Abstract
Surface immobilization of Jagged1 promotes odonto/osteogenic differentiation in human dental pulp cells. On the contrary, soluble Jagged1 fails to activate target gene expression of Notch signaling which is important for differentiation of human dental pulp cells. Hence, Jagged1 delivery system is indeed required for transportation of immobilized Jagged1 to promote odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells in vivo. The present study described the preparation and characterization of Jagged1-bound fibrinogen-based microspheres. Water-in-oil emulsion technique was employed to prepare fibrinogen microspheres and thrombin cross-linked fibrinogen microspheres. The average size of fibrinogen microspheres and thrombin cross-linked fibrinogen microspheres was 213.9 ± 35.9 and 199.9 ± 41.9 µm, respectively. These microspheres did not alter the human dental pulp cells’ cell viability. Human dental pulp cells were able to attach and spread on these microspheres. Jagged1 was conjugated on microspheres using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino) propyl carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide. Binding capacity of Jagged1 on both fibrinogen microspheres and thrombin cross-linked fibrinogen microspheres ranged from 25.8 ± 6.0 to 35.6 ± 9.1%. There was no significant difference in the size of microspheres between before and after Jagged1 conjugation process. In conclusion, fibrinogen microspheres and thrombin cross-linked fibrinogen microspheres could be utilized as the alternative biomaterials for Jagged1 delivery for future biomedical application.

Persistent Exposure to Fusobacterium nucleatum Triggers Chemokine/Cytokine Release and Inhibits the Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation Capabilities of Human Gingiva-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2019; 9:429. [PMID: 31921705 PMCID: PMC6927917 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2019.00429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Fusobacterium nucleatum is one of the most frequent pathogenic bacteria causing periodontitis. The direct effect of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) on oral stem cells has rarely been reported. In this study, we aimed to evaluate how gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) respond to a direct challenge with F. nucleatum. GMSCs were isolated by the limiting dilution method and exposed to F. nucleatum at various multiplicities of infection (MOIs; F. nucleatum:cell ratios of 10:1, 50:1, and 100:1) for 24 h to 4 weeks. Our results indicated that F. nucleatum significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and promoted cell migration and the release of chemokines/cytokines, such as CCL2, CXCL1, and IL-6. Additionally, F. nucleatum inhibited GMSC osteogenic differentiation partly by decreasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralized nodule formation, and osteogenesis-related gene and protein expression. RNA-sequencing analyses indicated that F. nucleatum time-dependently activated cellular signaling pathways during the process of osteogenic differentiation. A total of 64 cell differentiation-related genes were found to be differentially expressed between non-infected and F. nucleatum-infected GMSCs at 3, 7, 14, and 21 d. Intriguingly, we discovered that the 64 cell differentiation-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in cancer-related pathways, such as bone cancer, osteosarcoma and bone marrow cancer, which provides new insight into tumorigenesis during the process of GMSC osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that persistent exposure to F. nucleatum promotes cell migration and chemokine/cytokine release and inhibits the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of GMSCs. Our study provides a novel and long-time bacteria-cell co-culture in vitro model and makes a foundation for the future mechanistic studies of GMSCs under F. nucleatum infection.

Abstract
Direct pulp capping process is a therapeutic method aimed at maintenance of pulp vitality and health by using a biocompatible material placed directly over the exposed pulp. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of direct pulp capping procedures by dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) or calcium hydroxide on dentin tissue formation. Three mongrel dogs were used as experimental model. Two access cavities were prepared in the right and left mandibular fourth premolars in all dogs to expose and extirpate the pulp tissues which were processed in the lab to obtain a single-cell suspensions. The isolated cells were cultures in odontogenic medium for subsequent differentiation. The maxillary teeth (3 incisors and one canine) of the corresponding dog number were subjected to class V cavities to expose their pulps which were assigned into 2 groups of 12 teeth each ( group I - pulp capping with calcium hydroxide) and (group II - pulp capping with dental stem cells DPSCs). The operated teeth were collected after 3 months and processed for histological and electron microscopic examinations. Specimens were subjected to elemental analysis of calcium and phosphorus. EDX elemental analysis revealed significant differences in the calcium and phosphorous wt, % in the reparative dentin of calcium hydroxide treated group which confirmed histologically. Direct pulp capping by DPSCs has shown promising generative potential for regaining normal dentin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION EDTA has been considered the gold standard in regenerative endodontic treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different dentin conditioning agents other than EDTA on released growth factors, mesenchymal stem cell attachment, and morphology. METHODS Transforming growth factor beta 1, vascular endothelial growth factor, bone morphogenetic protein 2, and fibroblast growth factor 2 release from prepared dentin discs conditioned with 17% EDTA, 10% citric acid, 1% phytic acid (IP6), or 37% phosphoric acid were quantified using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after final irrigation and after 3 days of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (adMSC) seeding. Forty root fragments were prepared from extracted single-rooted teeth. The morphology and attachment of adMSCs on the conditioned root fragments were observed using a scanning electron microscope. Data for growth factor quantification were analyzed using 1-way analysis. RESULTS The highest transforming growth factor beta 1 release was observed after citric acid treatment followed by phosphoric acid; there was no significant difference between them, but compared with EDTA and 1% IP6, there were significant differences observed. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detected a very minor exposure of vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor 2 after dentin conditioning, but there were no significant differences between the groups. The greatest bone morphogenetic protein 2 release was observed in the 1% IP6 group, but there were no significant differences between the groups. Three days of adMSC seeding after dentin conditioning has made a dramatic increase in all of the growth factors, and phosphoric acid appeared to be the most effective agent with significant differences compared with the remaining groups. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that none of the conditioning solutions had an adverse effect on stem cell proliferation and attachment to root dentin. Different cell morphologies like round, oblong, flat, and well-attached cells with developed filopodia were observed in the dentin-conditioned groups. CONCLUSIONS Phosphoric acid conditioning could be useful and may have beneficial effects in regenerative endodontic treatments.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are reported to be enriched in stem/progenitor cells, however to the best of our knowledge they have yet to be well documented and characterized. In the present study, in order to characterize DPSCs and the effect of microRNAs (miRs/miRNAs) on DPSC properties, a miRNA array was performed between dental periodontal ligament cells (DPLCs) and DPSCs. The results revealed that miR-224-5p (miR-224) was highly expressed in the DPSCs compared with that in the DPLCs. The transfection of DPSCs with an miR-224 inhibitor impaired cell viability. In addition, miR-224 inhibition significantly promoted cell apoptosis in DPSCscompared with the NC group. In silico analysis and a dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-224 targets the 3′-untranslated region of the Rac family small GTPase 1 (Rac1) gene. miR-224 downregulation resulted in the increased expression of Rac1 in DPSCs compared with DPLCs. Furthermore, miR-224 inhibition caused augmented mitogen-activated protein kinase 8, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Fas ligand expression in DPSC, which may be recovered by Rac1 silencing with transfection with short hairpin RNA-Rac1. Furthermore, Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide flow cytometry indicated that the silencing of Rac1 restored the pro-apoptotic DPSC cell number with miR-224 transfection. Therefore, the results of the present study suggested miR-224 in DPSC serves an important function in protecting cells against apoptosis by downregulating Rac1 expression, and also identified miR-224 as a novel miRNA in regulating the features of DPSC.

Abstract
Similar to the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) also have pluripotent differentiation characteristic and may be more ideal for tissue regeneration, especially in tooth regeneration engineering. However, bacterial infection may be a powerful obstacle. Berberine (BBR), known with antibacterial effects, was recently found to play functions in bone formation through promoting osteogenic differentiation from pluripotent stem cells. However, whether BBR also function in DPSCs osteogenic differentiation has not yet been reported. Primary DPSCs were isolated from dental pulp tissues extracted from human impacted mandibular third molars, and identified by flow cytometry for cell surface antigen molecules. A dexamethasone osteogenic medium was used to induce DPSCs osteogenic differentiation. BBR (1 μM and 5 μM) was pre-added to into medium, and then cell proliferation, spheroid formation and osteogenic differentiation capacities of DPSCs were analyzed, as well as the underlying molecules modulation mechanism. Flow cytometry identified that CD44, CD90, CD81 and CD105 positively expressed in the isolated hDPSCs, with CD34 and CD45 negetively expressed. BBR enhanced the cell proliferation of hDPSCs in a dose-dependent pattern, and promoted dexamethasone-induced osteogenic differentiation via enhancing Runx2 transcription factor activity followed by upregulating osteogenesis markers expression, whereas the adipogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was suppressed dramatically by BBR. The EGFR and MAPK pathways were activated by BBR, and inhibitors for these pathways significantly suppressed the osteogenic differentiation promotion of BBR. These results have revealed a novel mechanism that berberine might promote hDPSCs osteogenic differentiation through activating EGFR-MAPK-Runx2 signaling pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in three-dimensional co-culture system which was established with the help of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and hydrogel. METHODS hDPCs and hUCMSCs were cultured in different concentrations of hydrogel to explore the more suitable concentrations for subsequent experiments. hUCMSCs and hDPCs induced by BMP-2 were co-cultured in the hydrogel. MTT assay was used to measure the cell viability. The differentiation into odontoblast-like cells were measured by the mRNA expression of dentin salivary phosphoprotein (DSPP), dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1), alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. Alizarin red staining was performed for the formation of mineralized nodules. RESULTS hUCMSCs and hDPCs could grow and proliferate in hydrogel scaffold. The growth rate of cells in lower concentrations hydrogels were higher than that of high concentrations hydrogels (P < 0.05). The study showed that 0.25% hydrogel scaffold was more suitable for subsequent experiments than other groups. Compared with hUCMSCs-monoculture and hDPCs-monoculture, the co-culture groups exhibited more proliferative potential, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization nodule formation (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression in co-culture groups were higher than that of hUCMSCs-monoculture, closed to or even higher than that of hDPCs-monoculture. CONCLUSION 0.25% hydrogel was the suitable concentration in co-culture system for subsequent experiments. The co-culture groups had stronger abilities of odontoblastic differentiation and mineralization than cells-monoculture groups, indicated that the co-culture conditions could regulate cell proliferation and differentiation within a certain range.

Abstract
Dentin consists of inorganic hard tissue and organic dentin matrix components (DMCs). Various kinds of bioactive molecules are included in DMCs and some of them can be released after digestion by endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the caries region. Digested DMCs induced by MMP20 have been reported to promote pulpal wound healing processes, but the released critical molecules responsible for this phenomenon are unclear. Here, we identified protein S100-A7 as a critical molecule for pulpal healing in digested DMCs by comprehensive proteomic approaches and following pulp capping experiments in rat molars. In addition, immunohistochemical results indicated the specific distribution of S100-A7 and receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) as receptor for S100-A7 in the early stage of the pulpal healing process, and following accumulation of CD146-positive stem cells in wounded pulp. Our findings indicate that protein S100-A7 released from dentin by MMP20 might play a key role in dentin pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) has been used as a recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) carrier in many clinical trials. To optimize the clinical safety and efficacy of rhBMP-2 with DDM, efforts have been made to improve the delivery of rhBMP-2 by 1) lowering the administered dose, 2) localizing the protein, and 3) prolonging its retention time at the action site as well as the bone forming capacity of the carrier itself. The release profile of rhBMP-2 that is associated with endogenous BMP in dentin has been postulated according to the type of incorporation, which is attributed to the loosened interfibrillar space and nanoporous dentinal tubule pores. Physically adsorbed and modified, physically entrapped rhBMP-2 is sequentially released from the DDM surface during the early stage of implantation. As DDM degradation progresses, the loosened interfibrillar space and enlarged dentinal tubules release the entrapped rhBMP-2. Finally, the endogenous BMP in dentin is released with osteoclastic dentin resorption. According to the postulated release profile, DDM can therefore be used in a controlled manner as a sequential delivery scaffold for rhBMP-2, thus sustaining the rhBMP-2 concentration for a prolonged period due to localization. In addition, we attempted to determine how to lower the rhBMP-2 concentration to 0.2 mg/mL, which is lower than the approved 1.5 mg/mL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The primary aim was to explore the criteria used in characterization of reparative cells and mineralized matrices formed after treatment of pulp exposures, and the sequence of relative events. The secondary aim was to evaluate whether the reparative events depend on the experimental model species, age, and therapeutic intervention. METHODS A literature search of databases using different combinations of the key words was undertaken. Data analysis was based only on studies having histological or histochemical assessment of the pulp tissue responses. The search yielded 86 studies, 47 capping material-based and 39 bioactive application-based experiments, which provided data on morphological or functional characterization of the mineralized matrices and the associated cells. RESULTS In 64% of capping material-based and 72% of bioactive application-based experiments, a 2-zone mineralized matrix formation (atubular followed by tubular) was detected, whereas characterization of odontoblastic differentiation is provided in only 25.5% and 46.1% of the studies, respectively. In 93.3% of the studies showing odontoblast-like cells, differentiated cells were in association with tubular mineralized matrix formation. Analyses further showed that cell- and matrix-related outcomes do not depend on experimental model species, age, and therapeutic intervention. CONCLUSIONS The evidence of the reviewed scientific literature is that dental pulp cells secrete a dentin-like matrix of tubular morphology in relation to primitive forms of atubular or osteotypic mineralized matrix. Furthermore, data analysis showed that dental pulp cells express in vivo the odontoblastic phenotype, and secrete matrix in a predentin-like pattern, regardless of the model species, age, and therapeutic intervention used.

Abstract
Background Odontoblast is a unique progenitor that plays a role in dentin formation. So far, the dentinogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells and the role of surface molecules of odontoblasts in dentinogenesis are not well known yet. In this study, we obtained odontoblast-like cells from human dental pulp cells and screened odontoblast-specific cell surface antigens by decoy immunization. Methods Through decoy immunization with intact odontoblast-like cells derived from human dental pulp cells, we constructed 12 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of IgG type, and their binding affinities for cell surface of odontoblast-like cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and immunohistochemistry were performed to demonstrate odontoblast-specific antigens. Odontoblasts were sorted by these mAbs using magnetic-activated cell sorting system, and their mineralization efficiency was increased after sorting. Results We constructed 12 mAbs of IgG type, which had a strong binding affinity for cell surface antigens of odontoblast-like cells. In human adult tooth, these mAbs accumulated in the odontoblastic layer between dentin and pulp and in the perivascular region adjacent to the blood vessels in the pulp core. Cell surface expression of the antigenic molecules was increased during odontogenic cytodifferentiation and decreased gradually as dentinogenic maturation progressed. Proteomic analysis showed that two representative antigenic molecules, OD40 and OD46, had the potential to be components for cell adhesion and extracellular matrix structures. Conclusion These results suggest that mAbs will be useful for detecting and separating odontoblasts from the primary pulp cells and other lineage cells and will provide information on the structures of extracellular matrix and microenvironment that appears during the dentinogenic differentiation.

Regulating substrate mechanics to achieve odontogenic differentiation for dental pulp stem cells on TiO 2 filled and unfilled polyisoprene. Acta Biomater 2019; 89:60-72. [PMID: 30836198 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.02.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2018] [Revised: 01/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
We have shown that materials other than hydrogels commonly used in tissue engineering can be effective in enabling differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC). Here we demonstrate that a hydrophobic elastomer, polyisoprene (PI), a component of Gutta-percha, normally used to obturate the tooth canal, can also be used to initiate differentiation of the pulp. We showed that PI substrates without additional coating promote cell adhesion and differentiation, while their moduli can be easily adjusted either by varying the coating thickness or incorporation of inorganic particles. DPSC plated on those PI substrates were shown, using SPM and hysitron indentation, to adjust their moduli to conform to differentially small changes in the substrate modulus. In addition, optical tweezers were used to separately measure the membrane and cytoplasm moduli of DPSC, with and without Rho kinase inhibitor. The results indicated that the changes in modulus were attributed predominantly to changes within the cytoplasm, rather than the cell membrane. CLSM was used to identify cell morphology. Differentiation, as determined by qRT-PCR, of the upregulation of OCN, and COL1α1 as well as biomineralization, characterized by SEM/EDAX, was observed on hard PI substrates in the absence of induction factors, i.e. dexamethasone, with moduli 3-4 MPa, regardless of preparation. SEM showed that even though biomineralization was deposited on both spun cast thin PI and filled thick PI substrates, the minerals were aggregated into large clusters on thin PI, and uniformly distributed on filled thick PI, where it was templated within banded collagen fibers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This manuscript demonstrates the potential of polyisoprene (PI), an elastomeric polymer, for use in tissue engineering. We show how dental pulp stem cells adjust their moduli continuously to match infinitesimally small changes in substrate mechanics, till a critical threshold is reached when they will differentiate. The lineage of differentiation then becomes a sensitive function of both mechanics and morphology for a given chemical composition. Since PI is a major component of Gutta-percha, the FDA approved material commonly used for obturating the root canal, this work suggests that it can easily be adapted for in vivo use in dental regeneration.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the dentinogenetic effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP1) on human pulp cells in vitro and rat pulp tissue in vivo. METHODOLOGY The effect of TIMP1 on pulp cell functions related to hard tissue formation as part of the wound healing process (i.e. biocompatibility, proliferation, differentiation and mineralized nodule formation) was evaluated in vitro and using a direct pulp capping experimental animal model in vivo. The effects of different-sized cavity preparations on hard tissue formation induced by ProRoot MTA at 2 weeks were evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Tertiary dentine formation quality and quantity after pulp capping using TIMP1, ProRoot MTA and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was also evaluated after 4 weeks using micro-CT in term of dentine volume (DV), dentine mineral density (DVD) and histological analysis. The data were evaluated by Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test, the Kruskal-Wallis test or the Steel-Dwass test. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS TIMP1 significantly stimulated dental pulp stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization and was more biocompatible compared with the PBS control (P < 0.05). In the pulp capping model, the amount of tertiary dentine that formed was directly proportional to the size of the pulp exposure; greater amounts of tertiary dentine were observed in pulps with larger exposures after 2 weeks. 4-week samples of TIMP1 and ProRoot MTA had similar characteristics, but both sample significantly induced tertiary dentine formation beneath the cavity compared with PBS (P < 0.05) under standardized cavity preparations. CONCLUSIONS TIMP1 has an important role in pulpal wound healing, which makes it a potential biological pulp capping material and candidate molecule for regenerative endodontic therapy.

Abstract
In recent years, stem cell therapy has become a very promising and advanced scientific research topic. The development of treatment methods has evoked great expectations. This paper is a review focused on the discovery of different stem cells and the potential therapies based on these cells. The genesis of stem cells is followed by laboratory steps of controlled stem cell culturing and derivation. Quality control and teratoma formation assays are important procedures in assessing the properties of the stem cells tested. Derivation methods and the utilization of culturing media are crucial to set proper environmental conditions for controlled differentiation. Among many types of stem tissue applications, the use of graphene scaffolds and the potential of extracellular vesicle-based therapies require attention due to their versatility. The review is summarized by challenges that stem cell therapy must overcome to be accepted worldwide. A wide variety of possibilities makes this cutting edge therapy a turning point in modern medicine, providing hope for untreatable diseases.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic procedures for immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis confer biological advantages such as tooth homeostasis, enhanced immune defense system, and a functional pulp-dentin complex, in addition to clinical advantages such as the facilitation of root development. Currently, this procedure is recognized as a paradigm shift from restoration using materials to regenerate pulp-dentin tissues. Many studies have been conducted with regard to stem/progenitor cells, scaffolds, and biomolecules, associated with pulp tissue engineering. However, preclinical and clinical studies have evidently revealed several drawbacks in the current clinical approach to revascularization that may lead to unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, our review examines the challenges encountered under clinical conditions and summarizes current research findings in an attempt to provide direction for transition from basic research to clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) is important in guiding tooth root formation by differentiating into cementoblasts through epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and inducing odontoblastic differentiation of dental papilla through epithelial–mesenchymal interaction (EMI) during the tooth root development. Thus, HERS cells are critical for cementum and dentin formation and might be a potential cell source to achieve tooth root regeneration. However, limited availability and lifespan of primary HERS cells may represent an obstacle for biological investigation and therapeutic use of tooth tissue engineering. Therefore, we constructed, characterized, and tested the functionality of immortalized cell lines in order to produce a more readily available alternative to HERS cells. Methods Primary HERS cells were immortalized via infection with lentivirus vector containing the gene encoding simian virus 40 Large T Antigen (SV40LT). Immortalized HERS cell subclones were isolated using a limiting dilution method, and subclones named HERS-H1 and HERS-C2 cells were isolated. The characteristics of HERS-H1 and HERS-C2 cells, including cell proliferation, ability of epithelial–mesenchymal transformation and epithelial–mesenchymal interaction, were determined by CCK-8 assay, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time PCR. The cell differentiation into cementoblast-like cells or periodontal fibroblast-like cells was confirmed in vivo. And the inductive influence of the cell lines on dental papilla cells (DPCs) was also confirmed in vivo. Results HERS-H1 and HERS-C2 cells share some common features with primary HERS cells such as epithelial-like morphology, positive expression of CK14, E-Cadherin, and Vimentin, and undergoing EMT in response to TGF-beta. HERS-C2 cells showed the EMT characteristics and could differentiate into cementum-forming cells in vitro and generate cementum-like tissue in vivo. HERS-H1 could induce the differentiation of DPCs into odontoblasts in vitro and generation of dentin-like tissue in vivo. Conclusions We successfully isolated and characterized novel cell lines representing two key features of HERS cells during the tooth root development and which were useful substitutes for primary HERS cells, thereby providing a biologically relevant, unlimited cell source for studies on cell biology, developmental biology, and tooth root regeneration.

Abstract
The preservation of vital dental pulp with vasculature and nerve components remains one of the most significant challenges in modern dentistry. Due to the immense potential for neurovascularization, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has shown emerging promise in regenerative medicine and dental translational practice. Actually, pulp mesenchymal stem cells, including postnatal dental pulp stem cells (from permanent teeth) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, possess unique properties based on their origins from neural crest or glial cells. Furthermore, they reside in a neurovascular niche and have the potential for neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurovascular inductive activity. According to current pulp regeneration strategies, pulp stem cell-mediated approaches to regeneration have demonstrated convincing evidence that they can rebuild the complex histologic structure of native pulp in situ with highly organized physiologic patterns or even achieve de novo regeneration of complete dental pulp tissues. More importantly, recent clinical studies emphasized in situ neurovascularization outcomes in successful regeneration of vitalized pulp via pulp stem cell transplantation. In this review, we summarize recent breakthroughs in pulp stem cell-mediated pulp regeneration, emphasizing the crucial achievement of neurovascularization. This functional pulp regeneration represents an innovative and promising approach for future regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Biomimetic chitosan/gelatin (CS/Gel) scaffolds have attracted great interest in tissue engineering of several tissues. However, limited information exists regarding the potential of combining CS/Gel scaffolds with oral cells, such as dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), to produce customized constructs targeting alveolar/orofacial bone reconstruction, which has been the aim of the present study. METHODS Two scaffold types, designated as CS/Gel-0.1 and CS/Gel-1, were fabricated using 0.1 and 1% (v/v) respectively of the crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA). Scaffolds (n=240) were seeded with DPSCs with/without pre-exposure to recombinant human BMP-2. In vitro assessment included DPSCs characterization (flow cytometry), evaluation of viability/proliferation (live/dead staining, metabolic-based tests), osteo/odontogenic gene expression analysis (qRT-PCR) and structural/chemical characterization (scanning electron microscopy, SEM; energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDX; X-ray powder diffraction, XRD; thermogravimetry, TG). In vivo assessment included implantation of DPSC-seeded scaffolds in immunocompromised mice, followed by histology and SEM-EDX. Statistical analysis employed one/two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests (significance for p<0.05). RESULTS Both scaffolds supported cell viability/proliferation over 14 days in culture, showing extensive formation of a hydroxyapatite-rich nanocrystalline calcium phosphate phase. Differential expression patterns indicated GTA concentration to significantly affect the expression of osteo/odontogenic genes, with CS/Gel-0.1 scaffolds being more effective in upregulating DSPP, IBSP and Osterix. In vivo analysis demonstrated time-dependent production of a nanocrystalline, mineralized matrix at 6, 8 and 10 weeks, being more prominent in constructs bearing rhBMP-2 pre-treated cells. The latter showed higher amounts of osteoid and fully mineralized bone, as well as empty space reduction. SIGNIFICANCE These results reveal a promising strategy for orofacial bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a silent systemic disease that causes bone deterioration, and affects over 10 million people in the US alone. This study was undertaken to develop a potential stem cell therapy for osteoporosis. We have isolated and expanded human dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs), characterized them, and confirmed their multipotential differentiation abilities. Stem cells often remain quiescent and require activation to differentiate and function. Herein, we show that ferutinin activates DPSCs by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and key osteoblast-secreted proteins osteocalcin and collagen 1A1 both mRNA and protein levels. To confirm that ferutinin modulates the Wnt pathway, we inhibited glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and found that protein expression patterns were similar to those found in ferutinin-treated DPSCs. To evaluate the role of ferutinin in epigenetic regulation of canonical Wnt signaling, the pathway molecules Wnt3a and Dvl3 were analyzed using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-quantitative PCR approaches. We confirmed that active marks of both H3K9 acetylation and H3K4 trimethylation were significantly enhanced in the promoter sites of the WNT3A and DVL3 genes in DPSCs after addition of ferutinin. These data provide evidence that ferutinin activates and promotes osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs, and could be used as an inducer as a potentially effective stem cell therapy for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Senescence-related impairment of proliferation and differentiation limits the use of dental pulp cells for tissue regeneration. Deletion of sclerostin improves the dentinogenesis regeneration, while its role in dental pulp senescence is unclear. We investigated the role of sclerostin in subculture-induced senescence of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) and in the senescence-related decline of proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation. Methods Immunohistochemical staining and qRT-PCR analyses were performed to examine the expression pattern of sclerostin in young (20–30-year-old) and senescent (45–80-year-old) dental pulps. HDPCs were serially subcultured until senescence, and the expression of sclerostin was examined by qRT-PCR analysis. HDPCs with sclerostin overexpression and knockdown were constructed to investigate the role of sclerostin in HDPCs senescence and senescence-related impairment of odontoblastic differentiation potential. Results By immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR, we found a significantly increased expression level of sclerostin in senescent human dental pulp compared with that of young human dental pulp. Additionally, elevated sclerostin expression was found in subculture-induced senescent HDPCs in vitro. By sclerostin overexpression and knockdown, we found that sclerostin promoted HDPCs senescence-related decline of proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation potential with increased expression of p16, p53 and p21 and downregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Discussion The increased expression of sclerostin is responsible for the decline of proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation potential of HDPCs during cellular senescence. Anti-sclerostin treatment may be beneficial for the maintenance of the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation potentials of HDPCs.

[PMID: 30071469 PMCID: PMC6259625 DOI: 10.1016/j.ghir.2018.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2018] [Revised: 07/16/2018] [Accepted: 07/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The IGF axis is represented by two growth factors (IGF1 and IGF2), two cognate cell surface receptors (IGF1R and IGF2R), six soluble high affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBP1-6) and several IGFBP proteases. IGF1 and IGF2 are present at high concentrations in bone and play a crucial role in the maintenance and differentiation of both foetal and adult skeleton. In order to understand the role of the IGF axis in bone and other tissues it is necessary to profile the expression and activity of all genes in the axis together with the activity of relevant ancillary proteins (including IGFBP proteases). In the current report we used differentiating human dental pulp cells (hDPC) to examine the expression and activity of the IGF axis during osteogenic differentiation of these cells. We found that, with the exception of IGF1 and IGFBP1, all components of the IGF axis are expressed in hDPCs. IGFBP-4 is the most abundantly expressed IGFBP species at both mRNA and protein levels under both basal and osteogenic conditions. Although we found no difference in IGFBP-4 expression under osteogenic conditions, we report increased expression and activity of pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A - an IGFBP-4 proteinase) leading to increased IGFBP-4 proteolysis in differentiating cell cultures. Further to this we report increased expression of IGF-2 (an activator of PAPP-A), and decreased expression of stanniocalcin-2 (STC2- a recently discovered inhibitor of PAPP-A) under osteogenic conditions. We also demonstrate that STC2 and PAPP-A are able to form complexes in hDPC conditioned medium indicating the potential for regulation of IGFBP-4 proteolysis through this mechanism. We suggest that these changes in the expression and activity of the IGF axis may represent part of an osteogenic signature characteristic of differentiating hDPCs.

Abstract
Dental pulp is a connective tissue and has functions that include initiative, formative, protective, nutritive, and reparative activities. However, it has relatively low compliance, because it is enclosed in hard tissue. Its low compliance against damage, such as dental caries, results in the frequent removal of dental pulp during endodontic therapy. Loss of dental pulp frequently leads to fragility of the tooth, and eventually, a deterioration in the patient’s quality of life. With the development of biomaterials such as bioceramics and advances in pulp biology such as the identification of dental pulp stem cells, novel ideas for the preservation of dental pulp, the regenerative therapy of dental pulp, and new biomaterials for direct pulp capping have now been proposed. Therapies for dental pulp are classified into three categories; direct pulp capping, vital pulp amputation, and treatment for non-vital teeth. In this review, we discuss current and future treatment options in these therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Great interest has recently been focused on tooth and tooth derivatives as suitable substrates for the treatment of alveolar bone defects. Here, we propose the use of demineralized baby teeth (BT) as potential grafting materials for bone augmentation procedures. METHODS Particles of human BT (Ø < 1 mm) were demineralized by means of a chemical/thermal treatment. Demineralized BT particles were thoroughly characterized by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray analyses to evaluate the effects of the demineralization on BT topography and mineral phase composition, and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to quantify collagen and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) protein contents. The response of SAOS-2 cells to exogenous BMP-2 stimulation was evaluated to identify the minimum BMP-2 concentration able to induce osteodifferentiation in vitro (alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity). RESULTS The demineralization treatment led to a dramatic decrease in relative Ca and P content (%) of ≈75% with respect to the native BT particles, while preserving native protein conformation and activity. Interestingly, the demineralization process led to a rise in the bioavailability of BMP-2 in BT particles, as compared to the untreated counterparts. The BMP-2 content found in demineralized BT was also proved to be very effective in enhancing ALP activity, thus in the osteodifferentiation of SAOS-2 cells in vitro, as confirmed by cell experiments performed upon exogenously added BMP-2. CONCLUSIONS In this study we demonstrate that the BMP-2 content found in demineralized BT is very effective in inducing cell osteodifferentiation, and strengthens the idea that BTs are very attractive bioactive materials for bone-grafting procedures.

Dentinogenic effects of extracted dentin matrix components digested with matrix metalloproteinases. Sci Rep 2018; 8:10690.

Abstract
Dentin is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite crystals within a rich organic matrix. The organic matrix comprises collagenous structural components, within which a variety of bioactive molecules are sequestered. During caries progression, dentin is degraded by acids and enzymes derived from various sources, which can release bioactive molecules with potential reparative activity towards the dentin-pulp complex. While these molecules’ repair activities in other tissues are already known, their biological effects are unclear in relation to degradation events during disease in the dentin-pulp complex. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dentin matrix components (DMCs) that are partially digested by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in vitro and in vivo during wound healing of the dentin-pulp complex. DMCs were initially isolated from healthy dentin and treated with recombinant MMPs. Subsequently, their effects on the behaviour of primary pulp cells were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Digested DMCs modulated a range of pulp cell functions in vitro. In addition, DMCs partially digested with MMP-20 stimulated tertiary dentin formation in vivo, which exhibited a more regular tubular structure than that induced by treatment with other MMPs. Our results indicate that MMP-20 may be especially effective in stimulating wound healing of the dentin-pulp complex.

Abstract
Following the basis of tissue engineering (Cells-Scaffold-Bioactive molecules), regenerative endodontic has emerged as a new concept of dental treatment. Clinical procedures have been proposed by endodontic practitioners willing to promote regenerative therapy. Preserving pulp vitality was a first approach. Later procedures aimed to regenerate a vascularized pulp in necrotic root canals. However, there is still no protocol allowing an effective regeneration of necrotic pulp tissue either in immature or mature teeth. This review explores in vitro and preclinical concepts developed during the last decade, especially the potential use of stem cells, bioactive molecules, and scaffolds, and makes a comparison with the goals achieved so far in clinical practice. Regeneration of pulp-like tissue has been shown in various experimental conditions. However, the appropriate techniques are currently in a developmental stage. The ideal combination of scaffolds and growth factors to obtain a complete regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex is still unknown. The use of stem cells, especially from pulp origin, sounds promising for pulp regeneration therapy, but it has not been applied so far for clinical endodontics, in case of necrotic teeth. The gap observed between the hope raised from in vitro experiments and the reality of endodontic treatments suggests that clinical success may be achieved without external stem cell application. Therefore, procedures using the concept of cell homing, through evoked bleeding that permit to recreate a living tissue that mimics the original pulp has been proposed. Perspectives for pulp tissue engineering in the near future include a better control of clinical parameters and pragmatic approach of the experimental results (autologous stem cells from cell homing, controlled release of growth factors). In the coming years, this therapeutic strategy will probably become a clinical reality, even for mature necrotic teeth.

Abstract
Scaffolds and their characteristics play a central role in tissue engineering. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)/Chitosan/nano-bioglass (nBG) nanofiber scaffold made using the electrospinning method, on the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells obtained from human exfoliated deciduous teeth into odontoblast-like cells. In this experimental study, the pulps of the molten deciduous teeth were isolated, thereafter, the stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were extracted and then the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to determine the cell viability percentage. The expression of some stem cell genes was studied by flowcytometry. These cells were then subjected to odontoblast by using the bone morphogenetic proteins-2 (BMP2) growth factor in the differentiation medium and for the expression of their specific genes. Primers of collagen type-I, dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were used and the percentage of differentiation to odontoblast cells in induction scaffolds was investigated using real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry methods. The results revealed a 6-fold increase in the expression of DSPP genes and collagen type-I, and a 2-fold increase in the expression of ALP in scaffold with BMP2 group compared to the scaffold as control group which according to the immunohistochemical test results, showed the extracted SHED to have been differentiated into dentin odontoblast-like cells. As a result, this scaffold can be used as a suitable substrate to apply in dentin tissue engineering.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture methods are of high importance to studies of biological processes. This is particularly the case with spheroid cultures, which create 3D cell aggregates without the use of exogenous materials. Compared to conventional monolayer cultures, cellular spheroid cultures have been demonstrated to improve multilineage potential and extracellular matrix production. To address this issue in depth, we present a more comprehensive analysis of 3D human dental pulp cell (hDPC) spheroids. DESIGN hDPC spheroids were fabricated by the pellet culture method and were cultured without adding any reagent to induce differentiation. The gene-expression profiles of the 3D and two-dimensional (2D) cultured hDPCs were compared by complementary DNA microarray analysis. Odontoblastic and osteoblastic differentiation marker gene expression was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were applied to examine the morphology of hDPC spheroids and extracellular matrix components. RESULTS Compared with 2D monolayer culture, microarray analysis identified 405 genes and 279 genes with twofold or greater differential expression after 3 days and 28 days of 3D culture, respectively. In 3D hDPC spheroids, gene ontology analysis revealed upregulation of extracellular matrix-related genes and downregulation of cell growth-related genes. RT-qPCR analysis showed higher expression levels of osteocalcin, dentin sialophosphoprotein, and alkaline phosphatase. TEM revealed the morphological characteristics of the fibrillar collagen-rich matrix and cell-cell interactions. CONCLUSIONS The present findings provide clues to understanding the mechanisms of pellet-cultured hDPCs and contribute to future research in the comparative studies of different 3D culture methods.

Abstract
Craniomaxillofacial injuries produce complex wound environments involving various tissue types and treatment strategies. In a clinical setting, care is taken to properly irrigate and stabilize the injury, while grafts are molded in an attempt to maintain physiological functionality and cosmesis. This often requires multiple surgeries and grafts leading to added discomfort, pain and financial burden. Many of these injuries can lead to disfigurement and resultant loss of system function including mastication, respiration, and articulation, and these can lead to acute and long-term psychological impact on the patient. A main causality of these issues is the lack of an ability to spatially control pre-injury morphology while maintaining shape and function. With the advent of additive manufacturing (three-dimensional printing) and its use in conjunction with biomaterial regenerative strategies and stem cell research, there is an increased potential capacity to alleviate such limitations. This review focuses on the current capabilities of additive manufacturing platforms, completed research and potential for future uses in the treatment of craniomaxillofacial injuries, with an in-depth discussion of regeneration of the periodontal complex and teeth.

Abstract
Inducing differentiation and maturation of resident multipotent stem cells (MSCs) is an important strategy to regenerate hard tissues in mal-calcification conditions. Here we explore a co-delivery approach of therapeutic molecules comprised of ion and drug through a mesoporous bioglass nanoparticle (MBN) for this purpose. Recently, MBN has offered unique potential as a nanocarrier for hard tissues, in terms of high mesoporosity, bone bioactivity (and possibly degradability), tunable delivery of biomolecules, and ionic modification. Herein Sr ion is structurally doped to MBN while drug Phenamil is externally loaded as a small molecule activator of BMP signaling, for the stimulation of osteo/odontogenesis and mineralization of human MSCs derived from dental pulp. The Sr-doped MBN (85Si:10Ca:5Sr) sol-gel processed presents a high mesoporosity with a pore size of ∼6nm. In particular, Sr ion is released slowly at a daily rate of ∼3ppm per mg nanoparticles for up to 7days, a level therapeutically effective for cellular stimulation. The Sr-MBN is internalized to most MSCs via an ATP dependent macropinocytosis within hours, increasing the intracellular levels of Sr, Ca and Si ions. Phenamil is loaded maximally ∼30% into Sr-MBN and then released slowly for up to 7days. The co-delivered molecules (Sr ion and Phenamil drug) have profound effects on the differentiation and maturation of cells, i.e., significantly enhancing expression of osteo/odontogenic genes, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineralization of cells. Of note, the stimulation is a result of a synergism of Sr and Phenamil, through a Trb3-dependent BMP signaling pathway. This biological synergism is further evidenced in vivo in a mal-calcification condition involving an extracted tooth implantation in dorsal subcutaneous tissues of rats. Six weeks post operation evidences the osseous-dentinal hard tissue formation, which is significantly stimulated by the Sr/Phenamil delivery, based on histomorphometric and micro-computed tomographic analyses. The bioactive nanoparticles releasing both Sr ion and Phenamil drug are considered to be a promising therapeutic nanocarrier platform for hard tissue regeneration. Furthermore, this novel ion/drug co-delivery concept through nanoparticles can be extensively used for other tissues that require different therapeutic treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This study reports a novel design concept in inorganic nanoparticle delivery system for hard tissues - the co-delivery of therapeutic molecules comprised of ion (Sr) and drug (Phenamil) through a unique nanoparticle of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBN). The physico-chemical and biological properties of MBN enabled an effective loading of both therapeutic molecules and a subsequently sustained/controlled release. The co-delivered Sr and Phenamil demonstrated significant stimulation of adult stem cell differentiation in vitro and osseous/dentinal regeneration in vivo, through BMP signaling pathways. We consider the current combination of Sr ion with Phenamil is suited for the osteo/odontogenesis of stem cells for hard tissue regeneration, and further, this ion/drug co-delivery concept can extend the applications to other areas that require specific cellular and tissue functions.

BMP-2 induced Dspp transcription is mediated by Dlx3/Osx signaling pathway in odontoblasts. Sci Rep 2017; 7:10775.

Abstract
Dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp) as a differentiation marker of odontoblasts is regulated by BMP-2. However, the intimate mechanism is still unknown. Transcription factors Dlx3 and Osx are essential for odontoblasts differentiation. We hypothesized that BMP-2 regulation of Dspp transcription was mediated by Dlx3 and/or Osx in odontoblasts. In the present investigation, we found that BMP-2 stimulated expression and nuclear translocation of Dlx3 and Osx in odontoblasts both in vitro and in vivo. Osx was a downstream target of Dlx3 and both of them stimulated Dsp expression. Both Dlx3 and Osx were able to activate Dspp promoter from nucleotides (nt) -318 to +54 by transfections of luciferase reports containing different lengths of mouse Dspp promoters. The binding of Dlx3 and Osx with nt -318 to +54 of Dspp promoter was verified by chromatin immunoprecipitation in vivo. Two Dlx3 binding sites and one Osx binding site on Dspp promoter were found by EMSA. Furthermore, the exact biological function of these binding sites was confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. At last, the protein-protein interaction between Dlx3 and Osx in odontoblasts was detected by co-immunoprecipitation. In conclusion, in this study we found a novel signaling pathway in which BMP-2 activates Dspp gene transcription via Dlx3/Osx pathway.

Bio-engineered teeth that can grow and remodel in a manner similar to that of natural teeth have the potential to serve as permanent replacements to the currently used prosthetic teeth, such as dental implants. A major challenge in designing functional bio-engineered teeth is to mimic both the structural and anisotropic mechanical characteristics of the native tooth. Therefore, the field of dental and whole tooth regeneration has advanced towards the molecular and nanoscale design of bio-active, biomimetic systems, using biomaterials, drug delivery systems and stem cells. The focus of this review is to discuss recent advances in tooth tissue engineering, using biomimetic scaffolds that provide proper architectural cues, exhibit the capacity to support dental stem cell proliferation and differentiation and sequester and release bio-active agents, such as growth factors and nucleic acids, in a spatiotemporal controlled manner. Although many in vitro and in vivo studies on tooth regeneration appear promising, before tooth tissue engineering becomes a reality for humans, additional research is needed to perfect methods that use adult human dental stem cells, as opposed to embryonic dental stem cells, and to devise the means to generate bio-engineered teeth of predetermined size and shape.

Demineralized dentin and enamel matrices as suitable substrates for bone regeneration. J Appl Biomater Funct Mater 2017; 15:e236-e243.

Abstract
Background In recent decades, tooth derivatives such as dentin (D) and enamel (E) have
been considered as potential graft biomaterials to treat bone defects. This
study aimed to investigate the effects of demineralization on the
physical-chemical and biological behavior of D and E. Methods Human D and E were minced into particles (Ø<1 mm), demineralized and
sterilized. Thorough physical-chemical and biochemical characterizations of
native and demineralized materials were performed by SEM and EDS analysis
and ELISA kits to determine mineral, collagen type I and BMP-2 contents. In
addition, MG63 and SAOS-2 cells were seeded on tooth-derived materials and
Bio-Oss®, and a comparison of cell responses in terms of adhesion and
proliferation was carried out. Results The sterilization process, as a combination of chemical and thermal
treatments, was found to be effective for all materials. On the other hand,
D demineralization allowed preserving the collagen content, while increasing
BMP-2 bioavailability. D and demineralized D (dD) displayed excellent
biocompatibility, even greater than Bio-Oss®. Conversely, the high mineral
content displayed by E, as confirmed by EDS analysis, inhibited cell
proliferation. Of note, even though the demineralization process was somehow
less effective in E than in D, demineralized E (dE) displayed increased
BMP-2 bioavailability and improved performance in vitro compared with native
E. Conclusions Our results substantiate the idea that the demineralization process lead to
an increase of BMP-2 bioavailability, thus paving the way toward development
of more effective, osteoinductive tooth-derived materials for bone
regeneration and replacement.

Abstract
Dental pulp is a highly specialized tissue that preserves teeth. It is important to maintain the capabilities of dental pulp before a pulpectomy by creating a local restoration of the dentin-pulp complex from residual dental pulp. The articles identified were selected by two reviewers based on entry and exit criteria. All relevant articles indexed in PubMed, Springer, Science Direct, and Scopus with no limitations from 1961 to 2016 were searched. Factors investigated in the selected articles included the following key words: Dentin-Pulp Complex, Regeneration, Tissue Engineering, Scaffold, Stem Cell, and Growth Factors. Of the 233 abstracts retrieved, the papers which were selected had evaluated the clinical aspects of the application of dentin-pulp regeneration. Generally, this study has introduced a new approach to provoke the regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex after a pulpectomy, so that exogenous growth factors and the scaffold are able to induce cells and blood vessels from the residual dental pulp in the tooth root canal. This study further presents a new strategy for local regeneration therapy of the dentin-pulp complex. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the potential beneficial effects derived from the interaction of dental materials with the dentin-pulp complex as well as potential future developments in this exciting field.

Abstract
Adrenomedullin (AM) could promote the proliferation, the odontogenic differentiation and inhibit the apoptosis of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). AM in combination with DPSCs may be an effective strategy for pulp repair. However, there was no report on the mechanisms of AM in the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which AM promotes the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Freshly extracted wisdom teeth were obtained from 27 patients. Cells at passage 3 to passage 5 were used in this study. DPSCs were treated with or without 10-7 M AM in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium culture, and then the accumulated calcium deposition was analyzed after 21 days by using alizarin red S staining. Odontogenic differentiation markers were determined by western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR. Western blot analysis results showed that AM had the capability of promoting the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs and AM could enhance the phosphorylation of CREB and up-regulate the expression of BMP2. H89 is a CREB inhibitor which can inhibit the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs through inhibiting the phosphorylation of CREB. Noggin could inhibit the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs through inhibiting the activity of BMP2. These results indicated that AM could promote the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs by upregulating the expression of BMP2 through the CREB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Signaling pathways are used reiteratively in different developmental processes yet produce distinct cell fates through specific downstream transcription factors. In this study, we used tooth root development as a model with which to investigate how the BMP signaling pathway regulates transcriptional complexes to direct the fate determination of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We first identified the MSC population supporting mouse molar root growth as Gli1+ cells. Using a Gli1-driven Cre-mediated recombination system, our results provide the first in vivo evidence that BMP signaling activity is required for the odontogenic differentiation of MSCs. Specifically, we identified the transcription factors Pax9, Klf4, Satb2 and Lhx8 as being downstream of BMP signaling and expressed in a spatially restricted pattern that is potentially involved in determining distinct cellular identities within the dental mesenchyme. Finally, we found that overactivation of one key transcription factor, Klf4, which is associated with the odontogenic region, promotes odontogenic differentiation of MSCs. Collectively, our results demonstrate the functional significance of BMP signaling in regulating MSC fate during root development and shed light on how BMP signaling can achieve functional specificity in regulating diverse organ development.

Abstract
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to self-renew. They have been discovered in many adult tissues, including teeth. Dental Pulp Mesenchymal Stem Cells (DP-MSCs) are involved in dental repair by activation of growth factors, released after caries and have the ability to regenerate a dentin-pulp-like complex. The molecular/cellular research gives the possibility to grow new tissues and biological structures for clinical applications, providing cells for therapies including cell transplantation and tissue engineering. In this study DP-MSCs were derived from dental pulp of 10 donors. To evaluate material toxicity, after in vitro isolation, the cells were seeded on mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Initial light microscopy investigation of cells revealed no signs of cell death due to toxicity or infection, on the contrary the scaffolds supplied an excellent support for cell structures, the cells proliferated and adhered to substrate. Similar observation was seen in scanning electron microscopy, in particular the cells had proliferated and spread, covering a considerable part of the surface of the biomaterials investigated, with an elaborate form of attachment, in fact, the cells formed a continuous layer on the upper surface of the MTA. In conclusion, the aim of this study is to demonstrate that DP-MSCs combined with MTA could be a potential source for regenerative medicine, encouraging further study to evaluate the new dentin formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regenerative endodontic procedures use bioactive molecules (BMs), which are active signaling molecules that initiate and maintain cell responses and interactions. When applied in a bolus form, they may undergo rapid diffusion and denaturation resulting in failure to induce the desired effects on target cells. METHODS The controlled release of BMs from a biomaterial carrier is expected to enhance and accelerate functional tissue engineering during regenerative endodontic procedures. This narrative review presents a comprehensive review of different polymeric BM release strategies with relevance to dentin-pulp engineering. RESULTS Carrier systems designed to allow the preprogrammed release of BMs in a spatial- and temporal-controlled manner would aid in mimicking the natural wound healing process while overcoming some of the challenges faced in clinical translation of regenerative endodontic procedures. CONCLUSIONS Spatial- and temporal-controlled BM release systems have become an exciting option in dentin-pulp tissue engineering; nonetheless, further validation of this concept and knowledge is required for their potential clinical translation.

Abstract
Treatment strategies for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) remain controversial. Although the AAOMS suggests a conservative approach, a surgical management with necrosectomy is often required when conservative management has failed. Moreover, recent studies have shown promising results using an early stage surgical treatment. Over the past decade, cell-based bone regeneration utilizing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) received increased attention. MSCs are known to promote wound healing and induce new bone formation in compromised tissue. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to assess the role of MSCs in the management of MRONJ. This study included 6 patients referred to our department with the diagnosis of MRONJ. Upon informed consent, the patients underwent surgical resection of necrotic bone followed by MSCs grafting. The MSCs were separated from bone marrow cells aspirated from the iliac crest using a bone marrow aspirate concentrate system. The MSCs were grafted into the defect with autologous thrombin and the defect was covered with a collagen membrane. In all cases, bony edges were rounded and the wound was closed using a three-layered technique. In the follow-up from 12 to 54 months, all patients including those who had impaired conditions, sepsis, or pathological fracture, showed satisfactory healing with no signs of wound infection. This pilot study indicated that surgical management in combination with MSCs transplantation seems to be a promising treatment modality in the therapy of MRONJ.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy is an attractive approach to bone tissue regeneration. Nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to facilitate osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. To enhance osteogenic differentiation of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs), we designed a method for in situ delivery of exogenous NO to these cells. A NO donor, polyethylenimine/NONOate, was incorporated into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres to deliver NO to the cells for an extended period of time under in vitro culture conditions. A hybrid aggregate of GMSCs and NO-releasing microspheres was prepared by the hanging drop technique. Confocal microscopy revealed homogeneous arrangement of the stem cells and microspheres in heterospheroids. Western blot analysis and live-dead imaging showed no significant change in cell viability. Importantly, the in situ delivery of NO within the heterospheroids enhanced osteogenic differentiation indicated by a 1.2-fold increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and an approximately 10% increase in alizarin red staining. In addition, a low dose of NO promoted proliferation of the GMSCs in this 3D system. Thus, delivery of the NO-releasing microsphers to induce differentiation of stem cells within this three dimensional system may be one of possible strategies to direct differentiation of a stem cell-based therapeutic agent toward a specific lineage.

Abstract
Dental pulp is a vital organ of a tooth fully protected by enamel and dentin. When the pulp is exposed due to cariogenic or iatrogenic injuries, it is often capped with biocompatible materials in order to expedite pulpal wound healing. The ultimate goal is to regenerate reparative dentin, a physical barrier that functions as a "biological seal" and protects the underlying pulp tissue. Although this direct pulp-capping procedure has long been used in dentistry, the underlying molecular mechanism of pulpal wound healing and reparative dentin formation is still poorly understood. To induce reparative dentin, pulp capping has been performed experimentally in large animals, but less so in mice, presumably due to their small sizes and the ensuing technical difficulties. Here, we present a detailed, step-by-step method of performing a pulp-capping procedure in mice, including the preparation of a Class-I-like cavity, the placement of pulp-capping materials, and the restoration procedure using dental composite. Our pulp-capping mouse model will be instrumental in investigating the fundamental molecular mechanisms of pulpal wound healing in the context of reparative dentin in vivo by enabling the use of transgenic or knockout mice that are widely available in the research community.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic treatment has yielded excellent clinical outcomes, but only several animal studies have shown the robust regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. The biological molecules, if properly delivered, can enkindle regeneration of dental pulp and dentin rather than repair with tissues of periodontal origin. This review details the biological significance of regenerating the pulp-dentin complex, the effects of biological cues in pulp regeneration, and the delivery strategies of biological molecules to enhance the outcomes of regenerative endodontic therapy.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine the in vivo performance of three different materials as scaffolds for dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) undergoing induced odontogenic differentiation. An odontogenic medium modified by the addition of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 was used in the experimental groups to induce differentiation. Mesenchymal stem cell medium was used in the control groups. DPSC were transplanted onto the backs of mice via three scaffolds: copolymer of L-lactide and DL-lactide (PLDL), copolymer of DL-lactide (PDL) and hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP). The expression levels of dentin sialo-phosphoprotein (DSPP), dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1), enamelysin/matrix metalloproteinase 20 (MMP20) and phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on X chromosome (PHEX) were analysed using RT-PCR. The expressions in the experimental groups were compared to those in the control groups. The transcript expressions at 6 and 12 weeks were significantly different for all scaffolds (p < 0.05), except for the expression of DSPP in the PLDL group with regard to the time variable. Although there was a decrease in the expression of enamelysin/MMP20 in PLDL and HA/TCP at 12 weeks, all other expressions increased and reached their highest level at 12 weeks. The highest DSPP expression was in the PDL group (p < 0.05). The highest expression of DMP1 was detected in the HA/TCP group (p < 0.05). The highest expression of PHEX was in the PLDL group (p < 0.05). Consequently, PLDL and PDL seemed to be promising scaffold candidates for odontogenic regeneration at least as HA-TCP, when they were applied with the DPSC induced for odontogenic differentiation.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors. After the retraction of the article [Hiyama T, Ozeki N, Mogi M, Yamaguchi H, Kawai R, Nakata K, Kondo A, Nakamura H. 2013. Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 in Odontoblastic Cells Derived from Ips Cells: Unique Proliferation Response as Odontoblastic Cells Derived from ES Cells. PLoS ONE 8(12): e83563. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0083563] which contained fabricated/falsified data, the authors attempted to confirm original data for the results presented in their related publications. As a result, they reached a conclusion that there were no original data for the results presented in several their publications. This article was written on the basis of the seven publications retracted or to be retracted and it is no longer reliable. Reference 24: N. Ozeki, M. Mogi, R. Kawai, H. Yamaguchi, T. Hiyama, K.
