    DPSCs produce higher levels of BDNF than BM-MSCs. BDNF in supernatants ( A ) and cell lysate ( B ) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 48 h of treatment. For each experiment/ condition, the BDNF quantity was normalized to cell viability. Stimulation with C5aR-agonist or co-stimulation with LPS significantly increased the BDNF secretion in supernatants of DPSCs compared to BM-MSCs. BDNF secretion in the cell lysate of DPSCs was also significantly higher than BM-MSCs cell lysate. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 versus untreated control of resting cells (n = 3).

    Effect of exogenous C5a on DSPP and DMP-1 expression and PCR analysis of DPSC-derived odontoblast-like cells. a – f Immunofluorescence double staining was used to analyze DSPP and DMP-1 expression in exogenous C5a-mediated DPSCs at day 10. Anti-DSPP (red) and DMP-1 (green) were found weakly co-localized in the cytoplasm of DPSCs in C5a-treated cells without any significant difference compared with resting control. Scale bar: 25 μm. g , h Real-time PCR analysis of DSPP and DMP-1 in the C5aR agonist, C5aR antagonist, and C5a recombinant protein treatment groups compared to control (calculated ‘1’ value of respective genes expression). The analysis reveals a significant upregulation of DSPP and DMP-1 mRNA expression in the C5aR agonist treatment group. Treatment of DPSCs using the recombinant human C5a protein does not affect the basal level of DSPP expression. i C5aR mRNA expression between resting cells and C5aR-agonist or antagonist-treated cells.
