Abstract

Inflammatory cells express the inflammatory cytokines and growth factors induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Odontoblasts are located at the pulp-dentin interface and extend their cell processes far into the dentin where they are the first cells to encounter microorganisms or their products. Therefore, this study examined the expression of some growth factors related to the signal pathway, such as growth factor receptor binding protein 2 (Grb2)-Ras in odontoblast-like dental pulp cells, after a treatment with LPS. After 60 minutes, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Grb2 and Ras were higher in the LPS-treated cells than in the control cells. The level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA expression was increased significantly to a level similar to that of Grb2 and Ras at 60 minutes. The platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA) mRNA level was expressed strongly in the odontoblast like dental pulp cells without an association with LPS stimulation. Scanning electron microscopy revealed many extensions of the cytoplasmic processes and the number of processes increased gradually at 30, 60 and 90 minutes after LPS stimulation. From these results VEGF and bFGF expression might be induced through the Grb2-Ras signal transduction pathway in LPS treated odontoblasts.
