell VEGF mRNA levels and that nAChR was present in endothelial cells.34 These findings suggest that nicotine also induces expression of VEGF in PDL-derived cells. In the present study, expression of VEGF mRNA in PDL-derived cells was significantly higher in the NI, MS, and NI + MS groups than that in the CONT group. However, no significant difference was observed among those three groups. This suggests that VEGF produced by PDL-derived cells with exposure to either nicotine or mechanical stress also stimulates production of RANKL.

CONCLUSION

Application of mechanical stress and/or nicotine enhanced expression of RANKL in cultured PDL-derived cells, stimulating production of both IL-6 and VEGF. Moreover, nicotine suppressed expression of OPG in these cells when exposed to centrifugal force, accelerating osteoclastogenesis.
