We subjected periodontal ligament fibroblasts to stretching strain to examine the effects on their formation of oxytalan fibers in cell/matrix layers.
Stretching increased the levels of fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 by 25% relative to the control, but did not affect the gene expression level of either type of fibrillin. Immunofluorescence and immunogold electron microscopy analysis revealed that bundles of oxytalan fibers became thicker under stretching conditions.
These results suggest that tension strain functionally regulates microfibril assembly in periodontal ligament fibroblasts and thus may contribute to the homeostasis of oxytalan fibers in periodontal ligaments.
我们对牙周膜成纤维细胞施加拉伸应变,以研究其对细胞/基质层中耐酸性纤维形成的影响。
与对照组相比,拉伸使原纤蛋白-1和原纤蛋白-2的水平提高了25%,但两种原纤蛋白的基因表达水平均未受影响。免疫荧光和免疫金电子显微镜分析显示,在拉伸条件下耐酸性纤维束变粗。
这些结果表明,张应变在功能上调节牙周膜成纤维细胞中的微原纤维组装,因此可能有助于牙周膜中耐酸性纤维的稳态。
