Zusammenfassung:Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is a severe adverse reaction, which results in progressive bone destruction in the maxillofacial region of patients. To date, the pathological mechanisms remain largely unclear. Recently, we found that BRONJ patient had significantly deep periodontal pockets and severe periodontal bone defects before the exposed necrotic bone. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) play key roles in physiological maintenance and regeneration of periodontal tissues. However, the activities of hPDLSCs derived from BRONJ lesions and the role of hPDLSCs in BRONJ periodontal defect repair remain poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of hPDLSCs in BRONJ. In this study, we found that the capacities of cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration of hPDLSCs derived from BRONJ lesions (BRONJ-hPDLSCs) were significantly decreased compared with control-hPDLSCs. BRONJ-hPDLSCs underwent early apoptosis compared with control-hPDLSCs. Importantly, we first demonstrated that BRONJ-hPDLSCs exhibited impaired osteogenic differentiation abilities in ectopic osteogenesis of nude mice. The above results suggested that the impaired BRONJ-hPDLSCs may be an important factor in deficient periodontal repair of BRONJ lesions and provide new insight into the underlying mechanism of BRONJ.
