p38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase affects transforming growth factor-beta/Smad signaling in human dental pulp cells.

Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) plays an essential role in differentiation of dental pulp cells into odontoblasts during reparative dentine formation. However, the mechanism by which TGF-beta stimulates dental repair remains rather obscure. Human dental pulp cells were used as an in vitro model in the present work. We showed that TGF-beta signaled through mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such as ERK1/2 and p38, along with Smad pathway. Distinct pathways exerted different time response. SB203580, a specific p38 MAPK inhibitor, reduced phosphorylation of Smad3, while it slightly enhanced phosphorylation of Smad2. Increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 confirmed that SB203580 did not block activation of TGF-beta receptors. In addition, the inhibition of ERK1/2 activity with MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 increased TGF-beta mediated phosphorylation of Smad3. Our results suggest that p38 affects the phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 differentially during TGF-beta signaling in human dental pulp cells and ERK1/2 might be involved in the process.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase activation of cultured human dental pulp cells by low-power gallium-aluminium-arsenic laser irradiation.

AIM: To examine whether low-power laser irradiation (LPLI) promotes cellular proliferation of human dental pulp-derived fibroblast-like cells (dental pulp cells). METHODOLOGY: Dental pulp cells were obtained by primary culture of human dental pulp tissues from extracted third molar teeth. The phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family after LPLI of these cells was investigated by Western blotting. By using a specific MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor (PD098059), the specific effect of LPLI on the MAPK pathway was also investigated by Western blotting as described above. The incorporation of [3H]thymidine into the cells after LPLI was determined, and statistical analysis was performed by Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. RESULTS: Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2 was phosphorylated between 5 and 30 min after LPLI. Moreover, PD098059 inhibited LPLI-mediated ERK1/2 activation. LPLI did not affect p38 MAPK or c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation. But LPLI did not stimulate [3H]thymidine incorporation into these cells. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that LPLI activated MAPK/ERK, a signal for proliferation, differentiation and survival, but did not activate the stress signals p38 MAPK and JNK in human dental pulp cells.
