Abstract: Objective: To investigate the influence of ubiquitin-specific protease 12 (USP 12) on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under cyclic tension. Methods: Primary hPDLSCs were collected and the differentiation characteristics were detected by osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation experiments. The expression of USP 12 was detected by real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assay. The osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs was detected by ALP staining test. The expressions of ALP, OGT, and OPN were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: The primary hPDLSCs had the potential of multi-directional differentiation. The expression of USP 12 increased at first and then decreased after cyclic stretch stimulation. The expression of ALP and OGT increased at first and then decreased, and the expression of OPN increased gradually. Conclusion: USP 12 may promote osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs under cyclic tension.
