This study was aimed to test the effect of fibronectin (FN), vitronectin (VN) and a fibronectin analog (fibronectin-like engineered protein) on the attachment of periodontal ligament cells to mechanically-treated and mechanically non-treated periodontally involved and non-diseased root surfaces in vitro. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts were incubated with a total of 44 periodontally diseased and non-diseased root slices which had been treated in the following manner: 1) FN applied to mechanically-treated and non-treated root slices, 2) VN applied to mechanically-treated and non-treated root slices, 3) FN-like engineered protein applied to mechanically-treated and non-treated root slices, and 4) mechanically-treated and non-treated root slices. After the 1 hour incubation period in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37 degrees C, the adherence of the fibroblasts was determined using light microscopy with an ocular grid system and orientation was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the number of attached cells to non-diseased cementum sites was significantly greater than the number of attached cells to diseased cementum sites for all of the groups (p < 0.05). Likewise, the number of attached cells to mechanically-treated diseased cementum sites was significantly greater than the number of attached cells to mechanically-non-treated diseased cementum sites (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that these attachment factors cannot promote cell attachment to different cementum sites.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D003739 Dental Cementum The bonelike rigid connective tissue covering the root of a tooth from the cementoenamel junction to the apex and lining the apex of the root canal, also assisting in tooth support by serving as attachment structures for the periodontal ligament.

D005347 Fibroblasts Connective tissue cells which secrete an extracellular matrix rich in collagen and other macromolecules. Fibroblast
D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D016326 Extracellular Matrix Proteins Macromolecular organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually, sulfur. These macromolecules (proteins) form an intricate meshwork in which cells are embedded to construct tissues. Variations in the relative types of macromolecules and their organization determine the type of extracellular matrix, each adapted to the functional requirements of the tissue. The two main classes of macromolecules that form the extracellular matrix are: glycosaminoglycans, usually linked to proteins (proteoglycans), and fibrous proteins (e.g., COLLAGEN; ELASTIN; FIBRONECTINS; and LAMININ).
