In vitro inhibition of glutamate release using dental pulp stem cell derived neurons. (A) Comparison of glutamate release between DPSC and DPSC neurons after 12 weeks of differentiation. A significantly higher fluorometric readout (indicative of the amount of glutamate released) was observed in the neuronally differentiated DPSC neuron group, as compared to blank and DPSC group. No significant difference between blank and DPSC cultures was observed. (B) Comparison of glutamate release between DPSC neuron without any drug (control) and those with the 4 different peptides (Arg0, 1, 2, 3). Arg3 demonstrated the greatest anti-wrinkle efficacy with a reduction of 43% in the release of glutamate. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
