Periodontal ligament versus bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in combination with Bio-Oss scaffolds for ectopic and in situ bone formation: A comparative study in the rat
The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic effects of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) versus bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in combination with Bio-Oss scaffolds on subcutaneous and critical-size defects in the immunodeficient rat calvarium. PDLSCs and BMMSCs were obtained from the same canine donor. Twenty-four rats were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups (n = 6 each): group A (no-graft negative control), group B (Bio-Oss positive control), group C (BMMSC/Bio-Oss test group), and group D (PDLSC/Bio-Oss test group). Eight weeks post-transplantation, ectopic and in situ bone regeneration was evaluated by micro-computed tomography (µ-CT), histology, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry. The stem cell/Bio-Oss constructs were significantly superior to the controls in terms of their ability to promote osteogenesis (p < 0.01), while the PDLSC/Bio-Oss construct tended to be superior to the BMMSC/Bio-Oss construct. Thus, engineered stem cell/Bio-Oss complexes can successfully reconstruct critical-size defects in rats, and PDLSCs and BMMSCs are both suitable as seed cells.
