Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the ability of BIO-C Repair (BC) and Biodentine (BD) in relation to odontogenic differentiation by evaluating the dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) expression and mineral deposition of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS BC and BD were pulverized and sterilized (ISO 10993-5:2009). The hDPSCs were the result of primary cultures that were 80% confluent (having gone through the stem cell marker tests CD90 98%, CD105 99.7%, CD73 94%, and LinNeg 0.5%) and reached P2-3 by means of serum starvation for 24 hours. This study involved seven groups, in which the hDPSCs were cultured on osteogenic media with the addition of either BD (Septodont, United States) at concentrations of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:5; BC (Angelus, Brazil) at concentrations of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:5; or the negative control (Dulbecco's modified eagle medium + osteogenic media). The hDPSC differentiation was determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of DSPP and BSP expression performed on days 7 and 14 and alizarin red staining performed on day 21. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance, followed by Tamhane's post hoc test, to compare the differences between groups. The t-test dependent was also used to identify differences between groups. RESULTS BC and BD at 1:1 concentration, there was a statistically significant difference in DSPP and BSP expression. However, at concentrations of 1:2 and 1:5, there was no significant difference observed in either duration of observation (p > 0.05). The highest DSPP and BSP concentrations after 7 and 14 days of observation were observed with BD and BC at 1:5 concentration (6.6-6.71 and 13.20-13.47 ng/mL). CONCLUSION The study shows that BC is as effective as BD in enhancing DSPP and BSP expression and mineral deposition in hDPSCs. The 1:5 concentration of BC showed the highest levels of DSPP and BSP expression and mineral deposition.

Abstract
Bone, a fundamental constituent of the human body, is a vital scaffold for support, protection, and locomotion, underscoring its pivotal role in maintaining skeletal integrity and overall functionality. However, factors such as trauma, disease, or aging can compromise bone structure, necessitating effective strategies for regeneration. Traditional approaches often lack biomimetic environments conducive to efficient tissue repair. Nanofibrous microspheres (NFMS) present a promising biomimetic platform for bone regeneration by mimicking the native extracellular matrix architecture. Through optimized fabrication techniques and the incorporation of active biomolecular components, NFMS can precisely replicate the nanostructure and biochemical cues essential for osteogenesis promotion. Furthermore, NFMS exhibit versatile properties, including tunable morphology, mechanical strength, and controlled release kinetics, augmenting their suitability for tailored bone tissue engineering applications. NFMS enhance cell recruitment, attachment, and proliferation, while promoting osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, thereby accelerating bone healing. This review highlights the pivotal role of NFMS in bone tissue engineering, elucidating their design principles and key attributes. By examining recent preclinical applications, we assess their current clinical status and discuss critical considerations for potential clinical translation. This review offers crucial insights for researchers at the intersection of biomaterials and tissue engineering, highlighting developments in this expanding field.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal metastasis mechanism and microenvironment remodeling of lymph node in osteosarcoma. BMC Med 2024; 22:200. [PMID: 38755647 PMCID: PMC11100118 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03319-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor and is highly prone to metastasis. OS can metastasize to the lymph node (LN) through the lymphatics, and the metastasis of tumor cells reestablishes the immune landscape of the LN, which is conducive to the growth of tumor cells. However, the mechanism of LN metastasis of osteosarcoma and remodeling of the metastatic lymph node (MLN) microenvironment is not clear. METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing of 18 samples from paracancerous, primary tumor, and lymph nodes was performed. Then, new signaling axes closely related to metastasis were identified using bioinformatics, in vitro experiments, and immunohistochemistry. The mechanism of remodeling of the LN microenvironment in tumor cells was investigated by integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. RESULTS From 18 single-cell sequencing samples, we obtained 117,964 cells. The pseudotime analysis revealed that osteoblast(OB) cells may follow a differentiation path from paracancerous tissue (PC) → primary tumor (PT) → MLN or from PC → PT, during the process of LN metastasis. Next, in combination of bioinformatics, in vitro and in vivo experiments, and immunohistochemistry, we determined that ETS2/IBSP, a new signal axis, might promote LN metastasis. Finally, single-cell and spatial dissection uncovered that OS cells could reshape the microenvironment of LN by interacting with various cell components, such as myeloid, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and NK/T cells. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our research revealed a new molecular mechanism of LN metastasis and clarified how OS cells influenced the LN microenvironment, which might provide new insight for blocking LN metastasis.

Abstract
Antioxidant vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) is used as a flavoring in foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Vanillin possesses various biological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. This study aimed to investigate the biological activities of vanillin purified from Adenophora triphylla var. japonica Hara on bone-forming processes. Vanillin treatment induced mineralization as a marker for mature osteoblasts, after stimulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity. The bone-forming processes of vanillin are mainly mediated by the upregulation of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), phospho-Smad1/5/8, and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) pathway during the differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, vanillin promoted osteoblast-mediated bone-forming phenotypes by inducing migration and F-actin polymerization. Furthermore, we validated that vanillin-mediated bone-forming processes were attenuated by noggin and DKK1. Finally, we demonstrated that vanillin-mediated antioxidant effects prevent the death of osteoblasts during bone-forming processes. Overall, vanillin has bone-forming properties through the BMP2-mediated biological mechanism, indicating it as a bone-protective compound for bone health and bone diseases such as periodontitis and osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the cytocompatibility, bioactivity, and anti-inflammatory potential of the new pre-mixed calcium silicate cement-based sealers Bioroot Flow (BrF) and AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (AHPbcs) on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) compared to the epoxy resin-based sealer AH Plus (AHP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized discs and 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 eluates of BrF, AHPbcs and AHP after setting were prepared. The following assays were performed: cell attachment and morphology via SEM, cell viability via a MTT assay, cell migration/proliferation via a wound-healing assay, cytoskeleton organization via immunofluorescence staining; cytokine release via ELISA; osteo/cemento/odontogenic marker expression via RT-qPCR, and cell mineralized nodule formation via Alizarin Red S staining. HPDLSCs were isolated from extracted third molars from healthy patients. Comparisons were made with hPDLSCs cultured in unconditioned (negative control) or osteogenic (positive control) culture media. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05. RESULTS Both BrF and AHPbcs showed significantly positive results in the cytocompatibility assays (cell metabolic activity, migration, attachment, morphology, and cytoskeleton organization) compared with a negative control group, while AHP showed significant negative results. BrF exhibited an upregulation of at least one osteo/cementogenic marker compared to the negative and positive control groups. BrF showed a significantly higher calcified nodule formation than AHPbcs, the negative and positive control groups, while AHPbcs was higher than the negative control group. Both were also significantly higher than AHP group. CONCLUSION BrF and AHPbcs exhibit adequate and comparable cytocompatibility on hPDLSCs. BrF also promoted the osteo/cementogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Both calcium silicate-based sealers favored the downregulation of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and the calcified nodule formation from hPDLSCs. BrF exerted a significantly higher influence on cell mineralization than AHPbcs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This is the first study to elucidate the biological properties and immunomodulatory potential of Bioroot Flow and AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer. The results act as supporting evidence for their use in root canal treatment.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 14:1306125. [PMID: 38249346 PMCID: PMC10796560 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1306125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now globally recognized as a critical public health concern. Vascular calcification (VC) represents a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events in individuals with CKD. It is the accessible and precise diagnostic biomarkers for monitoring the progression of CKD and the concurrent VC are urgently needed. Methods: The adenine diet-induced CKD rat model was utilized to investigate chronic kidney injury, calcification in the kidney and thoracic aorta, and dysregulation of biochemical indices. Enzyme-linked immune sandwich assays were employed to analyze changes in calcification-related proteins. 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to delineate the microbiota characteristics in the gut and blood of CKD-afflicted rats. Additionally, transcriptome sequencing of kidney tissue was conducted to explore the relationship between CKD-associated microbiota features and alterations in kidney function. Results: The adenine diet-induced CKD inhibited body weight gain, and led to kidney injury, and pronounced calcification in kidney and thoracic aorta. The microbiota both in the gut and blood of these affected rats exhibited significantly lower alpha diversity and distinctive beta diversity than those in their healthy counterparts. CKD resulted in dysregulation of several biochemical indices (including elevated levels of creatinine, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, sodium, phosphorous, total cholesterol, and urea and decreased levels of albumin, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, and total bilirubin). Moreover, it upregulated calcification-related factors (bone sialoprotein [BSP], Klotho, fibroblast growth factor [FGF]-23, and sclerostin [SOST]) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Notably, the increased Acinetobacter in the blood was positively associated with calcifications in the kidney and thoracic aorta, in addition to the positive correlation with gut microbiota. The enrichment of Acinetobacter was concurrent with increases in calcification factors (BSP, FGF-23, and SOST), LPS, and phosphorous. Furthermore, transcriptome sequencing revealed that the enrichment of Acinetobacter was positively correlated with the majority of upregulated genes and negatively correlated with downregulated genes involved in the mineral absorption pathway. Conclusion: Our findings, for the first time, underscore that dysbiosis of symbiotic microbiota, both in the gut and blood, is involved in the progression of CKD. Particularly, the enrichment of Acinetobacter in blood emerges as a potential risk factor for CKD and its accompanying VC.

Abstract
Plant extracts are widely used as traditional medicines. Sophora flavescens Aiton-derived natural compounds exert various beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and antiregenerative activities, through their bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and alkaloids. In the present study, we investigated the biological effects of an S. flavescens-derived flavonoid, trifolirhizin (trifol), on the stimulation of osteogenic processes during osteoblast differentiation. Trifol (>98% purity) was successfully isolated from the root of S. flavescens and characterized. Trifol did not exhibit cellular toxicity in osteogenic cells, but promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity, with enhanced expression of the osteoblast differentiation markers, including Alp, ColI, and Bsp. Trifol induced nuclear runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) expression during the differentiation of osteogenic cells, and concomitantly stimulated the major osteogenic signaling proteins, including GSK3β, β-catenin, and Smad1/5/8. Among the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), Trifol activated JNK, but not ERK1/2 and p38. Trifol also increased the osteoblast-mediated bone-forming phenotypes, including transmigration, F-actin polymerization, and mineral apposition, during osteoblast differentiation. Overall, trifol exhibits bioactive activities related to osteogenic processes via differentiation, migration, and mineralization. Collectively, these results suggest that trifol may serve as an effective phytomedicine for bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Herein, we evaluated pinealectomy-induced melatonin absence to determine its effects on craniofacial and dental development in the offspring. DESIGN Female Wistar rats in three groups, i.e., intact pregnant rats, pinealectomized pregnant rats (PINX), and pinealectomized pregnant rats subjected to oral melatonin replacement therapy, were crossed 30 days after surgery. The heads of 7-day-old pups were harvested for cephalometric and histological analyses, and maxillae and incisors were collected for mRNA expression analysis. RESULTS The PINX pups exhibited a reduction in neurocranial and facial parameters such as a decrease in alveolar bone area, incisor size and proliferation, and an increase in odontoblasts and the dentin layer. Based on incisor mRNA expression analysis, we found that Dmp1 expression was upregulated, whereas Col1a1 expression was downregulated. Maxillary mRNA expression revealed that Rankl expression was upregulated, whereas that of Opn and Osx was downregulated. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that the absence of maternal melatonin during early life could affect dental and maxillary development in offspring, as well as delay odontogenesis and osteogenesis in maxillary tissues. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our findings suggest that disruptions or a lack of melatonin during pregnancy may cause changes in craniofacial and dental development, at least in animal experiments; however, in humans, these feedings are still poorly understood, and thus careful evaluations of melatonin levels in humans need to be investigated in craniofacial alterations.

Abstract
Tau protein blood levels dependent on its distribution to peripheral organs and possible elimination from the body. Thus, the peripheral distribution of CSF-derived tau protein was explored, especially since there is a transition to blood-based biomarkers and the emerging idea that tau pathology may spread beyond brain. Near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) was mainly used to analyze tau (tau-NIRF) distribution after its intracisternal or intravenous injection. There was a striking uptake of blood- or CSF-derived tau-NIRF protein by the skeletal structures, liver, small intestine (duodenum), gall bladder, kidneys, urinary bladder, lymph nodes, heart, and spleen. In aging and in older APP/PS1 mice, tau uptake in regions, such as the brain, liver, and skeleton, was increased. In bone (femur) injected tau protein was associated with integrin-binding sialoprotein (IBSP), a major non-collagenous glycoprotein that is associated with mineralization. Tau-NIRF was cleared slowly from CSF via mainly across the cribriform plate, and cervical lymph nodes. In brain, some of the CSF injected tau protein was associated with NeuN-positive and PDGFRý-positive cells, which may explain its retention. The presence of tau in the bladders suggested excretion routes of tau. CSF anti-tau antibody increased CSF tau clearance, while blood anti-tau antibody decreased tau accumulation in the femur but not in liver, kidney, and spleen. Thus, the data show a body-wide distribution and retention of CSF-derived tau protein, which increased with aging and in older APP/PS1 mice. Further work is needed to elucidate the relevance of tau accumulation in each organ to tauopathy.

Abstract
Background IBSP is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family that plays a vital role in bone formation, renewal and repair. Emerging evidence revealed that IBSP participated in the tumorigenesis and progression in some cancers. However, its significance in tumour prognosis and immunotherapy is still unknown. Methods In the current study, we studied the role of IBSP in tumorigenesis, tumor diagnosis, genomic heterogeneity, methylation modifications, immune infiltration, and therapy response in pan-cancer. In addition, we constructed a risk score model to assessed the prognostic classification efficiency of IBSP using the co-expression genes of IBSP in osteosarcoma (OS), and analyzed the expression and role of IBSP in OS through a series of assays in vitro. Results IBSP was upregulated in various cancers compared to the paired normal tissues, and it was strongly correlated with the prognosis, pathological stage, diagnostic accuracy, genomic heterogeneity, methylation modification, immune infiltration, immune and checkpoint. Moreover, the predictive model we established in combination with the clinical characteristics of OS patients showed high survival predictive power in these individuals. The assays in vitro showed that IBSP promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of OS cells, which further confirmed IBSP's role in cancers. Conclusions Our research revealed the multifunctionality of IBSP in the tumorigenesis, progression and therapy in various cancers, which demonstrated that IBSP may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a novel immunotherapy target in pan-cancer.

Acta Biomater 2023; 157:625-638. [PMID: 36371003 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.11.005] [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: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Innate immune responses play important roles in material-induced bone formation and such roles were further explored in the current study with an emphasis on M2 macrophages and osteoclastogenesis. With the presence of M-CSF and RANKL, M0 macrophages from FVB mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMMs) fused to osteoclasts with both M2 marker and osteoclast marker at day 5, and such osteoclast formation at day 5 was enhanced when the cells were treated with IL-4 at day 3. With IL-4 treatment alone for 24 h, M0 polarized into M2 macrophages. Conditioned medium of M2 macrophages enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 (pre-osteoblasts) while osteoclast conditioned medium enhanced osteogenic differentiation of CRL-12424 (osteogenic precursors). TCPs (a typical osteoinductive material) supported M2 macrophage polarization at day 4 and osteoclast formation at day 5, while TCPb (a typical non-osteoinductive material) was less effective. Moreover, osteoclasts formed on TCPs produced osteogenic factors including S1P, Wnt10B and BMP-6, resulting osteogenic differentiation of CRL-12424 cells. Similar to in vitro testing, TCPs favored M2 macrophage polarization followed by the formation of osteoclasts in vivo, as compared to TCPb. The overall data provided evidence of a coupling between M2 macrophages, osteoclasts and material-induced bone formation: osteoclasts formed from M2 macrophages secrete osteogenic cytokines to induce osteogenic differentiation of osteogenic precursor cells to finally form bone. The current findings outlined a biological mechanism of material-induced bone formation and further rationalized the use of osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper provides evidence for finding out the relationship between M2 macrophages, osteoclasts and osteogenesis in material-induced bone formation. It suggested that osteoinductive materials enhanced macrophage polarization to M2 macrophages which fuses to osteoclasts, osteoclasts subsequently secret osteogenic cytokines to differentiate finally osteogenic precursors to form bone in osteoinductive materials. The data supports scientifically the superiority of osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration in clinics.

Abstract
The Paeonia suffruticosa ANDR. (P. suffruticosa) is commonly used in traditional medicine for various purposes. Suffruticosol A (Suf-A), isolated from P. suffruticosa, is a beneficial compound with antibiofilm, antivirulence, and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological effects of Suf-A on osteogenic processes in pre-osteoblasts. It was determined here in that Suf-A (>98.02%), isolated from P. suffruticosa, showed no cytotoxicity at 0.1-30 μM; however, it induced cytotoxicity at 50-100 μM in pre-osteoblasts. Suf-A increased osteogenic alkaline phosphatase activity and expression levels of noncollagenous proteins. Adhesion and trans-migration on the extracellular matrix were potentiated by Suf-A, but not by wound-healing migration. Suf-A did not affect autophagy or necroptosis during osteoblast differentiation. We found that Suf-A increased runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) levels and mineralized matrix formation. RUNX2 expression was mediated by Suf-A-induced BMP2-Smad1/5/8 and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, as demonstrated by Noggin, a BMP2 inhibitor. These results suggest that Suf-A is a potential natural osteogenic compound.

Abstract
Aging of the vascular system is the main cause of many cardiovascular diseases. The structure and function of the blood vessel wall change with aging. To prevent age-related cardiovascular diseases, it is essential to understand the cellular heterogeneity of vascular wall and changes of cellular communication among cell subpopulations during aging. Here, using published single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of young and old monkey aortas, we analyzed the heterogeneity of vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells in detail and identified a distinct endothelial cell subpopulation that involved in vascular remodeling and calcification. Moreover, cellular communication that changed with aging was analyzed and we identified a number of signaling pathways that associated with vascular aging. We found that EGF signaling pathway play an essential role in vascular remodeling and calcification of aged aortas. This work provided a better understanding of vascular aging and laid the foundation for prevention of age-related vascular pathologies.

Abstract
Suffruticosol B (Suf-B) is a stilbene found in Paeonia suffruticosa ANDR., which has been traditionally used in medicine. Stilbenes and their derivatives possess various pharmacological effects, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-osteoporotic activities. This study aimed to explore the bone-forming activities and mechanisms of Suf-B in pre-osteoblasts. Herein, >99.9% pure Suf-B was isolated from P. suffruticosa methanolic extracts. High concentrations of Suf-B were cytotoxic, whereas low concentrations did not affect cytotoxicity in pre-osteoblasts. Under zero levels of cytotoxicity, Suf-B exhibited bone-forming abilities by enhancing alkaline phosphatase enzyme activities, bone matrix calcification, and expression levels with non-collagenous proteins. Suf-B induces intracellular signal transduction, leading to nuclear RUNX2 expression. Suf-B-stimulated differentiation showed increases in autophagy proteins and autophagosomes, as well as enhancement of osteoblast adhesion and transmigration on the ECM. These results indicate that Suf-B has osteogenic qualities related to differentiation, autophagy, adhesion, and migration. This also suggests that Suf-B could have a therapeutic effect as a phytomedicine in skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Aim To assess the cytocompatibility and bioactive potential of the new calcium silicate cement‐based sealer AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (AHPbcs) on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) compared with the epoxy resin‐based sealer AH Plus (AHP) and the calcium silicate cement‐based sealer Endosequence BC Sealer (ESbcs). Methodology Standardized sample discs and 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4 eluates of the tested materials were prepared. The following assays were performed: surface element distribution via SEM–EDX, cell attachment and morphology via SEM, cell viability via a MTT assay, cell migration/proliferation via a wound‐healing assay, osteo/cemento/odontogenic marker expression via RT‐qPCR and cell mineralized nodule formation via Alizarin Red S staining. HPDLSCs were isolated from extracted third molars. Comparisons were made with hPDLSCs cultured in unconditioned (negative control) or osteogenic (positive control) culture media. Statistical significance was established at p < .05. Results A higher peak of Ca2+ was detected from ESbcs compared with AHPbcs and AHP in SEM–EDX. Both AHPbcs and ESbcs showed significantly positive results in the cytocompatibility assays (cell viability, migration/proliferation, attachment and morphology) compared with a negative control group, whilst AHP showed significant negative results. Both AHPbcs and ESbcs exhibited an upregulation of at least one osteo/odonto/cementogenic marker compared with the negative and positive control groups. Both ESbcs and AHPbcs showed a significantly higher calcified nodule formation than the negative and positive control groups, indicative of their biomineralization potential and were also significantly higher than AHP group. Conclusion AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer exhibited a significantly higher cytocompatibility and bioactive potential than AH Plus and a similar cytocompatibility to that of Endosequence BC Sealer. Endosequence BC Sealer exhibited a significantly higher mineralization potential than the other tested sealers. The results from this in vitro study act as supporting evidence for the use of AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer in root canal treatment.

Abstract
Background Naringin is a naturally occurring flavanone that promotes osteogenesis. Owing to the high lipophilicity, poor in vivo bioavailability, and extensive metabolic alteration upon administration, the clinical efficacy of naringin is understudied. Additionally, information on the molecular mechanism by which it promotes osteogenesis is limited. Methods In this study, we prepared TAT & RGD peptide-modified naringin-loaded nanoparticles (TAT-RGD-NAR-NPs), evaluated their potency on the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), and studied its mechanism of action through metabolomic analysis. Results The particle size and zeta potential of TAT-RGD-NAR-NPs were 160.70±2.05 mm and –20.77±0.47mV, respectively. The result of cell uptake assay showed that TAT-RGD-NAR-NPs could effectively enter hDPSCs. TAT-RGD-NAR-NPs had a more significant effect on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation promotion. Furthermore, in metabolomic analysis, naringin particles showed a strong influence on the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway of hDPSCs. Specifically, it upregulated the expression of PLA2G3 and PLA2G1B (two isozymes of phospholipase A2, PLA2), increased the biosynthesis of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Conclusion These results suggested that TAT-RGD-NPs might be used for transporting naringin to hDPSCs for modulating stem cell osteogenic differentiation. The metabolomic analysis was used for the first time to elucidate the mechanism by which naringin promotes hDPSCs osteogenesis by upregulating PLA2G3 and PLA2G1B.

Abstract
Pulp injury is one of the most common clinical diseases, and severe cases are usually associated with the functional loss of the tooth, while the current clinical treatment modality is only a cavity filling procedure without the regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex, thus leading to a devitalized and brittle tooth. In this study, carbon dots (CDots) with excellent biocompatibility are prepared from ascorbic acid and polyethyleneimine via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared CDots can enhance extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), giving rise to increased cell adhesion on ECM and a stronger osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation capacity of DPSCs. Further, the mechanism underlying CDots-enhanced ECM secretion is revealed by the transcriptome analysis, Western blot assay and molecular dynamics simulation, identifying that the pharmacological activities of CDots are originated from a reasonable activation of the autophagy, which is mediated by regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. Based on the abundant CDots-induced ECM and thereby the reinforcement of the cell-ECM adhesion, an intact dental pulp stem cell sheet can be achieved, which in return promote in vivo the efficient regeneration of dentin-pulp complex as well as blood vessels.

Abstract
Conventional method for removal of carious tissue using low speed drills usually induce noise and vibration, in addition to thermal and pressure effects that can be harmful to the pulp tissue and cause fear in children. Therefore, several alternative methods are being developed to try to minimize the unpleasant perception of the patient during caries removal. Chemical-mechanical removal of carious tissue goal is to selectively remove the carious lesion, which reduces the amount of bacteria inside the cavity without removing the tissue susceptible to remineralization. This method is also able to minimize the tactile perception by the patient during the manipulation of the lesion compared to the conventional method, and, therefore, it has been widely accepted among phobic patients, children and special needs patients. Due to the close relationship between dentin and pulp tissue, all injuries imposed on this dentin may have repercussions on the underlying pulp connective tissue. The morphological aspects of remaining dentin favor the diffusion of chemical components of dental materials, which can be toxic to the pulp tissue or even negatively interfere in the reparative process. Thus, considering the proximity between the applied material and the underlying pulp tissue, especially in deep cavities, there is a need to assess the biological behavior of dental materials against pulp cells, since aggressions to the pulp tissue can be caused not only by metabolites from microorganisms involved in dental caries but also by components that are released from these products. This subject was explored in this narrative literature review.

Zerbib E, Arif T, Shteinfer-Kuzmine A, Chalifa-Caspi V, Shoshan-Barmatz V. VDAC1 Silencing in Cancer Cells Leads to Metabolic Reprogramming That Modulates Tumor Microenvironment. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13112850. [PMID: 34200480 PMCID: PMC8201394 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13112850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Tumors are comprised of proliferating cancer cells, and their microenvironment consists of the extracellular matrix, blood vessels, and a variety of tissue cells. The tumor microenvironment functions in cell growth, proliferation, migration, immunity, malignant transformation, and apoptosis. Understanding the molecular interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment would facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies to disrupt these interactions and fight cancer. Here, we demonstrate that depleting the mitochondrial gatekeeper VDAC1 in human cancer cells in tumors led to metabolic reprogramming, inhibited tumor growth, and disrupted tumor–host interactions. A next-generation sequencing analysis of human lung cell-derived tumors expressing or depleted of VDAC1 allows distinguishing genes of human or murine origin, thus enabling the separation of the bidirectional cross-talk between malignant cells and the tumor microenvironment. A battery of human cancer cell and mouse genes associated with tumor microenvironment formation and remodeling were altered. The results point to VDAC1 as a novel target for both inhibiting tumor growth and modulating the tumor microenvironment, thus influencing cancer progression, migration, and invasion. Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, migration, immunity, malignant transformation, and apoptosis. Thus, better insight into tumor–host interactions is required. Most of these processes involve the metabolic reprogramming of cells. Here, we focused on this reprogramming in cancerous cells and its effect on the TME. A major limitation in the study of tumor–host interactions is the difficulty in separating cancerous from non-cancerous signaling pathways within a tumor. Our strategy involved specifically silencing the expression of VDAC1 in the mitochondria of human-derived A549 lung cancer xenografts in mice, but not in the mouse-derived cells of the TME. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis allows distinguishing the human or mouse origin of genes, thus enabling the separation of the bidirectional cross-talk between the TME and malignant cells. We demonstrate that depleting VDAC1 in cancer cells led to metabolic reprogramming, tumor regression, and the disruption of tumor–host interactions. This was reflected in the altered expression of a battery of genes associated with TME, including those involved in extracellular matrix organization and structure, matrix-related peptidases, angiogenesis, intercellular interacting proteins, integrins, and growth factors associated with stromal activities. We show that metabolic rewiring upon mitochondrial VDAC1 silencing in cancer cells affected several components of the TME, such as structural protein matrix metalloproteinases and Lox, and elicited a stromal response resembling the reaction to a foreign body in wound healing. As tumor progression requires a cooperative interplay between the host and cancer cells, and the ECM is intensively remodeled during cancer progression, VDAC1 depletion induced metabolic reprogramming that targeted both tumor cells and resulted in the alteration of the whole spectrum of TME-related genes, affecting the reciprocal feedback between ECM molecules, host cells, and cancer cells. Thus, VDAC1 depletion using si-VDAC1 represents therapeutic potential, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and also inducing the modulation of TME components, which influences cancer progression, migration, and invasion.

Abstract
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has become a target in breast cancer research as it is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of BSP expression have been largely elusive. Given that BSP is involved in the homing of cancer cells in bone metastatic niches, we addressed regulatory effects of proteolytic cleavage and extracellular matrix components on BSP expression and distribution in cell culture models. Therefore, MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were kept in 2D and 3D spheroid cultures and exposed to basement membrane extract in the presence or absence of matrix metalloproteinase 9 or the non-polar protease, dispase. Confocal imaging of immunofluorescence samples stained with different antibodies against human BSP demonstrated a strong inducing effect of basement membrane extract on anti-BSP immunofluorescence. Similarly, protease incubation led to acute upregulation of anti-BSP immunofluorescence signals, which was blocked by cycloheximide, suggesting de novo formation of BSP. In summary, our data show that extracellular matrix components play an important function in regulating BSP expression and hint at mechanisms for the formation of bone-associated metastasis in breast cancer that might involve local control of BSP levels by extracellular matrix degradation and release of growth factors.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate through gene expression, immunohistochemical and microtomographic (micro-CT) analysis the response of peri-implant bone tissue around titanium implants with different surface treatments, placed in bone defects filled or not with bone substitute materials. In addition, to investigate the hypothesis that porous-hydrophilic surface induces a faster bone formation. Materials and methods Twenty-six animals were divided into two groups according to implant surface treatment. In each tibia, a bone defect was created followed by the placement of one implant. On the left tibia, the defect was filled with blood clot (BC), and on the right tibia, the defect was filled with biphasic hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium-phosphate (HA/TCP) generating four subgroups: BC-N: bone defect filled with blood clot and porous surface titanium implant installed; BC-A: bone defect filled with blood clot and porous-hydrophilic surface titanium implant installed; HA/TCP-N: bone defect filled with bone substitute material and porous surface titanium implant installed; and HA/TCP-A: bone defect filled with bone substitute material and porous-hydrophilic surface titanium implant installed. The animals were submitted to euthanasia at 15, 30, and 60 days after implant installation. The expression of two genes was evaluated: RUNX2 and BSP. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed for detection of RUNX2, OPN, OCN, OPG, and RANKL antibodies and bone matrix proteins. Finally, four parameters were chosen for micro-CT analysis: trabecular number, separation and thickness, and connectivity density. Results Descriptive analysis showed similar findings among the experimental groups. Moreover, porous-hydrophilic surfaces presented a higher expression of RUNX2, which is probably an indicative of better osteogenesis; although the data from this study may be considered an insufficient support for a concrete statement. Conclusion Porous hydrophilic surface can improve and accelerate protein expression and bone formation.

Enhanced Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Amine-Functionalized Titanium Using Humidified Ammonia Supplied Nonthermal Atmospheric Pressure Plasma. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176085.

Abstract
The surface molecular chemistry, such as amine functionality, of biomaterials plays a crucial role in the osteogenic activity of relevant cells and tissues during hard tissue regeneration. Here, we examined the possibilities of creating amine functionalities on the surface of titanium by using the nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (NTAPPJ) method with humidified ammonia, and the effects on human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) were investigated. Titanium samples were subjected to NTAPPJ treatments using nitrogen (N-P), air (A-P), or humidified ammonia (NA-P) as the plasma gas, while control (C-P) samples were not subjected to plasma treatment. After plasma exposure, all treatment groups showed increased hydrophilicity and had more attached cells than the C-P. Among the plasma-treated samples, the A-P and NA-P showed surface oxygen functionalities and exhibited greater cell proliferation than the C-P and N-P. The NA-P additionally showed surface amine-related functionalities and exhibited a higher level of alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin expression than the other samples. The results can be explained by increases in fibronectin absorption and focal adhesion kinase gene expression on the NA-P samples. These findings suggest that NTAPPJ technology with humidified ammonia as a gas source has clinical potential for hard tissue generation.

Abstract
Large bone defects are a major health concern worldwide. The conventional bone repair techniques (e.g., bone-grafting and Masquelet techniques) have numerous drawbacks, which negatively impact their therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, there is a demand to develop an alternative bone repair approach that can address the existing drawbacks. Bone tissue engineering involving the utilization of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) has recently emerged as a key strategy for the regeneration of damaged bone tissues. However, the use of tissue-engineered bone graft for the clinical treatment of bone defects remains challenging. While the role of mechanical loading in creating a bone graft has been well explored, the effects of mechanical loading factors (e.g., loading types and regime) on clinical outcomes are poorly understood. This review summarizes the effects of mechanical loading on hMSCs for bone tissue engineering applications. First, we discuss the key assays for assessing the quality of tissue-engineered bone grafts, including specific staining, as well as gene and protein expression of osteogenic markers. Recent studies of the impact of mechanical loading on hMSCs, including compression, perfusion, vibration and stretching, along with the potential mechanotransduction signalling pathways, are subsequently reviewed. Lastly, we discuss the challenges and prospects of bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone augmentation is a challenging problem in the field of maxillofacial surgery. OBJECTIVE In this study, we prepared and evaluated muscle extracellular matrix (MEM) after adding silica calcium phosphate composite (SCPC) seeded with human bone marrow mesenchymal cells (hBMSCs). We then investigated bone augmentation in vivo using the prepared MEM-SCPC. MATERIALS AND METHODS hBMSCs were seeded on MEM-SCPC, and MEM was characterized. Calvarial bone grafts were prepared using nude mice (n = 12) and grafted separately in two experimental groups: grafts with MEM (control, n = 4) and grafts with MEM-SCPC-hBMSCs (experimental group, n = 8) for 8 weeks. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis were then performed. RESULTS Micro-CT analysis demonstrated a thinner trabeculae in grafted defects than normal native bone, with a high degree of anisotropy. Quantitative histomorphometric assessment showed a higher median bone percentage surface area of 80.2% ± 6.0% in the experimental group. CONCLUSION The enhanced bone formation and maturation of bone grafted with MEM-SCPC-hBMSCs suggested the potential use of this material for bone augmentation.

Abstract
Venous leg ulcers (VLU) represent a major clinical unmet need, impairing quality of life for millions worldwide. The bioengineered bilayered living cell construct (BLCC) is the only FDA-approved therapy demonstrating efficacy in healing chronic VLU, yet its in vivo mechanisms of action are not well understood. Previously, we reported a BLCC-mediated acute wounding response at the ulcer edge; in this study we elucidated the BLCC-specific effects on the epidermis-free ulcer bed. We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01327937) enrolling 30 subjects with nonhealing VLUs, and performed genotyping, genomic profiling, and functional analysis on wound bed biopsies obtained at baseline and 1 week after treatment with BLCC plus compression or compression therapy (control). The VLU bed transcriptome featured processes of chronic inflammation and was strikingly enriched for fibrotic/fibrogenic pathways and gene networks. BLCC application decreased expression of profibrotic TGFß1 gene targets and increased levels of TGFß inhibitor decorin. Surprisingly, BLCC upregulated metallothioneins and fibroblast-derived MMP8 collagenase, and promoted endogenous release of MMP-activating zinc to stimulate antifibrotic remodeling, a novel mechanism of cutaneous wound healing. By activating a remodeling program in the quiescent VLU bed, BLCC application shifts nonhealing to healing phenotype. As VLU bed fibrosis correlates with poor clinical healing, findings from this study identify the chronic VLU as a fibrotic skin disease and are first to support the development and application of antifibrotic therapies as a successful treatment approach.

Abstract
Papain-based gel is used for chemical-mechanical caries removal and present antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. However, its effects on dental pulp cells and on macrophages remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the papain-based gel Papacárie Duo® acts as an immunomodulator in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages and its effects on dental pulp cells . J774.1 macrophage and OD-21 dental pulp cells were stimulated with 0.5% and 5% of Papacárie Duo®, following pre-treatment or not with LPS. After 24 h, a lactate dehydrogenase assay was used to measure cytotoxicity, a tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT) was used to measure cell viability, and qRT-PCR was used to analyze relative gene expression of Ptgs2, Il10, Tnf, Mmp9, Runx2, Ibsp and Spp1. Papacárie Duo® was cytotoxic and reduced cell viability at 5% but not at 0.5% in both cultures. In macrophages, Papacárie Duo® increased the expression Il10 and LPS-induced Ptgs2, but it did not affect Tnf or Mmp9. In OD-21 cells, Papacárie Duo® inhibited Runx2 and Ibsp expression, but stimulated Spp1 expression. Papain-based gel presented a concentration dependent cytotoxicity, without affecting cell viability, for dental pulp cells and macrophages. Interestingly, the gel presented an inhibitory effect on pulp cell differentiation but modulated the activation of macrophages stimulated with LPS. We speculate that in dental pulp tissue, Papacárie Duo® would impair reparative dentinogenesis but could activate macrophages to perform their role in defense and inflammation.

Abstract
Normally, bone sialoprotein (BSP) is an important contributor to bone micro-calcification. However, it is also highly expressed in bone-metastatic malignancies, including prostate, lung, and breast cancer. In these disorders, BSP correlates with poor prognosis. Its expression in triple-negative breast cancer cells is enhanced by the transcription factor RUNX2, and both, BSP and RUNX2 are under control of IGF-1 and TGFβ1. Knockdown of BSP or its inactivation by specific antibodies were found to reduce the metastatic potential of MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells in xenografts. While the role of BSP in bone metastasis was studied using such in vivo models, valid in vitro test systems to investigate BSP biology have been lacking since this protein is expressed at very low levels in classical 2D cell cultures and the frequently used breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 is difficult to grow in 3D. Here, we have developed a long-term 3D spheroid culture model using MDA-MB-231 cells in a sandwich approach using cell embedding between a non-adherent surface and basement membrane extracts. This allowed consistent growth of spheroids for more than 21 days. Also, co-culturing of MDA-MB-231 with CCD-1137Sk fibroblasts yielded stably growing spheroids, suggesting the importance of extracellular matrix (ECM) in this process. In addition, we have set up a novel and simple open source analysis tool to characterize protein expression in 2D cultures and spheroids by immunofluorescence. Using this approach in combination with Western blot analysis, the expression profile of BSP was analyzed. BSP was enriched at the rims of spheroids, both in mono- and co-cultures and its abundance in general correlated with that of TGFβ1 under different conditions, including spheroid maturation, cytostatic treatment, and fibroblast co-culture. Conversely, correlation of IGF-1 and BSP was limited to mono-culture time course profiles. In conclusion, we present novel tools to study the regulation of gene expression in combination with cell proliferation and apoptosis in a long-term 3D model of breast cancer and find dynamic abundance profiles of the metastasis-relevant protein BSP and its regulators.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds as artificial ECMs have been extensively studied to mimic the critical features of natural ECMs. To develop more clinically relevant 3D scaffolds, electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds with different weight ratios of PCL/PLA (i.e., 100/0, 60/40, and 20/80) were fabricated via the thermally induced (nanofiber) self-agglomeration (TISA) method. The hypothesis was that, with the weight ratio increase of stiffer and more bioactive PLA in the 3D PCL/PLA blend scaffolds, the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) would be enhanced. The results indicated that, all of the 3D scaffolds were elastic/resilient and possessed interconnected and hierarchical pores with sizes from sub-microns to ∼300 μm; therefore, the morphological structures of these scaffolds were similar to those of natural ECMs. The PLA80 scaffolds exhibited the best overall properties in terms of density, porosity, water absorption capacity, mechanical properties, bioactivity, and cell viability. Furthermore, with increasing the PLA weight ratio, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content, and gene expression level were also increased, probably due to the improved stiffness/bioactivity of scaffold. Hence, the novel 3D electrospun PLA80 nanofibrous scaffold might be desired/favorable for the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
Recently, it has been suggested that oxytocin (OT) might play a role in the control of bone remodeling and in bone health of young and adult females. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of osteogenic medium (OM) plus OT (OM + OT; 100 nmol/L) on osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) from cyclic adult (12 months old) and acyclic aging (24 months old) female Wistar rats. After 14 days, OM + OT increased the oxytocin and oxytocin receptor in the BMMSCs from animals of both age groups relative to OM controls. Alkaline phosphatase activity was higher in the OM + OT than OM group in BMMSCs from 24-month-old female rats. OM + OT improved osteogenic differentiation, observed by anticipated mineralization and increased gene expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteocalcin in both aged relative to OM controls. These findings suggest a role for OT as an adjuvant to induce osteoblastic differentiation of BMMSCs from aged female rat.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of abnormalities that increases the risk for type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Plasma and serum water T2 from benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry are early, global and practical biomarkers for metabolic syndrome and its underlying abnormalities. In a prior study, water T2 was analyzed against ~ 130 strategically selected proteins and metabolites to identify associations with insulin resistance, inflammation and dyslipidemia. In the current study, the analysis was broadened ten-fold using a modified aptamer (SOMAmer) library, enabling an unbiased search for new proteins correlated with water T2 and thus, metabolic health. Methods Water T2 measurements were recorded using fasting plasma and serum from non-diabetic human subjects. In parallel, plasma samples were analyzed using a SOMAscan assay that employed modified DNA aptamers to determine the relative concentrations of 1310 proteins. A multi-step statistical analysis was performed to identify the biomarkers most predictive of water T2. The steps included Spearman rank correlation, followed by principal components analysis with variable clustering, random forests for biomarker selection, and regression trees for biomarker ranking. Results The multi-step analysis unveiled five new proteins most predictive of water T2: hepatocyte growth factor, receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3, bone sialoprotein 2, glucokinase regulatory protein and endothelial cell-specific molecule 1. Three of the five strongest predictors of water T2 have been previously implicated in cardiometabolic diseases. Hepatocyte growth factor has been associated with incident type 2 diabetes, and endothelial cell specific molecule 1, with atherosclerosis in subjects with diabetes. Glucokinase regulatory protein plays a critical role in hepatic glucose uptake and metabolism and is a drug target for type 2 diabetes. By contrast, receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 and bone sialoprotein 2 have not been previously associated with metabolic conditions. In addition to the five most predictive biomarkers, the analysis unveiled other strong correlates of water T2 that would not have been identified in a hypothesis-driven biomarker search. Conclusions The identification of new proteins associated with water T2 demonstrates the value of this approach to biomarker discovery. It provides new insights into the metabolic significance of water T2 and the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Predictable regeneration of alveolar bone defects has always been a challenge in implant dentistry. Bone allografts are widely used bone substitutes with controversial osteoinductive activity. This in vitro study aimed to assess the osteogenic potential of some commercially available freeze-dried bone allografts supplemented with human recombinant platelet-derived growth factor-BB and transforming growth factor beta-1. Cell viability, mineralization, and osteogenic gene expression of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells were compared among the allograft alone, allograft/platelet-derived growth factor-BB, allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1, and allograft/platelet-derived growth factor-BB/transforming growth factor beta-1 groups. The methyl thiazol tetrazolium assay, real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and alizarin red staining were performed, respectively, for assessment of cell viability, differentiation, and mineralization at 24-72 h post treatment. The allograft with greater cytotoxic effect on MG-63 cells caused the lowest differentiation among the groups. In comparison with allograft alone, allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1, and allograft/transforming growth factor beta-1/platelet-derived growth factor-BB caused significant upregulation of bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin osteogenic mid-late marker genes, and resulted in significantly higher amounts of calcified nodules especially in mineralized non-cytotoxic allograft group. Supplementation of platelet-derived growth factor-BB alone in 5 ng/mL concentration had no significant effect on differentiation or mineralization markers. According to the results, transforming growth factor beta-1 acts synergistically with bone allografts to enhance the osteogenic differentiation potential. Therefore, this combination may be useful for rapid transformation of undifferentiated cells into bone-forming cells for bone regeneration. However, platelet-derived growth factor-BB supplementation did not support this synergistic ability to enhance osteogenic differentiation and thus, further investigations are required.

Three dimensional electrospun PCL/PLA blend nanofibrous scaffolds with significantly improved stem cells osteogenic differentiation and cranial bone formation. Biomaterials 2016; 115:115-127.

Abstract
Nanofibrous scaffolds that are morphologically/structurally similar to natural ECM are highly interested for tissue engineering; however, the electrospinning technique has the difficulty in directly producing clinically relevant 3D nanofibrous scaffolds with desired structural properties. To address this challenge, we have developed an innovative technique of thermally induced nanofiber self-agglomeration (TISA) recently. The aim of this work was to prepare (via the TISA technique) and evaluate 3D electrospun PCL/PLA blend (mass ratio: 4/1) nanofibrous scaffolds having high porosity of ∼95.8% as well as interconnected and hierarchically structured pores with sizes from sub-micrometers to ∼300 μm for bone tissue engineering. The hypothesis was that the incorporation of PLA (with higher mechanical stiffness/modulus and bioactivity) into PCL nanofibers would significantly improve human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) osteogenic differentiation in vitro and bone formation in vivo. Compared to neat PCL-3D scaffolds, PCL/PLA-3D blend scaffolds had higher mechanical properties and in vitro bioactivity; as a result, they not only enhanced the cell viability of hMSCs but also promoted the osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, our in vivo studies revealed that PCL/PLA-3D scaffolds considerably facilitated new bone formation in a critical-sized cranial bone defect mouse model. In summary, both in vitro and in vivo results indicated that novel 3D electrospun PCL/PLA blend nanofibrous scaffolds would be strongly favorable/desired for hMSCs osteogenic differentiation and cranial bone formation.

Abstract
Amelotin (AMTN) is a secreted protein transcribed predominantly during the maturation stage of enamel formation and localized in the junctional epithelium. We investigated differences in the levels of AMTN gene expression between non-inflamed gingiva and inflamed gingiva from patients with chronic periodontitis. Total RNAs were isolated from these tissues and their gene expression profiles were monitored by DNA microarray. The observed induction of AMTN mRNA in inflamed gingiva and cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) was confirmed by real-time PCR. Transient transfection assays were performed using chimeric constructs of mouse AMTN gene promoter fragments linked to a luciferase reporter gene. Immunohistochemical localization of AMTN in inflamed and non-inflamed gingiva was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Among many differentially expressed genes, the level of AMTN mRNA was significantly increased in inflamed gingiva. Treatment of HGF with interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced the expression of AMTN mRNA, and increased the luciferase activities of the AMTN promoter constructs. AMTN protein was detected in inflamed gingival connective tissue and junctional epithelium. These findings demonstrate that proinflammatory cytokines induce AMTN gene expression in human gingival fibroblasts and suggest a role for AMTN in gingival inflammation.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) have been recognized as important regulators in diverse biological processes, such as transcriptional regulation, stem cell proliferation, and differentiation. Previous study has demonstrated that lncRNA-ANCR (antidifferentiation ncRNA) plays a key role in regulating the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). However, little is known about the role of ANCR in regulating other types of dental tissue-derived stem cells (DTSCs) behaviours (including proliferation and multiple-potential of differentiation). In this study, we investigated the regulatory effects of lncRNA-ANCR on the proliferation and differentiation (including osteogenic, adipogenic, and neurogenic differentiation) of DTSCs, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), PDLSCs, and stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) by downregulation of lncRNA-ANCR. We found that downregulation of ANCR exerted little effect on proliferation of DPSCs and SCAP but promoted the osteogenic, adipogenic, and neurogenic differentiation of DTSCs. These data provide an insight into the regulatory effects of long noncoding RNA-ANCR on DTSCs and indicate that ANCR is a very important regulatory factor in stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects 35% women and 20% men aged more than 65 years. Reduction in bone formation and increased bone resorption are known factors that drive osteoporosis, but recent studies suggest a positive correlation between bone marrow adipose tissue (MAT) and osteoporosis. Previously, we have observed that tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (T-MSCs) reduce MAT in a mouse model of bone marrow depletion. That prompted us to investigate on the senile osteoporosis to characterize the bone-forming effect, as well as MAT-reducing effect of T-MSCs. In a mouse model of senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6), we injected T-MSCs or T-MSC conditioned medium (CM) through tail vein and examined changes in bone microstructure using micro-CT scan and hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining. Biochemical markers of osteoporosis, deoxypyridinoline (DPD) and osteocalcin, were examined by ELISA. Results demonstrated attenuation in the progression of osteoporosis, in part, by sustaining osteocalcin production and by blocking MAT accumulation. Increase in matrix mineralization was determined using in vitro culture of murine preosteoblast cell line by treatment of T-MSC CM. Interestingly, T-MSC CM induced continuous weight loss and selectively reduced visceral adipose tissue mass. Finally, antiadipogenic effects of T-MSC CM were determined in vitro. In conclusion, regulation of bone together with MAT could be considered as a new therapeutic option for the treatment of senile osteoporosis and this report may provide a framework for future cell therapy using T-MSCs.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass, decreased bone strength, and increased risk of fracture. It is due to unbalance between bone formation and bone resorption. Bone formation is a complex process which involves the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts. Osteoblasts produce a characteristic extracellular collagenous matrix that subsequently becomes mineralized. Osterix (Osx) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation. Bone sialoprotein (Bsp) is a member of the SIBLING gene family. Expression of Bsp correlates with the differentiation of osteoblasts and the onset of mineralization. Our preliminary data showed that Bsp was abolished in Osx-null mice; however, the detailed mechanism of Osx regulation on Bsp is not fully understood. In this study, regulation of Bsp expression by Osx was further characterized. It was shown that overexpression of Osx led to Bsp upregulation. Inhibition of Osx by small interfering RNA resulted in Bsp downregulation in osteoblast. Transfection assay demonstrated that Osx was able to activate Bsp promoter reporter in a dose-dependent manner. To define minimal region of Bsp promoter activated by Osx, a series of deletion mutants of Bsp promoter were generated, and the minimal region was narrowed down to the proximal 100 bp. Point-mutagenesis studies showed that one GC-rich site was required for Bsp promoter activation by Osx. ChIP assays demonstrated that endogenous Osx associated with native Bsp promoter in primary osteoblasts. Our observations provide evidence that Osx targets Bsp expression directly.

As a biocompatible and low cytotoxic nanomaterial, graphene oxide (GO) has captured tremendous interests in tissue engineering. However, little is known about the behavior of dental stem cells on GO. This study was to evaluate the bioactivity of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) on GO coated titanium (GO-Ti) substrate in vitro as compared to sodium titanate (Na-Ti) substrate. By scanning electron microscope (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis, we investigated the attachment, morphology, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs on these two substrates. When seeded on GO-Ti substrate, PDLSCs exhibited significantly higher proliferation rate, ALP activity and up-regulated gene expression level of osteogenesis-related markers of collagen type I (COL-I), ALP, bone sialoprotein (BSP), runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteocalcin (OCN) compared with those on Na-Ti substrate. Moreover, GO promoted the protein expression of BSP, Runx2 and OCN. These findings suggest that the combination of GO and PDLSCs provides a promising construct for regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) regulates the induction of antioxidant gene expression and protects cells against oxidative injury. However, there are controversial findings regarding the roles of Nrf2 on bone metabolism under oxidative stress. The role of Nrf2 on the differentiation of radiation-exposed osteoblasts is also unclear. We investigated whether Nrf2 negatively or positively affects osteoblast differentiation in response to irradiation. Irradiation inhibited osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibition was evidenced by the irradiation-mediated decreases in bone-like nodule formation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium accumulation, and expression of osteoblast markers, such as ALP, osteocalcin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, osterix, and Runx2. These reductions were accompanied by increased induction of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), accumulation of cellular oxidants, and depletion of antioxidant defense enzymes. siRNA-mediated silencing of Nrf2 markedly reversed the negative effect of irradiation on osteoblast differentiation of the cells, leading to a decrease in HO-1 and an increase in Runx2 levels. Irradiation-mediated decreases in the levels of Runx2 and osteocalcin mRNA, but not of Nrf2 protein, were also significantly inhibited by HO-1 inhibitor, zinc protoporphyrin IX. Furthermore, N-acetyl cysteine restored all of the changes induced by irradiation to near-normal levels in the cells. These results demonstrate that irradiation inhibits osteoblast differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells through the oxidative stress-mediated activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Smoking Modulates Gene Expression of Type I Collagen, Bone Sialoprotein, and Osteocalcin in Human Alveolar Bone. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2015; 73:2123-31. [PMID: 26188100 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2015.06.168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2014] [Revised: 06/22/2015] [Accepted: 06/22/2015] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Previous animal studies have shown the negative impact of smoking on bone-to-implant contact, and in humans, a decrease in bone density and implant survival over time. However, the effect of smoking on the human alveolar bone regarding the expression of bone-related markers is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of smoking on the gene expression of molecules of bone metabolism in alveolar bone tissue from sites designed to receive dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy specimens of alveolar bone were collected from smokers (n = 19) and nonsmokers (n = 19) from areas planned to receive dental implants. Gene expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, osteoprotegerin (OPG), type I collagen (COL-I), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and osteocalcin (OCN) was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction using glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as a reference gene. The results were assessed using multiple regression analysis, with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS Multiple regression analysis indicated that smoking negatively affected mRNA expression of BSP and OCN and positively altered the expression of COL-I (P < .05) despite age, gender, and arch. Moreover, regression analysis did not show a significant correlation between smoking habit and mRNA levels of TNF-α, TGF-β, and OPG (P > .05). CONCLUSION These results support the hypothesis that some bone markers in alveolar tissue are modulated by smoking, which could explain the negative impact of smoking on bone healing.

Insulin-like growth factor-II regulates bone sialoprotein gene transcription. Odontology 2015; 104:271-81.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-I and -II (IGF-I and IGF-II) have been found in bone extracts of several different species, and IGF-II is the most abundant growth factor stored in bone. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a noncollagenous extracellular matrix glycoprotein associated with mineralized connective tissues. In this study, we have investigated the regulation of BSP transcription by IGF-II in rat osteoblast-like ROS17/2.8 cells. IGF-II (50 ng/ml) increased BSP mRNA and protein levels after 6-h stimulation, and enhanced luciferase activities of the constructs pLUC3 (-116 to +60), pLUC4 (-425 to +60), pLUC5 (-801 to +60) and pLUC6 (-938 to +60). Effects of IGF-II were inhibited by tyrosine kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, and abrogated by 2-bp mutations in cAMP response element (CRE), FGF2 response element (FRE) and homeodomain protein-binding site (HOX). The results of gel shift assays showed that nuclear proteins binding to CRE, FRE and HOX sites were increased by IGF-II (50 ng/ml) at 3 and 6 h. CREB1, phospho-CREB1, c-Fos and c-Jun antibodies disrupted the formation of the CRE-protein complexes. Dlx5 and Runx2 antibodies disrupted the FRE- and HOX-protein complex formations. These studies therefore demonstrated that IGF-II increased BSP transcription by targeting CRE, FRE and HOX elements in the proximal promoter of the rat BSP gene. Moreover, phospho-CREB1, c-Fos, c-Jun, Dlx5 and Runx2 transcription factors appear to be key regulators of IGF-II effects on BSP transcription.

Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a bone marrow stromal fibroblast-derived cytokine with a wide spectrum of activities in different biological systems. IL-11 and IL-6 are two cytokines known to rely on osteoblast-osteoclast communication for their effects on osteoclast differentiation. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a mineralized connective tissue-specific protein expressed in differentiated osteoblasts, odontoblasts, and cementoblasts. To determine the molecular basis of the transcriptional regulation of the human BSP gene by IL-11, we conducted real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR), transient transfection analyses with chimeric constructs of the human BSP gene promoter linked to a luciferase reporter gene, gel mobility shift assays, and a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay using human osteoblast-like Saos2 cells. IL-11 (20 ng/ml) increased BSP, Runx2, and Osterix mRNA levels at 6 h and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) mRNA level at 12 h in osteoblast-like Saos2 cells. In a transient transfection assay, IL-11 (20 ng/ml, 12 h) increased luciferase activities of constructs between -60LUC and -868LUC including the human BSP gene promoter. Transcriptional stimulations by IL-11 were partially inhibited in the constructs that included 2-bp mutations in the cAMP response element 1 (CRE1, -72 to -79) and CRE2 (-667 to -674). When mutations were made in pairs of CRE1 and CRE2 in -868LUC, the effect of IL-11 on luciferase activity was almost totally abrogated. Transcriptional activities induced by IL-11 were inhibited by protein kinase A, tyrosine kinase, ERK1/2, and PI3-kinase inhibitors. Gel mobility shift analyses showed that IL-11 increased nuclear proteins binding to CRE1 and CRE2. CREB1, phospho-CREB1, c-Fos, and c-Jun antibodies disrupted the formation of CRE1 and CRE2 protein complexes. These data demonstrate that IL-11 stimulates BSP gene transcription via CRE1 and CRE2 elements in the human BSP gene promoter.

Response of stem cells from different origins to biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramics. Cell Tissue Res 2015; 361:477-95.

Abstract
Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramics have been successfully applied in a broad variety of presentation forms and with different ratios of hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). BCPs have been loaded with stem cells from different origins for bone tissue engineering purposes, but evidence of stem cell behavior on different compositions (various HA/β-TCP ratios) and physical features of BCPs is limited. We compared the adhesion, proliferation, viability and osteogenic potential of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on granular BCPs with equal HA/β-TCP ratio of diverse particle sizes and on porous blocks which had different chemical compositions. In addition, the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was compared to adipose-derived (ADSC) and dental pulp (DPSC) stem cells, as well as to pre-osteoblasts on a particulate BCP. MSCs growing on granular BCPs demonstrated increased number as compared to MSCs growing on blocks. Cells proliferated to a greater extent on small granular BCPs, while large granular BCPs and blocks promoted cell differentiation. Surprisingly, the expression of genes involved in osteogenesis was upregulated in MSCs on bioceramics in basal medium which indicates that BCPs may have osteoinductive potential. This was confirmed with the upregulation of osteochondrogenic markers, at different time points, when stem cells from various tissues were grown on the BCP. This study demonstrates that BCPs, depending on their physical features and chemical composition, modulate stem cell behavior, and that stem cells from different origins are inherently distinct in their gene expression profile and can be triggered toward osteochondrogenic fate by BCPs.

Abstract
The biochemical and biophysical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) dictate tissue-specific cell behaviour. The molecules that are associated with the ECM of each tissue, including collagens, proteoglycans, laminins and fibronectin, and the manner in which they are assembled determine the structure and the organization of the resultant ECM. The product is a specific ECM signature that is comprised of unique compositional and topographical features that both reflect and facilitate the functional requirements of the tissue.
