To clarify whether fibroblasts could be involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal pocket formation, the chemotactic activity of radicular cystderived fibroblast-like cell (RCF) -conditioned medium (RCF-CM) for gingival epithelial cells was examined using a modified Boyden chamber assay. RCF-CM possessed significant chemotactic activity, which was decreased markedly by treatment with anti-human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) antibody. Furthermore, the chemotactic activity of RCF-CM was well correlated with HGF content. These results show that the RCF secrete an HGF-like factor, and suggest that such a factor derived from periodontal fibroblasts might play a role in epithelial apical migration in periodontitis. (J.
