Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are capable of forming mineralized nodules. The proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs are very important for alleviating tooth defects caused by related diseases. Angel-ica polysaccharide (ASP) is the main bioactive ingredient extracted from the angelica root. ASP has a variety of biological functions, including immune regulation, antitumor activity, and hematopoiesis. However, its possible effects on hDPSCs are still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of ASP in periodontal diseases. We found that ASP promoted the proliferation of hDPSCs and osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. We further found that it promoted the expression of osteogenic-related genes, including ALP, RUNX2, Col1a1, and OCN. Mechanically, we found that ASP activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In conclusion, our results suggested that ASP promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
期刊介绍:
''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research and review papers associated with the quality and safety of food and food sources including cereals, grains, oilseeds, fruits, root crops and animal sources. It targets both primary materials and their conversion to human foods. There is a strong focus on the development and application of new analytical tools and their potential for quality assessment, assurance, control and safety. The scope includes issues of risk assessment, traceability, authenticity, food security and socio-economic impacts. Manuscripts presenting novel data and information that are likely to significantly contribute to scientific knowledge in areas of food quality and safety will be considered.
''Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods'' provides a forum for all those working in the specialist field of food quality and safety to report on the progress and outcomes of their research.
