Abstract
BACKGROUND
: Studies on high glucose exposure in human periodontal ligament cells usually focus on the biological behaviors, pathways and secretory factors, but whether the metabolic memory is involved is little known.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the metabolic memory of high glucose exposure in human periodontal ligament cells. 
METHODS: Human periodontal ligament cells were primarily cultured and identified. Cells at 5-8 passages were selected and randomized into four groups. Group A (controls): DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 8 days; group B (5-day memory group): DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 3 days and DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 5 days; group C (3-day memory group): DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 5 days and DMEM containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose for 3 days; group D (8-day high glucose group): DMEM containing 35 mmol/L glucose for 8 days. The cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8, the cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry, and the levels of total proteins and alkaline phosphatase were investigated using ELISA.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation in the other three groups was significantly reduced (P < 0.05), the number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased, while the levels of total proteins and alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). These results suggest that high glucose causes persistent changes in human periodontal ligament cells by inhibiting cell viability, increasing the apoptosis and downregulating the levels of the total proteins and alkaline phosphatase
