Effects of continuous and intermittent parathyroid hormone administration on midpalatal suture expansion in rats.
Archives of Oral Biology 2019 January 26
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of continuous parathyroid hormone (cPTH) and intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH) on bone formation and bone resorption in midpalatal suture during maxillary expansion.
METHODS: Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 12 each), including the control, the expansion (E), the E + cPTH, and the E + iPTH. A thermosensitive controlled-release hydrogel was synthesized for cPTH administration. All animals were sacrificed after seven days. Microcomputed tomography, histochemical staining and real-time PCR were used to investigate the bone remodeling of midpalatal suture. Serum chemistry was adopted to evaluate the systemic condition of experimental animals.
RESULTS: The suture width was increased by the expansion, and further elevated by cPTH and iPTH administration. Both regimes improved bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness of suture bone region. Moreover, both cPTH and iPTH decreased SOST expression and enhanced the expression of β-catenin and Col-I. cPTH increased RANKL expression, inhibited OPG expression, and resulted in an increment of osteoclasts, while iPTH had no influence on osteoclastogenesis. The serum calcium concentration was enhanced by PTH administration.
CONCLUSION: Both cPTH and iPTH promote midpalatal suture expansion by enhancing bone formation, probably via SOST downregulation and the resulting β-catenin activation. Our results demonstrated that PTH administration may have potential to be an adjunctive approach for maxillary expansion treatment.
