| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed at the induction of iPS cells into odontoblastic differentiation in response to mechanical compression of the three-dimensional silicon membrane scaffold with dentinal tubule-like pores. The membrane was precoated with optimal method and materials to enhance iPS cell attachment. The optimal conditions, which were 19.6 kPa in compression magnitude, 4.0x10 5 cells/cm2 in cell density, and 9 hours of loading time, efficiently induced odontoblastic differentiation, showing significantly increased expression of odontoblast specific markers and enhanced elongation of cellular processes into the pore of membrane, a typical morphological feature of odontoblasts. In addition, up-regulation of BMP7 and Wnt10a and the involvement of the MAPK signaling pathway were observed. These results suggested the importance of three-dimensional physical structure of the scaffold in odontoblastic differentiation.
