Research Abstract |
We previously demonstrated that periodontal ligament derived stem cells have the potential to construct blood vessel structures. At that time, we have established two types of cells in a same origin, one has high angiogenic capacity and the other has low. And this time, we compared the comprehensive genomic expression profiles between the two types of cells. As a results, we have been able to select several candidate genes that have the possibility to regulate angiogenic activity. In addition, by further investigation about angiogenic phenotype using the cell type of possessing high angiogenic ability, we found the possibility that these cells have the ability to differentiate not only into blood vessel composed cells but also into eosinophilic blood cell-like cells simultaneously.
