| Popis: | Background and Objectives: A derivative of the enamel matrix was used to speed up periodontal regeneration, including the formation of new cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. In this study, human gingiva-derived stem cell–derived cell spheroids were used to assess the effects of an enamel matrix derivative on cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization. Materials and Methods: Human gingiva-derived stem cells were used to create spheroids, which were then coupled with unloaded control groups and an enamel matrix derivative at a final concentration of 2.7, 27, 270, and 2700 μg/mL. The morphological examination of the created stem cell spheroids took place on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The Live/Dead Kit assay was used to determine the qualitative viability of cells on days 3 and 7. Using the Cell Counting Kit-8, the quantitative vitality of the cell spheroids was assessed on days 1, 3, and 5. On days 7 and 14, alkaline phosphatase activity assays and Alizarin Red S staining were carried out to examine the osteogenic differentiation of the cell spheroids. RUNX2 and COL1A1 expression levels on days 7 and 14 were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The added enamel matrix derivative at the tested concentrations did not significantly alter the morphology of the applied stem cells’ well-formed spheroids on day 1. On days 3 and 7, the majority of the spheroids’ cells fluoresced green while they were being cultivated. Alkaline phosphatase activity data revealed a substantial rise in the 2700 μg/mL group on day 7 when compared to the unloaded control (p < 0.05). On days 7 and 14, calcium deposits were distinctly seen in each group. In the 27 and 2700 μg/mL groups, the treatment with the enamel matrix derivative resulted in noticeably higher values for the Alizarin Red S staining (p < 0.05). qPCR results showed that adding an enamel matrix derivative to the culture of the 27 μg/mL group raised the level of RUNX2 mRNA expression. Conclusions: These results lead us to the conclusion that a derivative of the enamel matrix may be used to promote osteogenic differentiation in stem cell spheroids. |
