Abstract: Objective: To investigate the biological regulatory function of Gremlin1 (GREM1) and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein eta (YWHAH) in dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), and determine the underlying molecular mechanism involved. Methods: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, scratch migration assays and in vitro and in vivo osteo-/dentinogenic marker detection of bone-like tissue generation in nude mice were used to assess osteo-/dentinogenic differentiation. Coimmunoprecipitation and polypeptide microarray assays were employed to detect the molecular mechanisms involved. Results: The data revealed that knockdown of GREM1 promoted ALP activity, mineralisation in vitro and the expression of osteo-/dentinogenic differentiation markers and enhanced osteo-/ dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vivo. GREM1 bound to YWHAH in DPSCs, and the binding site was also identified. Knockdown of YWHAH suppressed the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vitro, and overexpression of YWHAH promoted the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: Taken together, the findings highlight the critical roles of GREM1-YWHAH in the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
