Qiao T, Yi Y, Kang Z, Huang Z, Wan J, Wang Y, Qian C. Recombinant human amelogenin promotes wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 734:150462. [PMID: 39083979 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.150462] [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: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
The first barrier of the human body is the skin, and more serious harm may occur when skin wound healing is delayed. One of the components of enamel matrix proteins is amelogenin, which inhibits inflammation and promotes periodontal tissue regeneration. However, its role in skin wound healing and angiogenesis is inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of recombinant human amelogenin (rhAM) on mouse skin wounds and to determine its effect on angiogenesis and its underlying mechanism. rhAM was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using the optimized acetic acid method. A skin injury mouse model was established to explore the effects of rhAM on skin wound healing. After treatment with rhAM for 7 days, the wound healing rate was calculated, and the therapeutic effect of rhAM on skin wounds was assessed using hematoxylin & eosin (HE), Masson, and CD31 immunofluorescence staining. The expression of growth and inflammatory factors in wound tissues were detected using Western Blot. In addition, the rhAM effects on the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) were studied in vitro using the Cell Counting Kit-8, cell scratch, cytoskeleton staining, and qPCR. The rhAM effect on HUVEC angiogenesis and its potential mechanism was studied using tube formation and Western Blot. The results showed that the purity of the obtained rhAM was more than 90 % using the optimized acetic acid method, and high-dose rhAM treatment could improve wound healing rate in mice. Additionally, more blood vessels and collagen were produced in the skin wound, and the expression of angiopoietin-related protein 2 (ANGPTL2) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was upregulated; however, that of interleukin-6 was down-regulated. We also found that rhAM promoted the proliferation and migration of HUVEC and NIH 3T3, the mRNA levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor, TGF-β1 and ANGPTL2 in HUVEC cells were upregulated, and expression of VEGF and phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase were activated. Therefore, rhAM could promote skin wound healing by upregulating angiogenesis and inhibiting inflammation.

[PMID: 37640635 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.08.176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Amelogenins are clinically used in periodontal regeneration as main components of root surface modifying agents, even without specifically preventing the premature colonization of the healing tissue defect by means of a physical barrier membrane. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of human amelogenin on the proliferation, migration, and morphology of Immortalized Human Oral Keratinocytes (iHOKs). METHODS Immortalized Human Oral Keratinocytes were expanded in Keratinocyte Growth Medium-2 (KGM-2). Full-length recombinant amelogenin protein was diluted in KGM-2 in five concentrations (10 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml, 1.000 ng/ml, 5.000 ng/ml and 10.000 ng/ml). iHOKs were cultured in medium supplemented with the amelogenin dilutions. Samples without amelogenin served as control. Cell metabolism and cell proliferation together with cell migration were evaluated at day 7, 14, 21. RESULTS At day 7, iHOKs treated with 10,000 ng/ml showed a significant decrease in keratinocytes´ proliferation. The metabolic activity at this timepoint was significantly lower for concentrations ≥ 1000 ng/ml. At days 14 and 21, both the addition of 5000 ng/ml and even more 10,000 ng/ml amelogenin reduced significantly the proliferation of keratinocytes. The effects on the metabolic activity for these timepoints were visible already with 100 ng/ml. Treatment of iHOKs with amelogenin of ≥ 1000 ng/ml led to inhibitory effects on cell migration already after 24 h. CONCLUSIONS The full-length recombinant amelogenin has a significant biological impact on iHOKs. The increasing dose dependent inhibitory effects of amelogenin shown on iHOKs might explain the disruption of the apical migration of the junctional epithelium during regenerative healing. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Amelogenin, presents time- and dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the growth of keratinocytes, which might explain the biological rationale behind its application in periodontal regeneration.

Treatment of intrabony periodontal defects in controlled diabetic patients with an enamel matrix derivative: a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 26:2479-2489. [PMID: 34643808 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-04215-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This split-mouth randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) associated with a simplified papilla preservation flap (SPPF) compared to SPPF alone in the surgical treatment of intrabony defects (ID) in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirteen patients with controlled T2DM presenting with ID in at least two quadrants were included. In each patient, the test site (TS) was treated with SPPF plus EMD, whereas the control site (CS) was treated only with SPPF. Prior to surgery and at 6 months after intervention, the following parameters were evaluated: clinical attachment level (CAL), probing pocket depth (PPD), and gingival recession (GR). RESULTS The TS and CS demonstrated a mean CAL gain of 3.31 ± 0.96 mm and 1.61 ± 1.12 mm, and a PPD reduction from 8.15 ± 0.98 to 3.00 ± 0.57 mm and 7.53 ± 0.96 to 4.69 ± 0.63 mm after 6 months, respectively. In both sites, the mean CAL gain and PPD reduction improved significantly after 6 months compared to baseline; however, the improvement was higher in the TS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both surgical procedures presented with clinical improvements in controlled T2DM patients. However, the additional use of EMD showed enhanced clinical results after 6 months with regard to CAL gain and PPD reduction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study showed a better PPD reduction and CAL gain when an EMD was applied in addition to SPPF. Therefore, EMD may be used to enhance clinical outcomes in periodontal ID of controlled T2DM patients.

Abstract
Amelogenins are enamel matrix proteins currently used to treat bone defects in periodontal surgery. Recent studies have highlighted the relevance of amelogenin-derived peptides, named LRAP, TRAP, SP, and C11, in bone tissue engineering. Interestingly, these peptides seem to maintain or even improve the biological activity of the full-length protein, which has received attention in the field of bone regeneration. In this article, the authors combined a systematic and a narrative review. The former is focused on the existing scientific evidence on LRAP, TRAP, SP, and C11's ability to induce the production of mineralized extracellular matrix, while the latter is concentrated on the structure and function of amelogenin and amelogenin-derived peptides. Overall, the collected data suggest that LRAP and SP are able to induce stromal stem cell differentiation towards osteoblastic phenotypes; specifically, SP seems to be more reliable in bone regenerative approaches due to its osteoinduction and the absence of immunogenicity. However, even if some evidence is convincing, the limited number of studies and the scarcity of in vivo studies force us to wait for further investigations before drawing a solid final statement on the real potential of amelogenin-derived peptides in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Recombinant amelogenin protein (RAP) was reported to induce soft-tissue regeneration in canine infected endodontically treated permanent teeth with open apices. To characterize identities of the cells found in the RAP regenerated tissues compared to authentic pulp by identifying: 1) stem cells by their expression of Sox2; 2) nerve fibers by distribution of the axonal marker peripherin; 3) axons by their expression of calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP); 4) the presence of astrocytes expressing glial fibrillary acidic proteins (GFAP). Methods A total of 240 open-apex root canals in dogs were used. After establishment of oral contamination to the pulp, the canals were cleaned, irrigated, and 120 canals filled with RAP, and the other 120 with calcium hydroxide. Results After 1, 3, and 6 months, teeth were recovered for immune-detection of protein markers associated with native pulp tissues. Regenerated pulp and apical papilla of RAP group revealed an abundance of stem cells showing intense immunoreactivity to Sox2 antibody, immunoreactivity of peripherin mainly in the A-fibers of the odontoblast layer and immunoreactivity to CGRP fibers in the central pulp region indicative of C-fibres. GFAP immunoreactivity was observed near the odontoblastic, cell-rich regions and throughout the regenerated pulp. Conclusions RAP induces pulp regeneration following regenerative endodontic procedures with cells identity by gene expression demonstrating a distribution pattern similar to the authentic pulp innervation. A- and C-fibers, as well as GFAP specific to astrocytic differentiation, are recognized. The origin of the regenerated neural networks may be derived from the Sox2 identified stem cells within the apical papilla.

Abstract
Angiogenesis play a crucial role in the regeneration of hard and soft tissue around dental titanium (Ti) implant. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) promotes tissue regeneration and stimulates angiogenesis but its effect on the angiogenesis on Ti surfaces was never investigated. The effect of EMD on the angiogenic activity of endothelial cells cultured on pre-treated smooth Ti (PT), acidetched (A), coarse-grit blasted and acid-etched (SLA) surfaces and tissue culture plastic (TCP) in the presence or absence of EMD was investigated. EMD inhibited the proliferation/viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) growing on A and SLA Ti surfaces. EMD induced an increase in the expression of all these genes in HUVECs grown on SLA surface but not on other surfaces. Summarizing, our data show that EMD influences proliferation and expression of angiogenesis associated gene in HUVECs grown on moderately rough SLA surfaces, suggesting that EMD might promote angiogenesis following implantation.

Abstract
Ameloblastin (AMBN) is an enamel matrix protein that has various biological functions such as healing dental pulp and repairing bone fractures. In the present study, we clarified the effect of AMBN on the expression of an inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human macrophages. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that LPS treatment upregulated expression of the IL-1β gene in U937 cells. Interestingly, AMBN significantly enhanced IL-1β gene expression in LPS-treated U937 cells as well as the secretion of mature IL-1β into culture supernatants by these cells. AMBN also activated caspase-1 p10 expression in LPS-treated U937 cells. Pretreatment with a caspase-1 inhibitor, Z-YVAD-FMK, downregulated the mature IL-1β expression enhanced by AMBN treatment in LPS-treated U937 cells. A co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that treatment with LPS and AMBN upregulated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) interactions, but there was no significant difference compared with LPS treatment alone in U937 cells. In contrast, western blot analysis revealed that AMBN remarkably prolonged the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. An ERK1/2-selective inhibitor, U0126, suppressed expression of the IL-1β gene as well as its protein expression in U937 cells treated with LPS and AMBN. Taken together, these results indicate that AMBN enhances IL-1β production in LPS-treated U937 cells through ERK1/2 phosphorylation and caspase-1 activation, suggesting that AMBN upregulates the inflammatory response in human macrophages and plays an important role in innate immunity.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) can mimic odontogenic effects by inducing the proliferation and differentiation of connective tissue progenitor cells, stimulating bone growth and arresting epithelial cells migration. To the best of our knowledge, there is no data indicating that any active component of EMD reduces epithelial cell viability. The present study examines the impact of commercial lyophilized EMD, porcine recombinant amelogenin (prAMEL; 21.3 kDa) and tyrosine-rich amelogenin peptide (TRAP) on the adherence, proliferation and migration of human epithelial cells in real-time. The tongue carcinoma cell line SCC-25 was stimulated with EMD, porcine recombinant AMEL and TRAP, at concentrations of 12.5, 25 and 50 µg/ml. Cell adherence, migration and proliferation were monitored in real-time using the xCELLigence system. No significant effects of EMD on the morphology, adhesion, proliferation and migration of SCC-25 cells were observed. However, porcine recombinant AMEL had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on SCC-25 cell proliferation and migration. Predominantly, no notable differences were found between control and TRAP-treated cells in terms of cell adhesion and migration, a decrease in proliferation was observed, but this was not statistically significant. EMD and its active components do not increase the tongue cancer cell viability.

Abstract
Background Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is an effective biomaterial for periodontal tissue regeneration and might stimulate angiogenesis. Tyrosine-rich amelogenin peptide (TRAP) is present in EMD and is thought to contribute in its biological activity. In the present study, we investigated the effect of chemically synthesized TRAP on proliferation, migration, angiogenic structure formation, and differentiation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Material and methods The effects of TRAP isolated from EMD and chemically synthesized TRAP on proliferation/viability, migration, and angiogenic structure formation were investigated. Expression of angiopoietin-2 (ang-2), von Willebrand factor (vWF), E-selectin, intracellular adhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT-1), and kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) was measured on both messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels. Results The proliferation/viability of HUVECs was inhibited by TRAP at concentration of 100 μg/ml and slightly stimulated by EMD at similar concentration. Both EMD and TRAP stimulated endothelial cell migration in microchemotaxis chamber. The effect of both TRAP preparations on the migration was significantly higher than that of EMD. All substances stimulated formation of angiogenic structure in vitro. The expression of ICAM-1, E-selectin, FLT-1, KDR, and vWF was significantly increased by both TRAP and EMD at a concentration 50 μg/ml. The expression of ang-2 was not affected by TRAP but was significantly increased by EMD. Conclusion Our in vitro study shows that TRAP confer the most effects of EMD on the endothelial cells. Clinical relevance TRAP might be used as a basis for development of new approaches for periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have focused on the periodontal regenerative functions of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), a heat-treated preparation derived from enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) of developing porcine teeth. In this study, periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (PDLSCs) were isolated, and the effects of EMD on the extracorporeal induction process and the characteristics of PDLSC sheets were investigated for their potential as a more effective stem-cell therapy. EMD-enhanced cell sheets could be induced by complete medium supplemented with 50 μg/mL vitamin C and 100 μg/mL EMD. The EMD-enhanced cell sheets appeared thicker and more compact than the normal PDLSC sheets, demonstrated more layers of cells (3-7 layers), secreted richer extracellular matrix (ECM), showed varying degrees of increases in mRNA expression of periodontal tissue-specific genes (COL I, POSTN), calcification-related genes (RUNX2, OPN, OCN) and a cementum tissue-specific gene (CAP), and possessed a better mineralization ability in terms of osteogenic differentiation in vitro. These EMD-enhanced cell sheets may represent a potential option for stem-cell therapy for PDL regeneration.

Abstract
Background Amelogenin is an extracellular matrix protein well known for its role in the organization and mineralization of enamel. Clinically, it is used for periodontal regeneration and, due to its finding also in predentin and intercellular spaces of dental pulp cells, it has recently been suggested for pulp capping procedures. The aim of this study was to analyse in vitro the effect of the recombinant human full-length amelogenin on the growth and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Methods Human DPSCs were treated with a supplement of amelogenin at a concentration of 10 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml and 1000 ng/ml. The groups were compared to the unstimulated control in terms of cell morphology and proliferation, mineralization and gene expression for ALP (alkaline phosphatase), DMP1 (dentin matrix protein-1) and DSPP (dentin sialophosphoprotein). Results Amelogenin affects hDPSCs differently than PDL (periodontal ligament) cells and other cell lines. The proliferation rate at two weeks is significantly reduced in presence of the highest concentration of amelogenin as compared to the unstimulated control. hDPSCs treated with low concentrations present a downregulation of DMP1 and DSPP, which is significant for DSPP (p = 0.011), but not for DMP1 (p = 0.395). Conclusions These finding suggest that the role of full-length amelogenin is not restricted to participation in tooth structure. It influences the differentiation of hDPSC according to various concentrations and this might impair the clinical results of pulp capping.

Abstract
Objectives It has recently been shown that enamel matrix derivative (EMD) components (Fraction C, containing <6 kDa peptides (mainly a 5.3 kDa tyrosine-rich amelogenin peptide (TRAP)), and Fraction A, containing a mixture of >6 kDa peptides (including a leucine-rich amelogenin peptide (LRAP))) differentially regulate osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. The present study examined whether EMD and the EMD Fractions (i) bind and internalize into PDL cells and (ii) precipitate and form insoluble complexes on PDL cells. Materials and methods Biotin-labelled EMD/EMD Fractions were incubated with PDL cells under various different culture conditions and confocal and electron microscopies were carried out to examine the binding and intracellular trafficking of these proteins. Results The results reported here show, for the first time, that at least some components in Fraction A and the TRAP peptide in Fraction C can bind and be internalized by human PDL cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. In addition, Fraction A was found to form insoluble aggregate-like structures on PDL cells, whereas Fraction C was soluble in culture media. Conclusion Soluble amelogenin isoform TRAP appears to be internalizing into a subset of PDL cells. Moreover, TRAP uptake is most likely controlled by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Clinical relevance Information on interaction between PDL cells and EMD/TRAP might prove useful in designing targeted interventions (i.e. use of chemically prepared soluble amelogenin peptides) to repair/regenerate periodontal tissues. Such interventions can also (i) avoid the use of rather crude animal-derived enamel matrix protein (EMP)/EMD preparation and (ii) preparation of cost-effective and more controlled chemically synthesized amelogenin peptides for the clinical use.

Effect of different enamel matrix derivative proteins on behavior and differentiation of endothelial cells. Dent Mater 2015; 31:822-32.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is an effective biomaterial for periodontal tissue regeneration and might stimulate angiogenesis. In order to clarify mechanisms underlying its biological activity, we separated two EMD fractions with different molecular weight protein components and investigated their effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. METHODS Fraction Low-Molecular Weight (LMW) included proteins with a molecular weight (M.W.)<8kDa. Fraction LMW-depleted included proteins with M.W.>8kDa and lower than approximately 55kDa. The effect of EMD fractions on proliferation/viability, apoptosis, migration and expression of angiopoetin-2 (ang-2), von Willebrand factor (vWF), E-selectin, intracellular adhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors Flt-1 and KDR was investigated. RESULTS The proliferation/viability of HUVECs was inhibited by both LMW and LMW-depleted at concentrations 100μg/ml, whereas EMD slightly increased cell proliferation/viability. The expression of all investigated proteins was up-regulated by EMD. However, differences in the effect of EMD fractions on the protein expression were observed. The effect of LMW-depleted on the expression of ICAM-1 and E-selectin was markedly higher compared to LMW. In contrast, the expression of vWF and VEGF receptors Flt-1 and KDR was primarily affected LMW than by LMW depleted. The expression of ang-2 was not influenced by LMW and LMW-depleted. HUVECs migration was stimulated more strongly by LMW than by EMD and LMW-depleted. CONCLUSION Our in vitro study shows that the proteins composing EMD have different and specific biological activities and consequently have the ability to cover different aspects of EMD's biological and clinical effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, periodontal regeneration has focused predominantly on bone substitutes and/or barrier membrane application to provide for defect fill and/or selected cell repopulation of the lesion. More recently, a number of technologies have evolved that can be viewed as emerging therapeutic approaches for periodontal regeneration, and these technologies were considered in the review paper and by the consensus group. The goal of this consensus report on emerging regenerative approaches for periodontal hard and soft tissue reconstruction was to develop a consensus document based on the accompanying review paper and on additional materials submitted before and at the consensus group session. METHODS The review paper was sent to all the consensus group participants in advance of the consensus conference. In addition and also before the conference, individual consensus group members submitted additional material for consideration by the group. At the conference, each consensus group participant introduced themselves and provided disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. The review paper was briefly presented by two of the authors and discussed by the consensus group. A discussion of each of the following topics then occurred based on the content of the review: a general summary of the topic, implications for patient-reported outcomes, and suggested research priorities for the future. As each topic was discussed based on the review article, supplemental information was then added that the consensus group agreed on. Last, an updated reference list was created. RESULTS The application of protein and peptide therapy, cell-based therapy, genetic therapy, application of scaffolds, bone anabolics, and lasers were found to be emerging technologies for periodontal regeneration. Other approaches included the following: 1) therapies directed at the resolution of inflammation; 2) therapies that took into account the influence of the microbiome; 3) therapies involving the local regulation of phosphate and pyrophosphate metabolism; and 4) approaches directed at harnessing current therapies used for other purposes. The results indicate that, with most emerging technologies, the specific mechanisms of action are not well understood nor are the specific target cells identified. Patient-related outcomes were typically not addressed in the literature. Numerous recommendations can be made for future research priorities for both basic science and clinical application of emerging therapies. The need to emphasize the importance of regeneration of a functional periodontal organ system was noted. The predictability and efficacy of outcomes, as well as safety concerns and the cost-to-benefit ratio were also identified as key factors for emerging technologies. CONCLUSIONS A number of technologies appear viable as emerging regenerative approaches for periodontal hard and soft tissue regeneration and are expanding the potential of reconstructing the entire periodontal organ system. The cost-to-benefit ratio and safety issues are important considerations for any new emerging therapies. Clinical Recommendation: At this time, there is insufficient evidence on emerging periodontal regenerative technologies to warrant definitive clinical recommendations.
