Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of erythropoietin on migration of human dental pulp cells and preliminarily explore the mechanisms.

Methods

The mRNA levels of chemotaxis factors were measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) . Transwell migration assay was conducted to estimate the effect of EPO on the migration of hDPCs. The phosphorylated levels of ERK, p38 and JNK in hDPCs after stimulation of EPO within 120min were determined by western blot. Wound-healing migration assay was conducted to observe the effect of MAPK inhibitors on migration induced by EPO in hDPCs.

Results

The mRNA expression of CXCR4 and SDF-1 were enhanced by EPO (tCXCR4= 5.727, PCXCR4= 0.005; tSDF-1= 3.412, PSDF-1= 0.027) . The migration ability of hDPCs was improved under EPO in comparison to control group (F= 207.775, P10 U/ml= 0.000, P20 U/ml= 0.000, P40 U/ml= 0.000) . Both p-ERK (t15 min= 6.554, P15 min= 0.000; t30 min= 17.305, P30 min= 0.000; t60 min= 8.913, P60 min= 0.000; t120 min=-5.896, P120 min= 0.934) and p-p38 (t15 min= 4.396, P15 min= 0.004; t30 min= 6.447, P30 min= 0.000; t60 min= 34.676, P60 min= 0.000; t120 min= 4.689, P120 min= 0.003) were upregulated within 120 min after EPO treatment. Wound-healing migration assay showed that the migration ability of hDPCs was inhibited by U0126 and SB203580 pretreatment (tEPO-U0126= 2.422, PEPO- U0126= 0.025; tEPO-SB203580= 3.837, PEPO-SB203580= 0.001) .

Conclusion

EPO upregulated mRNA expression of chemotaxis factors CXCR4 and SDF-1, and enhanced hDPCs migration through activating MAPK pathway.
