Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of ipriflavone (IP) on proliferation and mineralization of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Methods: The hDPSCs were cultured in complete culture medium containing IP (10-9-10-5 mol/L) and identified. The cell activity at different time points (1, 2, 3 d) was detected by CCK-8. After induced for 7 days with mineralization liquid containing IP (10-8-10-5 mol/L), the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, and RT-qPCR were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Results: CCK-8 detection showed that 10-9-10-5 mol/L IP could promote the proliferation of hDPSCs,and 10-6 mol/L IP had the best results (P<0.05). In 10-6 mol/L IP group, the ALP staining was deepened, the activity was increased (P<0.05), and the mineralization nodules were increased. RT-qPCR showed that the contents of Runt-related transcription factor, ALP, and osteocalcin in the 10-6 mol/L IP group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion: 10-6 mol/L IP can promote the proliferation and mineralization of hDPSCs.
