Abstract
Background and Objectives: The duration of bone turnover is critical, and different time points help in identifying the optimal endpoint of treatment duration. However, investigating the combination of xenograft and stem cells to allow tissue regeneration within an ideal time duration remains an under-investigated topic. The current study aimed to assess the impact of equine-derived xenograft bone blocks in assisting the human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to demonstrate osteogenic differentiation (collagen type 1 expression and calcium deposition) within an osteogenic growth media. Materials and Methods: Human PDLSCs were acquired commercially and seeded onto xenograft bone blocks. After the 14th and 21st day of culture, enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was utilized for the detection and quantification of levels of collagen type I, while the mineralization assessment (deposition of calcium) was conducted by staining the PDLSCs with Alizarin Red S (ARS). The statistical comparison between the means and standard deviations of study groups were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: ELISA assessment revealed an upsurge in the expression of collagen type I for PDLSCs cultured with xenograft after 14 and 21 days compared to the controls (intergroup comparisons significant at p < 0.05). Similar findings were obtained for mineralization assessment and on ARS staining. PDLSCs cultured with xenograft bone blocks presented an increased deposition of calcium compared to their control counterparts (intergroup comparisons significant at p < 0.05). Conclusions: PDLSCs embedded in xenograft bone blocks inside an osteogenic growth medium demonstrated greater osteogenic differentiation potential after 14 and 21 days. This superior osteogenic differentiation capability was evident by increased collagen type I expression and more significant calcium deposition at the 14th and 21st days after culture.
