Cells 2022; 11:3398. [PMID: 36359794 PMCID: PMC9657428 DOI: 10.3390/cells11213398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Regenerative endodontic treatment based on tissue engineering has recently gained interest in contemporary restorative dentistry. However, low survival rates and poor potential differentiation of stem cells could undermine the success rate of pulp regenerative therapy. Human gingival fibroblast-conditioned medium (hGF-CM) has been considered a potential therapy for tissue regeneration due to its stability in maintaining multiple factors essential for tissue regeneration compared to live cell transplantation. This study aimed to investigate the potency of hGF-CM on stem cells from human dental pulp (DPSC) in pulp regeneration. A series of experiments confirmed that hGF-CM contributes to a significant increase in proliferation, migration capability, and cell viability of DPSC after H2O2 exposure. Moreover, it has been proved to facilitate the odontogenic differentiation of DPSC via qRT-PCR, ALP (alkaline phosphatase), and ARS (Alizarin Red S) staining. It has been discovered that such highly upregulated odontogenesis is related to certain types of ECM proteins (collagen and laminin) from hGF-CM via proteomics. In addition, it is found that the ERK pathway is a key mechanism via inhibition assay based on RNA-seq result. These findings demonstrate that hGF-CM could be beneficial biomolecules for pulp regeneration.

[PMID: 33066836 DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2020.151614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Neonatal calvarial bone has been widely used for investigating the biological behaviour of intramembranous bones. This work evaluated the bone formation of neonatal calvarial bone by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometry. Moreover, the viability of neonatal calvarial bone and the effect of micro-CT radiation exposure on neonatal calvarial bone viability were investigated. The calvarial bones of 4-day-old CD-1 mice were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) or osteogenic medium (OM) for 23 days. Micro-CT scanning and histological analysis were performed on days 2, 9, 16 and 23. An "OM-control" group was scanned only on days 2 and 23 to evaluate the effect of a single micro-CT radiation dose on calvarial bones. Histomorphometric measurements revealed that the number of osteoblasts per unit bone surface area (N. Ob/BS, /mm2) (days 9, 16 and 23) and the number of osteoclasts per unit bone surface area (N. Oc/BS, /mm2) (days 9 and 16) were higher and lower, respectively, in the OM group than in the DMEM group. Moreover, the calvarial bone survived for at least 16 days in vitro, as indicated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive staining. Micro-CT assessment revealed that the bone surface (BS), bone volume (BV), bone surface density (BS/TV(Tissue volume)) and percent bone volume (BV/TV) were greater in the OM group than in the DMEM group except at baseline on day 2. All bone parameters of calvariae cultured in OM and OM-control conditions were not significantly different on days 2 and 23. Thus, the radiation dose from micro-CT in our study design had no perceptible effect on the formation of mouse calvarial bone in vitro.

Abstract
The low-shrink Silorane-based composite could bond effectively to bone and showed the potential be used as a bone cement. Bone organ culture maintains the anatomical order, natural cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix relationship. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responses of bone cells to a Silorane-based composite which was compared with a representative polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. The critical size defects were created through the parietal bones from one litter of mice. The paired bones were divided into two groups: Silorane-based composite group and PMMA group. The prepared two groups of disks were put into the defects. The cultures were grown in vitro for 38 days and analyzed with microcomputed-tomography, dissecting-microscope, phase- contrast-microscope, scanning-electron-microscopy, and energy- dispersive-X-ray. At the 10th day, the Silorane disk was almost fully covered by a sheet of cells but the cells hardly attached to the disk surface. The edge of the PMMA disk was covered by a sheet of cells and the migrated individual cells attached to the whole surface of the disk. At the 38th day, some cells attached to the exposed disk area of the Silorane disk while the formed tissues covered the whole surface of the PMMA disk. The collagen fibers, globular deposits and bone formation were visible in both groups. The Silorane-based composite showed promise as a potential bone cement when compared with PMMA which is used in clinical orthopedics. However, the cell attachment to PMMA was evidently better than to Silorane-based composite.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fibroblasts appear to modulate osteoclastogenesis, but their precise role in this process remains unclear. In this work, paracrine-mediated osteoclastogenic potential of different human fibroblasts was assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fibroblast-conditioned media (CM) from foetal skin (CM1), adult skin (CM2) and adult gingiva (CM3) were used to promote osteoclastogenesis of osteoclast precursor cells. Cultures supplemented with macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were used as controls. RESULTS All fibroblast cultures expressed FSP-1, M-CSF and RANKL and produced osteoprotegerin (OPG); gingival fibroblasts presented lowest expression of osteoclastogenic genes and higher production of OPG. All fibroblast CM were able to induce osteoclastogenesis. CM1 showed behaviour similar to positive controls, and slightly higher osteoclastogenic potential than CM, from adult ones. Gingival fibroblasts revealed lowest osteoclastogenic ability. Presence of anti-MCSF or anti-RANKL partially inhibited osteoclastogenesis promoted by CM, although the former antibody revealed higher inhibitory response. Differences among the osteoclastogenic effect of CM were noted, mainly in expression of genes involved in differentiation and activation of osteoclast precursor cells, c-myc and c-src, and less regarding functional related parameters. CONCLUSIONS Fibroblasts are able to induce osteoclastogenesis by paracrine mechanisms, and age and anatomical location affect this ability. Other factors produced by fibroblasts, in addition to M-CSF and RANKL, appear to contribute to observed osteoclastogenic potential.

Abstract
Although M-CSF and RANKL are sufficient to promote in vitro osteoclastogenesis, in vivo this is a complex process which requires the action of many signalling molecules and cellular crosstalks. In this work, isolated or combined conditioned media, obtained from human adult skin fibroblast and bone marrow cells, were tested for their osteoclastogenic potential, through an indirect co-culture system, in the absence of recombinant M-CSF and RANKL. Osteoclastogenesis was assessed on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and CD14+ cell cultures by quantification of total protein content, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, presence of multinucleated cells positive for TRAP, RT-PCR of TRAP, CATK, CA2, c-myc and c-src and presence of multinucleated cells displaying actin rings, vitronectin and calcitonin receptors. Cultures supplemented with M-CSF and RANKL were used as positive controls. It was observed that the conditioned medium from dexamethasone osteogenic-induced bone marrow cell cultures displayed the highest osteoclastogenic potential, with similar behaviour to that observed in the presence of both M-CSF and RANKL. Comparatively, fibroblastic conditioned medium elicited a slightly lower osteoclastogenic response. Combination of both conditioned media resulted in a significant increase of TRAP activity. On the other hand, conditioned medium from non-osteogenic-induced bone marrow cell cultures presented the lowest osteoclastogenic potential. These results were observed for both PBMC and CD14+ cell cultures, suggesting that fibroblast and osteoblast cells are able to modulate osteoclastogenesis in the absence of physical cell-cell interactions. In addition, osteoclastogenic potential of bone marrow cells increases with their osteoblastic differentiation.

Abstract
Bone destruction is known to be an important cause of complications in chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media. A strategy that blocks localized bone resorption may prevent the progression of the disease. The bisphosphonate drug pamidronate is known to inhibit bone resorption and has been used in the treatment of Paget's disease and osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pamidronate on the inhibition of bone resorption in cholesteatoma using a neonatal rat calvarial culture system. Radioactive calcium was subcutaneously injected into pregnant rats. Neonatal calvariae were harvested after i.p. injection of pamidronate disodium to neonatal rats and culture supernatants of cholesteatoma keratinocytes were then added to the calvarial culture media. Radioactive calcium release was measured using a beta-ray scintillation counter. The percentage of calcium release was significantly higher in cholesteatoma culture supernatant than in Dulbecco's modification of Eagle's medium. The percentage calcium release in cholesteatoma culture supernatant was significantly lower with the high dose of pamidronate than with the low dose. These results suggest that pamidronate can inhibit the bone resorption caused by cholesteatoma. This study suggests a possible application for pamidronate in the prevention of cholesteatomatous bone destruction.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells are thought to be important for establishing and maintaining a stable interface between bone and teeth. In addition, PDL cells are thought to play critical roles in both the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and the regeneration of periodontal ligament tissues. The purpose of this study was to develop a continuous or stable human PDL cell line as an in vitro model for the investigation of cellular mechanisms involved in periodontal regeneration and destruction. Human PDL cells, derived from a primary cell culture, were transfected with simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen-containing virus with a neomycin resistance gene. The transformed cells expressed the SV40 T antigen mRNA as assayed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This cell line was also characterized for morphological changes and growth characteristics compared to primary PDL cell cultures. The transformed cells were shown to form a multilayer pattern and distinct colonies on tissue culture surfaces. However, no colony formation was found in soft agar. The transformed PDL cell line was found to have a greater rate of proliferation in 10% fetal bovine serum than primary culture, and continued to proliferate in low serum concentrations capable of producing quiescence in primary cells. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) was shown to produce a 7-fold elevation in collagenase (MMP-1) mRNA levels, consistent with primary PDL cells. In addition, IL-1 beta was shown to produce a decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The transformed cell line has been maintained for over 30 generations of cell culture. In conclusion, a stable human PDL cell line has been established to serve as a model for future in vitro investigations into periodontal pathogenic mechanisms and to evaluate therapies directed at the regeneration of periodontal ligament.

Abstract
Selective recruitment of periodontal ligament cells to a previously exposed root surface is believed to enhance periodontal regeneration. It has been hypothesized that competition from gingival fibroblasts may reduce the potential of periodontal regeneration. We compared the migratory responses of PDL cells and gingival fibroblasts to a variety of biologicals. Parallel experiments designed to examine the directed migration responses of both periodontal ligament cells (PDL cells) and gingival fibroblasts (GF) isolated from the same donors were conducted using Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Insulin Like Growth Factor-I, -II (IGF-I, -II), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta), and the chemotactic factor derived from the conditioned culture media of PDL cells (termed PDL-CTX) as attractants. Both PDL cells and GF exhibited dose-dependent migratory responses when challenged with PDGF, IGF-I, IGF-II, EGF, and TGF-beta. However, when these cells were challenged with PDL-CTX, only PDL cells migrated in a specific dose-dependent manner, while GF were refractive to PDL-CTX stimulation. Additionally, concentrated conditioned culture media from cultures of gingival fibroblasts did not stimulate PDL cell migratory responses. In other experiments, antibody directed against PDGF, FGF, TGF-beta, IGF-I, IGF-II, NGF, and EGF did not inhibit the PDL-CTX-elicited response in PDL cells. Previous studies have suggested that success of periodontal therapy depends on the specific attachment, migration, and proliferation of selected periodontal ligament cells. The data presented in this manuscript suggest that both PDL cells and gingival fibroblasts respond to a multitude of growth factors. PDL-CTX was found to be PDL-cell-specific for directed migration. Thus, we conclude that any biological therapeutic regime for periodontal regeneration should include PDL-cell-specific agents.
