Abstract:
The cellular atlas of the stroma is not well understood. Here, the cell populations in human dental pulp through single-cell RNA sequencing are profiled. Dental pulp stem cells, pulp cells, T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and glial cells are identified in human dental pulp. These cells support each other through sending growth signals. Based on the appearance of ligand-receptor pairs between two cell populations, pulp cells have the greatest communication with other cell types, while T cells have the least communication. In addition, T cells expressing TLR1, TLR2, and TLR4, and endothelial cells expressing TLR4, monitor bacterial invasion. These findings provide the census of normal dental pulp.
