Recently, soluble TNF receptor homolog osteoprotegerin(OPG) and its membrane-bound ligand osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF) were found to regulate osteoclast formation and function, and bone metabolism. It is now well established that ODF acts via RANK expressed on hematopoietic osteoclast precursor cells to facilitate their differentiation to osteoclasts, and OPG prevents the formation of osteoclasts by interfering the binding of ODF and RANK. Expression of OPG and ODF was believed to be closely related to the pathogenesis of bone resorption and destruction from osteoporosis, periodontal diseases, malignant bone tumor, and arthritis. The periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF), located between the tooth and tooth socket, has been thought to play an important role in maintaining bone homeostasis of periodontal tissues. However, the exact mechanism by which bone formation and resorption are regulated by PDLF is not well understood. In this study we have prepared primary cultures of human PDLF from periodontium of malaligned tooth extracted due to orthodontic reason, and determined steady state or inflammatory signal-induced OPG and ODF expression using RT-PCR and western blot analysis. OPG and ODF mRNA and protein were expressed constitutively in the PDLF and these expression were slightly increased by osteotropic cytokine IL-1 ${\beta}$. Lipopolysaccharide-treated PDLF showed decrease in OPG mRNA and protein expression, and increase in ODF mRNA and protein expression. These results indicated that PDLF influence the osteoclastogenesis by OPG and ODF expression in the inflammatory situation as well as physiological condition, and thereby pathogenesis of periodontal alveolar bone destruction.

The odontogenic keratocyst(OKC) is a common developmental odontogenic cyst and represents approximately 11% of odontogenic cysts. It is decided by microscopic and histopathologic determinant rather than by clinical appearance. In this study, expression of RANKL and OPG in OKC in relation to age and gender of patient and recurrence, location of lesion were examined through immuno- histochemical study. The RANKL and OPG antibody staining were used. The obtained result were as follow. 1. Positive immunoreactivity to RANKL/OPG in all specimens was found. 2. There was no significant difference in immunohistochemical expression of RANKL relating to recurrence, location of OKCs and age, gender of patients. 3. There was no significant difference in immunohistochemical expression of OPG relating to recurrence, location of OKCs and age, gender of patients. From above results, it is suggested that activation of osteoclasts by RANKL is an important mechanism by which OKCs cause bone destruction.

In this study, we investigated primary biocompatibility and osteogenic gene expression of porous granular BCP bone substitutes with or without strontium (Sr) doping. In vitro biocompatibility was investigated on fibroblasts like L929 cells and osteoblasts like MG-63 cells using a cell viability assay (MTT) and one cell morphological observation by SEM, respectively. MTT results showed a cell viability percent of L929 fibroblasts, which was higher in Sr-BCP granules (98-101%) than in the non-doped granules (92-96%, p < 0.05). Osteoblasts like MG-63 cells were also found to proliferate better on Sr-doped BCP granules (01-111%) than on the non-doped ones (92-99%, p < 0.05) using an MTT assay. As compared with pure BCP granules, SEM images of MG-63 cells grown on sample surfaces confirmed that cellular spreading, adhesion and proliferation were facilitated by Sr doping on BCP. Active filopodial growth of MG-63 cells was also observed on Sr-doped BCP granules. The cells on Sr-doped BCP granules were well attached and spread out. Gene expression of osteonectin, osteopontin and osteoprotegrin were also evaluated using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which showed that the mRNA phenotypes of these genes were well maintained and expressed in Sr-doped BCP granules. These results suggest that Sr doping in a porous BCP granule can potentially enhance the biocompatibility and bone ingrowth capability of BCP biomaterials.

흡연이 골형성 세포의 기능을 억제한다는 것은 이미 잘 알려져 있으나 대다수의 연구가 주로 역학조사에 기초하여 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 흠연과 골형성 세포의 상관관계를 실험적으로 평가하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 인간 골육종 세포인 MG63 조골제포주를 이용하였으며, 니코틴이 조골세포의 증식, 염기성 인산분해효소의 활성, 오스테오칼신곽 오스테오프로테제린의 생성 그리고 mRNA발현에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다 MG63조골세포를 니코틴 농도가 각각 $1.0{\mu}M$,\;1.0mM, 2.5mM, 5.0mM, 7.5mM, 그리고 10.0mM,이 함유된 배지에서 1일, 2일, 3일 그리고 6일 동안 배양 실험을 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. MG63 조골세포의 증식이 저농도의 니코틴에서는 일시적으로 활성화되었지만 5.0mM 이상의 고농도에서는 억제되었다. 염기성 인산분해효소의 활성은 니코틴 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 오스테오칼신 생성양은, 배양 1일 후, 5.0mM 이하의 농도에서 증가하였으나 7.5mM 이상의 고농도에서는 감소하였다. MG63 조골세포를 3일 배양한 경우, 오스테오칼신 생성양은 1.0mM의 저농도에서도 감소하였다 니코틴이 오스테오칼신 단백질 생성과 오스테오칼신 mRNA생성에 미치는 영향은 1일과 3일에서 다소 차이가 있었다. 오스테오프로테제린의 생성양은 모든 실험군에서 니코틴을 함유하지 않은 대조군보다 감소하였다. 하지만 mRNA 수치는 단백질 생성과 상반되게 7.5mM (3일), 5.0mM (6일) 이상의 고농도에서 증가하였다.
