ABSTRACT

Based on the high self-renewal ability and osteoblastic differentiation capacity, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are suggested to be promising cell source for osteogenesis. Therefore, illustrating the mechanism of osteoblastic differentiation of DPSCs is required. This current study aims to illustrate the role and mechanism of Sp1 in regulating osteoblastic differentiation of DPSCs. In this study, we downregulated Sp1 in DPSCs and evaluated the osteoblastic differentiation by measuring Runx2 and OCN expression with Western blot analysis and by Alizarin red staining. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanism of Sp1 regulating noggin with Firefly luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP assay, and correspondingly evaluated the function of noggin in Sp1-regulated osteoblastic differentiation of DPSCs. We found that knockdown of Sp1 inhibits the expression of ALP, Runx2, COL1A1 and OCN, and decreases ALP staining, Alizarin red staining. Sp1 binds to noggin promoter and inhibits noggin expression, thus correspondingly regulates DPSCs osteoblastic differentiation. In conclusion, our study revealed that Sp1 regulates DPSCs osteoblastic differentiation through noggin and that Sp1/noggin can provide new perspective for enhancing DPSCs osteogenesis.
