Abstract

To investigate the role of growth factors in the proliferation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF), we evaluated the influence of The insulin-like growth factor- I (IGF- I ) and The plate-derived growth factor (PDGF). Furthermore, we evaluated the effects of adenosine and ATP, which are abundant during bleeding, on the proliferation of HPLF.<BR>When IGF- I and PDGF were incubated for 24 and 72 hours, concentration-dependent increases were demonstrated on the HPLF proliferation. On the other hand, when adenosine and ATP were added to HPLF, significant decreases in the cellular proliferation ability were detected at a concentration of 5×10-4M. Thereafter, adenosine and ATP prevented potentiation of proliferation with IGF- I. In contrast, adenosine and ATP did not prevent potentiation of proliferation by PDGF. These results suggested increases in the proliferation of HPLF with IGF- I and PDGF, and the suppression abilities of adenosine and ATP on the proliferation of HPLF.
