Effects Of Nicotine And PDGF On The Cell Activity Of Human Gingival Fibroblasts And Periodontal Ligament Cells.

니코틴과 PDGF-AB가 배양인체 치은섬유모세포 및 치주인대세포의 활성에 미치는 영향

The ability of fibroblasts attached to teeth is paramount important in reestablishing the lost connective tissue attachment after periodontal therapy. The migration and proliferation of periodontal ligament cells are desired goal of periodontal regeneration therapy. PDGF is well known to regulate the cell activity of mesenchymal origin cell. Tobacco contains a complex mixture of substance including nicotine, various nitrosamines, trace elements, and variety of poorly characterized substances. Human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells were cultured from extracted tooth for non-periodontal reason. Cultured human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells in vitro were treated with PDGF, nicotine in time dependent manner. Cellular activities were determined by MTT assay. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Nicotine and PDGF, respectively and the effect of PDGF presence of nicotine on human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells. The results were as follows : 1. In the cell activities of human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells were similar or decreased to control value at 1st day. At 2nd day, cellular activities of both group were increased to control value. At 3rd day, cellular activities of both group were returned to the control value. 2. In the cell activities of PDGF on human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells, cell activities significantly increase from control group on periodontal ligament cells compared to gingival fibroblast group at 3rd day. 3. In the cell activities of PDGF and nicotine combined application on human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells, it seems likely that the nicotinic effect of gingival fibroblasts were higher than periodontal ligament cells and the PDGF effect of periodontal ligament cells were higher than gingival fibroblasts. This results suggested that PDGF might stimulate the selective growth on periodontal ligament cells.
