Research Abstract |
In order to determine specific gene expression on periodontal ligament cells, we analyzed the change of gene expression after stimulation against the cloned cells that were derived from single-cell. We only prepared limited amount of human periodontal ligament cells which were derived from single-cell by using popular media. Then we had to add several growth factors,into media to maintain long term-culture. We analyzed the effects of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) on proliferation and replicative capacity in human periodontal cells. Addition of FGF-2 on logarithmically growing cell enhanced proliferation of cell number by 10 to 15 %. FGF-2 also enhanced colony forming capacities on cultured cells in the limited dilution methods. These effects did not change between young and old cells, and suggested same throughout the life-span of cultured cells. We analyzed the effect on FGF-2 to replicative capacity in continuous long-term cell culture. Addition of FGF-2 enhanced proliferation in early stage of life-span, however, it caused inhibition of proliferation at late stage of life span. Totally, addition of FGF-2 caused decreased replicative capacity. We also determined gene expression levels of p53 and p16 into the cultured cells at different stage of life-span by semi-quantified RT-PCR method, and identified no significant differences into the cells. These results suggest that FGF-2, which was known a potent mitogen for several kind of cells, has reverse effect during long-term culture.
