Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of inhibiting macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF) activity on bone resorption in rat peri-implantitis. Methods Twenty male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: blank control group,inflammation control group,inflammation treatment group,and inflammation solvent group. After extracting the bilateral first molars of each rat,titanium alloy cortical bone screws were immediately implanted. In all inflammation groups,peri-implantitis models were constructed by ligating the implants with silk thread. Subsequently,the peri-implant gingiva of rats in the blank control group and inflammation control group was injected with normal saline; the inflammation treatment group was injected with MIF inhibition ISO-1,and the inflammation solvent group was injected with dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) solution. Micro-CT scanning was used to observe the peri-implant bone resorption,and analyze bone mineral density(BMD) and bone volume fraction(BV/TV). HE staining was performed to observe the histological manifestations of peri-implant tissues. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of IL-6 and IL-10. Results Compared with the blank control group,the BMD and BV/TV in the three inflammation groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05); HE staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous connective tissue formation; the expression levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were increased(P<0.05). After local inhibition of MIF activity,compared with the inflammation control group and inflammation solvent group,the inflammation treatment group showed increased BMD and BV/TV,decreased IL-6 expression,and increased IL-10 expression(P<0.05). Conclusion Inhibition of MIF activity can alleviate bone loss in peri-implantitis,and the mechanism may be related to the decrease in IL-6 expression and the increase in IL-10 expression.
