Abstract: Objective: To observe the effect of platelet-rich fibrin on the biological behavior of primary cells and tissue regeneration in the repair of gingival defects. Methods: PRF membrane was prepared. Scanning electron microscope and histopathology were used to observe the ultrastructure. CCK-8 and transwell test was used to detect cell proliferation and migration ability. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of soft tissue healing marker genes COL-I and TGF-β at different time points. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe tissue healing at different time points, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β. Results: PRF could promote the proliferation, healing, and migration of human gingival fibroblast after trauma (P<0.05). The expressions of COL-I and TGF-β in the PRF group were higher than those in the DMEM group on day 7 (P< 0.05). The healing effect of PRF group was better than that of the control group. Histological observations showed that the PRF group had less inflammatory cell infiltration than the control group, and the PRF group had more angiogenesis than the control group. On day 7 after operation, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in the control group was higher than that in the PRF group, and the expression of TGF-β in the control group was lower than that of the PRF group (P<0.05). VEGF immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of positive cells in the PRF group was earlier than that in the control group. Conclusion: PRF can promote the expression of COL-I, TGF-β, and VEGF in the gums, reduce the local inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing.
