Cancer cells excessively express ETA and ETB receptors, and mechanical stimulation promotes the growth and migration of these cells. The autocrine and paracrine signaling of ET is involved in several cancer metabolic pathways, but how this is mediated by the ET-axis (ET and its receptors) remains to be clarified. This study investigated ET-axis-mediated autocrine/paracrine communication in rat squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in response to direct mechanical stimulation of such cells. Intracellular free Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) was determined using fura-2/AM from a rat SCC cell line (SCC-158). Direct mechanical stimulation of the SCC-158 cells using glass micropipettes to compress the cell membrane to 8 μm for 4 sec induced a transient increase in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>. This increase was also observed in the neighboring cells of the stimulated SCC-158 cells. Treatment with 10 μM Gd<sup>3+</sup> or 1 μM GsMTx4 almost completely inhibited the mechanical stimulation-induced increase in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> in the SCC-158 cells. Application of 1 μM BQ-123 (an ETA receptor antagonist) inhibited the increase in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> in the stimulated SCC-158 and neighboring cells, whereas that of BQ-788 (an ETB receptor antagonist) had no such effect. These findings suggest that rat SCC cells express the Piezo1 channel. Activation of the Piezo1 channel induced endothelin release from the mechanically stimulated SCC-158 cells. Released ET activated ETA receptors in neighboring SCC-158 cells.

This report describes a case of implant placement following maxillary sinus floor elevation using iliac bone with long-term monitoring of changes in peri-implant bone volume. The patient was a 58-year-old man who visited our clinic in April 2008 with the chief complaint of chewing problems due to missing teeth. The maxillary sinus floor bone had thinned on both sides, and bilateral maxillary sinus floor elevation using an iliac bone graft was therefore planned. In September 2008, trabecular bone containing bone marrow was harvested from the left side of the ilium, and bilateral maxillary sinus floor elevation was carried out with the patient under general anesthesia. After bone healing for approximately 6 months, a total of eight implants were placed in the maxilla under intravenous sedation in March and April 2009. A telescopic-retained implant-supported fixed bridge was attached as the final superstructure in April 2010. Regarding change in bone volume in the elevated maxillary sinus floor, a reduction in bone height was seen during the period between maxillary sinus floor elevation to implant placement. Following implant placement, however, there was no obvious decrease in bone volume, which has remained stable for 10 years following fitting of the superstructure. Maxillary sinus floor elevation with autologous iliac bone graft has thus shown long-term stability in bone volume over more than 10 years following the procedure. Rigorous follow-up of change in bone volume at the engraftment site is still needed, however.</p>","PeriodicalId":45490,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Tokyo Dental College","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The materials used for the analysis comprised intraoral photographs, panoramic radiographs, and lateral cephalometric radiographs.

The number of missing teeth in the maxilla was significantly higher than that in the mandible.

The effect of these virulence factors on the host immune response remains to be elucidated, however. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the host can recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Bacteria stimulate TLRs and activate the pro-inflammatory nuclear factor-kappa B pathway. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T. denticola on TLR pathways. Toll-like receptor 4 and TLR2 reporter cell lines, which secrete alkaline phosphatase in response to TLR signals, were infected with the T. denticola wild type, an Msp-deficient mutant, a dentilisin-deficient mutant, or their extracts obtained via sonication. Signals from TLR2 or TLR4 cells were evaluated by alkaline phosphatase activity. Toll-like receptor 2 signals were detected in all T. denticola strains and sonication extracts, while no TLR4 signal was detected. Infection with the dentilisin-deficient mutant induced the strongest TLR2 signal among the strains. Sonication extracts of the wild type and Msp-deficient mutant showed the same level of TLR2 signaling. The TLR2 signal in the sonication extracts from the wild type was inhibited by Sparstolonin B, an antagonist of TLR2, in a dose-dependent manner.
