Strategies to promote dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) functions including proliferation, migration, pro-angiogenic effects, and odontogenic/osteogenic differentiation are in urgent need to restore pulpitis-damaged dentin/pulp regeneration and DPSCs-based bone tissue engineering applications. Cannabidiol (CBD), an active component of Cannabis sativa has shown anti-inflammation, chemotactic, anti-microbial, and tissue regenerative potentials. Based on these facts, this study aimed to analyze the effect of CBD on DPSCs proliferation, migration, and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation in basal and inflammatory conditions. Highly pure DPSCs with characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were successfully isolated, as indicated by the results of flowcytometry and multi-lineage (osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic) differentiation potentials. Among the concentration tested (0.1-12.5 µM), CBD (2.5 μM) showed the highest anabolic effect on the proliferation and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Pro-angiogenic growth factor VEGF mRNA expression was robustly higher in CBD-treated DPSCs. CBD also prompted the migration of DPSCs and CBD receptor CB1 and CB2 expression in DPSCs. TNF-α inhibited the viability, migration, and osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs and CBD reversed these effects. CBD alleviated the TNF-α-upregulated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in DPSCs. In conclusion, our results indicate the possible application of CBD on DPSCs-based dentin/pulp and bone regeneration.
为了促进牙髓干细胞(DPSCs)的功能,包括增殖、迁移、促血管生成作用和牙源性/成骨分化,急需恢复牙髓炎损伤的牙本质/牙髓再生和基于 DPSCs 的骨组织工程应用。大麻素(Cannabidiol,CBD)是大麻的一种活性成分,具有抗炎、趋化、抗菌和组织再生潜力。基于这些事实,本研究旨在分析 CBD 在基础和炎症条件下对 DPSCs 增殖、迁移和成骨/成牙本质分化的影响。通过流式细胞术和多系(成骨、成脂和成软骨)分化潜能的结果,成功分离出具有间充质干细胞(MSCs)特征的高纯度 DPSCs。在测试的浓度(0.1-12.5 μM)中,CBD(2.5 μM)对 DPSCs 的增殖和成骨/成牙本质分化表现出最高的合成代谢作用。促血管生成生长因子 VEGF 的 mRNA 表达在 CBD 处理的 DPSCs 中更高。CBD 还促使 DPSCs 迁移,以及 DPSCs 中 CBD 受体 CB1 和 CB2 的表达。TNF-α 抑制 DPSCs 的活力、迁移和成骨/成牙本质分化,而 CBD 逆转了这些作用。CBD 减轻了 TNF-α 上调的 DPSCs 中促炎细胞因子 TNF-α、白细胞介素(IL)-1β 和 IL-6 的表达。总之,我们的结果表明 CBD 可能应用于基于 DPSCs 的牙本质/牙髓和骨再生。
