Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor-1 can promote mitosis of fibroblasts as well as periodontal cell growth, differentiation and synthesis of extracellular matrix.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of chitosan/collagen composite scaffold carrying insulin-like growth factor-1 on proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells.
METHODS: The human periodontal ligament cells were seeded on chitosan/collagen composite scaffold carrying insulin-like growth factor-1 and ordinary collagen scaffold. The release of recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1 was detected at 1, 24 hours and 1 week after culture; cell adhesion and proliferation were detected at days 1, 7 and 28.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The release rate of recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1 in the composite scaffold was significantly lower than that in the ordinary collagen scaffold at 1, 24 hours and 1 week after cell seeding (P < 0.01). The cell adhesion and proliferation showed no difference between two groups at day 1 after cell seeding, but became significantly higher in the composite scaffold than that in the ordinary collagen scaffold at days 7 and 28 (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that chitosan/collagen composite scaffold carrying insulin-like growth factor-1 can significantly promote the proliferation of the human periodontal ligament cells.
