Abstract:
Objective
To investigate the effect of osteogenic growth peptide on proliferation and mineralization of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) in vitro.
Methods
The hDPCs were cultured in vitro with tissue-explants enzymatic digestion method.The morphological characters of the cells were observed by inverted microscope.We selected the best concentration of OGP beneficial to the proliferation and ALP activity of cultured hDPCs by using CCK-8 method and alkaline phosphatase activity test; Alizarin bordeaux and Von Kossa staining methods were used to observe the minera-lization nodules.RT-PCR test was used to detect relative RNA level of CollagenⅠ, DSPP and OCN.
Results
Tissue-explants enzymatic digestion method could cultivate hDPCs well in vitro; the maximum response was obtained with 10 -10 mol/L and 10-9 mol/L by using CCK-8 method.However, the optimal concentration was 10 -9 mol/L by using alkaline phosphatase activity test.Alizarin bordeaux and Von Kossa staining cells cultured for 14 and 21 d,we discovered mineralization nodules in each group, but in the join group the nodules were more numerouse and larger.The results of RT-PCR test showed that mRNA level of CollagenⅠ, DSPP and OCN was higher in the join group.
Conclusions
OGP could promote the proliferation and mineralization of hDPCs in vitro, and the optimal concentration was 10-9 mol/L when considering the two aspects.Alizarin bordeaux and Von Kossa staining methods could observe the mineralization nodules dramaticlly.Mineralization induced liquid containing OGP group could markedly improve the mineralization of hDPCs in vitro.
