Abstract
We determined the effects of soluble or coated nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste (nano-HA) and enamel matrix derivative (EMD) on proliferation, adhesion, and migration of periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLs). Cultured PDLs were stimulated with nano-HA paste or EMD in a soluble form or were coated to the surface of cell culture dishes. Proliferation of PDLs on coated nano-HA and EMD was quantified by various methods including bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and Western blot. Cell migration was investigated in a modified Boyden chamber. The surface integrin profile of PDLs was determined using an integrin-specific ELISA, and integrin-specific signaling was measured by immunoblotting of phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Coated nano-HA stimulated PDL proliferation to a larger extent as compared with coated EMD. PDL migration towards a nano-HA or EMD gradient was more efficiently mediated by soluble EMD as compared with nano-HA but vice versa, adhesion of PDLs to compound-coated dishes was more effectively mediated by nano-HA as compared with EMD. Mechanistically, majorly integrin α5β1-mediated adhesion of PDL and both coated compounds mediated a significant increase in FAK activation though to a different extent. Current findings offer two different modes of action for EMD and nano-HA paste. EMD efficiently acts as a chemoattractant in its soluble form, while nano-HA paste effectively serves as a synthetic extracellular matrix component in its coated form. Our findings suggest that EMD and nano-HA paste display different molecular characteristics and apply alternative routes to mediate their beneficial effects on periodontal tissues.Keywords
