Human adult dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) are a heterogeneous stem cell population, which are able to differentiate down neural, chondrocyte, osteocyte and adipocyte lineages. We studied the expression pattern of p75 neurotrophin receptors (p75NTR), a marker of neural stem cells, within human DPSC populations from eight donors. p75NTR are expressed at low levels (<10%) in DPSC. Importantly, p75(+) DPSC represent higher expression levels of SOX1 (neural precursor cell marker), SOX2 (cell pluripotency marker) and nestin (neural stem cell marker) in comparison to p75(-) DPSC. Our results suggest that p75(+) hDPSC may denote a subpopulation with greater neurogenic potential.
人类成人牙髓干细胞(DPSC)是一种异质性干细胞群体,能够分化为神经细胞、软骨细胞、骨细胞和脂肪细胞谱系。我们研究了神经干细胞标志物p75神经营养因子受体(p75NTR)在来自八位供体的人类DPSC群体中的表达模式。p75NTR在DPSC中的表达水平较低(<10%)。重要的是,与p75(-)DPSC相比,p75(+)DPSC表现出更高水平的SOX1(神经前体细胞标志物)、SOX2(细胞多能性标志物)和巢蛋白(神经干细胞标志物)表达。我们的结果表明,p75(+)hDPSC可能代表具有更大神经发生潜能的亚群。
