Abstract
Gingival wound healing plays a critical role in maintaining oral health. However, this process can be delayed by oxidative stress and excessive inflammatory responses. In this study, we established a human inflammatory gingival tissue equivalent (iGTE) to investigate the inhibitory effects of hydrogen-rich water (HW), enzyme-digested edible bird's nest (EBND) and sialic acid (SA) on PMA (an inducer of oxidative free radicals)- and LPS (an inflammatory stimulus)-impaired wound healing. The iGTE was constructed by human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs), keratinocytes and macrophages under three-dimensional conditions. Wounds in the iGTE and hGF/keratinocyte monolayers were created by mechanical injury. Tissues and cells were pretreated with HW, EBND, and SA, and then exposed to the inflammatory and oxidative environment induced by PMA (10 ng/mL) and LPS (250 ng/mL). The inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 were quantitatively analyzed by ELISA. Histopathological image analysis was performed by HE and immunofluorescence staining. In the iGTE, PMA/LPS significantly reduced the epithelial thickness while causing a decrease in K8/18, E-cadherin, laminin and elastin expression and an increase in COX-2 expression along with ulcer-like lesions. In mechanically scratched hGFs and keratinocyte monolayers, PMA/LPS significantly impaired wound healing, and promoted the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8. Pretreatment of HW, EBND, and SA significantly suppressed PMA/LPS-induced wound healing delay and inflammatory responses in cell monolayers, as well as in the iGTE. Remarkably, the combined use of HW and EBND exhibited particularly robust results. Combined use of HW and EBND may be applied for the prevention and treatment of wound healing delay.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of low-level Er:YAG laser irradiation on proliferation and alternations in early gene expression of gingival fibroblasts. Mice primary gingival fibroblasts were irradiated with an Er:YAG laser (1.8, 3.9, and 5.8 J/cm2 ). Irradiation at 3.9 J/cm2 promoted cell proliferation without significant changes in lactate dehydrogenase or Hspa1a expression. Three hours after irradiation at 3.9 J/cm2 , the Fn1 expression level was significantly increased. RNA-seq identified 15 differentially expressed genes between irradiated and non-irradiated cells, some of which belonged to immediate early genes (IEGs). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis indicated MAPK pathway enhancement, and gene set enrichment analysis showed enrichment in the TGF-β signaling gene set. Enhanced proliferation via laser irradiation disappeared upon inhibition of Dusp4, Dusp5, and Tgfr1 expression. Low-level Er:YAG laser irradiation, especially at 3.9 J/cm2 without a major temperature elevation, enhanced fibroblast proliferation, via TGF-β and the MAPK signaling pathway following IEG expression.

[PMID: 37965810 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13205] [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: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the role of miR-150-5p in the onset and progression of periodontitis, and reveal the potential molecular mechanism underlying its function and to explore a novel biomarker for periodontitis. BACKGROUND Periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, emphasizing the need for a biomarker to improve its early detection and prevention. The association of miR-150-5p with diseases related to Fuscobacterium nucleatum implies its potential involvement in periodontitis. METHODS The expression of miR-150-5p in the saliva of patients with periodontitis (n = 77) and healthy individuals (n = 43) was assessed by PCR. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were induced with an osteogenic culture medium. The regulatory effect of miR-150-5p on the proliferation and migration of HGFs was assessed by CCK8 and transwell assays. Osteogenic differentiation was estimated based on the expression of corresponding factors through western blotting, and the inflammatory response was evaluated by measuring the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines using ELISA. RESULTS Significant upregulation of miR-150-5p was observed in patients with periodontitis, which sensitively distinguished them and was closely associated with the severity and periodontal index of the condition. In HGFs, osteogenic induction (OI) resulted in increased miR-150-5p levels, which negatively regulated the expression of AIFM2. Silencing miR-150-5p significantly attenuated OI-induced suppression of proliferation and migration of HGFs. The silencing also alleviated inflammation and osteogenic differentiation, which was reversed upon AIFM2 knockdown. CONCLUSION Upregulated miR-150-5p in periodontitis served as a diagnostic biomarker, indicating the occurrence and aggravation of disease condition. Silencing miR-150-5p inhibited the osteogenic differentiation and inflammation of HGFs by negatively modulating AIFM2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of Periplaneta americana extract, a traditional Chinese medicine, on hard palate mucosal wound healing and explore the underlying mechanisms. DESIGN Hard palate mucosal wound model was established and the effects of Periplaneta americana extract on hard palate mucosal wound healing were investigated by stereomicroscopy observation and histological evaluation in vivo. Human oral keratinocytes and human gingival fibroblasts, which play key roles in hard palate mucosal wound healing, were selected as the main research cells in vitro. The effects of Periplaneta americana extract on cell proliferation, migration, and collagen formation were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, Transwell assay, and Van Gieson staining. The underlying mechanism was revealed by RNA sequencing, and results were verified by western blot assay. RESULTS Stereomicroscopy observation and H&E staining confirmed that Periplaneta americana extract accelerated the healing rate of hard palate mucosal wound (p < 0.001) in vivo. Transwell assay and Van Gieson staining assay showed that Periplaneta americana extract promoted the migration and collagen formation of human oral keratinocytes (p < 0.001) and human gingival fibroblasts (p < 0.001) in vitro. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing and western blot assay demonstrated that Periplaneta americana extract promoted hard palate mucosal wound healing via PI3K/AKT signaling, and the beneficial effects of Periplaneta americana extract were abrogated by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSIONS Periplaneta americana extract shows promising effects for the promotion of hard palate mucosal wound healing and may be a novel candidate for clinical translation.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a chronic infection causing periodontal tissue loss, may be effectively addressed with in situ tissue engineering. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) offers exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability but lacks sufficient osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. This study develops and characterizes SIS coated with hydroxyapatite (SIS-HA) and gelatin methacrylate hydroxyapatite (SIS-Gel-HA) using biomineralization and chemical crosslinking. The impact on periodontal tissue regeneration is assessed by evaluating macrophage immune response and osteogenic differentiation potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in vitro and rat periodontal defects in vivo. The jejunum segment, with the highest collagen type I content, is optimal for SIS preparation. SIS retains collagen fiber structure and bioactive factors. Calcium content is 2.21% in SIS-HA and 2.45% in SIS-Gel-HA, with no significant differences in hydrophilicity, physicochemical properties, protein composition, or biocompatibility among SIS, SIS-HA, SIS-Gel, and SIS-Gel-HA. SIS is found to upregulate M2 marker expression, both SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA enhance the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through the BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway, and SIS-HA demonstrates superior in vitro osteogenic activity. In vivo, SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA yield denser, more mature bones with the highest BMP-2 and Smad expression. SIS-HA and SIS-Gel-HA demonstrate enhanced immunity-osteogenesis coupling, representing a promising periodontal tissue regeneration approach.

The protective role of CD73 in periodontitis: preventing hyper-inflammatory fibroblasts and driving osteoclast energy metabolism. FRONTIERS IN ORAL HEALTH 2023; 4:1308657.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontitis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease affecting almost half of the adult population and is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. The role of extracellular nucleotide signaling including nucleotide metabolizing enzyme CD73 adds an important layer of interaction of purine mediators capable of orchestrating inflammatory outcomes. CD73 is able to catabolize 5'-adenosine monophosphate into adenosine at the extracellular level, playing a critical role in regulating many processes under physiological and pathological conditions. Here, we explored the role of CD73 in ligature-induced periodontitis in vivo comparing wild-type C57Bl/6J and CD73-deficient mice. Methods We assessed gingival levels of inflammatory cytokines in vivo and in murine gingival fibroblasts in vitro, as well as bone loss, and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. We have also analyzed CD73 mRNA in samples derived from patients diagnosed with severe periodontitis. Results Our results in mice show that lack of CD73 resulted in increased inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, Cxcl1 and Cxcl2 in diseased gingiva relative to the healthy-controls and in comparison with the wild type. CD73-deficient gingival fibroblasts also manifested a defective healing response with higher MMP-13 levels. CD73-deficient animals also showed increased osteoclastogenesis in vitro with increased mitochondrial metabolism typified by excessive activation of oxidative phosphorylation, increased mitochondrial membrane potential and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide. Micro-CT analysis revealed that lack of CD73 resulted in decreased bone mineral density, decreased trabecular bone volume and thickness as well as decreased bone volume in long bones. CD73 deficiency also resulted in increased alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis. Correlative studies of gingival samples from severe (Grade C) periodontitis showed decreased levels of CD73 compared to healthy controls, further supporting the relevance of our murine results. Conclusion In conclusion, CD73 appears to play a protective role in the gingival periodontal tissue and bone homeostasis, regulating hyper-inflammatory state of stromal fibroblasts and osteoclast energy metabolism and being an important candidate for future target therapies to prevent or control immune-mediated inflammatory and osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the vibration amplitude of mechanical ultrasound waves (27 kHz) on the viability and morphology of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) when cultured on a biomaterial substrate. Method hGFs were seeded on tissue culture plates (TCPs) and an Ti6Al4V titanium alloy surface in two groups for three days and seven days of cell culture. The cells were subjected to three vibration amplitudes for 20 min each day. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were used to characterize cell morphology. Results Experiments showed that hGF cells became detached from their plates at a vibration amplitude comparable to an intensity of 260 mW/cm2. In addition, hGfs that received a vibrational amplitude comparable to an intensity of 50 mW/cm2 underwent significant proliferation proliferated significantly; however, cells receiving higher amplitudes suffered from adverse effects. Conclusions SEM images of hGFs on titanium disks at vibration amplitude comparable to an intensity 50 mW/cm2 showed a remarkable hexagonal architecture, which we refer to as a honeycomb pattern. On day 6 the observed hGFs on TCPs, proliferated at a higher rate and new cells attached uniformly on the existing layer of cells. These data indicate the effect of cellular tissue as a substrate on the growth of new hGFs under low-intensity ultrasound.

Abstract
Besides enhancing osseo- and soft tissue integration, modulating inflammation at the implant site is also crucial for dental implant success. Uncontrolled peri-implant inflammation can cause significant loss of surrounding tissue and implant failure. It was recently shown that microvesicles (MVs), a less-studied type of extracellular vesicles, play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and may modulate angiogenesis and inflammatory response. The effect of MVs on regulating inflammation at an implant site, however, remains unexplored. In the current study, MVs were isolated and characterised from human primary gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and loaded within titania nanotubes (TNTs, fabricated via anodisation on 3D Ti wire implants) towards their local release. The modified implants were characterised using SEM and confocal imaging to confirm the loading and local release of MVs from TNTs. In vitro studies demonstrated the internalisation of hGFs-MVs by human gingival keratinocytes (OKF6/TERT2 cell line), which caused a significant reduction in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The results support MVs-releasing TNTs as a promising implant surface modification strategy to reduce inflammation, paving the way for further advancements in therapeutic dental implants.

Abstract
Considering the complex process of wound healing, it is expected that an optimal wound dressing should be able to overcome the multiple obstacles that can be encountered in the wound healing process. An ideal dressing should be biocompatible, biodegradable and able to maintain moisture, as well as allow the removal of exudate, have antibacterial properties, protect the wound from pathogens and promote wound healing. Starting from this desideratum, we intended to design a multifunctional hydrogel that would present good biocompatibility, the ability to provide a favorable environment for wound healing, antibacterial properties, and also, the capacity to release drugs in a controlled manner. In the preparation of hydrogels, two natural polymers were used, cellulose (C) and chemically modified lignin (LE), which were chemically cross-linked in the presence of epichlorohydrin. The structural and morphological characterization of CLE hydrogels was performed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. In addition, the degree of swelling of CLE hydrogels, the incorporation/release kinetics of procaine hydrochloride (PrHy), and their cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties were investigated. The rheological characterization, mechanical properties and mucoadhesion assessment completed the study of CLE hydrogels. The obtained results show that CLE hydrogels have an increased degree of swelling compared to cellulose-based hydrogel, a better capacity to encapsulate PrHy and to control the release of the drug, as well as antibacterial properties and improved mucoadhesion. All these characteristics highlight that the addition of LE to the cellulose matrix has a positive impact on the properties of CLE hydrogels, confirming that these hydrogels can be considered as potential candidates for applications as oral wound dressings.

Abstract
Fetal skin achieves scarless wound repair. Dermal fibroblasts play a central role in extracellular matrix deposition and scarring outcomes. Both fetal and gingival wound repair share minimal scarring outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that compared to adult skin fibroblasts, human fetal skin fibroblast diversity is unique and partly overlaps with gingival skin fibroblasts. Human fetal skin (FS, n = 3), gingiva (HGG, n = 13), and mature skin (MS, n = 13) were compared at single-cell resolution. Dermal fibroblasts, the most abundant cluster, were examined to establish a connectome with other skin cells. Annexin1-FPR1 signaling pathway was dominant in both FS as well as HGG fibroblasts and related myeloid cells while scanty in MS fibroblasts. Myeloid-specific FPR1-ORF delivered in murine wound edge using tissue nanotransfection (TNT) technology significantly enhanced the quality of healing. Pseudotime analyses identified the co-existence of an HGG fibroblast subset with FPR1high myeloid cells of fetal origin indicating common underlying biological processes.

Abstract
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious complication that develops in oncologic patients treated with Zoledronic acid. Although used for over 30 years, the influence of Zoledronic acid on bone has been thoroughly investigated, mainly on osteoclasts. While decreasing osteoclast differentiation and function, for many years it was thought that Zoledronic acid increased osteoblast differentiation, thus increasing bone volume. Moreover, despite the influence of soft tissue on the bone healing process, the impact of zoledronic acid on the interaction between soft tissue and bone was not investigated. Aim: Our goal was to investigate the influence of Zoledronic Acid and soft tissue cells on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Materials and methods: Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was examined after exposure to Zoledronic Acid. To determine the influence of soft tissue cells on MSCs' osteogenic differentiation, conditioned media from keratinocytes and oral fibroblasts were added to osteogenic medium supplemented with Zoledronic Acid. Proteomic composition of keratinocytes' and fibroblasts' conditioned media were analyzed. Results: Zoledronic Acid decreased osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by seven-fold. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was restored by the supplementation of fibroblasts' conditioned medium to osteogenic medium, despite Zoledronic acid treatment. Five osteogenic proteins involved in the TGFβ pathway were exclusively identified in fibroblasts' conditioned medium, suggesting their role in the rescue effect. Conclusion: Oral fibroblasts secrete proteins that enable osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in the presence of Zoledronic Acid.

Abstract
Adult human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), the most abundant cells in the oral cavity, are essential for maintaining oral homeostasis. Compared with other tissues, adult oral mucosal wounds heal regeneratively, without scarring. Relative to fibroblasts from other locations, HGFs are relatively refractory to myofibroblast differentiation, immunomodulatory, highly regenerative, readily obtained via minimally invasive procedures, easily and rapidly expanded in vitro, and highly responsive to growth factors and cytokines. Consequently, HGFs might be a superior, yet perhaps underappreciated, source of adult mesenchymal progenitor cells to use in tissue engineering and regeneration applications, including the treatment of fibrotic auto-immune connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma. Herein, we highlight in vitro and translational studies that have investigated the regenerative and differentiation potential of HGFs, with the objective of outlining current limitations and inspiring future research that could facilitate translating the regenerative potential of HGFs into the clinic.

Abstract
Although the application of stem cells to chronic wounds emerged as a candidate therapy in the previous century, the mechanism of action remains unclear. Recent evidence has implicated secreted paracrine factors in the regenerative properties of cell-based therapies. In the last two decades, considerable research advances involving the therapeutic potential of stem cell secretomes have expanded the scope of secretome-based therapies beyond stem cell populations. In this study, we review the modes of action of cell secretomes in wound healing, important preconditioning strategies for enhancing their therapeutic efficacy, and clinical trials on secretome-based wound healing.

Abstract
Most human tissue injuries lead to the formation of a fibrous scar and result in the loss of functional tissue. One adult tissue that exhibits a more regenerative response to injury with minimal scarring is the oral mucosa. We generated a microarray gene expression dataset to examine the response to injury in human palate and skin excisional biopsies spanning the first 7 days after wounding. Differential expression analyses were performed in each tissue to identify genes overexpressed or underexpressed over time when compared to baseline unwounded tissue gene expression levels. To attribute biological processes of interest to these gene expression changes, gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify core gene sets that are enriched over the time-course of the wound healing process with respect to unwounded tissue. This analysis identified gene sets uniquely enriched in either palate or skin wounds and gene sets that are enriched in both tissues in at least one time point after injury. Finally, a cell type enrichment analysis was performed to better understand the cell type distribution in these tissues and how it changes over the time course of wound healing. This work provides a source of human wound gene expression data that includes two tissue types with distinct regenerative and scarring phenotypes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of sulforaphane (SFN), a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) pathway activator, on splenic macrophages' immunocompetence after hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (HS/R). Methods : Male C57/BL6 wild-type mice (n = 6 per group) were subjected to either pressure-controlled HS (MAP, 35-45 mm Hg) or a sham procedure surgery (without HS). After 90 minutes of HS, fluid resuscitation with withdrawn blood and 0.9% NaCl was performed. Sulforaphane (50 mg/kg of body weight) was applied intraperitoneally immediately after the resuscitation phase as well as 24 and 48 h thereafter, depending on group allocation. The mice were killed at 6, 24, and 72 h after resuscitation. After killing, spleens were harvested to perform Nrf2 immunofluorescence histology. Splenic macrophages were isolated and cultured to measure cytokine secretion in the cell culture supernatant. Furthermore, macrophages isolated after 24-hour resuscitation were treated with 100 ng/mL of bacterial LPS to measure immunocompetence. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging was performed to verify the distribution of SFN in the spleen after intraperitoneal injection. Results : We showed that administered SFN reached the spleen within the first hour after administration. Furthermore, we identified that SFN increased splenic Nrf2 activation and decreased cytokine expression in splenic macrophages after HS/R. In addition, we showed that SFN exhibited splenic anti-inflammatory properties of macrophages in vitro (IL-6/IL-10-ratio of the HS/R group: 51.79 ± 9.99 [at 6 h] and 15.70 ± 3.35 [at 24 h] vs. HS/R + SFN group: 20.54 ± 5.35 [at 6 h] and 8.60 ± 2.37 [at 24 h], P < 0.05). Furthermore, SFN improved in vitro splenic macrophage immunocompetence after HS/R, as evidenced by the increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines in response to LPS stimulation in vitro . Conclusions : Our study shows that SFN can reduce inflammatory cytokines secreted by splenic macrophages after HS/R and increase their immunocompetence toward a more anti-inflammatory profile.

Emerging Effects of Resveratrol Derivatives in Cells Involved in Oral Wound Healing: A Preliminary Study. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043276.

Abstract
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in finding new approaches to manage oral wound healing. Although resveratrol (RSV) exhibited many biological properties, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, its use as a drug is limited by unfavorable bioavailability. This study aimed to investigate a series of RSV derivatives (1a-j) with better pharmacokinetic profiles. At first, their cytocompatibility at different concentrations was tested on gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Among them, derivatives 1d and 1h significantly increased cell viability compared to the reference compound RSV. Thus, 1d and 1h were investigated for cytotoxicity, proliferation, and gene expression in HGFs, endothelial cells (HUVECs), and oral osteoblasts (HOBs), which are the main cells involved in oral wound healing. For HUVECs and HGFs, the morphology was also evaluated, while for HOBs ALP and mineralization were observed. The results showed that both 1d and 1h did not exert negative effects on cell viability, and at a lower concentration (5 µM) both even significantly enhanced the proliferative rate, compared to RSV. The morphology observations pointed out that the density of HUVECs and HGFs was promoted by 1d and 1h (5 µM) and mineralization was promoted in HOBs. Moreover, 1d and 1h (5 µM) induced a higher eNOS mRNA level in HUVECs, higher COL1 mRNA in HGFs, and higher OCN in HOBs, compared to RSV. The appreciable physicochemical properties and good enzymatic and chemical stability of 1d and 1h, along with their promising biological properties, provide the scientific basis for further studies leading to the development of RSV-based agents useful in oral tissue repair.

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.

Abstract
Significance: Skin inevitably heals with the formation of a fibrotic scar. Patients affected by skin scarring suffer from long-term psychological and physical burdens. Recent Advances: Since the discovery of fetal scarless skin-wound healing, research has hoped to identify and mimic scarless healing for adult skin. Oral mucosa healing in adults provides the closest example to fetal scarless healing. Injuries to the oral mucosa heal with very minimal scarring. Understanding the mechanisms through which this process occurs may bring us closer to achieving scarless healing in adults. Critical Issues: In this review, we summarize the current evidence that illustrates distinct mechanisms involved in oral mucosal healing. We discuss the role of the oral niche in contributing to wound repair. The intrinsic properties of immune cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes within the oral mucosa that support regenerative repair are provided. We highlight the contribution of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokine secretion in permitting a scarless mucosal environment. Furthermore, we discuss the role of stem cell-like progenitor populations in the mucosa that may contribute to wound healing. We also provide suggestions for future studies that are needed to achieve scarless healing in adults. Future Directions: Many characteristics of the oral mucosa have been shown to contribute to decreased scarring, but the specific mechanism(s) is unclear. Advancing our understanding of oral healing may yield therapeutic therapies that can be used to overcome dermal scarring.

Supramolecular Hydrogel-Wrapped Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cutaneous Radiation Injury. Cells 2022; 11:cells11193089. [PMID: 36231051 PMCID: PMC9564043 DOI: 10.3390/cells11193089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Radiation-induced skin wound/dermatitis is one of the common side effects of radiotherapy or interventional radiobiology. Gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) were indicated to have therapeutic potentials in skin diseases. However, stem cells are prone to spread and difficult to stay in the skin for a long time, limiting their curative effects and application. This study investigated the therapeutic efficacy of Nap-GDFDFpDY (pY-Gel) self-assembled peptide hydrogel-encapsulated GMSCs to treat 137Cs γ-radiation-induced skin wounds in mice. The effects were evaluated by skin damage score, hind limb extension measurement and histological and immunohistochemical analysis. In vivo studies showed that pY-Gel self-assembled peptide hydrogel-encapsulated GMSCs could effectively improve wound healing in irradiated skin tissues. In addition, it was found that GMSCs conditioned medium (CM) could promote the proliferation, migration and DNA damage repair ability of skin cells after irradiation in human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT and normal human dermal fibroblasts (HFF). Mechanistically, GMSCs-CM can promote the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), suggesting that activation of the EGFR/STAT3 signaling pathway may be involved in the repair of skin cells after exposure to radiations. In conclusion, pY-Gel self-assembled peptide hydrogel-encapsulated GMSCs have a beneficial therapeutic effect on radiation-induced cutaneous injury and may serve as a basis of novel cells therapeutic approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The gingiva heals at an accelerated rate with reduced scarring when compared to skin. Potential well-studied factors include immune cell number, angiogenesis disparities and fibroblast gene expression. Differential keratinocyte gene expression, however, remains relatively understudied. This study explored the contrasting healing efficiencies of gingival and skin keratinocytes, alongside their differential gene expression patterns. METHODS 3D organotypic culture models of human gingiva and skin were developed using temporarily immortalised primary keratinocytes. Models were wounded for visualisation of re-epithelialisation and analysis of keratinocyte migration to close the wound gap. Concurrently, differentially expressed genes between primary gingival and skin keratinocytes were identified, validated, and functionally assessed. RESULTS Characterisation of the 3D cultures of gingiva and skin showed differentiation markers that recapitulated organisation of the corresponding in vivo tissue. Upon wounding, gingival models displayed a significantly higher efficiency in re-epithelialisation and stratification versus skin, repopulating the wound gap within 24 hours. This difference was likely due to distinct patterns of migration, with gingival cells demonstrating a form of sheet migration, in contrast to skin, where the leading edge was typically 1-2 cells thick. A candidate approach was used to identify several genes that were differentially expressed between gingival and skin keratinocytes. Knockdown of PITX1 resulted in reduced migration capacity of gingival cells. CONCLUSION Gingival keratinocytes retain in vivo superior wound healing capabilities in in vitro 2D and 3D environments. Intrinsic gene expression differences could result in gingival cells being 'primed' for healing and play a role in faster wound resolution. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The successful development of organotypic models, that recapitulate re-epithelialisation, will underpin further studies to analyse the oral response to wound stimuli, and potential therapeutic interventions, in an in vitro environment.

Abstract
There is significant interest in using stem cells in the management of cutaneous wounds. However, potential safety, efficacy, and cost problems associated with whole-cell transplantation hinder their clinical application. Secretome, a collective of mesenchymal stem-cell-stored paracrine factors, and immunomodulatory cytokines offer therapeutic potential as a cell-free therapy for the treatment of cutaneous wounds. This review explores the possibility of secretome as a treatment for cutaneous wounds and tissue regeneration. The review mainly focuses on in vitro and in vivo investigations that use biomaterials and secretome together to treat wounds, extend secretome retention, and control release to preserve their biological function. The approaches employed for the fabrication of biomaterials with condition media or extracellular vesicles are discussed to identify their future clinical application in wound treatment.

Abstract
Aging has been reported to deteriorate the quantity and quality of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which affect their therapeutic use in regenerative medicine. A dearth of age-related stem cell research further restricts their clinical applications. The present study explores the possibility of using MSCs derived from human gingival tissues (GMSCs) for studying their ex vivo growth characteristics and differentiation potential with respect to donor age. GMSCs displayed decreased in vitro adipogenesis and in vitro and in vivo osteogenesis with age, but in vitro neurogenesis remained unaffected. An increased expression of p53 and SIRT1 with donor age was correlated to their ability of eliminating tumorigenic events through apoptosis or autophagy, respectively. Irrespective of donor age, GMSCs displayed effective immunoregulation and regenerative potential in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury. Thus, we suggest the potential of GMSCs for designing cell-based immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches and their further extrapolation for acute inflammatory conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and COVID-19.

Abstract
Despite the fact that classic autograft is the gold standard material for periodontal plastic surgery, it has some drawbacks, including the need for a second surgical site and the scarcity of palatal donor tissue. However, only a few research works on the manufacturing of bioengineered intraoral connective tissue grafts have been conducted. In this work, porous bovine serum albumin methacryloyl/gelatin methacryloyl (BG) biohybrid scaffolds were developed for super-elasticity, shape recovery, suturability for persistent stability, sufficient scaffolding function, and convenient manipulating characteristics to fabricate an intraoral graft substitute with superb stability to resist frequent dynamic forces caused by functional movement (speaking, masticating, and swallowing). Furthermore, in a 3D cell culture assay, BG scaffolds demonstrated excellent cell adhesion and proliferation of L929 cells. In addition, the BG scaffolds were able to release Ibuprofen in a controlled manner for postoperative recovery. The use of a low-cost, optimized cryogelation technique for functional biomacromolecules offers up new possibilities to develop promising scaffolds for dental clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cocultures of human gingival fibrobasts (hGF) and endothelial cells could enhance regeneration and repair models as well as improve vascularization limitations in tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to assess if hGF could support formation of stable vessel-like networks. METHODS Explant primary hGF were isolated from gum surgical wastes collected from healthy patients with no history of periodontitis. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cocultured in vitro with hGF at a cell ratio of 1:1 and medium of 1:1 of their respective media during at least 31 days. Vessel quantification of HUVEC networks was performed. In order to investigate the pericyte-like properties of hGF, the expression of perivascular markers α-SMA, NG2, CD146 and PDGFR-β was studied using immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry on 2D cultures. RESULTS hGF were able to support a long-lasting HUVEC network at least 31 days, even in the absence of a bioreactor with flow. As observed, HUVEC started to communicate with each other from day 7, constructing a network. Their interconnection increased significantly between day 2 and day 21 and lasted beyond the 31 days of observation. Moreover, we tried to explain the stability of the networks obtained and showed that a small population of hGF in close vicinity of HUVEC networks expressed perivascular markers. CONCLUSION These findings highlight a new interesting property concerning hGF, accentuating their relevance in tissue engineering and periodontal regeneration. These promising results need to be confirmed using more 3D applications and in vivo testing.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (HS/R) is closely associated with overwhelming oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. As an effective activator of the nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway, sulforaphane (SFN) exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. We explored SFN's effects on alveolar macrophages (AMs), systemic inflammation, and pulmonary damage in an isolated murine HS/R model. Male C57/BL6 wild type and transgenic antioxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase (luc) mice (both n = 6 per group) were exposed to either pressure-controlled HS/R (mean arterial pressure 35-45 mm Hg for 90 min) or sham procedure (surgery without HS/R) or were sacrificed without intervention (control group). Fluid resuscitation was performed via the reinfusion of withdrawn blood and 0.9% saline. Sulforaphane or 0.9% saline (vehicle) was administrated intraperitoneally. Mice were sacrificed 6, 24, or 72 h after resuscitation. Bioluminescence imaging of ARE-luc mice was conducted to measure pulmonary Nrf2 activity. Plasma was collected to determine systemic cytokine levels. Alveolar macrophages were isolated before measuring cytokines in the supernatant and performing immunofluorescence staining, as well as Western blot for intracellular Nrf2. Histological damage was assessed via the acute lung injury score and wet/dry ratio.Hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation was associated with pulmonary Nrf2 activation. Sulforaphane enhanced pulmonary Nrf2 activity and the Nrf2 activation of AM, while it decreased lung damage. Sulforaphane exerted down-regulatory effects on AM-generated and systemic pro-inflammatory mediators, while it did not have such effects on IL-10.In conclusion, SFN beneficially enhances pulmonary Nrf2 activity and promotes Nrf2 accumulation in AMs' nuclei. This may exert not only local protective effects but also systemic effects via the down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The administration of Nrf2 activator post-HS/R may represent an innovative treatment strategy.

Abstract
Salvadora persica L. (S. persica, Siwak) is an ethnic plant that is widely used for improving oral hygiene. This study aimed to provide a phytochemical profiling of S. persica ethyl acetate fraction (SPEAF) and to evaluate the healing activity of a muco-adhesive formula of the fraction against acetic acid-induced oral ulcers in rats. HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS-MS analysis of SPEAF resulted in the tentative identification of 56 metabolites containing fatty acids (23%), urea derivatives (10.5%) and sulphur compounds (10%), in addition to several amides, polyphenols and organic acids (6.5%, 5% and 2%, respectively). For the first time, 19 compounds were identified from S. persica. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that the extract is non-toxic. SPEAF exhibited superior healing activities compared to both the negative and positive control groups on days 7 and 14 of tongue ulcer induction. This was confirmed by histopathological examinations of haematoxylin and eosin-stained (H&E) and Masson's trichrome-stained tongue sections. Moreover, SPEAF showed potent anti-inflammatory activities, as evidenced by the inhibited expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis alpha (TNF-α). Moreover, SPEAF exhibited potent antioxidant activity, as it prevented malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation, reduced glutathione (GSH) depletion and superoxide dismutase (SOD) exhaustion. SPEAF significantly enhanced hydroxyproline tongue content and upregulated collagen type I alpha 1 (Col1A1) mRNA expression. SPEAF also improved angiogenesis, as shown by the increased mRNA expression of the angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1). In conclusion, S. persica has a wide range of secondary metabolites and ameliorates acetic acid-induced tongue ulcers in rats. This can be attributed, at least partly, to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, procollagen and angiogenic activities. These findings provide support and validity for the use of S. persica as a traditional and conventional treatment for oral disorders.

Abstract
There is significant interest in understanding the cellular mechanisms responsible for expedited healing response in various oral tissues and how they are impacted by systemic diseases. Depending upon the types of oral tissue, wound healing may occur by predominantly re-eptihelialization, by re-epithelialization with substantial new connective tissue formation, or by a a combination of both plus new bone formation. As a result, the cells involved differ and are impacted by systemic diaseses in various ways. Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic disorder that impairs barrier function and healing responses throughout the human body. In the oral cavity, diabetes is a known risk factor for exacerbated periodontal disease and delayed wound healing, which includes both soft and hard tissue components. Here, we review the mechanisms of diabetic oral wound healing, particularly on impaired keratinocyte proliferation and migration, altered level of inflammation, and reduced formation of new connective tissue and bone. In particular, diabetes inhibits the expression of mitogenic growth factors whereas that of pro-inflammatory cytokines is elevated through epigenetic mechanisms. Moreover, hyperglycemia and oxidative stress induced by diabetes prevents the expansion of mesengenic cells that are involved in both soft and hard tissue oral wounds. A better understanding of how diabetes influences the healing processes is crucial for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-associated oral complications.

Abstract
Soft tissue reconstruction has remained a major clinical challenge in dentistry and regenerative medicine. Although current methods have shown partial success, there are several disadvantages associated with these approaches. Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) can be simply obtained in the oral cavity for soft tissue augmentation. Regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) encapsulated in hydrogels is well documented. Here, an alginate-gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel formulation is developed encapsulating GMSCs within the developed hydrogel. The results confirm that the encapsulated MSCs remain viable within the hydrogel with enhanced collagen deposition. An excisional wound model in mice is utilized to evaluate the in vivo functionality of the GMSC-hydrogel construct for wound healing and soft tissue regeneration. The histology and immunofluorescence analyses confirm the effectiveness of the GMSC-hydrogel in expediting wound healing via enhancing angiogenesis and suppressing local proinflammatory cytokines. Altogether, the findings demonstrate that GMSCs encapsulated in an engineered hydrogel sheet based on alginate and GelMA can be used to expedite wound healing and soft tissue regeneration, with potential applications in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as dentistry.

Electrospun meshes of poly (n-butyl cyanoacrylate) and their potential applications for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Int J Pharm 2021; 606:120735. [PMID: 34048930 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.120735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the present work was to develop novel meshes of poly (n-butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) nanofibers for potential applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering taking into account the successful application of PBCA in other medical uses. Electrospinning was applied to solutions of PBCA, 103 and 106 Da. 5-fluorouracil was chosen as model drug for the delivery study because of its effectiveness against cancer, while human gingival fibroblasts (HFIB-G) to confirm the biocompatibility of drug-free PBCA meshes and their potential for tissue engineering. PBCA was able to be electrospun in a wide range of molecular weights, producing fibers free of defects with diameters between 380 nm and 6 μm. Meshes of PBCA (105-106 Da) showed high flexibility with Younǵs modulus and maximal tension values in the range of 0.3-1.6 MPa and 0.03-0.13 MPa respectively. Results from the drug delivery study suggested that 5-fluorouracil was homogeneously loaded into PBCA meshes. Its release was extremely slow, initially 20% in 7 days and the rest gradually (until 96 days) in physiological medium at 37 °C. HFIB-G were well attached and proliferated over PBCA nanofibers during 23 days. Results suggested that PBCA meshes serve as excellent frameworks for cell adhesion/proliferation, and for drug delivery extended periods.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a major public health issue, and various periodontal therapies have been performed to regenerate periodontal tissues. The periodontium is a complex structure composed of specialized tissues that support the teeth, and most periodontal surgeries are invasive procedures, including a resection of the gingiva or the alveolar bone. The periodontal wound healing process is slightly different from cutaneous wound healing and is similar to fetal healing, being almost scar-free. The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of periodontal wound healing and discuss various surgical and pharmaceutical approaches to achieve stable wound healing and improve the treatment outcomes. In addition, detrimental and limiting factors that induce a compromised prognosis are discussed, along with the perspective and future direction for successful periodontal tissue regeneration.

Treatment of murine partial thickness scald injuries with multipotent adult progenitor cells decreases inflammation and promotes angiogenesis leading to improved burn injury repair. Wound Repair Regen 2021; 29:380-392. [PMID: 33655577 DOI: 10.1111/wrr.12906] [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: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Stem cells have been shown to have potential as a new therapy for burns and promote wound healing through decreasing inflammation and increasing angiogenesis. Multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC® cells) are a subpopulation of bone marrow-derived stem cells with outstanding self-renewal and differentiation capacity. MAPC cells also secrete a wide range of cytokines which can affect cellular activities. This article aimed to examine the effects of MAPC cells treatment on burn injury repair using a mouse model of partial thickness burn injury. The immunomodulatory effect of MAPC cells was investigated in vitro using a simultaneous T-cell proliferation assay. Partial thickness burns were created on the dorsal surface of mice and MAPC cells were administered via intradermal injection to the wound margins 24 h post-burn injury. The burn tissues were analysed macroscopically to determine wound area and histologically assessed to determine wound width and rate of re-epithelialisation. Immunohistochemistry and ELISA were employed to assess cell proliferation, inflammation and angiogenesis and collagen deposition in the burn area. MAPC cells inhibit the proliferation of stimulated T cells in culture. Burns intradermally injected with MAPC cells showed a significant reduction in the macroscopic wound area, histologic wound width and had an increased rate of re-epithelialisation. Immunohistochemistry and ELISA analysis of burn tissues showed dampened inflammation evidenced by a reduction in neutrophilic infiltration and modulation of inflammatory cytokines. Angiogenesis within the burn area was also improved in MAPC cell treated mice. However, no significant effect of MAPC cell treatment was observed on extracellular matrix production. Treatment of burns with MAPC cells improved burn injury repair with reduced time to healing, decreased inflammation and increased angiogenesis. These findings demonstrate the promising effects of MAPC cells on burn injury repair and suggest MAPC cells as a candidate source for clinical cell therapies.
