Abstract

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor-I and -II (IGF-I and -II), acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated [125I]-deoxyuridine incorporation about 13-, 6.2-, 4.6-, 3.8-, 3.1- and 1.2-fold, respectively, above control values at a concentration of 50 ng/ml. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) decreased incorporation about 30% at the same dose. aFGF, IGF-I, IGF-II, bFGF and TGF-β increased [35S]-sulphate incorporation 231, 71, 64, 42 and 39%, respectively, in proliferating cells, while EGF, IGF-I, TGF-β and PDGF decreased incorporation about 30%, and aFGF increased incorporation 80% in stationary-stage culture. TGF-β, PDGF, aFGF and bFGF caused 65-40% inhibition of alkaline phosphatase activity in proliferating and stationary cultures. These findings suggest that the proliferation of pulp cells may be stimulated mainly by PDGF and IGF-I, and the production of extracellular matrix proteoglycan may be enhanced by aFGF, IGF-I and IGF-II. Furthermore, TGF-β, PDGF, aFGF and bFGF may regulate the differentiation of pulp cells into odontoblasts.

      Odontoblasts are a group of cells unique to dental tissues; therefore, the studies investigating odontoblastic cell differentiation have been primarily carried out in dental MSCs, rather than non-dental MSCs. Both primary ligands of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 1 family, FGF-1 and FGF-2, have been observed to induce in vitro odontoblastic differentiation, and subsequent calcific tissue mineralisation (He et al., 2008; Nakashima, 1992). FGFs exert their effects through complex pathways, regulated by an array of transcription factors (Nunthawan, Chenphop, Prasit, & Thanaphum, 2017; Wu et al., 2012).

      Accordingly, TGF-β1 has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of mesenchymal cells, such as fibroblasts and osteoblasts (33, 34). For studies on dental pulp cells, Nakashima (35) found that TGF-β1 (0.5–5 ng/mL) inhibited DNA synthesis in bovine dental pulp cells in the presence of 10% serum. Chan et al (29) also found that TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 slightly inhibited (about 20%) the growth of human dental pulp cells in the presence of 10% fetal serum.
