DSPP (Dentin Sialophosphoprotein)

We systematically delineate how these collective stimuli converge on wingless/integrated/beta-catenin, mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and bone morphogenetic protein/Sma and Mad related protein pathways to modulate key odontogenic markers (runt-related transcription factor 2, dentin sialophosphoprotein, dentin matrix protein 1, alkaline phosphatase) and mineralization outcomes. By applying a microenvironment-centric lens, we reveal novel targets and strategies to recalibrate inflammation, steer DPSCs toward reparative odontogenesis, and ultimately enhance the efficacy of regenerative endodontic therapies.

These observations support SIBLINGs as biomarkers that associate with DFS and OS in prediagnosis samples.

These results suggest that cannabidiol may positively influence the biomineralization process and modulate inflammatory mediator expression.

Moreover, secretion of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-4, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) was substantially suppressed by Mg-BG. Collectively, the results of this study suggest that Mg-BG has excellent in vitro bioactivity and is a potential material for vital pulp therapy for inflamed pulps.

In addition, high levels of mineralization-related factors, namely, tumor growth factors β 1 and 2 (TGFβ-1 and TGFβ-2), bone morphogenetic proteins 2 and 4 (BMP2 and BMP4), bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1 (BMPR1), SMAD family member 2 (SMAD2), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Msh homeobox 2 (MSX2), transcription factor SP7 (SP7), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 (DMP1), and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), were expressed, and MALAT1 was significantly overexpressed in DPCs 7 and 14 days after mineralization induction in a high-glucose microenvironment, but only TGFβ-1, BMP2, MSX2, SP7, ALP, and DSPP were significantly downregulated in DPCs after MALAT1 inhibition. MALAT1 may participate in the mineralization process of DPCs by regulating multiple factors (TGFβ-1, BMP2, MSX2, SP7, ALP, and DSPP).
