Effect of Tensile Frequency on the Osteogenic Differentiation of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The role of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in mediating osteogenesis involved in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is well established. However, various relevant in vitro studies vary in the frequency of tension. The effect of tensile frequency on the mechanotransduction of PDLSCs is not clear. The current study aimed to determine the effect of different tensile frequencies on the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs and to identify important mechano-sensitivity genes.

Methods

Human PDLSCs were isolated, identified, and subjected to cyclic equibiaxial tensile strain of 12% at different frequencies of 0.1 Hz, 0.5 Hz, 0.7 Hz, or static cultures. Osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was assessed by using Western blotting. High-throughput sequencing was used to
