Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of miR-410 on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated proliferation ability and inflammatory factor secretion of dental pulp stem cell by regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.
Methods The expression changes of miR-410 in dental pulp stem cells stimulated with LPS at different times (0, 12, 24, 48 h) were detected by qRT-PCR.Dental pulp stem cells were divided into control (Con) group, LPS group (treated with 10 ng/mL LPS for 48 h), LPS+miR-NC group (transfected with miR-NC and then treated with LPS for 48 h), LPS+miR-410 mimics group (transfected with miR-410 and then treated with LPS for 48 h), LPS+miR-410 mimics+PMA group (transfected with miR-410 and then treated with PMA and LPS for 48 h).The expression of miR-410 was detected by qRT-PCR, the cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, the secretion of inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) was detected by ELISA, and the expressions of cell cycle-related protein CyclinD1 and NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins p-p65 NF-κB and p-IκBα were detected by Western blotting.
Results The expression of miR-410 in dental pulp stem cells was gradually decreased with the increase of LPS treatment time (P < 0.01).Compared with the Con group, the expression levels of miR-410, cell survival rate, and expression levels CyclinD1 protein of dental pulp stem cells in the LPS group were decreased, while the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were increased, the protein expression levels of p-p65 NF-κB and p-IκBα were increased (P < 0.05).Compared with the LPS+miR-NC group, the expression level of miR-410, cell survival rate, and CyclinD1 protein expression level of dental pulp stem cells in the LPS+miR-410 mimics group were increased, while the expression levels of p-p65 NF-κB and p-IκBα were decreased (P < 0.05).Compared with the LPS+miR-410 mimics group, the cell survival rate and CyclinD1 protein expression level of dental pulp stem cells in the LPS+miR-410 mimics+PMA group were significantly decreased, while the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were significantly increased (P < 0.01).
Conclusions Overexpression of miR-410 can promote the proliferation ability of LPS-stimulated dental pulp stem cells and inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.
