Effects of sitagliptin activation of the stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXC chemokine receptor 4 signaling pathway on the proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells induced by lipopolysaccharide.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of sitagliptin on the proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory microenvironment and its molecular mechanism.
Methods: hPDLSCs were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of sitagliptin to detect cell viability and subsequently determine the experimental concentration of sitagliptin. An hPDLSCs inflammation model was established after 24 h of stimulation with 1 µg/mL LPS and divided into blank, control, low-concentration sitagliptin (0.5 µmol/L), medium-concentration sitagliptin (1 µmol/L), and high-concentration sitagliptin (2 µmol/L), high-concentrationsitagliptin+stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) pathway inhibitor (AMD3100) (2 µmol/L+10 µg/mL) groups. A cell-counting kit-8 was used to detect the proliferation activity of hPDLSCs after 24, 48, and 72 h culture. The apoptosis of hPDLSCs cultured for 72 h was detected by flow cytometry. After inducing osteogenic differentiation for 21 days, alizarin red staining was used to detect the osteogenic differentiation ability of hPDLSCs. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in hPDLSCs was determined using a kit. The levels of inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6] in the supernatant of hPDLSCs culture were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mRNA expressions of osteogenic differentiation genes [Runt-associated transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN)], SDF-1 and CXCR4 in hPDLSCs were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Western blot analysis was used to determine SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein expression in hPDLSCs.
Results: Compared with the blank group, the proliferative activity, number of mineralized nodules, staining intensity, ALP activity, and RUNX2, OCN, OPN mRNA, SDF-1, and CXCR4 mRNA and protein expression levels of hPDLSCs in the control group significantly decreased. The apoptosis rate and levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferative activity, number of mineralized nodule, staining intensity, ALP activity, and RUNX2, OCN, OPN mRNA, SDF-1, and CXCR4 mRNA and protein expression levels of hPDLSCs in low-, medium-, and high-concentration sitagliptin groups increased. The apoptosis rate and levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 decreased (P<0.05). AMD3100 partially reversed the effect of high-concentration sitagliptin on LPS-induced hPDLSCs (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Sitagliptin may promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs in LPS-induced inflammatory microenvironment by activating the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway. Furthermore, it inhibited the apoptosis and inflammatory response of hPDLSCs.
