doi:10.19439/j.sjos.2021.04.003

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: Porphyromonas endodontalis (P.e) is the dominant bacterium in the infected canal of pulpal and periapical disease.Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the outer membrane of the cell wall is an important toxicity factor of P.e. In this study, the effect of P.e-LPS on osteoblast differentiation was studied, and the pathogenic mechanism of P.e-LPS in periapical bone resorption disease was explored. METHODS: Porphyromonas endodontalis was cultured under anaerobic conditions. P.e-LPS was extracted by thermophenol water method, and then the extracted LPS was qualitatively analyzed by gel limulireagent method. Preosteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1 were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts by osteoblast differentiation medium (50 μg/mL ascorbic acid,6 mmol/L beta-glycerphosphate). Expressions of osteogenic differentiation genes including distal-less homeobox 5（DLX5）, runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), Osterix, bone sialoprotein (BSP), OCN(osteocalcin) and Collagen were detected by RT-PCR. The activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALP), alizarin red staining and Von Kossa staining were used to determine the mineralization level of osteoblasts.The expression of TOLL-like receptor-4 (TLR-4), the receptor of P.e-LPS, was silenced by siRNA transfection. SPSS 11.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS: The mRNA expressions of osteogenic differentiation genes including DLX5, Runx2, Osterix, OCN, BSP, and Collagen were significantly decreased after treated with P.e-LPS (10 μg/mL) for 3 d, compared with the control group（P< 0.05）.After treated with P.e-LPS (10 μg/mL) for 7 d or 14 d, respectively, ALP and alizarin red staining intensity was decreased. P.e-LPS was applied to the si-TLR-4 transfection group and the control group for 7,14 and 21 d, respectively. Compared with the control group, the expression level of osteogenic differentiation genes, ALP, alizarin red staining and Von Kossa staining intensity of si-TLR-4 group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: P.e-LPS inhibits the differentiation of osteoblasts through TLR-4 receptor, thus participating in bone resorption process of periapical lesions.
