Currently, no specific treatment has been utilized to prevent OSF. The detailed mechanism of OSF is still elusive, and this study aims to clarify the mechanism of OSF. Methods: This study was conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the long noncoding RNA PDIA3P (lncRNA PDIA3P) and FAK/TGF-β pathway in OSF. The OSF mice model was established by injecting with injected with 1000 mg/L arecoline solution, then the blood samples and oral submucosal tissues were collected from all groups of rats for further testing. HE staining, immunofluorescence, Western blot, and qRT-PCR were then used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the molecular mechanisms of the lncRNA PDIA3P and FAK/TGF-β pathway in OSF. Results: The results showed that upregulation of the FAK/TGF-β signaling pathway can accelerate OSF process, while the downregulation of the FAK/TGF-β signaling pathway can prevent the OSF process. Similarly, enhanced activity of the lncRNA PDIA3P is implicated with OSF process, while reducing its level can served as a preventative method against the OSF development. Conclusion: Upregulating the lncRNA PDIA3P and FAK/TGF-β pathway can accelerate the process of OSF.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55993,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stomatology Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"126 3","pages":"Article 102214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142933726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
