Abstract

Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can be induced towards odontogenic differentiation. Previous studies have shown that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is able to induce the osteogenic differentiation of cells, but the effectiveness of VEGF in the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of lentivirus‑mediated human VEGF gene transfection on the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of human DPSCs in vitro. DPSCs were transfected with either lentiviral pCDH‑CMV‑MCS‑EFI‑copGFP (pCDH) vector or recombinant pCDH‑VEGF vector, and the growth characteristics of the resulting DPSCs/Vector and DPSCs/VEGF were subsequently assessed. The odontogenic differentiation genes of the two groups of cells, including alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), were evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The specific proteins of odontogenic differentiation, including dentin sialoprotein and DMP1, were analyzed by western blotting. DPSCs/VEGF showed similar proliferation characteristics to DPSCs/Vector during the observation period. qPCR results showed that the relative VEGF gene expression was significantly higher in DPSCs/VEGF than that in DPSCs/Vector two days after transfection (P<0.01). Similarly, western blot analysis showed that the protein expression levels of VEGF were higher in DPSCs/VEGF than those in DPSCs/Vector. On the first, fourth, eighth and 16th days after lentivirus‑mediated transfection, the expression of odontogenic differentiation‑specific genes and proteins was higher in DPSCs/VEGF than that in DPSCs/Vector. These results indicated that lentivirus‑mediated VEGF gene transfection promoted the odontogenic differentiation of human DPSCs in vitro.
