Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most common plant hormone of the auxin class and is known to have many effects including cell proliferation enhancement and antioxidant property. However, no study has revealed its defensive effects against oxidative toxicity in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). In this study, we investigated the effects of IAA on hydrogen peroxide- (H2O2-) induced oxidative toxicity in hDPSCs. H2O2-induced cytotoxicity was attenuated after IAA treatment. Cell cycle analysis using FACS showed that the damaged cell cycle and increased number of apoptotic cells by H2O2 treatment were recovered after the treatment of IAA. The H2O2-mediated increased expression of the proapoptotic genes, BAX and p53, was attenuated by IAA treatment, while IAA treatment increased antiapoptotic genes, BCL-2 and ATF5 expression. The increases of cleaved caspase-3 and ROS by H2O2 were also decreased after treatment of IAA. To further investigate the mechanism of IAA, Nrf2-related antioxidant pathway was examined and the results showed that the level of Nrf2 and HO-1 expressions, stimulated by H2O2, decreased after treatment of IAA. Moreover, IAA treatment protected hDPSCs against H2O2-induced oxidative stress via increased expression of Nrf2 and HO-1, mediated by the AKT pathway.

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a potent precursor of glycative stress (abnormal accumulation of advanced glycation end products, AGEs), a relevant condition underpinning the etiology of several diseases, including those of the oral cave. At present, synthetic agents able to trap MG are known; however, they have never been approved for clinical use because of their severe side effects. Hence, the search of bioactive natural scavengers remains a sector of strong research interest. Here, we investigated whether and how oleuropein (OP), the major bioactive component of olive leaf, was able to prevent MG-dependent glycative stress in human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). The cells were exposed to OP at 50 µM for 24 h prior to the administration of MG at 300 µM for additional 24 h. We found that OP prevented MG-induced glycative stress and DPSCs impairment by restoring the activity of Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1), the major detoxifying enzyme of MG, in a mechanism involving the redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2. Our results suggest that OP holds great promise for the development of preventive strategies for MG-derived AGEs-associated oral diseases and open new paths in research concerning additional studies on the protective potential of this secoiridoid.
