Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of conditioned media of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-CM) under different substrate stiffness on human periodontal ligament cells’ behaviors. (A) Human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) cultured with HGF-CM in osteogenic medium for 24 h. HPDLCs morphology was demonstrated using a phase-contrast microscope. Scale bars: 300 μm. (B) Real-time RT-PCR was performed to detect gene expression levels of CXCR4 , which is receptor of CXCL12. (C) Real-time RT-PCR was performed to detect gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL1b . (D) Real-time RT-PCR was performed to detect gene expression levels of MMP8 and TIMP1 . The expression of GAPDH was used as an internal control. (E) Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of CXCR4 (green). The cytoskeleton (F-actin; red) and nuclei (blue) were stained using rhodamine-phalloidin and DAPI, respectively. Scale bars: 50 μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration shows the role of human gingival fibroblast–conditioned media (HGF-CM) in regulating osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). (A) ECM stiffness stimulates CXCL12 chemokine expression in HGFs, which is associated with enhanced osteogenic responses in HPDLCs. (B) A potential clinical application of this mechanism is the utilization of HGF-derived factors to suppress inflammatory bone resorption and stabilize periodontal tissues.
