α‐KG Up‐regulates Autophagic Activity in Peri‐implant Environment and Enhances Dental Implant Osseointegration in Osteoporotic Mice

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Aim

The osseointegration of dental implants is impaired among patients with osteoporosis, leading to significantly higher failure rate. This study set out to investigate the potential effects of alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) on implant osseointegration in an osteoporotic mouse model.

Material and Methods

Female C57BL/6 mice received ovariectomy and bilateral first maxillary molars extraction at the age of seven weeks. Dental implants were inserted eight weeks after tooth extraction. In one of the groups, α-KG was administered via drinking water throughout the experiment period. Specimens were collected on post-implant day (PID) 3, 7, 14, and 21 for micro-CT, histological and immunohistochemical analyses. At the same time, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) treated with α-KG were interrogated for osteogenic differentiation, autophagic activity, and apoptosis.

Results

α-KG supplement in drinking water resulted in enhanced dental implant osseointegration in ovariectomized mice, with upregulated osteogenic and autophagic activity and downregulated osteoclast differentiation and cell apoptosis. α-KG treated BMMSCs demonstrated enhanced activity in proliferation, survival, colony formation, osteogenic differentiation, as well as autophagic activity.

Conclusions

Systemic α-KG supplement effectively prevents the failure of dental implant osseointegration in mice under an osteoporotic state.
