| Research Abstract |
The effects of 5 kinds of growth factors (PDGF, b-FGF, INS, EGF and TGF) on the functions of Perio Dontal Ligament (PDL) cells were widely examined. The DNA synthetic activity was increased 2-3 fold by each growth factor. Furthermore, DNA synthetic activity was significantly enhanced by the combination of FGF and INS, FGF and TGF, EGF and INS, and FGF and TGF as compared with single administration of each growth factor.
Collagen synthetic activity was significantly enhanced by INS and TGF, while it was inhibited by EGF. TGF is the only growth factor that enhanced Alkaline phosphatase activity among these five growth factors.
These results suggests that TGF may strongly enhances functions of PDL cells.
