dc.description.abstract | Molecules of intercellular communication, such as connexin 43 (Cx43), are important during dentinogenesis since they control cellular growth and differentiation. Excessive ingestion of fluoride (F-) during the phase of dental mineralization generates alterations in the structure and function of cells from different dental tissues. In previous works, we demonstrated that chronic ingestion of F- through drinking water produced an increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and in the levels of ARNm of Cx43, osteocalcin and dentin sialophosphoprotein in pulp of rat´s incisor. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of chronic exposure to F- on the protein expression of Cx43 and morphological and molecular indicators of odontoblast differentiation. METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n=6 per group) drank water during 8 weeks, with different concentrations of F- in the form of NaF: a) 0.3 mg/L (Control), b) 10 mg/L (Treated). Subsequently, all animals were euthanized; their mandibles were extracted for histological processing and the upper maxilla to obtain incisor´s pulp tissue. Protein expression of Cx43 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. On digital microphotographs, histomorphometric parameters were analyzed: number of odontoblasts/µm2, ratio nucleus/cytoplasm, and predentin thickness. Total ARN was extracted from pulp tissue and gene expression of Hsp25, specific marker of odontoblast differentiation, was analyzed by RT-PCR. Data were analyzed by Student ?t? test. RESULTS: Immunoreactivity of Cx43 was evident in odontoblasts and increased by exposure to F- compared to controls. The F- dose used in the treated group did not modify the number of odontoblasts/ µm2, although it increased odontoblast differentiation, evidenced by the decrease in the ratio nucleus/cytoplasm of odontoblasts and expression of the differentiation marker Hsp25. CONCLUSION: Chronic exposure to high dose of F- could induce odontoblast differentiation mediated by Cx43, producing cells more capable to express genes and/or proteins essential for mineralization process.This work was funded by SECYT-UNC Y CICYT-UNLAR. | es |
