Endogenous estrogen deficiency usually causes the systemic osteoporosis including the jaw bones. However, it remains unclear whether estrogen deficiency can affect the tooth mineralization. In this study, the classical osteoporotic rat model was established via the ovariectomy, which was subsequently confirmed by the detection of serum estradiol levels and body weights. The mineralization-related assays were performed to observe the potential changes in mineralized tissues of rat lower incisors. The clinical crown length, compressive strength, radiodensity, and calcium content in the ovariectomy group (OVX) were significantly downregulated (P < 0.01), as compared with the sham operation group (Sham). Histological results revealed that OVX incisors presented the thinner predentin structures than Sham incisors. Immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay further demonstrated that the odonto/osteoblast specific proteins (e.g., dentin sialoprotein, runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, and osteocalcin) in the dentin-pulp complex of OVX incisors were significantly decreased in comparison with Sham counterparts. Together, estrogen deficiency reduces the dentinogenic capacity and calcium deposition in rat incisors, indicating that estrogen plays an important role in the dentinogenesis.
内源性雌激素缺乏通常会导致包括颌骨在内的全身性骨质疏松。然而,雌激素缺乏是否会影响牙齿矿化仍不清楚。在本研究中,通过卵巢切除术建立了经典的骨质疏松大鼠模型,随后通过检测血清雌二醇水平和体重进行了确认。进行了矿化相关检测,以观察大鼠下切牙矿化组织的潜在变化。与假手术组(Sham)相比,卵巢切除组(OVX)的临床冠长、抗压强度、放射密度和钙含量均显著下调(P < 0.01)。组织学结果显示,OVX切牙的前期牙本质结构比Sham切牙更薄。免疫组织化学染色和蛋白质印迹分析进一步表明,与Sham切牙相比,OVX切牙髓牙本质复合体中的成牙本质/成骨细胞特异性蛋白(如牙本质涎蛋白、 runt相关转录因子2、osterix和骨钙素)显著减少。总之,雌激素缺乏会降低大鼠切牙的牙本质形成能力和钙沉积,表明雌激素在牙本质形成中起重要作用。
