Normal

G9a

H3K9- H3K9me2

hDP-MSCs

G9a facilitates the generation of H3K9me2 and suppresses the transcription of osteogenic markers, including Runx2, Ocn, and DSP.

80

Suv39h1

H3K9- H3K9me2/3

DPSCs

Suv39h1 forms a protein complex with Lhx8, which functions to inhibit the expression of odontogenic genes through the di/trimethylation of H3K9.

92

KDM4B

H3K9me3

hSCAP

DLX5 interacts with KDM4B and facilitates osteo-/odontogenic differentiation through the upregulation of OSX.

102

H3K9me3

DMSC

The P75NRT-mediated NGF signaling pathway induces the activation of the JNK cascade and KDM4B expression through the removal of inhibitory H3K9me3 marks, thereby stimulating DLX5 and subsequently promoting osteogenic differentiation.

101

KDM4D

H3K9me2/3

hSCAP

The combination of KDM4D and RPS5 promotes osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and the migration capacity of SCAP

103

KDM3B

H3K9me2

hSCAP

KDM3B upregulates the expression of Runx2, Osx, Ocn, and Dspp genes, thereby promoting osteo-/odontogenic differentiation in SCAP.
