Abstract
There are numerous effective procedures for cell signaling, in which humans directly transmit detectable signals to cells to govern their essential behaviors. From a biomedical perspective, the cellular response to the combined influence of electrical and magnetic fields holds significant promise in various domains, such as cancer treatment, targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, and wound healing. Among these modern cell signaling methods, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) play a pivotal role; however, there remains a paucity of knowledge concerning the effects of EMFs across all wavelengths. It's worth noting that most wavelengths are incompatible with human cells, and as such, this study excludes them from consideration. In this review, we aim to comprehensively explore the most effective and current EMFs, along with their therapeutic impacts on various cell types. Specifically, we delve into the influence of alternating electromagnetic fields (AEMFs) on diverse cell behaviors, encompassing proliferation, differentiation, biomineralization, cell death, and cell migration. Our findings underscore the substantial potential of these pivotal cellular behaviors in advancing the treatment of numerous diseases. Moreover, AEMFs wield a significant role in the realms of biomaterials and tissue engineering, given their capacity to decisively influence biomaterials, facilitate non-invasive procedures, ensure biocompatibility, and exhibit substantial efficacy. It is worth mentioning that AEMFs often serve as a last-resort treatment option for various diseases. Much about electromagnetic fields remains a mystery to the scientific community, and we have yet to unravel the precise mechanisms through which wavelengths control cellular fate. Consequently, our understanding and knowledge in this domain predominantly stem from repeated experiments yielding similar effects. In the ensuing sections of this article, we delve deeper into our extended experiments and research.

The adjunctive use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, light-emitting-diode photobiomodulation and ozone therapy in regenerative treatment of stage III/IV grade C periodontitis: a randomized controlled clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:426. [PMID: 38992200 PMCID: PMC11239751 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05794-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the short-term efficacy of multiple sessions of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), light-emitting-diode (LED) photobiomodulation, and topical ozone therapy applications following surgical regenerative treatments on clinical parameters, patient-centered outcomes, and mRNA expression levels of VEGF, IL-6, RunX2, Nell-1, and osterix in gingival crevicular fluid samples in patients with stage III/IV, grade C periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight systemically healthy patients were assigned into four groups to receive adjunctive modalities with regenerative periodontal surgical treatment. A 970 ± 15 nm diode laser plus indocyanine-green for aPDT group, a 626 nm LED for photobiomodulation group, and topical gaseous ozone were applied at 0, 1, 3, and 7 postoperative days and compared to control group. The clinical periodontal parameters, early wound healing index (EHI), and postoperative patients' morbidity were evaluated. The mRNA levels of biomarkers were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS No significant difference in the clinical parameters except gingival recession (GR) was identified among the groups. For group-by-time interactions, plaque index (PI) and probing pocket depths (PD) showed significant differences (p = 0.034; p = 0.022). In sites with initial PD > 7 mm, significant differences were observed between control and photobiomodulation groups in PD (p = 0.011), between control and aPDT, and control and photobiomodulation groups in CAL at 6-month follow-up (p = 0.007; p = 0.022). The relative osterix mRNA levels showed a statistically significant difference among the treatment groups (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS The additional applications of aPDT and LED after regenerative treatment of stage III/IV grade C periodontitis exhibited a more pronounced beneficial effect on clinical outcomes in deep periodontal pockets.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laser irradiation activates a range of cellular processes in the periodontal components and promotes tissue repair. However, its effect on osteogenic differentiation of human cementoblast lineage cells remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the effects of high-frequency semiconductor laser irradiation on the osteogenic differentiation of human cementoblast lineage (HCEM) cells. METHODS HCEM cells were cultured to reach 80% confluence and irradiated with a gallium-aluminum-arsenide (Ga-Al-As) semiconductor laser with a pulse width of 200 ns and wavelength of 910 at a dose of 0-2.0 J/cm2. The outcomes were assessed by analyzing the mRNA levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and type I collagen (COLL1) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis 24 h after laser irradiation. Cell mineralization was evaluated using ALP activity, calcium deposition, and Alizarin Red staining. RESULTS The laser-irradiated HCEM cells showed significantly enhanced gene expression levels of ALP, RUNX2, and COLL1 as well as ALP activity and calcium concentration in the culture medium compared with the non-irradiated cells. In addition, enhanced calcification deposits were confirmed in the laser-irradiated group compared with the non-irradiated group at 21 and 28 days after the induction of osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSION High-frequency semiconductor laser irradiation enhances the osteogenic differentiation potential of cultured HCEM cells, underscoring its potential utility for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of Diode LLLT 650 nm, TEMPO oxidized Nano-fibrillated cellulose mixed with Nano-Amorphous calcium phosphate, and their combination on bone healing in rabbit tibia using H&E staining and computed tomography. METHODS Eighteen adult male New Zealand rabbits were selected, two circular bone defects were created in each tibia, resulting in four bony defects in each rabbit, representing the four tested groups; group A (negative control), group B (filled with mineralized nano-cellulose), group C (combination), group D (laser). Animals were euthanized after two weeks and one month, defects were assessed by CT for bone density, then histological samples were examined by H&E stain. RESULTS In both evaluation periods, group D recorded the greatest mean area percent of new bone formation and bone density, followed by group A, while group C recorded the lowest value. Groups A and D showed full closure of the defects, while groups B and C showed partial defect closure with retained bone graft material. H&E and CT showed that Laser group had the best results of defects healing, bone density and new bone formation, followed by the negative control group. CONCLUSIONS Diode laser 650nm photobiomodulation significantly improved bone defects healing. Mineralized nano-cellulose experimental bone substitute material showed a delayed effect in bone healing and graft material resorption. The combination of LLLT with the graft material had no positive outcome on bone defect healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study explores the effectiveness of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) in enhancing orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), osteogenesis, and angiogenesis through a comprehensive series of in vitro and in vivo investigations. The in vitro experiments involved co-culturing MC3T3-E1 and HUVEC cells to assess PBMT's impact on cell proliferation, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and associated gene expression. Simultaneously, an in vivo experiment utilized an OTM rat model subjected to laser irradiation at specific energy densities. METHODS In vitro experiments involved co-culturing MC3T3-E1 and HUVEC cells treated with PBMT, enabling a comprehensive assessment of cell proliferation, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and gene expression. In vivo, an OTM rat model was subjected to laser irradiation at specified energy densities. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the significance of observed differences. RESULTS The results revealed a significant increase in blood vessel formation and new bone generation within the PBMT-treated group compared to the control group. In vitro, PBMT demonstrated positive effects on cell proliferation, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and gene expression in the co-culture model. In vivo, laser irradiation at specific energy densities significantly enhanced OTM, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the substantial potential of PBMT in improving post-orthodontic bone quality. The observed enhancements in angiogenesis and osteogenesis suggest a pivotal role for PBMT in optimizing treatment outcomes in orthodontic practices. The findings position PBMT as a promising therapeutic intervention that could be seamlessly integrated into orthodontic protocols, offering a novel dimension to enhance overall treatment efficacy. Beyond the laboratory, these results suggest practical significance for PBMT in clinical scenarios, emphasizing its potential to contribute to the advancement of orthodontic treatments. Further exploration of PBMT in orthodontic practices is warranted to unlock its full therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Periodontal regeneration involves the composite action of cell, scaffolds and signaling molecules. There are numerous autologous sources of regenerative cells which are present close to the vicinity of the periodontally debilitated site, the primary one being the periodontal ligament stem cell, which is believed to have a key role in regeneration. Various methods can be harnessed to optimize and enhance the regenerative potential of PDLSCs such as the application of LASERs. In the last few years there have been various studies which have evaluated the effect of different types of LASERs on PDLSCs and the present review summarizes the photo-biomodulative activity of LASERs in general and its beneficial role in the stimulation of PDLSC specifically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photobiomodulation therapy involves exposing tissues to light sources, including light-emitting diodes or low-level lasers, which results in cellular function modulation. The molecular mechanism of this treatment is revealed, demonstrating that depending on the light settings utilized, it has the potential to elicit both stimulatory and inhibitory reactions. OBJECTIVE The current systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of photobiomodulation therapy on dental stem cells and provide an evidence-based conclusion in this regard. METHODS This systematic review was performed and reported based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) revised guidelines. PICO(S) components were employed to define the inclusion criteria. Web of Science, Scopus, Medline as well as grey literature, and google scholar were searched up to September 2021 to retrieve relevant papers. RESULTS Photobiomodulation therapy showed promising effects on the proliferation, viability, and differentiation of dental stem cells. This finding was based on reviewing related articles with a low risk of bias. CONCLUSION Despite the positive benefits of photobiomodulation therapy on dental stem cells, the current data do not provide a definitive conclusion on the best physical parameters for enhancing cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cell therapy has been considered to play a paramount role in the treatment modalities available for regenerative dentistry. The established beneficial effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) at the cellular level have led to the combined use of these two factors (PBM and stem cells). The main goal of this study was firstly to critically appraise the effects of PBM on periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and secondly to explore the most effective PBM protocols applied. METHODS Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar search engines were used to identify experimental in vitro studies in which PBM was applied to cultured PDLSCs. After applying specific keywords, additional filters, and inclusion/exclusion criteria, a preliminary number of 245 articles were narrowed down to 11 in which lasers and LEDs were used within the 630 - 1064 nm wavelength range. Selected articles were further assessed by three independent reviewers for strict compliance with PRISMA guidelines, and a modified Cochrane risk of bias to determine eligibility. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The dataset analysed was extracted from the studies with sufficient and clearly presented PBM protocols. Simple univariate regression analysis was performed to explore the significance of contributions of potential quantitative predictor variables toward study outcomes, and a one-way ANOVA model was employed for testing differences between the laser or LED sources of the treatments. The significance level for testing was set at α = 0.05. RESULTS The proliferation rate, osteogenic differentiation, and expression of different indicative genes for osteogenesis and inflammation suppression were found to be positively affected by the application of various types of lasers and LEDs. With regard to the PBM protocol, only the wavelength variable appeared to affect the treatment outcome; indeed, the 940 nm wavelength parameter was found not to exert a favourable effect. CONCLUSIONS Photobiomodulation can enhance the stemness and differentiation capacities of periodontal ligament stem cells. Therefore, for PBM protocols, there remains no consensus amongst the scientific community. Statistical analyses performed here indicated that the employment of a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength of 940 nm may not yield a significant favourable outcome, although those within the 630 - 830 nm range did so. Concerning the fluence, it should not exceed 8 J/cm2 when therapy is applied by LED devices, and 4 J/cm2 when applied by lasers, respectively.

Abstract
Worldwide, osteoporosis is the utmost predominant degenerative bone condition. Stem cell regenerative therapy using adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) is a promising therapeutic route for osteoporosis. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has sparked considerable international appeal due to its' ability to augment stem cell proliferation and differentiation properties. Furthermore, the differentiation of ADMSCs into osteoblast cells and cellular proliferation effects have been established using a combination of osteogenic differentiation inducers and PBM. This in vitro study applied dexamethasone, β-glycerophosphate disodium, and ascorbic acid as differentiation inducers for osteogenic induction differentiation media. In addition, PBM at a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength of 825 nm, a green (G) wavelength of 525 nm, and the novel combination of both these wavelengths using a single fluence of 5 J/cm2 had been applied to stimulate proliferation and differentiation effectivity of immortalised ADMSCs into early osteoblasts. Flow cytometry and ELISA were used to identify osteoblast antigens using early and late osteoblast protein markers. Alizarin red Stain was employed to identify calcium-rich deposits by cells within culture. The morphology of the cells was examined, and biochemical assays such as an EdU proliferation assay, MTT proliferation and viability assay, Mitochondrial Membrane Potential assay, and Reactive Oxygen Species assay were performed. The Central Scratch Test determined the cells' motility potential. The investigative outcomes revealed that a combination of PBM treatment and osteogenic differentiation inducers stimulated promising early osteogenic differentiation of immortalised ADMSCs. The NIR-Green PBM combination did appear to offer great potential for immortalised ADMSC differentiation into early osteoblasts amongst selected assays, however, further investigations will be required to establish the effectivity of this novel wavelength combination. This research contributes to the body of knowledge and assists in the establishment of a standard for osteogenic differentiation in vitro utilising PBM.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment that combines a light source with a photosensitizer. LEDs have attracted considerable attention in clinical dentistry because they are inexpensive and safe to use. Although the interaction between photosensitizers and LEDs in dental practice is effective for treating periodontal disease by killing periodontopathic bacteria, little is known about the effects of LEDs on human gingival fibroblasts (HGnFs), which play an important role in gingival wound healing. In this study, we investigated the effects of high-intensity red LED irradiation on HGnFs after the addition of methylene blue (MB), one of the least harmful photosensitizers, on wound healing and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by photodynamic reactions. We found that irradiation of MB with high-intensity red LED at controlled energy levels promoted cell proliferation, migration, and production of wound healing factors. Furthermore, ROS production by a photodynamic reaction enabled the translocation of phosphorylated Grb2-associated binder-1, activating Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signals. Our findings suggest that proper control of ROS production has a beneficial effect on gingival fibroblasts, which constitute periodontal tissue, from the perspective of gingival wound healing.

Abstract
Dentin regeneration is the preferred method used to preserve dental pulp vitality after pulp exposure due to caries. Red light-emitting diode irradiation (LEDI), which is based on photobiomodulation (PBM), has been used to promote hard-tissue regeneration. However, the underlying mechanism still needs elucidation. This study aimed to explore the mechanism involved in red LEDI affecting dentin regeneration. Alizarin red S (ARS) staining revealed that red LEDI induced mineralization of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) in vitro. We further distinguished the cell proliferation (0-6 d), differentiation (6-12 d), and mineralization (12-18 d) of HDPCs in vitro and treated cells either with or without red LEDI in each stage. The results showed that red LEDI treatment in the mineralization stage, but not the proliferation or differentiation stages, increased mineralized nodule formation around HDPCs. Western blot also indicated that red LEDI treatment in the mineralization stage, but not the proliferation or differentiation stages, upregulated the expression of dentin matrix marker proteins (dentin sialophosphoprotein, DSPP; dentin matrix protein 1, DMP1; osteopontin, OPN) and an intracellular secretory vesicle marker protein (lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1, LAMP1). Therefore, the red LEDI might enhance the matrix vesicle secretion of HDPCs. On the molecular level, red LEDI enhanced mineralization by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways (ERK and P38). ERK and P38 inhibition reduced mineralized nodule formation and the expression of relevant marker proteins. In summary, red LEDI enhanced the mineralization of HDPCs by functioning to produce a positive effect in the mineralization stage in vitro.

Abstract
It is challenging to completely and predictably regenerate the missing periodontal tissues caused by the trauma or disease. To regenerate the periodontium, there is a need to consider several aspects that co-occur with periodontal development. This study provides an overview of the most up-to-date investigations on the characteristics and immunomodulatory features of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs) and the recent interventions performed using these cells, focusing on cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Keeping in mind the relationship between age and potency of PDLSCs, this work also demonstrates the necessity of establishing dental-derived stem cell banks for tissue regeneration applications. The data were collected from Pubmed and Google Scholar databases with the keywords of periodontal ligament stem cells, tissue engineering, characteristics, and stem cell therapy. The results showed the presence of wide-ranging research reports supporting the usability of PDLSCs for periodontal reconstruction. However, a better understanding of self-restoration for adequate regulation of adult stem cell growth is needed for various applied purposes.

Abstract
In the physiological condition, the skeletal system's bone resorption and formation are in dynamic balance, called bone homeostasis. However, bone homeostasis is destroyed under pathological conditions, leading to the occurrence of bone metabolism diseases. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is regulated by oxygen concentration. It affects energy metabolism, which plays a vital role in preventing bone metabolic diseases. This review focuses on the HIF-1α pathway and describes in detail the possible mechanism of its involvement in the regulation of bone homeostasis and angiogenesis, as well as the current experimental studies on the use of HIF-1α in the prevention of bone metabolic diseases. HIF-1α/RANKL/Notch1 pathway bidirectionally regulates the differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts under different conditions. In addition, HIF-1α is also regulated by many factors, including hypoxia, cofactor activity, non-coding RNA, trace elements, etc. As a pivotal pathway for coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis, HIF-1α has been widely studied in bone metabolic diseases such as bone defect, osteoporosis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, fracture, and nonunion. The wide application of biomaterials in bone metabolism also provides a reasonable basis for the experimental study of HIF-1α in preventing bone metabolic diseases.

Abstract
This Querystudy aimed to investigate the effects of low-energy red light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation on the proliferation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) and preliminarily elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms. SCAPs were isolated and identified in vitro. The light source was a 10 W red LED with continuous output and a wavelength of 600-700 nm. SCAPs were irradiated with 0 (control group), 0.5 J/cm2, 1 J/cm2, 3 J/cm2, or 5 J/cm2. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays were used to analyze cell proliferation rates and determine the most effective concentration of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) blocker, BIX02189. A real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was carried out to determine the involvement of the ERK5 signalling pathway and proliferation-associated genes (C-Jun, Jun B, and Cyclin D1). 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) was used to analyze cell cycle kinetic parameters. CCK-8 assay results suggested that SCAPs in red LED groups exhibited a higher proliferation rate than those in the control group, and 10 μmol/L BIX02189 was the most effective blocker. The RT-PCR results demonstrate that red LEDs upregulated the expression of the ERK5, C-Jun, Jun B, and Cyclin D1 genes, and BIX02189 successfully blocked the ERK5 signalling pathway. The results of EdU staining indicated that red LED promoted DNA synthesis activity and that BIX02189 suppressed cells into S phase. Red LEDs irradiation enhances the proliferation of SCAPs via the ERK5 signalling pathway by upregulating the expression of C-Jun, Jun B, and Cyclin D1.

High-Intensity Red Light-Emitting Diode Irradiation Suppresses the Inflammatory Response of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells by Promoting Intracellular ATP Synthesis. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12050736.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory lesion in the periodontal tissue. The behavior of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs), which play an important role in periodontal tissue regeneration, is restricted by the influence of inflammatory mediators. Photobiomodulation therapy exerts anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation on the inflammatory responses of hPDLSCs. The light source was a red LED (peak wavelength: 650 nm), and the total absolute irradiance was 400 mW/cm2. The inflammatory response in hPDLSCs is induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and pro-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-8) production were measured 24 h after LED irradiation, and the effects of potassium cyanide (KCN) were investigated. LED irradiation at 6 J/cm2 significantly increased the ATP levels and reduced TNF-α-induced IL-6 and IL-8 production. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of LED irradiation on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines was inhibited by KCN treatment. The results of this study showed that high-intensity red LED irradiation suppressed the TNF-α-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in hPDLSCs by promoting ATP synthesis. These results suggest that high-intensity red LED is a useful tool for periodontal tissue regeneration in chronically inflamed tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone tissue engineering is a new concept bringing hope for the repair of large bone defects, which remains a major clinical challenge. The formation of vascularized bone is key for bone tissue engineering. Growth of specialized blood vessels termed type H is associated with bone formation. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that low level laser therapy (LLLT) promotes angiogenesis, fracture healing, and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whether LLLT can couple angiogenesis and osteogenesis, and the underlying mechanisms during bone formation, remains largely unknown. METHODS Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) grafts were implanted into C57BL/6 mice to evaluate the effects of LLLT on the specialized vessel subtypes and bone regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, human BMSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured in vitro. The effects of LLLT on cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis were assessed. RESULTS LLLT promoted the formation of blood vessels, collagen fibers, and bone tissue and also increased CD31hiEMCNhi-expressing type H vessels in mBMSC/BCP grafts implanted in mice. LLLT significantly increased both osteogenesis and angiogenesis, as well as related gene expression (HIF-1α, VEGF, TGF-β) of grafts in vivo and of co-cultured BMSCs/HUVECs in vitro. An increase or decrease of ROS induced by H2O2 or Vitamin C, respectively, resulted in an increase or decrease of HIF-1α, and a subsequent increase and decrease of VEGF and TGF-β in the co-culture system. The ROS accumulation induced by LLLT in the co-culture system was significantly decreased when HIF-1α was inhibited with DMBPA and was followed by decreased expression of VEGF and TGF-β. CONCLUSIONS LLLT enhanced vascularized bone regeneration by coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis. ROS/HIF-1α was necessary for these effects of LLLT. LLLT triggered a ROS-dependent increase of HIF-1α, VEGF, and TGF-β and resulted in subsequent formation of type H vessels and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. As ROS also was a target of HIF-1α, there may be a positive feedback loop between ROS and HIF-1α, which further amplified HIF-1α induction via the LLLT-mediated ROS increase. This study provided new insight into the effects of LLLT on vascularization and bone regeneration in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) at different energy intensities on proliferation and osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). We designed one control group, without irradiation and four testing groups, treated with LLLT (Nd:YAG;1064 nm) at 2, 4, 6, and 8 J/cm2 for human PDLSCs. Cell proliferation was measured using colony-forming unit fibroblast assay and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Osteogenic capacity of cells was determined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity assay, Alizarin Red S staining, and the gene levels of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), ALP, osteocalcin, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). The effects of LLLT on secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β in PDLSCs were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. BMP/Smad pathway was measured through the expression of Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation (P-Smad1/5/8). LDN-193189, an inhibitor of the BMP/Smad pathway, was used to explore the underlying effects of BMP/Smad signaling on the process of LLLT regulating the proliferation and osteogenesis of PDLSCs. Our results demonstrated LLLT could promote the proliferation and osteogenesis of PDLSCs at 2-6 J/cm2 and LLLT at 8 J/cm2 significantly suppress osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Moreover, LLLT stimulated the secretion of TNFα and IL-β1. Finally, we found the irradiation positively modulates the P-Smad1/5/8 level. When the cells were treated with LDN-193189, the proliferation and osteogenic effects of LLLT on PDLSCs were attenuated. In conclusion, LLLT may upregulate the proliferation and bone formation ability of PDLSCs via the BMP/Smad signaling.

Abstract
Dental stem cells have been isolated from the medical waste of various dental tissues. They have been characterized by numerous markers, which are evaluated herein and differentiated into multiple cell types. They can also be used to generate cell lines and iPSCs for long-term in vitro research. Methods for utilizing these stem cells including cellular systems such as organoids or cell sheets, cell-free systems such as exosomes, and scaffold-based approaches with and without drug release concepts are reported in this review and presented with new pictures for clarification. These in vitro applications can be deployed in disease modeling and subsequent pharmaceutical research and also pave the way for tissue regeneration. The main focus herein is on the potential of dental stem cells for hard tissue regeneration, especially bone, by evaluating their potential for osteogenesis and angiogenesis, and the regulation of these two processes by growth factors and environmental stimulators. Current in vitro and in vivo publications show numerous benefits of using dental stem cells for research purposes and hard tissue regeneration. However, only a few clinical trials currently exist. The goal of this review is to pinpoint this imbalance and encourage scientists to pick up this research and proceed one step further to translation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The conditioned medium of calcined tooth powder (CTP-CM) is a type of biomimetic mineralized material and well contributing to bone healing and bone formation in vivo. However, little is known about the effect of CTP-CM on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) as well as the underlying mechanisms. METHODS ALP activity assay was conducted to select the concentration with the highest ALP level, which was used for the following experiments. Cell proliferation was measured by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis. Expression levels of osteogenic markers in CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs were evaluated with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot. Mineralization of CTP-CM-induced hPDLSCs was evaluated by alizarin red staining. Furthermore, the involvement of NF-κB pathway was examined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. RESULTS 20 μg/ml was selected for the further experiments. Functional studies demonstrated that CTP-CM exerted almost no influence on the proliferation of hPDLSCs and CTP-CM increased the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Mechanistically, CTP-CM leads to activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. When treated with BMS345541, the osteogenic differentiation of CTP-CM-treated hPDLSCs was significantly attenuated. CONCLUSION CTP-CM can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs via activating NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an acceptable method of stimulating stem cells through its non-invasive absorption by the cell photoreceptors and the induction of cellular response. The current research was aimed at evaluating the effect of near-infrared PBM on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in inflamed periodontal ligament stem cells (I-PDLSCs). I-PDLSCs were isolated and characterized. Third passage cells were irradiated with 940-nm laser at an output power of 100 mW in a continuous wave. A fluence of 4 J/cm2 in three sessions at 48-h intervals was applied and compared with non-irradiated controls. Cell viability and proliferation were evaluated by MTT assay. Alkaline phosphatase activity, quantitative Alizarin red staining test, and q-RT-PCR were used to evaluate the osteogenic properties of the I-PDLSCs in four groups of (a) osteogenic differentiation medium + laser (ODM + L), (b) osteogenic differentiation medium without laser (ODM), (c) non-osteogenic differentiation medium + laser (L), and (d) non-osteogenic differentiation medium (control). There was a non-significant increase in the viability of cells at 48- and 72-h post last laser irradiation. Alizarin red staining revealed no significant stimulatory effect of PBM at 14 and 21 days. However, alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher in the L + ODM group. Expression of osteogenic-related genes had a statistically significant increase at 21-day post irradiation. The irradiation used in the present study showed no significant increase in the proliferation of I-PDLSCs by PBM. However, expression levels of osteogenic-related genes and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly increased in irradiated groups.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-energy red light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). PDLSCs were derived from human periodontal ligament tissues of premolars and were irradiated with 0 (control group), 1, 3, or 5 J/cm2 red LED in osteogenic induction medium. Cell proliferation was analyzed using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Osteogenic differentiation activity was evaluated by monitoring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results. Osteoblast-associated proteins (Runx2, OCN, OPN, and BSP) were detected using western blotting. The results of the MTT assay indicated that PDLSCs in the irradiation groups exhibited a higher proliferation rate than those in the control group (P < 0.05). ALP results showed that after 7 days of illumination, only 5 J/cm2 promoted the expression of ALP of PDLSCs. However, after 14 days of illumination, the irradiation treatments did not increase ALP activity. The results of alizarin red staining showed that red LED promoted osteogenic differentiation of the PDLSCs. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results demonstrated that red LED upregulated the expression levels of osteogenic genes. Expression of the proteins BSP, OPN, OCN, and Runx2 in the irradiation groups was higher than that in the control group. Our results confirmed that low-energy red LED at 1, 3, and 5 J/cm2 promotes proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using a light-emitting diode (LED) has been employed for various photomedicine studies. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a high-intensity red LED on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the related mechanism. BMSCs were subjected to high-intensity red LED (LZ1-00R205 Deep Red LED) irradiations for 0 to 40 s with energy densities ranging from 0 to 8 J/cm2. The distance from the LED to the cell layer was 40 mm. The spot size on the target was 4 cm2. Cell proliferation was measured at 3, 24, 48, and 72 h. The effects of LED irradiation on osteogenic differentiation and mineralization were examined with a particular focus on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The high-intensity red LED irradiations did not alter BMSC proliferation after 72 h. LED exposure of 6 J/cm2 (30 s) led to significant enhancements of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. Additionally, the high-intensity LED irradiation induced activation of Wnt/β-catenin. The effects of the high-intensity LED irradiation on BMSC osteogenic differentiation and mineralization were suppressed by treatment with the Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor XAV939. P < 0.05 was considered significant. The results indicate that high-intensity red LED irradiation increases BMSC osteogenic differentiation and mineralization via Wnt/β-catenin activation. Therefore, short duration irradiation with a portable high-intensity LED may be used as a potential approach in hard tissue regeneration therapy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vivo reside in a complex microenvironment. Changes of both biochemical and biophysical cues in the microenvironment caused by inflammation affect the differentiation behaviors of MSCs. Most studies, however, only focus on either biochemical or biophysical cues, although the synergistic effect of matrix stiffness and inflammatory factors on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs has not been explored yet. Here, we showed that there was a matrix stiffness-dependent modulation in the osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs (hMSCs) with higher matrix stiffness favoring osteogenesis bias. However, when interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) was added, the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was suppressed, which was independent of increasing matrix stiffness. Both experimental observations and mathematical modeling confirmed that matrix stiffness and IL-1β could activate the ERK1/2 signaling and contribute to osteogenic differentiation. The p38 signaling activated by IL-1β has a strong role in inhibiting osteoblastic differentiation, thus diminishing the vital effect of ERK1/2 signaling. In addition, sensitivity analysis of the model parameters revealed that activation/deactivation dynamics of sensitive factors (e.g., FAK, ERK, and p38) also played a key role in the synergistic effect of matrix stiffness and IL-1β on the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. The outcomes of this study provide new insights into the synergistic effect of biochemical and biophysical microenvironments on regulating MSC differentiation.

Abstract
Conventional biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramics are facing many challenges to meet the demands of regenerative medicine, and their biological properties are limited to a large extent due to the large grain size in comparison with nanocrystalline of natural bone mineral. Herein, this study aimed to fabricate porous BCP ceramic spheres with nanocrystalline (BCP-N) by combining alginate gelatinizing with microwave hybrid sintering methods and investigated their in vitro and in vivo combinational osteogenesis potential. For comparison, spherical BCP granules with microcrystalline (BCP-G) and commercially irregular BCP granules (BAM, BCP-I) were selected as control. The obtained BCP-N with specific nanotopography could well initiate and regulate in vitro biological response, such as degradation, protein adsorption, bone-like apatite formation, cell behaviors, and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo canine intramuscular implantation and rabbit mandible critical-sized bone defect repair further confirmed that nanotopography in BCP-N might be responsible for the stronger osteoinductivity and bone regenerative ability than BCP-G and BCP-I. Collectedly, due to nanotopographic similarities with nature bone apatite, BCP-N has excellent efficacy in guiding bone regeneration and holds great potential to become a potential alternative to standard bone grafts in bone defect filling applications.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the sciatic nerve has neurotrophic activity, and nerve regeneration, differentiation, and axon outgrowth can be modulated by different sciatic nerve preparations. However, numerous animals may have to be sacrificed to obtain enough sciatic nerves to make a sciatic nerve preparation. Some studies have demonstrated that the role of sciatic nerve preparations in neural differentiation depends on the neurotrophins that Schwann cells secrete, and these factors are highly conserved among different species. To reduce the use of experimental animals, in this study, we made a leachate by using the sciatic nerve of cattle and explored its effect on neuronal differentiation of rat PC12 cells (a useful model for studying neuronal differentiation). Results showed the neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells treated with the cattle sciatic nerve leachate for 3, 6, and 9 days was significantly improved, and the expressions of β3-tubulin and microtubule-associated protein 2 (two neuron-specific proteins) were increased. Moreover, the ERK1/2 signaling pathway was activated after PC12 cells were incubated with cattle sciatic nerve leachate for 9 days. Thus, a sciatic nerve leachate obtained from cattle can effectively induce neuronal differentiation of rat PC12 cells via ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Lasers devices are widely used in various medical fields (eg, surgery, dermatology, dentistry, rehabilitative medicine, etc.) for different applications, ranging from surgical ablation of tissues to biostimulation and pain relief. Laser is an electromagnetic radiation, which effects on biological tissues strongly depends on a number of physical parameters. Laser wavelength, energy output, irradiation time and modality, temperature and tissue penetration properties have to be set up according to the clinical target tissue and the desired effect. A less than optimal operational settings, in fact, could result in a null or even lethal effect. According to the first law of photobiology, light absorption requires the presence of a specific photoacceptor that after excitation could induce the activation of downstream signaling pathways. Low-level lasers operating in the red/near infrared portion of the light spectra are generally used for biostimulation purposes, a particular therapeutic application based on the radiant energy ability to induce nonthermal responses in living cells. Biostimulation process generally promotes cell survival and proliferation. Emerging evidences support a low-level laser stimulation mediated increase in "good" reactive oxygen species, able to activate redox sensitive signal transduction pathways such as Nrf-2, NF-kB, ERK which act as key redox checkpoints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to discuss long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) function of regulating osteogenesis in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). METHODS First, use of a mineralizing solution induced osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs to establish a differentiated cell model. Through microarray analysis, we selected a lncRNA MEG3 with marked changes between differentiated and undifferentiated cells. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the MEG3 content and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect changes in related proteins. Cell viability was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Alizarin red staining was also used to evaluate cells' osteogenic level. Finally, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to further clarify the endogenous relationship between MEG3 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 ( BMP2) in hPDLCs. RESULTS MEG3 was downregulated in osteogenic differentiation hPDLCs induced by mineralizing solution. Overexpression of MEG3 inhibited cell viability and increased cell apoptosis. MEG3 overexpression can reverse osteogenic differentiation induced by mineralizing solution. MEG3 can suppress BMP2 through interaction with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein I. CONCLUSION Upregulation of MEG3 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells by downregulating BMP2 expression.
