Abstract
Purpose Angiogenesis is a tightly controlled process that initiates the formation of new vessels and its dysfunction can lead to life-threatening diseases. Apoptotic extracellular vesicles (ApoEVs) have emerged as a proangiogenic agent with high safety and isolation efficiency profile, and ApoEVs from supernumerary tooth-derived pulp stem cells (SNTSC-ApoEVs) have their unique advantages with an easily accessible parental cell source and non-invasive cell harvesting. However, the detailed characteristics of SNTSC-ApoEVs are largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the proangiogenic capacity and function molecule of SNTSC-ApoEVs. Methods SNTSC-ApoEVs were isolated and characterized. In vitro effects of SNTSC-ApoEVs on the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were evaluated by CCK-8, wound healing, transwell, and tube formation assays. The mRNA and protein levels of proangiogenic genes were quantified by qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analysis. A Matrigel plug model was established in 6-week-old male nu/nu mice for one week, and the in vivo impact of SNTSC-ApoEVs on micro-vessel formation was assessed by histological analysis. Proteomic analysis and RNA sequencing were performed to explore the active ingredients and underlying mechanisms. Results SNTSC-ApoEVs enhanced the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVECs in vitro. In the Matrigel plug model in vivo, SNTSC-ApoEVs promoted CD31-positive luminal structure formation. Apart from expressing general ApoEV markers, SNTSC-ApoEVs were enriched with multiple proteins related to extracellular matrix-cell interactions. Mechanistically, SNTSC-ApoEVs transferred COL1A1 to HUVECs and promoted endothelial functions by activating the PI3K/Akt/VEGF cascade. Conclusion SNTSC-ApoEVs can promote angiogenesis by transferring the functional molecule COL1A1 and activating the PI3K/Akt/VEGF pathway, making SNTSC-ApoEVs a promising strategy for the treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Orthodontic patients receiving treatment at a dental school were selected through convenience sampling. Intra-oral photographs were used to assess DDE, which were classified according to the criteria proposed by Ghanim et al. (2015) by a single calibrated examiner (Kappa>0.80). Enamel hypoplasia, molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), hypomimineralized second primary molar (HSPM), and non-MIH/HSPM demarcated opacities were considered for the analysis. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells. The SNPs in VDR (rs7975232) and PHT (rs694, rs6256, and rs307247) were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Statistical analyses were performed using the PLINK software (version 1.03, designed by Shaun Purcell, EUA). Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were performed at a significance level of 5%. Ninety-one (n=91) patients (49 females and 42 males) (mean age of 14.1±5.8 years) were included. The frequency of DDE was 38.5% (35 patients). Genotype distributions were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No significant statistical association was found between DDE and the SNPs evaluated. A borderline association (p=0.09) was observed between DDE and the CC haplotype for SNP rs7975232 in VDR. In conclusion, the selected SNPs in VDR and PTH genes were not associated with DDE in the studied samples.

Abstract
Biophysical and biochemical cues of biomaterials can regulate cell behaviors. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in pulp tissues can differentiate to odontoblast-like cells and secrete reparative dentin to form a barrier to protect the underlying pulp tissues and enable complete pulp healing. Promotion of the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs is essential for dentin regeneration. The effects of the surface potentials of biomaterials on the adhesion and odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs remain unclear. Here, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) films with different surface potentials were prepared by the spin-coating technique and the contact poling method. The cytoskeletal organization of DPSCs grown on P(VDF-TrFE) films was studied by immunofluorescence staining. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), the lateral detachment forces of DPSCs from P(VDF-TrFE) films were quantified. The effects of electrical stimulation generated from P(VDF-TrFE) films on odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The unpolarized, positively polarized, and negatively polarized films had surface potentials of -52.9, +902.4, and -502.2 mV, respectively. DPSCs on both negatively and positively polarized P(VDF-TrFE) films had larger cell areas and length-to-width ratios than those on the unpolarized films (P < 0.05). During the detachment of DPSCs from P(VDF-TrFE) films, the average magnitudes of the maximum detachment forces were 29.4, 72.1, and 53.9 nN for unpolarized, positively polarized, and negatively polarized groups, respectively (P < 0.05). The polarized films enhanced the mineralization activities and increased the expression levels of the odontogenic-related proteins of DPSCs compared to the unpolarized films (P < 0.05). The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway was involved in the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs as induced by surface charge. In vivo, the polarized P(VDF-TrFE) films enhanced adhesion of DPSCs and promoted the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs by electrical stimulation, demonstrating a potential application of electroactive biomaterials for reparative dentin formation in direct pulp capping.

Bioactive prosthesis interface compositing variable-stiffness hydrogels regulates stem cells fates to facilitate osseointegration through mechanotransduction. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129073.

Abstract
Fluid hydrogel is proper to be incorporated with rigid porous prosthesis interface, acting as a soft carrier to support cells and therapeutic factors, to enhance osseointegration. In the previous study, we innovatively utilized self-healing supramolecular hydrogel as 3D cell culture platform to incorporate with 3D printed porous titanium alloy scaffold, constructing a novel bioactive interface. However, the concrete relationship and mechanism of hydrogel stiffness influencing cellular behaviors of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) within the interface are still inconclusive. Herein, we synthesized a series of supramolecular hydrogels with variable stiffness as extracellular matrix (ECM) to enhance the osseointegration of 3D printed prosthesis interface. BMSCs exposed to stiff hydrogel received massive environmental mechanical stimulations, subsequently transducing biophysical cues into biochemical signal through mechanotransduction process. The mRNA-sequencing analysis revealed that the activated FAK-MAPK pathway played significant roles in promoting osteogenic differentiation, thus contributing to a strong osseointegration. Our work preliminarily demonstrated the relationship of ECM stiffness and osteogenic differentiation trend of BMSCs, and optimized stiffness of hydrogel within a certain range benefitting for osteogenic differentiation and prosthesis interface osseointegration, providing a valuable insight into the development of orthopaedic implants equipped with osteogenic mechanotransduction ability.

Abstract
In the oral and maxillofacial region, the treatment of severe bone defects, caused by fractures, cancers, congenital abnormalities, etc., remains a great challenge. In addition, neurological disorders are frequently accompanied by these bone defects or the treatments for them. Therefore, novel bone regenerative techniques and methods to repair nerve injury are eagerly sought. Among them, strategies using dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are promising options. Human DPSCs can be collected easily from extracted teeth and are now considered a type of mesenchymal stem cell with higher clonogenic and proliferative potential. DPSCs have been getting attention as a cell source for bone and nerve regeneration. In this article, we reviewed the latest studies on osteogenic or neural differentiation of DPSCs as well as bone or neural regeneration methods using DPSCs and discussed the potential of DPSCs for bone and nerve tissue regeneration.

Abstract
As clusters of peptides or steroids capable of high-efficiency information transmission, hormones have been substantiated to coordinate metabolism, growth, development, and other physiological processes, especially in bone physiology and repair metabolism. In recent years, the application of hormones for implant osseointegration has become a research hotspot. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant reports on endogenous hormones and their corresponding supplementary preparations to explore the association between hormones and the prognosis of implants. We also discuss the effects and mechanisms of insulin, parathyroid hormone, melatonin, vitamin D, and growth hormone on osseointegration at the molecular and body levels to provide a foothold and guide future research on the systemic conditions that affect the implantation process and expand the relative contraindications of the implant, and the pre-and post-operative precautions. This review shows that systemic hormones can regulate the osseointegration of oral implants through endogenous or exogenous drug-delivery methods.

Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have attracted tremendous attention in tissue regeneration engineering due to their excellent multidirectional differentiation potential. Photobiomodulation (PBM) using low-level light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers has been proved to promote the osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells. However, the effect of LEDs on osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs has little published data. In this work, the effect of blue LEDs with different energy densities of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 J/cm2 on osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was examined by using in vitro ALP staining, ALP activity, mineralization, and real-time PCR. The results showed that compared with the control group, osteogenic differentiation was significantly enhanced in blue LEDs treated groups. As the energy density increased, the level of osteogenesis initially increased and then decreased reaching the highest level at 6 J/cm2. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a Ca2+ ion channel, was believed to be a potential player in osteogenesis by photobiomodulation. By immunofluorescence assay, calcium influx assay, PCR, and ALP staining, it was shown that blue LEDs irradiation can increase the activity of TRPV1 and intracellular calcium levels similarly to the agonist of TRPV1 capsaicin. Additionally, pretreatment with capsazepine, a selective TRPV1 inhibitor, was able to abrogate the osteogenic effect of blue LEDs. In conclusion, these findings proposed that blue LEDs can promote the osteogenesis of hDPSCs within the appropriate range (4-8 J/cm2) during culture of osteogenic medium, and TRPV1/Ca2+ may be an essential signaling pathway involved in blue LEDs-induced osteogenesis, providing new insights for the use of hDPSCs in tissue regeneration engineering.

BMP Signaling Pathway in Dentin Development and Diseases. Cells 2022; 11:cells11142216.

Abstract
BMP signaling plays an important role in dentin development. BMPs and antagonists regulate odontoblast differentiation and downstream gene expression via canonical Smad and non-canonical Smad signaling pathways. The interaction of BMPs with their receptors leads to the formation of complexes and the transduction of signals to the canonical Smad signaling pathway (for example, BMP ligands, receptors, and Smads) and the non-canonical Smad signaling pathway (for example, MAPKs, p38, Erk, JNK, and PI3K/Akt) to regulate dental mesenchymal stem cell/progenitor proliferation and differentiation during dentin development and homeostasis. Both the canonical Smad and non-canonical Smad signaling pathways converge at transcription factors, such as Dlx3, Osx, Runx2, and others, to promote the differentiation of dental pulp mesenchymal cells into odontoblasts and downregulated gene expressions, such as those of DSPP and DMP1. Dysregulated BMP signaling causes a number of tooth disorders in humans. Mutation or knockout of BMP signaling-associated genes in mice results in dentin defects which enable a better understanding of the BMP signaling networks underlying odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. This review summarizes the recent advances in our understanding of BMP signaling in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. It includes discussion of the expression of BMPs, their receptors, and the implicated downstream genes during dentinogenesis. In addition, the structures of BMPs, BMP receptors, antagonists, and dysregulation of BMP signaling pathways associated with dentin defects are described.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) utilizing tissue engineering approach can promote the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex to restore pulp vascularization, neuralization, immune function and tubular dentin, therefore the regenerated pulp-dentin complex will have normal function. Multiple factors may significantly affect the efficacy of RET, including stem cells, biosignaling molecules and biomaterial scaffolds. Stem cells derived from dental tissues (such as dental pulp stem cells) exhibit certain advantages in RET. Combined application of multiple signaling molecules and activation of signal transduction pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin and BMP/Smad play pivotal roles in enhancing the potential of stem cell migration, proliferation, odontoblastic differentiation, and nerve and blood vessel regeneration. Biomaterials suitable for RET include naturally-derived materials and artificially synthetic materials. Artificially synthetic materials should imitate natural tissues for biomimetic modification in order to realize the temporal and spatial regulation of pulp-dentin complex regeneration. The realization of pulp-dentin complex regeneration depends on two strategies: stem cell transplantation and stem cell homing. Stem cell homing strategy does not require the isolation and culture of stem cells in vitro, so is better for clinical application. However, in order to achieve the true regeneration of pulp-dentin complex, problems related to improving the success rate of stem cell homing and promoting their proliferation and differentiation need to be solved. This article reviews the influencing factors of pulp-dentin complex regeneration and related biological strategies, and discusses the future research direction of RET, to provide reference for clinical translation and application of RET.

Abstract
Regeneration of periodontal hard tissues damaged by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is essential for tooth stability and dental health. Irisin, a myokine secreted by skeletal muscle, is involved in different biological processes, such as myogenesis, adipogenesis, neurogenesis and osteogenesis. However, whether irisin regulates the osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cell (hPDLCs), especially under P. gingivalis-triggered inflammation, remains unknown. In this study, we verified the suppression role of P. gingivalis in the osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Also, compared with the control cells, hPDLCs with irisin stimulation showed higher expression of osteogenic-/cementogenic-related markers, ALP activity and mineralization ability, as measured by RT-qPCR, western blotting, ALP staining and Alizarin red staining, respectively. Moreover, the osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation-facilitating role of irisin was also demonstrated under P. gingivalis-elicited inflammation, which implied a rescue function of irisin in P. gingivalis-suppressed hPDLC differentiation. Finally, the underlying mechanism involved in the process was explored. We observed that the p38 signaling pathway was activated during irisin-accelerated hPDLC differentiation. Furthermore, hPDLC differentiation was weakened after the p38 inhibitor was applied. In summary, we found that irisin can facilitate the osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of hPDLCs partially through the p38 signaling pathway, which may provide evidence for the regeneration of P. gingivalis-destroyed periodontal hard tissues.

Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are considered valuable for regenerative therapy. Although glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is known to play a critical role in cell differentiation, its mechanism of the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the effect and underlying mechanisms of GLUT1 on odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. hDPSCs was treated with phloretin (Phl), a GLUT1 inhibitor. The impact of GLUT1 on the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs was analysed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, alizarin-red staining, and western blotting. Glucose uptake by hDPSCs was significantly inhibited by Phl treatment. Overall, inhibition of GLUT1 upregulated the expression of DSPP, DMP1, RUNX2, and OCN and increased the formation of mineralised nodules on odontogenic induction of hDPSCs. The levels of phosphorylated mTOR and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K) were increased after GLUT1 inhibition and decreased by an mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin, Rapa) during the odontogenic induction of hDPSCs. Moreover, mTOR suppression decreased the expression of the genes described above and formation of mineralised nodules. These results suggest that inhibition of GLUT1 promoted the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs via the mTORC1-p70S6K axis, providing a foundation for further application of hDPSCs in regenerative therapy.

Abstract
The odontoblastic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) contributes to pulp-dentin regeneration. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is considered to be a critical epithelial signal to induce cell differentiation during odontogenesis and has been widely applied to clinical periodontal tissue regeneration. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of EMD on DPSCs proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation, as well as the underlying mechanisms. We conducted in vitro and in vivo researches to get a comprehensive understanding of EMD. In vitro phase: cell proliferation was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay; then, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and staining, alizarin red staining, real-time RT-PCR, and western blot analysis were conducted to determine the odontoblastic potential and involvement of MAPK signaling pathways. In vivo phase: after ensuring the biocompatibility of VitroGel 3D-RGD via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the hydrogel mixture was subcutaneously injected into nude mice followed by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. The results revealed that EMD did not interfere with DPSCs proliferation but promoted the odontoblastic differentiation of DPSCs in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, blocking the MAPK pathways suppressed the EMD-enhanced differentiation of DPSCs. Finally, VitroGel 3D-RGD could well support the proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration of DPSCs. Overall, this study demonstrates that EMD enhances the odontoblastic differentiation of DPSCs through triggering MAPK signaling pathways. The findings provide a new insight into the mechanism by which EMD affects DPSCs differentiation and proposes EMD as a promising candidate for future stem cell therapy in endodontics.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are attractive therapeutic cells for tissue engineering to treat bone defects. However, how the cells can differentiate into bone remains unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that participate in many biological processes, including stem cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated the profiles and functions of lncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs. We identified 343 lncRNAs differentially expressed during osteogenic differentiation, of which 115 were upregulated and 228 were downregulated. We further analyzed these lncRNAs using bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. GO and KEGG pathway analysis showed that ‘intracellular part’ and ‘Phosphatidylinositol signaling system’ were the most correlated molecular function and pathway, respectively. We selected the top 10 upregulated lncRNAs to construct six competing endogenous RNA networks. We validated the impact of the lncRNA H19 on osteogenic differentiation by overexpressing it in hUCMSCs. Overall, our results pave the way to detailed studies of the molecular mechanisms of hUCMSC osteogenic differentiation, and they provide a new theoretical basis to guide the therapeutic application of hUCMSCs.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) are two peptides that regulate mineral ion homeostasis, skeletal development, and bone turnover by activating parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R). PTH1R signaling is of profound clinical interest for its potential to stimulate bone formation and regeneration. Recent pre-clinical animal studies and clinical trials have investigated the effects of PTH and PTHrP analogs in the orofacial region. Dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are targets of PTH1R signaling and have long been known as major factors in tissue repair and regeneration. Previous studies have begun to reveal important roles for PTH1R signaling in modulating the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs in the orofacial region. A better understanding of the molecular networks and underlying mechanisms for modulating MSCs in dental diseases will pave the way for the therapeutic applications of PTH and PTHrP in the future. Here we review recent studies involving dental MSCs, focusing on relationships with PTH1R. We also summarize recent basic and clinical observations of PTH and PTHrP treatment to help understand their use in MSCs-based dental and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are one promising cell source of mesenchymal stem cells in bone tissue engineering. However, it remains unknown that the molecules and signaling pathways involved in osteogenesis of DPSCs. Hence, this study investigated the functional roles and underlying mechanisms of circRFWD2 during osteogenesis of DPSCs. Knockdown of circRFWD2 suppressed osteogenesis of DPSCs significantly. Mechanistically, circRFWD2 could crosstalk with miR-6817-5p, which was an inhibitor of DPSCs osteogenesis. MiR-6817-5p functioned as a sponge of BMPR2, which regulated the phosphorylation of Smad5 and p38 to impact osteogenesis activity of DPSCs. Collectively, circRFWD2/miR-6817-5p/BMPR2 axis could regulate DPSCs osteogenesis via BMP-Smad and p38 MAPK pathway, which are novel mechanisms in the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and suggest potential therapeutic methods for bone defects regeneration.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is essential for calcium and phosphate homeostasis in odontogenesis-related cells. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding PTH, and dental caries in Brazilian children. Three hundred and fifty-three children (170 boys and 183 girls, age ranging from 8 to 11 years old) were included in this study. The International System for Detection and Assessment of Carious Lesions (ICDAS) was used for diagnosis of dental caries. Visible biofilm was also evaluated during the clinical examination. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva for real-time PCR to evaluate the single nucleotide polymorphisms rs6256, rs307247 and rs694 in PTH gene. Dental caries was classified in ICDAS0 vs. ICDAS1−6 or ICDAS1−2 vs. ICDAS3−6. Chi-square test, binary logistic regression adjusted by biofilm and haplotype analyses were performed (p < 0.05). Biofilm was associated with dental caries (p < 0.05). There were no associations between dental caries and rs6256, rs307247, rs694 in none of the analyses performed (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the present study supports that the single nucleotide polymorphisms rs6256, rs307247, and rs694 in the PTH-encoding gene are not associated with dental caries in Brazilian children.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a series of inflammatory processes caused by bacterial infection. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a critical role in bone remodeling. The present study aimed to investigate the influences of PTH on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) pretreated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The proliferative ability was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. The optimal concentrations of PTH and LPS were determined using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, ALP staining, and Alizarin Red staining. Osteogenic differentiation was further assessed by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence staining. PTH had no effects on the proliferation of HBMSCs. Also, 100 ng/ml LPS significantly inhibited HBMSC osteogenesis, while 10−9 mol/l PTH was considered as the optimal concentration to reverse the adverse effects. Mechanistically, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation was activated by PTH in LPS-induced HBMSCs. SP600125, a selective inhibitor targeting JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, weakened the effects of PTH. Taken together, the findings revealed the role and mechanism of PTH and JNK pathway in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced HBMSCs, which offered an alternative for treating periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Tooth-related diseases and tooth loss are widespread and are a major public health issue. The loss of teeth can affect chewing, speech, appearance and even psychology. Therefore, the science of tooth regeneration has emerged, and attention has focused on tooth regeneration based on the principles of tooth development and stem cells combined with tissue engineering technology. As undifferentiated stem cells in normal tooth tissues, dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs), which are a desirable source of autologous stem cells, play a significant role in tooth regeneration. Researchers hope to reconstruct the complete tooth tissues with normal functions and vascularization by utilizing the odontogenic differentiation potential of DMSCs. Moreover, DMSCs also have the ability to differentiate towards cells of other tissue types due to their multipotency. This review focuses on the multipotential capacity of DMSCs to differentiate into various tissues, such as bone, cartilage, tendon, vessels, neural tissues, muscle-like tissues, hepatic-like tissues, eye tissues and glands and the influence of various regulatory factors, such as non-coding RNAs, signaling pathways, inflammation, aging and exosomes, on the odontogenic/osteogenic differentiation of DMSCs in tooth regeneration. The application of DMSCs in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering will be improved if the differentiation characteristics of DMSCs can be fully utilized, and the factors that regulate their differentiation can be well controlled.

Abstract
Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) promotes periodontal repair, but the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. Recent studies found that ephrinB2-EPHB4 forward signaling mediated the anabolic effect of PTH in bone homeostasis. Considering the similarities between cementum and bone, we aimed to examine the therapeutic effect of PTH on resorbed roots and explore the role of forward signaling in this process. In vivo experiments showed that intermittent PTH significantly accelerated the regeneration of root resorption and promoted expression of EPHB4 and ephrinB2. When the signaling was blocked, the resorption repair was also delayed. In vitro studies showed that intermittent PTH promoted the expression of EPHB4 and ephrinB2 in OCCM-30 cells. The effects of PTH on the mineralization capacity of OCCM-30 cells was mediated through the ephrinB2-EPHB4 forward signaling. These results support the premise that the anabolic effects of intermittent PTH on the regeneration of root resorption is via the ephrinB2-EPHB4 forward signaling pathway.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are capable of both self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, which play a positive role in dentinogenesis. Studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is involved in the differentiation of DPSCs under pro-inflammatory stimuli, but the mechanism of action of TNF-α is unknown. Rip-like interacting caspase-like apoptosis-regulatory protein kinase (RICK) is a biomarker of an early inflammatory response that plays a key role in modulating cell differentiation, but the role of RICK in DPSCs is still unclear. In this study, we identified that RICK regulates TNF-α-mediated odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs via the ERK signaling pathway. The expression of the biomarkers of odontogenic differentiation dental matrix protein-1 (DMP-1), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), biomarkers of odontogenic differentiation, increased in low concentration (1-10 ng/ml) of TNF-α and decreased in high concentration (50-100 ng/ml). Odontogenic differentiation increased over time in the odontogenic differentiation medium. In the presence of 10 ng/L TNF-α, the expression of RICK increased gradually over time, along with odontogenic differentiation. Genetic silencing of RICK expression reduced the expression of odontogenic markers DMP-1 and DSPP. The ERK, but not the NF-κB signaling pathway, was activated during the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. ERK signaling modulators decreased when RICK expression was inhibited. PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, blocked the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs induced by TNF-α. These results provide a further theoretical and experimental basis for the potential use of RICK in targeted therapy for dentin regeneration.

Stem Cell-based Dental Pulp Regeneration: Insights From Signaling Pathways. Stem Cell Rev Rep 2021; 17:1251-1263.

Abstract
Deep caries, trauma, and severe periodontitis result in pulpitis, pulp necrosis, and eventually pulp loss. However, no clinical therapy can regenerate lost pulp. A novel pulp regeneration strategy for clinical application is urgently needed. Signaling transduction plays an essential role in regulating the regenerative potentials of dental stem cells. Cytokines or growth factors, such as stromal cell-derived factor (SDF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), WNT, can promote the migration, proliferation, odontogenic differentiation, pro-angiogenesis, and pro-neurogenesis potentials of dental stem cells respectively. Using the methods of signaling modulation including growth factors delivery, genetic modification, and physical stimulation has been applied in multiple preclinical studies of pulp regeneration based on cell transplantation or cell homing. Transplanting dental stem cells and growth factors encapsulated into scaffold regenerated vascularized pulp-like tissue in the root canal. Also, injecting a flowable scaffold only with chemokines recruited endogenous stem/progenitor cells for pulp regeneration. Notably, dental pulp regeneration has gradually developed into the clinical phase. These findings enlightened us on a novel strategy for structural and functional pulp regeneration through elaborate modulation of signaling transduction spatially and temporally via clinically applicable growth factors delivery. But challenges, such as the adverse effects of unphysiological signaling activation, the controlled drug release system, and the safety of gene modulation, are necessary to be tested in future works for promoting the clinical translation of pulp regeneration.

iRoot SP Promotes Osteo/Odontogenesis of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Activation of NF- κB and MAPK Signaling Pathways. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2020:6673467. [PMID: 33424977 PMCID: PMC7775135 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6673467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2020] [Revised: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The regeneration of bone and tooth tissues, and related cellular therapies, has attracted widespread attention. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are potential candidates for such regeneration. iRoot SP is a premixed bioceramic root canal sealer widely used in clinical settings. However, the effect of iRoot SP on the biological features of BMSCs has not been elucidated. In the present study, we found that 0.2 mg/ml iRoot SP conditioned medium promoted osteo/odontogenic differentiation and enhanced mineralization of BMSCs without affecting the proliferative ability. Mechanistically, the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways were activated in SP-treated BMSCs, and differentiation was inhibited when cultured with the specific inhibitor. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that iRoot SP promotes osteo/odontogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, which could provide a new theoretical basis for clinical applications of iRoot SP and a new therapeutic target for the regeneration of bone and tooth tissue in the future.

Abstract
With increasing life expectations, more and more patients suffer from fractures either induced by intensive sports or other bone-related diseases. The balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is the basis for maintaining bone health. Osterix (Osx) has long been known to be an essential transcription factor for the osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization. Emerging evidence suggests that Osx not only plays an important role in intramembranous bone formation, but also affects endochondral ossification by participating in the terminal cartilage differentiation. Given its essentiality in skeletal development and bone formation, Osx has become a new research hotspot in recent years. In this review, we focus on the progress of Osx's function and its regulation in osteoblast differentiation and bone mass. And the potential role of Osx in developing new therapeutic strategies for osteolytic diseases was discussed.

Parathyroid hormone ameliorates osteogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells against glucolipotoxicity through p38 MAPK signaling. IUBMB Life 2020; 73:213-222. [PMID: 33249758 DOI: 10.1002/iub.2420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM)-induced glucolipotoxicity is a factor strongly contributing to alveolar bone deficiency. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been identified as a main systemic mediator to balance physiological calcium in bone. This study aimed to uncover PTH's potential role in ameliorating the osteogenic capacity of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) against glucolipotoxicity. Optimal PTH concentrations and high glucose and palmitic acid (GP) were administered to cells, followed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and ALP activity assay. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Immunoblot were carried out for assessing mRNA and protein amounts, respectively. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry were performed for quantitating cell proliferation. Osteogenesis and oxidative stress were determined, and the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling was further verified. About 1-50 mmol/ml GP significantly inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs. 10-9 mol/L PTH was found to be the optimal concentration for HBMSC induction. PTH had no effects on HBMSC proliferation, with or without GP treatment. PTH reversed inadequate osteogenesis and excessive oxidative stress in GP-treated HBMSCs. Mechanistically, PTH activated p38 MAPK signaling, while inhibiting p38 MAPK-suppressed PTH's beneficial impacts on HBMSCs. Collectively, PTH promotes osteogenic differentiation in HBMSCs against glucolipotoxicity via p38 MAPK signaling.

Abstract
The multi-lineage differentiation potential is one of the prominent mechanisms through which stem cells can repair damaged tissues. The regenerative potential of stem cells is the manifestation of several changes at the structural and molecular levels in stem cells that are regulated through intricate mitochondrial-nuclear interactions maintained by Ca2+ ion signaling. Despite the exhilarating evidences strengthening the versatile and indispensible role of Ca2+ in regulating mitochondrial-nuclear interactions, the extensive details of signaling mechanisms remains largely unexplored. In this review we have discussed the effect of Ca2+ ion mediated mitochondrial-nuclear interactions participating in stem plasticity and its regenerative potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone regeneration is preferred for bone loss caused by tumors, bone defects, fractures, etc. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells are considered as optimistic tools for bone defect therapy. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are a promising candidate for regenerative medicine and bone regeneration. Our previous study showed that upregulated circSIPA1L1 during osteogenesis of DPSCs is of significance. In this paper, the potential role of circSIPA1L1 in osteogenesis of DPSCs and its underlying mechanisms are explored. METHODS The circular structure of circSIPA1L1 was identified by Sanger sequencing and PCR. Regulatory effects of circSIPA1L1 and miR-617 on mineral deposition in DPSCs were assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining and in vivo bone formation assay were conducted to verify the biological influences of circSIPA1L1 on DPSCs. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression of Smad3. Localization of circSIPA1L1 and miR-617 was confirmed by FISH. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and rescue experiments were conducted to investigate the role of the circSIPA1L1/miR-617/Smad3 regulatory axis in osteogenesis of DPSCs. RESULTS Sanger sequencing and back-to-back primer experiments confirmed the closed-loop structure of circSIPA1L1. CircSIPA1L1 could promote the committed differentiation of DPSCs. MiR-617 was predicted to be the target binding circSIPA1L1 through MiRDB, miRTarBase, and TargetScan database analyses, which was further confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. FISH results showed that circSIPA1L1 and miR-617 colocalize in the cytoplasm of DPSCs. MiR-617 exerted an inhibitory effect on the osteogenesis of DPSCs. Knockdown of circSIPA1L1 or upregulation of miR-617 downregulated phosphorylated Smad3. In addition, rescue experiments showed that knockdown of miR-617 reversed the inhibitory effect of circSIPA1L1 on osteogenesis of DPSCs. CONCLUSION CircRNASIPA1L1 promotes osteogenesis of DPSCs by adsorbing miR-617 and further targeting Smad3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) plays an important role in many physiological processes, including bone regeneration. The function of PTHrP is similar to PTH. It promotes osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PTHrP might have odontogenic differentiation ability in human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). METHODS The viability of hDPCs after stimulation with PTHrP was measured. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were performed to evaluate the expression levels of odontogenic markers and activation of protein kinase B (PKB/AKT), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). To evaluate mineralized nodule formation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red S staining were performed. RESULTS PTHrP promoted odontogenic differentiation as evidenced by the formation of mineralized nodules, the induction of ALP activity, and the upregulation of odontogenic markers (dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein-1). The phosphorylation of AKT, ERK, JNK, and p38 was increased by PTHrP. However, an AKT inhibitor (LY294002), an ERK inhibitor (U0126), a JNK inhibitor (SP600125), and a p38 inhibitor (SB203580) inhibited the increase of mineralization induced by PTHrP. CONCLUSION The present study revealed that PTHrP could promote odontogenic differentiation and mineralization through activating the AKT, ERK, JNK, and p38 signaling pathways. These results provide novel insights into the odontogenic action of PTHrP.

Disruption of histamine/H 1R signaling pathway represses cardiac differentiation and maturation of human induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:27. [PMID: 32127042 PMCID: PMC7055148 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-1551-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2019] [Revised: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 01/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The efficiency and quality of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are crucial for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, drug screening, and the study of the development events during cardiac specification. However, their applications have been hampered by the differentiation efficiency, poor maturation, and high interline variability. Recent studies have reported that histamine plays important roles in hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and neutrophil maturation. However, its roles in cardiovascular tissue regeneration have not been thoroughly investigated. In the current study, we identified a novel physiological function of the histamine/histamine 1 receptor (H1R) signal in regulating the differentiation of hiPSC-CMs and heart development. Methods Transgenic zebrafish model (cmlc2: mCherry) was treated with histamine and histamine receptor (HR) antagonists. Histological morphology and ultrastructure of zebrafish heart were measured. Histamine-deficient pregnant mice (HDC−/−) were treated with H1R antagonist (pyrilamine) by intragastric administration from E8.5 to E18.5. Cardiac histological morphology and ultrastructure were analyzed in neonatal mice, and cardiac function in adult mice was measured. In vitro, histamine and HR antagonists were administrated in the culture medium during hiPSC-CM differentiation at different stages. The efficiency and maturation of cardiac differentiation were evaluated. Finally, histamine-treated hiPSC-CMs were transplanted into ischemic myocardium to detect the possible therapeutic effect. Results Administration of H1R antagonist during heart development induced cardiac dysplasia in zebrafish. Furthermore, using histidine decarboxylase (HDC) knockout mice, we examined abnormal swelling of myocardial mitochondria and autophagy formation under the condition of endogenous histamine deficiency. Histamine significantly promoted myocardial differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with better structure and function via a H1R-dependent signal. The activation of histamine/H1R signaling pathway augmented hiPSC-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) differentiation through the ERK1/2-STAT3 signaling pathway. In addition, histamine-pre-treated hiPSC-CMs were transplanted into the ischemic hearts of myocardial injured mice and exhibited better survival and myocardial protection. Conclusions Thus, these findings indicated that histamine/H1R and its downstream signals were not only involved in cardiac differentiation but also provided a better survival environment for stem cell transplanted into ischemic myocardium.

Abstract
Background Alveolar bone loss is a frequent occurrence. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) which have invasive accessibility and high osteogenic potential is a promising source for cell-based bone regeneration. EphrinB2 is involved in bone homeostasis and osteogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of ephrinB2 overexpression on osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and bone defect repair. Methods EphrinB2 expression was analyzed during osteogenic induction of human DPSCs (hDPSCs). Endogenous ephrinB2 expression in hDPSCs was then upregulated using EfnB2 lentiviral vectors. The effect of ephrinB2 overexpression on osteogenic differentiation capacity of hDPSCs was investigated in vitro, and activation of ephrinB2-EphB4 bidirectional signaling in ephrinB2-overexpressing hDPSCs was detected. In vivo, a canine alveolar bone defect model was established and canine DPSCs (cDPSCs) were cultured, characterized, EfnB2-tranfected, and combined with a PuraMatrix scaffold. Micro-CT analysis was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ephrinB2-overexpressing cDPSCs on bone defect repair. Results EphrinB2 was upregulated after osteogenic induction of hDPSCs. EphrinB2 overexpression enhanced osteogenic differentiation capacity of hDPSCs in vitro. Moreover, p-ephrinB2 instead of p-EphB4 was upregulated by ephrinB2 overexpression, and activation of ephrinB2-mediated reverse signaling promoted osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. In a canine bone defect model, ephrinB2 overexpression in cDPSCs significantly improved trabecular bone volume per tissue volume (BV/TV) and trabecular thickness, as demonstrated by radiographic analysis. Conclusions EphrinB2 overexpression enhanced osteogenic potential of DPSCs partially via upregulation of ephrinB2-mediated reverse signaling and effectively promoted alveolar bone defect repair.
