| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found that the human periodontal ligament cell line transfected with MEST gene acquired stem cell characteristics. In addition, the MEST-overexpressed cell supernatant was found to promote the migration ability of human periodontal ligament cells. Furthermore, we identified a factor X, which related to acquisition of stem cell characteristic by MEST. These results suggested that MEST was involved in the acquisition of human periodontal ligament stem cells and was a key factor for periodontal tissue regeneration therapy.

我々は、本研究で得られた知見により、MESTによって獲得した歯根膜幹細胞を用いた新たな歯周組織再生治療法の開発に繋がるのではないかと考えている。
