Research Abstract |
We identified Wnt among 216 genes which were up-regulated in stretch loaded human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, and we hypothesized that Wnt could regenerate PDL. Exogenous Wnt5a induced PDL differentiation related genes expression and stimulated migration of PDL cells. Furthermore, we clarified that Wnts bind to Nidogen-1, which is an extracellular matrix protein, using Far-western analysis and Mass analysis. Phase separation assay showed that Wnts binding Nidogen-1 wereseparated into hydorophilic phase. In addition, Nidogen-1 induced Wnt3a dependent intracellular signaling.
