Abstract:
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are stem cells present in the dental pulp and have same renewal and differentiating properties as bone marrow cells. Hence, DPSCs can be used for future regenerative therapies of various diseases. Previous studies show that DPSCs would lose their differentiation capability during long-term passage when they were cultured in medium promoting differentiation. Researchers have been working to explore the key genes that influence their differentiation capability. However, the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells is accompanied by a complex biological process involving multiple genes and multi-element interactions. In this study, we used the weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) to obtain gene network modules based on a gene microarray data set from a DPSCs experiment, which is available at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) public database. We identified two modules (yellow module and salmon module) significantly associated with DPSC passage.
