Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) of dental magnetic attachment system with different intensities on the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA of rat osteoblasts.

Methods

The cultured rat osteoblasts were exposed continuously to 12.5 mT, 125 mT, and 250 mT SMF for 0.5, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days, respectively. While, controls were also set up free of SMF. Realtime quantitative PCR was employed to detect the gene expression of cellular TGF-β1 mRNA and the statistical analysis was performed.

Results

Osteoblasts exposed to 12.5 mT SMF for 0.5, 1, and 3 days exhibited an increase on cellular TGF-β1 mRNA expression, as compared to those of the control group(P<0.05). Moreover, after 0.5, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days SMF exposure the cellular TGF-β1 mRNA expression in 125 mT and 250 mT groups were significantly higher than those of the control group and the 12.5 mT group (P<0.05). It showed a dose-effect relationship between the magnetic intensity and the expression of cellular TGF-β1 mRNA.

Conclusions

Under this experimental condition, the static magnetic fields of magnetic attachments can stimulate the expression of cellular TGF-β1 mRNA in rat osteoblasts, as to enchance the differentiation of osteoblasts.
