| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have previously reported that elevated extracellular Ca2+ increased bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) expression in human dental pulp (hDP) cells. In the present study, we examined the effect of extracellular Ca2+ on FGF-2 gene expression in immortalized mouse dental papilla cells (mDP). Extracellular Ca2+ increased FGF-2 gene expression in mDP. Gene expression of calcium-sensing receptor and G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A, both of which are known to be sensors for extracellular Ca2+, was not detected in mDP. Ca2+-mediated Fgf-2 gene expression was reduced by pretreatment with H-89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, or PD98059, an ERK1/2 inhibitor, but not by pretreatment with GF-109203X, a PKC inhibitor, or SB203580, a p38 inhibitor. These findings indicate that elevated extracellular Ca2+ increased Fgf-2 gene expression through PKA and ERK1/2 in mDP cells, and that this mechanism may assist in designing regenerative therapies for dentin.
