Abstract
Objectives
There is increasing evidence that inflammation and biomechanical loading can influence the effects of bisphosphonates (BP). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of tensile strain application combined with IL-1ß and clodronate or zoledronate on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPdLF) in vitro.
Materials and methods
HPdLF were cultured with 10 nM IL-1ß and 5 μM clodronate or zoledronate for 48 h. Cells were applied to cyclic tensile strain (CTS; 3% elongation) for 12 h in vitro. Cell number was analyzed directly after CTS by MTT assay. Gene expression of receptor activator of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was investigated using real-time PCR. MMP-8, TIMP-1, and PGE2 were measured by ELISA. Statistics were performed with SPSS (ANOVA, p < 0.05).
Results
Zoledronate reduced the cell number of HPdLF (60.3 vs. 100%), which was significant when combined with IL-1ß. Combined with 3% CTS, this effect was voided and cell number increased over the level of the control cells. IL-1ß led to a 10-fold increase of COX-2 gene expression. Combined with CTS and zoledronate, this increase was enhanced to a gene expression 70-fold that of control cells with related PGE2 synthesis. Clodronate neither reduce the cell number nor enhanced the COX-2 gene expression. CTS increased MMP-8 protein synthesis. Combined with BP, this increase was voided. TIMP-1 protein synthesis was increased at all conditions under CTS.
Conclusions
Mechanical loading might activate cell metabolism and abolish BP- and inflammation-induced reduction of viability. Combination of mechanical loading, inflammation, and nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates can cause pro-inflammatory effects.
Clinical relevance
Periodontal inflammation should be treated initially before BP intake to prevent decreased cell viability of the periodontium and increased inflammation, which might be enhanced by the addition of mastication forces.
