Statement of problem: Platelet-rich plasma(PRP) is well known to be very effective method to stimulate and accelerate the healing of bone and soft tissue. However, there are few reports which deal with the mechanisms of the PRP on the activation of the osteoblasts. Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of growth factors in PRP on the activity of osteoblasts. Material and method: To evaluate the effect on human, human osteoblast cell line was cultured. PRP was extracted from the blood of a healthy volunteer. Using the recombinant growth factors of PDGF, $TGFT-\beta$, IGF-1, bFGF which are mainly found at bone matrix and their neutralizing antibody, the effect of PRP on the attachment and proliferation of osteoblasts was evaluated. To evaluate the autocrine and paracrine effects, conditioned media(CM) of PRP was made and compared with PRP. By the western blot analysis, the expression of growth factors in PRP, CM was examined. Cell morphology was compared by the light microscope. Results : 1) The effects of CM on osteoblast were similar to the effects of PRP. 2) PRP, CM, recombinant $TGF-\beta$, bFGF, IGF-1 showed significantly higher cellular attachment than control(p<0.05) in the cell attachment assay. In the cell proliferation assay, PRP, CM, recombinant $TGF-\beta$, IGF-1, bFGF, PDGF increased significantly cell proliferation(p<0.01). Among the recombinant growth factors, IGF-1 showed the highest cellular attachment and proliferation. 3) In the western blot assay, bFGF, IGF-1, PDGF weve equally expressed in PRP and CM. 4) The attachment of osteoblast cell decreased significantly after the addition of neutralizing antibody against $TGF-\beta$, IGF-1(p<0.05). In the cell proliferation assay, the addition of neutralizing antibody against $TGF-\beta$, bFGF, PDGF, IGF-1 decreased significantly the cellular proliferation(p<0.05). The amount of decreasing in the cell attachment and proliferation is the highest in at-lGF-1. 5) The cells in control group were flattened and elongated with a few cellular processes in the a light microscope. But, the cells appeared as spherical, plump cells with well developed cellular processes in experimental groups. The cells in PRP and CM had more prominent developed features than recombinant growth factor groups. Conclusions : These findings imply that PRP maximize the cellular activity in early healing period using the synergistic effect, autocrine, paracrine effects of growth factors and increase the rate and degree of bone formation.

Recently diabetes has been found to be associated with metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis. In the present study, attempts have been made-to explore the effect of high glucose in bone formation. Osteoblast-like UMR 106 cells were treated with high glucose (22mM, 33mM, 44mM) for 1 or 2 days. High glucose significantly inhibited proliferation of UMR106 cells in a time- and dose- dependent manner as evidenced by MTT assay. For the evaluation of collagen synthesis, UMR 106 cells were cultured in high glucose media (44mM) for 24 h and the ratio of collagen content to total protein was measured. In addition, gene expression pattern of type I collagen was assessed by RT-PCR. The high concentration of glucose inhibited a collagen synthesis, a marker of bone formation activity. JNK, c- Jun N-terminal Kinase, is known to play an important role in stress-associated cell death. In this regard, we tested to determine whether high glucose has any effect on JNK activity. It has been found that treatment of high glucose induced phosphorylation of JNK. On the other hand, ERK phosphorylation was inhibited by high glucose in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, Therefore these results indicate that inhibition of proliferation in UMR 106 cells following high glucose is related to JNK/ERK containing signal pathways. This study showed high glucose concentration could alter the bone metabolism leading to defective bone formation, suggesting that high glucose due to diabetes may playa significant role in the development of metabolic bone disease.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the synergic effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on bisphosphonate-treated osteoblasts. Materials and Methods: Human fetal osteoblast cells (hFOB 1.19) were cultured with $100{\mu}M$ alendronate. Low-level Ga-Al-As laser alone or with 100 ng/mL rhBMP-2 was then applied. Cell viability was measured with MTT assay. The expression levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were analyzed for osteoblastic activity inducing osteoclastic activity. Collagen type and transforming growth factor beta-1 were also evaluated for bone matrix formation. Results: The results showed that rhBMP-2 and LLLT had a synergic effect on alendronate-treated osteoblasts for enhancing osteoblastic activity and bone matrix formation. Between rhBMP-2 and LLLT, rhBMP-2 exhibited a greater effect, but did not show a significant difference. Conclusion: rhBMP-2 and LLLT have synergic effects on bisphosphonate-treated osteoblasts through enhancement of osteoblastic activity and bone formation activity.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) and recombinant human bone morphological protein-2 (rhBMP-2) applied to hypoxic-cultured MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells and to determine possible signaling pathways underlying differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts under hypoxia. METHODS: MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured under 1% oxygen tension for 72 h. Cell cultures were divided into four groups: normoxia control, low-level laser (LLL) alone, rhBMP-2 combined with LLLT, and rhBMP-2 under hypoxia. Laser irradiation was applied at 0, 24, and 48 h. Cells were treated with rhBMP-2 at 50 ng/mL. Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured at 3, 7, and 14 days to evaluate osteoblastic differentiation. Cell mineralization was determined with Alizarin red S staining at 7 and 14 days. Western blot assays were performed to evaluate whether p38/protein kinase D (PKD) signaling was involved. RESULTS: The results indicate that LLLT and rhBMP-2 synergistically increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization. Western blot analyses showed that expression of type I collagen, runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and Osterix (Osx), increased and expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha ($HIF-1{\alpha}$), decreased more in the LLLT and rhBMP-2 combined group than in the rhBMP-2 or LLL alone groups. Moreover, LLLT and rhBMP-2 stimulated p38 phosphorylation and rhBMP-2 and LLLT increased Prkd1 phosphorylation. CONCLUSION: Combined treatment with rhBMP-2 and LLL induced differentiation and mineralization of hypoxic-cultured MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts by activating p38/PKD signaling in vitro.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of irradiated frozen allogenic bone(IFAB) on the cell proliferation and differentiation of human fetal osteoblasts. Human fetal osteoblasts(hFOB1) were cultured to examine the cellular proliferation for 3 days and 5 days with $1mg/m{\ell}$, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $100ng/m{\ell}$, $10ng/m{\ell}$, $1ng/m{\ell}$ of IFAB, and to compare the ALP synthesis to control groups for 3 days with DMEM/F-12 1:1 Mixture and $1mg/m{\ell}$, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $100ng/m{\ell}$, $10ng/m{\ell}$, $1ng/m{\ell}$ of IFAB. To compare the calcium accumulation, hFOBl cultured for 23 days were quantified and photographed. The cellular proliferation of hFOBls treated with IFAB was increased at 5 days to control(p<0.05). The activity of ALP in hFOBls treated with $100ng/m{\ell}$ IFAB was significantly increased at 5 days(p<0.05). A quantified calcium accumulation in hFOBl was significantly increased at $100ng/m{\ell}$, $10ng/m{\ell}$ of IFAB(p<0.05). In the present study, we found that IFAB playa important role of bone formation in the early stage. There was considered that IFAB could be used in the bone graft material.

The main goal of periodontal therapy is to restore the lost periodontal tissue and establish the attachment appratus. Current acceptable therapeutic techniques are included : removal of diseased soft tissue, demineralization of exposed root surface, using the barrier membrane for preventing the downgrowth of gingival epithelial cell, insertion of graft materials as a scaffolding action, and biological mediators for promoting the cell activity. The latest concept one among them has been studied which based on the knowledge of cellular biology of destructed tissue. Platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) is one of the polypeptide growth factor which have been reported as a biological mediator to regulate activities of wound healing progress including cell proliferation, migration, and metabolism. The purposes of this study is to evaluate the influences of the PDGF as biological mediator to periodontal ligament and bone marrow cell. Both right and left maxillary first molar were extracted from rat which had treated with 0.4% ${\beta}-Aminopropionitril$ for 5 days, and feeded until designed date to sacrifice under anesthesisa. Periodontal ligament were removed from the extracted socket of the rat, and cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Essential Medium(DMEM) contained with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 100U/ml penicillin, $100{\mu}g/ml$ streptomycin, $0.5{\mu}g/ml$ amphotericin-B. Bone marrow cell were culture from bone marrow suspension with which washed out from femur with same medium. The study was performed to evaluate the effect of PDGF to periodontal ligament and bone cell, cell proliferation rate, total protein synthesis, and alkaline phosphatase activity of rat periodontal ligament(PDL) cell and bone stromal(RBS) cell in vitro. The effects of growth factors on both cells were measured at 3, 5th day after cell culture with (control group) or without growth factors(experimental group). The results were as follows: 1. The tendency of cell proliferation under the influence of PDGF showed more rapid proliferation pattern than control at 3 and 5 days after inoculation. 2. The activity of Alkaline phosphatase revealed 14, 80% increased respectively at 3, 5 days culture than control group. Measurements of ALPase levels indicated that PDL cells had significantly higher activity when compared with that of co-culture groups and GF only(P<0.05). And, ALPase activity in 10 days was higher than that of 7 days(P<0.05). 3. The tendency of formation of the mineralized nodule were observed dose-depend pattern of PDL cells. There was statistically significant difference among group l(PDL 100%), 2(PDL 70%:GF 30%), and 3(PDL 50%:GF 50%)(P<0.01). But, there was no difference among group 3, 4(PDL 30%:GF 70%), and 5(GF 100%). 4. Also, the number of nodule was greater in co-culture of PDL 70% and GF 30% than in culture of PDL 70%(P<0.05). From the above results, it is assumed that the PDGF on PDL cells and RMB cell culture. GF stimulates the cell growth, which is not that of PDL cells but GF. And, the activity of ALPase depends on the ratio of PDL cells, and ALPase may relate to the initial phase of nodule formation. Also, it is thought that the calcified nodule formation principally depends on PDL cells, is inhibited by GF, and affected by cell density. In conclusion, platelet-derived growth factor can promote rapid osteogenesis during early stage of periodontal tissue regeneration.

Background: Coptis chinensis rhizome has been used as a medicinal herb in traditional Oriental medicine. We investigated the effects of Coptis chinensis extract on inflammatory mediators and delayed type hypersensitivity in mice. Methods: The inhibitory effect of ethanolic extract of Coptis chinensis (CCE) on cell proliferation was evaluated using MTS assay. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and the Con A-activated mouse splenocytes were cultured with various concentrations of CCE. Total nitric oxide (NO) production was determined by Griess reaction. The amounts of secreted prostaglandine E2 ($PGE_2$), interleukin (IL)-2 and IFN-${\gamma}$ were measured by ELISA. To investigate the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of CCE, oxazolone-induced delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model was used. Results: The CCE at $100{\mu}g/ml$ significantly blocked the LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory mediators (NO and PGE) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Also, it significantly inhibited cell proliferation and cytokine (IL-2 and IFN-${\gamma}$) production in splenocytes. Furthermore, when splenocytes from CCE fed mice (200 mg/kg for 2 weeks) were activated with Con A, cell proliferation and cytokine production were significantly inhibited. In addition, CCE decreased in vivo inflammation in oxazolone-induced DTH model mice. Conclusion: We suggest that Coptis chinensis can be used as an anti-inflammatory drug by exerting an inhibitory effect in inflammatory mediator- and cell-mediated inflammation.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 is one of the most effective growth factors to increase the growth rate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Previously, we reported that low dose of FGF-2 (1 ng/ml) induced proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through AKT and ERK activation resulting in reduction of autophagy and senescence, but not at a high dose. In this study, we investigated the effects of high dose FGF-2 (10 ng/ml) on proliferation, autophagy and senescence of BMSCs for long term cultures (i.e., 2 months). FGF-2 increased the growth rate of BMSCs in a dose dependent manner for a short term (3 days), while during long term cultures (2 months), population doubling time was increased and accumulated cell number was lower than control in BMSCs when cultured with 10 ng/ml of FGF-2. 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 induced immediate de-phosphorylation of ERK1/2, expression of LC3-II, and increase of senescence associated ${\beta}$-galactosidase (SA-${\beta}$-Gal, senescence marker) expression. In conclusion, we showed that 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 was inadequate for ex vivo expansion of BMSCs because 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 induced growth retardation via ERK1/2 de-phosphorylation and induction of autophagy and senescence in BMSCs.
