AbstractObjectives: To identify the temporal pattern of core-binding factor a1 (Cbfa1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions in the spheno-occipital synchondrosis in vitro with and without tensile stress. Materials and Methods: Sixty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into an experimental group (with tensile stress) and a control group (without tensile stress) at each of five time points. Animals were sacrificed and the cranial base synchondroses were aseptically removed. In the experimental groups, mechanical stress was applied on the surgical explants with helical springs and incubated as organ culture for 6, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours. In the control group, the springs were kept at zero stress. Tissue sections were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for quantitative analysis of Cbfa1 and VEGF expression. Results: Quantitative analysis revealed that Cbfa1 and VEGF expressions reached a peak increase at 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Compared with the control groups, both Cbfa1 and VEGF were expressed consistently higher in the experimental groups at all time points. Conclusion: Mechanical stress applied to the spheno-occipital synchondrosis elicits Cbfa1 expression and subsequently up-regulates the expression of VEGF. Increased levels of expression of both factors could play a role in the growth of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis. © 2007 by The EH Angle Education and Research Foundation, Inc.
