The communication between ephrin/Eph families was recently shown to be involved in cell differentiation under mechanical stress. To understand the roles of EphrinB2 and EphB4 in osteoblast cells and alveolar bone under initial mechanical stress of dental implant replacement, first, MC3T3-E1 cells were subjected to cyclical compressive or extensive force in vitro . The expressions of EphrinB2 and EphB4 were examined by real-time RT-PCR or western blotting, together with expression of Osterix as an osteoblast differentiation marker. Next, the effects of mini-implant surfaces immobilised with EphrinB2 or EphB4 on the expression of the gene encoding Osterix in alveolar bone surrounding implants were examined by real-time RT-PCR. Osterix mRNA expression was decreased in MC3T3-E1 cells cultured under compressive conditions, compared with that under normal conditions. The mRNA and protein levels of EphrinB2 and EphB4 were increased in the cells cultured under compressive conditions. Initially, mechanical stress by torques decreased Osterix mRNA expression in alveolar bone surrounding mini-implants, compared with the control groups. Torque of 10 Nmm increased EphB4 mRNA expression compared with the control groups, while torques of 10 and 20 Nmm increased EphrinB2 mRNA expression. The mini-implant surface immobilised with EphrinB2-Fc recovered the suppression of Osterix. Taken together, the present results suggest that increased binding of EphrinB2 and EphB4 in osteoblast cells exposed to initial mechanical force, especially compressive force, may be involved in alveolar bone recovery, and may cause a gradual decrease of the primary fixation in a replaced dental implant and finally lead to stability.
