Exploration of the role of the subodontoblastic layer in odontoblast-like cell differentiation after tooth drilling using Nestin-enhanced green fluorescent protein transgenic mice. J Oral Biosci 2022; 64:77-84. [PMID: 35031478 DOI: 10.1016/j.job.2022.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Original odontoblasts and regenerated odontoblast-like cells (OBLCs) may differently regulate Nestin expression. This study aimed to investigate the role of the subodontoblastic layer (SOBL) using green fluorescent protein (GFP) reactivity in the process of OBLC differentiation after tooth drilling in Nestin-enhanced GFP transgenic mice. METHODS A groove-shaped cavity was prepared on the mesial surface of the maxillary first molars of 5- or 6-week-old mice under deep anesthesia. Immunohistochemical staining for Nestin and GFP and Nestin in situ hybridization were conducted on the sections obtained at 1-14 days postoperative. RESULTS Odontoblasts showed intense endogenous Nestin protein and mRNA expression, whereas the coronal SOBL cells showed a Nestin-GFP-positive reaction in the control groups. The injured odontoblasts had significantly decreased Nestin immunoreactivity as well as decreased expression of Nestin mRNA 1-2 days after the injury; subsequently, newly differentiated OBLCs were arranged along the pulp-dentin border, with significantly increased Nestin expression as well as increased expression of Nestin mRNA on days 3-5 to form reparative dentin. Nestin-GFP-positive cells at the pulp-dentin border significantly increased in number on days 1 and 2. GFP(+)/Nestin(+) and GFP(-)/Nestin(+) cells were intermingled in the newly differentiated OBLCs. CONCLUSIONS The commitment of Nestin-GFP-positive cells into Nestin-positive OBLCs suggests that the restriction of endogenous Nestin protein and mRNA expression in the static SOBL cells was removed by exogenous stimuli, resulting in their migration along the pulp-dentin border and their differentiation into OBLCs.

Abstract
The dental pulp is a soft connective tissue of ectomesenchymal origin that harbors distinct cell populations, capable of interacting with each other to maintain the vitality of the tooth. After tooth injuries, a sequence of complex biological events takes place in the pulpal tissue to restore its homeostasis. The pulpal response begins with establishing an inflammatory reaction that leads to the formation of a matrix of reactionary or reparative dentin, according to the nature of the exogenous stimuli. Using several in vivo designs, antigen-presenting cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), are identified in the pulpal tissue before tertiary dentin deposition under the afflicted area. However, the precise nature of this phenomenon and its relationship to inherent pulp cells are not yet clarified. This literature review aims to discuss the role of pulpal DCs and their relationship to progenitor/stem cells, odontoblasts or odontoblast-like cells, and other immunocompetent cells during physiological and pathological dentinogenesis. The concept of “dentin-pulp immunology” is proposed for understanding the crosstalk among these cell types after tooth injuries, and the possibility of immune-based therapies is introduced to accelerate pulpal healing after exogenous stimuli.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the role of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh)–Patched (Ptch)–Gli signaling pathway in maintaining dental epithelial and pulp stem/progenitor cells and regulating the function of odontoblasts. Doxycycline (dox)-inducible histone 2B (H2B)–green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice ingested dox at prenatal embryonic days 14.5 or 15.5 and their offspring were collected from postnatal day 1 (P1) to week 3 (P3W). Immunohistochemistry for Gli1, Ptch1, and Ptch2 andin situhybridization forShhandPtch1were conducted. Mandibular incisors of postnatal day 2 H2B-GFP transgenic and wild-type mice were cultivated in a nutrient medium with Shh antibody for 4 days and subsequently processed for immunohistochemistry for Sox2. In molars, dense H2B-GFP-label-retaining cells (H2B-GFP-LRCs) were densely distributed throughout the dental pulp during P1 to postnatal week 2 (P2W) and decreased in number by postnatal P3W, whereas the number of dense H2B-GFP-LRCs in the subodontoblastic layer increased in number at P2W. Gli1+and Pthc1+cells were distributed throughout the enamel organ and dental pulp, including the odontoblast and subodontoblastic layers.ShhmRNA was expressed in the inner enamel epithelium and shifted into odontoblasts after dentin deposition.Ptch1mRNA was expressed in the inner enamel epithelium and cuspal pulpal tissue on P1 and decreased in intensity from postnatal week 1 to P3W. In incisors, the apical bud contained H2B-GFP-LRCs, Gli1+cells, and Ptch1+cells. The addition of Shh antibody to explants induced a decrease in the number of Sox2+cells due to the increase in apoptotic cells in the apical bud. Thus, the Shh–Ptch–Gli signaling pathway plays a role in maintaining quiescent adult stem cells and regulating the function of odontoblasts.

[PMID: 31495928 DOI: 10.1002/jper.19-0269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although numerous reports have demonstrated that the junctional epithelium (JE) is derived from the reduced enamel epithelium (REE), the fate of the REE-derived JE remains controversial. The present study elucidated the fate of the REE-derived JE and the cell dynamics of stem/progenitor cells in the JE following tooth eruption. METHODS Mandibular first molar germs (embryonic days 15 to postnatal 1-day-old) were transplanted into the socket of 2-week-old mice after extraction of the upper first molars of B6 wild-type (WT) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice. After analysis by µ-CT, paraffin sections were processed for immunohistochemistry for Nestin, Ki67 and GFP. We also performed chasing analysis using BrdU-administered TetOP-H2B-GFP mice. RESULTS Amelogenesis progressed normally in the cervical areas, and the structure of the JE was like that in normal tooth development. The JE was GFP-negative in transplantations using GFP transgenic mice as the host, and the oral epithelium (OE) showed a positive reaction. By contrast, the JE remained GFP-positive throughout the experimental period in transplantations using GFP transgenic mice as the donor. Chasing analysis revealed that H2B-GFP- and 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled cells in the basal side of the JE translocated to oral side of the JE as the chasing time increased. Some label-retaining cells remained at the supra-basal cell layer in the JE. CONCLUSION These results suggest that REE-derived cell niche in the JE is maintained for a long time following tooth eruption. Therefore, the JE may be available as the source of the odontogenic epithelium.

Abstract
Although insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) may play a crucial role in activating the functions of periodontal and bone marrow stem cells, the factors responsible for regulating the maintenance of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) remain to be clarified. This study aimed to elucidate the role of IGFBP5 in maintaining pulpal homeostasis during tooth development and pulpal healing after tooth injury in doxycycline-inducible TetOP-histone 2B (H2B)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice (GFP expression was induced at E14.5 or E15.5) by using TUNEL assay, RT-PCR, in situ hybridization for Igfbp5, and immunohistochemistry for IGFBP5, Nestin, and GFP. To observe the pulpal response to exogenous stimuli, the roots of the maxillary first molars were resected, and the coronal portion was autografted into the sublingual region. Intense IGFBP5/Igfbp5 expression was observed in cells from the center of the pulp tissue and the subodontoblastic layer in developing teeth during postnatal Week 4. Intense H2B-GFP-expressing label-retaining cells (LRCs) were localized in the subodontoblastic layer in addition to the center of the pulp tissue, suggesting that slowly dividing cell populations reside in these areas. During postoperative days 3–7, the LRCs were maintained in the dental pulp, showed an IGFBP5-positve reaction in their nuclei, and lacked a TUNEL-positive reaction. In situ hybridization and RT-PCR analyses confirmed the expression of Igfbp5 in the dental pulp. These findings suggest that IGFBP5 play a pivotal role in regulating the survival and apoptosis of DPSCs during both tooth development and pulpal healing following tooth injury.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly phosphorylated glycoprotein that is a prominent component of the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone. The secretion of OPN by immunocompetent cells plays a role in the differentiation of odontoblast-like cells during pulpal healing following tooth transplantation. This study aimed to clarify the role of OPN during reparative dentinogenesis. A groove-shaped cavity was prepared on the mesial surface of the upper first molars of wild-type (WT) and Opn knockout (KO) mice, and the samples were collected at intervals of 1 to 14 d. The demineralized sections were processed for immunohistochemistry for Ki67, nestin, OPN, dentin sialoprotein (DSP), integrin αvβ3, and type I collagen; in situ hybridization for Opn, col1a1, and dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp); and apoptosis assay. For the loss and gain of function experiments, an in vitro culture assay for evaluating dentin-pulp complex regeneration was performed. On day 1 in WT mice, odontoblasts beneath the affected dentin lost nestin immunoreactivity. On day 3, the expression of Opn was recognized at the mesial dental pulp, and OPN was deposited along the predentin-dentin border. Nestin-positive newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells expressed both Dspp and col1a1 and showed positive immunoreactivity for integrin αvβ3, DSP, and type I collagen. Until day 14, reparative dentin formation continued next to the preexisting dentin at the mesial coronal pulp. In contrast, there was no reparative dentin in the Opn KO mice where nestin- and DSP-positive newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells lacked immunoreaction for type I collagen. The in vitro organ culture demonstrated that the administration of recombinant OPN rescued the type I collagen secretion by odontoblast-like cells in the Opn KO mice. The results suggested that the deposition of OPN at the calcification front is essential for the type I collagen secretion by newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells to form reparative dentin during pulpal healing following cavity preparation.

Abstract
Autologous tooth germ transplantation of immature teeth is an alternative method of tooth replacement that could be used instead of dental implants in younger patients. However, it is paramount that the dental pulp remain vital and that root formation continue in the transplanted location. The goal of this study is to characterize the healing of allogenic tooth grafts in an animal model using GFP-labeled donor or host postnatal mice. In addition, the putative stem cells were labeled before transplantation with a pulse-chase paradigm. Transplanted molars formed cusps and roots and erupted into occlusion by 2 wk postoperatively. Host label-retaining cells (LRCs) were maintained in the center of pulp tissue associating with blood vessels. Dual labeling showed that a proportion of LRCs were incorporated into the odontoblast layer. Host cells, including putative dendritic cells and the endothelium, also immigrated into the pulp tissue but did not contribute to the odontoblast layer. Therefore, LRCs or putative mesenchymal stem cells are retained in the transplanted pulps. Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath remains vital, and epithelial LRCs are present in the donor cervical loops. Thus, the dynamic donor-host interaction occurred in the developing transplant, suggesting that these changes affect the characteristics of the dental pulp.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tissue regeneration in root canals after pulpectomy can be achieved by transplantation of autologous dental pulp stem cells and/or platelet-rich plasma. However, the identity of the newly formed tissue in the pulp space has been only examined by histologic analysis. This study aimed to apply immunohistochemistry and histochemistry to detect specific markers in the newly generated tissues after root canal regenerative treatment. METHODS In our previous study, 32 root canals in 4 mature dogs were treated with a pulp regeneration procedure after pulpectomy using either blood clot, transplantation of dental pulp stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, or a combination of cells and plasma. In the present study, the tissues were examined for the expression of periostin to detect periodontal ligament tissue, nestin and dentin sialoprotein for odontoblasts, and bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin for bone tissues. Samples were also stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) as a marker for osteoclastic lineages. RESULTS Continuous periostin-positive tissue was observed extending from the periodontal ligament into the inner canal surface in which the mineral islands were surrounded by weak periostin staining. There was also positive staining for TRAP, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin in the canal space, suggesting the presence of bone tissue. A layer of mineralized tissue along the inner surface of the root canal was negative for TRAP, suggesting the tissue likely to be cementum. In all samples, no nestin-positive reaction was observed, whereas dentin sialoprotein was detected in PDL, dentinal tubules, and intracanal fibrous tissues. There was no difference between any of the 4 groups. CONCLUSIONS The tissues formed in the dog mature root canals after regenerative endodontic procedures are not pulp tissues but mainly periodontal tissues.

Abstract
Our recent study suggested that allogenic tooth transplantation may affect the maintenance of dental pulp stem/progenitor cells. This study aims to elucidate the influence of allograft on the maintenance of dental pulp stem/progenitor cells following tooth replantation and allo- or auto-genic tooth transplantation in mice using BrdU chasing, immunohistochemistry for BrdU, nestin and Ki67, in situ hybridization for Dspp, transmission electron microscopy and TUNEL assay. Following extraction of the maxillary first molar in BrdU-labeled animals, the tooth was immediately repositioned in the original socket, or the roots were resected and immediately allo- or auto-grafted into the sublingual region in non-labeled or the same animals. In the control group, two types of BrdU label-retaining cells (LRCs) were distributed throughout the dental pulp: those with dense or those with granular reaction for BrdU. In the replants and autogenic transplants, dense LRCs remained in the center of dental pulp associating with the perivascular environment throughout the experimental period and possessed a proliferative capacity and maintained the differentiation capacity into the odontoblast-like cells or fibroblasts. In contrast, LRCs disappeared in the center of the pulp tissue by postoperative week 4 in the allografts. The disappearance of LRCs was attributed to the extensive apoptosis occurring significantly in LRCs except for the newly-differentiated odontoblast-like cells even in cases without immunological rejection. The results suggest that the host and recipient interaction in the allografts disturbs the maintenance of dense LRCs, presumably stem/progenitor cells, resulting in the disappearance of these cell types.
