[Effect of DKK1 on the biological behaviors of dental pulp cells exposed to lipopolysaccharide].
Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue
August 2021
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how DKK1 affects the behavior of human dental pulp cells when exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), focusing on cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
- DKK1 was found to enhance the migration and differentiation of these cells, while it did not significantly impact their proliferation in the presence of LPS.
- The findings suggest that the effects of DKK1 may be linked to its inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

In dental tissue, versican expression occurs primarily in mesenchymal tissue but rarely in epithelial tissue. We investigated the expression, localisation and synthesis of versican in the enamel organ of the developing tooth germ.
