AB  - Background: Dental stem cells, which originate from the neural crest, due to their easy
accessibility might be good candidates in neuro-regenerative procedures, along with graphene-based
nanomaterials shown to promote neurogenesis in vitro. We aimed to explore the potential of liquid-
phase exfoliated graphene (LPEG) film to stimulate the neuro-differentiation of stem cells from apical
papilla (SCAP). Methods: The experimental procedure was structured as follows: (1) fabrication
of graphene film; (2) isolation, cultivation and SCAP stemness characterization by flowcytometry,
multilineage differentiation (osteo, chondro and adipo) and quantitative PCR (qPCR); (3) SCAP
neuro-induction by cultivation on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) coated with graphene film;
(4) evaluation of neural differentiation by means of several microscopy techniques (light, confocal,
atomic force and scanning electron microscopy), followed by neural marker gene expression analysis
using qPCR. Results: SCAP demonstrated exceptional stemness, as judged by mesenchymal markers’
expression (CD73, CD90 and CD105), and by multilineage differentiation capacity (osteo, chondro and
adipo-differentiation). Neuro-induction of SCAP grown on PET coated with graphene film resulted
in neuron-like cellular phenotype observed under different microscopes. This was corroborated
by the high gene expression of all examined key neuronal markers (Ngn2, NF-M, Nestin, MAP2,
MASH1). Conclusions: The ability of SCAPs to differentiate toward neural lineages was markedly
enhanced by graphene film.
