Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) is the most extensively studied growth factor in dentin-pulp complex, with pleiotropic effects on pulp response and healing. Our main objective was to analyze the expression profile of pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and the effects of TGF-beta1 on these profiles in cultured human pulp and odontoblasts with a specific interest in the anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines. For that purpose, pulps and odontoblasts were cultured for different time periods, and microarray was performed to both cultured and native samples. Of cytokines, various interleukins (IL) were confirmed by RT-PCR, and in +/- TGF-beta1 treated pulps also by antibody array. Pro-inflammatory IL-7, -12alpha and -16 mRNAs were detected in native pulp. The expression levels of pro-inflammatory IL-1alpha, -1beta, -6 and -8 were clearly induced after TGF-beta1 treatment, while no anti-inflammatory cytokines were induced. Of all pulpal interleukins analyzed IL-6 and -8 were present at the highest levels in conditioned pulp tissue media. In native odontoblasts pro-inflammatory IL-6 and -7 mRNAs were detected, and in cultured odontoblasts pro-inflammatory IL-8 mRNA showed over 20-fold transient induction after TGF-beta1 treatment. Our results demonstrate that TGF-beta1 is a potent regulator of pro-inflammatory responses and defensive reactions in dentin-pulp complex.
