Objective:
Investigate osteogenic differentiation of canine periodontal ligament stem cells ( cPDLSCs) via over-expression ephrinB2 in cPDLSCs.
Methods :
cPDLSCs were isolated from the premolars and molars of Beagle.After transfected with EfnB2-GFP-Bsd and GFP-Bsd empty Vector,cPDLSCs were induced to osteogenic differentiation.Western blot was used to invest the expression of ephrinB2 protein.The effect of osteogenic differentiation of EfnB2-cPDLSCs and Vector-cPDLSCs were analyzed by RT-PCR , CCK-8,Alizarin-red S staining and ALP.
Results:
There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between EfnB2-cPDLSCs and Vector-cPDLSCs.While EfnB2-cPDLSCs displayed an enhanced ALP activity and more prominent mineralized nodules compared with Vector-cPDLSCs.The odonto-/ osteogenic genes in EfnB2-cPDLSCs were also highly enhanced.
Conclusion
The results of our study indicated that ephrinB2 gene-transfected cPDLSCs showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation.
