While treated dentin matrix (TDM) has been used for regeneration of dental tissues, the quality and quantity of regenerated periodontal tissue structure are suboptimal. The present study was undertaken to test whether the combined use of the TDM with dental follicle cells (DFCs) and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells enhances the regeneration of periodontal structures in a nondental microenvironment. TDMs were fabricated from 3-month-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. DFCs and HERS cells were isolated from postnatal 7-day SD rats. Purified DFCs and HERS cells, both in combination or alone, were seeded and cultured on TDM and characterized. The cell-seeded TDMs were subsequently implanted into a 3-month-old rat greater omentum for 6 weeks, and further histological evaluation was performed. The results showed that cells grew well on the surface of TDMs, and mineralized nodules could be seen, especially in the HERS + DFCs group. After transplantation in rat omentum, periodontal ligament-like fibers and cementum-like structures were observed around the TDM in 1/3 of the samples in both the HERS group and the DFCs group and in 2/3 of the samples in the HERS + DFCs group, while almost no attached tissue formation was found in the TDM only group. The formed cementum width and the periodontal ligament length were significantly larger in the HERS + DFCs group. The periodontal ligament-like fibers in the HERS + DFCs group were orderly arranged and attached to the cementum-like tissues, which resembled the cementum-periodontal structure. Therefore, the combined use of DFCs, TDM, and HERS cells may be a promising strategy for the regeneration of the periodontal structures, especially in the nondental microenvironment.
虽然处理过的牙本质基质(TDM)已用于牙组织再生,但再生牙周组织结构的质量和数量并不理想。本研究旨在测试TDM与牙囊细胞(DFCs)和赫特维希上皮根鞘(HERS)细胞联合使用是否能在非牙微环境中增强牙周结构的再生。TDM由3个月大的Sprague-Dawley(SD)大鼠制备。DFCs和HERS细胞从出生后7天的SD大鼠中分离出来。将纯化的DFCs和HERS细胞单独或联合接种并培养在TDM上并进行表征。随后将接种细胞的TDM植入3个月大的大鼠大网膜中6周,并进行进一步的组织学评估。结果表明,细胞在TDM表面生长良好,可见矿化结节,尤其是在HERS + DFCs组中。在大鼠网膜中移植后,HERS组和DFCs组中1/3的样本在TDM周围观察到牙周膜样纤维和牙骨质样结构,而HERS + DFCs组中2/3的样本观察到牙周膜样纤维和牙骨质样结构,而仅TDM组几乎未发现附着组织形成。HERS + DFCs组中形成的牙骨质宽度和牙周膜长度明显更大。HERS + DFCs组中的牙周膜样纤维排列有序,并附着于牙骨质样组织,类似于牙骨质-牙周结构。因此,DFCs、TDM和HERS细胞联合使用可能是牙周结构再生的一种有前景的策略,尤其是在非牙微环境中。
