Boron regulates mineralized tissue-associated proteins in osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1)
Scopus
Toplam 244 atıf DOI
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of boron (B) on the cell-survival, proliferation, mineralization and mRNA expression of mineralized tissue-associated proteins. Additionally, determination of the effects of B on the BMP-4, -6 and -7 protein levels of pre-osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) was also intended. The effects of B (pH 7.0) concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 and 10,000. ng/ml) on the survival of the cells were evaluated at 24 and 96. hrs with MTT assay. To evaluate the proliferation in long term, MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of B (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1000. ng/ml) and were counted on days 2, 5, and 14. While in short term, decreased cell survival rate was observed at 1000. ng/ml and above, at long term no statistically significant difference was detected in different B concentrations applied. Slight decreases at the proliferation of the B-treated groups were determined on days 5 and 14 but one-way analysis of variance revealed that the difference was statistically insignificant. In mineralization assay, increased mineralized nodules were apparently observed in B treatment (1 and 10. ng/ml concentrations) groups. Based on quantitative RT-PCR results, remarkable regulation in favor of osteoblastic function for Collagen type I (COL I), Osteopontin (OPN), Bone Sialoprotein (BSP), Osteocalcin (OCN) and RunX2 mRNA expressions were observed in B treatment groups in comparison with untreated control groups. Increased BMP-4, -6 and -7 protein levels were detected at 0.1, 1, 10 and 100. ng/ml B concentrations. Results of the study suggest that at the molecular level B displays important roles on bone metabolism and may find novel usages at the regenerative medicine. © 2010 Elsevier GmbH.

Boric Acid Reverses Nicotine-Induced Cytokine Expressions of Human Gingival Fibroblasts

Nicotine, the major bioactive ingredient in tobacco, is a major risk factor for periodontal disease and destruction. Nicotine has been shown to stimulate the production of cytokines that are priming agents for inflammation that induces tissue destruction, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, by gingival keratinocytes and human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). Boron as boric acid has been found to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase anti-inflammatory cytokines in cells with inflammatory stress. Thus, a study was performed to determine whether boric acid reverses negative effects of nicotine on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). The viability and cytokine expressions of HGFs cultured for 24 and 72 h in control medium with no nicotine or boric acid added and in media containing only nicotine, only boric acid, or a combination of BA and nicotine were determined. Nicotine in concentrations of 10−1, 10−2, 10−3,10−4, 10−5, and 10–6 mM significantly reduced cell viability compared to the control. Boric acid at 10 and 50 ng/mL in the media partially restored and 100 ng/mL in the media fully restored the nicotine-depressed HGF cell viability to the same level as the control group. Nicotine elevated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-17 and decreased the anti-inflammatory IL-10 in HGFs at 24 and 72 h. Boric acid at 100 ng/mL in the medium prevented the changes induced by nicotine alone. The findings indicate that boric acid can inhibit or reverse nicotine-induced pathology in periodontal tissue and thus may help maintain oral and periodontal health in tobacco users.
