Objective: This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of betamethasone on LPS-stimulated human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and its associated mechanism. The osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and osteoclast effect of betamethasone on DPSCs and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were evaluated.Design: The proliferative effect of betamethasone on DPSCs was analyzed using a cholecystokinin octapeptide assay. The anti-inflammatory effect of betamethasone was investigated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and ELISA. The anti-inflammatory mechanism was explored using qPCR, Western blot, and immunofitiorescence staining. The osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and osteoclast effect of betamethasone on DPSCs and SHED were detected by qPCR.Results: 1 mu g L-1 betamethasone was found to have the strongest effect on DPSCs proliferation. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, as well as prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) were significantly decreased following treatment with betamethasone in LPS-stimulated DPSCs. They were also decreased in response to an NF-kappa B inhibitor, Bay 11-7082. Betamethasone and Bay 11-7082 significantly inhibited the expression of p-p65 and promoted the nuclear exclusion of p65. Gene expression associated with osteo-/odontogenic differentiation was significantly up-regulated in betamethasone and osteogenic media (OM) treated groups. The ratio of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) at the mRNA level was suppressed in DPSCs and elevated in SHED.Conclusions: Betamethasone has an anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-stimulated DPSCs through a blockade of NF-kappa B activation and exhibits an osteo-/odonto-inductive effect an DPSCs and SHED. Although betamethasone displays an osteoclast effect on SHED.
