| Abstract | Background Regulating the pluripotency of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) is key for the self-repair of injured dental pulp. We previously found that OCT4A promotes the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Recent studies have shown the interaction between OCT4A and lncRNAs in pluripotency maintenance of various stem cells. The aim of this study was to explore the underlying roles and mechanisms of OCT4A and its related lncRNAs in the proliferation and multidirectional differentiation of hDPSCs in an inflammatory microenvironment. Methods Human lncRNA microarrays were applied to screen out the differentially expressed lncRNAs in hDPSCs between the OCT4A-overexpressing and vector groups. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to simulate the inflammatory microenvironment. The effects of OCT4A and the lncRNA FTX on the proliferation and multidifferentiation of hDPSCs were observed by the CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, real-time PCR, western blotting, and Alizarin red and oil red O staining. Bioinformatics analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to clarify the targeted mechanism of OCT4A on FTX. The regulation by FTX of the expression of OCT4A and its downstream pluripotent transcription factors SOX2 and c-MYC was further detected by real-time PCR and western blotting. Results The microarray results showed that 978 lncRNAs (250 of which were upregulated and 728 downregulated) were potentially differentially expressed genes (fold change ≥ 2, P < 0.05). LPS stimulation attenuated the self-renewal of hDPSCs. OCT4A enhanced the cell proliferation and multidifferentiation capacities of hDPSCs in an inflammatory microenvironment, while FTX exhibited the opposite effects. OCT4A negatively regulated FTX function by binding to specific regions on the FTX promoter, thereby inhibiting the transcription of FTX. Moreover, overexpression of FTX downregulated the expression of OCT4A, SOX2 and c-MYC, whereas knockdown of FTX facilitated their expression. Conclusions OCT4A was found to be a crucial factor maintaining the self-renewal of hDPSCs by transcriptionally targeting FTX in an inflammatory microenvironment. Moreover, we proposed a novel function of FTX in negatively regulating the pluripotency and multilineage differentiation capacity of hDPSCs. The hierarchical organization between OCT4A and FTX expanded the understanding of the network between transcription factors and lncRNAs in fine-tuning the pluripotency/differentiation balance of adult stem cells, and provided prospective targets for optimizing dental-derived stem cell sources for regenerative endodontics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
