Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is novel research field in repairing periodontal tissue defects by human gingival fibroblasts combined with cytokines.

 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 combined with dexamethasone on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human gingival fibroblasts.
METHODS: Human gingival fibroblasts at passage 3 were divided into five groups: DMEM, basal osteogenic medium, basal osteogenic medium and dexamethasone, basal osteogenic medium and bone morphogenetic protein-2, basal osteogenic medium, dexamethasone and bone morphogenetic protein-2 groups. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT. Osteogenic differentiation was examined by alkaline phosphatase activity, alizarin red staining and reverse transcription PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human gingival fibroblasts had the potency of osteogenic differentiation. Dexamethasone and bone morphogenetic protein-2 had no significant influence on the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts. Alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition were promoted by dexamethasone or bone morphogenetic protein-2, especially by both together. Combination of dexamethasone and bone morphogenetic protein-2 can promote the expression of osteogenic related-genes, which enhances the osteogenic differentiation of human gingival fibroblasts effectively.
