We have previously determined that integrin α11β1 is required on mouse periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts to generate the force needed for incisor eruption. As part of the phenotype of α11(-/-) mice, the incisor PDL (iPDL) is thickened, due to disturbed matrix remodeling. To determine the molecular mechanism behind the disturbed matrix dynamics in the PDL we crossed α11(-/-) mice with the Immortomouse and isolated immortalized iPDL cells. Microarray analysis of iPDL cells cultured inside a 3D collagen gel demonstrated downregulated expression of a number of genes in α11-deficient iPDL cells, including matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and cathepsin K. α11(-/-) iPDL cells in vitro displayed disturbed interactions with collagen I during contraction of attached and floating collagen lattices and furthermore displayed reduced MMP-13 protein expression levels. The MMP-13 specific inhibitor WAY 170523 and the Cathepsin K Inhibitor II both blocked part of the α11 integrin-mediated collagen remodeling. In summary, our data demonstrate that in iPDL fibroblasts the mechanical strain generated by α11β1 integrin regulates molecules involved in collagen matrix dynamics. The positive regulation of α11β1-dependent matrix remodeling, involving MMP-13 and cathepsin K, might also occur in other types of fibroblasts and be an important regulatory mechanism for coordinated extracellular and intracellular collagen turnover in tissue homeostasis.

Immune evasion has made ovarian cancer notorious for its refractory features, making the development of immunotherapy highly appealing to ovarian cancer treatment. The immune-stimulating cytokine IL-12 exhibits excellent antitumor activities. However, IL-12 can induce IFN- release and subsequently upregulate PDL-1 expression on tumor cells.

Background: The study aimed to observe molecular signaling, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), to evaluate the alteration of gene expression by low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and the correlation between its mechanisms and the NF-kB pathway in cells involved in orthodontic tooth movement.
Methods: Osteoblast-like cells (MG63), immortalized periodontal ligament cells (iPDL), and M1 macrophage-like cells were irradiated by 980-nm LLLT with energy densities of 1 and 10 J/cm ΔΨm and intracellular ROS were monitored using fluorescent probes. The changes of mRNA expression were assessed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Periodontal ligament cells from patients with treated stable periodontitis: Characterization and osteogenic differentiation potential.

Background And Objective: Periodontal ligament progenitor cells (PDL cells) isolated from patients with inflammatory periodontitis have impaired regenerative capacity, but it is unknown whether this capacity can be recovered upon treatment and stabilization of the periodontal condition. The study aimed to investigate the expression of surface markers and the proliferation and osteogenic potential of PDL cells isolated from patients with treated stable periodontitis (S-PDL cells), periodontally healthy individuals (H-PDL cells), and patients with inflammatory periodontitis (I-PDL cells).
Methods: H-PDL, I-PDL, and S-PDL cells were isolated from the extracted teeth of individuals who (1) were periodontally healthy, (2) had inflammatory periodontitis, and (3) had treated stable periodontitis, respectively.

Differentiation of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells occurs under specific induction; furthermore, NF-kappaB signaling is important for regulation of bone differentiation. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that repress the translation of target genes and modulate cellular processes. miR-146a has been reported to modulate NF-kappaB signaling.
