Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammation of the dental pulp tissue caused by bacteria, creating an immunology response of death of the dental pulp, is called apoptosis. The Porphyromonas gingivalis that cause apoptosis is lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through toll-like receptor (TLR) via two different mechanisms, intracellular and extracellular pathways. This study analyzed the role of LPS exposure of neuron cells, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and cytochrome c (cyt-c) expression in the dental pulp to predict the possible mechanism of apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lower tooth of Sprague Dawley rats was opened and exposed to LPS for 48 hours. Then the neuron cell analyzed histopathology using hematoxylin-eosin, whereas the TNF-α and cyt-c expression with indirect immunohistochemistry using a light microscope. The relationship between neuron cells with TNF-α and cyt-c was analyzed using stepwise regression linear analysis. RESULT The LPS exposure showed a lower number of neuron cells and had a relationship with TNF-α expression but not with cyt-c, while compared with control, both TNF-α and cyt-c expression were higher in neuron cells. CONCLUSION LPS exposure in dental pulp is possible to stimulate the apoptosis process through extracellular pathways marked by higher TNF-α expression.

Abstract
Dental tissue stem cells (DTSCs) are well known for their multipotent capacity and regenerative potential. They also play an important role in the immune response of inflammatory processes derived from caries lesions, periodontitis, and gingivitis. These oral diseases are triggered by toxins known as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) produced by gram-negative bacteria. LPS present molecular patterns associated with pathogens and are recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in dental stem cells. In this review, we describe the effect of LPS on the biological behavior of DTSCs. We also focus on the molecular sensors, signaling pathways, and emerging players participating in the interaction of DTSCs with lipopolysaccharides. Although the scientific advances generated provide an understanding of the immunomodulatory potential of DTSCs, there are still new reflections to explore with regard to their clinical application in the treatment of oral inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
This research aimed to find important genes and pathways related to cellular senescence (CS) in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and to estimate the possible pathways through which CS affects diabetic foot healing. The GSE80178 dataset was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, containing six DFU and three diabetic foot skin (DFS) samples. The limma package was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). At the same time, DEGs associated with CS (CS-DEGs) were found using the CellAge database. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted on the CS-DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was built using the String database, and the cytoHubba plug-in within Cytoscape helped identify hub genes. Lastly, the miRNA-TF-mRNA regulatory network for these hub genes was established. In total, 66 CS-DEGs were obtained. These genes mainly focus on CS, Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection and Toll-like receptor signalling pathway. Eight hub genes were identified to regulate cell senescence in DFU, including TP53, SRC, SIRT1, CCND1, EZH2, CXCL8, AR and CDK4. According to miRNA-TF-mRNA regulatory network, hsa-mir-132-3p/SIRT1/EZH2 axis is involved in senescence cell accumulation in DFU.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on cellular senescence induction of human apical papilla cells (hAPCs) and evaluate the potential use of 50 μg/ml ascorbic acid to recover cellular senescence and regenerative functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS hAPCs were treated with LPS at 1 and 10 μg/ml either with or without 50 μg/ml ascorbic acid for 48 h. The cellular senescence biomarkers were analyzed by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining and senescence-related gene expression, p16 and p21. Cell migration, at 12 h and 24 h, was evaluated using a scratch wound assay. Mineralization potential was assessed at 21 days using Alizarin red S staining and dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) gene expression. RESULTS 1 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml LPS stimulation for 48 h induced cellular senescence, as shown by remarkable SA-β-gal staining and p16 and p21 gene expression. The percentage of wound closure and mineralized formation was reduced. The co-incubation with ascorbic acid significantly down-regulated the level of SA-β-gal staining. The reduction of senescence-associated gene expressions was observed. Ascorbic acid improved cell migration, mineralized nodule formation, and the expression of DSPP and BSP genes in LPS-treated hAPCs. CONCLUSIONS LPS significantly promoted cellular senescence on hAPCs and diminished the cell function capacity. Co-presence of ascorbic acid could impede cellular senescence and possibly improve the regenerative capacity of LPS-induced senescent hAPCs in vitro. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The data support the in vitro potential benefit of ascorbic acid on cellular senescence recovery of apical papilla cells.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by physical dysfunction and physiologic degeneration that occurs over an individual's lifetime. Human teeth, like many other organs, inevitably undergo chronological aging and age-related changes throughout the lifespan, resulting in a substantial need for preventive, restorative as well as periodontal dental care. This is particularly the case for seniors at 65 years of age and those older but economically disadvantaged. Dental aging not only interferes with normal chewing and digestion, but also affects daily appearance and interpersonal communications. Further dental aging can incur the case of multiple disorders such as oral cancer, encephalitis, and other systemic diseases. In the next decades or even hundreds of years, the proportion of the elderly in the global population will continue to rise, a tendency that attracts increasing attention across multiple scientific and medical disciplines. Dental aging will bring a variety of problems to the elderly themselves and poses serious challenges to the medical profession and social system. A reduced, but functional dentition comprising 20 teeth in occlusion has been proposed as a measurement index of successful dental aging. Healthy dental aging is critical to healthy aging, from both medical and social perspectives. To date, biomedical research on the causes, processes and regulatory mechanisms of dental aging is still in its infancy. In this article, updated insights into typical manifestations, associated pathologies, preventive strategies and molecular changes of dental aging are provided, with future research directions largely projected.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a high incidence and severity in the elderly population, making it a significant public health concern. Ageing is a primary risk factor for the development of periodontitis, exacerbating alveolar bone loss and leading to tooth loss in the geriatric population. Despite extensive research, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between ageing and periodontitis remain elusive. Understanding the intricate mechanisms that connect ageing and inflammation may help reveal new therapeutic targets and provide valuable options to tackle the challenges encountered by the rapidly expanding global ageing population. In this review, we highlight the latest scientific breakthroughs in the pathways by which inflammaging mediates the decline in periodontal function and triggers the onset of periodontitis. We also provide a comprehensive overview of the latest findings and discuss potential avenues for future research in this critical area of investigation.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) has become an elective source of mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) in dentistry. This research aimed to compare healthy PDLSCs (hPDLSCs) and periodontitis PDLSCs (pPDLSCs) to ascertain any possible functional differences owing to their milieux of origin. Cells were tested in terms of colony-forming unit efficiency; multi differentiating capacity; immunophenotype, stemness, and senescent state were studied by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and β-galactosidase staining; gene expression using RT-PCR. Both hPDLSCs and pPDLSCs were comparable in terms of their immunophenotype and multilineage differentiation capabilities, but pPDLSCs showed a senescent phenotype more frequently. Thus, a selective small molecule inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), RG108, known for its effect on senescence, was used to possibly reverse this phenotype. RG108 did not affect the proliferation and apoptosis of PDLSCs, and it showed little effect on hPDLSCs, while a significant reduction of both p16 and p21 was detected along with an increase of SOX2 and OCT4 in pPDLSCs after treatment at 100 μM RG108. Moreover, the subset of PDLSCs co-expressing OCT4 and p21 decreased, and adipogenic potential increased in pPDLSCs after treatment. pPDLSCs displayed a senescent phenotype that could be reversed, opening new perspectives for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simulating a bacterial-induced pulpitis environment in vitro may contribute to exploring mechanisms and bioactive molecules to counteract these adverse effects. OBJECTIVE To investigate the chronic exposure of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) aiming to establish a cell culture protocol to simulate the impaired odontogenic potential under pulpitis conditions. METHODOLOGY HDPCs were isolated from four healthy molars of different donors and seeded in culture plates in a growth medium. After 24 h, the medium was changed to an odontogenic differentiation medium (DM) supplemented or not with E. coli LPS (0 - control, 0.1, 1, or 10 µg/mL) (n=8). The medium was renewed every two days for up to seven days, then replaced with LPS-free DM for up to 21 days. The activation of NF-κB and F-actin expression were assessed (immunofluorescence) after one and seven days. On day 7, cells were evaluated for both the gene expression (RT-qPCR) of odontogenic markers (COL1A1, ALPL, DSPP, and DMP1) and cytokines (TNF, IL1B, IL8, and IL6) and the production of reactive nitrogen (Griess) and oxygen species (Carboxy-H2DCFDA). Cell viability (alamarBlue) was evaluated weekly, and mineralization was assessed (Alizarin Red) at 14 and 21 days. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α=5%). RESULTS After one and seven days of exposure to LPS, NF-κB was activated in a dose-dependent fashion. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL concentrations down-regulated the gene expression of odontogenic markers and up-regulated cytokines. LPS at 10 µg/mL increased both the production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. LPS decreased cell viability seven days after the end of exposure. LPS at 1 and 10 µg/mL decreased hDPCs mineralization in a dose-dependent fashion. CONCLUSION The exposure to 10 µg/mL LPS for seven days creates an inflammatory environment that is able to impair by more than half the odontogenic potential of HDPCs in vitro, simulating a pulpitis-like condition.

Abstract
Background /purpose: Dental pulp plays an important role in the maintenance of tooth homeostasis and repair. The aging of dental pulp affects the functional life of the tooth owing to the senescence of dental pulp cells. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in regulating cellular senescence in dental pulp. We have recently demonstrated that visfatin induces the senescence of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Here, we explored the association of TLR4 with visfatin signaling in cellular senescence in hDPCs. Materials and methods mRNA levels were determined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative real time-PCR. Protein levels were determined using immunofluorescence staining and Western blot analysis. Gene silencing was performed using small interfering RNA. The degree of cellular senescence was measured by senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. Oxidative stress was determined by measurement of NADP/NADPH levels and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Results Neutralizing anti-TLR4 antibodies or TLR4 inhibitor markedly blocked visfatin-induced hDPCs senescence, as revealed by an increase in the number of SA-β-gal-positive hDPCs and upregulation of p21 and p53 proteins. Moreover, visfatin-induced senescence was associated with excessive ROS production; NADPH consumption; telomere DNA damage induction; interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, cyclooxygenase-2, and tumor necrosis factor-α upregulation; and nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. All of these alterations were attenuated by TLR4 blockade. Conclusion Our findings indicate that TLR4 plays an important role in visfatin-induced senescence of hDPCs and suggest that the visfatin/TLR4 signaling axis can be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammaging-related diseases, including pulpitis.

Abstract
AIM To determine the effects of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and both combined on cell proliferation/differentiation, inflammation, mitochondrial dynamics as indicated by mitochondrial fission/fusion, antioxidants as indicated by superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), and apoptosis of human dental pulpal cells (HDPCs). METHODOLOGY Pulpal tissues from eight healthy subjects (n = 8) were collected from Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University. Isolated HDPCs from healthy donors were divided into four experimental groups: vehicle, 20 μg/ml LPS, 400 μM H2 O2 , and the two combined. All experimental groups were investigated to assess cell proliferation, mineralization, differentiation, inflammation, mitochondrial dynamics, antioxidants, and apoptosis. RESULTS H2 O2 and combined agents decreased cell proliferation of HDPCs equally. LPS, H2 O2, and both combined decreased mineralization and differentiation with an increase in tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels. Surprisingly, LPS and combined agents increased SOD2 expression and caused an imbalance in mitochondrial dynamics. A significant increase in apoptosis was observed in the case of H2 O2 and combined agents. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that LPS induced inflammation, imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics, and reduced cell differentiation without altering apoptosis and cell proliferation. However, H2 O2 decreased cell proliferation, and differentiation, and increased inflammation, and apoptosis without interfering with mitochondrial dynamics. Based on our findings, combining LPS and H2 O2 could be potentially used as the inducers in in vitro study to mimic the clinical pulpitis.

Huang P, Wang F, Wang X, Meng X, Qiao W, Meng L. RNA-sequencing analysis reveals the potential molecular mechanism of RAD54B in the proliferation of inflamed human dental pulp cells. Int Endod J 2023; 56:39-52. [PMID: 36196684 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of RAD54B in the proliferation of inflamed human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODOLOGY Normal, carious and pulpitic human dental pulp tissues were collected. Total RNA was subjected to RNA-sequencing (seq) and gene expression profiles were studied by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in homologous recombination repair (HRR) were validated with qRT-PCR. The expression of RAD54B and TNF-α in human dental pulp tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry. HDPCs were cultured and RAD54B level in hDPCs was detected after LPS stimulation using western blot. CCK-8 was used to investigate the proliferation of hDPCs transfected with negative control (Nc) small interfering RNA (siRNA), RAD54B siRNA, P53 siRNA or both siRNAs with or without LPS stimulation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution, and western blot and immunofluorescence were used to analyse the expression of RAD54B, P53 and P21 under the above treatments. One-way and two-way anova followed by least significant difference posttest were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS RNA-seq results identified DEGs amongst the three groups. KEGG pathway analysis revealed enrichment of DEGs in the replication and repair pathway. HRR and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) components were further verified and qRT-PCR results were basically consistent with the sequencing data. RAD54B, an HRR accessory factor highly expressed in carious and pulpitic tissues as compared to that in normal pulps, was chosen as our gene of interest. High RAD54B expression was confirmed in inflamed human dental pulp tissues and LPS-stimulated hDPCs. Upon RAD54B knockdown, P53 and P21 expressions in hDPCs were upregulated whereas the proliferation was significantly downregulated, accompanied by increased G2/M phase arrest. After inhibiting P53 expression in RAD54B-knockdown hDPCs, P21 expression and cell proliferation were reversed. CONCLUSIONS Gene expression profiles of normal, carious and pulpitic human dental pulp tissues were revealed. HRR components were elucidated to function in dental pulp inflammation. Amongst the DEGs in HRR, RAD54B regulated the proliferation of inflamed hDPCs via P53/P21 signalling. This research deepens our understanding of dental pulp inflammation and provides new insight to clarify the underlying mechanisms.

SCIENCE CHINA. LIFE SCIENCES 2022; 65:2218-2232. [PMID: 35633481 DOI: 10.1007/s11427-021-2096-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Cellular senescence affects the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-mediated tissue regeneration. Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins-7 (IGFBP7), as a member of the IGF family, is associated with osteogenic differentiation and the senescence of MSCs, but its exact function and mechanism remain unclear. We found IGFBP7 promoted the osteogenic differentiation and prevented the senescence of dental pulp-derived MSCs (DPSCs), as observed in the gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses, the senescence-associated marker p21 showed the most pronounced expression changes. We demonstrated that IGFBP7 activated the biological activity of SIRT1 deacetylase via metabolism, resulting in a deacetylation of H3K36ac and a decrease of the binding affinity of H3K36ac to p21 promoter, thereby reducing the transcription of p21, which ultimately prevents DPSCs senescence and promotes tissue regeneration. The activation of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) by Coenzyme Q10 could rescue the promotion of DPSC senescence induced by the knockdown of IGFBP7, whereas the inhibition of ETC by rotenone attenuated the prevention of DPSC senescence induced by IGFBP7 overexpression. In conclusion, our present results reveal a novel function of IGFBP7 in preventing DPSC senescence via the metabolism-induced deacetylation of H3K36ac and reduction of p21 transcription, suggesting that IGFBP7 is a potential target for promoting tissue regeneration in an aging environment.

Combination of G-CSF and a TLR4 inhibitor reduce inflammation and promote regeneration in a mouse model of ACLF. J Hepatol 2022; 77:1325-1338. [PMID: 35843375 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2022.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterised by high short-term mortality, systemic inflammation, and failure of hepatic regeneration. Its treatment is a major unmet medical need. This study was conducted to explore whether combining TAK-242, a Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) antagonist, with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), could reduce inflammation whilst enhancing liver regeneration. METHODS Two mouse models of ACLF were investigated. Chronic liver injury was induced by carbon tetrachloride; lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or galactosamine (GalN) were then administered as extrahepatic or hepatic insults, respectively. G-CSF and/or TAK-242 were administered daily. Treatment durations were 24 hours and 5 days in the LPS model and 48 hours in the GalN model. RESULTS In a mouse model of LPS-induced ACLF, treatment with G-CSF was associated with significant mortality (66% after 48 hours vs. 0% without G-CSF). Addition of TAK-242 to G-CSF abrogated mortality (0%) and significantly reduced liver cell death, macrophage infiltration and inflammation. In the GalN model, both G-CSF and TAK-242, when used individually, reduced liver injury but their combination was significantly more effective. G-CSF treatment, with or without TAK-242, was associated with activation of the pro-regenerative and anti-apoptotic STAT3 pathway. LPS-driven ACLF was characterised by p21 overexpression, which is indicative of hepatic senescence and inhibition of hepatocyte regeneration. While TAK-242 treatment mitigated the effect on senescence, G-CSF, when co-administered with TAK-242, resulted in a significant increase in markers of hepatocyte regeneration. CONCLUSION The combination of TAK-242 and G-CSF inhibits inflammation, promotes hepatic regeneration and prevents mortality in models of ACLF; thus, this combination could be a potential treatment option for ACLF. LAY SUMMARY Acute-on-chronic liver failure is associated with severe liver inflammation and poor short-term survival. Therefore, effective treatments are urgently needed. Herein, we have shown, using mouse models, that the combination of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (which can promote liver regeneration) and TAK-242 (which inhibits a receptor that plays a key role in inflammation) could be effective for the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Abstract
The human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are one of the readily available sources of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and can be considered as a type of tool cells for cell‐based therapies. However, the main limitation in the clinical use of these cells is DPSC senescence, which can be induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of oral pathogenic bacteria. Up to now, far little attention has been paid to exploring the molecular mechanisms of senescence in DPSCs. So, the current study aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of senescence in hDPSCs stimulated with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Escherichia coli (E. coli)‐derived LPSs, by evaluating both mRNA and protein expression of four important senescence‐related genes, including TP53, CDKN1A, CDKN2A and SIRT1. To this purpose, hDPSCs were stimulated with different LPSs for 6, 24 and 48 h and then the gene expression was evaluated using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blotting. Following stimulation with P. gingivalis and E. coli‐derived LPSs, the relative mRNA and protein expression of all genes were significantly up‐regulated in a time‐dependent manner, as compared with unstimulated hDPSCs. Moreover, the hDPSCs stimulated with P. gingivalis LPS for 6 and 24 h had the highest mRNA expression of CDKN1A and SIRT1, respectively (p < 0.0001), whereas the highest mRNA expression of CDKN2A and TP53 was seen in hDPSCs stimulated with E. coli LPS for 48 h (p < 0.0001). In summary, because DPSCs have been reported to have therapeutic potential for several cell‐based therapies, targeting molecular mechanisms aiming at preventing DPSC senescence could be considered a valuable strategy.

Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are promising for oral/craniofacial regeneration, but their purification and characterization is not yet standardized. hDPSCs from three donors were purified by magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS)-assisted STRO-1-positive cell enrichment (+), colony derivation (c), or a combination of both (c/+). Immunophenotype, clonogenicity, stemness marker expression, senescence, and proliferation were analyzed. Multilineage differentiation was assessed by qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and extracellular matrix mineralization. To confirm the credibility of the results, repeated measures analysis and post hoc p-value adjustment were applied. All hDPSC fractions expressed STRO-1 and were similar for several surface markers, while their clonogenicity and expression of CD10/44/105/146, and 166 varied with the purification method. (+) cells proliferated significantly faster than (c/+), while (c) showed the highest increase in metabolic activity. Colony formation was most efficient in (+) cells, which also exhibited the lowest cellular senescence. All hDPSCs produced mineralized extracellular matrix. Regarding osteogenic induction, (c/+) revealed a significant increase in mRNA expression of COL5A1 and COL6A1, while osteogenic marker genes were detected at varying levels. (c/+) were the only population missing BDNF gene transcription increase during neurogenic induction. All hDPSCs were able to differentiate into chondrocytes. In summary, the three hDPSCs populations showed differences in phenotype, stemness, proliferation, and differentiation capacity. The data suggest that STRO-1-positive cell enrichment is the optimal choice for hDPSCs purification to maintain hDPSCs stemness. Furthermore, an (immuno) phenotypic characterization is the minimum requirement for quality control in hDPSCs studies.

Abstract
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also referred to as endotoxins, are major outer surface membrane components present on almost all Gram-negative bacteria and are major determinants of sepsis-related clinical complications including septic shock. LPS acts as a strong stimulator of innate or natural immunity in a wide variety of eukaryotic species ranging from insects to humans including specific effects on the adaptive immune system. However, following immune stimulation, lipopolysaccharide can induce tolerance which is an essential immune-homeostatic response that prevents overactivation of the inflammatory response. The tolerance induced by LPS is a state of reduced immune responsiveness due to persistent and repeated challenges, resulting in decreased expression of pro-inflammatory modulators and up-regulation of antimicrobials and other mediators that promote a reduction of inflammation. The presence of environmental-derived LPS may play a key role in decreasing autoimmune diseases and gut tolerance to the plethora of ingested antigens. The use of LPS may be an important immune adjuvant as demonstrated by the promotion of IDO1 increase when present in the fusion protein complex of CTB-INS (a chimera of the cholera toxin B subunit linked to proinsulin) that inhibits human monocyte-derived DC (moDC) activation, which may act through an IDO1-dependent pathway. The resultant state of DC tolerance can be further enhanced by the presence of residual E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is almost always present in partially purified CTB-INS preparations. The approach to using an adjuvant with an autoantigen in immunotherapy promises effective treatment for devastating tissue-specific autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes (T1D).

TLR4 Modulates Senescence and Paracrine Action in Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Inhibiting Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Preeclampsia. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7202837.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a heterogeneous disease closely associated with the accelerated senescence of the placentas. Placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) modulate placental development, which is abnormally senescent in PE together with abnormal paracrine. Both pivotal in the placenta development, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and Hedgehog (HH) pathway are also tightly involved in regulating cellular senescence. This study was aimed at demonstrating that TLR4/HH pathway modulated senescence of placentas and PMSCs in vitro and in vivo. Preeclamptic and normal PMSCs were isolated. Smoothed agonist (SAG) and cyclopamine were used to activate and inhibit HH pathway, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to activate TLR4 in vitro and establish the classic PE-like rat model. qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of TLR4 and HH components (SHH, SMO, and Gli1). Cellular biological function such as proliferation, apoptosis, and migration was compared. Cell cycle analysis, β-galactosidase staining, and the protein expressions of p16 and p53 were detected to analyze the cellular senescence. The secretion levels of human matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) were measured in the conditioned medium. Cell migration, invasion, and tube formation were analyzed in HTR8/SVneo cells or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our study demonstrated that activation of TLR4 accelerated senescence of PMSCs via suppressing HH pathway both in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by the detrimental paracrine to impair the uterine spiral artery remodeling and placental angiogenesis. Meanwhile, induction of HH pathway could alleviate PE-like manifestations, improve pregnancy outcomes, and ameliorate multiorgan injuries, suggesting that strengthening the HH pathway may serve as a potential therapy in PE.

Abstract
Sclerostin is the protein product of the SOST gene and is known for its inhibitory effects on bone formation. The monoclonal antibody against sclerostin has been approved as a novel treatment method for osteoporosis. Oral health is one of the essential aspects of general human health. Hereditary bone dysplasia syndrome caused by sclerostin deficiency is often accompanied by some dental malformations, inspiring the therapeutic exploration of sclerostin in the oral and dental fields. Recent studies have found that sclerostin is expressed in several functional cell types in oral tissues, and the expression level of sclerostin is altered in pathological conditions. Sclerostin not only exerts similar negative outcomes on the formation of alveolar bone and bone-like tissues, including dentin and cementum, but also participates in the development of oral inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis, pulpitis, and peri-implantitis. This review aims to highlight related research progress of sclerostin in oral cavity, propose necessary further research in this field, and discuss its potential as a therapeutic target for dental indications and regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from pulpitis patients showed defective osteogenic differentiation. However, as the most well-studied histone acetyltransferase, the impaired general control nonrepressed protein 5 (GCN5) plays essential roles in various developmental processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GCN5 on DPSCs odontogenic differentiation. The healthy dental pulp tissues were obtained from the extracted impacted third molar of patients with the informed consent. DPSCs were treated with a high concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (100 ng/mL) and odontogenic differentiation-related gene and GCN5 protein level by Western blot analysis. Proliferation of the DPSCs was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Immunofluorescence staining detected GCN5 and NF-κB signaling for p-p65. The mechanism of GCN5 regulating odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs was determined by small interfering RNA analysis. Our data suggested that TNF-α can significantly reduce mineralization and the expression of dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 and dentin sialophosphoprotein at higher concentration (100 ng/mL). Meanwhile, it showed that the inflammation in microenvironment resulted in a downregulation of GCN5 expression and GCN5 knockdown caused decreased odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs was also found. In addition, the knockdown of GCN5 increased the expression of phosphorylation of p65, thus activating NF-κB pathway of DPSCs. Meanwhile, NF-κB pathway inhibitor pyrrolidinedithiocarbamic acid reversed the siGCN5 decreased odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Altogether, our findings indicated that in inflammatory microenvironments GCN5 plays a protective role in pulpitis impaired odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs by activating NF-κB pathway, which may provide a potential approach to dentin regeneration.

Therapeutic Potential of Synthetic Human β-Defensin 1 Short Motif Pep-B on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:6141967. [PMID: 35110972 PMCID: PMC8803462 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6141967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Dental pulp inflammation is a widespread public problem usually caused by caries or trauma. Alleviating inflammation is critical to inflamed pulp repair. Human β-defensin 1 short motif Pep-B is a cationic peptide that has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunoregulation properties, but its repair effect on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) under inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory function of Pep-B and explore its therapeutic potential in lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) induced hDPSCs. CCK-8 assay and transwell assay evaluated effects of Pep-B on hDPSC proliferation and chemotaxis. Inflammatory response in hDPSCs was induced by LPS; after Pep-B application, lactate dehydrogenase release, intracellular ROS, inflammatory factor genes expression and possible signaling pathway were measured. Then, osteo-/odontoblast differentiation effect of Pep-B on LPS-induced hDPSCs was detected. The results showed that Pep-B promoted hDPSC proliferation and reduced LPS-induced proinflammatory marker expression, and western blot result indicated that Pep-B inhibited inflammatory activation mediated by NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Pep-B also enhanced the expression of the osteo-/odontogenic genes and proteins, alkaline phosphatase activity, and nodule mineralization in LPS-stimulated hDPSCs. These findings indicate that Pep-B has anti-inflammatory activity and promote osteo-/odontoblastic differentiation in LPS-induced inflammatory environment and may have a potential role of hDPSCs for repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is widely used for induction of inflammation in various human tissues, including dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to summarize current medical literature focusing on (1) cell types used by researchers to simulate dental pulp inflammation, (2) LPS variants utilized in experimental settings and how these choices affect the findings. Our study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We searched for studies reporting outcomes of lipopolysaccharide application on dental pulp cells in vitro using electronic databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus. Having gathered data from 115 papers, we aimed to present all known effects LPS has on different cell types present in dental pulp. We focused on specific receptors and particles that are involved in molecular pathways. Our review provides an essential foundation for further research using in vitro models of pulpitis.

Abstract
Among the long-term consequences of sepsis (also termed “post-sepsis syndrome”) the increased risk of unexplained cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction, acute heart failure or stroke, is one of the emerging specific health concerns. The vascular accelerated ageing also named premature senescence is a potential mechanism contributing to atherothrombosis, consequently leading to cardiovascular events. Indeed, vascular senescence-associated major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are a potential feature in sepsis survivors and of the elderly at cardiovascular risk. In these patients, accelerated vascular senescence could be one of the potential facilitating mechanisms. This review will focus on premature senescence in sepsis regardless of age. It will highlight and refine the potential relationships between sepsis and accelerated vascular senescence. In particular, key cellular mechanisms contributing to cardiovascular events in post-sepsis syndrome will be highlighted, and potential therapeutic strategies to reduce the cardiovascular risk will be further discussed. With improved management of patients, sepsis survivors are increasing each year. Early cardiovascular complications, of yet undeciphered mechanisms, are an emerging health issue in post-sepsis syndrome. Premature senescence of endothelium and vascular tissue is proven an accelerated process of atherogenesis in young septic rats. An increasing body of clinical evidence point at endothelial senescence in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. Prevention of premature senescence by senotherapy and cardiological follow-up could improve long-term septic patients’ outcomes.

Abstract
Humans are exposed to a wide range of bone tissue injuries. In severe cases, bone damages could be only treated with transplantation of autologous or allogeneic grafting.In recent years, tissue engineering has become a promising strategy for repairing damaged organs and tissues, providing a great opportunity to cure several diseases. Bone tissue engineering consists of three components: scaffold, cells, and growth factors. Current bone tissue engineering strategies combine the use of stem cells with biologically active materials and gene therapy to mimic the natural microenvironment of bone. The combination of the scaffold with growth factors and extracellular matrix protein molecules can promote cell attachment, proliferation, and induce osteogenesis, which could provide signals for cell migration to begin the healing process during repair and bone formation.This article reviews the principles of bone regeneration and the most current developments of bone tissue engineering related to bone growth factors, the biologically active materials, such as bacterial cellulose, and stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major adverse cardiovascular events among sepsis survivors is an emerging health issue. Because endothelial senescence leads to vascular dysfunction and atherothrombosis, sepsis could be associated to vascular stress-induced premature senescence and thus with long-term cardiovascular events. MATERIALS & METHODS Adult Wistar male rats were submitted to cecal ligation and puncture, or a SHAM operation. Markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and endothelial senescence were assessed at 3, 7 and 90 days (D), and vascular reactivity was assessed in conductance and resistance vessels at D90. Expression of proteins involved in senescence and inflammation was assessed by Western blot analysis and confocal microscopy, oxidative stress by dihydroethidium probing. RESULTS Pro-inflammatory endothelial ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were up-regulated by three-fold in CLP vs. SHAM at D7 and remained elevated at D90. Oxidative stress followed a similar pattern but was detected in the whole vascular wall. Sepsis accelerated premature senescence in aorta vascular tissue as shown by the significant up-regulation of p53 and down-stream p21 and p16 senescent markers at D7, values peaking at D90 whereas the absence of significant variation in activated caspase-3 confirmed p53 as a prime inducer of senescence. In addition, p53 was mainly expressed in the endothelium. Sepsis-induced long-term vascular dysfunction was confirmed in aorta and main mesenteric artery, with a major alteration of the endothelial-dependent nitric oxide pathway. CONCLUSIONS Septic shock-induced long-term vascular dysfunction is associated with endothelial and vascular senescence. Our model could prove useful for investigating senotherapies aiming at reducing long-term cardiovascular consequences of septic shock.

Abstract
Genetic causes for ageing are traditionally investigated within a species. Yet, the lifecycles of many organisms intersect. Additional evolutionary and genetic causes of ageing, external to a focal species/organism, may thus be overlooked. Here, we introduce the phrase and concept of age-distorters and its evidence. Age-distorters carry ageing interfering genes, used to manipulate the biological age of other entities upon which the reproduction of age-distorters relies, e.g. age-distorters bias the reproduction/maintenance trade-offs of cells/organisms for their own evolutionary interests. Candidate age-distorters include viruses, parasites and symbionts, operating through specific, genetically encoded interferences resulting from co-evolution and arms race between manipulative non-kins and manipulable species. This interference results in organismal ageing when age-distorters prompt manipulated organisms to favor their reproduction at the expense of their maintenance, turning these hosts into expanded disposable soma. By relying on reproduction/maintenance trade-offs affecting disposable entities, which are left ageing to the reproductive benefit of other physically connected lineages with conflicting evolutionary interests, the concept of age-distorters expands the logic of the Disposable Soma theory beyond species with fixed germen/soma distinctions. Moreover, acknowledging age-distorters as external sources of mutation accumulation and antagonistic pleiotropic genes expands the scope of the mutation accumulation and of the antagonistic pleiotropy theories.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a disease of ageing or inflammaging, and is comorbid with other more severe age-related chronic diseases. With advanced age comes an increase in accumulation of senescent cells that release soluble and insoluble pro-inflammatory factors collectively termed the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In the present report, we examined whether immune cells typical of those at the oral mucosa-microbe interface, are vulnerable to cellular senescence (CS) and the role of dysbiotic oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from young (yDCs) and old (oDCs) mice were co-cultured in vitro with CS inducer doxorubicin or P.gingivalis (Pg), plus or minus senolytic agent rapamycin. CS profiling revealed elevated CS mediators SA-β-Gal, p16 INK4A, p53, and p21Waf1/Clip1 in oDCs, or yDCs in response to doxorubicin or P. gingivalis, reversible with rapamycin. Functional studies indicate impaired maturation function of oDCs, and yDC exposed to P. gingivalis; moreover, OVA-driven proliferation of CD4+ T cells from young OTII transgenic mice was impaired by oDCs or yDCs+Pg. The SASP of DCs, consisting of secreted exosomes and inflammasome-related cytokines was further analyzed. Exosomes of DCs cocultured with P. gingivalis (PgDCexo) were purified, quantitated and characterized. Though typical in terms of size, shape and phenotype, PgDCexo were 2-fold greater in number than control DCs, with several important distinctions. Namely, PgDCexo were enriched in age-related miRNAs, and miRNAs reported to disrupt immune homeostasis through negative regulation of apoptosis and autophagy functions. We further show that PgDCexo were enriched in P. gingivalis fimbrial adhesin protein mfa1 and in inflammasome related cytokines IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6. Functionally PgDCexo were readily endocytosed by recipient yDCs, amplifying functional impairment in maturation and ability to promote Ova-driven proliferation of OTII CD4+ T cells from young mice. In conclusion P. gingivalis induces premature (autocrine) senescence in DCs by direct cellular invasion and greatly amplifies senescence, in paracrine, of bystander DCs by secretion of inflammatory exosomes. The implications of this pathological pathway for periodontal disease in vivo is under investigation in mouse models.

Abstract
Dental pulp as a source of nutrition for the whole tooth is vulnerable to trauma and bacterial invasion, which causes irreversible pulpitis and pulp necrosis. Dental pulp regeneration is a valuable method of restoring the viability of the dental pulp and even the whole tooth. Odontogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) residing in the dental pulp environment have been widely used in dental pulp regeneration because of their immense potential to regenerate pulp-like tissue. Furthermore, the regenerative abilities of odontogenic MSCs are easily affected by the microenvironment in which they reside. The natural environment of the dental pulp has been proven to be capable of regulating odontogenic MSC homeostasis, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, various approaches have been applied to mimic the natural dental pulp environment to optimize the efficacy of pulp regeneration. In addition, odontogenic MSC aggregates/spheroids similar to the natural dental pulp environment have been shown to regenerate well-organized dental pulp both in preclinical and clinical trials. In this review, we summarize recent progress in odontogenic MSC-mediated pulp regeneration and focus on the effect of the microenvironment surrounding odontogenic MSCs in the achievement of dental pulp regeneration.

Severe COVID-19 Lung Infection in Older People and Periodontitis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10020279. [PMID: 33466585 PMCID: PMC7828740 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10020279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 12/31/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Periodontal bacteria dissemination into the lower respiratory tract may create favorable conditions for severe COVID-19 lung infection. Once lung tissues are colonized, cells that survive persistent bacterial infection can undergo permanent damage and accelerated cellular senescence. Consequently, several morphological and functional features of senescent lung cells facilitate SARS-CoV-2 replication. The higher risk for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, and death in older patients has generated the question whether basic aging mechanisms could be implicated in such susceptibility. Mounting evidence indicates that cellular senescence, a manifestation of aging at the cellular level, contributes to the development of age-related lung pathologies and facilitates respiratory infections. Apparently, a relationship between life-threatening COVID-19 lung infection and pre-existing periodontal disease seems improbable. However, periodontal pathogens can be inoculated during endotracheal intubation and/or aspirated into the lower respiratory tract. This review focuses on how the dissemination of periodontal bacteria into the lungs could aggravate age-related senescent cell accumulation and facilitate more efficient SARS-CoV-2 cell attachment and replication. We also consider how periodontal bacteria-induced premature senescence could influence the course of COVID-19 lung infection. Finally, we highlight the role of saliva as a reservoir for both pathogenic bacteria and SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the identification of active severe periodontitis can be an opportune and valid clinical parameter for risk stratification of old patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory factors, and a hallmark feature of senescence is senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The aim of this study is to investigate the protein kinase CK2 (CK2) effects on SASP factors expression in cellular senescence and organism aging. Here CK2 down-regulation induced the expression of SASP factors, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3, through the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling in MCF-7 and HCT116 cells. CK2 down-regulation-mediated SIRT1 inactivation promoted the degradation of inhibitors of NF-κB (IκB) by activating the AKT-IκB kinase (IKK) axis and increased the acetylation of lysine 310 on RelA/p65, an important site for the activity of NF-κB. kin-10 (the ortholog of CK2β) knockdown increased zmp-1, -2, and -3 (the orthologs of MMP) expression in nematodes, but AKT inhibitor triciribine and SIRT activator resveratrol significantly abrogated the increased expression of these genes. Finally, antisense inhibitors of miR-186, miR-216b, miR-337-3p, and miR-760 suppressed CK2α down-regulation, activation of the AKT-IKK-NF-κB axis, RelA/p65 acetylation, and expression of SASP genes in cells treated with lipopolysaccharide. Therefore, this study indicated that CK2 down-regulation induces the expression of SASP factors through NF-κB activation, which is mediated by both activation of the SIRT1-AKT-IKK axis and RelA/p65 acetylation, suggesting that the mixture of the four miRNA inhibitors can be used as anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coinciding with other chronic comorbidities, the prevalence of periodontal disease increases with aging. Mounting evidence has established that senescent cells accumulate at sites of age-related pathologies, where they promote "non-microbial" inflammation. We hypothesized that alveolar bone osteocytes develop senescence characteristics in old age. METHODS Alveolar bone samples were obtained from young (6 months) and old (20 to 22 months) mice to evaluate the expression of senescence biomarkers by immunofluorescent staining. Osteocyte-enriched fractions were used to characterize the age-related senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) gene expression profile. Primary alveolar bone cells were exposed to the SASP via in vitro senescent conditioned media (SCM) administration. A multiplex assay confirmed protein levels of specific cytokines. Interactions with bacterial components were evaluated by stimulating cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RESULTS Increased senescence-associated distension of satellites (SADS) and p16Ink4a mRNA expression were identified in alveolar bone osteocytes with aging. These findings were associated with increased levels of DNA damage, and activated p38 MAPK, both inducers of senescence. Furthermore, interleukin-6 (IL6), IL17, IGFBP4, and MMP13 were significantly upregulated with aging in osteocyte-enriched samples. Interestingly, SCM potentiated the LPS-induced expression of IL1α, IL1β, and IL6. Cell migration and differentiation were also impeded by SCM. These in vitro effects were ameliorated by the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB202190. CONCLUSIONS Accumulation of senescent osteocytes contributes to deterioration of the periodontal environment by exacerbating chronic inflammation and reducing regeneration in old age. Cellular senescence is a cell-intrinsic response to DNA damage, and a host-related mechanism associated with aging that could potentiate inflammation induced by bacterial components.

Abstract
Microglial dysfunction is involved in the pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The regulation of microglial function may be a novel strategy for AD therapy. We previously reported the discovery of AD16, an antineuroinflammatory molecule that could improve learning and memory in the AD model. Here, we studied its properties of microglial modification in the AD mice model. In this study, AD16 reduced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression in the lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-1β-Luc transgenic mice model. Compared with mice receiving placebo, the group treated with AD16 manifested a significant reduction of microglial activation, plaque deposition, and peri-plaques microgliosis, but without alteration of the number of microglia surrounding the plaque. We also found that AD16 decreased senescent microglial cells marked with SA-β-gal staining. Furthermore, altered lysosomal positioning, enhanced Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 1 (LAMP1) expression, and elevated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration were found with AD16 treatment in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. The underlying mechanisms of AD16 might include regulating the microglial activation/senescence and recovery of its physiological function via the improvement of lysosomal function. Our findings provide new insights into the AD therapeutic approach through the regulation of microglial function and a promising lead compound for further study.

Abstract
The recent identification of senescent cells in periodontal tissues has the potential to provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of periodontal disease etiology. DNA damage-driven senescence is perhaps one of the most underappreciated delayed consequences of persistent Gram-negative bacterial infection and inflammation. Although the host immune response rapidly protects against bacterial invasion, oxidative stress generated during inflammation can indirectly deteriorate periodontal tissues through the damage to vital cell macromolecules, including DNA. What happens to those healthy cells that reside in this harmful environment? Emerging evidence indicates that cells that survive irreparable genomic damage undergo cellular senescence, a crucial intermediate mechanism connecting DNA damage and the immune response. In this review, we hypothesize that sustained Gram-negative bacterial challenge, chronic inflammation itself, and the constant renewal of damaged tissues create a permissive environment for the abnormal accumulation of senescent cells. Based on emerging data we propose a model in which the dysfunctional presence of senescent cells may aggravate the initial immune reaction against pathogens. Further understanding of the role of senescent cells in periodontal disease pathogenesis may have clinical implications by providing more sophisticated therapeutic strategies to combat tissue destruction.

Contribution of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide to experimental periodontitis in relation to aging. GeroScience 2020; 43:367-376.

Abstract
Aging is associated with increased prevalence and severity of pathogenic outcomes of periodontal disease, including soft tissue degeneration and bone loss around the teeth. Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the key periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) plays an important role in the promotion of inflammation and osteoclastogenesis via toll-like receptor (TLR)4 signaling, its pathophysiological role in age-associated periodontitis remains unclear. This study investigated the possible effects of Pg-LPS on RANKL-primed osteoclastogenesis and ligature-induced periodontitis in relation to aging using young (2 months old) and aged (24 months old) mice. To the best of our knowledge, our results indicated that expression of TLR4 was significantly diminished on the surface of osteoclast precursors isolated from aged mice compared with that of young mice. Furthermore, our data demonstrated that the TLR4 antagonist (TAK242) dramatically decreased the numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive (TRAP+) osteoclasts differentiated from RANKL-primed young osteoclast precursors (OCPs) compared with those isolated from aged mice in response to Pg-LPS. In addition, using a ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model, we demonstrated that Pg-LPS elevated (1) secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) markers, including the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, as well as osteoclastogenic RANKL, and (2) the number of OCPs and TRAP+ osteoclasts in the periodontal lesion induced in young mice. In contrast, Pg-LPS had little, or no, effect on the promotion of periodontitis inflammation induced in aged mice. Altogether, these results indicated that periodontal disease in older mice occurs in a manner independent of canonical signaling elicited by the Pg-LPS/TLR4 axis.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease involving multiple organs and systems. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from SLE patients have demonstrated defects such as impaired growth, senescence phenotype and immunomodulatory functions. Some studies have suggested the close connection between inflammation microenvironment and cellular senescence. In the current study, we detected cytokines levels in bone marrow supernatant by the quantitative proteomics analysis, and found the expression of HMGB1 was remarkably increased in bone marrow from SLE patients. Senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, F-actin staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the senescence of cells. After stimulation of HMGB1 in normal MSCs, the ratio of SA-β-gal positive in BM-MSCs was increased, the organization of cytoskeleton was disordered, and TLR4-NF-κB signaling was activated. Finally, Ethyl pyruvate (EP) (40 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, three times a week), a high security HMGB1 inhibitor, was injected intraperitoneally to treat MRL/lpr mice for 8 weeks. We demonstrated that EP alleviated the clinical aspects of lupus nephritis and prolonged survival of MRL/lpr mice. In the meantime, EP reversed the senescent phenotype of BM-MSCs from MRL/lpr mice. HMGB1 could be a promising target in SLE patients, and might be one of the reasons of recurrence after MSCs transplantation.

Abstract
Despite advances in bone regenerative medicine, the relationship between stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) in cells and bone regeneration remains largely unknown. Herein, we demonstrated that the implantation of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sustained-release gelatin sponge (LS-G) increases the number of SIPS cells and that the elimination of these cells promotes bone formation in critical-sized bone defects in the rat calvaria. Histological (hematoxylin–eosin and SA-β-gal) and immunohistological (p16 and p21 for analyzing cellular senescence and 4-HNE for oxidation) staining was used to identify SIPS cells and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Bone formation in defects were analyzed using microcomputed tomography, one and four weeks after surgery. Parallel to LS-G implantation, local epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) administration, and systemic senolytic (dasatinib and quercetin: D+Q) administration were used to eliminate SIPS cells. After LS-G implantation, SA-β-gal-, p16-, and p21-positive cells (SIPS cells) accumulated in the defects. However, treatment with LS-G+EGCG and LS-G+D+Q resulted in lower numbers of SIPS cells than that with LS-G in the defects, resulting in an augmentation of newly formed bone. We demonstrated that SIPS cells induced by sustained stimulation by LPS may play a deleterious role in bone formation. Controlling these cell numbers is a promising strategy to increase bone regeneration.

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening systemic hyperinflammatory disorder. We found recently that repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment induces HLH-like features in senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP1/TA-1) but not in senescence-resistant control mice (SAMR1). In this study, we analyzed the dynamics of hematopoiesis in this mouse model of HLH. When treated repeatedly with LPS, the numbers of myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-GM) and B-lymphoid progenitor cells (CFU-preB) in the bone marrow (BM) rapidly decreased after each treatment in both strains. The number of CFU-GM in SAMP1/TA-1 and SAMR1, and of CFU-preB in SAMR1, returned to pretreatment levels by 7 days after each treatment. However, the recovery in the number of CFU-preB in SAMP1/TA-1 was limited. In both strains, the BM expression of genes encoding positive regulators of myelopoiesis (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin (IL)-6), and negative regulators of B lymphopoiesis (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) was increased. The expression of genes encoding positive regulators of B lymphopoiesis (stromal-cell derived factor (SDF)-1, IL-7, and stem cell factor (SCF)) was persistently decreased in SAMP1/TA-1 but not in SAMR1. Expression of the gene encoding p16INK4a and the proportion of β-galactosidase-positive cells were increased in cultured stromal cells obtained from LPS-treated SAMP1/TA-1 but not in those from LPS-treated SAMR1. LPS treatment induced qualitative changes in stromal cells, which comprise the microenvironment supporting appropriate hematopoiesis, in SAMP1/TA-1; these stromal cell changes are inferred to disrupt the dynamics of hematopoiesis. Thus, hematopoietic tissue is one of the organs that suffer life-threatening damage in HLH.

LPS-induced premature osteocyte senescence: Implications in inflammatory alveolar bone loss and periodontal disease pathogenesis. Bone 2020; 132:115220. [PMID: 31904537 PMCID: PMC6990876 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.115220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Cellular senescence is associated with inflammation and extracellular matrix tissue remodeling through the secretion of proteins termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Although osteocyte senescence in older individuals in the skeleton is well recognized, whether young alveolar osteocytes can also become senescent is unknown. This is potentially important in the context of periodontal disease, which is an inflammatory condition caused by a gradual change from symbiotic to pathogenic oral microflora that can lead to tooth loss. Our aim was to identify whether senescent osteocytes accumulate in young alveolar bone and whether bacterial-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can influence cellular senescence in alveolar bone. An osteocyte-enriched cell population isolated from alveolar bone expressed increased levels of the known senescence marker p16Ink4a, as well as select SASP markers known to be implicated alveolar bone resorption (Icam1, Il6, Il17, Mmp13 and Tnfα), compared to ramus control cells. Increased senescence of alveolar bone osteocytes was also observed in vivo using the senescence-associated distension of satellites (SADS) assay and increased γH2AX, a marker of DNA damage associated with senescent cells. To approximate a bacterial infection in vitro, alveolar osteocytes were treated with LPS. We found increased expression of various senescence and SASP markers, increased γH2AX staining, increased SA-β-Gal activity and the redistribution of F-actin leading to a larger and flattened cell morphology, all hallmarks of cellular senescence. In conclusion, our data suggests a model whereby bacterial-derived LPS stimulates premature alveolar osteocyte senescence, which in combination with the resultant SASP, could potentially contribute to the onset of alveolar bone loss.

Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2019; 117:105628. [PMID: 31639458 DOI: 10.1016/j.biocel.2019.105628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Previously we have demonstrated that sclerostin inhibits stress-induced odontogenic differentiation of odontoblasts and accelerates senescence of dental pulp cells (DPCs) Odontoblasts and DPCs are main functioning cells for inflammation resistance and tissue regeneration in dentine-pulp complex. Sclerostin is relevant for systemic inflammation and chronic periodontitis processes, but its effects on dental pulp inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we found that sclerostin expression of odontoblasts was elevated in lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory environment, and exogenous sclerostin increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in inflamed odontoblasts. Furthermore, sclerostin activated the NF-κB signaling pathway in inflamed odontoblasts and the NF-κB inhibitor reversed the exaggerative effects of sclerostin on the pro-inflammatory cytokines production. Additionally, sclerostin promoted adhesion and migration of inflamed DPCs, while inhibiting odontoblastic differentiation of inflamed DPCs. Sclerostin also might enhance pulpal angiogenesis. Taken together, it can therefore be inferred that sclerostin is upregulated in inflamed odontoblasts under pulpal inflammatory condition to enhance inflammatory responses in dentine-pulp complex and impair reparative dentinogenesis. This indicates that sclerostin inhibition might be a therapeutic target for anti-inflammation and pro-regeneration during dental pulp inflammation.

Metformin prevents against oxidative stress-induced senescence in human periodontal ligament cells. Biogerontology 2019; 21:13-27. [PMID: 31559522 DOI: 10.1007/s10522-019-09838-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease involving periodontal tissues. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) play an important role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue. However, senescent PDLCs have an impeded regenerative potential. Metformin has been reported to prevent senescence at both the cellular and individual levels. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of metformin on cellular senescence in human PDLCs (hPDLCs) under oxidative stress. hPDLCs were pretreated with metformin, followed by H2O2 exposure. The cell viability, oxidative damage, cellular senescence and osteogenic potential were detected. To inhibit autophagy, hPDLCs were treated with 3-methyladenine before metformin treatment. The present study revealed that H2O2 exposure inhibits proliferation, increased lysosomal β-galactosidase activity, augments reactive oxidative species (ROS) accumulation, elevates the oxidative damage, stimulates the expression of senescence-related genes and impedes the activity of the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Metformin pretreatment could partly reverse the detrimental influences of H2O2 on hPDLCs. Moreover, metformin could stimulate autophagy, whereas the inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyladenine reversed the anti-senescence effects of metformin on hPDLCs under oxidative stress. The present study manifested that metformin could alleviate oxidative stress-induced senescence via stimulating autophagy and could partially recover the osteogenic potential of hPDLCs, possibly providing a reference for the discovery of periodontal treatment from the perspective of antisenescence.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4) in the inflammatory response induced by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). METHODOLOGY Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used for stimulating inflammation in dental pulp tissue in vivo and hDPCs in vitro. Expression levels of GATA4 and γ-H2A.X (a marker for DSBs) were detected at different stages of pulpitis in a rat model and human pulp tissues by immunohistochemistry. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were performed to assess expression of GATA4 and γ-H2A.X and the activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in hDPCs stimulated by LPS. The comet assay was used for detecting the extent of DSBs in hDPCs. Immunocytochemistry and Western blot were utilized to evaluate expression of γ-H2A.X and GATA4 and activation of NF-κB in hDPCs pre-treated with inhibitors of DNA damage response or transfected with GATA4 small interfering RNA before the treatment of LPS. Data were analysed statistically using one-way anova or Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS The expression of GATA4 and activation of DNA damage response and NF-κB in inflamed pulp tissue and LPS-treated hDPCs were identified. Significantly decreased expression of GATA4 and significantly decreased inflammatory processes in hDPCs were demonstrated via suppression of DNA damage response (P < 0.05). In GATA4-knockdown cells, the expression of γ-H2A.X did not change, but nuclear translocation of p65 was significantly suppressed (P < 0.05) upon induction by LPS. CONCLUSIONS Lipopolysaccharide-induced DSBs activated the NF-κB signalling pathway in hDPCs, and GATA4 acts as a positive moderator of the progress. The involvement of GATA4 in this pathology may serve as a therapeutic target in pulpitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental follicle cells (DFCs) are dental stem cells and interesting options for regenerative therapies in dentistry. However, DFCs acquire replicative senescence in long-term cultures, but little is known about molecular processes. In previous studies, we observed that DFC cell lines become senescent at different rates. We hypothesized that short telomere length and increased DNA damage with genomic instability correlate with the accelerated induction of cellular senescence. RESULTS For this study we compared DFC cell lines that became senescent at different rates (DFC_F: strong senescent phenotype; DFC_S: weak senescent phenotype). The telomeres of DFC_F were shorter than those of the telomeres of DFC_S prior senescence. Interestingly, telomere lengths of both cell lines were nearly unchanged after induction of senescence. Gene expression analyses with genes associated with DNA damage before and after the induction of cellular senescence revealed that almost all genes in DFCs_F were down-regulated while the gene expression in DFC_S was almost constitutive. Moreover, number of aneuploid DFC_F were significantly higher after induction of cellular senescence. CONCLUSION Our results supported our initial hypothesis that telomere length and genomic instability correlate with the accelerated induction of cellular senescence in DFC_F.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This short review summarizes our current knowledge about dental stem cell aging and about possible targets for the regulation of cellular senescence. DESIGN A literature search was performed using a combination of keywords, e.g., stem cells, replicative senescence, differentiation potential, dental pulp, dental follicle and periodontal ligament. RESULTS Previous studies have shown that cellular senescence occurs while the proliferation of dental stem cells. Moreover, the differentiation potential was significantly decreased in senescent stem cells and senescent cells secrete also factors that are harmful to the adjacent tissue cells. Moreover, many targets for the regulation of cellular senescence are considered; for example pathways related to the nutrient sensing such as the 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. CONCLUSIONS The regulation of cellular senescence will play a crucial role in the clinical use of stem cells. However, there is no cell culture protocol available that prevents dental stem cell senescence. Therefore, more knowledge about molecular processes in stem cells is needed before and after the induction of senescence.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are broadly used in cell‐based regenerative medicine because of their self‐renewal and multilineage potencies in vitro and in vivo. To ensure sufficient amounts of MSCs for therapeutic purposes, cells are generally cultured in vitro for long‐term expansion or specific terminal differentiation until cell transplantation. Although physiologically up‐regulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is essential for maintenance of stem cell activities, abnormally high levels of ROS can harm MSCs both in vitro and in vivo. Overall, additional elucidation of the mechanisms by which physiological and pathological ROS are generated is necessary to better direct MSC fates and improve their therapeutic effects by controlling external ROS levels. In this review, we focus on the currently revealed ROS generation mechanisms and the regulatory routes for controlling their rates of proliferation, survival, senescence, apoptosis, and differentiation. A promising strategy in future regenerative medicine involves regulating ROS generation via various means to augment the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs, thus improving the prognosis of patients with terminal diseases.

Abstract
AIM The study aimed to investigate the effects of DNA repair proteins on cell apoptosis in human DPSCs during inflammation. METHODS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate inflammation in dental pulp in vivo and in vitro. We identified the activation of DSB response and DNA repair proteins in inflamed pulp tissue and in LPS-treated human DPSCs. Then we transfected the cells with Ku70 (a key protein involved in NHEJ) siRNA and detected the expression changes of γ-H2A.X, DNA repair proteins and cell apoptosis. RESULTS Immunohistochemical staining showed that at 4 and 6 days of pulpitis the expression of Ku70 and γ-H2A.X significantly increased. The levels of γ-H2A.X, Ku70, Xrcc4, and Rad51 increased considerably in the LPS-treated DPSCs. Furthermore, decreased expression of Ku70 could increase the number of γ-H2A.X foci, apoptotic cells and reduce cell viability in DPSCs. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that NHEJ pathway was the main mechanism involved in DNA damage response induced by repeated LPS stimulation in DPSCs. Meanwhile, the findings suggested that Ku70 serves importantly in the apoptosis of DPSCs in the inflammatory environment.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory, odontogenic and pro-angiogenic effects of integrating simvastatin and nanofibrous poly(l-lactic acid) (NF-PLLA) scaffolds on dental pulp cells (DPCs). Highly porous NF-PLLA scaffolds that mimic the nanofibrous architecture of extracellular matrix were first fabricated, then seeded with human DPCs and cultured with 0.1 μM simvastatin and/or 10 μg/mL pro-inflammatory stimulator lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The gene expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-1β and MMP-9 mRNA) and odontoblastic markers (ALP activity, calcium content, DSPP, DMP-1 and BMP-2 mRNA) were quantified after long-term culture in vitro. In addition, we evaluated the scaffold's pro-angiogenic potential after 24 h of in vitro co-culture with endothelial cells. Finally, we assessed the combined effects of simvastatin and NF-PLLA scaffolds in vivo using a subcutaneous implantation mouse model. The in vitro studies demonstrated that, compared with the DPC/NF-PLLA scaffold constructs cultured only with pro-inflammatory stimulator LPS, adding simvastatin significantly repress the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. Treating LPS+ DPC/NF-PLLA constructs with simvastatin also reverted the negative effects of LPS on expression of odontoblastic markers in vitro and in vivo. Western blot analysis demonstrated that these effects were related to a reduction in NFkBp65 phosphorylation and up-regulation of PPARγ expression, as well as to increased phosphorylation of pERK1/2 and pSmad1, mediated by simvastatin on LPS-stimulated DPCs. The DPC/NF-PLLA constructs treated with LPS/simvastatin also led to an increase in vessel-like structures, correlated with increased VEGF expression in both DPSCs and endothelial cells. Therefore, the combination of low dosage simvastatin and NF-PLLA scaffolds appears to be a promising strategy for dentin regeneration with inflamed dental pulp tissue, by minimizing the inflammatory reaction and increasing the regenerative potential of resident stem cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The regeneration potential of stem cells is dependent on their microenvironment. In this study, we investigated the effect of the microenvironment of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), including 3D structure of a macroporous and nanofibrous scaffold, the inflammatory stimulus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a biological molecule simvastatin, on their regenerative potential of mineralized dentin tissue. The results demonstrated that LPS upregulated inflammatory mediators and suppressed the odontogenic potential of DPSCs. Known as a lipid-lowing agent, simvastatin was excitingly found to repress the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, up-regulate odontoblastic markers, and exert a pro-angiogenic effect on endothelial cells, resulting in enhanced vascularization and mineralized dentin tissue regeneration in a biomimetic 3D tissue engineering scaffold. This novel finding is significant for the fields of stem cells, inflammation and dental tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), one type of mesenchymal stem cells, are considered to be a type of tool cells for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Our previous studies found that the stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) might introduce senescence of DPSCs, and this senescence would have a positive correlation with the concentration of LPS. The β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining was used to evaluate the senescence of DPSCs and immunofluorescence to show the morphology of DPSCs. Our findings suggested that the activity of SA-β-gal has increased after repeated stimulation with LPS and the morphology of DPSCs has changed with the stimulation with LPS. We also found that LPS bound to the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor (MyD) 88 signaling pathway. Protein and mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 were enhanced in DPSCs with LPS stimulation, resulting in the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling, which exhibited the expression of p65 improved in the nucleus while the decreasing of IκB-α. Simultaneously, the expression of p53 and p21, the downstream proteins of the NF-κB signaling, has increased. In summary, DPSCs tend to undergo senescence after repeated stimulation in an inflammatory microenvironment. Ultimately, these findings may lead to a new direction for cell-based therapy in oral diseases and other regenerative medicines.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used as therapeutic tool for the treatment of immune diseases. The inflammatory environment also influences the characteristics of MSCs after transplantation. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on the characteristics of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs). UCMSCs were exposed to pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro for 3 and 7 days, and the biological properties were analyzed. The results showed that the proliferation ability was suppressed by interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The adipogenic capacity was inhibited in all conditioned medium, while the chondrogenic and osteogenic capacity was enhanced by TNF-α and IL-1β in vitro. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was increased by IL-1β on the third day, and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) was inhibited appreciably by TNF-α on the seventh day. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) was increased by TNF-α and IL-1β, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was inhibited by all inflammatory cytokines. IFN-γ secretion level from human peripheral mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) was lowered by UCMSCs which had been stimulated by TNF-α or IL-1β for 3 days. Moreover, IFN-γ and TNF-α secretion level was only inhibited by UCMSCs which had been by stimulated IFN-γ for 3 days but not 7 days. Our data demonstrated that different inflammatory cytokines and the duration of treatment had different effects on the properties of UCMSCs, which might be instructive for clinical pretreatment in cellular therapeutics.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a restricting factor for regenerative therapies with somatic stem cells. We showed previously that the onset of cellular senescence inhibits the osteogenic differentiation in stem cells of the dental follicle (DFCs), although the mechanism remains elusive. Two different pathways are involved in the induction of the cellular senescence, which are driven either by the cell cycle protein P21 or by the cell cycle protein P16. In this study, we investigated the expression of cell cycle proteins in DFCs after the induction of cellular senescence. The induction of cellular senescence was proved by an increased expression of β-galactosidase and an increased population doubling time after a prolonged cell culture. Cellular senescence regulated the expression of cell cycle proteins. The expression of cell cycle protein P16 was up-regulated, which correlates with the induction of cellular senescence markers in DFCs. However, the expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK)2 and 4 and the expression of the cell cycle protein P21 were successively decreased in DFCs. In conclusion, our data suggest that a P16-dependent pathway drives the induction of cellular senescence in DFCs.
