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 still obscure.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of enamel matrix derivatives on the differentiation and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cells.
METHODS: Periodontal ligament stem cells 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 cells for 2 and 4 weeks. Collagen 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 collagen type I, osteocalcin, and RUX2; MTT and cell growth rate assay were used to detect the proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Periodontal ligament stem cells were spindle-shaped and showed a higher 
colony forming efficiency than periodontal ligament cells. The expressions of surface antigens of periodontal ligament stem cells-CD105, CD29, CD45, CD44 were respectively 99.8%, 99.7%, 1.26%, 98.8%, indicating periodontal ligament stem cells have the multilineage differentiation potential. Enamel matrix derivatives improve the collagen synthesis and mineralization nodule formation of periodontal ligament stem cells in a time-dose dependent manner. They also can improve the expression of osteogensis-related genes collagen type I, osteocalcin, RUX2 and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cells.
