چکیده انگلیسی
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells convert the orthodontic forces into biological responses by secreting signaling molecules to induce modeling of alveolar bone and tooth movement. Beta-catenin pathway is activated in response to mechanical loading in PDL cells. The upstream signaling pathways activated by mechanical loading resulting in the activation of β-catenin pathway through Wnt-independent mechanism remains to be characterized. We hypothesized that mechanical loading induces activation of β-catenin signaling by mechanisms that dependent on focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and nitric oxide (NO). We found that mechanical or pharmacological activation of β-catenin signaling in PDL cells upregulated the expression of β-catenin target genes. Pre-treatment of PDL cells with FAK inhibitor-14 prior to mechanical loading abolished the mechanical loading-induced phosphorylation of Akt and dephosphorylation of β-catenin. PDL cells pre-treated with NO donor or NO inhibitor and subjected to mechanical loading. Western blot analysis showed that the mechanical loading or pre-treatment with NO donor increased the levels of dephosphorylated β-catenin, pAkt, and pGSK-3β. Pre-treatment with NO inhibitor blocked the mechanical loading-induced phosphorylation of Akt and dephosphorylation of β-catenin. These data indicate that mechanical loading-induced β-catenin stabilization in PDL cells involves phosphorylation of Akt by two parallel pathways requiring FAK and NO.
