Temporal and spatial expression analysis of periostin in mice periodontitis model
Objective This study aimed to investigate the temporal and spatial changes in the expression of perios-tin during periodontal inflammation in mice.Methods A periodontitis model was constructed using silk thread ligation.Mice were randomly divided into five groups in-cluding control group,4-day ligation group,7-day liga-tion group,14-day ligation group,and self-healing group(thread removal for 14 days after 14-day ligation).Mi-cro-CT and histological staining were performed to char-acterize the dynamic changes in the mouse periodontal tissue in each group.RNAscope and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the pattern of changes in peri-ostin at various stages of periodontitis.The cell experiment was divided into three groups:control group,lipopolysac-charide(LPS)stimulation group(treated with LPS for 12 h),and LPS stimulation removal group(treated with LPS for 3 h followed by incubation with medium for 9 h).Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression of periostin,transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2).Results Significant alveolar bone resorption was observed 7 days after ligation.With increasing duration of ligation,the damage to the mouse periodontal tissue was aggravated,which manifested as increased osteoclasts,widen-ing of the periodontal membrane space,and decreased alveolar bone height.Some degree of periodontal tissue repair was observed in the self-healing group.Periostin expression decreased at 4 and 7 days compared with the control group and increased at 14 days compared with 4 and 7 days.A significant recovery was found in the self-healing group.The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of periostin and TGF-β1 in the LPS stimulation group decreased compared with that in the control group but significantly recovered in the LPS removal group.Conclusion Periostin expression in the PDL of mice showed a downward and upward trend with inflammation progression.The significant recovery of periostin expression after removing inflammatory stimuli may be related to TGF-β1,which is crucial to maintain the in-tegrity of the PDL.
