血根碱通过 NF-κB 信号通路调控牙周膜干细胞成骨分化.

To investigate the effect and mechanism of sanguinarine (SAN) on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). hPDLSCs were divided into 6 groups: Control group, TNF-α group, TNF-α+0.1SAN group, TNF-α+1SAN group, TNF-α+10SAN group and TNF-α+100SAN group. All hPDLSCs were cultured in osteogenic induction medium. Except Control group, 10 ng/mL TNF-α was added to the culture medium of other groups. 0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L sanguinarine were added to the culture medium of TNF-α+0.1SAN group, TNF-α+1SAN group, TNF-α+10SAN group and TNF-α+100SAN group, respectively. HPDLSCs of all groups were cultured at 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 for 21 days. The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was detected by visible light colorimetry. The formation of calcified nodules was observed by alizarin red staining, and OD562 nm (representing the amount of calcified nodules) was counted. The transcription levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), osterix (OSX), cementum attachment protein (CAP) and Smad4 were detected by qRT-PCR. The phosphorylation level of NF-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 was detected by Western blot. Compared with that in the Control group, the relative ALP activity, amount of calcified nodules, and the relative expression of RUNX2, OCN, OSX, CAP and Smad4 mRNA in TNF-α group decreased (P<0.05), while p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 increased (P<0.05). Compared with that in the TNF-α group, the relative ALP activity, amount of calcified nodules, RUNX2, OCN, OSX, CAP and Smad4 mRNA expression of TNF-α+1SAN group, TNF-α+10SAN group and TNF-α+100SAN group increased (P<0.05), while p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 decreased (P<0.05). Sanguinarine can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs treated with TNF-α, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the activation of NF-κB. Sanguinarine may be a candidate drug to promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs in inflammatory microenvironment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
