Research Abstract |
We have previously reported that heparanase may contribute to root formation, especially cementoblast differentiation, by degrading perlecan in the dental basement membrane. The aim of this study was to determine whether heparanase might function in periodontal development and regeneration. Our studies indicated that 1) Heparanase localization was observed in osteoblasts and in the basal cells of the oral epithelium. 2) Palatal epithelial cells were labeled with intense heparanase signal during palatogenesis ; in contrast, perlecan labeling was sparse in the basement membrane of medial epithelial seam. 3) Exogenous heparanase might exhibit proliferative potential to dental mesenchymal stem cells in the apical space. These findings suggested that heparanase may have an important role during the process of formation and regeneration of periodontal tissues.
