Effects of Aspirin on Odontogenesis of Human Dental Pulp Cells and TGF-β1 Liberation from Dentin In Vitro
Figure 3
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment showed no cytotoxic effect on human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). (a, b) Crystal violet staining solubilized by triton X-100 showed significantly higher attachment efficiency of HDPCs-treated with 50 mg/mL ASA than the control at 16h. A significant increase in the proliferation rate was observed in HDPCs treated with low concentrations of ASA (25–50 mg/mL). (c) MTT assay indicated that ASA-treated HDPCs expressed an elevation of mitochondria activity over time, and HDPCs treated with 25 mg/mL ASA showed a significantly higher mitochondria activity at 72h compared to the control. n = 6 in each group. . . Values are presented as mean ± SD.
