Current acceptable methods for promoting periodontal regeneration are based on removal of diseased soft tissue, root treatment, guided tissue regeneration, introduction of new graft materials and biological mediators. Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I) and Platelet-derived growth factor-BB(PDGF-BB), the members of the polypeptuyde growth factor family have been reported as the biological mediators which regulate a variety cellular matrix biologic activities of wound healing process including the cell proliferation, migration and extracellular matrix synthesis.
The purposes of this study is to evaluate the combination effects of IGF-I and PDGF-BB on the cellular activity of the periodontal ligament cells to act as a regeneration promoting agent of periodontal tissue.
Human periodontal ligament cells were prepared from the first permolar tooth extracted for the orthodontic treatment and were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS at the 37。C, 5% CO2 incubator. Author measured the DNA synthetic activity, and total protein, collagen and noncollagenous protein synthetic activities according to the concentration of 10, 100ng/ml IGF-I and 1, 10 ng/ml PDGF-BB in combination.
The results were as follows:
significantly increased in the 1 ng/ml PDGF-BB alone compared to the 10 ng/ml PDGF-BB alone(P<0.01)and in the 1 ng/ml PDGF-BB AND 10, 100NG/ML IGF-I in combination compared to the 1ng/ml PDGF-BB alone (P<0.05,P<0.01). The synthetic activity of the noncollagenous protein is increased according to the concentration of IGF_I, but not statistically significant(P>0.05). The percent of collagen is significantly in the 1ng/ml PDGF-BB and 10ng/ml IGF-I in combination compared to the 1ng/ml PDGF-BB alone(P0.05) and in the 10ng/ml IGF-I in combination compared to the 10ng/ml PDGF-BB alone(P<0.05).
The synthetic activity of the DNA is in conclusions, the percent study shows that PDGF-BB and IGF-I in combination have a potentiality to enhance the DNA synthesis and the total protein and collagen synthesis of the periodontal ligament cells, especially it is more significant in the low concentration PDGF-BB compared to the high one. Thus, the PDGF-BB and IGF-I in combination may have important roles in promotion of periodontal ligament healing, and consequently, may useful for clinical application in periodontal regenerative procedures.
