Abstract



G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play important roles in various pathogeneses and physiological regulations. Owing to their functional diversity, GPCRs are considered one of the primary pharmaceutical targets. However, drugs targeting GPCRs have not been developed yet to regenerate hard tissues such as teeth and bones. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have high proliferation and multi-lineage differentiation potential, which are essential for hard tissue regeneration. Here, we present a strategy for targeting class A GPCRs for hard tissue regeneration by promoting the differentiation of endogenous MSCs into osteogenic and odontogenic progenitor cells. Through in vitro screening targeted at class A GPCRs, we identified six target receptors (LPAR1, F2R, F2RL1, F2RL2, S1PR1, and ADORA2A) and candidate drugs with potent biomineralization effects. Through a combination of profiling whole transcriptome and accessible chromatin regions, we identified that p53 acts as a key transcriptional activator of genes that modulate the biomineralization process. Moreover, the therapeutic potential of class A GPCR-targeting drugs was demonstrated in tooth pulpotomy and calvarial defect models. The selected drugs revealed potent regenerative effects in both tooth and bone defects, represented by newly formed highly mineralized regions. Consequently, this study provides translational evidence for a new regenerative strategy for damaged hard tissue.
