Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of Morinda officinalis polysaccharides(MOP) on the expression of fibronectin(FN) and fibronectin containing extra domain A(FN-EDA) in inflammatory periodontal ligament fibroblasts. METHODS: Thirty six rats were randomly divided into a control group(n=12) and a model group (n=24). The model group used orthodontic wire ligation to establish periodontitis. After three weeks, 6 rats from each group were selected and confirmed by Micro-CT to complete the modeling. The remaining rats in the model group were randomly divided into periodontitis group, normal saline(NS) group, and MOP group. In the MOP group, MOP (200 mg/kg for 3 d, 50 μL for 4 weeks) was injected into the palatal side of the left maxillary first molar of the rats. In the NS group, same volume of NS was injected, and no treatment was performed in the periodontitis group. The left maxillary tissue of rats were taken and the pathological changes of periodontal tissue were observed by H-E staining. The expression of FN and FN-EDA was detected by immunohistochemistry. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, the effect of MOP on cell activity detected by CCK-8. The fourth generation cells were divided into control group, inflammation group (10 mg/mL lipopolysaccharide), and experimental group (12.5 μg/mL MOP, 12.5 μg/mL MOP+10 mg/mL lipopolysaccharide). The expression of FN and FN-EDA was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The data were statistically analyzed using Prism 8.0 software package. RESULTS: In vivo experiments, the expression of FN-EDA in the MOP group was significantly lower than that in the periodontitis group and NS group(P<0.05), and the infiltration of inflammatory cells was reduced. However, there was no significant difference in the expression of FN in each group. In vitro experiments, compared with the control group, the expression of FN-EDA mRNA and protein in the inflammation group was significantly increased(P<0.000 1). MOP significantly reduced the expression of FN-EDA in inflammatory cells, but had no significant effect on FN expression. CONCLUSIONS: With increased expression of FN-EDA in inflammatory periodontal ligament tissues and cells, MOP may play a role in inhibiting inflammation by down-regulating FN-EDA.
