Introduction: The research of new sources of cells for Tissue Engineering of the human bone, it is necessary because the use of the primary choice for this therapy (bone marrow cell), can result in a morbidity of the donor area and poor expansion in vitro. Therefore, it is important to seek other cellular sources to contribute to this therapy. Objective: To evaluate the influence of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-â1) in the osteogenic differentiation of human dermal fibroblasts cultured in a collagen sponge. Methods: The collagen sponges were cut in 16x2-mm sections and distributed into four groups according to the culture medium: CONTROL (DMEM culture medium); TGF-â1 (DMEM culture medium with 10 ng/ml of TGF-â1); OSTEOG (DMEM culture medium with 0.5 ìg/ml of ascorbic acid, 10 mmol/l of â-glycerophosphate and 10 nmol/L of dexamethasone); and OSTEOG.TGF-â1 (osteogenic medium with 10 ng/ml of TGF-â1). Measurements of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the amount of osteocalcin (OC) in the supernatant, as well as measurement of the penetration of cells in the sponge by histology and measurement of calcium phosphate deposits by the Von Kossa test, were performed on days 2, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56 . Results: ALP activity and OC level: There were no differences between the CONTROL and TGF-â1 groups in any of the measurements between any of the measurement points. However, the measured values were significantly lower than the OSTEOG and OSTEOG.TGF-â1 groups. The OSTEOG.TGF-â1 group achieved significantly higher. Interaction Cell/Sponge: in all groups the cells were at the top of sponge in the beginning and there were a penetration into the sponge up to the end of the experiments. Deposits of Calcium Phosphate: There were no presence of deposits in the CONTROL and TGF-â1 groups. There were evidence of the deposits in the OSTEOG. and OSTEG. TGF-â1 groups from the 14° day up to 56° day. Conclusion: TGF-â1 in osteogenic medium increased the ALP activity and the OC levels but did not influence the interaction cell/sponge and the presence of mineralized deposits of calcium phosphate into the collagen sponge.
