Abstract

Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells exhibit several osteoblastic traits and are parathyroid hormone (PTH)-responsive providing evidence for a role of these cells in dental hard-tissue repair. To examine the hypothesis that PDL cells respond to PTH stimulation with changes in proliferation and apoptotic signaling through independent but convergent signaling pathways, PDL cells were cultured from human bicuspids obtained from six patients. PDL cells at different states of maturation were challenged with PTH(1–34) intermittently for 0, 1, or 24 h/cycle or exposed continuously. Specific inhibitors to protein kinases A and C (PKA, PKC) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade (MAPK) were employed. At harvest, the cell number, BrdU incorporation, and DNA fragmentation were determined by means of cell counting and immunoassays. Intermittent PTH(1–34) caused a significant increase in cell number in confluent cells as opposed to a reduction in pre-confluent cells. In confluent cells, the effect resulted from a significant increase in proliferation, whereas DNA fragmentation was reduced when PTH(1–34) was administered for 1 h/cycle but increased after PTH(1–34) for 24 h/cycle. Inhibition of PKC inhibited PTH(1–34)-induced proliferation but enhanced apoptosis. Inhibition of PKA enhanced proliferation and DNA fragmentation. Similar results were obtained in less mature cells, although, in the presence of the PKA inhibitor, the PTH(1–34)-induced changes were more pronounced than in confluent cells. In the presence of the MAPK inhibitor, all of the parameters examined were reduced significantly in both maturation states. Thus, PTH(1–34) mediates proliferative and apoptotic signaling in human PDL cells in a maturation-state-dependent manner via PKC-dependent and PKA-dependent pathways.
