Abstract (original English)
Background: Human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs) with multi-lineage differentiation potential and migration ability are required for HDPSC-based bone and dental regeneration. Hispidulin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with diverse pharmacological activities, but its effects on biological properties of HDPSCs remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of hispidulin on the differentiation potential and migration ability of HDPSCs and elucidated their underlying mechanisms. Methods: The osteo/odontogenic capacity of HDPSCs was assessed using the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining. The migration ability of HDPSCs was evaluated using a scratch wound assay. Furthermore, the endothelial differentiation of HDPSCs was examined by using a capillary sprouting assay and by assessing CD31 expression. Results: Hispidulin significantly enhanced the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of HDPSCs with increased expression of osteo/odontogenic differentiation markers. Hispidulin increased the migration of HDPSCs, which was mediated by the upregulation of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4). The treatment of HDPSCs with hispidulin enhanced the differentiation of HDPSCs into endothelial cells, as evidenced by increased capillary sprouting and endothelial marker expression. In addition, we demonstrated that hispidulin activated the ERK1/2 signaling, and it
