摘要:Maxillofacial bone defect is one of the common symptoms in maxillofacial, which affects the function and aesthetics of maxillofacial region. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are extensively used in bone tissue engineering. The mechanism that regulates the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs remains not fully elucidated. Previous studies demonstrated that l-Caldesmon (l-CALD, or CALD1) might be involved in the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Here, the mechanism by which CALD1 regulates the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs is investigated. The osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs is enhanced with Cald1 knockdown. Whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis shows that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) signaling pathway and Wingless type (Wnt) pathway have significant change with Cald1 knockdown, and the expressions of Wntinduced secreted protein 1 (WISP1), BMP2, Smad1/5/9, and p-Smad1/5/9 are significantly upregulated, while Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3 beta) and p-GSK3 beta are downregulated. In addition, subcutaneous implantation in nude mice shows that knockdown of Cald1 enhances the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in vivo. Taken together, this study demonstrates that knockdown of Cald1 enhances the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by BMP and Wnt signaling pathways, and provides a novel approach for subsequent clinical treatment.
