Osteolectin Promotes Odontoblastic Differentiation in Human Dental Pulp Cells

Osteolectin is a secreted glycoprotein of the C-type lectin domain superfamily expressed in bone tissues and is reported as a novel osteogenic factor that promotes bone regeneration. However, the effect of osteolectin on human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) has not been reported. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the odontoblastic differentiation of osteolectin in hDPCs and further attempt to reveal its underlying mechanism.
