Abstract
Biomechanical signals in the extracellular niche are considered promising for programming the lineage specification of stem cells. Recent studies have reported that biomechanics, such as the microstructure of nanomaterials, can induce adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) to differentiate into osteoblasts, mediating gene regulation at the epigenetic level. Therefore, in this study, transcriptome expression levels of histone demethylases in ASCs were screened after treatment with different matrix stiffnesses, and histone lysine demethylase 3B (KDM3B) was found to promote osteogenic differentiation of ASCs in response to matrix stiffness, indicating a positive modulatory effect on this biological process. ASCs exhibited widespread and polygonal shapes with a distinct bundle-like expression of vinculin parallel to the axial cytoskeleton along the cell margins on the stiff matrix rather than round shapes with a smeared and shorter expression on the soft matrix. Comparatively rigid polydimethylsiloxane material directed ASCs into an osteogenic phenotype in inductive culture media via the upregulation of osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and runt-related transcription factor 2. Treatment with KDM3B-siRNA decreased the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers and impaired mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial membrane potential. These results illustrate the critical role of KDM3B in the biomechanics-induced osteogenic commitment of ASCs and provide new avenues for the further application of stem cells as potential therapeutics for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is the determining factor during dental pulp regeneration. Six-twelve leukemia (STL) is identified as a key regulatory factor on the biological function of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) under hypoxic conditions, but its effect on angiogenesis is unclear. Co-culture of DPSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is used to detect tubule formation ability in vitro and the angiogenesis ability in vivo. RNA-seq and bioinformatic analyses are performed to screen differentially expressed genes. Seahorse Cell Mito Stress Test is proceeded to exam mitochondrial respiration. STL decreased tubule formation and mitochondrial respiration of DPSCs in vitro and restrained the number of blood vessels and the expression of VEGF in new formed tissue in vivo. Furthermore, pretreating STL-depleted DPSCs with rotenone, a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor, counteracted the promoting effect of STL knockdown on tubule formation. Then, RNA-seq and bioinformatic analyses identified some angiogenesis relevant genes and pathways in STL-depleted DPSCs. And STL enhanced expression of mRNA-ring finger protein 217 (RNF217), which inhibited the tubule formation and mitochondrial respiration of DPSCs. STL inhibited the angiogenesis of DPSCs through depressing mitochondrial respiration by enhancing RNF217, indicating that STL is a potential target for angiogenesis of DPSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the osteogenic differentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs), but the mechanism by which miRNAs indirectly modulate osteogenesis remains unclear. Here, we explored the mechanism by which miRNAs indirectly modulate gene expression through histone demethylases to promote bone regeneration. METHODS AND RESULTS Bioinformatics analysis was performed on hBMSCs after 7 days of osteogenic induction. The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened, and potential target mRNAs were identified. To determine the bioactivity and stemness of hBMSCs and their potential for bone repair, we performed wound healing, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR), alkaline phosphatase activity, alizarin red S (ARS) staining and radiological and histological analyses on SD rats with calvarial bone defects. Additionally, a dual-luciferase reporter assay was utilized to investigate the interaction between miR-26b-5p and ten-eleven translocation 3 (TET3) in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. The in vitro and in vivo results suggested that miR-26b-5p effectively promoted the migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, as well as the bone reconstruction of calvarial defects in SD rats. Mechanistically, miR-26b-5p bound to the 3' untranslated region of TET3 mRNA to mediate gene silencing. CONCLUSIONS MiR-26b-5p downregulated the expression of TET3 to increase the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and bone repair in rat calvarial defects. MiR-26b-5p/TET3 crosstalk might be useful in large-scale critical bone defects.

Abstract
Pathogens or danger signals trigger the immune response. Moderate immune response activation removes pathogens and avoids excessive inflammation and tissue damage. Histone demethylases (KDMs) regulate gene expression and play essential roles in numerous physiological processes by removing methyl groups from lysine residues on target proteins. Abnormal expression of KDMs is closely associated with the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases such as liver fibrosis, lung injury, and autoimmune diseases. Despite becoming exciting targets for diagnosing and treating these diseases, the role of these enzymes in the regulation of immune and inflammatory response is still unclear. Here, we review the underlying mechanisms through which KDMs regulate immune-related pathways and inflammatory responses. In addition, we also discuss the future applications of KDMs inhibitors in immune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) features chronic, non-infectious inflammation of the colon. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) has been indicated to be related to various inflammation-related diseases. However, its association with UC remains largely unclear. AIMS Here, we investigate the role of IGFBP5 in colonic mucosal epithelial cell injury in UC. METHODS Differentially expressed genes in the colonic tissues of UC mice were screened using the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and IGFBP5 was identified. UC mice were developed using dextran sulfate sodium, and IGFBP5 expression in the colonic tissues of UC mice was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR. The effects of IGFBP5 in vivo and in vitro were investigated by intraperitoneal injection of adeno-associated virus into UC mice or by transfection with an IGFBP5 overexpression plasmid into lipopolysaccharide-treated colonic mucosal epithelial cells. The mechanisms causing IGFBP5 deletion in UC were predicted by bioinformatics analysis and ChIP-qPCR and verified by rescue experiments. RESULTS IGFBP5 was reduced in UC. IGFBP5 impaired the NFκB pathway in the colonic tissue of UC mice and ameliorated inflammatory infiltration and colonic mucosal cell injury. IGFBP5 depletion was associated with H3K27me3 modification, which was induced by EZH2. CTCF was responsible for recruiting EZH2 to the promoter region of IGFBP5. CTCF inhibition repressed UC progression by reducing H3K27me3 modification via the discouragement of the enrichment of EZH2 in the IGFBP5 promoter. CONCLUSIONS CTCF modulates H3K27me3 modification of the IGFBP5 promoter by recruiting EZH2, thereby downregulating IGFBP5 to accentuate colonic mucosal epithelial cell injury in UC mice.

Abstract
Evidences have showed stem cell mediated tissue regeneration is a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis. Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins-5 (IGFBP5) is a member of the insulin growth factor (IGFs) family and plays a regulatory role in cell proliferation and differentiation. Our previous study showed that IGFBP5 can promote osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and enhance periodontal tissue regeneration mediated by PDLSCs. However, the function of IGFBP5 in the process of PDLSCs senescence remains unclear. The present study showed IGFBP5 mRNA level was highly expressed in passage-induced aged PDLSCs cells. IGFBP5 knockdown decreased the ratio of senescence associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells, enhanced the activity of TERT, and down-regulated the expression levels of P16, P21, P53 mRNA and protein. Overexpression of IGFBP5 increased the ratio of SA-β-Gal positive staining PDLSCs, decreased the activity of telomerase TERT, and up-regulated the expression levels of P16, P21, P53 mRNA and protein related to PDLSCs senescence. In conclusion, IGFBP5 can accelerate the senescence of PDLSCs, indicating the potential target for maintaining the "young state" of stem cells.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1126843.

Abstract
Introduction Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) exerts an essential biological role in many processes, including apoptosis, cellular differentiation, growth, and immune responses. However, compared to mammalians, our knowledge of IGFBP5 in teleosts remains limited. Methods In this study, TroIGFBP5b, an IGFBP5 homologue from golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) was identified. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to check its mRNA expression level in healthy condition and after stimulation. In vivo overexpression and RNAi knockdown method were performed to evaluate the antibacterial profile. We constructed a mutant in which HBM was deleted to better understand the mechanism of its role in antibacterial immunity. Subcellular localization and nuclear translocation were verified by immunoblotting. Further, proliferation of head kidney lymphocytes (HKLs) and phagocytic activity of head kidney macrophages (HKMs) were detected through CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. Immunofluorescence microscopy assay (IFA) and dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assay were used to evaluate the activity in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κβ) pathway. Results The TroIGFBP5b mRNA expression level was upregulated after bacterial stimulation. In vivo, TroIGFBP5b overexpression significantly improved the antibacterial immunity of fish. In contrast, TroIGFBP5b knockdown significantly decreased this ability. Subcellular localization results showed that TroIGFBP5b and TroIGFBP5b-δHBM were both present in the cytoplasm of GPS cells. After stimulation, TroIGFBP5b-δHBM lost the ability to transfer from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In addition, rTroIGFBP5b promoted the proliferation of HKLs and phagocytosis of HKMs, whereas rTroIGFBP5b-δHBM, suppressed these facilitation effects. Moreover, the in vivo antibacterial ability of TroIGFBP5b was suppressed and the effects of promoting expression of proinflammatory cytokines in immune tissues were nearly lost after HBM deletion. Furthermore, TroIGFBP5b induced NF-κβ promoter activity and promoted nuclear translocation of p65, while these effects were inhibited when the HBM was deleted. Discussion Taken together, our results suggest that TroIGFBP5b plays an important role in golden pompano antibacterial immunity and activation of the NF-κβ signalling pathway, providing the first evidence that the HBM of TroIGFBP5b plays a critical role in these processes in teleosts.

Abstract
Pulpal and periapical diseases are the most common dental diseases. The traditional treatment is root canal therapy, which achieves satisfactory therapeutic outcomes-especially for mature permanent teeth. Apexification, pulpotomy, and pulp revascularization are common techniques used for immature permanent teeth to accelerate the development of the root. However, there are obstacles to achieving functional pulp regeneration. Recently, two methods have been proposed based on tissue engineering: stem cell transplantation, and cell homing. One of the goals of functional pulp regeneration is to achieve innervation. Nerves play a vital role in dentin formation, nutrition, sensation, and defense in the pulp. Successful neural regeneration faces tough challenges in both animal studies and clinical trials. Investigation of the regeneration and repair of the nerves in the pulp has become a serious undertaking. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the key stem cells, signaling molecules, and biomaterials that could promote neural regeneration as part of pulp regeneration. We also discuss the challenges in preclinical or clinical neural regeneration applications to guide deep research in the future.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) and the associated signaling components in the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and adhesion. Of the IGFBPs, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is the most evolutionarily conserved with a dynamic range of IGF-dependent and -independent functions, and studies on the actions of IGFBP5 in cancer have been somewhat paradoxical. In cancer, the IGFBPs respond to external stimuli to modulate disease progression and therapeutic responsiveness in a context specific manner. This review discusses the different roles of IGF signaling and IGFBP5 in disease with an emphasis on discoveries within the last twenty years, which underscore a need to clarify the IGF-independent actions of IGFBP5, the impact of its subcellular localization, the differential activities of each of the subdomains, and the response to elements of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Additionally, recent advances addressing the role of IGFBP5 in resistance to cancer therapeutics will be discussed. A better understanding of the contexts in which IGFBP5 functions will facilitate the discovery of new mechanisms of cancer progression that may lead to novel therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
The inflammatory response plays critical important role in tissue hemostasis. Our previous study showed insulin-binding protein-5 (IGFBP5) could enhance the regeneration of tissue defect under inflammation condition, but the function of IGFBP5 in controlling inflammation and regulating immune responses remains unclear. In present study, we studied the regulatory effect of IGFBP5 on T cell immune response in vitro, and the maintenance of Th17/Treg balance in vivo by using dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. The results showed that IGFBP5 inhibited the differentiation of CD4+ T cells into Th17 subset while promoted its differentiation into Treg subsets. Further results of animal experiments demonstrated that recombinant IGFBP5 reversed the imbalance of Th17/Treg and alleviated the severity of DSS-induced colitis. The percentage of Th17 cells decreased and the percentage of Treg cells increased in the inflamed colon tissue and mesenteric lymph nodes of mice with colitis after IGFBP5 treatment. Besides, pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IFN-γ in serum were suppressed after the treatment of IGFBP5. Moreover, the function of IGFBP5 in regulating Th17/Treg balance could be inhibited by the inhibitors of ERK or JNK pathway. In conclusion, all these data showed that IGFBP5 could regulate Th17/Treg balance via ERK or JNK pathways. The findings of our study provide a theoretical basis for the application of IGFBP5 in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) are crucial in tooth development and periodontal health, and their multipotential differentiation and self-renewal ability play a critical role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Methylation modifications could promote the appropriate biological behavior by postsynthetic modification of DNA or protein and make the organism adapt to developmental and environmental prompts by regulating gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Methylation modifications involved in DMSC fate include DNA methylation, RNA methylation, and histone modifications, which have been proven to exert a significant effect on the regulation of the fate of DMSCs, such as proliferation, self-renewal, and differentiation potential. Understanding the regulation of methylation modifications on the behavior and the immunoinflammatory responses involved in DMSCs contributes to further study of the mechanism of methylation on tissue regeneration and inflammation. In this review, we briefly summarize the key functions of histone methylation, RNA methylation, and DNA methylation in the differentiation potential and self-renewal of DMSCs as well as the opportunities and challenges for their application in tissue regeneration and disease therapy.

Gold nanoparticles targeting the autophagy-lysosome system to combat the inflammation-compromised osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells: From mechanism to therapy. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121743. [PMID: 36030103 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
Although substantial data indicate that the osteogenic potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) is compromised under inflammatory conditions, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. In this study, we found that both the autophagy levels and autophagic flux levels were decreased in PDLSCs incubated under inflammatory conditions (I-PDLSCs). Based on the increased expression of LC3 II (at an autophagy level) and decreased accumulation of LC3 II (at an autophagic flux level) in I-PDLSCs, we speculated that the disruption of I-PDLSC autophagy arose from dysfunction of the cellular autophagy-lysosome system. Subsequently, our hypothesis was demonstrated by inhibited autophagosome-lysosome fusion, damaged lysosomal function, and suppressed activation of transcription factor EB (TFEB, a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosome system) in I-PDLSCs and verified by TFEB overexpression in I-PDLSCs. We found that gold nanoparticle (Au NP) treatment rescued the osteogenic potential of I-PDLSCs by restoring the inflammation-compromised autophagy-lysosome system. In this context, Au NP ceased to be effective when TFEB was knocked down in PDLSCs. Our data demonstrate the crucial role of the autophagy-lysosome system in cellular osteogenesis under inflammatory conditions and suggest a new target for rescuing inflammation-induced cell dysfunction using nanomaterials to aid cell biology and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Epigenetic regulation, mainly involving DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), is essential for the regulation of multiple cellular processes. Dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs), a kind of multipotent cells derived from dental tissues, are impactful in regenerative medicine. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic regulation plays a major role in DMSCs. Therefore, exploring how epigenetic regulation is involved in DMSCs may be of guiding significance for tissue repair and regeneration or for exploring more effective treatments. A number of research of ncRNAs in DMSCs have been reported. However, little is known about the roles of DNA methylation and histone modifications in DMSCs. In this review, we summarize the important roles of DNA methylation and histone modifications of the fate of DMSCs.

Abstract
Loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage due to oxidative stress injury is one of the main characteristics of osteoarthritis (OA). As a bioactive molecule derived from the traditional Chinese Burdock, arctiin exerts robust antioxidant properties to modulate redox balance. However, the potential therapeutic effects of arctiin on OA and the underlying mechanisms involved are still unknown. Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) tool, Burdock-extracted small molecule arctiin was identified as a potential anti-arthritic component. In vitro, treatment using arctiin rescued the interleukin (IL)-1β-induced activation of proteinases and promoted the cartilage ECM synthesis in human chondrocytes. In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of arctiin ameliorated cartilage erosion and encountered subchondral bone sclerosis in the post-traumatic OA mice. Transcriptome sequencing uncovered that arctiin-enhanced cartilage matrix deposition was associated with restricted oxidative stress. Mechanistically, inhibition of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) abolished arctiin-mediated anti-oxidative and anti-arthritic functions. To further broaden the application prospects, a gellan gum (GG)-based bioactive gel (GG-CD@ARC) encapsulated with arctiin was made to achieve long-term and sustained drug release. Intra-articular injection of GG-CD@ARC counteracted cartilage degeneration in the severe (12 weeks) OA mice model. These findings indicate that arctiin may be a promising anti-arthritic agent. Furthermore, GG-modified bioactive glue loaded with arctiin provides a unique strategy for treating moderate to severe OA.

Abstract
This study investigated mechanisms by which microRNA (miR)-181a orchestrates mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in a rat model of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). Expression of miR-181a and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) was detected and then miR-181a was overexpressed or inhibited and IGFBP5 was overexpressed in the ICU-AW rats. The expression of UCP-3, metaphase chromosome protein 1 (MCP1), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), inflammatory factors, phosphorylation (p)-JAK1, p-STAT1, and p-STAT2 were measured in skeletal muscle tissues; binding of miR-181a to IGFBP5 was evaluated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results demonstrated high expression of miR-181a and low expression of IGFBP5 in ICU-AW versus control rats; IGFBP5 was identified as a target gene of miR-181a. Further experiments demonstrated that ICU-AW rats suffered from marked loss of grip strength and decreased adenosine triphosphate production, mtDNA content, and UCP-3 mRNA expression in skeletal muscles; this was accompanied by elevated TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, MCP1, p-JAK1, p-STAT1, and p-STAT2 levels. Importantly, miR-181a suppression alleviated strength loss, inflammatory reaction, and mitochondrial dysfunction and diminished the phosphorylation levels of JAK1, STAT1, and STAT2 whereas IGFBP5 upregulation rescued the effect of miR-181a overexpression in ICU-AW rats. These results indicate that miR-181a promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation by activating the JAK/STAT pathway via IGFBP5 in ICU-AW model rats.

The cannabinoid receptor I (CB1) enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by rescue impaired mitochondrial metabolism function under inflammatory condition. Stem Cell Res Ther 2022; 13:22. [PMID: 35063024 PMCID: PMC8781353 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-022-02702-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease leading to bone resorption and periodontal tissue disruption under inflammatory stimulation. The osteogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is impaired under the inflammatory environment, which limits the effect of treatment. The cannabinoid receptor I (CB1)
is the main effector of the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS), and our previous study verified that CB1 could enhance the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of dental MSCs, which might be a target for alveolar bone regeneration. However, the effect of CB1 on the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs derived from bone remains unknown. In present study, we investigated the role and mechanism of CB1 on mitochondrial function and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) under inflammatory environment. Methods Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, quantitative calcium analysis, and osteogenic markers were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the gene expression. Seahorse Cell Mito Stress Test was used to detect the oxygen consumption rate (OCR). JC-10 assay was used to determine the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Results CB1 increased osteogenic differentiation potential and mitochondrial energy metabolism, including the OCR, MMP, and enhanced the expressions of Nrf1 and Nrf2 in hBMSCs without or with TNF-α or INF-γ stimulation. Then, the inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), rotenone (ROT), inhibited the osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs, and CB1 could rescue ROT impaired osteogenic differentiation potentials of hBMSCs without or with TNF-α or INF-γ stimulation. Activation of ETC by Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) could restore the impaired osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by depletion of CB1 without or with TNF-α or INF-γ stimulation. Mechanismly, CB1 could activate the JNK signaling pathway, p38 MAPK signaling pathway, and inhibit the Erk1/2 signaling pathway. Conclusions The activating of CB1 enhanced the osteogenic differentiation by rescuing the mitochondrial metabolism function in hBMSCs under the inflammatory environment, suggesting that CB1 is a potential target for enhancing bone regeneration under the inflammatory environment.

Abstract
Periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two of the most common and challenging health problems worldwide and they affect each other mutually and adversely. Current periodontal therapies have unpredictable outcome in diabetic patients. Periodontal tissue engineering is a challenging but promising approach that aims at restoring periodontal tissues using one or all of the following: stem cells, signalling molecules and scaffolds. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) represent ideal examples of stem cells and signalling molecules. This review outlines the most recent updates in characterizing MSCs isolated from diabetics to fully understand why diabetics are more prone to periodontitis that theoretically reflect the impaired regenerative capabilities of their native stem cells. This characterisation is of utmost importance to enhance autologous stem cells based tissue regeneration in diabetic patients using both MSCs and members of IGF axis.

Abstract
MCM3AP-AS1 regulates the cartilage repair in osteoarthritis, but how it regulates osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) remains to be determined. DPSCs were isolated and induced for osteogenic differentiation. MCM3AP-AS1 expression was increased along with the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs, whose expression was positive correlated with those of OCN, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and RUNX2. On contrary, miR-143-3p expression was decreased along with the osteogenic differentiation and was negatively correlated with those of OCN, ALP and RUNX2. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that miR-143-3p can be negatively regulated by MCM3AP-AS1 and can regulate IGFBP5. MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression increased the expression levels of osteogenesis-specific genes, ALP activity and mineralized nodules during DPSC osteogenic differentiation, while IGFBP5 knockdown or miR-143-3p overexpression counteracted the effect of MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression in DPSCs. Therefore, this study demonstrated the role of MCM3AP-AS1/miR-143-3p/IGFBP5 axis in regulating DPSC osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Alveolar bone remodeling under orthodontic force is achieved by periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), which are sensitive to mechanical loading. How to regulate functions of PDLSCs is a key issue in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. This study is aimed at investigating the roles of lncRNA Hedgehog-interacting protein antisense RNA 1 (HHIP-AS1) in the functional regulation of PDLSCs. First, HHIP-AS1 expression was downregulated in PDLSCs under continuous compressive pressure. Then, we found that the alkaline phosphatase activity, in vitro mineralization, and expression levels of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and osterix were increased in PDLSCs by HHIP-AS1. The results of scratch migration and transwell chemotaxis assays revealed that HHIP-AS1 inhibited the migration and chemotaxis abilities of PDLSCs. In addition, the RNA sequencing data showed that 356 mRNAs and 14 lncRNAs were upregulated, including receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 and nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1, while 185 mRNAs and 6 lncRNAs were downregulated, including fibroblast growth factor 5 and LINC00973, in HHIP-AS1-depleted PDLSCs. Bioinformatic analysis revealed several biological processes and signaling pathways related to HHIP-AS1 functions, including the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and JAK-STAT signaling pathway. In conclusion, our findings indicated that HHIP-AS1 was downregulated in PDLSCs under compressive pressure, and it promoted the osteogenic differentiation potential and inhibited the migration and chemotaxis abilities of PDLSCs. Thus, HHIP-AS1 may be a potential target for accelerating tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
The Jumonji domain-containing protein-3 (JMJD3) is a histone demethylase that regulates the trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). H3K27me3 is an important epigenetic event associated with transcriptional silencing. JMJD3 has been studied extensively in immune diseases, cancer, and tumor development. There is a comprehensive epigenetic transformation during the transition of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into specialized cells or the reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Recent studies have illustrated that JMJD3 plays a major role in cell fate determination of pluripotent and multipotent stem cells (MSCs). JMJD3 has been found to enhance self-renewal ability and reduce the differentiation capacity of ESCs and MSCs. In this review, we will focus on the recent advances of JMJD3 function in stem cell fate. Video Abstract

Abstract
The recent advances in the field of cell-based therapeutics open promising perspectives for oral tissue regeneration. The development of large animal models, which overcome the limits of the rodent models and allow to emulate clinical situations, is crucial for the validation of regenerative strategies to move toward clinical application. Currently, porcine, canine, and ovine models are mainly developed for oral regeneration and their specific characteristics have an impact on the outcomes of the studies. Thus, this systematic review investigates the application of porcine, canine, and ovine models in present cell-based oral regeneration, according to the species characteristics and the targeted tissue to regenerate. A customized search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 2015 to March 2020 was conducted. Relevant articles about cell-based oral tissues engineering in porcine, canine, and ovine models were evaluated. Among the evaluated articles, 58 relevant studies about cell-based oral regeneration in porcine, canine, and ovine models matched the eligibility criteria and were selected for full analysis. Porcine models, the most similar species with humans, were mostly used for bone and periodontium regeneration; tooth regeneration was reported only in pig, except for one study in dog. Canine models were the most transversal models, successfully involved for all oral tissue regeneration and notably in implantology. However, differences with humans and ethical concerns affect the use of these models. Ovine models, alternative to porcine and canine ones, were mainly used for bone and, scarcely, periodontium regeneration. The anatomy and physiology of these animals restrain their involvement. If consistency was found in defect specificities and cell trends among different species animal models of bone, dentin-pulp complex, or tooth regeneration, variability appeared in periodontium. Regeneration assessment methods were more elaborate in porcines and canines than in ovines. Risk of bias was low for selection, attrition and reporting, but unclear for performance and detection. Overall, if none of the large animal models can be considered an ideal one, they are of deemed importance for oral cell-based tissue engineering and researchers should consider their relevance to establish favorable conditions for a given preclinical cell-based therapeutics.

The Role of GH/IGF Axis in Dento-Alveolar Complex from Development to Aging and Therapeutics: A Narrative Review. Cells 2021; 10:cells10051181. [PMID: 34066078 PMCID: PMC8150312 DOI: 10.3390/cells10051181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The GH/IGF axis is a major regulator of bone formation and resorption and is essential to the achievement of normal skeleton growth and homeostasis. Beyond its key role in bone physiology, the GH/IGF axis has also major pleiotropic endocrine and autocrine/paracrine effects on mineralized tissues throughout life. This article aims to review the literature on GH, IGFs, IGF binding proteins, and their respective receptors in dental tissues, both epithelium (enamel) and mesenchyme (dentin, pulp, and tooth-supporting periodontium). The present review re-examines and refines the expression of the elements of the GH/IGF axis in oral tissues and their in vivo and in vitro mechanisms of action in different mineralizing cell types of the dento-alveolar complex including ameloblasts, odontoblasts, pulp cells, cementoblasts, periodontal ligament cells, and jaw osteoblasts focusing on cell-specific activities. Together, these data emphasize the determinant role of the GH/IGF axis in physiological and pathological development, morphometry, and aging of the teeth, the periodontium, and oral bones in humans, rodents, and other vertebrates. These advancements in oral biology have elicited an enormous interest among investigators to translate the fundamental discoveries on the GH/IGF axis into innovative strategies for targeted oral tissue therapies with local treatments, associated or not with materials, for orthodontics and the repair and regeneration of the dento-alveolar complex and oral bones.

Abstract
Regenerative treatment protocols are an exciting prospect in the management of oral pathology, as they allow for tissues to be restored to their original form and function, as compared to the reparative healing mechanisms which currently govern the outcomes of the majority of dental treatment. Stem cell therapy presents with a great deal of untapped potential in this pursuit of tissue regeneration, and, in particular, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from dental tissues are of specific relevance with regards to their applications in engineering craniofacial tissues. A number of mediatory factors are involved in modulating the actions of dental MSCs, and, of these, insulin like growth factors (IGFs) are known to have potent effects in governing the behavior of these cells. The IGF family comprises a number of primary ligands, receptors, and binding proteins which are known to modulate the key properties of dental MSCs, such as their proliferation rates, differentiation potential, and mineralisation. The aims of this review are three-fold: (i) to present an overview of dental MSCs and the role of growth factors in modulating their characteristics, (ii) to discuss in greater detail the specific role of IGFs and the benefits they may convey for tissue engineering, and (iii) to provide a summary of potential for in vivo clinical translation of the current in vitro body of evidence.

Abstract
The packaging of DNA around nucleosomes exerts dynamic control over eukaryotic gene expression either by granting access to the transcriptional machinery in an open chromatin state or by silencing transcription via chromatin compaction. Histone methylation modification affects chromatin through the addition of methyl groups to lysine or arginine residues of histones H3 and H4 by means of histone methyl transferases or histone demethylases. Changes in histone methylation state modulate periodontal gene expression and have profound effects on periodontal development, health, and therapy. At the onset of periodontal development, progenitor cell populations such as dental follicle cells are characterized by an open H3K4me3 chromatin mark on RUNX2, MSX2, and DLX5 gene promoters. During further development, periodontal progenitor differentiation undergoes a global switch from the H3K4me3 active methyl mark to the H3K27me3 repressive mark. When compared with dental pulp cells, periodontal neural crest lineage differentiation is characterized by repressive H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 marks on typical dentinogenesis-related genes. Inflammatory conditions as they occur during periodontal disease result in unique histone methylation signatures in affected cell populations, including repressive H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 histone marks on extracellular matrix gene promoters and active H3K4me3 marks on interleukin, defensin, and chemokine gene promoters, facilitating a rapid inflammatory response to microbial pathogens. The inflammation-induced repression of chromatin on extracellular matrix gene promoters presents a therapeutic opportunity for the application of histone methylation inhibitors capable of inhibiting suppressive trimethylation marks. Furthermore, inhibition of chromatin coregulators through interference with key inflammatory mediators such as NF-kB by means of methyltransferase inhibitors provides another avenue to halt the exacerbation of the inflammatory response in periodontal tissues. In conclusion, histone methylation dynamics play an intricate role in the fine-tuning of chromatin states during periodontal development and harbor yet-to-be-realized potential for the treatment of periodontal disease.

The Histone Demethylase KDM3B Promotes Osteo-/Odontogenic Differentiation, Cell Proliferation, and Migration Potential of Stem Cells from the Apical Papilla. Stem Cells Int 2020; 2020:8881021. [PMID: 33082788 PMCID: PMC7563049 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8881021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Understanding the regulation mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can assist in tissue regeneration. The histone demethylase (KDM) family has a crucial role in differentiation and cell proliferation of MSCs, while the function of KDM3B in MSCs is not well understood. In this study, we used the stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) to test whether KDM3B could regulate the function of MSCs. By an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, Alizarin red staining, real-time RT-PCR, and western blot analysis, we found that KDM3B enhanced the ALP activity and mineralization of SCAPs and promoted the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osterix (OSX), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), and osteocalcin (OCN). Additionally, the CFSE, CCK-8, and flow cytometry assays revealed that KDM3B improved cell proliferation by accelerating cell cycle transition from the G1 to S phase. Scratch and transwell migration assays displayed that KDM3B promoted the migration potential of SCAPs. Mechanically, microarray results displayed that 98 genes were upregulated, including STAT1, CCND1, and FGF5, and 48 genes were downregulated after KDM3B overexpression. Besides, we found that the Toll-like receptor and JAK-STAT signaling pathway may be involved in the regulating function of KDM3B in SCAPs. In brief, we discovered that KDM3B promoted the osteo-/odontogenic differentiation, cell proliferation, and migration potential of SCAPs and provided a novel target and theoretical basis for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring the effects of lncRNA SNHG1 in the process of osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) would provide novel therapeutic strategies for tissue regeneration. METHODS Loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays were induced by lentivirus. The osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs were assessed by ALP staining and Alizarin Red staining as well as the mRNA and protein levels of osteogenic marker genes osterix, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase through qRT-PCR and western blot. RNA immunoprecipitation assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were performed to uncover the interaction between SNHG1 and EZH2. RESULTS Our analysis revealed that SNHG1 was downregulated and KLF2 was upregulated during the osteogenic induction differentiation of PDLSCs. SNHG1 inhibited while KLF2 promoted osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. SNHG1 directly interact with the histone methyltransferase enhancer of the zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and modulate the histone methylation of promoter of Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) and altered the progress osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, SNHG1 inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through EZH2-mediated H3K27me3 methylation of KLF2 promotor and provided a novel class of therapeutic targets for regenerate dental tissues.

Abstract
Background Periodontal tissue regeneration (PTR) is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. Currently, stem cell therapy is considered a promising strategy for achieving PTR. However, there is still no conclusive comparison that distinguishes clear hierarchies among different kinds of stem cells. Methods A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science up to February 2020. Preclinical studies assessing five types of stem cells for PTR were included; the five types of stem cells included periodontal ligament-derived stem cells (PDLSCs), bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs), and gingival-derived stem cells (GMSCs). The primary outcomes were three histological indicators with continuous variables: newly formed alveolar bone (NB), newly formed cementum (NC), and newly formed periodontal ligament (NPDL). We performed pairwise meta-analyses using a random-effects model and then performed a random-effects NMA using a multivariate meta-analysis model. Results Sixty preclinical studies assessing five different stem cell-based therapies were identified. The NMA showed that in terms of NB, PDLSCs (standardized mean difference 1.87, 95% credible interval 1.24 to 2.51), BMSCs (1.88, 1.17 to 2.59), and DPSCs (1.69, 0.64 to 2.75) were statistically more efficacious than cell carriers (CCs). In addition, PDLSCs were superior to GMSCs (1.49, 0.04 to 2.94). For NC, PDLSCs (2.18, 1.48 to 2.87), BMSCs (2.11, 1.28 to 2.94), and ADSCs (1.55, 0.18 to 2.91) were superior to CCs. For NPDL, PDLSCs (1.69, 0.92 to 2.47) and BMSCs (1.41, 0.56 to 2.26) were more efficacious than CCs, and PDLSCs (1.26, 0.11 to 2.42) were superior to GMSCs. The results of treatment hierarchies also demonstrated that the two highest-ranked interventions were PDLSCs and BMSCs. Conclusion PDLSCs and BMSCs were the most effective and well-documented stem cells for PTR among the five kinds of stem cells evaluated in this study, and there was no statistical significance between them. To translate the stem cell therapies for PTR successfully in the clinic, future studies should utilize robust experimental designs and reports.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) are important for periodontal tissue regeneration, but how these cells are regulated remains unclear. PRDM (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ homology domain containing) genes play key roles in cell proliferation and differentiation. The present study aimed to investigate the role of one PRDM gene, PRDM9, in the proliferation, migration and chemotaxis potential of PDLSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell proliferation was examined on the basis of the cell doubling time, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assays, and flow cytometry analysis of the cell cycle. Gene expression was detected by Western blotting and real-time RT-PCR. Scratch migration and Transwell chemotaxis assays were used to analyse cell migration and chemotaxis abilities. Microarray analysis and ChIP assays were used to examine the downstream genes of PRDM9 and the corresponding mechanism. RESULTS The results showed that knock-down of PRDM9 enhanced cell proliferation by promoting cell cycle progression and rapid transition from the G1 to S phase via downregulation of p21 and p27 and upregulation of cyclin E. Additionally, depletion of PRDM9 increased the migration and chemotaxis potential of PDLSCs. Microarray results showed that 13 genes, including IGFBP5, IFI44L, and POSTN, were upregulated and 34 genes, including PIP, were downregulated after the depletion of PRDM9. Furthermore, we observed that the depletion of PRDM9 promoted the transcription of IGFBP5 by increasing H3K4me3 methylation in the IGFBP5 promoter. CONCLUSION These discoveries indicated that depletion of PRDM9 increased the cell proliferation, migration and chemotaxis potential of PDLSCs and revealed important downstream genes.

Abstract
Under physiological conditions skeletal muscle regeneration depends on the satellite cells. After injury these cells become activated, proliferate, and differentiate into myofibers reconstructing damaged tissue. Under pathological conditions satellite cells are not sufficient to support regeneration. For this reason, other cells are sought to be used in cell therapies, and different factors are tested as a tool to improve the regenerative potential of such cells. Many studies are conducted using animal cells, omitting the necessity to learn about human cells and compare them to animal ones. Here, we analyze and compare the impact of IL-4 and SDF-1, factors chosen by us on the basis of their ability to support myogenic differentiation and cell migration, at mouse and human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs). Importantly, we documented that mouse and human ADSCs differ in certain reactions to IL-4 and SDF-1. In general, the selected factors impacted transcriptome of ADSCs and improved migration and fusion ability of cells in vitro. In vivo, after transplantation into injured muscles, mouse ADSCs more eagerly participated in new myofiber formation than the human ones. However, regardless of the origin, ADSCs alleviated immune response and supported muscle reconstruction, and cytokine treatment enhanced these effects. Thus, we documented that the presence of ADSCs improves skeletal muscle regeneration and this influence could be increased by cell pretreatment with IL-4 and SDF-1.

Abstract
Glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) is a type I transmembrane protein that can modulate osteoblasts and bone mineralization. Periodontal disease (PD) is characterized by gum inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, and tooth loss. In this study, we found that GPNMB is highly expressed in inflamed periodontal tissue through microarray and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. The role of GPNMB in the pathogenesis of PD was evaluated with primary human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a GPNMB-expressing lentivirus (lenti-GP). In the hPDLCs treated with LPS and lenti-GP, the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 was suppressed and that of IL-10 was upregulated. GPNMB significantly decreased apoptosis in the hPDLCs treated with LPS. GPNMB could upregulate the expression of Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (Jmjd3), a histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase that is linked to the modulation of the inflammatory response and apoptosis. Taken together, our data find that GPNMB is highly expressed in gum tissue with PD and may be an anti-inflammatory player in the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
Approximately 10% of bone fractures do not heal satisfactorily, leading to significant clinical and socioeconomic implications. Recently, the role of macrophages in regulating bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) differentiation through the osteogenic pathway during fracture healing has attracted much attention. Methods: The tibial monocortical defect model was employed to determine the critical role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) during intramembranous ossification (IO) in vivo. The potential functions and mechanisms of MSR1 were explored in a co-culture system of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), RAW264.7 cells, and BMSCs using qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and RNA sequencing. Results: In this study, using the tibial monocortical defect model, we observed delayed IO in MSR1 knockout (KO) mice compared to MSR1 wild-type (WT) mice. Furthermore, macrophage MSR1 mediated PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling increased ability to promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in the co-culture system. We also identified proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) as the target gene for macrophage MSR1-activated PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway in the co-culture system that facilitated M2-like polarization by enhancing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Conclusion: Our findings revealed a previously unrecognized function of MSR1 in macrophages during fracture repair. Targeting MSR1 might, therefore, be a new therapeutic strategy for fracture repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exosomes have been shown to play a strong role in intercellular communication. While GMSCs have been extensively studied, less research exists on exosomes derived from GMSCs, especially on how exosomes affect macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the impact of GMSC-derived exosomes on macrophage polarization and phenotype under inflammatory conditions. METHODS Exosomes were isolated from GMSCs-conditioned media by ultracentrifugation (UC) and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot (WB). In vitro, GMSC-derived exosomes were co-incubated with macrophages for 24 h in the absence or presence of M1 polarizing conditions in the six-well plate. The protein and mRNA expression levels of M1 and M2 macrophage markers were detected and the supernatants were collected for an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Exosomes were successfully isolated from GMSCs. Macrophages co-cultured with exosomes showed significantly decreased levels of the M1 markers Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-12 (IL-12), CD86 and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β). By contrast, M2 marker Interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels moderately increased. Meanwhile, similar results were acquired in the cell culture supernatants. CONCLUSION GMSC-derived exosomes may promote M1 macrophage transformation into M2 macrophages, reducing the pro-inflammatory factors produced by M1 macrophages.

Abstract
Background Previous research revealed that luteolin could improve the activation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin in mouse osteoblasts. We aimed to determine the effect of luteolin on osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Methods Cultured human PDLCs (HPDLCs) were treated by luteolin at 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L, Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor (XAV939, 5 μmol/L) alone or in combination with 1 μmol/L luteolin. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to ensure cells source. Cell activity and the ability of osteogenic differentiation in HPDLCs were determined by MTT, ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. Real-time Quantitative PCR Detecting System (qPCR) and Western blot were performed to measure the expressions of osteogenic differentiation-related genes such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Osterix (OSX) and Wnt/β-catenin pathway proteins members cyclin D1 and β-catenin. Results Luteolin at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L promoted cell viability, ALP activity and increased calcified nodules content in HPDLCs. The expressions of BMP2, OCN, OSX, RUNX2, β-catenin and cyclin D1 were increased by luteolin at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1 μmol/L, noticeably, 1 μmol/L luteolin produced the strongest effects. In addition, XAV939 inhibited the expressions of calcification and osteogenic differentiation-related genes in HPDLCs, and 1 μmol/L luteolin availably decreased the inhibitory effect. Conclusion 1 μmol/L luteolin accelerated osteogenic differentiation of HPDLCs via activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which could be clinically applied to treat periodontal disease.

Abstract
Dental stem cells for dental pulp regeneration have become a new strategy for pulpitis treatment. Angiogenesis and neurogenesis play a vital role in the pulp-dentin complex regeneration, and appropriate growth factors will promote the process of angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is involved in the regulation of tooth growth and development. A previous study showed that IGFBP5 enhanced osteo/odontogenic differentiation of dental stem cells. Our research intends to reveal the function of IGFBP5 in the angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation of human dental stem cells. Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were used in the present study. Lentiviral IGFBP5 shRNA was used to silence the IGFBP5. Retroviruses expressing Wild-type IGFBP5 were used to over-express IGFBP5. Angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation were carried out by in vitro study. Real-time RT-PCR and western blot results showed that over-expression of IGFBP5 upregulated the expressions of angiogenic markers, including VEGF, PDGFA and ANG-1, and neurogenic markers, including NCAM, TH, Nestin, βIII-tubulin, and TH, in DPSCs. Moreover, microscope observation confirmed that over-expression of IGFBP5 enhanced neurosphere formation in DPSCs in size and amount. Immunofluorescence staining results showed that over-expression of IGFBP5 also prompted the percentage of Nestin and βIII-tubulin positive neurospheres in DPSCs. While depletion of IGFBP5 downregulated the expressions of VEGF, PDGFA, ANG-1, NCAM, TH, Nestin, βIII-tubulin, and TH, it decreased the neurosphere formation and percentage of Nestin and βIII-tubulin positive neurospheres in DPSCs. In conclusion, our results revealed that IGFBP5 promoted angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation potential of DPSCs in vitro and provided the possible potential target for enhancing directed differentiation of dental stem cells and dental pulp-dentin functional regeneration.

Abstract
Objectives Periodontitis is an inflammatory immune disease that causes periodontal tissue loss. Inflammatory immunity and bone metabolism are closely related to periodontitis. The cannabinoid receptor I (CB1) is an important constituent of the endocannabinoid system and participates in bone metabolism and inflammation tissue healing. It is unclear whether CB1 affects the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function involved in periodontal tissue regeneration. In this study, we revealed the role and mechanism of CB1 in the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in an inflammatory environment. Materials and methods Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin Red staining, quantitative calcium analysis and osteo/dentinogenic markers were used to assess osteo/dentinogenic differentiation. Real‐time RT‐PCR and Western blotting were employed to detect gene expression. Results CB1 overexpression or CB1 agonist (10 µM R‐1 Meth) promoted the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Deletion of CB1 or the application of CB1 antagonist (10 µM AM251) repressed the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. The activation of CB1 enhanced the TNF‐α‐ and INF‐γ‐impaired osteo/dentinogenic differentiation potential in PDLSCs. Moreover, CB1 activated p38 MAPK and JNK signalling and repressed PPAR‐γ and Erk1/2 signalling. Inhibition of JNK signalling could block CB1‐activated JNK and p38 MAPK signalling, while CB1 could activate p38 MAPK and JNK signalling, which was inhibited by TNF‐α and INF‐γ stimulation. Conclusions CB1 was able to enhance the osteo/dentinogenic differentiation ability of PDLSCs via p38 MAPK and JNK signalling in an inflammatory environment, which might be a potential target for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
Currently, stem cells are reported to be involved in tumor formation, drug resistance and recurrence. Inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells, promoting their senescence and apoptosis has been the most important anti-tumor therapy. Epigenetics is involved in the regulation of gene expression and is closely related to cancer and stem cells. It mainly includes DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling. Histone methylation and demethylation play an important role in histone modification. Histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) induces transcriptional inhibition and plays an important role in gene expression. Jumonji domain-containing protein-3 (JMJD3), one of the demethyases of histone H3K27me3, has been reported to be associated with the prognosis of many cancers and stem cells differentiation. Inhibition of JMJD3 can reduce proliferation and promote apoptosis in tumor cells, as well as suppress differentiation in stem cells. GSK-J4 is an inhibitor of demethylase JMJD3 and UTX, which has been shown to possess anti-cancer and inhibition of embryonic stem cells differentiation effects. In this review, we examine how JMJD3 regulates cellular fates of stem cells and cancer cells and references were identified through searches of PubMed, Medline, Web of Science.

Abstract
Although insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) may play a crucial role in activating the functions of periodontal and bone marrow stem cells, the factors responsible for regulating the maintenance of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) remain to be clarified. This study aimed to elucidate the role of IGFBP5 in maintaining pulpal homeostasis during tooth development and pulpal healing after tooth injury in doxycycline-inducible TetOP-histone 2B (H2B)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice (GFP expression was induced at E14.5 or E15.5) by using TUNEL assay, RT-PCR, in situ hybridization for Igfbp5, and immunohistochemistry for IGFBP5, Nestin, and GFP. To observe the pulpal response to exogenous stimuli, the roots of the maxillary first molars were resected, and the coronal portion was autografted into the sublingual region. Intense IGFBP5/Igfbp5 expression was observed in cells from the center of the pulp tissue and the subodontoblastic layer in developing teeth during postnatal Week 4. Intense H2B-GFP-expressing label-retaining cells (LRCs) were localized in the subodontoblastic layer in addition to the center of the pulp tissue, suggesting that slowly dividing cell populations reside in these areas. During postoperative days 3–7, the LRCs were maintained in the dental pulp, showed an IGFBP5-positve reaction in their nuclei, and lacked a TUNEL-positive reaction. In situ hybridization and RT-PCR analyses confirmed the expression of Igfbp5 in the dental pulp. These findings suggest that IGFBP5 play a pivotal role in regulating the survival and apoptosis of DPSCs during both tooth development and pulpal healing following tooth injury.

Entomopathogenic fungus as well as their toxins is a natural threat surrounding social insect colonies. To defend against them, social insects have evolved a series of unique disease defenses at the colony level, which consists of behavioral and physiological adaptations. These colony-level defenses can reduce the infection and poisoning risk and improve the survival of societal members, and is known as social immunity. In this review, we discuss how social immunity enables the insect colony to avoid, resist and tolerate fungal pathogens. To understand the molecular basis of social immunity, we highlight several genetic elements and biochemical factors that drive the colony-level defense, which needs further verification. We discuss the chemosensory genes in regulating social behaviors, the antifungal secretions such as some insect venoms in external defense and the immune priming in internal defense. To conclude, we show the possible driving force of the fungal toxins for the evolution of social immunity. Throughout the review, we propose several questions involved in social immunity extended from some phenomena that have been reported. We hope our review about social 'host-fungal pathogen' interactions will help us further understand the mechanism of social immunity in eusocial insects.

Abstract
Background and Objective This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of azithromycin (AZM) treatment on the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) after their stimulation with TNF-α in vitro. Methods. PDLSCs were isolated from periodontal ligaments from extracted teeth, and MTS assay was used to evaluate whether AZM and TNF-α had toxic effects on PDLSCs viability and proliferation. After stimulating PDLSCs with TNF-α and AZM, we analyzed alkaline phosphatase staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and alizarin red staining to detect osteogenic differentiation. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed to detect the mRNA expression of osteogenic-related genes, including RUNX2, OCN, and BSP. Western blotting was used to measure the NF-κB signaling pathway proteins p65, phosphorylated p65, IκB-α, phosphorylated IκB-α, and β-catenin as well as the apoptosis-related proteins caspase-8 and caspase-3. Annexin V assay was used to detect PDLSCs apoptosis. Results TNF-α stimulation of PDLSCs decreased alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mRNA expression of RUNX2, OCN, and BSP in osteogenic-conditioned medium. AZM enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs that were stimulated with TNF-α. Western blot analysis showed that β-catenin, phosphorated p65, and phosphorylated IκB-α protein expression decreased in PDLSCs treated with AZM. In addition, pretreatment of PDLSCs with AZM (10 μg/ml, 20 μg/ml) prevented TNF-α-induced apoptosis by decreasing caspase-8 and caspase-3 expression. Conclusions Our results showed that AZM promotes PDLSCs osteogenic differentiation in an inflammatory microenvironment by inhibiting the WNT and NF-κB signaling pathways and by suppressing TNF-α-induced apoptosis. This suggests that AZM has potential as a clinical therapeutic for periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have been extensively explored as a promising therapeutic agent due to their differentiation, proliferation and migration abilities. The epigenetic mechanisms that regulate the fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been described in detail. However, the epigenetic modulation of ADSCs proliferation and migration is poorly understood. METHODS The present study examined histone demethylases roles and expression by RT-PCR, as well as through siRNA screening and ChIP-qPCR assay. Cellular proliferation and migration assays were employed in shRNA-mediated JMJD6 knockdown and control ADSCs. PDE1C inhibition studies were conducted to confirm its role in JMJD6-mediated epigenetic regulation of ADSCs. RESULTS The data demonstrate that the histone demethylase JMJD6 plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and migration of ADSCs by removing H4R3me2a at the promoter regions of PDEC1 and suppressing PDEC1 expression. Importantly, the depletion of JMJD6 in ADSCs significantly increased cellular proliferation and motility, which was associated with increases in PDE1C expression and decreases in the levels of both cAMP and cGMP. The increase in proliferation and migration was reversed by treatment with a PDE1C inhibitor, suggesting that JMJD6 attenuates the proliferation and migration of ADSCs as an epigenetic regulator and PDE1C partially contributes to the JMJD6-mediated regulation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results indicate for the first time that JMJD6 plays an important role in the regulation of ADSCs proliferation and migration through the modulation of PDE1C expression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a reliable cell source for tissue regeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the directed differentiation of MSCs remain unclear which impedes potential clinical applications. Recent studies have discovered that Homeobox (HOX) genes are involved in the differentiation regulation of MSCs and bone formation. In this study, we investigate the HOXC10 function in the osteogenic differentiation potential of MSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were used in this study. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assays, ALP staining, Alizarin red staining, quantitative calcium analysis, osteogenesis-associated gene expression, and in vivo transplantation experiments were used to study osteogenic differentiation potential. RESULTS Our results showed that overexpression of HOXC10 in SCAPs inhibited ALP activity and mineralization in vitro and decreased the mRNA expression of collagen alpha-1 (I) chain, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and a key transcription factor, runt-related transcription factor 2, in SCAPs. Depletion of HOXC10 promoted osteogenic differentiation in SCAPs in vitro. In addition, in vivo transplantation experiments in nude mice confirmed that SCAPs osteogenesis was triggered when HOXC10 was downregulated. Furthermore, depletion of HOXC10 also enhanced osteogenic differentiation in ADSCs. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results indicated that HOXC10 decreased the MSC osteogenic differentiation potential. Thus, inhibition of HOXC10 in MSCs might have the potential to improve tissue regeneration and provide insight into the mechanism underlying the directed differentiation of MSCs.

Abstract
OVERVIEW Periostin (POSTN) is critical to bone and dental tissue morphogenesis, postnatal development, and maintenance; however, its roles in tissue repair and regeneration mediated by human periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) remain unclear. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of POSTN on hPDLSCs in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS hPDLSCs were isolated and characterized by their expression of the cell surface markers CD44, CD90, CD105, CD34, and CD45. Next, 100 ng/mL recombinant human POSTN protein (rhPOSTN) was used to stimulate the hPDLSCs. Lentiviral POSTN shRNA was used to knockdown POSTN. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and scratch assay were used to analyze cell proliferation and migration, respectively. Osteogenic differentiation was investigated using an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, alizarin staining, and quantitative calcium analysis and related genes/protein expression assays. RESULTS Isolated hPDLSCs were positive for CD44, CD90, and CD105 and negative for CD34 and CD45. In addition, 100 ng/mL rhPOSTN significantly accelerated scratch closure, and POSTN-knockdown cells presented slower closure at 24 h and 48 h. Furthermore, the integrin inhibitor Cilengitide depressed the scratch closure that was enhanced by POSTN at 24 h. The CCK8 assay showed that 100 ng/mL rhPOSTN promoted hPDLSC proliferation. Moreover, 100 ng/mL rhPOSTN increased the expression of RUNX2, OSX, OPN, OCN, and VEGF and enhanced ALP activity and mineralization. POSTN silencing decreased the expression of RUNX2, OSX, OPN, OCN, and VEGF and inhibited ALP activity and mineralization. CONCLUSIONS POSTN accelerated the migration, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs.

Abstract
Insulinlike growth factor (IGF) binding proteins (IGFBPs) 1 to 6 are high-affinity regulators of IGF activity. They generally inhibit IGF actions by preventing binding to the IGF-I receptor but can also enhance their actions under some conditions. Posttranslational modifications such as glycosylation and phosphorylation modulate IGFBP properties, and IGFBP proteolysis results in IGF release. IGFBPs have more recently been shown to have IGF-independent actions. A number of mechanisms are involved, including modulation of other growth factor pathways, nuclear localization and transcriptional regulation, interaction with the sphingolipid pathway, and binding to non-IGF biomolecules in the extracellular space and matrix, on the cell surface and intracellularly. IGFBPs modulate important biological processes, including cell proliferation, survival, migration, senescence, autophagy, and angiogenesis. Their actions have been implicated in growth, metabolism, cancer, stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and immune regulation. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the regulation of IGFBP abundance. A more complete understanding of IGFBP biology is necessary to further define their cellular roles and determine their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES KDM6A has been demonstrated critical in the regulation of cell fates. However, whether KDM6A is involved in cartilage formation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of KDM6A in chondrogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, as well as the underlying epigenetic mechanisms. METHODS KDM6A shRNA was transfected into PDLSCs by lentivirus. The chondrogenic differentiation potential of PDLSCs was assessed by Alcian blue staining. Immunofluorescence was performed to demonstrate H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 levels during chondrogenesis. SOX9, Col2a1, ACAN and miRNAs (miR-29a, miR-204, miR-211) were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Western blot was performed to evaluate SOX9, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. RESULTS The production of proteoglycans in PDLSCs was decreased after knockdown of KDM6A. Depletion of KDM6A inhibited the expression of SOX9, Col2a1, ACAN and resulted in increased H3K27me3 and decreased H3K4me3 levels. EZH2 inhibitor rescued the chondrogenic potential of PDLSCs after knockdown of KDM6A by regulating H3K27me3. Additionally, miR-29a, miR-204 and miR-211 were also involved in the process of PDLSCs chondrogenesis. CONCLUSIONS KDM6A is required in chondrogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by demethylation of H3K27me3, and EZH2 inhibitor could rescue chondrogenesis of PDLSCs after knockdown of KDM6A. It could be inferred that upregulation of KDM6A or application of EZH2 inhibitor might improve mesenchymal stem cell mediated cartilage regeneration in inflammatory tissue destruction such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been emerging as critical regulators in various tissues and biological processes, little is known about their expression and regulation during the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in inflammatory microenvironment. In this study, we have identified 63 lncRNAs that are not annotated in previous database. These novel lncRNAs were not randomly located in the genome but preferentially located near protein-coding genes related to particular functions and diseases, such as stem cell maintenance and differentiation, development disorders and inflammatory diseases. Moreover, we have identified 650 differentially expressed lncRNAs among different subsets of PDLSCs. Pathway enrichment analysis for neighboring protein-coding genes of these differentially expressed lncRNAs revealed stem cell differentiation related functions. Many of these differentially expressed lncRNAs function as competing endogenous RNAs that regulate protein-coding transcripts through competing shared miRNAs.

Abstract
Background Periodontitis is a widespread infectious disease ultimately resulting in tooth loss. The number of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patients with periodontitis is decreased, and MSC functions are impaired. Rescuing the impaired function of MSCs in periodontitis is the key for treatment, especially in a manner independent of exogenous MSCs. Our previous study found that overexpressed insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) could promote exogenous MSC-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration. Here, we investigate the role of IGFBP5 protein in MSCs and periodontal tissue regeneration independent of exogenous MSCs in an inflammatory niche. Methods TNFα was used to mimic the inflammatory niche. Lentiviral IGFBP5 shRNA was used to silence IGFBP5 and recombinant human IGFBP5 protein (rhIGFBP5) was used to stimulate the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). The effects of IGFBP5 on PDLSCs were evaluated using the scratch-simulated wound migration, Transwell chemotaxis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red staining, Cell Counting Kit-8, Western blot, Real-time PCR, Co-IP and ChIP assays. The swine model of periodontitis was used to investigate the functions of IGFBP5 for periodontal regeneration and its anti-inflammation effect. Results We discovered that 0.5 ng/ml rhIGFBP5 protein enhanced the migration, chemotaxis, osteo/dentinogenic differentiation and cell proliferation of MSCs under the inflammatory condition. Moreover, 0.5 ng/ml rhIGFBP5 application could rescue the impaired functions of IGFBP5-silenced-MSCs in the inflammatory niche. Furthermore, local injection of rhIGFBP5 could promote periodontal tissue regeneration and relieve the local inflammation in a minipig model of periodontitis. Mechanistically, we found that BCOR negatively regulated the expression of IGFBP5 in MSCs. BCOR formed a protein complex with histone demethylase KDM6B and raised histone K27 methylation in the IGFBP5 promoter. Conclusions This study revealed that rhIGFBP5 could activate the functions of MSCs in an inflammatory niche, provided insight into the mechanism underlying the activated capacities of MSCs, and identified IGFBP5 as a potential cytokine for improving tissue regeneration and periodontitis treatment independent of exogenous MSCs and its potential application in dental clinic.

Abstract
Lineage-committed differentiation is an essential biological program during odontogenesis, which is tightly regulated by lineage-specific genes. Some of these genes are modified by colocalization of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 marks at promoter regions in progenitors. These modifications, named "bivalent domains," maintain genes in a poised state and then resolve for later activation or repression during differentiation. Wnt5a has been reported to promote odontogenic differentiation in dental mesenchyme. However, relatively little is known about the epigenetic modulations on Wnt5a activation during tooth development. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 marks in developing mouse molars. Associated H3K4me3 methylases (mixed-lineage leukemia [MLL] complex) and H3K27me3 demethylases (JMJD3 and UTX) were dynamically expressed between early and late bell stage of human tooth germs and in cultured human dental papilla cells (hDPCs) during odontogenic induction. Poised WNT5A gene was marked by bivalent domains containing repressive marks (H3K27me3) and active marks (H3K4me3) on promoters. The bivalent domains tended to resolve during inducted differentiation, with removal of the H3K27me3 mark in a JMJD3-dependent manner. When JMJD3 was knocked down in cultured hDPCs, odontogenic differentiation was suppressed. The depletion of JMJD3 epigenetically repressed WNT5A activation by increased H3K27me3 marks. In addition, JMJD3 could physically interact with ASH2L, a component of the MLL complex, to form a coactivator complex, cooperatively modulating H3K4me3 marks on WNT5A promoters. Overall, our study reveals that transcription activities of WNT5A were epigenetically regulated by the negotiated balance between H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 marks and tightly mediated by JMJD3 and MLL coactivator complex, ultimately modulating odontogenic commitment during dental mesenchymal cell differentiation.

IGFBP2 enhances adipogenic differentiation potentials of mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord via JNK and Akt signaling pathways. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0184182.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated tissue engineering represents a promising strategy to address adipose tissue defects. MSCs derived from Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord (WJCMSCs) may serve as an ideal source for adipose tissue engineering due to their abundance, safety profile, and accessibility. How to activate the directed differentiation potentials of WJCMSCs is the core point for their clinical applications. A thorough investigation of mechanisms involved in WJCMSC adipogenic differentiation is necessary to support their application in adipose tissue engineering and address shortcomings. Previous study showed, compared with periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), WJCMSCs had a weakened adipogenic differentiation potentials and lower expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2). IGFBP2 may be involved in the adipogenesis of MSCs. Generally, IGFBP2 is involved in regulating biological activity of insulin-like growth factors, however, its functions in human MSCs are unclear. Here, we found IGFBP2 expression was upregulated upon adipogenic induction, and that IGFBP2 enhanced adipogenic differentiation of WJCMSCs and BMSCs. Moreover, IGFBP2 increased phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) and p-Akt, and activated JNK or Akt signaling significantly promoted adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, inhibitor-mediated blockage of either JNK or Akt signaling dramatically reduced IGFBP2-mediated adipogenic differentiation. And the JNK inhibitor, SP600125 markedly blocked IGFBP2-mediated Akt activation. Moreover, IGFBP2 was negatively regulated by BCOR, which inhibited adipogenic differentiation of WJCMSCs. Overall, our results reveal a new function of IGFBP2, providing a novel insight into the mechanism of adipogenic differentiation and identifying a potential target mediator for improving adipose tissue engineering based on WJCMSCs.
