ABSTRACT
The effects of recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 on dental pulp cells were investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy after their implantation for 1 and 3 weeks at central sites of mechanically exposed pulps in dog molar and canine teeth. The implants were Millipore filters that have been soaked with solutions containing 100 or 500 ng/ml of bFGF or IGF-II or 100 ng/ml of TGF-beta 1. Control filters were soaked with dog albumin. No changes in cell organization or matrix synthesis were seen after implantation of control filters. Groups of columnar, polarized cells with numerous mitochondria and Golgi elements or elongated cells unassociated with any matrix deposition were demonstrated after 1 or 3 weeks, respectively, in close proximity to the filters that had been soaked with bFGF solution; at a distance from these implants enhanced formation of an osteotypic matrix was seen beneath the exposure site. No particular response was found in close proximity to the filters that had been soaked with IGF-II solution after 1 or 3 weeks implantation but thick zones of osteodentine were found beneath the exposure site and at adjacent circumferential dentine sites. Numerous elongated, polarized cells with long cytoplasmic extensions invading the filter pores were consistently seen after 1 week in close proximity to the filters that had been soaked with TGF-beta 1 solution. After 3 weeks implantation of these filters, deposition of a tubular matrix surrounding the implants was seen in association with the highly elongated odontoblast-like cells, while enhancement of circumferential dentine formation was also found at adjacent peripheral sites. These experiments demonstrate that TGF-beta 1 when implanted for short term periods at central pulp sites exerted dentine-specific effects, inducing differentiation of odontoblast-like cells and stimulating primary odontoblasts. Implantation of bFGF and IGF-II did not result in reparative dentine formation, but did stimulate osteotypical matrix deposition at a distance from the implants.
