A unilateral posterior crossbite is a malocclusion where the low activity of the affected masseter muscle is compensated by the contralateral muscle hypertrophy. It is still unknown if, in the same condition, myogenesis with new fibre formation takes place.
the aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of myogenesis markers, such as Myf5 and MyoD, in masseter muscles of unilateral posterior crossbite patients.
biopsies from fifteen surgical patients with unilateral posterior crossbites have been analysed by immunofluorescence reactions. The results show the expression of Myf5 and MyoD in the contralateral muscle but not in the ipsilateral one. Moreover, statistical analysis shows the higher number of satellite cells in the contralateral side if compared to the ipsilateral one.
these results suggest that in contralateral muscle, hyperplastic events take place, as well as hypertrophy.
单侧后牙反合是一种错牙合畸形,患侧咬肌活动度低,由对侧肌肉肥大代偿。在相同情况下是否会发生伴有新纤维形成的肌生成尚不清楚。
本研究的目的是评估单侧后牙反合患者咬肌中肌生成标志物(如Myf5和MyoD)的表达。
对15例单侧后牙反合手术患者的活检组织进行免疫荧光反应分析。结果显示Myf5和MyoD在对侧肌肉中有表达,而在同侧肌肉中无表达。此外,统计分析表明,与同侧相比,对侧卫星细胞数量更多。
这些结果表明,对侧肌肉中发生了增生性事件以及肥大。
