Abstract
Cell-based therapies using periodontal ligament stromal cells (PDLSC) for periodontal regeneration may represent an alternative source for mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) to MSC derived from bone marrow (MSC(M)) and adipose tissue (MSC(AT)). We aimed to characterize the osteogenic/periodontal potential of PDLSC in comparison to MSC(M) and MSC(AT). PDLSC were obtained from surgically extracted healthy human third molars, while MSC(M) and MSC(AT) were obtained from a previously established cell bank. Flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and cell proliferation analyses provided cellular characteristics from each group. Cells from the three groups presented MSC-like morphology, MSC-related marker expression, and multilineage differentiation capacity (adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic). In this study, PDLSC expressed osteopontin, osteocalcin, and asporin, while MSC(M) and MSC(AT) did not. Of note, only PDLSC expressed CD146, a marker previously applied to identify PDLSC, and presented higher proliferative potential compared to MSC(M) and MSC(AT). Upon osteogenic induction, PDLSC exhibited higher calcium content and enhanced upregulation of osteogenic/periodontal genes compared to MSC(M) and MSC(AT), such as Runx2, Col1A1 and CEMP-1. However, the alkaline phosphatase activity of PDLSC did not increase. Our findings suggest that PDLSC might be a promising cell source for periodontal regeneration, presenting enhanced proliferative and osteogenic potential compared to MSC(M) and MSC(AT).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tissue differentiation is regulated by transcription factors. This study aimed to identify candidate transcription factors that induce periodontal ligament (PDL) cell differentiation in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). METHODS Human PDL tissues were scraped from the root surfaces of extracted teeth for orthodontic treatment and cultured using the explant culture method. We used RNA-seq to generate gene expression profiles of third-passage PDL cells and compared them with those of undifferentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neural crest (NC) cells (publicly available data). RESULTS Primary cultured PDL cells exhibited a spindle-shaped fibroblast-like appearance and the gene expression of several PDL cell-specific markers. The gene expression profiles of PDL cells were relatively similar to those of hESC-derived NC cells but not those of undifferentiated hiPSCs. Thirty-seven transcription factors were identified as upregulated genes in PDL cells. Pathway analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were enriched in several functional groups and pathways, including the SMAD 2/3 nuclear pathway. CONCLUSIONS We identified 37 upregulated transcription genes in primary cultured PDL cells compared with hESC-derived NC cells. Regulating these genes and the SMAD signaling pathway may be promising ways to induce PDL cells from hPSC-derived NC cells.

Abstract
Introduction Periodontal ligament is regenerated in association with hard tissue regeneration. Tenomodulin (Tnmd) expression has been confirmed in periodontal ligament and it reportedly inhibits angiogenesis or is involved in collagen fibril maturation. The introduction of Tnmd by gene transfection in bone tissue regeneration therapy might inhibit topical hard tissue formation and induce the formation of dense fibrous tissue. Therefore, the effect of Tnmd introduction by gene transfection technique in vitro and in vivo was investigated in this study. Methods Osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related gene expression levels in osteoblastic cells (MC3T3E1) and rat bone marrow derived cells were detected using qPCR three days after gene transfection with plasmid DNA (Tnmd) using non-viral gene transfection vectors: a calcium phosphate-based gene transfection vector (CaP(Tnmd)) or a cationic polymer-based reagent (JetPEI (Tnmd)). Next, an atelocollagen scaffold with or without CaP (Tnmd) or JetPEI (Tnmd) was implanted into a rat calvaria bone defect, and the remaining bone defect volume and the tissue reaction at 28 days after surgery were evaluated. Results Runx 2 and SP7 mRNA was reduced by JetPEI (Tnmd) in both cells, but not in CaP(Tnmd). The volume of expressed Tnmd was at 9 ng/mL in both gene transfection vector. The remaining bone defect volume of JetPEI (Tnmd) was significantly bigger than that of the other groups and CaP (EGFP), and that of CaP (Tnmd) was significantly bigger than that of CaP (EGFP). Conclusions Tnmd introduction treatment inhibits bone formation in artificial bone defect, however, the effect of that was dependent on non-viral gene transfection vector.

Effect of Different Parameters of In Vitro Static Tensile Strain on Human Periodontal Ligament Cells Simulating the Tension Side of Orthodontic Tooth Movement. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031525. [PMID: 35163446 PMCID: PMC8835937 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different magnitudes and durations of static tensile strain on human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs), focusing on osteogenesis, mechanosensing and inflammation. Static tensile strain magnitudes of 0%, 3%, 6%, 10%, 15% and 20% were applied to hPDLCs for 1, 2 and 3 days. Cell viability was confirmed via live/dead cell staining. Reference genes were tested by reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and assessed. The expressions of TNFRSF11B, ALPL, RUNX2, BGLAP, SP7, FOS, IL6, PTGS2, TNF, IL1B, IL8, IL10 and PGE2 were analyzed by RT-qPCR and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ALPL and RUNX2 both peaked after 1 day, reaching their maximum at 3%, whereas BGLAP peaked after 3 days with its maximum at 10%. SP7 peaked after 1 day at 6%, 10% and 15%. FOS peaked after 3 days with its maximum at 3%, 6% and 15%. The expressions of IL6 and PTGS2 both peaked after 1 day, with their minimum at 10%. PGE2 peaked after 1 day (maximum at 20%). The ELISA of IL6 peaked after 3 days, with the minimum at 10%. In summary, the lower magnitudes promoted osteogenesis and caused less inflammation, while the higher magnitudes inhibited osteogenesis and enhanced inflammation. Among all magnitudes, 10% generally caused a lower level of inflammation with a higher level of osteogenesis.

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

Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide enhances the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells via upregulation of cyclin D1, cyclin A and cyclin B1. Exp Ther Med 2021; 23:2.

Abstract
Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) play a notable role in periodontal tissue homeostasis and regeneration. However, the effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) on the proliferation of hPDLCs remains unclear. The present study investigated the effects of Pg-LPS on the proliferation profile of hPDLCs, and the involvement of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases in the process. hPDLCs were treated with Pg-LPS, and cell proliferation and cycle were detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 assays and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression levels of the cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), including cyclins A, B1, D1 and D2 and CDK1, 2 and 4, were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The protein expression levels of cyclins A, B1 and D1 were analysed using western blotting. The proliferation of hPDLCs was significantly increased after treatment with Pg-LPS at the concentrations of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µg/ml for 24, 36 and 48 h compared with the cells cultured without LPS (P<0.01). The proliferation index of hPDLCs was significantly enhanced after treatment with Pg-LPS (0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µg/ml) for 24 h (P<0.01). However, the S-phase fraction (SPF) only significantly increased after treatment with Pg-LPS at 0.01 µg/ml for 24 h (P<0.05), while the G2/M-phase fraction increased (P<0.01) and the G0/G1-phase fraction decreased (P<0.01) compared with the controls. The proliferation index and SPF increased, peaked at 24 h and then decreased at 48 h in both Pg-LPS-stimulated and control groups. Notably, Pg-LPS significantly upregulated the expression levels of cyclins D1, A and B1 after 24 h compared with those in the controls. Overall, the present study indicated that Pg-LPS may enhance the proliferation of hPDLCs, potentially through upregulation of cyclins D1, A and B1.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), as potential "seed cells" for periodontal tissue repair and regeneration, require to be expanded in vitro for a large scale. Senescence of PDLSCs occurred during long-term culture may compromise the therapeutic effects of PDLSCs. Medium supplements may be useful in antisenescence. However, the effects and mechanisms of vitamin C (Vc) treatment on PDLSCs during long-term culture are still unclear. In this study, we identified that Vc-treated PDLSCs cells maintained a slender morphology, higher growth rate and migration capacity, stemness, and osteogenic differentiation capability during a long-term culture. Moreover, we also identified that Notch3 was significantly upregulated during the cell senescence, and Vc treatment alleviated the senescence of PDLSCs through inhibition of Notch3 during long-term culture. In summary, Vc treatment suppressed PDLSCs senescence by reducing the expression of Notch3 and might be a simple and useful strategy to inhibit cellular senescence during the cell long-term culture.

Abstract
Reasons for the development of chronic tendon pathologies are still under debate and more basic knowledge is needed about the different diseases. The aim of the present study was therefore to characterize different acute and chronic Achilles tendon disorders. Achilles tendon samples from patients with chronic tendinopathy (n = 7), chronic ruptures (n = 6), acute ruptures (n = 13), and intact tendons (n = 4) were analyzed. The histological score investigating pathological changes was significantly increased in tendinopathy and chronic ruptures compared to acute ruptures. Inflammatory infiltration was detected by immunohistochemistry in all tendon pathology groups, but was significantly lower in tendinopathy compared to chronic ruptures. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed significantly altered expression of genes related to collagens and matrix modeling/remodeling (matrix metalloproteinases, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases) in tendinopathy and chronic ruptures compared to intact tendons and/or acute ruptures. In all three tendon pathology groups markers of inflammation (interleukin (IL) 1β, tumor necrosis factor α, IL6, IL10, IL33, soluble ST2, transforming growth factor β1, cyclooxygenase 2), inflammatory cells (cluster of differentaition (CD) 3, CD68, CD80, CD206), fat metabolism (fatty acid binding protein 4, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α, adiponectin), and innervation (protein gene product 9.5, growth associated protein 43, macrophage migration inhibitory factor) were detectable, but only in acute ruptures significantly regulated compared to intact tendons. The study gives an insight into structural and molecular changes of pathological processes in tendons and might be used to identify targets for future therapy of tendon pathologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-OH D3) plays an important role in mineralized tissue metabolism, including teeth. However, few studies have addressed its role in odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp-stem cells (hDPSCs). AIM This study aimed to understand the influence of various concentrations of 1,25-OH D3 on the proliferation capacity and early dentinogenesis responses of hDPSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS hDPSCs were obtained from the impacted third molar teeth. Monolayer cultured cells were incubated with a differentiation medium containing different concentrations of 1,25-OH D3 (0.001, 0.01, and 0.1 µM). All groups were evaluated by S-phase rate [immunohistochemical (IHC) bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) staining], STRO-1 and dentin sialoprotein (DSP)+ levels (IHC), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)) levels. RESULTS The number of cells that entered the S-phase was determined to be the highest and lowest in the control and 0.001 µM 1,25-OH D3 groups, respectively. The 0.1 µM vitamin D3 group had the highest increase in DSP+ levels. The highest Stro-1 levels were detected in the control and 0.1 µM 1,25-OH D3 groups, respectively. The 0.1 µM 1,25-OH D3 induced a mild increase in ALP activity. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that 1,25-OH D3 stimulated odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. The high DSP + cell number and a mild increase in ALP activity suggest that DPSCs treated with 0.1 μM 1,25-OH D3 are in the later stage of odontoblastic differentiation. The results confirm that 1,25-OH D3-added cocktail medium provides a sufficient microenvironment for the odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) is the connective tissue between tooth root and alveolar bone containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). It has been suggested that human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) differentiate into osteo/cementoblast and ligament progenitor cells. The periodontitis is a representative oral disease where the PDL tissue is collapsed, and regeneration of this tissue is important in periodontitis therapy. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) stimulates proliferation and differentiation of fibroblastic MSCs into various cell lineages. We evaluated the dose efficacy of FGF-2 for cytodifferentiation of hPDLSCs into ligament progenitor. The fibrous morphology was highly stimulated even at low FGF-2 concentrations, and the expression of teno/ligamentogenic markers, scleraxis and tenomodulin in hPDLSCs increased in a dose dependent manner of FGF-2. In contrast, expression of the osteo/cementogenic markers decreased, suggesting that FGF-2 might induce and maintain the ligamentogenic potential of hPDLSCs. Although the stimulation of tenocytic maturation by TGF-β1 was diminished by FGF-2, the inhibition of the expression of early ligamentogenic marker by TGF-β1 was redeemed by FGF-2 treatment. The stimulating effect of BMPs on osteo/cementogenesis was apparently suppressed by FGF-2. These results indicate that FGF-2 predominantly differentiates the hPDLSCs into teno/ligamentogenesis, and has an antagonistic effect on the hard tissue differentiation induced by BMP-2 and BMP-4.

Tenomodulin is Required for Tendon Endurance Running and Collagen I Fibril Adaptation to Mechanical Load. EBioMedicine 2017; 20:240-254.

Abstract
Tendons are dense connective tissues that attach muscles to bone with an indispensable role in locomotion because of their intrinsic properties of storing and releasing muscle- generated elastic energy. Tenomodulin (Tnmd) is a well-accepted gene marker for the mature tendon/ligament lineage and its loss-of -function in mice leads to a phenotype with distinct signs of premature aging on tissue and stem/progenitor cell levels. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that Tnmd might be an important factor in the functional performance of tendons. Firstly, we revealed that Tnmd is a mechanosensitive gene and that the C-terminus of the protein co-localize with collagen I-type fibers in the extracellular matrix. Secondly, using an endurance training protocol, we compared Tnmd knockout mice with wild types and showed that Tnmd deficiency leads to significantly inferior running performance that further worsens with training. In these mice, endurance running was hindered due to abnormal response of collagen I cross-linking and proteoglycan genes leading to an inadequate collagen I fiber thickness and elasticity. In sum, our study demonstrates that Tnmd is required for proper tendon tissue adaptation to endurance running and aids in better understanding of the structural-functional relationships of tendon tissues. Tnmd is a mechanosensitive gene and its protein is co-localized with collagen I fibers in the ECM of tendons. Tnmd knockout mice fail in endurance running tests, a phenotype that worsens with training. Tnmd knockout tendons had significantly thicker and stiffer collagen I fibers and altered crosslinking gene expression.
We performed a multidisciplinary approach to decipher the role of tenomodulin, a gene marker for the mature tendon lineage, in tendon functional performance. Loss-of-function in mice led to significantly inferior endurance running and detailed analyses revealed that tenomodulin is involved in the regulation of collagen I fiber structural and biomechanical properties in response to exercise. Our study expands the current view on the complex structural-functional relationships of tendon tissues, and tenomodulin expression levels may indicate whether an individual is suitable for a certain sport.

Abstract
Tenomodulin (TNMD, Tnmd) is a gene highly expressed in tendon known to be important for tendon maturation with key implications for the residing tendon stem/progenitor cells as well as for the regulation of endothelial cell migration in chordae tendineae cordis in the heart and in experimental tumour models. This review aims at providing an encompassing overview of this gene and its protein. In addition, its known expression pattern as well as putative signalling pathways will be described. A chronological overview of the discovered functions of this gene in tendon and other tissues and cells is provided as well as its use as a tendon and ligament lineage marker is assessed in detail and discussed. Last, information about the possible connections between TNMD genomic mutations and mRNA expression to various diseases is delivered. Taken together this review offers a solid synopsis on the up-to-date information available about TNMD and aids at directing and focusing the future research to fully uncover the roles and implications of this interesting gene.

Abstract
Recently, gingival margin-derived stem/progenitor cells isolated via STRO-1/magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) showed remarkable periodontal regenerative potential in vivo. As a second-stage investigation, the present study's aim was to perform in vitro characterisation and comparison of the stem/progenitor cell characteristics of sorted STRO-1-positive (MACS+) and STRO-1-negative (MACS−) cell populations from the human free gingival margin. Cells were isolated from the free gingiva using a minimally invasive technique and were magnetically sorted using anti-STRO-1 antibodies. Subsequently, the MACS+ and MACS− cell fractions were characterized by flow cytometry for expression of CD14, CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD146/MUC18 and STRO-1. Colony-forming unit (CFU) and multilineage differentiation potential were assayed for both cell fractions. Mineralisation marker expression was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MACS+ and MACS− cell fractions showed plastic adherence. MACS+ cells, in contrast to MACS− cells, showed all of the predefined mesenchymal stem/progenitor cell characteristics and a significantly higher number of CFUs (P<0.01). More than 95% of MACS+ cells expressed CD105, CD90 and CD73; lacked the haematopoietic markers CD45, CD34 and CD14, and expressed STRO-1 and CD146/MUC18. MACS− cells showed a different surface marker expression profile, with almost no expression of CD14 or STRO-1, and more than 95% of these cells expressed CD73, CD90 and CD146/MUC18, as well as the haematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45 and CD105. MACS+ cells could be differentiated along osteoblastic, adipocytic and chondroblastic lineages. In contrast, MACS− cells demonstrated slight osteogenic potential. Unstimulated MACS+ cells showed significantly higher expression of collagen I (P<0.05) and collagen III (P<0.01), whereas MACS− cells demonstrated higher expression of osteonectin (P<0.05; Mann–Whitney). The present study is the first to compare gingival MACS+ and MACS− cell populations demonstrating that MACS+ cells, in contrast to MACS− cells, harbour stem/progenitor cell characteristics. This study also validates the effectiveness of the STRO-1/MACS+ technique for the isolation of gingival stem/progenitor cells. Human free gingival margin-derived STRO-1/MACS+ cells are a unique renewable source of multipotent stem/progenitor cells.

Abstract
Various cell types have been assessed for experimental periodontal tissue regeneration in a variety of animal models. Nonetheless, the efficacy of cell-based approaches for periodontal regeneration is still controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to systematically review cell-based approaches for periodontal regeneration in animal studies including a meta-analysis to obtain more clarity on their efficacy. The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that cell-based approaches have a favorable effect on periodontal tissue regeneration, as displayed by the positive effect of cell-based approaches on new bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament (PDL) formation in periodontal defects. Moreover, subgroup analysis showed a favorable effect on PDL formation by PDL-derived cells, but not by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, meta-analysis did not show any statistically significant differences in effect between PDL-derived cells and BMSCs. These results provide important information for the implementation of cell-based approaches in clinical practice as a routine treatment for periodontal regeneration in the future.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) has a reservoir of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and this tissue is easily available following teeth removal procedures. However, PDL-derived cells (PDLCs) availability for tissue engineering is limited because they are heterogeneous cells at various differentiation and lineage commitments. Therefore, efficient culture conditions to increase MSCs number are needed to use PDLCs in tissue engineering. Recent reports indicate that low-oxygen conditions amplified stem/progenitor cell numbers and inhibited cell differentiation. Our aim was to establish which low-oxygen culture conditions favored bone or tendon/ligament regeneration in cultured PDLCs. Human PDLCs were cultured and exposed to either hypoxic (O2≤5%) or anoxic (O2<0.1%) oxygen conditions in low-glucose/serum-free media for 24 hours. After 24 h, as expected, cell survival was significantly less in PDLCs exposed to anoxic conditions as compared with cells under normal or hypoxic conditions. PDLCs exposed to hypoxic conditions had the highest percentages for MSC markers (CD105, CD166, Stro-1). For both hypoxic and anoxic conditions, stem cell marker genes (oct4, sox2, p75) were upregulated after 6 h. At 24 h, these stem cell markers were maintained in PDLCs under hypoxic condition. Interestingly under anoxic conditions, expression of scleraxis gene (a key transcription factor for tendo/ligamentogenesis) was upregulated markedly. When hypoxic PDLCs were subcultured into osteogenic medium, in vitro calcification and prominent in vivo bone formation in mice calvaria were observed. When anoxic PDLCs were subcultured into tendo/ligamentogenic medium, expression of aggrecan (a mature tenogenic gene) increased remarkably. No obvious differences were detectable on chondrogenic and adipogenic inducibilities. We propose that transient exposure to low-oxygen during the culture enhanced MSC population in PDL. In addition, different low-oxygen concentrations favored osteogenic or tendo/ligamentogenic inducibilities of cultured PDLCs.

Abstract
Endocannabinoids are associated with multiple regulatory functions in several tissues. The main endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG), have been detected in the gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients, but the association between periodontal disease or human periodontal ligament cells (hPdLCs) and endocannabinoids still remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of AEA and 2-AG on the proliferation/viability and cytokine/chemokine production of hPdLCs in the presence/absence of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis LPS). The proliferation/viability of hPdLCs was measured using 3,4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT)-assay. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) levels were examined at gene expression and protein level by real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. AEA and 2-AG did not reveal any significant effects on proliferation/viability of hPdLCs in the absence of P. gingivalis LPS. However, hPdLCs viability was significantly increased by 10–20 µM AEA in the presence of P. gingivalis LPS (1 µg/ml). In the absence of P. gingivalis LPS, AEA and 2-AG did not exhibit any significant effect on the expression of IL-8 and MCP-1 expression in hPdLCs, whereas IL-6 expression was slightly enhanced by 10 µM 2-AG and not affected by AEA. In P.gingivalis LPS stimulated hPdLCs, 10 µM AEA down-regulated gene-expression and protein production of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1. In contrast, 10 µM 2-AG had an opposite effect and induced a significant up-regulation of gene and protein expression of IL-6 and IL-8 (P<0.05) as well as gene-expression of MCP-1 in P. gingivalis LPS stimulated hPdLCs. Our data suggest that AEA appears to have an anti-inflammatory and immune suppressive effect on hPdLCs’ host response to P.gingivalis LPS, whereas 2-AG appears to promote detrimental inflammatory processes. In conclusion, AEA and 2-AG might play an important role in the modulation of periodontal inflammation.

Human periodontal ligament derived progenitor cells: effect of STRO-1 cell sorting and Wnt3a treatment on cell behavior. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:145423. [PMID: 24864228 PMCID: PMC4020471 DOI: 10.1155/2014/145423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2014] [Revised: 04/08/2014] [Accepted: 04/12/2014] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES STRO-1 positive periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and unsorted PDLCs have demonstrated potential for periodontal regeneration, but the comparison between unsorted cells and the expanded STRO-1 sorted cells has never been reported. Additionally, Wnt3a is involved in cell proliferation thus may benefit in vitro PDLC expansion. The aim was to evaluate the effect of STRO-1 cell sorting and Wnt3a treatment on cell behavior of human PDLCs (hPDLCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS STRO-1 positive hPDLCs were sorted and the sorted cells were expanded and compared with their unsorted parental cells. Thereafter, hPDLCs were treated with or without Wnt3a and the cell proliferation, self-renewal, and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. RESULTS No differences were measured between the expanded STRO-1-sorted cells and unsorted parental cells in terms of proliferation, CFU, and mineralization capacity. Wnt3a enhanced the proliferation and self-renewal ability of hPDLCs significantly as displayed by higher DNA content values, a shorter cell population doubling time, and higher expression of the self-renewal gene Oct4. Moreover, Wnt3a promoted the expansion of hPDLCs for 5 passages without affecting cell proliferation, CFU, and osteogenic capacity. CONCLUSIONS Expanded STRO-1-sorted hPDLCs showed no superiority compared to their unsorted parental cells. On the other hand, Wnt3a promotes the efficient hPDLC expansion and retains the self-renewal and osteogenic differentiation capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Seeding acellularized tendons with cells is an approach for creating tissue-engineered tendon grafts with favorable biomechanical properties. It was the authors' aim to evaluate whether human adipose-derived stem cells could replace tenocytes for scaffold seeding. METHODS Adipose-derived stem cells and tenocytes were co-cultured in different ratios (3:1, 1:1, and 1:3) and with three different methods: (1) direct co-culture, (2) tenocyte-conditioned media on adipose-derived stem cells, and (3) an insert system to keep both cell types in the same media without contact. Proliferation, collagen production, and tenogenic marker expression were measured by hematocytometry, immunocytochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Proliferation and collagen production were similar for tenocytes and adipose-derived stem cells alone. Phenotype difference between adipose-derived stem cells and tenocytes was indicated by higher tenascin C and scleraxis expression in tenocytes. Proliferation was increased in direct co-cultures, especially at an adipose-derived stem cells-to-tenocyte ratio of 3:1, and for tenocytes in adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned media. Direct co-culture caused significant up-regulation in tenascin C expression in adipose-derived stem cells (4.0-fold; p<005). In tenocyte-conditioned media, tenascin C expression was up-regulated 2.5-fold (p<0.05). In the insert system, tenascin C expression was up-regulated 2.3-fold (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Adipose-derived stem cells are good candidates for tendon tissue engineering because they are similar to tenocytes in proliferation and collagen production. With an optimal ratio of 3:1, they increase proliferation in co-culture and change their phenotype toward a tenogenic direction.

Abstract
The ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does not heal spontaneously. Therefore, the development of new healing techniques employing tissue engineering is vital. One of the aspects related to tissue-engineered artificial ligaments is the type of cell to be used for the artificial ligament. In this study, ligament cells from the ACL and periodontal ligament (PDL) were evaluated. In addition, we prepared highly oriented extracellular matrix (ECM) fiber scaffolds that mimicked the structure of the ligament and examined the cellular responses to these scaffolds. Elastin-A and collagen were used as the ECM proteins. Although the cells from the PDL (PDL fibroblasts [PDLFs]) showed approximately 2.1-fold higher expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP; marker of osteogenic differentiation) than the ACL cells, the expression of ligament-related genes (for type I collagen, type III collagen, and tenomodulin) did not differ between PDLFs and ACL cells. Furthermore, the cellular responses (expression pattern of ligament-related genes and ALP activity) to the ECM were similar between ACL cells and PDLFs. In particular, elastin-A upregulated ALP and downregulated tenomodulin (TeM; a ligament marker) in ligament cells. In contrast, collagen maintained TeM expression in ligament cells. These results suggest that elastin-A promotes the osteogenic differentiation of ligament cells and that collagen maintains the phenotype of ligament cells.

Abstract
Tendon/ligament injures are leading disabilities worldwide. The periodontal ligament (PDL) connects teeth to bone, and is comparable to a tendon/ligament-to-bone insertion. PDL-derived cells (PDLCs) express both osteo/cementogenesis and teno/ligamentogenesis genes. However, an efficient method to induce a tenogenic differentiation of PDLCs has not been thoroughly examined. Therefore, this study tested if growth/differentiation factors (GDFs) enhanced tenogenic characteristics of human PDLCs, as a potential cell source for tendon/ligament engineering. Results demonstrated recombinant GDF-5/GDF-7 inhibited alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of PDLCs from passage 3 to 6, while GDF-5 enhanced ALP in dental pulp-derived cells and mesenchymal stem cells. GDF-5 (particularly at 10 ng/ml concentration) induced high expression of both early (scleraxis) and mature (tenomodulin, aggrecan, collagen3) tenogenic genes in P4-6 PDLCs, while inhibiting expression of specific transcription-factors for osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Exogenous GDFs might lead PDLCs being expanded in culture during several passages to highly useful cell source for tendon/ligament engineering.

Abstract
Loss of teeth increases with age or after genotoxic treatments, like head and neck radiotherapy, due to periodontium breakdown. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts represent the main cell type in this tissue and are crucial for the maintenance of homeodynamics and for its regeneration. Here, we have studied the characteristics of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF) that became senescent after replicative exhaustion or after exposure to ionizing radiation, as well as their ability for osteoblastic differentiation. We found that senescent hPDLF express classical markers of senescence, as well as a catabolic phenotype, as shown by the decrease in collagen type I and the increase of MMP-2 expression. In addition, we observed a considerably decreased expression of the major transcription factor for osteoblastic differentiation, i.e. Runx2, a down-regulation which was found to be p53-dependent. In accordance to the above, senescent cells have a significantly decreased alkaline phosphatase gene expression and activity, as well as a reduced ability for osteoblastic differentiation, as found by Alizarin Red staining. Interestingly, cells from both type of senescence express similar characteristics, implying analogous functions in vivo. In conclusion, senescent hPDLF express a catabolic phenotype and express a significantly decreased ability towards an osteoblastic differentiation, thus probably affecting tissue development and integrity.

Abstract
Tendon bone healing of the rotator cuff is often associated with non-healing or recurrent defects, which seems to be influenced by the patient’s age and sex. The present study aims to examine cellular biological characteristics of tenocyte-like cells that may contribute to this impaired rotator cuff healing. Moreover, a therapeutic approach using growth factors could possibly stimulate tendon bone healing. Therefore, our second aim was to identify patient groups who would particularly benefit from growth factor stimulation. Tenocyte-like cells isolated from supraspinatus tendons of female donors younger and older than 65 years of age were characterized with respect to different cellular biological parameters, such as cell density, cell count, marker expression, collagen-I protein synthesis, and stem cell potential. Furthermore, cells of the donor groups were stimulated with BMP-2 and BMP-7 (200 and 1000 ng/ml) in 3D-culture and analyzed for cell count, marker expression and collagen-I protein synthesis. Female donors older than 65 years of age showed significantly decreased cell count and collagen-I protein synthesis compared to cells from donors younger than 65 years. Cellular biological parameters including cell count, collagen-I and –III expression, and collagen-I protein synthesis of cells from both donor groups were stimulated with BMP-2 and BMP-7. The cells from donors older than 65 years revealed a decreased stimulation potential for cell count compared to the younger group. Cells from female donors older than 65 years of age showed inferior cellular biological characteristics. This may be one reason for a weaker healing potential observed in older female patients and should be taken into consideration for tendon bone healing of the rotator cuff.

Abstract
Tenomodulin (Tnmd) is a type II transmembrane protein characteristically expressed in dense connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Its expression in the periodontal ligament (PDL) has also been demonstrated, though the timing and function remain unclear. We investigated the expression of Tnmd during murine tooth eruption and explored its biological functions in vitro. Tnmd expression was related to the time of eruption when occlusal force was transferred to the teeth and surrounding tissues. Tnmd overexpression enhanced cell adhesion in NIH3T3 and human PDL cells. In addition, Tnmd-knockout fibroblasts showed decreased cell adhesion. In the extracellular portions of Tnmd, the BRICHOS domain or CS region was found to be responsible for Tnmd-mediated enhancement of cell adhesion. These results suggest that Tnmd acts on the maturation or maintenance of the PDL by positively regulating cell adhesion via its BRICHOS domain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stem cells have been isolated by their ability to efflux Hoechst 33342 dye and are referred to as the side population (SP). Because the lack of specific surface markers has hindered the isolation and subsequent biochemical characterization of dental pulp stem cells, this study sought to determine the existence of SP cells and the expression of ABCG2 in human dental pulp and evaluate whether such SP cells had features associated with stem cells. METHODS First, we defined the localization of the SP in healthy and inflammatory human dental pulp. Then, SP cells were isolated from human dental pulp after ischemic culture with flow cytometry and the Hoechst 33342 dye efflux assay. Sorted cells were subjected to several tests to determine whether the isolated SP cells displayed features consistent with the stem cell phenotype, including the colony-forming capacity, the multilineage differentiation ability in vitro, and the expression of stem cell markers. We also evaluated the effect of long-term culture on the marker ABCG2. RESULTS SP cells in human dental pulp possess mesenchymal stem cell characteristics such as colony-forming efficiency, self-renewal, and multilineage differentiation capabilities and are able to differentiate into odontoblast/osteoblast-like cells, adipocytes, neural-like cells, and endothelial cells. However, under the present conditions, ABCG2 expression decreased along with cell passage. CONCLUSIONS SP cells in human dental pulp were enriched in stem cells compared with main population cells after ischemic culture, suggesting a potential use for these subfractions of human dental pulp stem/progenitor cells in tissue engineering, but the culture condition in vitro should be improved before tissue regeneration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) are a type of mesenchymal stem cells found in the developing tissue, apical papilla, of immature permanent teeth. Studies have shown that SCAP are likely to be a source of primary odontoblasts that are responsible for the formation of root dentin. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a signaling molecule and pleiotropic growth factor involved in tooth root development, and it promotes proliferation of a variety of cell types. The effects of bFGF on SCAP, however, have not been examined. METHODS We investigated the regulatory effects of bFGF on the proliferation and differentiation potential of human SCAP in vitro. Changes in the cell cycle and proliferation, colony-forming unit-fibroblastic formation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteogenic/dentinogenic differentiation, and stem cell gene makers of SCAP, cultured in the presence or absence of bFGF, were evaluated. RESULTS Treatment with 5 ng/mL bFGF significantly increased SCAP proliferation and their colony-forming unit-fibroblastic formation efficiency. The growth factor also increased the expression of STRO-1 and the stem cell gene makers Nanog, Oct4, Sox2, and Rex1 in SCAP. In contrast, bFGF reduced the ALP activity, mineral nodule formation, and the expression of ALP, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, and dentin sialophosphoprotein. When SCAP cultures were expanded in the presence of bFGF for 1 week, subsequent stimulation of the osteogenic/dentinogenic condition resulted in enhanced differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Under certain conditions, bFGF enhances SCAP stemness by up-regulating stem cell gene expression, increasing proliferation ability, and potentiating differentiation potency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of growth differentiation factor 5 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 on human periodontal ligament-derived cells was investigated with special reference to tendo/ligamentogenesis-related markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Effects of each factor were analyzed by quantitative PCR for scleraxis and tenomodulin and by western blotting for scleraxis. After exposure to those factors, STRO-1-positive and STRO-1-negative fractions of human periodontal ligament tissues were isolated with an immunomagnetic cell sorting system, and the expression of scleraxis in each fraction was analyzed by western blotting. Non-separated crude cells were used as a control. RESULTS Growth differentiation factor 5 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 did not increase alkaline phosphatase activity in crude periodontal ligament-derived cells. Growth differentiation factor 5, but not bone morphogenetic protein 2, increased the expression of scleraxis in crude, STRO-1-positive and STRO-1-negative periodontal ligament-derived cells. The expression of scleraxis in STRO-1-positive periodontal ligament-derived cells was significantly less compared to that in crude P2 and STRO-1-negative periodontal ligament-derived cells. CONCLUSION Growth differentiation factor 5 induced the expression of scleraxis and may enhance tendo/ligamentogenesis in human periodontal ligament-derived cells. The expression of scleraxis was higher in STRO-1-negative fraction, suggesting more differentiated state of the cells.

Abstract
Dental follicle cells (DFCs) are believed contain the precursor cells of the periodontium and can form cell sheets by secreting extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Cell sheet engineering has been recently developed and applied successfully in the field of tissue regeneration. However, research on the in vitro characteristics of DFC sheets is lacking and an assessment of whether DFC sheets can produce periodontal tissues in vivo has not been reported. To test the characteristics and applicability of DFC sheets in this field, we established a co-culture system of rat DFCs and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells in vitro, and included the following controls: a co-culture of DFCs and alveolar mucosa epithelial cells, DFCs with no cells in the upper chamber, and DFCs cultured without an upper chamber. After 3 weeks of co-culturing the cells, the DFC sheets were transplanted into adult male rats' omenta. One week after co-culturing DFCs with HERS cells, mRNA levels of collagen type I (COL-1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx 2) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) were increased significantly. In addition, after 3 weeks of co-culturing the cells, the numbers of ALP-, osteocalcin (OCN)-, BSP- and osteoprotegerin (OPG)-positive DFCs increased. The DFCs also produced more calcified nodules and exhibited an increased number of subcellular organelles, which are important for protein synthesis and secretion. Moreover, gap junctions were found between the experimental DFCs within the sheet. Five weeks of in vivo growth of DFC sheets pre-exposed to HERS cells led to the formation of cementum-like tissues, which were positive for OCN, BSP and OPG, as well as the formation of periodontal ligament-like tissues, which were positive for COL-1. In contrast, control cells only produced fibrous tissues. These results indicate that the DFC sheets induced by HERS cells are able to produce periodontal tissues through epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Therefore, DFC sheets may be useful in the field of periodontium regeneration.

Implications of cultured periodontal ligament cells for the clinical and experimental setting: a review. Arch Oral Biol 2011; 56:933-43. [PMID: 21470594 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2011.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2010] [Revised: 02/08/2011] [Accepted: 03/06/2011] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a key contributor to the process of regeneration of the periodontium. The heterogeneous nature of the PDL tissue, its development during early adulthood, and the different conditions to which the PDL tissue is exposed to in vivo impart on the PDL unique characteristics that may be of consequence during its cultivation in vitro. Several factors affecting the in vivo setting influence the behaviour of PDL fibroblasts in culture. The purpose of this review is to address distinct factors that influence the behaviour of PDL fibroblasts in culture -in vivo-in vitro transitions, cell identification/isolation markers, primary PDL cultures and cell lines, tooth-specific factors, and donor-specific factors. Based on the reviewed studies, the authors recommendations include the use of several identification markers to confirm cell identity, use of primary cultures at early passage to maintain unique PDL heterogeneic characteristics, and noting donor conditions such as age, systemic health status, and tooth health status. Continued efforts will expand our understanding of the in vitro and in vivo behaviour of cells, with the goal of orchestrating optimal periodontal regeneration. This understanding will lead to improved evidence-based rationales for more individualized and predictable periodontal regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Antlers as a potential model for bone growth and development have become an object of rising interest. To elucidate processes explaining how antler growth is regulated, in vitro cultures have been established. However, until now, there has been no standard method to cultivate antler cells and in vitro results are often opposite to those reported in vivo. In addition, many factors which are often not taken into account under in vitro conditions may play an important role in the development of antler cells. In this study we investigated the effects of the antler growth stage, the male individuality, passaged versus primary cultures and the effect of foetal calf serum concentrations on proliferative potential of mixed antler cell cultures in vitro, derived from regenerating antlers of red deer males (Cervus elaphus). The proliferation potential of antler cells was measured by incorporation of (3)H thymidine. Our results demonstrate that there is no significant effect of the antler growth stage, whereas male individuality and all other examined factors significantly affected antler cell proliferation. Furthermore, our results suggest that primary cultures may better represent in vivo conditions and processes occurring in regenerating antlers. In conclusion, before all main factors affecting antler cell proliferation in vitro will be satisfactorily investigated, results of in vitro studies focused on hormonal regulation of antler growth should be taken with extreme caution.

Abstract
AIM Periodontal ligament (PDL) is a reliable cell source for periodontal regeneration. In this study, an optimal protocol for the extraction, expansion, and characterization of human PDL (hPDL) cells was examined for clinical trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS hPDL tissues were obtained from 41 surgically extracted teeth and digested with enzymes. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs), and gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) were used for comparison. For each sample, the proliferative capacity, colony-forming ability, alkaline phosphatase activity, differentiation ability, the cell surface antigens, gene expression, and regenerative potential were examined. RESULTS hPDL cells were more successfully extracted with collagenase/dispase [29/30 (96.7%)] than with trypsin/EDTA [8/11 (72.7%)], and exhibited osteogenic potential both in vitro and in vivo. The proliferation of hPDL cells was rapid at a low cell density. hPDL cells frequently differentiated into cementoblastic/osteoblastic lineage (∼60%). In contrast, their adipogenic and chondrogenic potentials were lower than those of hADSCs and hBMMSCs. Some genes (NCAM1, S100A4, and periostin) were preferentially expressed in hPDL cells compared with those of hBMMSCs and hGFs. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the expressions of S100A4 and periostin in hPDL tissue. CONCLUSION A protocol for the successful cultivation and validation of hPDL cells is proposed for clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal ligament cells are fibroblast-like cells characterized by collagen production but also possessing some osteoblastic features. In the light of numerous studies presented during recent times, which show that human periodontal ligament cells also produce cytokines and chemokines in response to inflammation promoters, it is reasonable to suggest that periodontal ligament cells play a role as promoters of periodontal inflammation through these mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS The periodontal ligament, which harbours the periodontal ligament cells, is a part of the attachment apparatus comprised of periodontal ligament cells, extracellular matrix and fibres, attaching the root cement to the alveolar bone. Periodontal ligament cells are in close proximity to bacteria within the plaque and the pocket, and thus these cells are readily accessible to bacterial endotoxins and other promoters of inflammation. RESULTS Cytokines and chemokines, released by periodontal ligament cells upon stimulation with inflammation promoters, reach the blood vessels easily thanks to rich vascularization of the periodontium stimulating recruitment of white blood cells to the site of inflammation. In addition to classical inflammatory cells, such as leucocytes, macrophages and mast cells, the periodontal ligament cells also contribute to periodontal inflammation via their production and release of cytokines and chemokines. CONCLUSION Therefore, pharmacological treatment of periodontitis should aim to reduce the release of proinflammatory agents not only from classical inflammatory cells but also from periodontal ligament cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cyclosporin A (CsA) is widely used to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. However, it also causes several side-effects, including gingival overgrowth and bone resorption. Cellular mechanisms underlying the effect of CsA on periodontal tissue remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of CsA on the proliferation and expression of characteristic markers in periodontal ligament cells (PDLs). MATERIAL AND METHODS The proliferation and viability of PDLs were measured by direct cell counting and 3,4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, respectively. mRNA expression levels of the specific proteins alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC) and collagen type 1 (Coll-1) were quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Finally, ALP activity of PDLs was investigated using a specific colorimetric assay. RESULTS We found that proliferation of PDLs was stimulated by 0.01–0.1 μg/ml CsA and unaffected by 1 μg/ml CsA. The viability of PDLs was increased by 0.1 μg/ml CsA and not affected by 0.01 μg/ml and 1 μg/ml CsA. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of ALP, OC and Coll-1 in PDLs were significantly increased upon stimulation with 0.1 μg/ml CsA for 24 h or by stimulation with 0.01 μg/ml CsA for 48 h. In contrast, significantly lower expression levels of all three proteins in PDLs were observed upon stimulation with 1 μg/ml CsA for 48 h. The ALP activity of PDLs exhibited a similar pattern of changes upon CsA stimulation. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrated that CsA may influence both the proliferation and differentiation of human PDLs, which may play an important role in the homeostasis of periodontal tissue.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) on the growth and differentiation of porcine dental papilla- and follicle-derived cells was investigated. Furthermore, the effect was compared with that of BMP-2. Recombinant mouse GDF-5 (rmGDF-5) enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in dental papilla-derived cells in a dose-dependent manner, while ALP activity in dental follicle-derived cells was reduced. In rmGDF-5 stimulated dental papilla-derived cells, the expressions of odontoblast-marker genes were up-regulated. Conversely, recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) enhanced ALP activity dose-dependently in both dental papilla- and follicle-derived cells. When combined, GDF-5 did not further enhance BMP-2-induced ALP activities. Rather, GDF-5 reduced BMP-2-induced ALP activities in both dental papilla- and follicle-derived cells. This suggests that affinity of GDF-5 to the shared receptors may be higher than that of BMP-2 in both cell types. These observations indicate that GDF-5 regulates differentiation of both dental papilla and follicle during odontogenesis, co-operatively with other growth factors such as BMP-2.
