Abstract
Background
This study uses a scratch wound healing assay to investigate the angiogenic potential of secretomes derived from dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs). Angiogenesis, defined as the process of generating new blood vessels, plays a pivotal role in the mechanisms of tissue regeneration and repair.
Methodology
We cultured DMSCs under standard conditions, collected the secretomes, and applied them to human endothelial cells cultured in a scratch-assay setup. Endothelial cell migration into the scratch area was observed and quantified over a 48-h period. Results were compared to controls treated with a standard growth medium.
Results
Preliminary findings indicate that DMSC-derived secretomes of dental pulp significantly enhance the migration of endothelial cells compared to controls, suggesting a strong angiogenic potential.
Conclusion
These findings show that DMSC secretomes from dental pulp can help with angiogenesis. This could have big effects on the development of new treatments for tissue repair and regeneration. This study provides valuable insights into the paracrine mechanisms through which DMSCs may contribute to angiogenesis, highlighting their potential in regenerative medicine applications.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
