ABSTRACT
Objective To study the functional roles of 1,25(OH)2D3 in osteogenic differentiation of the dental papilla stem cells. Methods The dental papilla stem cells were isolated and cultured in medium supplemented with different con-centrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 (1, 10 and 100 nmol/L). MTT assay was used to detect the cell growth, and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle. Western blot assay was used to detect protein expression levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and vitamin D receptor (VDR). After siRNA silencing VDR expression, protein levels of RANKL and OPG were detected. Results MTT and flow cytometry results showed that there were no sig-nificant differences in the cell proliferation between different concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 (1, 10 and 100 nmol/L) and con-trol groups (P>0.05). Western blot results showed that there were protein expressions of VDR, RANKL and OPG in control group. The protein expressions of VDR, RANKL and OPG were increased after adding 1,25(OH)2D3, in which the upward trend was the most significant in VDR. After VDR expression was silenced by siRNA, the protein expression levels of VDR, RANKL and OPG were decreased. Conclusion 1,25(OH) 2D3 affects the osteoblast differentiation process of the dental pa-pilla stem cells by adjusting the VDR expression.
