Abstract
Bone regeneration in dentistry is a dynamic approach for treating critical size bone defects that are unlikely to self-heal. Human bone marrow stem cell (hBMSCs) therapies are being tested clinically for various disorders and have remarkable clinical advancements in bone regeneration. Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), which is obtained from autologous blood centrifuged at 700 rpm (60 G) for 3 min can promote osteogenic differentiation of this cell, but the mechanism remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to explore the contents of i-PRF further and investigate its effect on the cell behavior of hBMSCs and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results showed that i-PRF contained 41 cytokines, including macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and β-nerve growth factor (β-NGF), which had not been reported before. The Cell Counting Kit-8 and wound healing assay showed that 10% and 20% i-PRF improved the proliferation rate and the migration capacity of hBMSCs without toxicity to cells. Besides, the expression of osteogenic markers and the capacity to form mineralized nodules of hBMSCs were promoted by 20% i-PRF. Furthermore, i-PRF activated the ERK pathway, and the ERK inhibitor attenuated its effects. In summary, i-PRF promotes hBMSCs proliferation and migration and facilitates cell osteogenesis through the ERK pathway, which has promising potential in bone regeneration.
