{Abstract}: OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the influence of glucose regulated protein (GRP) 78 on osteoblast differentiation in periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) under cyclic mechanical stretch and determine the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: FlexCell 5000 cell mechanical device was applied to simulate the stress environment of orthodontic teeth. GRP78High and GRP78Low subpopulation were obtained by flow sorting. Gene transfection was performed to knockdown GRP78 and c-Src expression and overexpress c-Src. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Runt-related gene 2 (RUNX2), Osterix, osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN). Immunoprecipitation assay was used to determine the interaction of GRP78 with c-Src. The formation of cellular mineralized nodules was determined by alizarin red staining.
RESULTS: GRP78 was heterogeneously expressed in PDLFs, and GRP78High and GRP78Low subpopulations were obtained by flow sorting. The osteogenic differentiation ability and phosphorylation level of c-Src kinase in the GRP78High subpopulation were significantly increased compared with those in GRP78Low subpopulation after cyclic mechanical stretch (P<0.05). GRP78 interacted with c-Src in PDLFs. The overexpression c-Src group showed significantly increased osteogenic differentiation ability than the vector group (P<0.05), and the sic-Src group showed significantly decreased osteogenic differentiation ability (P<0.05) after cyclic mechanical stretch.
CONCLUSIONS: GRP78 upregulates c-Src expression by interacting with c-Src kinase and promotes osteogenic differentiation under cyclic mechanical stretch in PDLFs.
目的: 探讨在周期性牵张力作用下葡萄糖调节蛋白78(GRP78)对牙周膜成纤维细胞成骨分化的影响,并阐述其机制。方法: 应用FlexCell 5000细胞应力装置模拟牙齿正畸受力环境;应用流式细胞术细胞分选技术获得牙周膜成纤维细胞GRP78高表达细胞和GRP78低表达细胞;采用基因转染技术敲减GRP78、c-Src的表达以及过表达c-Src;蛋白质印迹实验检测成骨转录因子Runt相关基因2(RUNX2)、锌指结构转录因子(Osterix)以及成骨标志蛋白骨钙蛋白(OCN)、骨桥蛋白(OPN)的表达;免疫共沉淀实验检测GRP78与c-Src激酶的相互作用;茜素红染色实验检测细胞矿化结节的形成。结果: GRP78在牙周膜成纤维细胞呈异质性表达,流式分选实验获得GRP78高表达和GRP78低表达细胞。周期性牵张力处理后,与GRP78低表达细胞相比,GRP78高表达细胞成骨分化能力及c-Src激酶磷酸化水平均升高,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);GRP78与c-Src激酶存在相互作用;与对照组相比,过表达c-Src组细胞成骨分化能力升高(P<0.05),sic-Src组细胞成骨分化能力降低(P<0.05)。结论: GRP78通过与c-Src激酶相互作用并上调其表达,进而促进周期性牵张力诱导的牙周膜成纤维细胞成骨分化。.
