Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effects of insulin on the DNA synthesis and cell cycle distribution of human periodontal ligament cells (PDLs). Methods:PDLs were treated with insulin at the doses (U/L) of 0.01～1 000 for 72 h,DNA synthesis of the cells was measured by 3H-TdR incorporation and cell cycle distribution was studied by flow cytometer. Results : Insulin at 1 U/L to 1 000 U/L showed a significant concentration dependent stimulation of 3H thymidine uptake, and the effect of insulin at 100 ～ 1 000 U/L were not statistically different from that at 10 U/L. The percentage of PDL cells in G1 phase during exponential growth was decreased by insulin, while that in S phase and (G2+M) was increased in experimental group. Conclusion: Insulin increases DNA synthesis of PDL cells ,and stimulates the transformation of cells from G1 to S phase.
