To explore the cellular behavior of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in response to inorganic pyrophosphate (PP SHED cells were isolated from the dental pulp tissues of human primary exfoliated teeth. Cell proliferation was examined using the MTT assay, colony-forming unit assay, and cell cycle analysis. Cell migration was evaluated using the scratch assay. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by the expression of osteogenic marker genes and in vitro mineral deposition. Oil Red O staining was employed to determine intracellular lipid accumulation under adipogenic differentiation. For osteoclast differentiation, TRAP staining was used. The global gene expression profile was examined by RNA sequencing analysis. PP PP Show less
