Abstract
Caries and pulpitis remain a major global disease burden and affect the quality of life of patients. Odontoblasts are key players in the progression of caries and pulpitis, not only secreting and mineralizing to form dentin, but also acting as a wall of defense to initiate immune defenses. Mitochondrion is an information processor for numerous cellular activities, and dysregulation of mitochondrion homeostasis not only affects cellular metabolism but also triggers a wide range of diseases. Elucidating mitochondrial homeostasis in odontoblasts can help deepen scholars' understanding of odontoblast-associated diseases. Articles on mitochondrial homeostasis in odontoblasts were evaluated for information pertinent to include in this narrative review. This narrative review focused on understanding the complex interplay between mitochondrial homeostasis in odontoblasts under physiological and pathological conditions. Furthermore, mitochondria-centered therapeutic strategies (including mitochondrial base editing, targeting platforms, and mitochondrial transplantation) were emphasized by resolving key genes that regulate mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are involved in odontoblast differentiation and function, and act as mitochondrial danger-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) to mediate odontoblast pathological progression. Novel mitochondria-centered therapeutic strategies are particularly attractive as emerging therapeutic approaches for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis. It is expected to probe key events of odontoblast differentiation and advance the clinical resolution of dentin formation and mineralization disorders and odontoblast-related diseases.

[PMID: 38744683 DOI: 10.1111/bph.16386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pulpitis is associated with tooth hypersensitivity and results in pulpal damage. Thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels expressed in the dental pulp may be key transducers of inflammation and nociception. We aimed at investigating the expression and role of thermo-TRPs in primary human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) in normal and inflammatory conditions. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Inflammatory conditions were induced in hDPC cultures by applying polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). Gene expression and pro-inflammatory cytokine release were measured by RT-qPCR and ELISA. Functions of TRPA1 channels were investigated by monitoring changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Mitochondrial superoxide production was measured using a fluorescent substrate. Cellular viability was assessed by measuring the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases and cytoplasmic esterases. TRPA1 activity was modified by agonists, antagonists, and gene silencing. KEY RESULTS Transcripts of TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPC5, and TRPA1 were highly expressed in control hDPCs, whereas TRPV3, TRPM2, and TRPM3 expressions were much lower, and TRPM8 was not detected. Poly(I:C) markedly up-regulated TRPA1 but not other thermo-TRPs. TRPA1 agonist-induced Ca2+ signals were highly potentiated in inflammatory conditions. Poly(I:C)-treated cells displayed increased Ca2+ responses to H2O2, which was abolished by TRPA1 antagonists. Inflammatory conditions induced oxidative stress, stimulated mitochondrial superoxide production, resulted in mitochondrial damage, and decreased cellular viability of hDPCs. This inflammatory cellular damage was partly prevented by the co-application of TRPA1 antagonist or TRPA1 silencing. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Pharmacological blockade of TRPA1 channels may be a promising therapeutic approach to alleviate pulpitis and inflammation-associated pulpal damage.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) in human odontoblast-like cells participate in lipopolysaccharide-induced immune response. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 155:105800. [PMID: 37683373 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105800] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) have a function in responding to environmental stimuli in human odontoblast-like cells (hOLCs). Additionally, to explore whether activation of TRPA1 and TRPM8 in hOLCs participates in the regulation of the inflammatory process. DESIGN Changes in gene and protein expression levels of TRPA1 and TRPM8 in cultured hOLCs following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, which mimics inflammation, were examined using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Furthermore, we compared the expression profiles of 80 cytokines between LPS- and vehicle-treated hOLCs and investigated how the production of highly increased cytokines in LPS-treated hOLCs was affected by the pharmacological inhibition of TRPA1 and TRPM8. RESULTS The expression of TRPA1 and TRPM8 in hOLCs was observed and their mRNAs and proteins were upregulated in hOLCs after LPS treatment. Moreover, cytokine antibody assays revealed that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1, CCL2), growth-regulated protein α (GROα, CXCL1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8 (CXCL8) were significantly upregulated by LPS. The pharmacological inhibition of TRPA1 (HC-030031) during LPS treatment attenuated the expression of CCL2, CXCL1, and IL-8, whereas the pharmacological inhibition of TRPM8 (PF05105679) suppressed the expression of CCL2, CXCL1, and IL-8 as well as IL-6. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that hOLCs express TRPA1 and TRPM8, which are upregulated during inflammation. In addition to being sensors of potentially harmful stimuli, TRPA1 and TRPM8 in hOLCs play important roles in regulating inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In Covid-19, there is uncontrolled activation of immune cells with a massive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the development of cytokine storm. These inflammatory changes induce impairment of different organ functions, including the central nervous system (CNS), leading to acute brain injury and substantial changes in the neurotransmitters, including serotonin (5-HT) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which have immunomodulatory properties through modulation of central and peripheral immune responses. In Covid-19, 5-HT neurotransmitters and CGRP could contribute to abnormal and atypical vascular reactivity. Sumatriptan is a pre-synaptic 5-HT (5-HT1D and 5-HT1B) agonist and inhibits the release of CGRP. Both 5-HT and CGRP seem to be augmented in Covid-19 due to underlying activation of inflammatory signaling pathways and hyperinflammation. In virtue of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with inhibition release of 5-HT and CGRP, Sumatriptan may reduce Covid-19 hyperinflammation. Therefore, Sumatriptan might be a novel potential therapeutic strategy in managing Covid-19. In conclusion, Sumatriptan could be an effective therapeutic strategy in managing Covid-19 through modulation of 5-HT neurotransmitters and inhibiting CGRP.

2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-derived reactive oxygen species stimulate ATP release via TRPA1 in human dental pulp cells. Sci Rep 2022; 12:12343. [PMID: 35853988 PMCID: PMC9296549 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-16559-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels are involved in calcium signaling in odontoblasts and dental pain. The resin monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), used in dental restorative procedures, is related to apoptotic cell death via oxidative stress. Although the TRPA1 channel is highly sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS), the effect of HEMA-induced ROS on ATP release to the extracellular space and the TRPA1 channel has not been clarified in human dental pulp. In this study, we investigated the extracellular ATP signaling and TRPA1 activation by HEMA-derived ROS in immortalized human dental pulp cells (hDPSC-K4DT). Among the ROS-sensitive TRP channels, TRPA1 expression was highest in undifferentiated hDPSC-K4DT cells, and its expression levels were further enhanced by osteogenic differentiation. In differentiated hDPSC-K4DT cells, 30 mM HEMA increased intracellular ROS production and ATP release, although 3 mM HEMA had no effect. Pretreatment with the free radical scavenger PBN (N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone) or TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031 suppressed HEMA-induced responses. These results suggest that ROS production induced by a higher dose of HEMA activates the TRPA1 channel in human dental pulp cells, leading to ATP release. These findings may contribute to the understanding of the molecular and cellular pathogenesis of tertiary dentin formation and pain in response to dental biomaterials.

Kinetics of LYVE-1-positive M2-like macrophages in developing and repairing dental pulp in vivo and their pro-angiogenic activity in vitro. Sci Rep 2022; 12:5176.

Abstract
Tissue-resident macrophages expressing lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1) are found in multiple tissues and organs. We aimed to evaluate the dynamics and biological functions of LYVE-1+ macrophages in dental pulp during post-injury tissue remodeling. Immunofluorescence staining of mouse embryos revealed that LYVE-1+ macrophages colonized dental pulp before birth. In mature rat molar dental pulp, LYVE-1+ macrophages were the main subset of macrophages expressing CD163, an M2 marker, and were distributed throughout the tissue. In response to dental pulp injury induced by cavity preparation, LYVE-1+ macrophages quickly disappeared from the affected area of the pulp and gradually repopulated during the wound healing process. RAW264.7 mouse macrophages cultured with a mixture of macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-4, and dexamethasone increased LYVE-1 expression, whereas lipopolysaccharide-stimulation decreased LYVE-1 expression. Enforced expression of Lyve1 in RAW264.7 cells resulted in increased mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (Mmp2), Mmp9, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (Vegfa). Lyve1-expressing macrophages promoted the migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In conclusion, LYVE-1+ tissue-resident M2-like macrophages in dental pulp showed dynamism in response to pulp injury, and possibly play an important role in angiogenesis during wound healing and tissue remodeling.

Abstract
TRPA1, a nonselective cation channel, is expressed in sensory afferent that innervates peripheral targets. Neuronal TRPA1 can promote tissue repair, remove harmful stimuli and induce protective responses via the release of neuropeptides after the activation of the channel by chemical, exogenous, or endogenous irritants in the injured tissue. However, chronic inflammation after repeated noxious stimuli may result in the development of several diseases. In addition to sensory neurons, TRPA1, activated by inflammatory agents from some non-neuronal cells in the injured area or disease, might promote or protect disease progression. Therefore, TRPA1 works as a molecular sentinel of tissue damage or as an inflammation gatekeeper. Most kidney damage cases are associated with inflammation. In this review, we summarised the role of TRPA1 in neurogenic or non-neurogenic inflammation and in kidney disease, especially the non-neuronal TRPA1. In in vivo animal studies, TRPA1 prevented sepsis-induced or Ang-II-induced and ischemia-reperfusion renal injury by maintaining mitochondrial haemostasis or via the downregulation of macrophage-mediated inflammation, respectively. Renal tubular epithelial TRPA1 acts as an oxidative stress sensor to mediate hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in vitro and ischaemia-reperfusion-induced kidney injury in vivo through MAPKs/NF-kB signalling. Acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with high renal tubular TRPA1 expression had low complete renal function recovery. In renal disease, TPRA1 plays different roles in different cell types accordingly. These findings depict the important role of TRPA1 and warrant further investigation.
