Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human periodontal ligament stem cells are a kind of mesenchymal stem cells that have self-renewal and multidifferentiation potential. Previous studies have showed that human periodontal ligament stem cells can differentiate into osteoblast-like cells or adipocyte-like cells under appropriate induction. Yet few  studies have focused on the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor which will affect the osteogenic potential of Human periodontal ligament stem cells.

 
OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor between human periodontal ligament stem cells and human periodontal ligament cells and to discuss the role of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in osteogenic differentiation.
METHODS: By using magnetic-bead cell sorting, we separated and identified the human periodontal ligament stem cells and human periodontal ligament cells. We examined and compared the mRNA expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cells and human periodontal ligament cells by Real-Time PCR. Osteoblastic differentiation was examined through in vitro matrix mineralization by alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Positive immunomagetic sorted cells were positive for STRO-1, CD146, Vimentin, indicating that they were periodontal ligament stem cells. Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was expressed in human periodontal ligament stem cells and mainly located in cell membrane and cytoplasm which were similar to human periodontal ligament cells and MG63 cells. The expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cells was 3.7 times higher than that in human periodontal ligament cells, which was similar to that in MG63 cells. After osteogenic induction, human periodontal ligament stem cells showed a higher expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor and osteoblast-related genes as well as the activity of osteoblast alkaline phosphatase and mineralization compared to human periodontal ligament cells. Our data showed that parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was higher in human periodontal ligament stem cells than human periodontal ligament cells and the expression was related with osteogenic differentiation, suggesting that human periodontal ligament stem cells display a higher potency of osteogenic differentiation and act as seed cells with a vast application prospect in oral tissue engineering.
