Resumo
Luxações dentárias resultam em injúrias ao feixe vásculo-nervoso, o que pode causar redução significante no nível de oxigênio das polpas dentárias, ou mesmo morte deste tecido conjuntivo especializado. O conhecimento dos mecanismos envolvidos na resposta das células pulpares à hipóxia pode melhorar o prognóstico dos tratamentos das luxações dentárias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento de células-tronco (DPSC) e de fibroblastos (HDPF) de polpas dentárias humanas em condições de hipóxia e a capacidade destas em estimular a proliferação e formação de tubos capilares por células endoteliais microvasculares dérmicas humanas (HDMEC). As análises do western blot e imunocitoquímica foram realizadas para avaliar o efeito da hipóxia na ativação do fator de transcrição induzido pela hipóxia 1 (HIF-1alfa). A expressão dos fatores de crescimento vascular endotelial (VEGF) e fibroblástico básico (bFGF) foi avaliada pelos testes de imunoensaio ELISA. O efeito do HIF-1alfa na expressão do VEGF foi avaliado pelo tratamento das células DPSC e HDPF com 40 μM YC-1, inibidor do HIF-1alfa. Para a avaliação da angiogênese in vitro, os testes de proliferação celular (WST-1) e de formação de tubos capilares em gel de colágeno foram realizados após tratamento das células HDMEC com os meios de acondicionamento das células DPSC ou HDPF, em condições de normóxia ou hipóxia.. A análise dos dados obtidos foi realizada por testes estatísticos não-paramétricos com nível de significância de 5%. Aumento da atividade do HIF-1alfa e da expressão de VEGF foram observados nas células DPSC e HDPF em condições de hipóxia. Entretanto, não foram observadas alterações nos níveis de expressão de bFGF. A expressão do HIF-1alfa foi inibida...
Dental luxations can result in the severing of the dental pulp and the creation of a hypoxic environment that might lead to the death of the pulp tissue. Improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying the response of dental pulp cells to hypoxic conditions might lead to better treatment of dental luxations. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the behavior of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) and Human Dental Pulp Fibroblasts (HDPF) under hypoxia and their ability to stimulate proliferation and sprouting of endothelial cells. Western blots and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the effect of hypoxia on the activation of the transcriptional factor HIF-1α. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Basic Fibroblastic Growth Factor (bFGF) expression was evaluated by ELISA. The effect of HIF-1αon VEGF expression was evaluated by treating DPSC or HDPF with 40 μM YC-1, an inhibitor of HIF-1α. To evaluate the angiogenic potential of dental pulp cells in vitro, human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMEC) were treated with conditioned medium from DPSC or HDPF in normoxia or hypoxia. Sprouting and WST-1 assays were used to evaluate capillaries tubes-like formation and cell proliferation rate,respectively. The statistic analysis was performed by non-parametric tests. HIF-1αactivity and VEGF expression were up-regulated in DPSC and HDPF under hypoxic conditions. However, no changes in the expression levels of bFGF were observed. YC-1 40μM was able to inhibit HIF-1alpha in both cell lines and it also reduced VEGF expression in DPSCs in hypoxia. HDPF under hypoxia increased HDMEC sprouting by 50% when compared to HDPF in normoxia, and by 30% when compared to DPSC in hypoxia. Notably, HDPF under hypoxia stimulated HDMEC proliferation by 30% when compared to DPSC in hypoxia. It was concluded... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
