The immunohistochemical localization of prostaglandin (PG) E2, PGF2 alpha, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (a stable metabolite of PGI2) was demonstrated in rat periapical inflammatory lesions induced by opening the pulp chamber. Two wk postoperatively, suppurative periapical lesions were formed, and active bone resorption was seen surrounding these lesions. Immunohistochemical examination showed that macrophages infiltrating in inflammatory tissue were positively stained for the examined PGs. In some lesions, wherein acute inflammatory changes subsided and proliferation of fibroblasts started, the fibroblasts were positively stained for 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. Osteocytes and osteoblasts were also positive for 6-keto-PGF1 alpha not only in experimental animals, but also in untreated animals. However the staining intensity of the PG in these cells was higher in periapical lesions than in normal condition. These findings suggested that the cellular sources of the PGs in the periapical lesions are mainly macrophages and fibroblasts, and that the PGs produced by these cells, and possibly osteoblast and osteocytes, may contribute to the osteolytic resorption of periapical lesions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010010 Osteoclasts A large multinuclear cell associated with the BONE RESORPTION. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in CEMENTUM resorption. Odontoclasts,Cementoclast,Cementoclasts,Odontoclast,Osteoclast
D010011 Osteocytes Mature osteoblasts that have become embedded in the BONE MATRIX. They occupy a small cavity, called lacuna, in the matrix and are connected to adjacent osteocytes via protoplasmic projections called canaliculi. Osteocyte
D010482 Periapical Abscess Acute or chronic inflammation of tissues surrounding the apical portion of a tooth, associated with the collection of pus, resulting from infection following pulp infection through a carious lesion or as a result of an injury causing pulp necrosis.

D003789 Dental Pulp Exposure The result of pathological changes in the hard tissue of a tooth caused by carious lesions, mechanical factors, or trauma, which render the pulp susceptible to bacterial invasion from the external environment. Exposure, Dental Pulp,Pulp Exposure, Dental
D003790 Dental Pulp Necrosis Death of pulp tissue with or without bacterial invasion. When the necrosis is due to ischemia with superimposed bacterial infection, it is referred to as pulp gangrene. When the necrosis is non-bacterial in origin, it is called pulp mummification.
