Many studies have shown that human gingival keratinocytes grown in submerged culture fail to attain optimal differentiation. This study reports an in vitro culture system for oral gingival epithelial cells, in which they are grown at the air-liquid interface, on polycarbonate inserts, in the presence of an NIH-3T3 feeder layer. This model was compared with two submerged culture methods for gingival keratinocytes, on type 1 collagen gel and on an NIH-3T3 feeder layer. Transmission electron microscopy showed an advanced level of stratification (over six layers of cells) for cultures grown at the air-liquid interface. Immunofluorescence and electrophoretic patterns showed the presence of cytokeratins 10 and 11 in cytoskeletal protein extracts of these cultured keratinocytes. In this air-liquid interface culture model, in the presence of NIH-3T3 feeder cells, keratinocytes can achieve an advanced level of stratification and differentiation and a resemblance to in vivo gingiva. The obtention of a highly differentiated epithelium will permit in vitro pharmacological studies and studies on the biocompatability of certain alloys with the superficial periodontium; it will also provide grafts for patients undergoing periodontal surgery.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
