| description | <i>Background and Objectives</i>: Vitamin E is reported to expedite new bone formation in animal models, and this has led to a decrease in the time needed for treatment. In this study, human gingiva-derived stem cell-derived spheroids were examined to determine the effects of vitamin E on cell survival, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: Human gingiva-derived stem cells were used to create spheroids, which were then cultivated with vitamin E at doses of 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL. The morphological examination and the qualitative and quantitative vitality of the cells were assessed. Alizarin Red S staining and alkaline phosphatase activity assays were performed on days 7 and 14 to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. The expression levels of RUNX2 and COL1A1 were assessed using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. <i>Results</i>: The addition of vitamin E did not appear to alter the spheroid’s shape at the measured quantities without altering the diameter. During the culture time, the majority of the cells in the spheroids fluoresced green. Regardless of concentration, there were substantial increases in cell viability in the vitamin E-loaded groups on day 7 (<i>p</i> < 0.05). On day 14, the Alizarin Red S staining was statistically higher in the 1 ng/mL group compared to the unloaded control (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The addition of vitamin E to the culture enhanced the mRNA expression levels of RUNX2, OCN, and COL1A1 based on the real-time polymerase chain reaction data. <i>Conclusions</i>: We draw the conclusion that vitamin E may be used to promote the osteogenic differentiation of stem cell spheroids in light of these data. |
