Abstract |
In past research, we found that carbon ion irradiation increased bone volume in rats, and a significant amount of cartilage remained inside the carbon ion-irradiated trabeculae. The amounts of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) mRNA in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells tended to decrease after carbon ion irradiation. The level of MMP-13 mRNA in non-irradiated cells was stable during the experimental period, but in gamma ray-irradiated cells it tended to increase. When localization of MMP-13 in locally irradiated experimental rats was investigated, it was found in the marginal trabeculae in both non-irradiated and gamma ray-irradiated animals. MMP-13 was detected in osteoid and neogenetic bone in the trabeculae surface. The trabeculae in carbon ion-irradiated bone remained cartilaginous. Carbon ion-irradiated rats exhibited weak expression of MMP-13 around the cartilage inside the trabeculae. We conclude that carbon ion irradiation reduced expression of MMP-13, thus suppressing both chondrocyte maturation and cartilage resorption. Increases in hyperplasia of the bone trabeculae and of bone volume were caused by ongoing bone addition and calcification in the absence of sufficient cartilage resorption.
