Hsa_circ_0001599 promotes odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells by increasing ITGA2 expression and stability.

ABSTRACT: Dental pulp regeneration is significantly aided by human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial in the multidirectional differentiation of many mesenchymal stem cells, but their specific functions and mechanisms remain unknown. This work aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanism by which hsa_circ_0001599 works in hDPSCs during odontogenic differentiation. The expression of hsa_circ_0001599 in hDPSCs and dental pulp tissue was determined by using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT‒PCR). The role of hsa_circ_0001599 in the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs and its mechanism were studied using a variety of in vivo and in vitro assessments. The odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was facilitated by the
