Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Both of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) can promote the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells, but there is no report on their combination application.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biological effect of LIPUS combined with BMP-2 on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells.
METHODS: Human periodontal ligament cells were isolated, cultured, passaged and identified. Passage 4 cells were seeded onto 6-well plates and divided into four groups: control group, LIPUS group, BMP-2 group, LIPUS+BMP-2 group. Alkaline phosphatase activity was detected by alkaline phosphatase activity measurement kit, and the expression of type I collagen and osteopontin was detected by RT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After LIPUS, BMP-2, and their combination treatment, the activity of alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the activity of alkaline phosphatase was highest in the LIPUS+BMP-2 group (P < 0.05). RT-PCR results showed that both of LIPUS and BMP-2 could augment the mRNA expression of type I collagen and osteopontin (P < 0.01), but it was more distinct when they were used together (P < 0.001). In a conclusion, the combined utilization of LIPUS and BMP-2 shows stronger ability in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells.
