Background/purpose: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used as an irrigant in regenerative endodontic treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of EDTA on stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) .

Materials And Methods: Human SCAPs were isolated and characterised. The cells were treated with media supplemented with EDTA at concentrations ranging from 1.25% to 17%. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined using MTT assay and annexin V/propidium iodide staining. Cell migration was determined by a scratch assay. Gene expression was evaluated using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Mineral deposition, a hallmark of osteogenesis , was determined using alizarin red s staining.

Results: Overall, SCAPs exhibited mesenchymal stem cell characteristics. EDTA treatment at 2.50% and 1.25% did not significantly exhibit cytotoxicity and alter cell morphology. However, EDTA attenuated cell proliferation and reduced 7 mRNA expression in SCAPs. Further, EDTA significantly induced early cell apoptosis at 48 h. Cell migration was delayed with EDTA treatment. After maintaining SCAPs in an osteogenic induction medium, EDTA diminished mineral deposition by SCAPs on day 14.

Conclusion: EDTA treatment exhibits adverse effects on SCAPs . Hence, EDTA exposure to periapical tissues should be avoided to minimise the negative impacts on SCAPs cells in regenerative processes.

Increasing aquaculture production requires high-density farming, which induces stress, necessitating supplements to mitigate its effects and ensure fish health. The aim of this study was to examine how CaNa2EDTA (EDTA) affects the growth, immune response and antioxidant activity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The fish were raised at three different stocking densities: low (LD = 2.

Background: Mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel plays a key role in pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the role of Piezo2 in PH remains unclear.

Methods: Endothelial cell (EC)-specific knockout (, Tek-Cre; ) rats and primarily cultured pulmonary microvascular ECs were used to determine the role of Piezo2 in PH.

Mobocertinib is a potent selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with activating EGFR exon 20 insertions. The aim of this study was to develop a procedure for liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of mobocertinib and its metabolite desmethyl-mobocertinib in human plasma. The human plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile and analyzed using a Waters ACQUITY BEH C column coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Article Synopsis
  • RamA is a crucial regulator in bacteria, enhancing resistance to tetracycline-class antibiotics by activating the operon responsible for multidrug resistance.
  • The deletion of RamA leads to significantly reduced transcription levels of this operon, while restoring RamA reinstates normal function.
  • The study highlights RamA's role in bacterial membrane stability and suggests potential pathways for developing new antimicrobial treatments against resistant strains.
