Several studies have examined the role of enamel matrix proteins in root formation and periodontal regeneration, although most of these have focused on a few specific genes which had previously been implicated. However, recent advances in expressional profiling have made it possible to examine the range of genetic responses involved in these processes. In the present experiments, we have therefore utilized this technique to determine the effects of enamel matrix proteins on the gene activities of periodontal ligament cells in vitro. Such cells were found to have an elevated level of RNA synthesis compared with control cells. Moreover, hybridization of the cDNA prepared from this RNA to gene array filters showed that there was differential expression of 121 genes, most of which had not previously been associated with periodontal regeneration. Some of these selective changes in gene activity might thus reflect the fundamental events that underlie periodontal development.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with plaques as the initiating factor, which will induce the destruction of periodontal tissues. Numerous studies focused on how to obtain periodontal tissue regeneration in inflammatory environments. Previous studies have reported adenovirus-mediated human β-defensin 3 (hBD3) gene transfer could potentially enhance the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) and bone repair in periodontitis. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the ideal inorganic nanomaterials in biomedicine applications, were proved to have synergetic effects with gene transfection. To further observe the potential promoting effects, AuNPs were added to the transfected cells. The results showed the positive effects of osteogenic differentiation while applying AuNPs into hPDLCs transfected by adenovirus encoding hBD3 gene. In vivo, after rat periodontal ligament cell (rPDLC) transplantation into SD rats with periodontitis, AuNPs combined hBD3 gene modification could also promote periodontal regeneration. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was demonstrated to potentially regulate both the in vitro and in vivo processes. In conclusion, AuNPs can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hBD3 gene-modified hPDLCs and periodontal regeneration via the p38 MAPK pathway.
