Proteome differences of dental stem cells between permanent and deciduous teeth by data-independent acquisition proteomics.

ABSTRACT: Dental pulp stem cells hold significant prospects for tooth regeneration and repair. However, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular differences between dental pulp stem cells (DPSC, from permanent teeth) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED, from deciduous teeth) remains elusive, which is crucial for optimizing their therapeutic potential. To address this gap, we employed a novel data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of DPSC and SHED. Based on nano-LC-MS/MS DIA proteomics, we identified over 7,000 proteins in both cell types. By comparing their expression levels, 209 differentially expressed proteins were identified.
