Abstract

ObjectivesThis investigation aimed to assess the differentiation inhibitory effects of ProRoot MTA® (PMTA) and Biodentine® (BIOD) on osteoclasts originated from murine bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) and compare these effects with those of alendronate (ALD).Materials and MethodsMouse BMMs were cultured to differentiate into osteoclasts with macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of NF-κB (RANKL), treated with lipopolysaccharide. After application with PMTA, BIOD, or ALD, cell toxicities were examined using WST-1 assay kit, and RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and activities were determined by resorption pit formation assay and tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP) staining. The mRNA levels of osteoclast activity-related genes were detected with quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. Expressions of molecular signaling pathways were assessed by western blot. All data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (p<0.05).ResultsMouse BMMs applied with PMTA, BIOD, or ALD showed highly reduced levels of TRAP-positive osteoclasts. The BIOD treated specimens suppressed mRNA expressions of cathepsin K, TRAP, and c-Fos. Nonetheless, it showed a lower effect than PMTA or ALD applications. Compared with ALD, PMTA and BIOD decreased RANKL-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and IκBα.ConclusionsPMTA and BIOD showed the inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation and activities similar to that of ALD through IκB phosphorylation and suppression of ERK signaling pathways.

Highlights

  • Root resorption, a complication of Dentistry, may occur after dental trauma, surgical procedure, orthodontic treatment, or bleaching.[1]

  • As resorption is mediated by osteoclasts/odontoclasts, reducing osteoclastic activity is a key to inhibit the progression of root resorption

  • Odontoclasts are multinucleated giant cells involved in the resorption of hard dental structures and are similar to OCLs regarding cellular origins, characteristics, and function including the dissolution of mineralized hard tissues.[5,6]

Summary

Introduction

A complication of Dentistry, may occur after dental trauma, surgical procedure, orthodontic treatment, or bleaching.[1]. Osteoclasts (OCLs) are multinucleated giant cells resulted from a hematopoietic monocyte or macrophage lineage.[4]. Odontoclasts are multinucleated giant cells involved in the resorption of hard dental structures and are similar to OCLs regarding cellular origins, characteristics, and function including the dissolution of mineralized hard tissues.[5,6]. In this respect, anti-resorptive drugs have been used for patients with osteoporosis, e.g. bisphosphonate was used to inhibit root resorption.[7,8]. A family member, alendronate (ALD), exhibited increased anti-resorptive capacity upon the addition of nitrogen into the side chain.[9]. Local treatment with ALD has been shown to prevent root resorption by inhibiting macrophages.[11,9]
