    Notes: Osteoblasts were perceived as pivotal cells, recognized as the cells that control both the formativeand the resorptive phases of the bone remodeling cycle. Osteoblasts were an essential requirement forosteoclastogenesis though expressing or secreating bioactive osteoclast-differentiation-regulatory proteins,osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF)was the most important factor among these, ODF participate nearly inevery step of differentiation and activation of osteoclasts. In addition, intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and its receptors LFA-1 play a role in osteoclast development by affecting adhesion betweenstromal cells and osteoclast progenitors before the occurrence of ODF-ODF receptor signaling. However, itis not clear about the relationship between ODF, ICAM-1 expression of osteoblasts and differentiation stateof osteoblasts. So,the aim of this study was to investgate whether the expression of ODF, ICAM-1 dependedon the stage of osteoblastic differentiation from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(rBMSCs). Theviability of rBMSCs is reduced significantly by osteogenic inducement as differentiating into osteoblasts,ALPase activity of OS-treated rBMSCs was enhanced obviously within 9 days , declined subsequently andrecovered nearly the original level at day 14. Expression of ODF is enhanced with osteogenic differentiationguadully. whereas, expression of ICAM-1 is activated at OS-treated day 6, then keeping at a stable level.This study indicated that rBMSCs undergoing osteogenic inducement was an ideal model for studying thedifferentiation and maturation of osteoblasts. During the early stage of differentiation along osteoblasts fromstem cells to osteocytes, rBMSCs or Osteoprogenitor react somewhat differently from osteoblasts,suggesting the ability of osteoblasts to regulating differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts have beenimproved with osteogenic culture

    Notes: It was well recognized that mechanical strain plays a crucial role in periodontal tissuesremodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mechanical strain on osteoblasticprecursor cells in a collagen type I gel scaffold. Rat MSCs were isolated and cultured according tothe established method. Cells were induced with osteogenic medium, then seeded in a collagen typeI gel and mechanically stretched by application of cyclic biaxial strain 24h later. Strain cycle was setto 1 cycle/min (0.017Hz), and strain magnitude was set to 2%, 5%, 7% elongation. Cells werecollected in 0h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h and 48h respectively. ODF and ICAM-1 mRNA were analyzedby RT-PCR assay. The results shown that 2-7% elongation strain, either dynamic or static, inhibitedICAM-1and ODF expression of osteoblastic precursors, and the effects were relative tightly to strainmagnitude. The inhibition effects of dynamic strain loading group exceeded the corresponding staticstrain. This work suggested that appropriate mechanical strech may suppress differentiation ofosteoclasts through inhibiting expression of ICAM-1 and ODF. Application of mechanical stressmight have a beneficial effect on quantity of generated bone tissue and might be a important factorin tissue engineering of periodontal tissues

    Notes: The purpose of this study is to study the proliferous effect of mandibular condylarchondrocytes given static tension-stress and/or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in vitro. Thefourth-passage condylar chondrocytes were harvested for this study, and a pulsatile cellularmechanical system was used to apply stress on cells. The proliferous effect of condylarchondrocytes given continuous static tension-stress and/or TGF-β1 were examined by using flowcytometry. The experiment was divided into two parts. The first part was divided into 20 groupsaccording to different TGF-β1 dosage (0ng/ml, 0.1ng/ml, 1ng/ml and 10ng/ml) for 0, 6, 12, 18 and24 hours respectively. The second part was divided into eight groups under continuous statictension-stress (0 or 5kPa) and different TGF-β1 dosage (0ng/ml, 0.1ng/ml, 1ng/ml, 10ng/ml) for 12hours. Experimental data was analyzed with repeated interclass analysis of variance The resultsshowed that chondrocytes which were cultured under different TGF-β1dose combined with 5kPastatic tension-stress had multi-horn morphological characters, including a great quantity ofchondrocytes with division growth.TGF-β1 had a mitogenic effect on rat mandibular condylechondrocytes at the concentrations of 0.1 , 1 and 10ng/ml , and the mitogenic effect of TGF-β1 tocondylar chondrocytes were demonstrated after 12 to 18 hours, and the peak of mitogenic effectsappeared at the 18th hour (P 〈0.05) . The most active mitogenesis happened in the group whosechondrocytes was under continuous static tension-stress (5kPa) combined with TGF-β1. Theseresults proved that mechanical stimulus and TGF-β1 in vitro could influence and regulate thegrowth of condylar chondrocytes
