Abstract
Reconstruction of injured bone remains challenging in the clinic owing to the lack of suitable bone grafts. The utilization of PAI-1 transfected-conditioned media (P-CM) has demonstrated its ability to facilitate the differentiation process of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), potentially serving as a crucial mediator in tissue regeneration. This research endeavored to explore the therapeutic potential of P-CM concerning the differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). To assess new bone formation, a rat calvaria critical defect model was employed, while in vitro experiments involved the use of the alizarin Red-S mineral induction test. In the rat calvaria critical defect model, P-CM treatment resulted in significan new bone formation. In vitro, P-CM treated hBMSCs displayed robust osteogenesis compared to the control group, as demonstrated by the mineral induction test using alizarin Red-S. P-CM with hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate/fibrin gel treatment significantly exhibited new bone formation, and the expression of osteogenic associated markers was enhanced in the P-CM-treated group. In conclusion, results demonstrate that P-CM treatment significantly enhanced the osteogenic differantiation efficiency and new bone formation, thus could be used as an ideal therapeutic biomolecule for constructing bone-specific implants, especially for orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Genetically engineered stem cells, not only acting as vector delivering growth factors or cytokines but also exhibiting improved cell properties, are promising cells for periodontal tissue regeneration. Sema3A is a power secretory osteoprotective factor. In this study, we aimed to construct Sema3A modified periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and evaluated their osteogenic capability and crosstalk with pre-osteoblasts MC3T3-E1. First, Sema3A modified PDLSCs was constructed using lentivirus infection system carrying Sema3A gene and the transduction efficiency was analyzed. The osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of Sema3A-PDLSCs was evaluated. Then, MC3T3-E1 was directly co-cultured with Sema3A-PDLSCs or cultured in condition medium of Sema3A-PDLSCs and the osteogenic ability of MC3T3-E1 was assessed. The results showed that Sema3A-PDLSCs expressed and secreted upregulated Sema3A protein, which confirmed successful construction of Sema3A modified PDLSCs. After osteogenic induction, Sema3A-PDLSCs expressed upregulated ALP, OCN, RUNX2, and SP7 mRNA, expressed higher ALP activity, and produced more mineralization nodes, compared with Vector-PDLSCs. Whereas, there was no obvious differences in proliferation between Sema3A-PDLSCs and Vector-PDLSCs. MC3T3-E1 expressed upregulated mRNA of ALP, OCN, RUNX2, and SP7 when directly co-cultured with Sema3A-PDLSCs than Vector-PDLSCs. MC3T3-E1 also expressed upregulated osteogenic markers, showed higher ALP activity, and produced more mineralization nodes when cultured using condition medium of Sema3A-PDLSCs instead of Vector-PDLSCs. In conclusion, our results indicated that Sema3A modified PDLSCs showed enhanced osteogenic capability, and also facilitated differentiation of pre-osteoblasts.

Decorin Promotes Osteoblastic Differentiation of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27238224. [PMID: 36500314 PMCID: PMC9739490 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27238224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the biological functions of decorin (DCN) in the healing and regeneration of wounded periodontal tissue. We investigated the expression pattern of DCN during the healing of wounded periodontal tissue in rats by immunohistochemistry and the effects of DCN on the osteoblastic differentiation of human periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (HPDLSCs) and preosteoblasts by Alizarin red S staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions, and western blotting. The expression of DCN was increased around the wounded PDL tissue on day 5 after surgery compared with the nonwounded PDL tissue, whereas its expression was not changed in the osteoblastic layer around the wounded alveolar bone. Furthermore, DCN promoted the osteoblastic differentiation of HPDLSCs, but it did not affect the osteoblastic differentiation of preosteoblasts. ERK1/2 phosphorylation was upregulated during the DCN-induced osteoblastic differentiation of HPDLSCs. DCN did not affect proliferation, migration, or the PDL-related gene expression of HPDLSCs. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that DCN has a role in the healing of wounded periodontal tissue. Furthermore, DCN secreted from PDL cells may contribute to bone healing by upregulating osteoblastic differentiation through ERK1/2 signaling in HPDLSCs, indicating a therapeutic effect of DCN in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Embedded Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells Spheroids Enhance Cementogenic Differentiation via Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042340. [PMID: 35216454 PMCID: PMC8878532 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23042340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Spheroids reproduce the tissue structure that is found in vivo more accurately than classic two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures. We cultured human periodontal ligament stem cells (HPLSCs) as spheroids that were embedded in collagen gel to examine whether their cementogenic differentiation could be enhanced by treatment with recombinant human plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (rhPAI-1). The upregulated expression of cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) and cementum attachment protein (CAP), established cementoblast markers, was observed in the 2D monolayer HPLSCs that were treated with rhPAI-1 for 3 weeks compared with that in the control and osteogenic-induction medium groups. In the embedded HPLSC spheroids, rhPAI-1 treatment induced interplay between the spheroids and collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM), indicating that disaggregated HPLSCs migrated and spread into the surrounding ECM 72 h after three-dimensional (3D) culture. Western blot and immunocytochemistry analyses showed that the CEMP1 expression levels were significantly upregulated in the rhPAI-1-treated embedded HPLSC spheroids compared with all the 2D monolayer HPLSCs groups and the 3D spheroid groups. Therefore, 3D collagen-embedded spheroid culture in combination with rhPAI-1 treatment may be useful for facilitating cementogenic differentiation of HPLSCs.

Abstract
Expansion in vitro prior to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) application is a necessary process. Functional and genomic stability has a crucial role in stem-cell-based therapies. However, the exact expression and co-expressed profiles of coding and non-coding RNAs in human bone marrow (BM)-MSCs in vitro aging are still lacking. In the present studies, the change of morphology, immunophenotype, and capacity of proliferation, differentiation, and immunoregulation of MSCs at passage (P) 4, P6, P8, P10, and P12 were investigated. RNA sequencing identified that 439 mRNAs, 65 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), 59 microRNAs (miRNAs), and 229 circular RNAs (circRNAs) were differentially expressed (DE) in P12 compared with P4, with a similar trend in P6. Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified several significant biological processes and pathways, including binding, ossification, and Wnt and PPAR signaling pathways. Interaction and co-expression/localization analyses were performed for DE mRNAs and lncRNAs, and several key lncRNAs, circRNAs, and important pathways like autophagy and mitophagy were identified in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Some key RNAs found in the bioinformatics analysis were validated. Our studies indicate that replicative senescence of MSCs is a continuous process, including widespread alterations in biological characteristics and global gene expression patterns that need to be considered before therapeutic applications of MSCs.

Abstract
3D bioprinted hydrogel has gained enormous attention, especially in tissue engineering, owing to its attractive structure and excellent biocompatibility. In this study, we demonstrated that 3D bioprinted cell-laden 'thermoresponsive' poloxamer-407 (P407) gels have the potential to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of apical papilla stem cells (SCAPs) under the influence of low voltage-frequency (5 V-1 Hz, 0.62 mT) electromagnetic fields (EMFs). SCAPs were initially used for cell-laden 3D printing to biomimic the apical papilla of human teeth. The developed hydrogel exhibited higher mechanical strength as well as good printability, showing high-quality micro-architecture. Moreover, the as-printed hydrogels (5 mm × 5 mm) were loaded with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) for testing the combined effect of PAI-1 and EMFs on SCAP differentiation. Interestingly, the 3D hydrogels showed improved viability and differentiation of SCAPs under EMFs' influence as examined by live/dead assay and alizarin Red-S staining, respectively. Therefore, our results confirmed that P407 hydrogels are non-toxic for encapsulation of SCAPs, yielding high cell viability and accelerate the cell migration potential. The 3D hydrogels with PAI-1 exhibited high mRNA expression levels for osteogenic/odontogenic gene markers (ALP, Col-1, DSPP, and DMP-1) vis-à-vis control after 14 days of in vitro culture. Our findings suggest that 3D bioprinted P407 hydrogels are biocompatible for SCAP encapsulation, and the applied low voltage-frequency EMFs could effectively improve dental tissue regeneration, particularly for oral applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of a novel volume-stable collagen matrix (vCM) on early wound healing events including cellular migration and adhesion, protein adsorption and release, and the dynamics of the hemostatic system. For this purpose, we utilized transwell migration and crystal violet adhesion assays, ELISAs for quantification of adsorbed and released from the matrix growth factors, and qRT-PCR for quantification of gene expression in cells grown on the matrix. Our results demonstrated that primary human oral fibroblasts, periodontal ligament, and endothelial cells exhibited increased migration toward vCM compared to control cells that migrated in the absence of the matrix. Cellular adhesive properties on vCM were significantly increased compared to controls. Growth factors TGF-β1, PDGF-BB, FGF-2, and GDF-5 were adsorbed on vCM with great efficiency and continuously delivered in the medium after an initial burst release within hours. We observed statistically significant upregulation of genes encoding the antifibrinolytic thrombomodulin, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, thrombospondin 1, and thromboplastin, as well as strong downregulation of genes encoding the profibrinolytic tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, its receptor, and the matrix metalloproteinase 14 in cells grown on vCM. As a general trend, the stimulatory effect of the vCM on the expression of antifibrinolytic genes was synergistically enhanced by TGF-β1, PDGF-BB, or FGF-2, whereas the strong inhibitory effect of the vCM on the expression of profibrinolytic genes was reversed by PDGF-BB, FGF-2, or GDF-5. Taken together, our data strongly support the effect of the novel vCM on fibrin clot stabilization and coagulation/fibrinolysis equilibrium, thus facilitating progression to the next stages of the soft tissue healing process.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is the most common chronic disease of the oral and maxillofacial region, causing alveolar bone loss and ultimate loss of tooth. The purpose of treatment of periodontal disease is to promote the regeneration of periodontal tissue, including alveolar bone, and implantation of fixtures to replace the missing tooth as a result of advanced periodontal disease also requires alveolar bone regeneration. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur compound with well-known anti-inflammatory effects but its effects on bone regeneration are unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of MSM on osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs (hPDLSCs) in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that MSM not only promotes the proliferation but also promotes osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. MSM increased the expression levels of osteogenic specific markers that ALP, OPN, OCN, Runx2, and OSX. Smad2/3 signaling pathway was reinforced by MSM. Runx2, which downstream of Smad pathway, was expressed in accordance. Consistent with in vitro results, in vivo calvarial defect model and transplantation model revealed that MSM induces hPDLSCs to differentiate into osteoblast, which express ALP, OPN and OCN highly and enhance bone formation. These results suggest that MSM promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone formation of hPDLSCs, and Smad2/3 / Runx2 / OSX / OPN may play critical roles in the MSM-induced osteogenic differentiation. Thus, MSM combined with hPDLSCs may be a good candidate for future clinical applications in alveolar bone regeneration and can be used for graft material in reconstructive dentistry.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY In vitro evaluation of the effects of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) transfected-conditioned media (P-CM) on the differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and human periapical follicular stem cells (hPAFSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs received from impacted third molars were treated with P-CM and viability, as well as differentiation of the cells were evaluated. Plasmids were constructed according to standard techniques, and all sequences were validated by proper enzyme digestion and sequencing. Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-hPAI-1 plasmid to obtain P-CM, followed by western blotting and PAI-1-specific ELISA kit to evaluate the proteins of P-CM. The cell viability of hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs were analyzed using MTT assay after 48 h of incubation. Alizarin red S staining was performed to evaluate the differentiation of hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to observe the expression levels of osteogenic/cementogenic marker genes. The human cytokine antibody array was applied for further analysis of cytokine expression in P-CM. RESULTS P-CM significantly promoted the differentiation of hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs and upregulated the expression of osteogenic/cementogenic marker genes in vitro. Furthermore, rhPAI-1 promoted mineralized nodules formation of hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs, and we identified that other proteins, RANTES and IL-6, were highly expressed in P-CM. CONCLUSIONS P-CM promoted the differentiation of hPDLSCs and hPAFSCs by upregulating the expression of RANTES and IL-6, and interaction between PAI-1 and RANTES/IL-6 signaling may be involved in P-CM-induced osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Periodontium is consisted of root cementum, bone lining the tooth socket, gingiva facing the tooth, and periodontal ligament (PDL). Its primary functions are support of the tooth and protection of tooth, nerve, and blood vessels from injury by mechanical loading. Severe periodontitis induces the destruction of periodontium and results in a significant cause of tooth loss among adults. Unfortunately, conventional therapies such as scaling and root planning are often only palliative. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the treatment for periodontitis is to restore disrupted periodontium to its original shape and function. Tissue engineering refers to the process of combining cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules for the production of functional tissues to restore, maintain, and improve damaged organs. The discovery of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) highlighted the possibility for development of tissue engineering technology-based therapeutics for disrupted periodontium. PDLSCs are a kind of somatic stem cells that show potential to differentiate into multiple cell types and undergo robust clonal self-renewal. Therefore, PDLSCs are considered a highly promising stem cell population for regenerative therapy in periodontium; however, their rarity prevents the progression of basic and clinical researches. In this review, we summarize recent research advancement and accumulated information regarding the self-renewal capacity, multipotency, and immunomodulatory effect of PDLSCs, as well as their contribution to repair and regeneration of periodontium and other tissues. We also discuss the possibility of PDLSCs for clinical application of regenerative medicine and provide an outline of the genetic approaches to overcome the issue about the rarity of PDLSCs.

Platelet-rich fibrin is recently considered as a successful alternative but leukocytes present limits to its allogeneic feasibility. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of allogeneic fibrin clot (AFC) without leukocytes on inducing odontogenic/cementogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS AFC was prepared by high-speed centrifugation and leukocytes were almost removed, and AFC serum was obtained through three freeze-thaw cycles. hDPSCs and hPDLSCs were treated with AFC serum to investigate the odontogenic or cementogenic associated markers by real-time polymerase chain reaction. hDPSCs were treated with AFC serum and placed inside of dentin canal, hPDLSCs were treated with AFC serum to wrap outside of dentin, the mixture was then transplanted into the subcutaneous of nude mice for 12 weeks. RESULTS AFC serum exhibited enough growth factors and cytokines to induce odontogenic/cementogenic differentiation of hDPSCs and hPDLSCs in vitro. Furthermore, AFC seurum could induce hDPSCs to differentiate into odontoblasts-like cells and pulp-like tissues, and hPDLSCs to regenerate cementum-like tissues. CONCLUSION AFC could be an alternative safe source with growth factors for the expansion of human dental mesenchymal stem cells (hDMSCs).

Effects of transforming growth factor-β1 on plasminogen activation in stem cells from the apical papilla: role of activating receptor-like kinase 5/Smad2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling. Int Endod J 2020; 53:647-659. [PMID: 31955434 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
AIM To study the effects of TGF-β1 on the plasminogen activation (PA) system of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) and its signalling. METHODOLOGY SCAP cells were isolated from the apical papilla of immature permanent teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons. They were exposed to various concentration of TGF-β1 with/without pretreatment and coincubation by SB431542 (ALK/Smad2/3 inhibitor), or U0126 (MEK/ERK inhibitor). MTT assay, Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect their effects on cell viability, and the protein expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), uPA receptor (uPAR) and their secretion. The paired Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS TGF-β1 significantly stimulated PAI-1 and soluble uPAR (suPAR) secretion of SCAP cells (P < 0.05), whereas uPA secretion was inhibited. Accordingly, TGF-β1 induced both PAI-1 and uPAR protein expression of SCAP cells. SB431542 (an ALK5/Smad2/3 inhibitor) pretreatment and coincubation prevented the TGF-β1-induced PAI-1 and uPAR of SCAP. U0126 attenuated the TGF-β1-induced expression/secretion of uPAR, but not PAI-1 in SCAP. SB431542 reversed the TGF-β1-induced decline of uPA. CONCLUSIONS TGF-β1 may affect the repair/regeneration activities of SCAP via differential increase or decrease of PAI-1, uPA and uPAR. These effects induced by TGF-β1 are associated with ALK5/Smad2/3 and MEK/ERK activation. Elucidation the signalling pathways and effects of TGF-β1 is useful for treatment of immature teeth with open apex by revascularization/revitalization procedures and tissue repair/regeneration.

Abstract
Amelogenin isoforms, including full-length amelogenin (AMEL) and leucine-rich amelogenin peptide (LRAP), are major components of the enamel matrix, and are considered as signaling molecules in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions regulating tooth development and periodontal regeneration. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to identify novel binding partners for amelogenin isoforms in the cementoblast (OCCM-30), using an affinity purification assay (GST pull-down) followed by mass spectrometry and immunoblotting. Protein-protein interaction analysis for AMEL and LRAP evidenced the plasminogen activation system (PAS) as a potential player regulating OCCM-30 response to amelogenin isoforms. For functional assays, PAS was either activated (plasmin) or inhibited (ε-aminocaproic acid [aminocaproic]) in OCCM-30 cells and the cell morphology, mineral nodule formation, and gene expression were assessed. PAS inhibition (EACA 100 mM) dramatically decreased mineral nodule formation and expression of OCCM-30 differentiation markers, including osteocalcin (Bglap), bone sialoprotein (Ibsp), osteopontin (Spp1), tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (Alpl) and collagen type I (Col1a1), and had no effect on runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix (Osx) mRNA levels. PAS activation (plasmin 5 µg/µl) significantly increased Col1a1 and decreased Bglap mRNA levels (p < .05). Together, our findings shed new light on the potential role of plasminogen signaling pathway in the control of the amelogenin isoform-mediated response in cementoblasts and provide new insights into the development of targeted therapies.

Abstract
Progranulin (PGRN) has been proved to play a crucial role in anti-inflammation and osteogenesis promotion; thus, it was hypothesized that PGRN could promote bone regeneration in periodontal disease. In this experiment, the periodontal bone defects were established in periodontitis rats; recombinant human progranulin (rhPGRN), tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitor (anti-TNF-α), or phosphate buffer saline (PBS)-loaded collagen membrane scaffolds were implanted within defects and the rats were sacrificed at scheduled time points. Volume of new bone was assessed by radiological and histomorphometric analyses. Expression of osteogenesis-related markers and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was also performed to determine the number of osteoclasts. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was performed to explore the interaction between rhPGRN and tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs). The results showed that the rhPGRN group had significantly superior quantity and quality of newly formed bone, higher expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and TNFR2 compared with the PBS group and the anti-TNF-α group. Similarly to the anti-TNF-α group, the rhPGRN group also exhibited the significant inhibitory effect on the expression of TNF-α and the number of TRAP-positive cells compared with the PBS group. Hence, our experiment suggests that PGRN promotes regeneration of inflammatory periodontal bone defect in rats via anti-inflammation, osteoclastogenic inhibition, and osteogenic promotion. Local administration of PGRN may provide a new therapeutic strategy for periodontal bone regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of somatic stem cells that exert a potential to differentiate into multiple cell types and undergo robust clonal self-renewal; therefore, they are considered as a highly promising stem cell population for tissue engineering. MSCs are identified in various adult organs including dental tissues. Periodontal ligament (PDL) is a highly specialized connective tissue that surrounds the tooth root. PDL also contains MSC population, and many researchers have isolated them and performed their detailed characterization. Here, we review the current understanding of the features and functions of MSC population in PDL tissues and discuss their possibility for the application of PDL regeneration.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the effects of patterned human periodontal ligament stem cell (hPDLSC) sheets fabricated using a thermoresponsive substratum. Methods In this study, we fabricated patterned hPDLSC sheets using nanotopographical cues to modulate the alignment of the cell sheet. Results The hPDLSCs showed rapid monolayer formation on various surface pattern widths. Compared to cell sheets grown on flat surfaces, there were no significant differences in cell attachment and growth on the nanopatterned substratum. However, the patterned hPDLSC sheets showed higher periodontal ligamentogenesis-related gene expression in early stages than the unpatterned cell sheets. Conclusions This experiment confirmed that patterned cell sheets provide flexibility in designing hPDLSC sheets, and that these stem cell sheets may be candidates for application in periodontal regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme that is crucial in fibrinolysis. In oral tissues, the plasminogen system plays an essential role in physiological and pathological processes, which in addition to fibrinolysis include degradation of extracellular matrix, inflammation, immune response, angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, cell migration, and wound healing. Oral tissues reveal a change in the plasminogen system during pathological processes such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, or pulpitis, as well as in response to mechanical load. The plasminogen system is also a key element in tissue regeneration. The number of studies investigating the plasminogen system in dentistry have grown continuously in recent years, highlighting its increasing relevance in dental medicine. In this review, we present the diverse functions of the plasminogen system in physiology and its importance for dental specialists in pathology and regeneration. We thus provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of the plasminogen system in the different fields of dentistry, including endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery.

Abstract
Although sonic hedgehog (SHH), an essential molecule in embryogenesis and organogenesis, stimulates proliferation of human periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells, the effects of recombinant human SHH (rh-SHH) on osteoblastic differentiation are unclear. To reveal the role of SHH in periodontal regeneration, expression of SHH in mouse periodontal tissues and its effects on the osteoblastic/cementoblastic differentiation in human cementoblasts were investigated. SHH is immunolocalized to differentiating cementoblasts, PDL cells, and osteoblasts of the developing mouse periodontium. Addition of rh-SHH increased cell growth, ALP activity, and mineralization nodule formation, and upregulated mRNA expression of osteoblastic and cementoblastic markers. The osteoblastic/cementoblastic differentiation of rh-SHH was abolished by the SHH inhibitor cyclopamine (Cy) and the BMP antagonist noggin. rh-SHH increased the expression of BMP-2 and -4 mRNA, as well as levels of phosphorylated Akt, ERK, p38, and JNK, and of MAPK and NF-κB activation, which were reversed by noggin, Cy, and BMP-2 siRNA. Collectively, this study is the first to demonstrate that SHH can promote cell growth and cell osteoblastic/cementoblastic differentiation via BMP pathway. Thus, SHH plays important roles in the development of periodontal tissue, and might represent a new therapeutic target for periodontitis and periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Dental caries, the most prevalent oral disease in dental patients, involves the phases of demineralization and destruction of tooth hard tissues like enamel, dentin, and cementum. Dentin is a major component of the root and is also the innermost layer that protects the tooth nerve, exposure of which results in pain. In this study, we used human stem cells from apical papilla (hSCAP), which are early progenitor cells, to examine the effects of recombinant human plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (rhPAI-1) on odontogenic differentiation in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that rhPAI-1 promoted the proliferation and odontogenic differentiation of hSCAP and increased the expression levels of odontoblast-associated markers. We also observed that rhPAI-1 upregulated the expression of Smad4, nuclear factor I-C (NFI-C), Runx2, and osterix (OSX) during odontogenic differentiation. Notably, transplantation of rhPAI-1-treated hSCAP effectively induced odontoblastic differentiation and dentinal formation. And the differentiated odontoblast-like cells showed numerous odontoblast processes inserted in dentin tubules and arranged collagen fibers. Furthermore, odontoblast-associated markers were more highly expressed in the rhPAI-1-induced differentiated odontoblast-like cells compared with the control group. These markers were also more highly expressed in the newly formed dentin-like tissue of the rhPAI-1-treated group compared with the control group. Consistent with our in vitro results, the expression levels of Smad4, NFI-C, and OSX were also increased in the rhPAI-1-treated group compared with the control group. Taken together, these results suggest that rhPAI-1 promotes odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation of hSCAP, and Smad4/NFI-C/OSX may play critical roles in the rhPAI-1-induced odontogenic differentiation. Thus, dental stem cells from apical papilla combined with rhPAI-1 could lead to dentin regeneration in clinical implications.
