Research Abstract |
It is demonstrated that human full-length amelogenin enhances the proliferation of human cementoblasts lineage cells by an interaction with CD63 through MAPK-ERK signaling pathway. In addition, amelogenin up-regulated the expressions of bone specific marker and mineralization activity in the osteogenic differentiation of human cementoblasts. In vivo studies,it is demonstrated that application of amelogenin surely suppresses root resorption. It is thus confirmed that amelogenin may contributeto the regeneration of cementum in terms of the enhancement of human cementoblast lineage cells proliferation and differentiation, indicating an application of amelogenin to regeneration of periodontal tissue.
