Evaluation of the effects of transient or continuous PTH administration to odontoblast-like cells
Abstract: Parathyroid hormone participates in the metabolism of mineralized tissue. Its role in the formation of dentine is, as yet, incompletely understood. In the present study we analyzed the effect of transient (1 and 24-h/cycle) or continuous hPTH (1–34) treatment in odontoblast-like cells (MDPC-23) to the following parameters: mineral deposition detected by alizarin red, mRNA expression of the type I collagen (COL1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), biglycan (BGN), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) quantified by qRT-PCR. MMP-2 and ALP activities were quantified by zymography and colorimetric assay, respectively. The results showed that compared to Control group: intermittent PTH administration (1 and 24-h/cycle) decreased the mineral deposition an…
