Résumé

Several recent studies have focused on the utility of drug repurposing to expand clinical application of approved therapeutics. Here, we investigate the efficacy of midazolam (MDZ) and cytokines for regenerating calcified tissue, using immortalized porcine dental pulp (PPU7) and mouse skeletal muscle derived myoblast (C2C12) cells, with the goal of repurposing MDZ as a new treatment to facilitate calcified tissue regeneration. We noted that PPU7 and C2C12 cells cultured with various MDZ regimens displayed increased bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and alkaline phosphatase activity. These increases were highest in PPU7 cells cultured with MDZ alone, and in C2C12 cells cultured with MDZ and BMP-2. PPU7 cells cultured under these conditions demonstrated markedly elevated expression of odontoblastic gene markers, indicating their likely differentiation into odontoblasts. Expression levels of osteoblastic gene markers also increased in C2C12 cells, suggesting that MDZ potentiates the effect of BMP-2, inducing osteoblast differentiation in these cells. Newly formed calcified deposits in both PPU7 and C2C12 cells were identified as hydroxyapatite via crystallographic and crystal engineering analyses. MDZ increases ALP activity, inducing expression of specific marker genes for both odontoblasts and osteoblasts while promoting hydroxyapatite production in both PPU7 and C2C12 cells. These responses were cell type specific. MDZ treatment alone could induce these changes in PPU7 cells, but C2C12 cell differentiation required BMP-2 addition.

BACKGROUND
Several recent studies have focused on the utility of drug repurposing to expand clinical application of approved therapeutics. Here, we investigate the efficacy of midazolam (MDZ) and cytokines for regenerating calcified tissue, using immortalized porcine dental pulp (PPU7) and mouse skeletal muscle derived myoblast (C2C12) cells, with the goal of repurposing MDZ as a new treatment to facilitate calcified tissue regeneration.
HIGHLIGHTS
We noted that PPU7 and C2C12 cells cultured with various MDZ regimens displayed increased bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and alkaline phosphatase activity. These increases were highest in PPU7 cells cultured with MDZ alone, and in C2C12 cells cultured with MDZ and BMP-2. PPU7 cells cultured under these conditions demonstrated markedly elevated expression of odontoblastic gene markers, indicating their likely differentiation into odontoblasts. Expression levels of osteoblastic gene markers also increased in C2C12 cells, suggesting that MDZ potentiates the effect of BMP-2, inducing osteoblast differentiation in these cells. Newly formed calcified deposits in both PPU7 and C2C12 cells were identified as hydroxyapatite via crystallographic and crystal engineering analyses.
CONCLUSION
MDZ increases ALP activity, inducing expression of specific marker genes for both odontoblasts and osteoblasts while promoting hydroxyapatite production in both PPU7 and C2C12 cells. These responses were cell type specific. MDZ treatment alone could induce these changes in PPU7 cells, but C2C12 cell differentiation required BMP-2 addition.
