To examine the impact of lncRNA GATA3-AS1 regulation of miR-17-3p on bioactivity and inflammation of lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).Patients and Methods: The GATA3-AS1 expression in serum samples from patients with pulpitis, dental caries, and healthy control was examined using RT-qPCR. The GATA3-AS1 expression was verified using the GSE198359 dataset. hDPSCs were exposed to LPS to mimic in vitro pulpitis model. The viability and apoptotic rates of hDPSCs were determined by CCK-8 method and Flow cytometric analysis. The inflammatory cytokines levels were quantified using ELISA-based approach. A SOD assay kit was utilized to measure the activity of SOD. Bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to explore the interaction between GATA3-AS1 and miR-17-3p, along with the potential mechanism.Results: Serum and tissue GATA3-AS1 levels were elevated in patients with pulpitis. Silencing GATA3-AS1 overturned the LPS stimulation inhibited viability and promoted apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in hDPSCs. GATA3-AS1 could target miR-17-3p, and miR-17-3p downregulation reversed silencing GATA3-AS1-mediated effects in LPS-induced hDPSCs. The GATA3-AS1-miR-17-3p axis might mediate the progression of pulpitis by many potential pathways, such as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway.Conclusion: GATA3-AS1 knockdown might have a protective effect on bioactivity, LPS-triggered inflammation, and damage in hDPSCs by regulating miR-17-3p, which might be a promising target for the treatment of pulpitis.Keywords: GATA3-AS1, pulpitis, inflammation, proliferation, miR-17-3p, oxidative stress
