Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells play a crucial role in maintaining periodontal integrity and function by providing cell sources for ligament regeneration. While biophysical stimulation is known to regulate cell behaviors and functions, its impact on epigenetics of PDL cells has not yet been elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the cytoskeletal changes, epigenetic modifications, and lineage commitment of PDL cells following the application of stretch stimuli to PDL. PDL cells were subjected to stretching (0.1 Hz, 10 %). Subsequently, changes in focal adhesion, tubulin, and histone modification were observed. The survival ability in inflammatory conditions was also evaluated. Furthermore, using a rat hypo-occlusion model, we verified whether these phenomena are observed in vivo. Stretched PDL cells showed maximal histone 3 acetylation (H3Ace) at 2 h, aligning perpendicularly to the stretch direction. RNA sequencing revealed stretching altered gene sets related to mechanotransduction, histone modification, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, and differentiation. We further found that anchorage, cell elongation, and actin/microtubule acetylation were highly upregulated with mechanosensitive chromatin remodelers such as H3Ace and histone H3 trimethyl lysine 9 (H3K9me3) adopting euchromatin status. Inhibitor studies showed mechanotransduction-mediated chromatin modification alters PDL cells behaviors. Stretched PDL cells displayed enhanced survival against bacterial toxin (C12-HSL) or ROS (H2O2) attack. Furthermore, cyclic stretch priming enhanced the osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation potential of PDL cells, as evidenced by upregulation of lineage-specific genes. In vivo, PDL cells from normally loaded teeth displayed an elongated morphology and higher levels of H3Ace compared to PDL cells with hypo-occlusion, where mechanical stimulus is removed. Overall, these data strongly link external physical forces to subsequent mechanotransduction and epigenetic changes, impacting gene expression and multiple cellular behaviors, providing important implications in cell biology and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
During the process of socket healing after tooth extraction, osteoblasts appear in the tooth socket and form alveolar bone; however, the source of these osteoblasts is still uncertain. Recently, it has been demonstrated that cells expressing Gli1, a downstream factor of sonic hedgehog signaling, exhibit stem cell properties in the periodontal ligament (PDL). Therefore, in the present study, the differentiation ability of Gli1+-PDL cells after tooth extraction was analyzed using Gli1-CreERT2/ROSA26-loxP-stop-loxP-tdTomato (iGli1/Tomato) mice. After the final administration of tamoxifen to iGli1/Tomato mice, Gli1/Tomato+ cells were rarely detected in the PDL. One day after the tooth extraction, although inflammatory cells appeared in the tooth socket, Periostin+ PDL-like tissues having a few Gli1/Tomato+ cells remained near the alveolar bone. Three days after the extraction, the number of Gli1/Tomato+ cells increased as evidenced by numerous PCNA+ cells in the socket. Some of these Gli1/Tomato+ cells expressed BMP4 and Phosphorylated (P)-Smad1/5/8. After seven days, the Osteopontin+ bone matrix was formed in the tooth socket apart from the alveolar bone. Many Gli1/Tomato+ osteoblasts that were positive for Runx2+ were arranged on the surface of the newly formed bone matrix. In the absence of Gli1+-PDL cells in Gli1-CreERT2/Rosa26-loxP-stop-loxP-tdDTA (iGli1/DTA) mice, the amount of newly formed bone matrix was significantly reduced in the tooth socket. Therefore, these results collectively suggest that Gli1+-PDL cells differentiate into osteoblasts to form the bone matrix in the tooth socket; thus, this differentiation might be regulated, at least in part, by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling.

Landscape of Well-Coordinated Fracture Healing in a Mouse Model Using Molecular and Cellular Analysis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043569. [PMID: 36834981 PMCID: PMC9964763 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The success of fracture healing relies on overlapping but coordinated cellular and molecular events. Characterizing an outline of differential gene regulation throughout successful healing is essential for identifying crucial phase-specific markers and may serve as the basis for engineering these in challenging healing situations. This study analyzed the healing progression of a standard closed femoral fracture model in C57BL/6N (age = 8 weeks) wild-type male mice. The fracture callus was assessed across various days post fracture (D = days 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28) by microarray, with D0 serving as a control. Histological analyses were carried out on samples from D7 until D28 to support the molecular findings. Microarray analysis revealed a differential regulation of immune response, angiogenesis, ossification, extracellular matrix regulation, mitochondrial and ribosomal genes during healing. In-depth analysis showed differential regulation of mitochondrial and ribosomal genes during the initial phase of healing. Furthermore, the differential gene expression showed an essential role of Serpin Family F Member 1 over the well-known Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in angiogenesis, especially during the inflammatory phase. The significant upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase 13 and bone sialoprotein from D3 until D21 asserts their importance in bone mineralization. The study also shows type I collagen around osteocytes located in the ossified region at the periosteal surface during the first week of healing. Histological analysis of matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein and extracellular signal-regulated kinase stressed their roles in bone homeostasis and the physiological bone-healing process. This study reveals previously unknown and novel candidates, that could serve as a target for specific time points in healing and to remedy cases of impaired healing.

Abstract
Radiation-combined injury (RCI) augments the risk of morbidity and mortality when compared to radiation injury (RI) alone. No FDA-approved medical countermeasures (MCMs) are available for treating RCI. Previous studies implied that RI and RCI elicit differential mechanisms leading to their detrimental effects. We hypothesize that accelerating wound healing improves the survival of RCI mice. In the current study, we examined the effects of RCI at different doses on lethality, weight loss, wound closure delay, and proinflammatory status, and assessed the relative contribution of systemic and local elements to their delayed wound closure. Our data demonstrated that RCI increased the lethality and weight loss, delayed skin wound closure, and induced a systemic proinflammatory status in a radiation dose-dependent manner. We also demonstrated that delayed wound closure did not specifically depend on the extent of hematopoietic suppression, but was significantly influenced by the toxicity of the radiation-induced systemic inflammation and local elements, including the altered levels of proinflammatory chemokines and factors, and the dysregulated collagen homeostasis in the wounded area. In conclusion, the results from our study indicate a close association between delayed wound healing and the significantly altered pathways in RCI mice. This insightful information may contribute to the evaluation of the prognosis of RCI and development of MCMs for RCI.

Abstract
Bone injuries and fractures reliably heal through a process of regeneration with restoration to original structure and function when the gap between adjacent sides of a fracture site is small. However, when there is significant volumetric loss of bone, bone regeneration usually does not occur. In the present studies, we explore a particular case of volumetric bone loss in a mouse model of human periodontal disease (PD) in which alveolar bone surrounding teeth is permanently lost and not replaced. This model employs the placement a ligature around the upper second molar for 10 days leading to inflammation and bone breakdown and faithfully replicates the bacterially-induced inflammatory etiology of human PD to induce bone degeneration. After ligature removal, mice are treated with a timed-release formulation of a small molecule inhibitor of prolylhydroxylases (PHDi; 1,4-DPCA) previously shown to induce epimorphic regeneration of soft tissue in non-regenerating mice. This PHDi induces high expression of HIF-1α and is able to shift the metabolic state from OXPHOS to aerobic glycolysis, an energetic state used by stem cells and embryonic tissue. This regenerative response was completely blocked by siHIF1a. In these studies, we show that timed-release 1,4-DPCA rapidly and completely restores PD-affected bone and soft tissue with normal anatomic fidelity and with increased stem cell markers due to site-specific stem cell migration and/or de-differentiation of local tissue, periodontal ligament (PDL) cell proliferation, and increased vascularization. In-vitro studies using gingival tissue show that 1,4-DPCA indeed induces de-differentiation and the expression of stem cell markers but does not exclude the role of migrating stem cells. Evidence of metabolic reprogramming is seen by the expression of not only HIF-1a, its gene targets, and resultant de-differentiation markers, but also the metabolic genes Glut-1, Gapdh, Pdk1, Pgk1 and Ldh-a in jaw periodontal tissue.

Spatial survey of non-collagenous proteins in mineralizing and non-mineralizing vertebrate tissues ex vivo. Bone Rep 2021; 14:100754. [PMID: 33665237 PMCID: PMC7900015 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.100754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone biomineralization is a complex process in which type I collagen and associated non-collagenous proteins (NCPs), including glycoproteins and proteoglycans, interact closely with inorganic calcium and phosphate ions to control the precipitation of nanosized, non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HAP, idealized stoichiometry Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) within the organic matrix of a tissue. The ability of certain vertebrate tissues to mineralize is critically related to several aspects of their function. The goal of this study was to identify specific NCPs in mineralizing and non-mineralizing tissues of two animal models, rat and turkey, and to determine whether some NCPs are unique to each type of tissue. The tissues investigated were rat femur (mineralizing) and tail tendon (non-mineralizing) and turkey leg tendon (having both mineralizing and non-mineralizing regions in the same individual specimen). An experimental approach ex vivo was designed for this investigation by combining sequential protein extraction with comprehensive protein mapping using proteomics and Western blotting. The extraction method enabled separation of various NCPs based on their association with either the extracellular organic collagenous matrix phases or the inorganic mineral phases of the tissues. The proteomics work generated a complete picture of NCPs in different tissues and animal species. Subsequently, Western blotting provided validation for some of the proteomics findings. The survey then yielded generalized results relevant to various protein families, rather than only individual NCPs. This study focused primarily on the NCPs belonging to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family and the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoproteins (SIBLINGs). SLRPs were found to be associated only with the collagenous matrix, a result suggesting that they are mainly involved in structural matrix organization and not in mineralization. SIBLINGs as well as matrix Gla (γ-carboxyglutamate) protein were strictly localized within the inorganic mineral phase of mineralizing tissues, a finding suggesting that their roles are limited to mineralization. The results from this study indicated that osteocalcin was closely involved in mineralization but did not preclude possible additional roles as a hormone. This report provides for the first time a spatial survey and comparison of NCPs from mineralizing and non-mineralizing tissues ex vivo and defines the proteome of turkey leg tendons as a model for vertebrate mineralization.

Intermittent PTH Administration Increases Bone-Specific Blood Vessels and Surrounding Stromal Cells in Murine Long Bones. Calcif Tissue Int 2021; 108:391-406.

Abstract
To verify whether PTH acts on bone-specific blood vessels and on cells surrounding these blood vessels, 6-week-old male mice were subjected to vehicle (control group) or hPTH [1-34] (20 µg/kg/day, PTH group) injections for 2 weeks. Femoral metaphyses were used for histochemical and immunohistochemical studies. In control metaphyses, endomucin-positive blood vessels were abundant, but αSMA-reactive blood vessels were scarce. In the PTH-administered mice, the lumen of endomucin-positive blood vessels was markedly enlarged. Moreover, many αSMA-positive cells were evident near the blood vessels, and seemed to derive from those vessels. These αSMA-positive cells neighboring the blood vessels showed features of mesenchymal stromal cells, such as immunopositivity for c-kit and tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNALP). Thus, PTH administration increased the population of perivascular/stromal cells positive for αSMA and c-kit, which were likely committed to the osteoblastic lineage. To understand the cellular events that led to increased numbers and size of bone-specific blood vessels, we performed immunohistochemical studies for PTH/PTHrP receptor and VEGF. After PTH administration, PTH/PTHrP receptor, VEGF and its receptor flk-1 were consistently identified in both osteoblasts and blood vessels (endothelial cells and surrounding perivascular cells). Our findings suggest that exogenous PTH increases the number and size of bone-specific blood vessels while fostering perivascular/stromal cells positive for αSMA/TNALP/c-kit.

Boric acid inhibits alveolar bone loss in rat experimental periodontitis through diminished bone resorption and enhanced osteoblast formation. J Dent Sci 2021; 15:437-444. [PMID: 33505614 PMCID: PMC7816015 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2019.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Revised: 09/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Inhibition of bone resorption is essential for periodontal treatment. Recently, it has been suggested that boric acid suppresses periodontitis, but the mechanism of this inhibition is still not well understood. Therefore, to analyze the cellular response to boric acid administration, we histologically evaluated alveolar bone in experimental periodontitis of rats administered boric acid. Materials and methods 5-0 silk ligatures were placed around the cervix of the second maxillary molars of 4 week-old rats treated with or without boric acid. Five and 14 days after ligature placement, the periodontal tissues between first and second molars were investigated histologically and immunohistochemically using antibodies to CD68, cathepsin K, and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA). Results Five days after the beginning of the experiment, many CD68-positive cells appeared in the periodontal tissues with ligature placement without boric acid administration. Also, the number of cathepsin K-positive osteoclasts had increased on the surface of alveolar bone. However, boric acid administration prevented severe bone resorption and reduced the number of cells positive for CD68 and cathepsin K. At day 14 post treatment, cells positive for α-SMA were seen in the periodontal tissues after boric acid administration, whereas no such cells were found around the alveolar bone without the administration of boric acid. Conclusion Boric acid inhibited the inflammation of ligature-induced periodontitis. This agent might reduce bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and also could accelerate osteoblastogenesis.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction Periodontal disease, a chronic inflammation induced by bacteria, is closely linked with diabetes mellitus. Many complications associated with diabetes are related to epigenetic changes. However, the exact epigenetic changes whereby diabetes affects periodontal disease remain largely unknown. Thus, we sought to investigate the role of diabetes‐dependent epigenetic changes of gingival tissue in the susceptibility to periodontal disease. Materials and Methods We studied the effect of streptozotocin‐induced diabetes in minipigs on gingival morphological and epigenetic tissue changes. Accordingly, we randomly divided six minipigs into two groups: streptozotocin‐induced diabetes group, n = 3; and non‐diabetes healthy control group, n = 3. After 85 days, all animals were killed, and gingival tissue was collected for histology, deoxyribonucleic acid methylation analysis and immunohistochemistry. Results A diabetes mellitus model was successfully created, as evidenced by significantly increased blood glucose levels, reduction of pancreatic insulin‐producing β‐cells and histopathological changes in the kidneys. The gingival tissues in the diabetes group presented acanthosis of both gingival squamous epithelium and sulcular/junctional epithelium, and a significant reduction in the number and length of rete pegs. Deoxyribonucleic acid methylation analysis showed a total of 1,163 affected genes, of which 599 and 564 were significantly hypermethylated and hypomethylated, respectively. Immunohistochemistry staining showed that the hypomethylated genes – tumor necrosis factor‐α and interleukin‐6 – were positively expressed under the junctional epithelium area in the diabetes group. Conclusions Diabetes mellitus induces morphological and epigenetic changes in periodontal tissue, which might contribute to the increased susceptibility of periodontal diseases in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
When regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) are performed on immature teeth diagnosed with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis, various healing patterns occur. Furthermore, infected immature teeth with endodontic disorders often exhibit some remnant pulp and apical tissue. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of remnant healthy or fully functional pulp and apical tissue on healing patterns after REPs. Simulated REPs were performed on non-infected immature rat molars with different amounts of remnant pulp and apical tissue. Healing patterns in these teeth were assessed after 28 days. Teeth with 0.81–0.91 mm of remnant pulp healed with pulp-like tissue, dentin, and osteodentin-like dentin-associated mineralized tissue (OSD-DAMT); teeth with 0.60–0.63 mm of remnant pulp healed with pulp-like tissue and OSD-DAMT; teeth with 0.13–0.43 mm of remnant pulp healed with periodontal ligament (PDL)-like tissue, OSD-DAMT, and cementum-like dentin-associated mineralized tissue (CEM-DAMT); and teeth with disorganization of pulp and apical tissues at 0.15–0.38 mm beyond the root apex healed with PDL-like tissue, CEM-DAMT, and intracanal bone (IB). Loss of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath was observed with IB formation. These results showed that four distinct healing patterns occurred after REPs, depending on the preoperative amount of remnant healthy pulp and apical tissue.

Abstract
Maresin-1 (MaR1) and Resolvin E1 (RvE1) are specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) that regulate inflammatory processes. We have previously demonstrated the hard and soft tissue regenerative capacity of RvE1 in an in vivo model of the periodontal disease characterized by inflammatory tissue destruction. Regeneration of periodontal tissues requires a well-orchestrated process mediated by periodontal ligament stem cells. However, limited data are available on how SPMs can regulate the regenerative properties of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under inflammatory conditions. Thus, we measured the impact of MaR1 and RvE1 in an in vitro model of hPDLSC under stimulation with IL-1β and TNF-α by evaluating pluripotency, migration, viability/cell death, periodontal ligament markers (α-smooth muscle actin, tenomodulin, and periostin), cementogenic-osteogenic differentiation, and phosphoproteomic perturbations. The data showed that the pro-inflammatory milieu suppresses pluripotency, viability, and migration of hPDLSCs; MaR1 and RvE1 both restored regenerative capacity by increasing hPDLSC viability, accelerating wound healing/migration, and up-regulating periodontal ligament markers and cementogenic-osteogenic differentiation. Protein phosphorylation perturbations were associated with the SPM-induced regenerative capacity of hPDLSCs. Together, these results demonstrate that MaR1 and RvE1 restore or improve the regenerative properties of highly specialized stem cells when inflammation is present and offer opportunities for direct pharmacologic treatment of lost tissue integrity.

Abstract
Resumo Introdução Os ameloblastomas (AM) são considerados os tumores odontogênicos mais comuns da cavidade bucal, apresentando grande importância clínica devido à sua agressividade, capacidade infiltrativa e comportamento recorrente. De maneira semelhante, o ceratocisto odontogênico (CO) desperta a atenção por ter um comportamento agressivo e altas taxas de recorrência em relação aos outros cistos de desenvolvimento. Objetivo Avaliar e comparar o índice de proliferação epitelial e a presença de miofibroblastos em CO e AM, por meio dos anticorpos Ki-67 e α-SMA, respectivamente. Metodologia Foram selecionados 15 casos de AM e 24 casos de CO para investigação imuno-histoquímica das proteínas Ki-67 e α-SMA. Um grupo de sete folículos pericoronários (FP) foi incluído como controle de tecido odontogênico normal. A média de células positivas foi calculada para cada marcador. Resultado O teste de Kruskal-Wallis revelou que a expressão de ambos os marcadores foi maior nos casos de CO, quando comparada à expressão em AM e FP. Segundo o teste de Mann-Whitney, a expressão dos marcadores foi semelhante entre os subtipos de AM. Conclusão A alta expressão de Ki-67 e α-SMA observada em CO poderia estar associada ao comportamento agressivo desta lesão em relação aos outros cistos de desenvolvimento. Por outro lado, a expressão semelhante destas proteínas nos casos de AM e FP, assim como nos subtipos de AM, poderia indicar que outros fatores, além do potencial proliferativo, estariam associados ao comportamento clínico agressivo do AM.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to explore the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the periodontal ligament (PDL) of young and adult rats during post-emergent tooth eruption in opposed and unopposed teeth at two time points: 3 and 15 days after antagonist loss. Methods Four-week-old (n = 20) and 22-week-old (n = 20) male Wistar rats were used. The right maxillary molar crowns were cut down. PDL samples were isolated from the first mandibular molars at two time points: 3 and 15 days after cut-down of the right maxillary molars. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect differences in α-SMA expression in the PDL tissues of unopposed versus opposed molars. Results α-SMA was upregulated in the PDL of the unopposed molars in the 3-day group of young rats. The region around the root apex of the unopposed molars in this group exhibited strong immunostaining for α-SMA. The expression level and immunoreactivity of α-SMA did not differ in both time points in young controls and among all the adult groups. Conclusion α-SMA-positive myofibroblasts are implicated in post-emergent tooth eruption of unopposed molars of young animals.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to examine the contribution of perivascular cells to odontoblasts during the development, growth, and repair of dentin using mouse molars as a model. We used an inducible, Cre-loxP in vivo fate-mapping approach to examine the contributions of the descendants of cells expressing the αSMA-CreERT2 transgene to the odontoblast lineage. In vivo lineage-tracing experiments in molars showed the contribution of αSMA-tdTomato+ cells to a small number of newly formed odontoblasts during primary dentinogenesis. Using an experimental pulp exposure model in molars to induce reparative dentinogenesis, we demonstrate the contribution of αSMA-tdTomato+ cells to cells secreting reparative dentin. Our results demonstrate that αSMA-tdTomato+ cells differentiated into Col2.3-GFP+ cells composed of both Dspp+ odontoblasts and Bsp+ osteoblasts. Our findings identify a population of mesenchymal progenitor cells capable of giving rise to a second generation of odontoblasts during reparative dentinogenesis. This population also makes a small contribution to odontoblasts during primary dentinogenesis.

Abstract
Tooth eruption is a complex physiological process involving both osteogenesis and bone resorption. Signals from the dental follicle (DF) regulate bone remodeling during tooth eruption. Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) may be the initial promoter of tooth eruption, whereas colony‑stimulating factor‑1 (CSF‑1) may attract monocytes into the DF and stimulate osteoclast differentiation. In the present study, differential proteomics was employed to explore protein changes in rat DF cells (DFCs) under the effects of CSF‑1 and IL‑1α. A total of 47 protein spots were differentially expressed in rat DFCs, and 40 protein spots were identified by MALDI‑TOF‑MS. The identified proteins were grouped into functional categories including cytoskeletal proteins, metal‑binding proteins, proteins involved in secretion and degradation, cell cycle proteins and stress proteins. In IL‑1α‑induced rat DFCs, 31 proteins were upregulated compared with the control and included heat shock protein β‑1 (HSP25, also known as HSP27/HSPβ1), vimentin, TMEM43, the GTP‑binding protein Rab‑3D, 6‑pyruvoyl tetrahydrobiopterin synthase and actin. In total, 7 proteins were downregulated, including serum albumin, GIPC1, DNA primase large subunit, cullin‑5 and cyclin‑G1. In CSF‑1‑induced rat DFCs, 3 proteins were upregulated and 7 proteins were downregulated when compared with the controls. The upregulated proteins included the GTP‑binding protein Rab‑3D and α‑actin. The downregulated proteins included cullin‑5, serum albumin, PDZ domain‑containing protein and cyclin‑G1. The differential expression of vimentin, actin, HSP25 and Rab‑3D was verified by western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses. The present findings provide an insight into the mechanisms involved in tooth eruption.

Abstract
c-Fos homozygous mice lack osteoclasts with a failure of the teeth to erupt and with an arrest of root development. Here, we characterize the defects associated with the failure in root development and the loss of the tooth-bone interface, and we investigate the underlying causes. We show that, while homozygous c-Fos mice have no multinucleated osteoclasts, heterozygous mice have a reduction in the number of osteoclasts with a reduction in the tooth-bone interface during development and subtle skeletal defects postnatally. In the homozygous mutants bone is found to penetrate the tooth, particularly at the apical end, physically disrupting the root forming HERS (Hertwig's epithelial root sheath) cells. The cells of the HERS continue to proliferate but cannot extend downward due to the presence of bone, leading to a loss of root formation. Tooth germ culture showed that the developing tooth invaded the static bone in mutant tissue, rather than the bone encroaching on the tooth. Although c-Fos has been shown to be expressed in developing teeth, the defect in maintenance of the tooth-bone interface appears to be driven solely by the lack of osteoclasts, as this defect can be rescued in the presence of donor osteoclasts. The rescue suggests that signals from the tooth recruit osteoclasts to clear the bone from around the tooth, allowing the tooth to grow, form roots, and later erupt.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a controversial chemical in cardiac cell therapy. Myocardial homing of mobilized bone marrow-derived cells is thought to play a critical role in observed G-CSF-induced cardiac repair; meanwhile, the activation of proliferative potential of cardiac stem cells (CSCs) residing in the heart is a significant challenge. The present study aims to investigate whether G-CSF receptor is expressed in adult resident Sca-1(+) CSCs and determine the effect of G-CSF treatment on the proliferation of CSCs. For cardiac cells isolation, 12-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were anesthetized in a chamber containing 2.5% isoflurane in oxygen, euthanized by CO2 inhalation and then sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Magnetic-activated cell sorting was employed to acquire highly purified Sca-1(+) CSCs. We found that G-CSF receptor was expressed in adult resident Sca-1(+) CSCs by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. Exposure of Sca-1(+) cells to G-CSF in the culture medium for 72 h induced time-dependent but self-limiting cell cycle acceleration with a restricted effect on the CSC proliferation. As a result, it has provided a new insight to focus on the association between cardiac G-CSF therapy and adult resident stem cell activation. It may suggest gaining a deeper insight into the mechanisms of the interaction between CSCs and G-CSF to develop a synergistic strategy based on resident stem cell and G-CSF therapy for heart disease.

Odontoblasts are a type of terminally differentiated matrix-secreting cells. A number of molecular mechanisms are involved in the differentiation of odontoblasts. Several studies demonstrated that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) promotes odontoblast differentiation via control of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). Because nuclear factor I-C (NFIC) is also known to control DSPP, we investigated the relationship between NFIC and KLF4 during odontoblast differentiation. Klf4 mRNA expression was significantly decreased in Nfic(-/-) pulp cells compared with wild type cells. In immunohistochemistry assays, dentin matrix protein 1 (Dmp1), and DSP protein expression was barely observed in Nfic(-/-) odontoblasts and dentin matrix. Nfic bound directly to the Klf4 promoter and stimulated Klf4 transcriptional activity, thereby regulating Dmp1 and DSPP expression during odontoblast differentiation. Nfic or Klf4 overexpression promoted mineralized nodule formation in MDPC-23 cells. In addition, Nfic overexpression also decreased Slug luciferase activity but augmented E-cadherin promoter activity via up-regulation of Klf4 in odontoblasts. Our study reveals important signaling pathways during dentinogenesis: the Nfic-Klf4-Dmp1-Dspp and the Nfic-Klf4-E-cadherin pathways in odontoblasts. Our results indicate the important role of NFIC in regulating KLF4 during dentinogenesis.

Abstract
Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) conjugation (SUMOylation) is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes including the regulation of transcription factors. In this study, to analyze the involvement of SUMOylation in odontoblast differentiation, we examined the immunohistochemical localization of SUMO-1, SUMO-2/3, and Osterix during rat tooth development. At the bud and cap stages, localization of SUMOs and Osterix was hardly detected in the dental mesenchyme. At the bell stage, odontoblasts just beginning dentin matrix secretion and preodontoblasts near these odontoblasts showed intense immunoreactivity for these molecules. However, after the root-formation stage, these immunoreactivities in the odontoblasts decreased in intensity. Next, to examine whether the SUMOylation participates in dentin regeneration, we evaluated the distribution of SUMOs and Osterix in the dental pulp after cavity preparation. In the coronal pulp chamber of an untreated rat molar, odontoblasts and pulp cells showed no immunoreactivity. At 4 days after cavity preparation, positive cells for SUMOs and Osterix appeared on the surface of the dentin beneath the cavity. Odontoblast-like cells forming reparative dentin were immunopositive for SUMOs and Osterix at 1 week, whereas these immunoreactivities disappeared after 8 weeks. Additionally, we further analyzed the capacity of SUMO-1 to bind Osterix by performing an immunoprecipitation assay using C2C12 cells, and showed that Osterix could undergo SUMOylation. These results suggest that SUMOylation might regulate the transcriptional activity of Osterix in odontoblast lineage cells, and thus play important roles in odontoblast differentiation and regeneration.

Abstract
Dental pulp is involved in the formation of bone-like tissue in response to external stimuli. However, the origin of osteoblast-like cells constructing this tissue and the mechanism of their induction remain unknown. We therefore evaluated pulp mineralization induced by transplantation of a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled tooth into a GFP-negative hypodermis of host rats. Five days after the transplantation, the upper pulp cavity became necrotic; however, cell-rich hard tissue was observed adjacent to dentin at the root apex. At 10 days, woven bone-like tissue was formed apart from the dentin in the upper pulp. After 20 days, these hard tissues expanded and became histologically similar to bone. GFP immunoreactivity was detected in the hard tissue-forming cells within the root apex as well as in the upper pulp. Furthermore, immunohistochemical observation of α-smooth muscle actin, a marker for undifferentiated cells, showed a positive reaction in cells surrounding this bone-like tissue within the upper pulp but not in those within the root apex. Immunoreactivities of Smad4, Runx2, and Osterix were detected in the hard tissue-forming cells within both areas. These results collectively suggest that the dental pulp contains various types of osteoblast progenitors and that these cells might thus induce bone-like tissue in severely injured pulp.

Abstract
Recent studies have employed two markers, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and STRO-1, to detect cells with mesenchymal stem cell properties in dental pulp. The present study aimed to explore the expression profile of α-SMA and STRO-1 in intact dental pulp as well as during wound healing in adult dental pulp tissue. Healthy pulps were mechanically exposed and capped with the clinically used materials MTA (ProRoot White MTA) or Ca(OH)₂ to induce a mineralized barrier at the exposed surface. After 7-42 days, the teeth were extracted and processed for immunohistochemical analysis using antibodies against α-SMA, STRO-1 and nestin (a neurogenic cytoskeletal protein expressed in odontoblasts). In normal pulp, α-SMA was detected in vascular smooth muscle cells and pericytes. Double immunofluorescent staining with STRO-1 and α-SMA showed that STRO-1 was localized in vascular smooth muscle cells, pericytes and endothelial cells, in addition to nerve fibers. During the process of dental pulp healing, numerous α-SMA-positive cells emerged at the wound margin at 14 days, and the initially formed mineralized barrier was lined with α-SMA-positive cells similar in appearance to reparative odontoblasts, some of which co-expressed nestin. STRO-1 was abundant in nerve fibers. In the advanced stage of mineralized barrier formation at 42 days, cells lining the barrier were stained with nestin, and no staining of α-SMA was detected in those cells. These observations indicate that α-SMA-positive cells temporarily appear along the wound margin during the earlier phase of mineralized barrier formation and STRO-1 is confined in vascular and neuronal elements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cementum is a mineralized tissue that facilitates the attachment of periodontal ligament to the root and surrounding alveolar bone and plays a key role in the regeneration of periodontal tissues. The molecular mechanisms that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of cementoblasts, however, have not been elucidated to date. Enamel molecules are believed to regulate cementoblast differentiation and to initiate the formation of acellular extrinsic fiber cementum. The purpose of this study was therefore to isolate and culture human root-derived cells (HRDC) in order to determine whether they are able to express both cementum and specific enamel proteins and subsequently to confirm these findings in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human root-derived cells were isolated and expanded in vitro. Cells were characterized using RT-PCR, immunostaining, western blotting and by examination of total mRNA to determine the expression of cementum and enamel markers. Human periodontal tissues were also examined for the expression of enamel-related proteins by immunostaining. RESULTS We showed that HRDC express mRNA corresponding to ameloblastin (AMBN), amelogenin (AMEL), enamelin (ENAM), tuftelin (TUFT) and cementum-associated molecules such as cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) and cementum attachment protein (CAP). Western blotting revealed that HRDC express both AMEL and AMBN gene products, as well as the cementum markers CEMP1 and CAP. In vivo, we have showed that AMBN and AMEL are expressed by cementoblasts lining cementum, paravascular cells and periodontal ligament cells. CONCLUSION These results suggest that enamel-associated and cementum-associated proteins could act synergistically in regulating cementoblast differentiation and cementum deposition and offer new approaches on how the cementogenesis process is regulated.

Abstract
Mouse incisor enamel can be divided into four layers: an inner prism-free layer; an inner enamel with prism decussation; outer enamel with parallel prisms; and a superficial prism-free layer. We wanted to study how this complex structural organization is established in the very first enamel formed in wild-type mice and also in Tabby mice where enamel coverage varies considerably. Unworn incisors from young female wild-type and Tabby mice were ground, etched, and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. In both wild-type and Tabby mice, establishment of the enamel structural characteristics in the initially formed enamel proceeded as follows, going from the incisal tip in an apical direction: (i) a zone with prism-free enamel, (ii) a zone with occasional prisms most often inclined incisally, and (iii) a zone where prism decussation was gradually established in the inner enamel. The distribution of enamel in Tabby mice exhibited considerable variability. The sequence of initial enamel formation in mouse incisors mimics development from a primitive (prism-free) structure to an evolved structure. It is suggested that genes controlling enamel distribution are not associated with genes controlling enamel structure. The control of ameloblast configuration, life span, organization in transverse rows, and movement is important for establishing the characteristic mature pattern of mouse incisor enamel.

Abstract
We elucidated the localization of Thy-1-positive cells in the perichondrium of fetal rat limb bones to clarify the distribution of osteogenic cells in the process of endochondral ossification. We also examined the formation of calcified bone-like matrices by isolated perichondrial cells in vitro. At embryonic day (E) 15.5, when the cartilage primodia were formed, immunoreactivity for Thy-1 was detected in cells of the perichondrium adjacent to the zone of hypertrophic chondrocytes. At E17.5, when the bone collar formation and the vascular invasion were initiated, fibroblast-like cells at the sites of vascular invasion, as well as in the perichondrium, showed Thy-1 labeling. Double immunostaining for Thy-1 and osterix revealed that Thy-1 was not expressed in the osterix-positive osteoblasts. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that Thy-1-positive cells in the zone of hypertrophic chondrocytes came in contact with blood vessels. Perichondrial cells isolated from limb bones showed alkaline phosphatase activity and formed calcified bone-like matrices after 4 weeks in osteogenic medium. RT-PCR demonstrated that Thy-1 expression decreased as calcified nodules formed. Conversely, the expression of osteogenic marker genes Runx2, osterix, and osteocalcin increased. These results indicate that Thy-1 is a good marker for characterizing osteoprogenitor cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cells with osteoprogenitor potential are present within periodontal tissues during development and in postnatal life. To identify an osteoprogenitor population, this study utilized a transgenic model in which an alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) promoter directed green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Observation of GFP expression was complemented with analysis of osteogenic differentiation by determining the expression of RNA of bone markers, by histochemical staining for alkaline phosphatase and by the detection of mineralized nodules using xylenol orange. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine the proliferative potential and cell-surface phenotype of cultured alphaSMA-positive cells. RESULTS alphaSMA-GFP expression was detected within the dental follicle and in the apical region of the root (i.e. areas rich in vascularization) but not in mature bone. alphaSMA-GFP expression was observed during the early stages of primary cultures derived from the dental follicle and periodontal ligament and was diminished in areas undergoing mineralization. Intense alkaline phosphatase activity and the presence of mineralized nodules was observed 2 wk after osteogenic induction. Consequently, the expression of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and dentin matrix protein-1 was increased. Flow cytometry revealed that in vitro expansion enriched for an alphaSMA-GFP-positive population in which 55-65% of cells expressed the cell-surface markers Thy1(+) and Sca1(+). The alphaSMA-GFP-positive population exhibited high proliferative and osteogenic potentials when compared with an alphaSMA-GFP-negative population. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that the alphaSMA promoter can be used to identify a population of osteoprogenitor cells residing within the dental follicle and periodontal ligament that can differentiate into mature osteoblasts.

Abstract
Cementogenesis starts with the differentiation of cementoblasts. Mature cementoblasts secrete cementum matrix. Cementum components are similar to bone; moreover, cementoblasts possess many characteristics similar to those of osteoblasts. Runx2 and osterix, the transcriptional factors for osteoblast differentiation, participate in tooth formation. However, the characteristics of Runx2 and osterix during the differentiation process of cementoblasts remain unclear. In this study, we examined the immunolocalization patterns of Runx2, osterix, and osteopontin during rat molar tooth formation. Periodontal ligament cells and osteoblasts located on the alveolar bone surface showed immunoreactivity for Runx2. Colocalization of Runx2 and osterix was detected in cementoblasts, which penetrated the ruptured Hertwig's epithelial root sheath and attached to root dentin. Moreover, osteopontin was observed in Runx2-positive cementoblasts facing the root surface. However, the cells adjacent to cementoblasts showed only Runx2 reactivity. Neither Runx2 nor osterix was seen in cementocytes. These results suggest that both Runx2 and osterix are important for differentiation into cementoblasts. Additionally, osterix may be indispensable for transcription of osteopontin expression.

Abstract
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome that is characterized by lacey reticular hyperpigmentation of the skin, dystrophic nails, mucous membrane leukoplakia and pancytopenia. Diagnosis may be delayed until clinical signs are apparent. Severe pancytopenia frequently causes early mortality of DC patients, who have an increased risk of developing oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Several case reports have described oral changes in DC, which include oral leukoplakia, increased dental caries, hypodontia, thin enamel structure, aggressive periodontitis, intraoral brown pigmentation, tooth loss, taurodontism and blunted roots. We determined the prevalence of these previously reported findings in a cohort of 17 patients with DC and 23 family members. The most common oral changes in DC patients were oral leukoplakia (65% of the entire DC population), decreased root/crown ratio (75% with sufficient tooth development) and mild taurodontism (57% with sufficient tooth development). From the clinical perspective, a diagnosis of DC or other inherited bone marrow failure syndrome should be considered in young persons with oral leukoplakia, particularly those with no history of smoking. Multiple permanent teeth with decreased root/crown ratios further suggest DC.

Abstract
While mineralized tissue is formed in the pulp cavity after tooth replantation or transplantation, little is known of this hard tissue formation. Therefore, we conducted histological and immunohistochemical evaluations of hard tissue formed in the pulp of rat maxillary molars after tooth replantation. At 5 days after replantation, degenerated odontoblasts were lining the pulp cavity. At 14 days, dentin- or bone-like tissue was present in the pulp cavity. Immunoreactivity for osteopontin (OPN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) was strong in the bone-like tissue, but weak in the dentin-like tissue. Conversely, dentin sialoprotein (DSP) was localized in the dentin-like tissue, but not in the bone-like tissue. Cells positive for BMP4, Smad4, Runx2, and Osterix were found around the blood vessels of the root apex at 5 days. At 14 days, these cells were also localized around the bone-like tissue. Cells expressing alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) were seen around the newly formed bone-like tissue, whereas no such cells were found around the newly formed dentin-like tissue. In an experiment involving the transplantation of a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transgenic rat tooth into a wild-type rat tooth socket, GFP-positive cells were detected on the surface of the bone-like tissue and over all dentin-like tissue. These results indicate that the original pulp cells had the ability to differentiate into osteoblast-like cells as well as into odontoblast-like cells.
