| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Growth/Differentiation Factor-5 (GDF-5) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein and promotes formation of bones and cartilages. It has been reported that GDF-5 gene is expressed in oral region. However, the roles of GDF-5 in the differentiation of dental pulp cells are unknown. Thus, we investigated the effect of GDF-5 on the differentiation of dental pulp stem cell.
GDF-5 promoted production of molecules characteristic for odontoblastic phenotype.And gene expression of VEGF increased in the presence of GDF-5. These findings suggested that GDF-5 promotes differentiation of dental pulp stem cell to odontblast.In addition, possibility to become the effective molecules in reproducing pulp tissue from dental pulp stem cell was suggested .
