ABSTRACT
The p75 neurotrophic factor receptor is a low affinity receptor for neurotrophic factors and plays an important role in nerve growth, development and function integrity. It is closely related to dental development, oral and maxillofacial tumor, nerve repair and tissue engineering. It shows good prospect for application. In this paper, the research progress of p75 neurotrophic factor receptor in Stomatology is reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of BMP9 combined with NGF on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods:Recombinant BMP9 adenovirus was transfected into C3H10T1/2 cells.The cells were treated by GFP,NGF,BMP9 and BMP9 + NGF respectively.The expression level of COL1,RUNX2 was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot,ALP activity was examined by ALP kit 3,12,24,48 hours,3 and 7 days after treatment,respectively.Results:The ALP activity of BMP9 + NGF group was the highest among the 4 groups.The difference in the groups firstly appeared at 3 h after treatment.The highest expression level of RUNX2 and COL1 was detected in BMP9 + NGF group.Conclusion:NGF and BMP9 may synergisticly promote osteogenic differentiation at the early stage of osteogenic induction of C3H10T1/2 cells.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the biological characteristic of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSC) and the differentiation of p75(+)EMSC and influencing factors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The immunohistochemical staining method was used to observe the migration of EMSC from 12.5 d SD rat embryonic facial process. Then EMSC was labeled by p75 neurotrophin receptor, and the cell cycle and stem cell surface antigens of the p75(+) EMSC was examined.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Immunohistochemical staining showed that stem cells from the cranial neural crest migrated to embryonic rat facial process at 12.5 days. The sorting rate of the p75(+)EMSC was 6.1%. The proportion of the p75(+)EMSCs' S/G2/M phase was stable during subculture. The special substances CD29, CD146 and Stro-1 were marked for p75(+)EMSC, and the expressions of the markers were all higher (> 90%) in p75(+) EMSC.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The embryonic tooth did not start to grow on the conception 12.5 days of SD rats. The p75(+) EMSC after sorting had stable proliferation ability and had stem cell characteristics during subculture and didn't start differentiation.</p>

Objective To investigate the morphology and bonding of enamel and dentin conditioned by 35% phosphoric acid and pulse Nd:YAG laser.Methods A total of 52 human premolars were selected,40 of which were divided into four groups randomly: group A [enamel treated with 35% phosphoric acid(Scotchbond,3M) for 30 s];group B [enamel treated with pulse Nd:YAG laser(Evlaser Friendly A4 Italy) for 20 s];group C(dentin treated with 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s);group D(enamel treated with pulse Nd:YAG laser for 15 s).The tensile bond strength(TBS) were determined.Except 4 out of 12 human premolars without any treatment,8 were divided into 4 groups and were treated with the method mentioned above.The surfaces of 12 human premolars were observed under SEM.Results The highest TBS was obtained in group A in comparison with the other 3 groups(P0.05).The smear layer on enamel and dentin could be removed after conditioned by both phosphoric acid and pulse Nd:YAG laser.The honeycomb structures were observed on all enamel but less regularly in lased group.Almost all the orifices of dentinal tubules were open in the acid group and sealed or half-sealed in lased group.Conclusion The pulse Nd:YAG laser did not contribute to bonding of enamel,but could improve the bonding of dentin and seal most of the orifices of dentinal tubules,which reduced the harmful stimulation to the dental pulp.
