Summary of effects of platelet-rich fibrin on stem cells.

Cell typeInterventionOutcomeReference

Rat GSPCsPRFIncreased CBF-α1 expression[27]

Rat PDLSCsCell culture: PRF; surgical procedure: implanted PRF membrane and rat PDLSCsIncreased cell proliferation and enhanced ALP activity and OC, RUNX2, and BSP mRNA and protein levels; promoted expressions of COL1A, Opn, and RUNX2 with enhanced new alveolar and mandibular bone[28]

Human osteoblastsPRFEnhanced lactate dehydrogenase test values, cell growth, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity[23]

Human periodontal progenitors: PDL, DF, ABPRF with 10% FBSIncreased cell proliferation, migration, alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red staining, and expression of RUNX2, but reduced expression of MGP[29]

Human PDLSCsPRFInduced cell proliferation but decreased ALP activity and gene expressions of BSP and OCN[30]

DF: dental follicle progenitors; FBS: fetal bovine serum.
