Abstract
The extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) and p38 mitogen‑activated protein‑kinase pathways serve important roles in the regulation of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the exact mechanism remains unclear, and the effect is controversial. In the present study, the effects of Erk1/2 and p38 on the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were compared in vitro. The results indicated that inhibition of Erk1/2 is able to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and inhibit chondrogenic differentiation, whereas inhibition of p38 demonstrated the opposite effect. When compared with previous studies, the present study further confirmed that Erk1/2 and p38 serve important, but complicated, roles in regulating the differentiation of MSCs. Different chemical and physical stimuli, cell types, culture methods, times of inhibitor administration and the dosage of the inhibitor may influence the effect of Erk1/2 and p38 on the differentiation of MSCs. The present study aims to better understand the mechanisms that control the differentiation of MSCs and may be helpful in creating more effective tissue regeneration.
