Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Periodontal supporting tissues destroy and attachment losses are the main reasons for tooth loss. Cytokine can promote periodontal tissue regeneration.
OBJECTIVE: To research the effect of platelet-derived growth factor-β (PDGF-β) in the human periodontal ligament cells proliferation.
METHODS: Human fibroblasts were cultured with tissue block method in vitro. The passaged cells were identified by Bosi protein, keratin immunohistochemistry for qualitative analysis. PDGF-β was added to induce periodontal ligament cells proliferation, and the absorbance value was measured by MTT method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cell proliferation was accelerated after adding 10 μg/L PDGF-β factor, the absorbance value of the experimental group was greater than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The findings demonstrated that PDGF-β can promote the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells.
