Effects Of Minocycline And $TGF-{\beta}1$ On Human Gingival Fibroblasts And Periodontal Ligament Cells In Vitro

Minocycline 및 $TGF-{\beta}1$이 배양 인체 치은섬유모세포와 치주인대세포에 미치는 영향

One of the initial events required for periodontal regeneration is the attachment, spreading and proliferation of fibroblasts at the healing sites. These have been reported that minocycline stimulates the attachment of gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells and $TGF-{\beta}1$ enhances the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and confirm the effect of minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ on human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells. That gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells used in this study were obtained from the explants of healthy periodontal ligaments and gingival tissues of extracted 3rd molars or premolar teeth extracted from the patients with orthodontic treatment. The cells were cultured in ${\alpha}-MEM$(minimal essential medium) supplemented with antibiotics and FBS(fetal bovine serum) at $37^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide-95% air. Cells were used between the 5th to 8th passage in this study. The attachment and activity of both cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The results were as follows: 1. Maximum gingival fibroblast attachment was seen at a $50{\mu}g/ml$ dose of minocycline, while maximum periodontal ligament cell attachment was seen at a $100{\mu}g/ml$, and exposure of both cells to minocycline above maximal attachment dose results in a decline from maximum attachment. 2. The activity values of both cells tested minocycline were below to the control activity values at all concentrations. 3. The attachment values of both cells tested $TGF-{\beta}1$ were below or similar to control attachment values. On the above the findings, minocycline stimulated the cell attachment of gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells and $TGF-{\beta}1$ enhances the cell activity of periodontal ligament cells.
