Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present work was to investigate a possible mechanism of NF-κB signaling pathway and autophagy in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation, and provide experimental basis for the study of tooth eruption disorder. METHODS: Mouse osteoblast-like (MC3T3-E1) cells were inoculated with a cell density of 70%. According to the grouping experimental design, Western blot and monodansylcadaverine (MDC) detection were conducted after dosing for 24 h. The cells were divided into the following five groups: blank control group; 6.25 µg/mL SN50 group; 12.5 µg/mL SN50 group; 25 µg/mL SN50 group and 50 µg/mL SN50 group. RESULTS: Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of LC3 protein was present in the blank control group; 6.25 µg/mL SN50 group; 12.5 µg/mL SN50 group and 50 µg/mL SN50 group, with no significant differences among these groups. However, the expression of LC3 protein was significantly lower in the 25 µg/mL SN50 group. MDC detection showed that, in the blank control group; 6.25 µg/mL SN50 group; 12.5 µg/mL SN50 group and 50 µg/mL SN50 group, there was obvious green fluorescence in the cytoplasm of the osteoblasts. However, in the 25 µg/mL SN50 group, it was found that there were significantly fewer green fluorescent particles. CONCLUSION: The osteoblast itself had a strong function of autophagy. The appropriate concentration of SN50 in blocking the NF-κB pathway of the osteoblast was associated with the obvious inhibition of autophagy. However, the relationship between NF-κB signaling pathway and autophagy in the process of tooth eruption requires further study.
