ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purposes of this study are to explore the roles of microRNA-218 (miR-218) delivered by a newly designed magnetic nanocarrier GCC-Fe3O4 (GCC-Fe) in dentinogenesis potentials of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs).METHODS:
Human DPSCs were obtained from impacted wisdom teeth of healthy donors under the permission of National Taiwan University Hospital institutional review board (NTUH IRB). Meanwhile, the transfection efficiency of GCC-Fe was evaluated. After transfecting miR-218 (GFm) and miR-218 inhibitor (GFmi) into DPSCs for 24 h, the dentinogenesis potentials of DPSCs were then evaluated with Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining with or without induction for 1, 4, and 9 days. Possible signaling pathway was further investigated by Western Blotting.RESULTS:
We found that the magnetic GCC-Fe3O4 nanocarrier was serum endurable with about 90% transfection efficiency in DPSCs under normal culture condition. Results of ARS staining indicated that miR-218 was negatively regulating dentinogenesis potentials of DPSCs after induction. When the miR-218 inhibitor was delivered, calcium deposits in DPSCs were increased significantly. We also discovered that the effects of miR-218 were further regulated through the MAPK/ERK pathway.CONCLUSION:
We identified that miR-218 had a negative regulation role in the dentinogenesis of DPSCs. By inhibiting miR-218, the mineralization potentials of DPSCs were promoted after induction. In addition, we also confirmed that the highly efficient magnetic GCC-Fe3O4 nanocarrier not only was suitable for gene manipulation in biomedical studies, but also ideal for future clinical applications due to its serum endurable property.Palabras clave
