摘要: 目的 探究载脂蛋白D(apoliprotein D,APOD)激活果蝇无翅基因蛋白/β-连锁蛋白(Wnt/β-catenin)信号通路参与牙髓细胞(dental pulp cells,DPCs)增殖分化过程。
方法 体外培养人牙髓细胞(human dental pulp cells,HDPCs),设置空白组、APOD低剂量组、APOD高剂量组和si-APOD组。空白组于DMEM培养基培养,APOD低剂量组向培养基中加入2 nmol/L APOD,APOD高剂量组向培养基中加入32nmol/LAPOD,si-APOD组采用APOD si-RNA转染HDPCs细胞。采用RT-qPCR检测APOD mRNA表达水平,CCK-8检测细胞增殖能力,碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,ALP)活性检测成骨分化能力,Western Blot检测Wnt/β-catenin通路蛋白表达量。
结果 与空白组比较,APOD低剂量组、APOD高剂量组APOD mRNA水平及细胞活力升高,7、14 d的ALP 活性升高,Wnt5a、β-catenin蛋白上调(P<0.05),si-APOD组APOD mRNA水平,细胞活力降低,7、14 d的ALP 活性降低,Wnt5a、β-catenin蛋白下调(P<0.05);与APOD低剂量组比较,APOD高剂量组APOD mRNA水平及细胞活力升高,7、14 d的ALP 活性升高,Wnt5a、β-catenin蛋白上调(P<0.05),si-APOD组APOD mRNA水平及细胞活力降低,7、14 d的ALP 活性降低,Wnt5a、β-catenin蛋白下调(P<0.05);与APOD高剂量组比较,si-APOD组APOD mRNA水平及细胞活力降低,7、14 d的ALP 活性降低,Wnt5a、β-catenin蛋白下调(P<0.05)。
结论 APOD能够促进HDPCs细胞的增殖分化,其作用机制可能与激活 Wnt/β-catenin信号通路有关。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the involvement of apolipoprotein D (APOD) in the proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp cells (DPCs) by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in Drosophila melanogaster. 
Methods Human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) were cultured in vitro and divided into blank group, low-dose APOD group, high-dose APOD group and si-APOD group. Cells in the blank group were cultured in DMEM medium without any treatment. APOD 2 nmol/L and 32 nmol/L were added to the low-dose APOD group and high-dose APOD group, respectively. HDPCs cells in the si-APOD group were transfected with APOD si-RNA. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of APOD mRNA, and CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was used to detect osteogenic differentiation, and Western Blot was used to detect Wnt/β-catenin pathway protein expression. 
Results Compared with blank group, APOD mRNA level and cell viability were increased, ALP activity was increased at 7 d and 14 d, and Wnt5a and β-catenin proteins were up-regulated in low- and high-dose APOD groups (P<0.05). In si-APOD group, APOD mRNA level and cell viability were decreased, ALP activity at 7 d and 14 d was decreased, and Wnt5a and β-catenin proteins were down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the low-dose APOD group, the APOD mRNA level and cell viability were increased, the ALP activity was increased at 7 d and 14 d, and the Wnt5a and β-catenin proteins were up-regulated in the high-dose group (P<0.05). In si-APOD group, APOD mRNA level and cell viability were decreased, ALP activity at 7 d and 14 d was decreased, and Wnt5a and β-catenin protein were down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose APOD group, the mRNA level and cell viability of APOD were significantly decreased, the activity of ALP at 7 d and 14 d was decreased, and the proteins of Wnt5a and β-catenin were down-regulated in si-APOD group (P<0.05). 
Conclusion APOD can promote the proliferation and differentiation of HDPCs cells, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
