ObjectivePlatelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is one of the most abundant growth factors in platelet derived products and has been shown to stimulate regeneration after tissue injury. There is a population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in human periodontal ligament (PDL) which can contribute to tissue regeneration under appropriate conditions.DesignPDL cells were isolated and characterized using stem cell and differentiation markers via immunofluorescence and flow cytometry and then cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of PDGF-BB. The effect of PDGF-BB on cell proliferation, stem cell and differentiation markers expression, soluble collagen production, lysyl oxidase (LOX) activity, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodules formation was assessed.ResultsPDGF-BB stimulated the proliferation of cells with the maximum effect at 50ng/mL. The growth factor increased the expression of stem cell markers and SPARC; Col1a2 expression was decreased, whereas the expression of Col3a1 remain unchanged. Soluble collagen production, ALP activity and calcium nodules formation were also significantly decreased by PDGF-BB; LOX activity was significantly increased.ConclusionsPDGF-BB is a powerful promoter of cell proliferation and increases the expression of stem cell markers; inhibites collagen production and mineraliration but accelerates the maturation of collagen chains through increased LOX activity and SPARC expression.
