Abstract: Objective: To explore the the effect of Caspase-3/8 on apoptosis of human gingival mesenchymal stem cells under inflammation. Methods: Gingival tissues with or without inflammation were obtained from the third impacted molars and gingival hyperplasia because of orthodontic treatment, respectively. Patients were all about 20-25 years old. Normal gingival mesenchymal stem cells (NGMSCs) and inflammatory gingival mesenchymal stem cells (IGMSCs) were isolated and cultured. Apoptosis rates of IGMSCs and NGMSCs were determined by V-FITC/PI Annexin double staining. Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 expression differences were detected by Real-Time PCR. Results: Apoptosis rate of IGMSCs (10.44%) was significantly more than that of NGMSCs (2.76%). Expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 in IGMSCs group were significantly higher than those of NGMSCs group (P<0.01) as well as TNF- α and IL-1β gene expressions. Conclusion: Caspase-3/8 plays an important role in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of mesenchymal stem cells.
