Popis: Aim To investigate the role of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the odontoclast differentiation of MDPC-23 cells. It was hypothesized that MDPC-23 odontoblast-like cells may function as odontoclasts under the influence of LPS. Methodology MDPC-23 cells were cultured in the presence of 0.1 or 1 μg mL−1 LPS for 6 days. Cell viability was determined using the CCK8 assay. TRAP staining, dentine resorption assay and ROS detection by confocal laser scanning microscope were used to test the odontoclast-like function of the induced cells. In additional, the related protein expression was confirmed by Western blotting and ELISA. An unpaired Student's t-test and one-way anova were used in statistical analysis. Results TRAP-positive cells, which are multinucleated, on the dentine slice were significantly increased in 1 μg mL−1 LPS-induced cells (P 0.05). ROS production was observed in the 1 μg mL−1 LPS treatment group (P 0.05). Conclusions A known value of 1 μg mL−1 LPS might induce odontoblast-like MDPC-23 cells to generate odontoclast-like cells or to function as odontoclasts. The data might provide a new explanation for the precursors of odontoclasts and root resorption.
