牙周膜干细胞(PDLSC)存在于牙周膜组织中,是一种具有高度增殖、自我更新能力和多向分化能力的间充质干细胞,在维持牙周组织动态平衡和缺损修复的过程中发挥重要作用,被认为是牙周组织工程和再生医学的关键种子细胞之一。近年来的研究发现,多种因素可调节其干细胞特性,本文结合近年来国内外文献对影响牙周膜干细胞生物学特性的生物学因素作一叙述,并展望其在未来干细胞治疗中的应用前景。
Periodontal ligament stem cells(PDLSC) exist in the periodontal tissues. As a kind of high proliferation, selfrenewal and multilineage differentiation mesenchymal stem cells, they play an important role in maintaining dynamic homeostasis and wound repair of periodontal tissues, and are considered to be one of the crucial type of cells in periodontal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research. In recent years, it was found that a variety of factors may influencethe biological characteristics of periodontal ligament stem cells, In this paper, we reviewed the biological factors on periodontal ligament stem cells with recent literatures, and prospect the future stem cell therapy application prospect.
