LPS is a pro-inflammatory molecule that may influence the homeostasis of oral pulp tissues. It may affect the inflammatory response in the pulp, which in turn may hamper the recovery of the pulp-dentin complex. Apoptosis and oxidative stress are possible consequences of this situation. Therefore, LPS has important clinical implications.
LPS has shown potential to influence human dental pulp stem cell migration, adhesion, and regenerative responses. LPS has a pleiotropic effect, meaning it regulates the inflammatory responses of multiple immune cells, including T helper (Th)2 cells and regulatory T cells. The inflammatory process is triggered by the presence of LPS in caries lesions. The effect of LPS on the oral pulp tissue can vary according to the type of pulp cell, the presence of a bacterial infection, and the duration of the exposure.
LPS has been found to stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and cytokine production. It has also been shown to interfere with the odontoblast-like cell differentiation of DPSCs. Moreover, LPS has been shown to interfere with redox balance in primary HPCs, which are key for HPC functions. The inhibition of the innate immune response in HPCs may decrease the defense capacity against bacteria.
