Association between genetic factors and molar-incisor hypomineralisation or hypomineralised second primary molar: A systematic review. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 152:105716. [PMID: 37210809 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between genetic factors and molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and/or hypomineralised second primary molars by means of a systematic review. DESIGN A search was performed in Medline-PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science databases; manual search and search in gray literature were also performed. Selection of articles was performed independently by two researchers. A third examiner was involved in cases of disagreement. Data extraction was performed using an Excel® spreadsheet and independent analysis was performed for each outcome. RESULTS Sixteen studies were included. There was an association between MIH and genetic variants related to amelogenesis, immune response, xenobiotic detoxification and other genes. Moreover, interactions between amelogenesis and immune response genes, and SNPs in the aquaporin gene and vitamin D receptors were associated with MIH. Greater agreement of MIH was found in pairs of monozygotic twins than dizygotic twins. The heritability of MIH was 20 %. Hypomineralised second primary molars was associated with SNPs in the hypoxia-related HIF-1 gene and methylation in genes related to amelogenesis. CONCLUSION With very low or low certainty of evidence, an association was observed between MIH and SNPs in genes associated with amelogenesis, immune response, xenobiotic detox and ion transport. Interactions between genes related to amelogenesis and immune response as well as aquaporin genes were associated to MIH. With very low certainty of evidence, hypomineralised second primary molars was associated to a hypoxia-related gene and to methylation in genes related to amelogenesis. Moreover, higher agreement of MIH in pairs of monozygotic twins than dizygotic twins was observed.

[PMID: 35352320 PMCID: PMC10024159 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-022-01781-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc) are transcription factors that play a function in the immune response and in osteoclast differentiation. In the present work, we define the function of NFATc2 in chondrogenic and osteogenic cells. METHODS Nfatc2loxP/loxP and Nfatc1loxP/loxP;Nfatc2loxP/loxP conditional mice were crossed with Prx1-Cre transgenics to inactivate Nfatc2 singly and with Nfatc1. Femurs and vertebrae were examined by microcomputed tomography (µCT) X-Ray images and histology and analyzed for the presence of osteochondromas. RESULTS µCT demonstrated that Prx1-Cre;Nfatc2∆/∆ female mice had transient osteopenia and male mice did not have a cancellous or a cortical bone phenotype when compared to control mice. In contrast, the dual inactivation of Nfatc1 and Nfatc2 in Prx1-expressing cells resulted in cancellous osteopenia and small bones at 1 month of age in both sexes. Nfatc1;Nfatc2 deleted mice exhibited a ~ 50% decrease in bone volume and connectivity. Total bone area, periosteal and endocortical bone perimeters and femoral length were reduced indicating smaller bones. As the mice matured, the shortening of the femoral length persisted, but the osteopenic phenotype resolved and cancellous femoral bone of 4-month-old Nfatc1;Nfatc2 deleted mice was not different from controls although male mice had vertebral osteopenia. In addition, Nfatc1;Nfatc2 deleted mice displayed distortion of the distal metaphysis and, as they matured, the articular presence of mineralized tumors with the appearance of osteochondromas. CONCLUSION Our studies reveal that NFATc1 and NFATc2 are necessary for optimal bone homeostasis and the suppression of osteochondroma formation.

Dynamic transcriptome analysis of NFAT family in guided bone regeneration with occlusive periosteum in swine model. J Orthop Surg Res 2022; 17:364. [PMID: 35883195 PMCID: PMC9327338 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-022-03252-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the dynamic expression of NFAT family of periosteum in guided bone regeneration process. MATERIAL AND METHODS The swine ribs on one side were used as the trauma group and the contralateral side as the control group. After rib segment was removed, periosteum was sutured to form a closed cavity mimicking guided bone regeneration. The periosteum and regenerated bone tissue were collected at nine time points for gene sequencing and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The expression data of each member were extracted for analysis. Expression correlations among various members were analyzed. RESULTS Staining showed the guided bone regeneration was almost completed 1 month after the operation with later stage for bone remodeling. The expression levels of each member in both groups changed greatly, especially within postoperative 1.5 months. The expression of NFATc1 and NFATC2IP in trauma group was significantly correlated with those of control group. The foldchange of each member also had large fluctuations especially within 1.5 months. In the trauma group, NFATc2 and NFATc4 were significantly upregulated, and there was a significant aggregation correlation of NFAT family expression between the various time points within one month, similar to the "pattern-block" phenomenon. CONCLUSION This study revealed the dynamic expression of NFAT family in guided bone regeneration, and provided a reference for the specific mechanism. The first 1.5 months is a critical period and should be paid attention to. The significant high-expression of NFATc2 and NFATc4 may role importantly in this process, which needs further research to verify it.

Bisphosphonates Reduce Smoking-Induced Osteoporotic-Like Alterations by Regulating RANKL/OPG in an Osteoblast and Osteoclast Co-Culture Model. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 22:ijms22010053.

Abstract
Co-culture models have become mandatory for obtaining better insights into bone homeostasis, which relies on the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Cigarette smoking (CS) has been proven to increase the risk of osteoporosis; however, there is currently no proven treatment for osteoporosis in smokers excluding cessation. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are classical anti-osteoclastic drugs that are commonly used in examining the suitability of bone co-culture systems in vitro as well as to verify the response to osteoporotic stimuli. In the present study, we tested the effects of BPs on cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-affected cells in the co-culture of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Our results showed that BPs were able to reduce CSE-induced osteoporotic alterations in the co-culture of osteoblasts and osteoclasts such as decreased matrix remodeling, enhanced osteoclast activation, and an up-regulated receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kB-ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio. In summary, BPs may be an effective alternative therapy for reversing osteoporotic alterations in smokers, and the potential mechanism is through modulation of the RANKL/OPG ratio.

Abstract
The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is a family of cells including progenitors, circulating blood monocytes, resident tissue macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) present in every tissue in the body. To test the relationships between markers and transcriptomic diversity in the MPS, we collected from National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (NCBI-GEO) a total of 466 quality RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data sets generated from mouse MPS cells isolated from bone marrow, blood, and multiple tissues. The primary data were randomly downsized to a depth of 10 million reads and requantified. The resulting data set was clustered using the network analysis tool BioLayout. A sample-to-sample matrix revealed that MPS populations could be separated based upon tissue of origin. Cells identified as classical DC subsets, cDC1s and cDC2s, and lacking Fcgr1 (encoding the protein CD64) were contained within the MPS cluster, no more distinct than other MPS cells. A gene-to-gene correlation matrix identified large generic coexpression clusters associated with MPS maturation and innate immune function. Smaller coexpression gene clusters, including the transcription factors that drive them, showed higher expression within defined isolated cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and DCs isolated from specific tissues. They include a cluster containing Lyve1 that implies a function in endothelial cell (EC) homeostasis, a cluster of transcripts enriched in intestinal macrophages, and a generic lymphoid tissue cDC cluster associated with Ccr7. However, transcripts encoding Adgre1, Itgax, Itgam, Clec9a, Cd163, Mertk, Mrc1, Retnla, and H2-a/e (encoding class II major histocompatibility complex [MHC] proteins) and many other proposed macrophage subset and DC lineage markers each had idiosyncratic expression profiles. Coexpression of immediate early genes (for example, Egr1, Fos, Dusp1) and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (tumour necrosis factor [Tnf], Il1b, Ccl3/4) indicated that all tissue disaggregation and separation protocols activate MPS cells. Tissue-specific expression clusters indicated that all cell isolation procedures also co-purify other unrelated cell types that may interact with MPS cells in vivo. Comparative analysis of RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data from the same lung cell populations indicated that MPS heterogeneity implied by global cluster analysis may be even greater at a single-cell level. This analysis highlights the power of large data sets to identify the diversity of MPS cellular phenotypes and the limited predictive value of surface markers to define lineages, functions, or subpopulations.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by reduced bone mineral density and impaired bone strength and is currently one of the leading causes of fracture and morbidity among the elderly worldwide. The pathological generation of osteoclasts is an important event in the development of extensive bone resorption. Thus, the development of a drug that targets osteoclasts may be beneficial in treating osteoporosis. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the effects of senkyunolide H (SNH), an active component extracted from ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, on osteoporosis through a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments. First, we found that SNH had a therapeutic effect in ovariectomized mice by inhibiting osteoclast formation. Then, the inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation was confirmed in vitro. Further western blotting analysis revealed that SNH downregulated receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κΒ ligand-induced NF-κB signaling activation, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in the mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. These data indicated that SNH may be a potential treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
The present study defines the function of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1 and NFATc2 in osteoblast function in vivo and in vitro. Nfatc1loxP/loxP , Nfatc2loxP/loxP , and Nfatc1loxP/loxP ;Nfatc2loxP/loxP conditional mice were mated with BGLAP-Cre transgenics to inactivate Nfatc1 and Nfatc2 singly and in combination in osteoblasts. Microcomputed tomography demonstrated that male and female conditionally inactivated Nfatc1, Nfatc2 and dual Nfatc1;Nfatc2 mice had osteopenia at Lumbar 3 (L3) sites when compared to littermate controls. However, the Nfatc1 and Nfatc2 inactivation singly and in combination in Bglap-expressing osteoblasts did not result in an appreciable phenotype at femoral sites. Bone histomorphometry of L3 confirmed the osteopenic phenotype and demonstrated that Nfatc1;Nfatc2 inactivated male mice had a significant decrease in osteoblast number and in osteoblast surface and osteoid surface. The dual downregulation of Nfatc1 and Nfatc2 in bone marrow stromal cells caused a decrease in Alpl and Bglap expression, confirming a role of these transcription factors in osteoblast function. In conclusion, our studies reveal that NFATc1 and NFATc2 are necessary for optimal vertebral, but not femoral, bone homeostasis in vivo and osteoblast differentiation in vitro.

Transcriptome analysis of ankylosed primary molars with infraocclusion. Int J Oral Sci 2020; 12:7.

Abstract
Primary molar ankylosis with infraocclusion can retard dental arch development and cause dental asymmetry. Despite its widespread prevalence, little is known about its molecular etiology and pathogenesis. To address this, RNA sequencing was used to generate transcriptomes of furcal bone from infraoccluded (n = 7) and non-infraoccluded (n = 9) primary second molars, all without succeeding biscuspids. Of the 18 529 expressed genes, 432 (2.3%) genes were differentially expressed between the two groups (false discovery rate < 0.05). Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis showed clear separation in gene expression between infraoccluded and non-infraoccluded samples. Pathway analyses indicated that molar ankylosis is associated with the expression of genes consistent with the cellular inflammatory response and epithelial cell turnover. Independent validation using six expressed genes by immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the corresponding proteins are strongly expressed in the developing molar tooth germ, in particular the dental follicle and inner enamel epithelium. The descendants of these structures include the periodontal ligament, cementum, bone and epithelial rests of Malassez; tissues that are central to the ankylotic process. We therefore propose that ankylosis involves an increased inflammatory response associated with disruptions to the developmental remnants of the dental follicle and epithelial rests of Malassez.

Abstract
Lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS), a genetic disorder characterized by meningoceles and skeletal abnormalities, is associated with NOTCH3 mutations. We created a mouse model of LMS (Notch3tm1.1Ecan ) by introducing a tandem termination codon in the Notch3 locus upstream of the proline (P), glutamic acid (E), serine (S) and threonine (T) domain. Microcomputed tomography demonstrated that Notch3tm1.1Ecan mice exhibit osteopenia. The cancellous bone osteopenia was no longer observed after the intraperitoneal administration of antibodies directed to the negative regulatory region (NRR) of Notch3. The anti-Notch3 NRR antibody suppressed the expression of Hes1, Hey1, and Hey2 (Notch target genes), and decreased Tnfsf11 (receptor activator of NF Kappa B ligand) messenger RNA in Notch3tm1.1Ecan osteoblast (OB) cultures. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) from Notch3tm1.1Ecan mutants exhibited enhanced osteoclastogenesis in culture, and this was increased in cocultures with Notch3tm1.1Ecan OB. Osteoclastogenesis was suppressed by anti-Notch3 NRR antibodies in Notch3tm1.1Ecan OB/BMM cocultures. In conclusion, the cancellous bone osteopenia of Notch3tm1.1Ecan mutants is reversed by anti-Notch3 NRR antibodies.
