Research Abstract |
It is one of the big aims of dentistry to reproduce a tooth substance (dentin)which is lost in caries. Growth factor BMP-2 regulates odontoblastic differentiation to make dentin. I clarified that the expression of BMP-2 gene was enhanced in human pulp cells upon stimulation with not only 10 mM calcium ion but also 3 mM inorganic phosphate via ERK/MAPK signaling pathway. This finding suggested possibility to be connected for a cure to enhance expression of BMP-2 in dentistry in future.
