Effect of hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous membrane on the responses of human periodontal ligament fibroblast

In this study, hydroxyapatite-coated biopolymer nanofibrous membrane was synthesized by mineralizing the electrospun poly- caprolactone nanofiber. The effect of the hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous membrane was mainly investigated on the proliferation and differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblast, which is necessary for periodontal tissue regenera- tion. Scanning electron microscopy revealed favorable cell attachment and spreading appearance on 1 d and MTS assay showed increased cell proliferation on the hydroxyapatite-coated nanofiber membrane during 14 d. From 7 to 14 d, alkaline phos- phatase activity of the hydroxyapatite-coated nanofiber was significantly increased when compared to that of control group. Hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous membrane showed prominent mineral formation on day 14. As a result, it was clarified that the developed hydroxyapatite-coated nanofibrous membrane had favorable effects on the proliferation and differentiation of human periodontal ligament fibroblast and might be a good candidate material for periodontal tissue regeneration.
