Abstract

The purpose of this study were to determine that dexamethasone(Dex) induces differentiation of periodontal ligament(PDL) cells to osteoblastic cells and to investigate expression of matrix Gla protein(MGP), which is one of bone matrix protein. The isolated human PDL cells and gingival fibroblasts were prepared and cultured. The fourth or sixth sub-passage cells were used in this experiments. control group, ascorbic acid and ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate treated group, ascorbic acid, ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate and l00nM Dex treated group, ascorbic acid, ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate, and 5 ${\mu}M$ Dex treated group were made for study. The results were as follows: Cellular morphological change of PDL cells according to time was investigated. At first, the cells exhibited confluent monolayer of spindle or polygonal appearance. The multilayer of cells were seen after 7 days of treatment. After 14 days, the cells lost polarity and were densely packed. The mineralized nodule formation was seen at 21 days in the only Dex treated PDL cell groups. In the gingival fibroblast groups and no Dex treated PDL cell groups, the mineralized nodule was not seen. The mineralized nodule formation of 5 ${\mu}M$ Dex treated group was higher than 100 nM Dex treated group. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity was higher in the Dex treated PDL cell groups of 14 and 21 days than 0 and 7 days. MGP was expressed in the control and all experimental groups and the expression was constant at 0,7,14,21 day. The above results confirm that Dex is affected to differentiation of the PDL cells to osteoblastic or cementoblastic cells and has dose-dependent effect for mineralization. And, MGP is expressed in the PDL cells and is not affected to mineralization of PDL cells.

치주조직 재생을 위해서는 새로운 백악질과 치조골 그리고, 치주인대의 재생이 필요하며, 이러한 재생을 담당할 세포의 분화가 필수적이다. 이러한 분화를 담당하는 것은 치주인대세포이며, 이 중 골아세포의 분화가 중요하다. 본 실험의 목적은 치주조직 재생에 있어서 중요한 요소인 치주인대세포의 골아세포성 세포로의 분화를 관찰하며, Dex가 광물화에 미치는 영향과 농도에 따른 차이를 알아보고자 시행하였다. 또한, 광물화시 발현되는 여러 골기질 단백질 중 Matrix GlaProtein의 발현양상도 관찰하였다. 교정치료를 목적으로 내원한 환자의 제1소구치 부위의 정상치은을 절제하고, 건강한 제1소구치를 발거하여 치은섬유아세포와 치주인대세포를 분리, 배양하여, ascorbic acid와 ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate 투여군을 실험1군, ascorbic acid, ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate, Dex 100nM 투여군을 실험 2군, ascorbic acid, ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate, Dex $5{\mu}M$ 투여군을 실험3군, 그리고, 단순 배양만 시킨군을 대조군으로 하여 비교하였다. 시간경과에 따른 치주인대세포 형태의 변화 양상은 초기에 방추형 혹은 다각형의 단일층 형태에서 7일경에는 세포 크기와 수가 증가하여 복합층 형태로 변화했으며, 배양 14일 이후에는 세포들의 방향성이 없어지고, 더욱 치밀해 졌다. 골 결절형성은 치주인 대세포의 Dex 투여군에서만 21일째에 나타났으며, $5{\mu}M$ 투여군에서 100nM 투여군보다 더 많이 나타났다. ALP 활성도를 비교해보면 치주인대세포에서 0, 7일 경에는 활성도를 보이지 않았으며, 14일경에 높은 활성도롤 나타냈으며, 21일에도 비슷한 활성도를 유지하였다. MGP 유전자 발현 양상은 대조군과 실험군 모두에서 Matrix Gla Protein에 대한 유전자의 발현이 나타났으며，그 발현양상은 모든 시기에서 일정하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 치주인대세포는 골아세포로의 분화가 가능하며, Dex는 농도의존적으로 광물화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. 그리고, MGP는 치주인대세포에서 발현이 감지되었으며, 광물화에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 사료된다.
