Objective: To explore the potential role of Erk1/2 signaling pathway in the differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to Schwann cells (SCs). Method: When PDLSCs were induced to differentiate to SCs, the cells were treated with U0126, an Erk1/2 pathway specific inhibitor, and its potential effect on SC differentiation was appraised using Western-blotting, immunostaining, and reverse transcriptase PCR.Results: Specifically inhibiting the Erk1/2 signaling pathway reduced the expression of SC-specific marker genes, S100, GFAP, and P75 and SC differentiation regulators, krox-20, Oct-6, and P0 in the cells undergoing induced differentiation from PDLSCs. Conclusion: The Erk1/2 signaling pathway is involved in the induced differentiation of PDLSCs to SCs.
