Abstract
Stem cells obtained from the body tissue, such as adipose tissue, dental pulp and gingival tissue. Fresh tissue is often used to isolate and culture for regenerative medicine. However, availability of tissue as and when required is one of the measure issue in regenerative medicine. Cryopreservation of tissue provides benefit over tissue availability, storage for significant amount of period and helps preserve the original cell structures. The effects of cryopreservation of gingival tissue for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) are not well documented; however this process is of increasing importance for regenerative therapies. This study examined the effect of cryopreservation on the long term survival the whole gingival biopsy tissue. We studied cell outgrowth, cell morphology, MSC surface-markers and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from cryopreserved gingiva. In this study, gingival tissue was cryopreserved for 3, 6, 9 months. Cryopreserved tissue has been thawed and cells were isolated by using explant culture method. The fresh and cryopreserved gingival tissue cells were cultured and characterized for surface marker analysis, CFU-f, population doubling time, and osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. The fresh and cryopreserved tissue has similar stem cell properties. Results indicate that cryopreservation of the entire gingival tissue does not affect the properties of stem cells. This opens door for gingival tissue banking for future use in periodontology and regenerative medicine.
