Static magnetic field (SMF) promoting bone tissue remodeling is a potential non-invasive therapy technique to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). The periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), which are mechanosensitive cells, are essential for force-induced bone remodeling and OTM. However, whether and how the PDLSCs influence the process of inflammatory bone remodeling under mechanical force stimuli in the presence of SMFs remains unclear. In this study, we found that local SMF stimulation significantly enhanced the OTM distance and induced osteoclastogenesis on the compression side of a rat model of OTM. Further experiments with macrophages cultured with supernatants from force-loaded PDLSCs exposed to an SMF showed enhanced osteoclast formation. RNA-seq analysis showed that interleukin-6 (IL-6) was elevated in force-loaded PDLSCs exposed to SMFs. IL-6 expression was also elevated on the pressure side of a rat OTM model with an SMF. The OTM distance induced by an SMF was significantly decreased after injection of the IL-6 inhibitor tocilizumab. These results imply that SMF promotes osteoclastogenesis by inducing force-loaded PDLSCs to secrete the inflammatory cytokine IL-6, which accelerates OTM. This will help to reveal the mechanism of SMF accelerates tooth movement and should be evaluated for application in periodontitis patients.
静磁场(SMF)促进骨组织重塑是一种潜在的非侵入性治疗技术,可加速正畸牙齿移动(OTM)。牙周膜干细胞(PDLSCs)是对力敏感的细胞,对于力诱导的骨重塑和 OTM 是必不可少的。然而,在 SMF 存在的情况下,PDLSCs 是否以及如何影响机械力刺激下炎症性骨重塑的过程尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们发现局部 SMF 刺激显着增加了 OTM 距离,并在 OTM 大鼠模型的压缩侧诱导破骨细胞形成。进一步的实验表明,与在 SMF 下暴露于力加载的 PDLSCs 的上清液中培养的巨噬细胞一起,破骨细胞形成增强。RNA-seq 分析显示,SMF 下暴露于力加载的 PDLSCs 中白细胞介素 6(IL-6)升高。在具有 SMF 的大鼠 OTM 模型的压力侧,IL-6 的表达也升高。IL-6 抑制剂托珠单抗注射后,SMF 诱导的 OTM 距离显着降低。这些结果表明,SMF 通过诱导力加载的 PDLSCs 分泌促炎细胞因子 IL-6 来促进破骨细胞形成,从而加速 OTM。这将有助于揭示 SMF 加速牙齿移动的机制,应在牙周炎患者中进行评估。
