AbstractObjective To evaluate the influence of the frequency of mechanical traction on gene expression and angiogenesis using a rabbit model of mandibular lengthening. Methods 80 adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to the continuous distraction group and intermittent distraction group. A standardized surgical procedure used in our previous study was performed on all the rabbits. Unilaterally straight osteotomy was performed immediately anterior to the first premolar root. The custom-designed manual-driven or auto-driven distractor was adapted on the mandible along a plane perpendicular to the osteotomy and fixed by 2-mm diameter titanium screws. After a 3-day latency period, the distraction was activated. For the intermittent distraction group, distraction was performed once per day; in the continuous distraction group, distraction was achieved at a high frequency of 691,200 steps per day. 10 rabbits in each group were sacrificed at day 3, day 7, day 11 (end of active distraction) and day 18 (week 1 of consolidation) respectively. Bone healing were assessed by histological examination; angiogenesis was evaluated by the immunohischemical staining of collagen IV; mRNA expression of vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), bone morphogenetic growth factor (BMP-2), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 were examined by real time PCR. Results All rabbits completed the experimental process uneventfully. Real time PCR examination demonstrated a significant upregulation of all the angiogenic and bone healing related growth factors in the continuous distraction group. Neo-vessel density in distraction regenerate was significantly increased by the high frequency traction. Conclusion High frequency mechanical traction creates a superior biological environment for bone regeneration by upregulating angiogenesis and bone healing related gene expression.
