Dent Mater 2024:S0109-5641(24)00179-9. [PMID: 38908960 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.06.021] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Silicon-releasing biomaterials are widely used in the field of dentistry. However, unlike bone, very little is known about the role of silicon on dental tissue formation and repair. This study investigates the influence of silicic acid on the survival, differentiation and mineralizing ability of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in 3D pulp-like environments METHODS: Dense type I collagen hydrogels seeded with hDPSCs were cultured over 4 weeks in the presence of silicic acid at physiological (10 μM) and supraphysiological (100 μM) concentrations. Cell viability and proliferation were studied by Alamar Blue and live/dead staining. The collagen network was investigated using second harmonic generation imaging. Mineral deposition was monitored by histology and scanning electron microscopy. Gene expression of mineralization- and matrix remodeling-associated proteins was studied by qPCR. RESULTS Presence of silicic acid did not show any significant influence on cell survival, metabolic activity and gene expression of key mineralization-related proteins (ALP, OCN, BSP). However, it induced enhanced cell clustering and delayed expression of matrix remodeling-associated proteins (MMP13, Col I). OPN expression and mineral deposition were inhibited at 100 μM. It could be inferred that silicic acid has no direct cellular effect but rather interacts with the collagen network, leading to a modification of the cell-matrix interface. SIGNIFICANCE Our results offer advanced insights on the possible role of silicic acid, as released by pulp capping calcium silicates biomaterials, in reparative dentine formation. More globally, these results interrogate the possible role of Si in pulp pathophysiology.

Abstract
MMP13 gene expression increases up to 2000-fold in mineralizing dental pulp cells (DPCs), with research previously demonstrating that global MMP13 deletion resulted in critical alterations in the dentine phenotype, affecting dentine-tubule regularity, the odontoblast palisade, and significantly reducing the dentine volume. Global MMP13-KO and wild-type mice of a range of ages had their molar teeth injured to stimulate reactionary tertiary dentinogenesis. The response was measured qualitatively and quantitatively using histology, immunohistochemistry, micro-CT, and qRT-PCR in order to assess changes in the nature and volume of dentine deposited as well as mechanistic links. MMP13 loss affected the reactionary tertiary dentine quality and volume after cuspal injury and reduced Nestin expression in a non-exposure injury model, as well as mechanistic links between MMP13 and the Wnt-responsive gene Axin2. Acute pulpal injury and pulp exposure to oral fluids in mice teeth showed upregulation of the MMP13 in vivo, with an increase in the gene expression of Mmp8, Mmp9, and Mmp13 evident. These results indicate that MMP13 is involved in tertiary reactionary dentine formation after tooth injury in vivo, potentially acting as a key molecule in the dental pulp during dentine-pulp repair processes.

Abstract
Growth factor (GF) mimicry involves recapitulating the signaling of larger molecules or cells. Although GF mimicry holds considerable promise in tissue engineering and drug design applications, difficulties in targeting the signaling molecule to the site of delivery and dissociation of mimicking peptides from their target receptors continue to limit its clinical application. To address these challenges, we utilized a self-assembling peptide (SAP) platform to generate synthetic insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-signaling, self-assembling GFs. Our peptide hydrogels are biocompatible and bind target IGF receptors in a dose-dependent fashion, activate proangiogenic signaling, and facilitate formation of angiogenic microtubules in vitro. Furthermore, infiltrated hydrogels are stable for weeks to months. We conclude that the enhanced targeting and long-term stability of our SAP/GF mimicry implants may improve the efficacy and safety of future GF mimic therapeutics.

The odontoblastic differentiation of dental mesenchymal stem cells: molecular regulation mechanism and related genetic syndromes. Front Cell Dev Biol 2023; 11:1174579. [PMID: 37818127 PMCID: PMC10561098 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1174579] [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: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells that can differentiate into multiple lineages including odontoblasts, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neural cells, myocytes, cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, endothelial cells, melanocytes, and hepatocytes. Odontoblastic differentiation of DMSCs is pivotal in dentinogenesis, a delicate and dynamic process regulated at the molecular level by signaling pathways, transcription factors, and posttranscriptional and epigenetic regulation. Mutations or dysregulation of related genes may contribute to genetic diseases with dentin defects caused by impaired odontoblastic differentiation, including tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), Raine syndrome (RS), hypophosphatasia (HPP), Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD), and Elsahy-Waters syndrome (EWS). Herein, recent progress in the molecular regulation of the odontoblastic differentiation of DMSCs is summarized. In addition, genetic syndromes associated with disorders of odontoblastic differentiation of DMSCs are discussed. An improved understanding of the molecular regulation and related genetic syndromes may help clinicians better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of dentin lesions in systematic diseases and identify novel treatment targets.
