RESUMO
Objective@#To study the effects of platelet-rich fibrin extract (PRFe) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) released from PRFe on the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and to provide an experimental basis for its application in promoting gingival soft tissue increment.@*Methods@#Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was transformed into PRFe by tissue culture. The three-dimensional structure of PRF was observed by electron microscopy, and the content of PDGF in PRF was quantitatively determined by ELISA. The ratios of PRFe examined were 2.5% PRFe, 5% PRFe, 7.5% PRFe, 10% PRFe, 12.5% PRFe and 15% PRFe. Gingival fibrosis was detected by the CCK-8 method. After determining the optimal concentration of PRFe, flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of PRFe on the proliferation cycle of human gingival fibroblasts, and the effect of PDGF on the proliferative activity of gingival fibroblasts was observed by neutralizing the release of PDGF.@*Results @# PRF is a three-dimensional reticular structure that contains a large number of growth factors. PDGF release peaked on the 7th day. The proliferative activity of HGFs cultured with different concentrations of PRFe was concentration-dependent, but the effect was optimal at 5% PRFe (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the effect of subsequent concentration increases on the proliferation of HGFs (P > 0.05). The flow cytometry results showed that 5% PRFe could significantly stimulate the S-phase division and proliferation of gingival fibroblasts, while the PDGF neutralization test showed that the proliferation of gingival fibroblasts was significantly inhibited by the neutralization of PDGF.@*Conclusion@#Overall 5% PRFe had the best effect on promoting gingival fibroblast proliferation in vitro. PDGF released from PRF plays an important role in promoting the proliferation of gingival fibroblasts.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin extract (PRFe) on the osteogenetic differentiation and mineralization of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro.Methods:hPDLCs were cultured and identified.PRFe was obtained by Choukroun's protocols.The cells were treated as the 4 groups:① the blank control group,②TNF-α(10 ng/ml),③ PRFe and ④PRFe + TNF-α(10 ng/ml) respectively.Alkaline phosphatase activity was detected by the ALP kit.The alizarin red dye was used to observe the mineralization of the cells.Runx2 and Osterix expression was quantified by Western blotting.Results:The ALP activity,mineralization level and the expression of Runx2 and Osterin of the TNF-oα group were lower that those of the control group(P ＜ 0.05).The examined indexs of PRFe group were higher than that of the control group(P ＜0.05).The indexs of the PRFe +TNF-α group were higher than that of TNF-α group(P ＜0.05).The indexs of PRFe group were higher than that of PRFe + TNF-α group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:PRFe may promote the osteogenetic differentiation of hPDLCs stimulated by TNF-α in vitro.
