Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a significant health problem globally and is linked to a number of complications such as cardiovascular disease, bone fragility and periodontitis. Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are a promising therapeutic approach for bone and periodontal regeneration; however, the effect of T2DM on the expression of osteogenic and periodontal markers in BM-MSCs is not fully established. Furthermore, the effect of the presence of comorbidities such as diabetes and osteoarthritis on BM-MSCs is also yet to be investigated. In the present study, BM-MSCs were isolated from osteoarthritic knee joints of diabetic and nondiabetic donors. Both cell groups were compared for their clonogenicity, proliferation rates, MSC enumeration and expression of surface markers. Formation of calcified deposits and expression of osteogenic and periodontal markers were assessed after 1, 2 and 3 weeks of basal and osteogenic culture. Diabetic and nondiabetic BM-MSCs showed similar clonogenic and growth potentials along with comparable numbers of MSCs. However, diabetic BM-MSCs displayed lower expression of periostin (POSTN) and cementum protein 1 (CEMP-1) at Wk3 osteogenic and Wk1 basal cultures, respectively. BM-MSCs from T2DM patients might be suitable candidates for stem cell-based therapeutics. However, further investigations into these cells' behaviours in vitro and in vivo under inflammatory environments and hyperglycaemic conditions are still required.

Zhang M, Zheng J, Wu S, Chen H, Xiang L. Dynamic expression of IGFBP3 modulate dual actions of mineralization micro-environment during tooth development via Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Biol Direct 2023; 18:34. [PMID: 37365579 DOI: 10.1186/s13062-023-00391-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth development, as one of the major mineralized tissues in the body, require fine-tuning of mineralization micro-environment. The interaction between dental epithelium and mesenchyme plays a decisive role in this process. With epithelium-mesenchyme dissociation study, we found interesting expression pattern of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) in response to disruption of dental epithelium-mesenchyme interaction. Its action and related mechanisms as regulator of mineralization micro-environment during tooth development are investigated. RESULTS Expressions of osteogenic markers at early stage of tooth development are significantly lower than those at later stage. BMP2 treatment further confirmed a high mineralization micro-environment is disruptive at early stage, but beneficial at later stage of tooth development. In contrast, IGFBP3's expression increased gradually from E14.5, peaked at P5, and decreased afterwards, demonstrating an inverse correlation with osteogenic markers. RNA-Seq and Co-immunoprecipitation showed that IGFBP3 regulates the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway activity by enhancing DKK1 expression and direct protein-protein interaction. The suppression of the mineralization microenvironment effectuated by IGFBP3 could be reversed by the DKK1 inhibitor WAY-262611, further demonstrating that IGFBP3 exerted its influence via DKK1. CONCLUSION A deeper understanding of tooth development mechanisms is essential for tooth regeneration, which have great implications for dental care. The current study demonstrated that the IGFBP3 expression is regulated in accordance with the needs of the mineralization microenvironment during tooth development, and IGFBP3 exerts its modulating action on osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs by DKK1-Wnt/ beta-catenin axis.

Characterization of nano-hydroxyapatite incorporated carboxymethyl chitosan composite on human dental pulp stem cells. Int Endod J 2023; 56:486-501. [PMID: 36565040 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
AIM To compare the odontogenic differentiation potential of a composite scaffold (CSHA) comprising of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) with Biodentine on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). METHODOLOGY A CSHA scaffold was prepared through an ultrasonication route by adding nHAp and CMC (1:5 w/w) in water medium followed by freeze-drying. Physicochemical characterization was achieved using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In-vitro bioactivity and pH assessments were done by soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 28 days. The angiogenic and odontogenic differentiation abilities were assessed by expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) markers on cultured hDPSCs by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR at 7, 14 and 21 days. Cell viability/proliferation and biomineralization abilities of CSHA were compared with Biodentine by MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin Red Staining (ARS) and osteopontin (OPN) expression on hDPSCs following 7 and 14 days. Data were statistically analysed with Kruskal Wallis and Friedman tests as well as one way anova followed by appropriate post hoc tests (p < .05). RESULTS Characterization experiments revealed a porous microstructure of CSHA with pore diameter ranging between 60 and 200 μm and 1.67 Ca/P molar ratio along with the characteristic functional groups of both HAp and CMC. CSHA displayed bioactivity in SBF by forming apatite-like crystals and maintained a consistent pH value of 7.70 during 28 days' in vitro studies. CSHA significantly upregulated VEGF and DSPP levels on hDPSCs on day 21 compared with day 7 (p < .05). Further, CSHA supported cell viability/proliferation over 14 days like Biodentine with no statistical differences (p > .05). However, CSHA exhibited increased ALP and ARS activity with an intense OPN staining compared with Biodentine after 14 days (p < .05). CONCLUSION The results highlighted the odontogenic differentiation and biomineralization abilities of CSHA on hDPSCs with significant VEGF and DSPP gene upregulations. Further, CSHA exhibited enhanced mineralization activity than Biodentine, as evidenced by increased ALP, ARS and OPN activity on day 14. The nHAp-CMC scaffold has the potential to act as an effective pulp capping agent; however, this needs to be further validated through in-vivo animal studies.

Effects of Human Deciduous Dental Pulp-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Conditioned Medium on the Metabolism of HUVECs, Osteoblasts, and BMSCs. Cells 2022; 11:cells11203222. [PMID: 36291089 PMCID: PMC9600042 DOI: 10.3390/cells11203222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we assessed the effects of human deciduous dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived conditioned medium (SHED-CM) on the properties of various cell types. The effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in SHED-CM on the luminal architecture, proliferative ability, and angiogenic potential of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were determined. We also investigated the effects of SHED-CM on the proliferation of human-bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and mouse calvarial osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) as well as the expression of ALP, OCN, and RUNX2. The protein levels of ALP were examined using Western blot analysis. VEGF blockade in SHED-CM suppressed the proliferative ability and angiogenic potential of HUVECs, indicating that VEGF in SHED-CM contributes to angiogenesis. The culturing of hBMSCs and MC3T3-E1 cells with SHED-CM accelerated cell growth and enhanced mRNA expression of bone differentiation markers. The addition of SHED-CM enhanced ALP protein expression in hBMSCs and MT3T3-E1 cells compared with that of the 0% FBS group. Furthermore, SHED-CM promoted the metabolism of HUVECs, MC3T3-E1 cells, and hBMSCs. These findings indicate the potential benefits of SHED-CM in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the growth of teeth and mandibular and maxillary bones in subjects with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Mesiodistal tooth width of 28 maxillary and mandibular dental models of 14 adult IGHD subjects (9 men) were digitalized and compared to 40 models of 20 normal-statured controls (11 men). The mean SDS of the maxillary and mandibular teeth were compared with height, cephalic perimeter, total anterior facial height, total maxillary and mandibular length, and maxillary and mandibular arches. RESULTS All average mesiodistal dimensions in absolute values of the 14 dental pairs were reduced in the IGHD group. Eight of 28 (28.6%) mesiodistal dimensions in IGHD subjects of both sexes had an average SDS below -2, thirteen of them (46.4%) had mean SDS between -1 and - 2, and seven of them (25.0%) had SDS above -1. The highest SDS values were the upper lateral incisor (-0.32 in women), and the upper canine (-0.91 in men). The lowest SDS values were the 2nd upper molar (-3.51 in men), and the 2nd upper premolar (-2.64 in women). The ascending order of the mean SDS was height, total maxillary length, total mandibular length, total anterior height of the face, cephalic perimeter, the maxillary arches width, the mesiodistal width of the mandibular teeth, the mesiodistal width of the maxillary teeth and the mandibular arches width. CONCLUSIONS Reduction in mesiodistal width is present in untreated IGHD adults with magnitude of tooth size reduction being lower than height, cephalic perimeter, total anterior facial height, and most jaw measurements. IGHD abolishes the sexual dimorphism in mesiodistal dental measures.

Activation of dopamine receptor D1 promotes osteogenic differentiation and reduces glucocorticoid-induced bone loss by upregulating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Mol Med 2022; 28:23. [PMID: 35189819 PMCID: PMC8862482 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-022-00453-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The inhibition of osteogenic differentiation is a major factor in glucocorticoid-induced bone loss, but there is currently no effective treatment. Dopamine, a major neurotransmitter, transmits signals via five different seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors termed D1 to D5. Although the relevance of the neuroendocrine system in bone metabolism has emerged, the precise effects of dopamine receptor signaling on osteoblastogenesis remain unknown. Methods In vitro, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the expression of dopamine receptors in MC3T3-E1 and BMSCs cells treated with dexamethasone (Dex). In addition, Alizarin red S (ARS) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and western blotting were used to evaluate the effect of D1R activation on osteogenic differentiation in Dex-induced MC3T3-E1 cells via the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. In vivo, micro-CT and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), toluidine blue and immunohistochemical staining were used to determine the effect of D1R activation on Dex-induced bone loss. Results We demonstrated that the trend in D1R but not D2-5R was consistent with that of osteogenic markers in the presence of Dex. We also demonstrated that the activation of D1R promoted Dex-induced osteogenic differentiation by activating the ERK1/2 pathway in vitro. We further demonstrated that a D1R agonist could reduce Dex-induced bone loss, while pretreatment with a D1R inhibitor blocked the effect of a D1R agonist in vivo. Conclusions Activation of D1R promotes osteogenic differentiation and reduces Dex-induced bone loss by activating the ERK1/2 pathway. Hence, D1R could serve as a potential therapeutic target for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

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

Abstract
The dentin-pulp complex is essential for the long-term integrity and viability of teeth but it is susceptible to damage caused by external factors. Because traditional approaches for preserving the dentin-pulp complex have various limitations, there is a need for novel methods for dentin-pulp complex reconstruction. The development of stem cell-based tissue engineering has given rise to the possibility of combining dental stem cells with a tissue-reparative microenvironment to promote dentin-pulp complex regeneration. Concentrated growth factor, a platelet concentrate, is a promising scaffold for the treatment of dentin-pulp complex disorders. Given its characteristics of autogenesis, convenience, usability, and biodegradability, concentrated growth factor has gained popularity in medical and dental fields for repairing bone defects and promoting soft-tissue healing. Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated that concentrated growth factor can promote the proliferation and migration of dental stem cells. Here, we review the current state of knowledge on the effects of concentrated growth factor on stem cells and its potential applications in dentin-pulp complex regeneration.

The Role of GH/IGF Axis in Dento-Alveolar Complex from Development to Aging and Therapeutics: A Narrative Review. Cells 2021; 10:cells10051181.

Abstract
The GH/IGF axis is a major regulator of bone formation and resorption and is essential to the achievement of normal skeleton growth and homeostasis. Beyond its key role in bone physiology, the GH/IGF axis has also major pleiotropic endocrine and autocrine/paracrine effects on mineralized tissues throughout life. This article aims to review the literature on GH, IGFs, IGF binding proteins, and their respective receptors in dental tissues, both epithelium (enamel) and mesenchyme (dentin, pulp, and tooth-supporting periodontium). The present review re-examines and refines the expression of the elements of the GH/IGF axis in oral tissues and their in vivo and in vitro mechanisms of action in different mineralizing cell types of the dento-alveolar complex including ameloblasts, odontoblasts, pulp cells, cementoblasts, periodontal ligament cells, and jaw osteoblasts focusing on cell-specific activities. Together, these data emphasize the determinant role of the GH/IGF axis in physiological and pathological development, morphometry, and aging of the teeth, the periodontium, and oral bones in humans, rodents, and other vertebrates. These advancements in oral biology have elicited an enormous interest among investigators to translate the fundamental discoveries on the GH/IGF axis into innovative strategies for targeted oral tissue therapies with local treatments, associated or not with materials, for orthodontics and the repair and regeneration of the dento-alveolar complex and oral bones.

Abstract
Much information is currently available for molecules in early odontogenesis, but there is limited knowledge regarding terminal cytodifferentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts for the determination of normal crown morphology. The present differential display PCR (DD-PCR) revealed that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) was differentially expressed in molar tooth germs between the cap (before crown mineralization) and root formation (after crown mineralization) stages. Real-time PCR confirmed that the expression levels of IGFBP1-4 were not significantly changed but those of IGFBP5-7 were upregulated in a time-dependent manner. Immunoreactivities for IGFBP5-7 were hardly seen in molar germs at the cap/early bell stage and protective-stage ameloblasts at the root formation stage. However, the reactivity was strong in odontoblasts and maturation-stage ameloblasts, which are morphologically and functionally characterized by wide intercellular space and active enamel matrix mineralization. The localization of each IGFBP was temporospatial. IGFBP5 was localized in the nuclei of fully differentiated odontoblasts and ameloblasts, while IGFBP6 was localized in the apical cytoplasm of ameloblasts and odontoblasts with dentinal tubules, and IGFBP7 was mainly found in the whole cytoplasm of odontoblasts and the intercellular space of ameloblasts. IGFBP silencing using specific siRNAs upregulated representative genes for dentinogenesis and amelogenesis, such as DMP1 and amelogenin, respectively, and augmented the differentiation media-induced mineralization, which was confirmed by alizarin red s and alkaline phosphatase staining. These results suggest that IGFBP5-7 may play independent and redundant regulatory roles in late-stage odontogenesis by modulating the functional differentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts.

Evidence from observational and in vitro studies suggests that insulin growth-factor-binding protein type 2 (IGFBP2) is a promising protein in non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, great efforts have been carried out to explore the role of IGFBP2 in obesity state and insulin-related diseases, which it is typically found decreased. However, the physiological pathways have not been explored yet, and the relevance of IGFBP2 as an important pathway integrator of metabolic disorders is still unknown. Here, we review and discuss the molecular structure of IGFBP2 as the first element of regulating the expression of IGFBP2. We highlight an update of the association between low serum IGFBP2 and an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and low insulin sensitivity. We hypothesize mechanisms of IGFBP2 on the development of obesity and insulin resistance in an insulin-independent manner, which meant that could be evaluated as a therapeutic target. Finally, we cover the most interesting lifestyle modifications that regulate IGFBP2, since lifestyle factors (diet and/or physical activity) are associated with important variations in serum IGFBP2.

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

Abstract
Conventional treatment approaches in irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis include the disinfection of the pulp space followed by filling with various materials, which is commonly known as the root canal treatment. Disadvantages including the loss of tooth vitality and defense mechanism against carious lesions, susceptibility to fractures, discoloration and microleakage led to the development of regenerative therapies for the dentin pulp-complex. The goal of dentin-pulp tissue regeneration is to reestablish the physiological pulp function such as pulp sensibility, pulp repair capability by mineralization and pulp immunity. Recent dentin-pulp tissue regeneration approaches can be divided into cell homing and cell transplantation. Cell based approaches include a suitable scaffold for the delivery of potent stem cells with or without bioactive molecules into the root canal system while cell homing is based on the recruitment of host endogenous stem cells from the resident tissue including periapical region or dental pulp. This review discusses the recent treatment modalities in dentin-pulp tissue regeneration through tissue engineering and current challenges and trends in this field of research.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies. Gemcitabine and doxorubicin are commonly used as the chemotherapy agents, but most of PDAC tumors eventually acquired resistance to chemotherapy. Accumulating evidence indicates that Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) plays a key role against tumor growth but its expression has commonly suppressed. The present study was designed to evaluate IGFBP-3 effects in chemotherapy sensitization of PDAC cells. Here, we report that the re-sensitization of chemoresistant PDAC cells was occurred by IGFBP-3 through recruitment of its death receptor (IGFBP-3R). Using gemcitabine, doxorubicin-resistant PDAC cell lines, we found that IGFBP-3 sensitized chemoresistant cells by activating apoptosis (as evaluated by Bax up-regulation, Bcl-2 down-regulation as well as Caspase-3 and Caspase 8 activation). IGFBP-3R was also found to have higher expression level in resistant AsPc-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells in comparison to parental cells. IGFBP-3R was also highly expressed in PDAC tumor which exposed to chemotherapy in comparison to un-treated PDAC tumors. In addition, we confirmed our finding by using specific siRNA to knocking down of IGFBP-3R which prevents IGFBP-3 Chemosensitization. Taken together, the present study for the first time indicates the clinical relevance for combining IGFBP-3 with chemotherapy to reduce chemoresistance in PDAC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral, dental, and craniofacial features of individuals affected by the chronic forms of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD). This study comprised a sample of adult and pediatric patients (n = 8) with chronic ASMD. The individuals underwent oral examinations to evaluate the occurrence of caries, as well as full-mouth periodontal examinations, to assess the occurrence and severity of periodontal diseases. Panoramic and profile radiographs were obtained to analyze dental conditions and craniofacial parameters. Participants also answered questionnaires to identify systemic impairment, parafunctional habits, and bruxism. Dental anomalies of size, shape, and number were found, with agenesis and microdontia being the predominant findings. The average of caries experience was 11.75 (±8.1). Only one patient had periodontal health and all adult individuals had periodontitis at different stages and degrees. Bruxism was found in 87.5% of the sample. The convex profile and maxillary and mandibular retrusion were the most relevant findings in the cephalometric analysis. It is concluded that individuals with chronic ASMD, in addition to several systemic manifestations, present significant modifications in their oral health, from a greater occurrence of dental anomalies, caries, periodontal disease, in addition to skeletal changes.

Regulation of IGF-I by IGFBP3 and IGFBP5 during odontoblast differentiation in mice. J Oral Biosci 2019; 61:157-162.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although intracellular signaling pathways of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) related to the proliferation of dental pulp cells have been investigated, the switching mechanism from cell proliferation to differentiation during odontogenesis remains elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the role of IGF binding protein (IGFBP) 3 and 5 in regulation of IGF-I during odontoblast differentiation in mouse incisors. METHODS The detailed expression patterns of IGF-I, IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), IGFBP3, and IGFBP5 together with that of an odontoblast differentiation marker, nestin, were examined by immunohistochemistry and/or in situ hybridization using paraffinized sections of TetOP-H2B-GFP mouse incisors at postnatal 4 weeks. RESULTS Undifferentiated dental papilla cells and preodontoblasts (preOB) showed intense IGF-I- and IGF-IRα-positive reactions, and the expression was observed in differentiated odontoblasts, such as immature odontoblasts (iOB) and mature odontoblasts (mOB). IGFBP3/Igfbp3 was transiently expressed in preOB and early iOB, and the intensity of expression gradually reduced with the progression of odontoblast differentiation. In contrast, immunohistochemical analysis for IGFBP5 identified a positive reaction in the undifferentiated dental papilla cells and differentiated odontoblasts, and the expression of Igfbp5 was reduced in the differentiated odontoblasts. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated the expression patterns of IGF-I, IGF-IR, IGFBP3, and IGFBP5 during odontoblast differentiation in mouse incisors. These results suggested that IGFBP3 regulates the transition from the proliferative to differentiation stage by inhibiting the action of IGF-I on the proliferation of dental papilla cells, and that IGFBP5 plays an important role in the maintenance of the differentiated odontoblasts during tooth development.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic procedures for immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis confer biological advantages such as tooth homeostasis, enhanced immune defense system, and a functional pulp-dentin complex, in addition to clinical advantages such as the facilitation of root development. Currently, this procedure is recognized as a paradigm shift from restoration using materials to regenerate pulp-dentin tissues. Many studies have been conducted with regard to stem/progenitor cells, scaffolds, and biomolecules, associated with pulp tissue engineering. However, preclinical and clinical studies have evidently revealed several drawbacks in the current clinical approach to revascularization that may lead to unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, our review examines the challenges encountered under clinical conditions and summarizes current research findings in an attempt to provide direction for transition from basic research to clinical practice.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have a lot of potential in regenerative medicine, and MSC-based therapies are currently explored in numerous research fields. Among these cells, deciduous or permanent dental pulp-MSC represent a promising option in tissue engineering. This expectation is based on their capacity to self-renew, to repair various damaged tissues and organs due to their multipotency, as well as their ability to modulate immune system. They present other advantages such as the harvesting by a simple, painless, and noninvasive procedure and the absence of ethical considerations. The role played by these cells in the reparative process is mainly attributed to paracrine mechanisms mediated by their secreted factors, namely the secretome. The secreted factors can be found in the cell culture medium, called conditioned medium (CM). Moreover, CM presents many advantages compared with cells such as possible use in allogeneic therapies. This minireview aims at investigating the therapeutic use of dental pulp MSC-derived CM to develop cell-free therapies. The analysis of the available literature illustrates its massive panel of potential applications: mainly reduction of inflammation, promotion of angiogenesis and neurogenesis, reduction of stroke or ischemia, and organ regeneration. Furthermore, studies often highlight its superiority over the other sources of CM derived from other stem cells for the same applications. Dental pulp MSC-derived CM is an attractive, noninvasive, and acellular tool for therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine. This promising novel approach should be further explored for clinical applications.

Growth Horm IGF Res 2018; 42-43:14-21. [PMID: 30071469 PMCID: PMC6259625 DOI: 10.1016/j.ghir.2018.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2018] [Revised: 07/16/2018] [Accepted: 07/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The IGF axis is represented by two growth factors (IGF1 and IGF2), two cognate cell surface receptors (IGF1R and IGF2R), six soluble high affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBP1-6) and several IGFBP proteases. IGF1 and IGF2 are present at high concentrations in bone and play a crucial role in the maintenance and differentiation of both foetal and adult skeleton. In order to understand the role of the IGF axis in bone and other tissues it is necessary to profile the expression and activity of all genes in the axis together with the activity of relevant ancillary proteins (including IGFBP proteases). In the current report we used differentiating human dental pulp cells (hDPC) to examine the expression and activity of the IGF axis during osteogenic differentiation of these cells. We found that, with the exception of IGF1 and IGFBP1, all components of the IGF axis are expressed in hDPCs. IGFBP-4 is the most abundantly expressed IGFBP species at both mRNA and protein levels under both basal and osteogenic conditions. Although we found no difference in IGFBP-4 expression under osteogenic conditions, we report increased expression and activity of pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A - an IGFBP-4 proteinase) leading to increased IGFBP-4 proteolysis in differentiating cell cultures. Further to this we report increased expression of IGF-2 (an activator of PAPP-A), and decreased expression of stanniocalcin-2 (STC2- a recently discovered inhibitor of PAPP-A) under osteogenic conditions. We also demonstrate that STC2 and PAPP-A are able to form complexes in hDPC conditioned medium indicating the potential for regulation of IGFBP-4 proteolysis through this mechanism. We suggest that these changes in the expression and activity of the IGF axis may represent part of an osteogenic signature characteristic of differentiating hDPCs.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a vital protein exist in circulation which interacts with high affinity to insulin-like growth factor (IGFs) altering their activities. Therefore, the interaction between IGFs and IGFBP-3 has a key role altering large spectrum of activities such as cell cycle progression, proliferation and apoptosis. Despite decades of research, the crystal structure of IGFBP-3 has not been identified possibly due to some technical challenge in its crystallizing. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of IGFBP-3 was predicted using homology modeling, Phyre2, and molecular dynamic. Its interaction with IGF-1 was also identified by HADDOCK software. IGFBP-3 has the most identity with other IGFBPs in N and C-domain; however, its linker domain has lower identity. Our data predicted that IGF-1 structurally interacts with N-domain and linker domain of IGFBP-3. Some conserved residues of IGFBP-3 such as Glu33, Arg36, Gly39, Arg60, Arg66, Asn109, and Ile146 interacts with Glu3, Asp12, Phe16, Gly19, Asp20, Arg21, and Glu58 of IGF-1. In addition, our data predict that the linker domain has a loop structure which covers post translational modification and interacts with IGF-1. The phosphorylation of Ser111 in linker domain, which previously has been shown to induce apoptosis make a repulsive force interrupting this interaction to IGF-1, which enables IGFBP-3 to induce apoptosis. The present study suggests that the linker domain has a key role in recognition of IGFBP-3 with IGF-1.

Abstract
The IGF-binding protein family contains six members that share significant structural homology. Their principal function is to regulate the actions of IGF1 and IGF2. These proteins are present in plasma and extracellular fluids and regulate access of both IGF1 and II to the type I IGF receptor. Additionally, they have functions that are independent of their ability to bind IGFs. Each protein is regulated independently of IGF1 and IGF2, and this provides an important mechanism by which other hormones and physiologic variables can regulate IGF actions indirectly. Several members of the family are sensitive to changes in intermediary metabolism. Specifically the presence of obesity/insulin resistance can significantly alter the expression of these proteins. Similarly changes in nutrition or catabolism can alter their synthesis and degradation. Multiple hormones such as glucocorticoids, androgens, estrogen and insulin regulate IGFBP synthesis and bioavailability. In addition to their ability to regulate IGF access to receptors these proteins can bind to distinct cell surface proteins or proteins in extracellular matrix and several cellular functions are influenced by these interactions. IGFBPs can be transported intracellularly and interact with nuclear proteins to alter cellular physiology. In pathophysiologic states, there is significant dysregulation between the changes in IGFBP synthesis and bioavailability and changes in IGF1 and IGF2. These discordant changes can lead to marked alterations in IGF action. Although binding protein physiology and pathophysiology are complex, experimental results have provided an important avenue for understanding how IGF actions are regulated in a variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting osteoblast differentiation, chondrocyte maturation, skeletal morphogenesis, and tooth formation. Dental phenotype in CCD include over-retained primary teeth, failed eruption of permanent teeth, and supernumerary teeth. The underlying mechanism is unclear. We previously reported one CCD patient with allelic RUNX2 deletion (CCD-011). In the current study, we determined the transcriptomic profiles of dental pulp cells from this patient compared to one sex-and-age matched non-affected individual. Next Generation RNA sequencing revealed that 60 genes were significantly dysregulated (63% upregulated and 27% downregulated). Among them, IGFBP2 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2) was found to be upregulated more than twofold in comparison to control cells. Stable overexpression of RUNX2 in CCD-011 pulp cells resulted in the reduction of IGFBP2. Moreover, ALPL expression was up-regulated in CCD-011 pulp cells after introduction of normal RUNX2. Promoter analysis revealed that there are four proximal putative RUNX2 binding sites in -1.5 kb IGFBP2 promoter region. Relative luciferase assay confirmed that IGFBP2 is a direct target of RUNX2. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that IGFBP2 was expressed in odontoblasts but not ameloblasts. This report demonstrated the importance of RUNX2 in the regulation of gene profile related to dental pulp cells and provided novel insight of RUNX2 into the negative regulation of IGFBP2.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis plays an important role in dental tissue regeneration and most components of this axis are expressed in human dental pulp cells (DPCs). In our previous study, we analyzed IGF axis gene expression in DPCs and demonstrated a novel role of IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-2 and -3 in coordinating mineralized matrix formation in differentiating DPCs. A more recent study from our laboratory partially characterized dental pulp stem cells from teeth with superficial caries (cDPCs) and showed that their potential to differentiate odontoblasts and/or into osteoblasts is enhanced by exposure to the mild inflammatory conditions characteristic of superficial caries. In the present study, we examine whether changes apparent in IGF axis expression during osteogenic differentiation of healthy DPCs are also apparent in DPCs derived from carious affected teeth.

Abstract
Dental pulp stromal cells (DPSCs) can be differentiated down lineages known to either express bone or dentin specific protein markers. Since the differentiation of cells can be heavily influenced by their environment, it may be possible to influence the osteogenic/odontogenic potential of DPSCs by modulating the mechanical properties of substrate on which they are grown. In this study, human DPSCs were grown with and without hydroxyapatite (HA) microparticles on a range of substrates including fibronectin-coated hydrogels and glass substrates, which represented an elastic moduli range of approximately 3 kPa-50 GPa, over a 21-day period. Alkaline phosphatase activity, osteopontin production, and mineralization were monitored. The presence of HA microparticles increased the relative degree of mineralized matrix produced by the cells relative to those in the same substrate and media condition without the HA microparticles. In addition, cultures with cells grown on stiffer substrates had higher ALP activity and higher degree of mineralization than those grown on softer substrates. This study shows that DPSCs are affected by the mechanical properties of their underlying growth substrate and by the presence of HA microparticles. In addition, relatively stiff substrates (>75 kPa) may be required for significant mineralization of these cultures. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 106A: 1789-1797, 2018.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis is required for the differentiation, development, and maintenance of bone tissue. Accordingly, dysregulation of this axis is associated with various skeletal pathologies including growth abnormalities and compromised bone structure. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the action of the IGF axis must be viewed holistically taking into account not just the actions of the growth factors and receptors, but also the influence of soluble high affinity IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs).There is a recognition that IGFBPs exert IGF-dependent and IGF-independent effects in bone and other tissues and that an understanding of the mechanisms of action of IGFBPs and their regulation in the pericellular environment impact critically on tissue physiology. In this respect, a group of IGFBP proteinases (which may be considered as ancillary members of the IGF axis) play a crucial role in regulating IGFBP function. In this model, cleavage of IGFBPs by specific proteinases into fragments with lower affinity for growth factor(s) regulates the partition of IGFs between IGFBPs and cell surface IGF receptors. In this review, we examine the importance of IGFBP function in bone tissue with special emphasis on the role of pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A). We examine the function of PAPP-A primarily as an IGFBP-4 proteinase and present evidence that PAPP-A induced cleavage of IGFBP-4 is potentially a key regulatory step in bone metabolism. We also highlight some recent findings with regard to IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-5 (also PAPP-A substrates) function in bone tissue and briefly discuss the actions of the other three IGFBPs (-1, -3, and -6) in this tissue. Although our main focus will be in bone we will allude to IGFBP activity in other cells and tissues where appropriate.

Abstract
Estradiol (E2) has many important actions in the tissues of the oral cavity. Disruption of E2 metabolism or alterations in systemic E2 concentrations have been associated with compromised periodontal health. In many instances such changes occur secondarily to the well characterised effects of E2 on bone physiology -especially maintenance of bone mineral density (BMD). Despite these important epidemiological findings, little is known about the mechanism of action of E2 in oral tissues or the expression and function of oestrogen receptor (ER) isoforms in these tissues. We have isolated human dental pulp cells (hDPCs), which are able to differentiate towards an osteogenic lineage under appropriate culture conditions. We show that hDPCs express ERα, ERβ1, ERβ2 and the cell membrane associated G protein-coupled ER (GPR30). Following osteogenic differentiation of hDPCs, ERβ1 and ERβ2 were up regulated approximately 50-fold while ERα and GPR30 were down regulated, but to a much lesser degree (approximately 2-fold). ERβ was characterised as a 59kDa protein following Western blot analysis with validated antibodies and ERβ was detected in both nuclear and cytoplasmic cell compartments following immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of cultured cells. Furthermore isoform specific antibodies detected both ERβ1 and ERβ2 in DPC cultures and in situ analysis of ERβ expression in decalcified tooth/pulp sections identified the odontoblast layer of pulp cells juxtaposed to the tooth enamel as strongly reactive for both ERβ isoforms. Finally the use of isoform specific agonists identified ERβ as the main receptor responsible for the pro-osteogenic effect of oestrogenic hormones in this tissue. Our data suggest that oestrogens stimulated osteogenic differentiation in hDPCs and that this action is mediated principally through the ERβ isoform. These findings may have important consequences for the investigation and treatment of oral and periodontal pathologies which are associated with imbalances in oestrogen concentrations and action.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can undergo several types of differentiation, including osteogenic differentiation. One osteogenesis-inducing factor that has been previously described is in vitro low-power laser irradiation of cells. Laser irradiation promotes the acceleration of bone matrix mineralization of the cell strain. However, no consensus exists regarding the dose and treatment time. We used DPSC strains from cleft lip and palate patients because new bone tissue engineering strategies have used DPSCs in preclinical and clinical trials for the rehabilitation of alveolar bone clefts. Optimizing bone tissue engineering techniques for cleft and lip palate patients by applying low-power laser therapy (LPLT) to DPSCs obtained from these patients can help improve current strategies to quickly close large alveolar clefts. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of LPLT at different energy densities in DPSC strains obtained from cleft lip and palate patients during in vitro osteogenic differentiation. Ten DPSC strains were obtained from cleft lip and palate patients and then used in the following study groups: group 1: control, the strains underwent osteogenic differentiation for 21 days; and groups 2, 3, and 4: the strains were irradiated each day with a low-power red laser (660 nm) (5, 10, and 20 J) during 21 days of osteogenic differentiation. Using Bonferroni's test, a statistically significant difference in the mean values was found between the irradiated groups (2, 3, and 4) and the control group (p < 0.001). However, no significant difference in osteogenic potential was found among the irradiated groups. Our findings showed that the osteogenic potential of DPSCs increases with red laser irradiation at 5, 10, and 20 J, and this treatment could be considered a new approach for preconditioning these cells to be used in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
We have isolated dental pulp cells (DPCs) from three healthy (hDPCs) and three carious (cDPCs) donors and shown that compared to hDPCs cells isolated from superficial carious lesions show higher clonogenic potential; show an equivalent proportion of cells with putative stem cell surface markers; show enhanced matrix mineralization capability; have enhanced angiogenic marker expression and retain the inflammatory phenotype in vitro characteristic of superficial caries lesions in vivo. Our findings suggest that cDPCs may be used for further investigation of the cross talk between inflammatory, angiogenic and mineralization pathways in repair of carious pulp. In addition cells derived from carious pulps (almost always discarded) may have potential for future applications in mineralized tissue repair and regeneration.
