Abstract

Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating osteo/cementogenic differentiation is critical for optimizing cell-based strategies in periodontal regeneration. This study employed multivariate statistical modeling to investigate, in vitro, the interaction between bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and asporin (ASPN) in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and its impact on mineralization potential. Four primary hPDLSC populations-two with high osteo/cementogenic potential (HOP) and two with low potential (LOP)-were cultured under standard (SDM) and osteo/cementogenic (OM) conditions. Mineralization was assessed using Alizarin Red Staining (AR-S) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, while gene expression of ASPN, BMP2, osteocalcin (OCN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). BMP2 protein levels were measured using the Luminex system. Data analysis incorporated Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Pearson correlations, correlation networks, and multivariate regression models in RStudio. HOP cells exhibited higher mineralization and BMP2 expression compared to LOP cells (p < 0.05). ASPN negatively correlated with BMP2 expression and mineralization, particularly in LOP cells (p < 0.01), reinforcing its inhibitory role. Multivariate modeling identified BMP2 as a key positive regulator of osteo/cementogenesis, while ASPN emerged as a significant inhibitory factor (p < 0.001). This study highlights the potential of multivariate models as powerful tools for uncovering molecular interactions and identifying novel therapeutic targets, paving the way for advancements in periodontal regeneration and cell-based therapies.

骨形态发生蛋白2和阿霉素在人牙周韧带干细胞成骨/成水泥细胞分化潜能中的调节作用：一个多变量模型分析。

了解调节骨/骨水泥分化的分子机制对于优化牙周再生的细胞策略至关重要。本研究采用多元统计模型，在体外研究人牙周韧带干细胞（hPDLSCs）中骨形态发生蛋白2 （bone morphogenetic protein 2, BMP2）与ASPN的相互作用及其对矿化电位的影响。在标准（SDM）和成骨/骨水泥（OM）条件下培养4个初级hPDLSC群体，其中2个具有高成骨/骨水泥潜力（HOP）， 2个具有低成骨/骨水泥潜力（LOP）。采用茜素红染色（AR-S）和碱性磷酸酶（ALP）活性检测矿化程度，采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应（qRT-PCR）检测ASPN、BMP2、骨钙素（OCN）和矮子相关转录因子2 （RUNX2）的基因表达。使用Luminex系统测量BMP2蛋白水平。数据分析采用了RStudio中的主成分分析（PCA）、线性判别分析（LDA）、Pearson相关性、相关网络和多元回归模型。与LOP细胞相比，HOP细胞表现出更高的矿化和BMP2表达(p)。萨克拉门托，C.（2025）。补充信息：在线版本包含补充资料，可在10.1007/s10616-025-00810-x获得。
