Culture medium modulates the behaviour of human dental pulp-derived cells: Technical Note

Abstract: In vitro approaches have extensively been developed to study reparative dentinogenesis. While dental pulp is a source of unidentified progenitors able to differentiate into odontoblast-like cells, we investigated the effect of two media; MEM (1.8mM Ca and 1mM Pi) and RPMI 1640 (0.8mM Ca and 5mM Pi) on the behaviour of human dental pulp cells. Our data indicate that MEM significantly increased cell proliferation and markedly enhanced the proportion of α-smooth muscle actin positive cells, which represent a puta… Show more

“…Interestingly, the pre-incubation with valproic acid induced morphological and growth changes in DPSCs resulting in retraction and spontaneous formation of multilayered nodules. Such cell dynamic process was not observed without pre-treatment nevertheless similar growing pattern was previously reported for DPSCs cultured under high-serum conditions (14) or cultures of perivascular pericytes (19). In addition bFGF, which is known for its effect potentiating osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells (16,18), seems to have synergic effect with valproic acid on osteodifferentiation.…”

“…This current study demonstrated that the most appropriate culture media are α-MEM and DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS based on in vivo doubling time of epithelial cells within 5 days [30]. This result disagrees with the results reported by Whitehead (1:1) culture media compared with colon epithelial cells cultivated in α-MEM and DMEM culture media [46].…”

“…MEM is the most commonly used medium among others in cellular culture and is considered to have a low concentration of phosphate (1mM) and glucose (1g/L) and high calcium concentration (1.8mM) (Lopez-Cazaux et al 2006). Low glucose DMEM is unique among other media due to the elevated amino acid and vitamins concentrations, which are four times higher than MEM, while possessing the same levels of glucose, calcium and phosphate.…”
