PG - 365-369 AB - PURPOSE: To investigated the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) on cell biological behaviors by co-culture system in vitro. METHODS: hUCMSCs and hDPCs were obtained by primary culture. A culture system of hUCMSCs and hDPCs induced by BMP2 was established in vitro. hUCMSCs and hDPCs were co-cultured at the ratio of 1:1, 1:5 and 5:1. The optimum ratio of each group was selected to further experiment. The formation of calcium nodule was stained by alizarin red staining at 21 day. The expression of DSPP,ALP,DMP1,OCN,VEGF,HGF and Nanog gene was detected by real-time quantitative PCR at 7 day and 14 day. 1:1 group and hUCMSCs, hDPCs group were selected for alizarin red staining at 21 day according to PCR results. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 software package. RESULTS: Calcified nodules formation in 1:1 group was significantly higher than in hUCMSCs group (P<0.05), close to that in hDPCs. qPCR showed that the mRNA expression of DSPP, ALP, DMP1, OCN, VEGF and HGF in 1:1 group was significantly higher than that in hUCMSCs (P<0.05); mRNA expression of Nanog in 1:1 group was significantly lower than in hUCMSCs group (P<0.05). The results of alizarin red staining showed that the OD value of 1:1 group was significantly higher than that of hUCMSCs group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The cells can be induced to differentiate into odontoblastoid-like cells and the mRNA expression of angiogenic factors was stimulated by hUCMSCs co-culure wih hDPCs.
