促红细胞生成素对人牙髓细胞增殖和成骨分化的影响

目的：探讨促红细胞生成素（EPO）对体外培养的人牙髓细胞（hDPCs）增殖和成骨分化的影响。方法：体外培养鉴定人牙髓细胞。使用 EPO 对在成骨诱导培养基中培养的牙髓细胞进行刺激，CCK-8检测 EPO 对牙髓细胞增殖的影响；20 U ／ml EPO 培养 hDPCs 7 d 和14 d，采用碱性磷酸酶活性（ALP）检测和茜素红染色观察 EPO 对牙髓细胞矿化的影响；利用 Real-time PCR 检测加入 EPO 后牙髓细胞成牙本质向分化相关基因的表达情况。结果：EPO 以时间和剂量依赖性方式促进牙髓细胞的增殖；20 U ／ml 的 EPO 后作用，牙髓细胞碱性磷酸酶活性显著提高（P ＜0．05），钙结节形成明显增多；成牙本质向分化相关基因 DSPP、OCN、OSTERIX、RUNX2的表达明显上调（P ＜0．05）。结论：EPO 能促进人牙髓细胞的增殖和分化。

The effects of erythropoietin on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells

Objective:To evaluate the effects of erythropoietin (EPO)on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells(hDPCs)in vitro.Methods:Isolated hDPCs were cultured and identified.The cells were treated by EPO and the proliferation of the cells was determined by CCK-8 assay.After incubation with EPO at 20 U /ml in osteogenic induction medium for 7 and 1 4 days,the mineralization of hDPCs was observed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP)activity assay and alizarin red staining.Real-time PCR was utilized to detect the expression of odontogenesis-related genes.Results:EPO enhanced the proliferation of hDPCs in a time-and dose-dependent manner.After treatment with EPO,ALP activity and the minerialized nodes of the cells increased(P <0.05);the expression levels of odontogenesis-related genes DSPP,OCN,OSTERIX and RUNX2 were upregulated(P <0.05).Con-clusion:EPO can promote proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp cells.
