성견의 실험적 치아이동시 치주조직내 대식세포와 T-림파구의 활성에 관한 면역조직화학적 연구

AN IMMUNOHISTOLOGIC STUDY ON THE ACTIVITY OF MACROPHAGE AND T-CELL IN THE PERIODONTIUM DURING TOOTH MOVEMENT OF DOG

교정력에 의한 성견의 치아이동시 발생하는 조직변화 중 염증과 면역반응에 중요한 역할을 하는 대식세포와 T-림파구의 치주조직내 활성도를 교정력의 크기와 기간에 따라 알아보고자 하였다. 생후 1년 6개월된 성견 6마리 중 5마리의 실험군과 1마리의 대조군이 연구되었는데 실험군에서 하악 좌측에는 강한 힘(250-300g)을, 하악 우측에는 약한 힘(50-75g)을 제1소구치와 제2소구치 사이에 open-coil spring으로 적용하였으며, 실험군의 성견을 각각 12시간, 24시간, 3일, 1주, 2주에 희생시켜 얻은 조직에 $\alpha$-1-antichymotiypsin과 CD3를 이용한 면역조직화학적 염색을 시행하였다. 결과적으로 염증세포침윤은 약한 힘을 준 경우보다 강한 힘을 준 경우에서 3일째까지 더 많이 나타나다가 7일이후에는 차이가 없어졌고 견인측보다는 압박측에서 많이 나타났으며, 압박측의 파골세포 활성은 12시간째에서부터 관찰되어 증가하다가 7일째부터 감소되었는데 약한 힘을 준 경우에서보다 강한 힘을 준 경우에서 더 많이 나타났다. 견인측 치주인대의 단절과 혈관확장은 12시간째 관찰되어 증가하다가 3일째 이후에는 감소되었는데 약한 힘을 준 경우보다는 강한 힘을 준 경우에서 더 많았으나 14일째에는 차이가 없었다. 대조군의 $\alpha$-1-antichymotiypsin발현은 열구상피에서 주로 발현되었고 치주인대, 치수, 골세포에서는 음성반응을 보였으며, 실험군의 $\alpha$-1-antichymotiypsin발현은 견인측보다 압박측에서 많았으며, 3일째까지는 치경부쪽이 약간 많았고, 7일째 이후에는 주로 치경부보다는 치근단쪽에서 더 많이 발현되었다. 약한 힘을 준 경우는 $\alpha$-1-antichymotiypsin 염색이 12시간째부터 나타나서 7일째에 가장 많이 나타나다가 이후 감소되었고, 강한 힘을 준 경우에서는 3일째에서 최고에 달하다가 이후에는 감소되었다. 약한 힘을 준 경우나 강한 힘을 준 경우 모두에서 CD3에 대한 발색은 전치주조직을 통해 거의 음성으로 나타났다.

Tooth movement, the phenomena and mechanisms of which are still controversial, can be considered as part of the result of the inflammatory processes. The purpose of this study was to examine the activity of macrophage and T-cell, playing important roles in the immune reaction, in the periodontal ligament of dog, in which experimental tooth movement was performed. Six one and half year-old dogs, a control and 5 experimentals, were studied. Light force (50-75g) was applied by placing open-coil spring between left mandibular premolars ; heavy force (250-300g), between right mandibular premolars. Experimental dogs were sacrificed at 12 hours, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days since force application, respectively. And the histologic and the immunohistochemical evaluation on the obtained tissue were performed, using $\alpha$-1-antichymotrypsin and CD3 antibodies. The results were as follows : 1. There were more inflammatory cell infiltrations in heavy force group than in light force group until 3 days. But from 7 dsays on, no difference was not observed between groups ; Such an infiltration was more evident at pressure side than at tension side. 2. Osteoclastic activity at pressure side began to be seen in 12 hours, increasing until 7 days. After then it decreased ; Such an activity was more evident in heavy force group than in light force group. 3. Tearing of periodontal ligament and vascular dilatation at tension side began to be seen in 12 hours, increasing until 3 days. After then it decreased ; Such an observation was more evident in heavy force group than in light force group, but there was no difference between groups in 14 days. 4. $\alpha$-1-antichymotrypsin expression in control group was positive, mainly in sulcular epithelium, but negative in periodontal membrane, pulp, bone cells. 5. $\alpha$-1-antichymotrypsin expression in experimental group was more positive in pressure side than in tension side ; The expression was a little more positive in cervical area of tooth until 3 days, but after 7days, it was more positive in apical area. 6. $\alpha$-1-antichymotrypsin expression in light force group began to be observed in 12 hours and reached to the greatest level in 7 days, after which it decreased ; In heavy force group, it was the greatest in 3 days, after which it decreased. 3 Expression in the periodontium was almost negative.
