Abstract

Cells derived from the periodontal ligament (PDL) have previously been reported to have stem cell-like characteristics (PDL stem cells; PDLSCs) and play an important part in bone engineering, including that of alveolar bone. However, these populations have been heterogeneous, and thus far no specific marker has yet been established from adult human stem cells derived from PDL tissue. We have previously isolated highly purified single cell-derived PDLSC clones and delineated their phenotypic and functional characteristics. In this report, we further obtained three homogeneous and distinct PDLSC clones demonstrating low, moderate and high mineralized matrix forming ability-namely PC12, PC4 and PC3, respectively, and the expression of mesenchymal stem cell pathway-specific genes in these clones was investigated. PCR array revealed that the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), integrin beta 1 (ITGB1) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) was associated with highly osteogenic PDLSC clones, as determined by the expression of key osteoblastic markers and their ability to form alizarin red S positive mineralized matrix in vitro. The present results suggest that these three mesenchymal stem cell-associated markers could potentially be used to isolate PDLSCs with high osteogenic capability for engineering new bone.
