The Influence of Pro-Inflammatory Factors on Sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 Production in Human Dental Pulp Cells Under Hypoxic Conditions.


ABSTRACT: Sclerostin (Sost) and dickkopf (Dkk)-1 are inhibitors of the Wnt signaling pathway that plays a role in regenerative processes. Hypoxia-based strategies are used for regenerative approaches, but the influence of hypoxia on Sost and Dkk-1 production in a pro-inflammatory environment is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess if pro-inflammatory molecules have an influence on Sost and Dkk-1 production in dental pulp cells (DPC) under normoxia and hypoxia. Human DPC were treated with interleukin (IL)-1?, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)? or transforming growth factor (TGF)?, with L-mimosine (L-MIM) or hypoxia or a combination. Sost and Dkk-1 mRNA and protein levels were measured with qPCR and western blot, respectively. TNF?, TGF?, L-MIM, or combined treatment did not modulate Sost and Dkk-1. IL-1? downregulated Sost at the mRNA level. Hypoxia alone and together with inflammatory markers downregulated Dkk-1 at the mRNA level. Sost and Dkk-1 protein production was below the detection limit. In conclusion, there is a differential effect of hypoxia and IL-1? on the mRNA production of Sost and Dkk-1. Pro-inflammatory molecules do not further modulate the effects of L-MIM or hypoxia on Sost and Dkk-1 production in DPC.
