| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to establish novel method to regenerate periodontal tissue by use of iPS cells. We examined the effects of new cell differentiation method and scaffold where cells attach and form tissue. When human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) were cultured on the hybrid scaffolds, HPDLCs attached and proliferated well on the scaffold, and also formed extra cellular matrix tissue. In addition, co-culture of neural crest cells differentiated from iPS cells with HPDLCs in the presence of TGF-beta upregulated the expression of periodontal ligament-related markers, suggesting iPS cell differentiation into HPDLC-like cells. Although further studies are required, the combination of iPS cells induced to differentiate into neural crest-like cells and hybrid scaffold could be alternative cell source for novel cell transplantation method to regenerate periodontal ligament tissue.
