Abstrakt: Introduction: Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is performed to preserve dental pulp. However, the biocompatibility of the existing materials is of concern. Therefore, novel materials that can induce pulp healing without adverse effects need to be developed. Resolvin D2 (RvD2), one of specialized pro-resolving mediators, can resolve inflammation and promote the healing of periapical lesions. Therefore, RvD2 may be suitable for use in VPT. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of RvD2 against VPT using in vivo and in vitro models.
Methods: First molars of eight-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for pulpotomy. They were then divided into three treatment groups: RvD2, phosphate-buffered saline, and calcium hydroxide groups. Treatment results were assessed using radiological, histological, and immunohistochemical (GPR18, TNF-α, Ki67, VEGF, TGF-β, CD44, CD90, and TRPA1) analyses. Dental pulp-derived cells were treated with RvD2 in vitro and analyzed using cell-proliferation and cell-migration assays, real-time PCR ( Gpr18 , Tnf-α , Il-1β , Tgf-β , Vegf , Nanog , and Trpa1 ), ELISA (VEGF and TGF-β), immunocytochemistry (TRPA1), and flow cytometry (dental pulp stem cells: DPSCs).
Results: The formation of calcified tissue in the pulp was observed in the RvD2 and calcium hydroxide groups. RvD2 inhibited inflammation in dental pulp cells. RvD2 promoted cell proliferation and migration and the expression of TGF-β and VEGF in vitro and in vivo . RvD2 increased the number of DPSCs. In addition, RvD2 suppressed TRPA1 expression as a pain receptor.
Conclusion: RvD2 induced the formation of reparative dentin, anti-inflammatory effects, and decreased pain, along with the proliferation of DPSCs via the expression of VEGF and TGF-β, on the pulp surface in pulpotomy models.
