Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a method for preparing dental pulp stem cells and their application. Background Technology
[0002] Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were first discovered in 2000. Gronthos et al. found DPSCs in both deciduous teeth and wisdom teeth. These cells possess high proliferative capacity, strong self-renewal ability, and multi-lineage differentiation capacity. Studies have successfully utilized these cells to construct dental pulp, dentin, and tooth tissue. DPSCs share many biological characteristics with stem cells from other tissues. Gronthos et al. studied the clonogenic rate of DPSCs and compared them with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), finding that the clonogenic rate of tooth-derived DPSCs was significantly higher than that of bone marrow-derived BMSCs. This indicates that DPSCs have higher proliferative and self-renewal capacity than BMSCs. The strong proliferative capacity, high tissue compatibility, and ease of storage of DPSCs offer modern humans a second opportunity to store stem cells.
[0003] Currently, common methods for preparing dental pulp stem cells include enzymatic digestion, tissue block culture, and tissue block enzymatic digestion. While all these methods can yield dental pulp stem cells, the diverse range of bacteria in the oral cavity makes them highly susceptible to contamination during preparation and culture. Furthermore, the number of isolated and extracted dental pulp stem cells is relatively small, and cell growth is slow, making the preparation of dental pulp stem cells difficult. This is currently the biggest challenge in storing dental pulp stem cells. Therefore, antibiotics are usually added during the preparation of dental pulp stem cells to inhibit bacterial growth. Commonly used antibiotics in stem cell culture include: penicillin and streptomycin for inhibiting bacteria; amphotericin B and nystatin for inhibiting fungi; and gentamicin, tetracycline, and erythromycin for inhibiting mycoplasma contamination. However, the use of these antibiotics cannot guarantee that dental pulp stem cells will not be contaminated. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a method for preparing dental pulp stem cells and its application. The preparation method is simple, low-cost, and easy to industrialize. The culture cycle is short, and the dental pulp stem cells obtained from the culture have strong viability and good differentiation, and can differentiate into osteoblasts, laying the foundation for the preparation of drugs for treating tooth defects and tooth loss.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: This invention provides a method for preparing dental pulp stem cells. The method involves adding α-MEM basal culture medium containing a complexing agent, growth factor, and natural antibacterial agent to a surface-treated glass culture dish, adding cleaned and minced fresh human dental pulp tissue, and culturing at a constant temperature. After the primary cells emerge, the liquid is poured off, and the primary cells are collected. A portion is resuspended in a cell cryopreservation solution and cryopreserved.

In step S3, the mass ratio of DMEM culture medium, mannose, DMSO, glutathione and bovine serum albumin is 70-90:5-10:20-30:2-3:1-3.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the content of nano-activating particles in the culture medium containing nano-activating particles in step S5 is 5-10 wt%, and the preparation method of the nano-activating particles is as follows: T1. Add block black phosphorus to N-methylpyrrolidone, sonicate in an ice bath in the dark, centrifuge, wash, dry, add the product to Tris-HCl solution, add dopamine hydrochloride, heat and stir to react, centrifuge, wash, dry, and obtain modified black phosphorus nanosheets.

[0014] This invention further protects the application of dental pulp stem cells prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method in the preparation of drugs for treating tooth defects and tooth loss.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention employs alkaline treatment of the inner surface of glass culture dishes. The alkali reacts with the silica in the glass, roughening the inner surface and generating numerous active groups. A polydopamine layer then forms on the surface, enabling the adhesion of nano-hydroxyapatite. This process exhibits excellent biological activity, promoting the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells. Furthermore, it couples with collagen peptides, providing a growth environment close to that in vivo, further enhancing cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. This surface-treated glass culture dish enhances cell adhesion, significantly shortens the time required for primary cells to migrate out, reduces costs, and facilitates industrial application.
[0016] This invention adds a complexing agent, growth factors, and a natural antibacterial agent to the α-MEM basal culture medium in the primary culture medium. The complexing agent disrupts intercellular calcium adhesion, and combined with mechanical vibration to separate cells, making it suitable for enzyme-sensitive dental pulp tissue samples. The added growth factors include sodium heparin and transforming growth factor-β. Sodium heparin can bind to transforming growth factor-β, enhancing its stability and preventing degradation. It also promotes the binding of transforming growth factor-β to its receptor, enhancing signal transduction. Sodium heparin can also interact with proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix, altering the structure and properties of the extracellular matrix and providing a more favorable microenvironment for stem cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation, thereby influencing stem cell growth and differentiation. Sodium heparin has anticoagulant properties, preventing blood clotting and improving blood supply to tissues and cells, thus indirectly providing better nutrition and oxygen supply for stem cell growth, promoting stem cell growth and survival. Transforming growth factor-β promotes the growth and proliferation of dental pulp stem cells through signaling pathway activation, gene expression regulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.
[0017] The added natural antibacterial agents include ferulic acid and allicin. The lipid-soluble structure of ferulic acid can insert into the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell membrane, altering membrane fluidity and permeability, leading to changes in intracellular electrolytes (such as potassium). + Allicin, through its lipid-soluble sulfur groups, can insert into the bacterial cell membrane, increasing membrane permeability and inhibiting the function of membrane proteins (such as transport proteins), leading to leakage of intracellular substances. It also disrupts the biofilms of drug-resistant bacteria by degrading extracellular polysaccharides in the biofilm matrix, preventing bacterial adhesion and colonization. The synergistic effect of allicin inhibits bacterial contamination and promotes osteogenic differentiation by activating the Wnt / β-catenin pathway.
[0018] The cell cryopreservation solution of this invention contains mannose, DMSO, glutathione, and bovine serum albumin. DMSO penetrates into the cells, lowering the intracellular freezing point and reducing ice crystal formation; it also regulates the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cells, preventing cell dehydration or swelling. Mannose creates a high osmotic pressure environment outside the cells, reducing water leaching and indirectly inhibiting ice crystal growth. Bovine serum albumin coats the cell surface, reducing mechanical damage during cryopreservation, providing nutrients, and maintaining cell viability. Glutathione reduces oxidative stress damage during cryopreservation and thawing, maintaining cell metabolic function. DMEM medium provides electrolytes, a buffer system, and basic nutrients, maintaining stable cell osmotic pressure and pH.
[0019] This invention incorporates nano-activating particles into the culture medium during subculture. The core is polydopamine-modified black phosphorus nanosheets. These black phosphorus nanosheets have a large specific surface area and extremely strong surface adsorption capacity. The lone pairs of electrons in phosphorus combine with the empty orbitals of heavy metals, giving the black phosphorus nanosheets a strong chelating ability for heavy metal ions. This allows for the rapid adsorption of large quantities of heavy metal ions and the removal of reactive oxygen species, thereby improving stem cell viability and promoting proliferation. The surface is loaded with MoS2 quantum dots. Due to the presence of polydopamine, the quantum dots are doped with nitrogen, enabling them to form heterojunctions with black phosphorus. Utilizing the photothermal conversion of black phosphorus and the photodynamic effect of MoS2 quantum dots, under light irradiation... Simultaneously generating heat and singlet oxygen promotes stem cell migration and angiogenesis. Nitrogen doping reduces the band gap of black phosphorus, improving photodynamic effects by regulating electronic structure and enhancing interfacial coupling, thus promoting stem cell growth and survival. In addition, the surface is deposited with magnetic iron oxide, making the nano-activating particles not only magnetic and separable, easy to recycle and reuse, but also able to generate trace amounts of heat energy under the action of a magnetic field. This can activate heat-sensitive proteins on the mitochondrial membrane, promote oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, reduce lactate production, maintain a low-acid microenvironment, which is conducive to stem cell self-renewal. The trace amounts of heat energy promote the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases by stem cells, providing a more suitable microenvironment for cell migration and differentiation.
[0020] The method for preparing dental pulp stem cells in this invention is simple, low-cost, and easy to industrialize. It has a short culture cycle, and the dental pulp stem cells obtained from the culture have strong viability and good differentiation, and can differentiate into osteoblasts, laying the foundation for the preparation of drugs to treat tooth defects and tooth loss.

The cell density was adjusted to 1×10⁻⁶. 5 Add 2 mL / well to each well of a 6-well plate. When the cells reach 80% confluence, discard the culture medium and replace it with osteogenic induction medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin, 100 μg / mL streptomycin, 50 μg / mL gentamicin, 50 μg / mL L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 10 nmol / L dexamethasone, and 10 mmol / L β-glycerophosphate). Induce continuously, changing the induction medium every 3 days. Stop induction on day 28, collect cells, lyse them to extract proteins, and measure alkaline phosphatase. Measure osteocalcin using the culture medium (using a commercially available kit, with 5 samples per group and the average value).
