ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effects of amelogenin(AML)on the migration,adhesion and proliferation of periodontal liga-ment stem cells(PDLSCs).Methods:PDLSCs were cultured with AML at 0.25,50 amd 100 μg/ml respectively.The migration, adhesion and proliferation of the cells were examined by wound healing migration assay,transwell migration assay,attachment assay, MTT assay and cell counting,respectively.Results:AML induced the migration of PDLSCs in a dose-dependent manner(P <0.05), increased the adhesion and proliferation of PDLSCs(P <0.05).Conclusion:AML may promote the migration,adhesion and prolifer-ation of PDLSCs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1 )on migration, adhesion and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs)and explore the mechanisms of PDLSCs-induced periodontal remodeling.Methods PDLSCs were isolated and identified from human teeth.The effect of TGF-β1 on migration of PDLSCs was evaluated using transwell migration assay.Cells attachment assay was used to test the effect of TGF-β1 on the adhesion of PDLSCs.In addition,the effect of TGF-β1 on the proliferation of PDLSCs was evaluated by MTT and cell growth rate assay.Results The results showed that TGF-β1 induced the migration of PDLSCs in a dose-dependent manner,improved the adhesion and proliferation of PDLSCs.So we propose that TGF-β1 may promote periodium remodeling by inducing PDLSCs migration,following adhesion and proliferation in these areas.Conclusion This study demonstrated for the first time that TGF-β1 increases the adhesion and migration of PDLSCs in vitro .The signal pathway is involved in the TGF-β1-induced migration of PDLSCs and the mechanical-chemical interaction during the orthodontic periodontal remodeling will be researched in our further studies.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The enamel matrix derivative has been used in the clinical treatment of severe periodontitis; however, the mechanism(s) by which enamel matrix derivative promotes periodontal regeneration is stil obscure. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of enamel matrix derivatives on the differentiation and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cels. METHODS:Periodontal ligament stem cels were isolated and identified from human teeth. Cloning forming efficiency, surface antigen expression and pluripotency were detected and identified. Enamel matrix derivatives with different concentrations (20, 50, 100 mg/L) were used to culture periodontal ligament stem cels for 2 and 4 weeks. Colagen synthesis and mineralized nodule formation were detected using Trichrom staining and Von Kosa’s staining, respectively; real-time RT-PCR was employed to detect expressions of colagen type I, osteocalcin, and RUX2; MTT and cel growth rate assay were used to detect the proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Periodontal ligament stem cels were spindle-shaped and showed a higher colony forming efficiency than periodontal ligament cels. The expressions of surface antigens of periodontal ligament stem cels-CD105, CD29, CD45, CD44 were respectively 99.8%, 99.7%, 1.26%, 98.8%, indicating periodontal ligament stem cels have the multilineage differentiation potential. Enamel matrix derivatives improve the colagen synthesis and mineralization nodule formation of periodontal ligament stem cels in a time-dose dependent manner. They also can improve the expression of osteogensis-related genes colagen type I, osteocalcin, RUX2 and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cels.
