Abstract
Background: Although Tideglusib cytotoxicity studies and its effects on human
dental pulp‑derived stem cells (DPSCs) have been examined in previous studies,
there is no study investigating the expression of type 1 collagen and type 3
collagen by Tideglusib. Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of
Wnt signaling activation using Tideglusib execution on human DPSC to determine
its potential efficacy in collagen expression. Methods: Stem cell isolation was
performed from five human third molar wisdom tooth pulps. DPSCs identified in
only one sample were treated with 50 nM Tideglusib for 24 h and 1 week. Axin‑2,
type 1 and type 3 collagen expressions were evaluated by Western blot analysis.
DPSCs without treatment served as a negative control. The Mann‑Whitney
U test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The levels of type 1 collagen
and Axin‑2 in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control
group at 24 h (P = 0.000, P = 0.001, respectively). Compared to the control
group, a slight increase in type 3 collagen expression was observed in the test
group at 24 h (P value = 0.063). Application of 50 nM Tideglusib for 1 week
revealed marked decreases in type 1 and type 3 collagen expressions (P = 0.029,
P = 0.038, respectively). In contrast, there was a significant increase in the level
of Axin‑2 (P = 0.000) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The fact that
Wnt signaling pathway activation obtained by Tideglusib application on DPSCs
confirmed by the finding in the increase of Axin‑2 at short and long‑term evaluation
periods which is resulted in the increase in the type 1 collagen expression at 24 h
and decrease at 1 week together with the decrease in type 3 collagen expression at
1 week warrants further studies to evaluate the effect of Tideglusib on extracellular
matrix expression.
