Expression, Purification, and Characterization of a Dentin Phosphoprotein Produced by Escherichia coli, and Its Odontoblastic Differentiation Effects on Human Dental Pulp Cells

To investigate the functions of recombinant human dentin phosphoprotein (rhDPP), we examined cell adhesion, viability and the odontoblastic differentiation activity of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Firstly, rhDPP was constructed using pBAD-HisA plasmid in Escherichia coli . Cell adhesion and viab...

Zusammenfassung:To investigate the functions of recombinant human dentin phosphoprotein (rhDPP), we examined cell adhesion, viability and the odontoblastic differentiation activity of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Firstly, rhDPP was constructed using pBAD-HisA plasmid in Escherichia coli . Cell adhesion and viability of hDPCs by rhDPP was examined using a crystal violet assay and a MTT assay, ALP, mineralization activity and odontoblastic differentiation-related mRNA levels of hDPCs were measured to elucidate the odontoblastic differentiation effect of rhDPP on hDPCs. Initially, rhDPP significantly and dose-dependently increased hDPCs adhesion versus the untreated control ( p
