Cultures of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) and human alveolar bone cells (HABC) were established, maintained, and characterized with respect to alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, a marker enzyme of bone cells. During the proliferative phase, ALPase of HPLF and HABC were not detectable. But at the confluent stage, HPLF synthesized levels of ALPase similar to HABC. Also, ALPase activity of HPLF was markedly stimulated (7.5-fold) by 5 x 10-9 mol/L 1,25 (OH)2-vitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2-D3). Therefore, since ALPase activity of HPLF resembles that present in osteoblasts, human periodontal ligament fibroblasts may function as "osteoblastic" fibroblasts.

Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts (hPDLF), as part of the periodontal apparatus, modulate inflammation, regeneration and bone remodeling. Interferences are clinically manifested as attachment loss, tooth loosening and root resorption. During orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), remodeling and adaptation of the periodontium is required in order to enable tooth movement. hPDLF involvement in the early phase-OTM compression side was investigated for a 72-h period through a well-studied in vitro model. Changes in the morphology, cell proliferation and cell death were analyzed. Specific markers of the cell cycle were investigated by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The study showed that the morphology of hPDLF changes towards more unstructured, unsorted filaments under mechanical compression. The total cell numbers were significantly reduced with a higher cell death rate over the whole observation period. hPDLF started to recover to pretreatment conditions after 48 h. Furthermore, key molecules involved in the cell cycle were significantly reduced under compressive force at the gene expression and protein levels. These findings revealed important information for a better understanding of the preservation and remodeling processes within the periodontium through Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts during orthodontic tooth movement. OTM initially decelerates the hPDLF cell cycle and proliferation. After adapting to environmental changes, human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts can regain homeostasis of the periodontium, affecting its reorganization.
