Objective: Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF), which is characterized by diffuse enlargement of the gingiva due to expansion and accumulation of connective tissue, is a relatively rare hereditary condition that has no specific cause. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the anti-tumor drugs trichostatin A (TSA; inhibits histone deacetylase) and panobinostat (LBH589; a non-selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase) inhibit the proliferation of cells derived from gingiva in patients with IGF.
Materials and methods: After osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic induction, the differences between normal gingival mesenchymal stem cells ( N-GMSCs ) and hyperplastic gingival mesenchymal stem ( H-GMSCs, theI cells from IGF ) were determined in terms of alkaline phosphatase staining and activity, alizarin red staining..
