Abstract:
This study was designed to evaluate the expression of heat shock protein in tooth and surrounding tissue during the experimental movement of rat incisors, by LSAB(labelled streptavidine biotin) immunohistochemical staining for heat shock protein. Twenty seven Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a control group(3 rats), and 6 experimental groups(24 rats), to which 75g of force was applied from helical springs across the maxillary incisors. Rats of experimental groups were sacrificed at 0.5, 1, 4, 7, 14 and 28 days after force application, respectively. And the periodontal tissues of a control group and experimental groups were studied immunohistochemically. The results were as follows : 1. In control group, the expression of HSP47 was rare in gingiva, dentin and cementum, and mild in periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. But it was more evident than that of HSP70. 2. The expression of HSP47 or HSP70 was rare or mild in dentin, cementum and odontoblast of experimental group, regardless of the duration of force application, which was not different from that of control group. 3. In experimental group, the expression of HSP47 got to the highest degree in periodontal ligament and alveolar bone at 4 days after force application, and then decreased. And the expression was more evident in the pressure side than in the tension side of periodontal ligament 4. The expression of HSP70 began to increase at 12 hours after force application and got to the highest degree at 4 days, in the capillary of pulp and periodontal ligament. And the expression was more evident in the pressure side than in the tension side of periodontal ligament 5. The expression of HSP70 in alveolar bone of experimental group was rare, which was similar to that of control group.
