| [Differentiation characteristics of human periodontal ligament cell population in vitro] Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi. 2010 Apr;28(2):185-9 Authors: Liu J, Zha HY, Xuan DY, Xie BY, Zhang JC OBJECTIVE: To explore the multi-differentiated capability of human periodontal ligament cell population (hPDLP), and provide a theoretical basis for the periodontal regeneration by tissue engineering technique. METHODS: hPDLP was cultured from periodontium of human tooth by the outgrowth method. STRO-1 and CD 146 expression were investigated by flow cytometry. hPDLP was induced to odontogenic/osteogenic-like and adipogenic-like cell. The multilineage differentiation capacities of hPDLP were evaluated by alizarin red stain, oil red O stain, anti-CD146 and STRO-1 immunocytochemistry, and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. RESULTS: hPDLP was isolated from human periodontium and most of the cells retained their fibroblastic spindle shape. hPDLP can be induced into osteoblast-like cells and adipocyte-like cells, and calcium deposition and lipid droplets were detected perspectively. And the eighth generation of hPDLP had weaker potential into adip! ocyte-like cells than the first passage, however, there was no difference to the aspect of calcification ability between the two passages. CONCLUSION: hPDLP cultured in vitro can differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, and the first to third passage cells may have the predominance of differentiation potential.
