48-h stretched human periodontal ligament cells

ABSTRACT: Human periodontal ligament (HPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical stress in vivo. In this study, in utilizing DNA chips, we analyzed the influences of mechanical stress on the gene expression profile of HPDL cells in vitro. HPDL cells were obtained from extracted first premolars of individuals undergoing tooth extraction for orthodontic treatment. Then, HPDL cells were applied to a stretch apparatus. They were constantly stretched and relaxed at 0.5 Hz for 48hr with 110ï¼ force elongation. After the application of the cyclic tension force, total RNA was extracted. Then, in utilizing the DNA chips (Human Oligo 30K DNA Chip containing almost all human genes in the genome). We analyzed the differences of gene expression between the stretched and the non-stretched control HPDL cells The
