Amelogenin Exon 5 Peptide Promotes Cell Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation in Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Abstract: Amelogenin is a complex enamel matrix protein that consists of various molecular-size proteins and amino acids. A spliced form of amelogenin was identified that included exons 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. However, the biological function of amelogenin exon 5 on dental pulp remains unknown. We designed a synthetic amelogenin exon 5 encoded peptide (SP), which was based on a protein produced by cells in response to the enamel matrix derivative (EMD). We investigated the effect of the SP on potentiation of osteogenesis and… Show more

“…In the osteogenic group, COL1A1 and MEPE , which have roles in hard tissue formation, were evaluated. As shown in Figure 8 b, the mRNA expression of COL1A1 , an early marker of bone formation [ 29 ], was significantly decreased in the BMP-2-treated group, in agreement with previous studies [ 30 , 31 ]. In contrast, the mRNA levels of MEPE , usually upregulated during the maturation of osteoblasts into osteocytes [ 32 ], was increased in the BMP-2-treated group.…”

“…Pluripotent Oct4 and Sox2 factors show higher expression levels in the apical papilla and can enhance pulp regeneration in the presence of this protein [40]. Other findings indicate that amelogenin exon 5 peptide promotes the expression of MAPK signaling pathway proteins, with enhanced cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation [41]. The results of these studies are in agreement with the current findings; however, less is known about how amelogenin might influence DPSC odontoblastic differentiation and possible molecular mechanisms [42].…”

“…The proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts which requires stimulation from TGF-β, can be promoted by amelogenin. 53,54 But it will be inhibited by the local inflammatory microenvironment (Figure 8e,e1). 52 So the expression of TGF-β improved but not obvious in the hydrogel + amelogenin group.…”
