Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, also called chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) or small inducible cytokine A2, is an inflammatory mediator capable of recruiting monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells. CCL2 is a member of the CC chemokine superfamily, which binds to its receptor, C-C motif chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2), for the induction of chemotactic activity and an increase of calcium influx. It exerts multiple effects on a variety of cells, including monocytes, macrophages, osteoclasts, basophils, and endothelial cells, and is involved in a diverse range of diseases. This review discusses the molecular structure and role of CCL2 and CCR2 in skeletal biology and disease. Molecular structure analyses reveal that CCL2 shares a conserved C-C motif; however, it has only limited sequence homology with other CCL family members. Likewise, CCR2, as a member of the G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor superfamily, shares conserved cysteine residues, but exhibits very limited sequence homology with other CCR family members. In the skeletal system, the expression of CCL2 is regulated by a variety of factors, such as parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related peptide, interleukin 1b, tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-beta, RANKL, and mechanical forces. The interaction of CCL2 and CCR2 activates several signaling cascades, including PI3K/Akt/ERK/NF-κB, PI3K/MAPKs, and JAK/STAT-1/STAT-3. Understanding the role of CCL2 and CCR2 will facilitate the development of novel therapies for skeletal disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteolysis and other inflammatory diseases related to abnormal chemotaxis.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1α (IL-1α) are increased in teeth with periapical lesions. Primary teeth with periapical lesions have a propensity for accelerated eruption of the successors. In this study, we asked whether increased levels of IL-1α in the dental follicle (DF) occurring as the result of periapical lesions promote tooth eruption, possibly due to enhanced osteoclastic remodeling of DF cells (DFCs). To this end, we studied the effect and possible mechanism of IL-1α on osteogenic differentiation, osteoclastogenic activity, and matrix remodeling of DFCs. Results demonstrated that DFCs cultured with IL-1α exhibited reduced osteogenic capacity, higher osteoclastogenic activity, and stronger invasive ability. Phosphorylation of JNK and p38 was upregulated, and pretreatment with SB203580 and SP600125 reversed the effect of IL-1α on DFCs. Neonatal rats subjected to subcutaneous injection of an IL-1 receptor antagonist exhibited a reduced number in activated osteoclasts, increased expression of alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin, and delayed tooth eruption. These data support our hypothesis that increased IL-1α cytokine levels as they occur during periodontal and periapical inflammation cause osteoclastic remodeling of the alveolar socket as a requirement for tooth eruption and thus may indirectly promote the vertical eruption of teeth toward the occlusal plane.

Cxcl9l and Cxcr3.2 regulate recruitment of osteoclast progenitors to bone matrix in a medaka osteoporosis model. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2020; 117:19276-19286.

Abstract
Bone remodeling requires a balanced interplay of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. While the intercellular signaling that triggers bone cell differentiation is well understood, it remains unclear how bone progenitor cells are recruited to remodeling sites. Various chemokines are upregulated under osteoporotic conditions. However, whether they are involved in progenitor recruitment or instead have inflammatory roles is unknown. Here we used a medaka fish osteoporosis model to identify the chemokine ligand Cxcl9l and receptor Cxcr3.2 as essential to control osteoclast progenitor recruitment and differentiation at bone resorption sites. Cxcr3.2 activity can be blocked by small-molecule inhibitors that protect bone from osteoporotic insult. Our study demonstrates the potential of fish for osteoporosis drug discovery and opens avenues for future osteoporosis therapy. Bone homeostasis requires continuous remodeling of bone matrix to maintain structural integrity. This involves extensive communication between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts to orchestrate balanced progenitor cell recruitment and activation. Only a few mediators controlling progenitor activation are known to date and have been targeted for intervention of bone disorders such as osteoporosis. To identify druggable pathways, we generated a medaka (Oryzias latipes) osteoporosis model, where inducible expression of receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (Rankl) leads to ectopic formation of osteoclasts and excessive bone resorption, which can be assessed by live imaging. Here we show that upon Rankl induction, osteoblast progenitors up-regulate expression of the chemokine ligand Cxcl9l. Ectopic expression of Cxcl9l recruits mpeg1-positive macrophages to bone matrix and triggers their differentiation into osteoclasts. We also demonstrate that the chemokine receptor Cxcr3.2 is expressed in a distinct subset of macrophages in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM). Live imaging revealed that upon Rankl induction, Cxcr3.2-positive macrophages get activated, migrate to bone matrix, and differentiate into osteoclasts. Importantly, mutations in cxcr3.2 prevent macrophage recruitment and osteoclast differentiation. Furthermore, Cxcr3.2 inhibition by the chemical antagonists AMG487 and NBI-74330 also reduced osteoclast recruitment and protected bone integrity against osteoporotic insult. Our data identify a mechanism for progenitor recruitment to bone resorption sites and Cxcl9l and Cxcr3.2 as potential druggable regulators of bone homeostasis and osteoporosis.

Abstract
The bone matrix is constantly remodeled by bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. These two cell types are fundamentally different in terms of progenitor cells, mode of action and regulation by specific molecules, acting either systemically or locally. Importantly, there is increasing evidence for an impact of cell types or molecules of the adaptive and innate immune system on bone remodeling. Understanding these influences is the major goal of a novel research area termed osteoimmunology, which is of key relevance in the context of inflammation-induced bone loss, skeletal metastases, and diseases of impaired bone remodeling, such as osteoporosis. This review article aims at summarizing the current knowledge on one particular aspect of osteoimmunology, namely the impact of chemokines on skeletal cells in order to regulate bone remodeling under physiological and pathological conditions. Chemokines have key roles in the adaptive immune system by controlling migration, localization, and function of immune cells during inflammation. The vast majority of chemokines are divided into two subgroups based on the pattern of cysteine residues. More specifically, there are 27 known C-C-chemokines, binding to 10 different C-C receptors, and 17 known C-X-C-chemokines binding to seven different C-X-C receptors. Three additional chemokines do not fall into this category, and only one of them, i.e., CX3CL1, has been shown to influence bone remodeling cell types. There is a large amount of published studies demonstrating specific effects of certain chemokines on differentiation and function of osteoclasts and/or osteoblasts. Chemokine signaling by skeletal cells or by other cells of the bone marrow niche regulates bone formation and resorption through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. In vivo evidence from mouse deficiency models strongly supports the role of certain chemokine signaling pathways in bone remodeling. We will summarize these data in the present review with a special focus on the most established subsets of chemokines. In combination with the other review articles of this issue, the knowledge presented here confirms that there is a physiologically relevant crosstalk between the innate immune system and bone remodeling cell types, whose molecular understanding is of high clinical relevance.

Abstract
Aim: This study aims to find out the proinflammatory chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α and MIP-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of primary, mixed, and permanent dentitions. Materials and Methods: GCF of 160 individuals (4–15 years of age) was collected by the extracrevicular method. They were categorized into four groups (40 per each group). Group I: subjects with primary dentition (4–5 years of age), Group II: 40 subjects in early transition period (6–8 years), Group III: 40 individuals in the late transition period (9–11 years), and Group IV: 40 individuals with permanent dentition (12–15 years). MIP-lα and MIP-1β levels were determined in the samples of GCF by ELISA method. Data were analyzed by software SPSS Version 20 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY: USA). Results: MIP-1α and MIP-1β were detected in all samples. The highest mean MIP-1α and MIP-1β concentrations in GCF were detected in the early transition period, while the lowest concentrations were seen in primary dentition group. The chemokine levels were higher in girls than in boys in Group III. There was a substantial rise of MIP-1α and MIP-1β levels during eruption. Conclusions: Since levels of MIP-1α and MIP-1β in GCF are positively associated with tooth eruption, they may perhaps be deemed as novel biomarkers in the eruption process.

Abstract
The inflammatory oral diseases are characterized by the persistent migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes, plasma and mast cells, and osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In the last decade, there has been a great interest in the mediators responsible for the selective recruitment and activation of these cell types at inflammatory sites. Of these mediators, the chemokines have received particular attention in recent years. Chemokine messages are decoded by specific receptors that initiate signal transduction events, leading to a multitude of cellular responses, including chemotaxis and activation of inflammatory and bone cells. However, little is known about their role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory oral diseases. The purpose of this review is to summarize the findings regarding the role of chemokines in periapical and periodontal tissue inflammation, and the integration, into experimental models, of the information about the role of chemokines in human diseases.

Abstract
Tooth eruption requires osteoclastogenesis and subsequent bone resorption. Secreted frizzled-related protein-1 (SFRP-1) negatively regulates osteoclastogenesis. Our previous studies indicated that SFRP-1 is expressed in the rat dental follicle (DF), with reduced expression at days 3 and 9 close to the times for the major and minor bursts of osteoclastogenesis, respectively; but it remains unclear as to what molecules contribute to its reduced expression at these critical times. Thus, it was the aim of this study to determine which molecules regulate the expression of SFRP-1 in the DF. To that end, the DF cells were treated with cytokines that are maximally expressed at days 3 or 9, and SFRP-1 expression was determined. Our study indicated that colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), a molecule maximally expressed in the DF at day 3, down-regulated SFRP-1 expression. As to endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II (EMAP-II), a highly expressed molecule in the DF at day 3, it had no effect on the expression of SFRP-1. However, when EMAP-II was knocked down by siRNA, the expression of SFRP-1 was elevated, and this elevated SFRP-1 expression could be reduced by adding recombinant EMAP-II protein. This suggests that EMAP-II maintained a lower level of SFRP-1 in the DF. TNF-α is a molecule maximally expressed at day 9, and this study indicated that it also down-regulated the expression of SFRP-1 in the DF cells. In conclusion, CSF-1 and EMAP-II may contribute to the reduced SFRP-1 expression seen on day 3, while TNF-α may contribute to the reduced SFRP-1 expression at day 9.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) is a key adaptor molecule in the interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-18 toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Because MyD88 is present in dental follicle (DF) cells in vitro, the purpose of this study was to determine its chronological expression in vivo, as well as its possible role in osteoclastogenesis and tooth eruption. An oligo DNA microarray was used to determine expression of the Myd88 gene in vivo in the DFs from the first mandibular molars of postnatal rats from days 1 to 11. The results showed that MyD88 was expressed maximally on day 3. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to knock down MyD88 expression in the DF cells also reduced the expression of the nuclear factor-kappa B-1 (NFKB1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) genes. Interleukin-1alpha up-regulated the expression of NFKB1, MCP-1, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), but knockdown of MyD88 nullified this IL-1alpha effect. Conditioned medium from DF cells with MyD88 knocked down had reduced chemotactic activity for mononuclear cells and reduced osteoclastogenesis, as opposed to controls. In conclusion, the maximal expression of MyD88 in the DF of postnatal day 3 rats may contribute to the major burst of osteoclastogenesis needed for eruption by up-regulating MCP-1 and RANKL expression.

Abstract
The selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine is widely used in the treatment of depression in children and fertile women, but its effect on developing tissues has been sparsely investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate if enamel organs and ameloblast-derived cells express serotonin receptors that are affected by peripherally circulating serotonin or fluoxetine. Using RT-PCR and western blot analysis we found that enamel organs from 3-d-old mice and ameloblast-like cells (LS8 cells) express functional serotonin receptors, the rate-limiting enzyme in serotonin synthesis (Thp1), as well as the serotonin transporter (5HTT), indicating that enamel organs and ameloblasts are able to respond to serotonin and regulate serotonin availability. Fluoxetine and serotonin enhanced the alkaline phosphatase activity in the cell culture medium from cultured LS8 cells, whereas the expression of enamelin (Enam), amelogenin (Amel), and matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP-20) were all significantly down-regulated. The secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), and interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) was also reduced compared with controls. In conclusion, enamel organs and ameloblast-like cells express functional serotonin receptors. Reduced transcription of enamel proteins and secretion of vascular factors may indicate possible adverse effects of fluoxetine on amelogenesis.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells appear to play important functional roles in response to mechanical stress. We hypothesized that hypoxia caused by a deformation of blood vessels and the following ischaemia may play a crucial role in differential gene expression in PDL cells affected by mechanical stress. Gene induction in cultured human PDL cells by hypoxia was analyzed using cDNA array, followed by RT-PCR analysis. Eleven hypoxia-responsive genes were found differentially expressed under low-oxygen conditions in PDL cells. Among them, CCR2, CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) receptor was studied in more detail since little information is available on the role of chemokines in adaptive responses of PDL cells under hypoxia. Here we investigate whether CCR2 mediates the signalling to maintain the homeostasis of PDL cells. We found that cell death of PDL cells was induced under hypoxia with down-regulation of CCL2 mRNA expression. However, the exogenous CCL2 prevented PDL cell death under oxygen shortage with the increment of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (cIAP) mRNA expression. The present study demonstrated substantial effects of hypoxia on gene expression of CCL2 and CCR2 in PDL cells, indicating that mechanical loading accompanied with mild hypoxia allows PDL cells to elicit adaptive responses with up-regulation of CCR2.

Abstract
Endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II (EMAP-II) is an inflammatory cytokine with chemotactic activity. Because the dental follicle (DF) recruits mononuclear cells (osteoclast precursors) to promote the osteoclastogenesis needed for tooth eruption, it was the aim of this study to determine if EMAP-II contributes to this recruitment. Using a DNA microarray, EMAP-II was found to be highly expressed in vivo in the DFs of day 1 to day 11 postnatal rats, with its expression elevated on days 1 and 3. Use of a short interfering RNA (siRNA) to knock down EMAP-II expression resulted in a reduction in the expression of colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the DF cells. Addition of EMAP-II protein to the DF cells partially restored the expression of CSF-1 and MCP-1. In chemotaxis assays using either conditioned medium of the DF cells with anti-(EMAP-II) immunoglobulin G added or conditioned medium of DF cells with EMAP-II knocked down by siRNA, migration indexes of bone marrow mononuclear cells were significantly reduced. These results suggest that EMAP-II is another chemotactic molecule in the dental follicle involved in the recruitment of mononuclear cells, and that EMAP-II may exert its chemotactic function directly by recruiting mononuclear cells and indirectly by enhancing the expression of other chemotactic molecules (CSF-1 and MCP-1).

Abstract
Bone and the immune system are both complex tissues that respectively regulate the skeleton and the body's response to invading pathogens. It has now become clear that these organ systems often interact in their function. This is particularly true for the development of immune cells in the bone marrow and for the function of bone cells in health and disease. Because these two disciplines developed independently, investigators in each don't always fully appreciate the significance that the other system has on the function of the tissue they are studying. This review is meant to provide a broad overview of the many ways that bone and immune cells interact so that a better understanding of the role that each plays in the development and function of the other can develop. It is hoped that an appreciation of the interactions of these two organ systems will lead to better therapeutics for diseases that affect either or both.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The periodontal ligament (PDL) is thought to be an important tissue in vertical movement during tooth eruption, but the precise molecular mechanism is not known. Thereto, comprehensive gene expression was analyzed in human PDL of mandibular third molars performing vertical movement and maxillary second premolars with occlusal contact. DESIGN The expression profile of 9,243 genes in the PDL of one subject was compared between vertically moving third molars and second premolars with occlusal contact by DNA microarray. RESULTS The expression of 27 genes showed more than a 10-fold difference between third molars and second premolars. The expression of CALB1 (encoding calbindin 1), CYP26A1 (encoding cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily A, polypeptide 1), SPOCK3 (encoding testican-3), CCK (encoding cholecystokinin) and SCRG1 (encoding scrapie responsive protein 1) was more than 30-fold higher in PDLs of the third molars than the second premolars. CALB1 is reported to increase at the pressure side of PDL during experimental orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Interestingly, in this study, CALB1 expression showed the largest difference. In contrast, CRCT1 (encoding cysteine-rich C-terminal 1), SPRP3 (encoding small proline-rich protein 3), IL8 (encoding interleukin 8) and MMP12 (encoding matrix metalloproteinase 12) showed more than 100-fold higher expression in PDLs of the second premolars than the third molars. CONCLUSION The present comprehensive gene expression in PDLs provides new insights into the molecular mechanism during the vertical tooth movement.

Abstract
Tooth eruption requires alveolar bone resorption that is regulated by the dental follicle. This is reflected by the fact that failures of eruption often can be traced to either osteoclast deficiencies or to dental follicle abnormalities. To achieve maximal osteoclastogenesis and subsequent alveolar bone resorption for eruption, we have hypothesized that a reduction in gene expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the follicle of the first mandibular molar of the rat at Day 3 is needed. To determine if OPG affects eruption, postnatal rats were injected with varying concentrations of OPG from Days 1-9 postnatally. Such studies indicated that the eruption time of the first mandibular molar was significantly delayed by 1 day or more as a result of OPG injection. Injection of phorbolmyristate acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC) that in turn upregulates OPG expression, also delayed eruption by 1 day. PMA was only injected from Days 1-4 such that PKC-alpha would be increased and activated. Previous studies had shown that PKC-alpha gene expression is downregulated at the time (Day 3) that OPG expression is downregulated. In this study, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction techniques to examine OPG gene expression showed that PMA injection increased OPG gene expression in the dental follicle at Day 3 as compared to the controls. Thus, either injecting OPG or enhancing its expression in the follicle at Day 3 by injecting PMA delays the time of tooth eruption. Consequently, regulation of OPG production by the dental follicle likely affects the alveolar bone resorption needed for tooth eruption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periapical lesions are thought to be the result of a local inflammatory response mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration and production of inflammatory mediators. Although chemokines are strongly implicated in the migration and activation of leukocytes in different inflammatory diseases and experimental models, little is known regarding the expression of chemokines and their receptors in human apical periodontitis. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS The objective of this study was to determine the expression of chemokines and their receptors by real-time polymerase chain reaction in samples obtained from healthy gingiva, periapical granulomas, and inflammatory periradicular cysts. The inflammatory infiltrate was characterized by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Comparing cysts and granulomas, an increase in CD4+ and CD8+ cells was observed in granulomas, despite the similar numbers of CD45RO-positive cells detected in both lesions. The analysis of mRNA expression revealed increased levels of CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, CXCR1, and CXCR3 in both types of lesion compared with controls. Cysts exhibited a higher expression of CCR3, CCR5, CXCR1, and CXCR3 compared to granulomas. A significantly higher expression of RANTES, IP-10, and MCP-1 was detected in cysts compared with controls or granulomas. The expression of interleukin-8, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta was not different in the three experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS The increase in Th1 type (CCR1, CCR5, and CXCR3) and Th2 type (CCR2 and CCR3) receptors in both periapical lesions suggests the concomitant occurrence of Th1 and Th2 responses. Furthermore, the prevalent expression of the receptors CCR3, CCR5, CXCR1, and CXCR3 and of the chemokines RANTES, IP-10, and MCP-1 in cysts may point to a role in the progression of granulomas to cysts.

Abstract
Signals derived from the autonomic nervous system exert potent effects on osteoclast and osteoblast function. A ubiquitous sympathetic and sensory innervation of all periosteal surfaces exists and its disruption affects bone remodeling. Several neuropeptides, neurohormones and neurotransmitters and their receptors are detectable in bone. Bone mineral content decreased in sympathetically denervated mandibular bone. When a mechanical stress was superimposed on mandibular bone by cutting out the lower incisors, an increase in bone density ensued providing the sympathetic innervation was intact. A lower eruption rate of sympathetically denervated incisors at the impeded eruption side, and a higher eruption rate of denervated incisors at the unimpeded side were also observed. A normal sympathetic neural activity appears to be a pre-requisite for maintaining a minimal normal unimpeded incisor eruption and for keeping the unimpeded eruption to attain abnormally high velocities under conditions of stimulated incisor growth. These and other results suggest that the sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in mandibular bone metabolism.

Abstract
Therapeutic ultrasound is known to enhance bone-fracture healing. The purpose of this article was to study the effect of therapeutic ultrasound on mandibular incisor development and eruption in 15 skeletally mature male New Zealand white rabbits undergoing mandibular osteodistraction. The surgical cuts were made anterior to the molars and consequently transected the mandibular incisors. The animals were divided into 3 groups of 5 rabbits each. Group I received ultrasound on both sides of the mandible every other day. Group II received ultrasound on the left side of the mandible every day. Group III did not receive ultrasound. Ultrasound was given for 20 minutes per application. Mandibular incisor eruption was measured directly on the rabbits and on lateral head radiographs. The animals were killed 4 weeks after surgery, and dissected mandibular specimens that contained the incisor segments were evaluated histologically. The lengths of the tooth segments increased in the ultrasound-treated animals, compared with the controls (group III). However, the rabbits in group II had greater increases in length of the mandibular incisor segments than those in group I. Histologic examination showed that the newly formed tissues at the distraction site and at the cut ends of the incisor segments consisted of osteodentin-like tissue and cementum. Thus, therapeutic ultrasound combined with distraction enhanced mandibular incisor growth and eruption.

Abstract
CSF-1 and MCP-1, released by dental follicle cells, stimulate the influx of monocytes into the follicle sac and enhance the formation of osteoclasts that, in turn, resorb alveolar bone for the eruption pathway. PDGF and bFGF, released by cells adjacent to the follicle or by activated monocytes, are prime candidates that may regulate CSF-1 and MCP-1 gene expression. The present study demonstrates that PDGF and bFGF are mitogens for dental follicle cells and stimulate CSF-1 and MCP-1 mRNA, but with different time course kinetics. Peak induction of CSF-1 mRNA was observed at 6-8h, while maximal MCP-1 induction was observed at 2h. These findings suggest that MCP-1 is an early chemotactic signal for monocytes and that subsequent release of CSF-1 may act synergistically with MCP-1 to enhance monocyte influx. Further understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which cytokines regulate CSF-1 and MCP-1 may lead to more effective treatment regimens for disorders associated with abnormal tooth eruption.

Abstract
The risk of oral exposure to uranium potentially involves the population at large. Tooth eruption and development are ongoing processes that begin during fetal development and continue until the age of 18 y. Since one of the mechanisms involved in tooth eruption is bone formation and it is well documented that uranium inhibits bone formation, the aim of the present work was to study the effect of oral administration of uranyl nitrate (UN) on tooth eruption and development. Wistar rats aged 1 and 7 d were orally administered a single dose of 90 mg kg(-1) body weight of uranyl nitrate. Two age matched groups received an equal volume of saline and served as controls. The animals were killed at 7 and 14 d of age, respectively. Mandibles were resected and processed to obtain bucco-lingual sections oriented at the level of the mesial root of the first mandibular molar, and histomorphometric studies were performed. Results showed that an acute high dose of uranyl nitrate delays both tooth eruption and development, probably due to its effect on target cells.

Abstract
Tooth eruption is a complex and tightly regulated process that involves cells of the tooth organ and the surrounding alveolus. Mononuclear cells (osteoclast precursors) must be recruited into the dental follicle prior to the onset of eruption. These cells, in turn, fuse to form osteoclasts that resorb alveolar bone, forming an eruption pathway for the tooth to exit its bony crypt. Some of the molecules possibly involved in the signaling cascades of eruption have been proposed in studies from null mice, osteopetrotic rodents, injections of putative eruption molecules, and cultured dental follicle cells. In particular, recruitment of the mononuclear cells to the follicle may require colony-stimulating factor-one (CSF-1) and/or monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). Osteoclastogenesis is needed for the bone resorption and may involve inhibition of osteoprotegerin transcription and synthesis in the follicle, as well as enhancement of receptor activator of NF kappa B ligand (RANKL), in the adjacent alveolar bone and/or in the follicle. Paracrine signaling by parathyroid-hormone-related protein and interleukin -1 alpha, produced in the stellate reticulum adjacent to the follicle, may also play a role in regulating eruption. Osteoblasts might also influence the process of eruption, the most important physiologic role likely being at the eruptive site, in the formation of osteoclasts through signaling via the RANKL/OPG pathway. Evidence thus far supports a role for an osteoblast-specific transcription factor, Cbfa1 (Runx2), in molecular events that regulate tooth eruption. Cbfa1 is also expressed at high levels by the dental follicle cells. This review concludes with a discussion of the several human conditions that result in a failure of or delay in tooth eruption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to report the development of extensive, gingival eruption cyst formation in neonatal dogs during chronic administration of cyclosporine, which regressed after treatment ceased. MATERIALS AND METHODS As part of an investigation of the efficacy of adenoviral-mediated gene therapy in a canine model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), 26 Golden retriever pups were given intramuscular injections of adenoviral gene constructs (at 2-5 days old) either with (15 pups) or without (9 pups) concomitant immunosuppression using oral cyclosporine (from 1 to 3 days old). RESULTS The daily administration of cyclosporine to Golden Retriever pups from 1 to 3 days of age resulted in the formation of eruption cysts over the incisors after approximately 3 weeks of treatment. The gingiva over the remaining teeth became swollen. However unlike the incisors, part of the crown erupted through the gingiva. Continuous treatment for 60-90 days was associated with persistence and expansion of the cysts over the incisor teeth. The cysts resolved within 1 month if cyclosporine administration was discontinued. Movement of incisors within the jaws was not appreciably affected when compared with age-matched controls. CONCLUSION Chronic cyclosporine administration to neonatal dogs induces the formation of eruption cysts over the incisors, which is reversible once treatment is discontinued and does not affect intraosseous eruption.

Abstract
Tooth eruption requires the presence of the dental follicle, a loose connective tissue sac that surrounds each unerupted tooth. Early postnatally in the rat, the follicle secretes colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), chemotactic molecules that are probably responsible for the recruitment of mononuclear cells. These cells, in turn, fuse to form osteoclasts, which are required for alveolar bone resorption to form an eruption pathway. Recent studies have shown that the osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene is expressed in the dental follicle, but in the first mandibular molar of the rat, that expression is reduced at day 3, the time of maximal osteoclast numbers on the alveolar bone. Inhibition of OPG expression at this time would allow osteoclast formation/activation. To determine if the dental follicle cells do secrete OPG that inhibits osteoclastogenesis, spleen cell cultures were established and soluble osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) and CSF-1 added to some of them to promote osteoclast formation. In other cultures, dental follicle cells were added in an insert, such that they did not touch the spleen cells. Using a quantitative, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) assay, it was shown that ODF and CSF-1 promoted osteoclastogenesis in the spleen cell cultures, but the addition of the follicle cells inhibited this and returned the TRAP activities to those seen in cultures of spleen cells only. Adding anti-OPG to these cultures, however, negated the effect of the follicle cells, demonstrating that OPG was the inhibitory molecule secreted by those cells. The follicle cells also immunostained for OPG, confirming that they synthesize OPG. These findings, coupled with those of other studies which show that the periodontal ligament (a derivative of the dental follicle) also secretes OPG, indicate that, except for the period of time in tooth eruption, where osteoclast formation is needed to form an eruption pathway, secretion of OPG would be the norm, presumably to prevent resorption of alveolar bone and subsequent disruption of the periodontal ligament.

Abstract
To assess the effect of sympathectomy on rat tooth eruption, the effect of a unilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx) on eruption rate of ipsi- and contralateral lower incisors was examined. Two experiments were performed. In a first experiment, the eruption rate of ipsilaterally denervated incisors was similar to that of contralaterally innervated incisors, when assessed for up to 28 days after surgery. In a second experiment, under conditions of unilateral unimpeded eruption of incisors performed ipsilaterally or contralaterally to a unilateral SCGx, a significantly lower eruption rate of denervated incisors at the impeded eruption side, and a significantly higher eruption rate of denervated incisors at the unimpeded side were observed, when computed every 2 days. Significant differences in individual Student's t tests at every time interval occurred mainly during the first and the last week of examination. When average daily eruption rate was computed in weekly intervals, a significant interaction between SCGx and the side of impeded or unimpeded eruption was found in a factorial ANOVA, that is, for each of the 4 weeks of examination, sympathetically denervated incisors showed lower eruption rates at the impeded eruption side, and higher eruption rates at the unimpeded side. These results indicate that incisor eruption is not modified by a local sympathetic denervation unless the contralateral lower rat incisor is cut out of occlusion.

Abstract
A requirement for tooth eruption is the resorption of alveolar bone. Because bone resorption is stimulated by dexamethasone both in vivo and in vitro, dexamethasone 21-phosphate, a soluble form of dexamethasone, was injected into rats to determine its effect on tooth eruption. Such dexamethasone injections accelerate the time of intra-osseous eruption in rat incisors but do not accelerate the eruption time of rat molars when injected into rats. The injections of dexamethasone 21-phosphate also accelerate the time of eyelid opening in the postnatal rats, as well as retarding growth, as measured by body weight. These effects of dexamethasone 21-phosphate parallel the effects of epidermal growth factor injections, including the absence of an effect on molar eruption. This suggests that the molecular signals for the initiation of tooth eruption (i.e., onset of bone resorption) differ between rat incisors and molars. Given that rat incisors are teeth of continuous eruption whereas rat molars are teeth of limited eruption, as are human teeth, care must be taken in extrapolating results derived from rat incisors to human dentition. In vitro, dexamethasone has no effect on the gene expression of either osteoprotegerin or epidermal growth factor in dental follicle cells derived from molars. Because osteoprotegerin expression during normal tooth eruption is transitorily inhibited early postnatally in the molar dental follicle to allow osteoclast formation, the absence of inhibition of its expression by dexamethasone could explain why dexamethasone does not accelerate eruption in molars.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is required for tooth eruption in mice. Localized in the stellate reticulum, PTHrP might exert a paracrine effect on cells of the adjacent dental follicle to initiate eruption. The presence of a follicle is needed for eruption and, at the cellular level, there is an influx of mononuclear cells in the follicle early postnatally in the first mandibular molar of the rat. In turn, these mononuclear cells fuse to form osteoclasts, which erode the alveolar bone to form an eruption pathway. At the molecular level, the dental follicle cells of the rat molar maximally express the genes for monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) at day 3 postnatally. Because day 3 also is the time of maximal influx of the mononuclear cells into the follicle, MCP-1 and CSF-1 could be involved in the recruitment/maturation of these cells. To determine if PTHrP can modulate gene expression in the dental follicle, cultured follicle cells were immunostained to show the receptor for PTHrP. The gene expression of this receptor was enhanced by incubating the cells with interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha). Next, the ability of PTHrP itself to enhance gene expression of either MCP-1 or CSF-1 in the dental follicle cells was determined by incubating the cells with PTHrP in either a time- or concentration-course manner (1-15 h or 1-100 ng/ml). By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, it was demonstrated that PTHrP enhanced MCP-1 expression in a concentration-dependent fashion, with 50 ng PTHrP/ml inducing maximal expression of either MCP-1 or CSF-1. In the time-dependent studies, PTHrP caused maximal expression within 30 min for either MCP-1 or CSF-1. Immunoblotting revealed that PTHrP also enhanced secretion of MCP-1 by the follicle cells. Thus, one of the actions of PTHrP in tooth eruption may be that it enhances MCP-1 and CSF-1 gene expression and secretion in the dental follicle. Moreover, IL-1alpha may accentuate its action by enhancing the expression for the PTHrP receptor in the follicle cells.
