Abstract
In the oral and maxillofacial region, the treatment of severe bone defects, caused by fractures, cancers, congenital abnormalities, etc., remains a great challenge. In addition, neurological disorders are frequently accompanied by these bone defects or the treatments for them. Therefore, novel bone regenerative techniques and methods to repair nerve injury are eagerly sought. Among them, strategies using dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are promising options. Human DPSCs can be collected easily from extracted teeth and are now considered a type of mesenchymal stem cell with higher clonogenic and proliferative potential. DPSCs have been getting attention as a cell source for bone and nerve regeneration. In this article, we reviewed the latest studies on osteogenic or neural differentiation of DPSCs as well as bone or neural regeneration methods using DPSCs and discussed the potential of DPSCs for bone and nerve tissue regeneration.

The potential roles of dental pulp stem cells in peripheral nerve regeneration. Front Neurol 2023; 13:1098857.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve diseases are significantly correlated with severe fractures or trauma and surgeries, leading to poor life quality and impairment of physical and mental health. Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are neural crest stem cells with a strong multi-directional differentiation potential and proliferation capacity that provide a novel cell source for nerve regeneration. DPSCs are easily extracted from dental pulp tissue of human permanent or deciduous teeth. DPSCs can express neurotrophic and immunomodulatory factors and, subsequently, induce blood vessel formation and nerve regeneration. Therefore, DPSCs yield valuable therapeutic potential in the management of peripheral neuropathies. With the purpose of summarizing the advances in DPSCs and their potential applications in peripheral neuropathies, this article reviews the biological characteristics of DPSCs in association with the mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration.

Extrapolating neurogenesis of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells on electroactive and electroconductive scaffolds to dental and oral-derived stem cells. Int J Oral Sci 2022; 14:13. [PMID: 35210393 PMCID: PMC8873504 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-022-00164-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The high neurogenic potential of dental and oral-derived stem cells due to their embryonic neural crest origin, coupled with their ready accessibility and easy isolation from clinical waste, make these ideal cell sources for neuroregeneration therapy. Nevertheless, these cells also have high propensity to differentiate into the osteo-odontogenic lineage. One strategy to enhance neurogenesis of these cells may be to recapitulate the natural physiological electrical microenvironment of neural tissues via electroactive or electroconductive tissue engineering scaffolds. Nevertheless, to date, there had been hardly any such studies on these cells. Most relevant scientific information comes from neurogenesis of other mesenchymal stem/stromal cell lineages (particularly bone marrow and adipose tissue) cultured on electroactive and electroconductive scaffolds, which will therefore be the focus of this review. Although there are larger number of similar studies on neural cell lines (i.e. PC12), neural stem/progenitor cells, and pluripotent stem cells, the scientific data from such studies are much less relevant and less translatable to dental and oral-derived stem cells, which are of the mesenchymal lineage. Much extrapolation work is needed to validate that electroactive and electroconductive scaffolds can indeed promote neurogenesis of dental and oral-derived stem cells, which would thus facilitate clinical applications in neuroregeneration therapy.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Though significant insights into the molecular-biochemical-cellular-behavioral basis of PD have been understood, there is no appreciable treatment available till date. Current therapies provide symptomatic relief without any influence on the progression of the disease. Stem cell therapy has been vigorously explored to treat PD. In this comprehensive review, we analyze various stem cell candidates for treating PD and discuss the possible mechanisms. We advocate the advantage of using neural crest originated dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) due to their predisposition towards neural differentiation and their potential to regenerate neurons far better than commonly used bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Eventually, we highlight the current challenges in the field and the strategies which may be used for overcoming the impediments.

Abstract
Objective To determine the effect of the upregulation or knockdown of the ephrinB2 (Efnb2) gene and the effect of EphB4/EphrinB2 signalling in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods Rat BMSCs were infected with lentivirus vectors carrying EphrinB2 and shRNA-EphrinB2. EphrinB2 mRNA and protein levels were quantified. At 28 days of culture with neuronal cell-conditioned differentiation medium, levels of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), CD133 and nestin were detected in EphrinB2/BMSCs and shEphrinB2/BMSCs using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence. The ability of these cells to migrate was evaluated using a transwell assay. Results BMSCs were successfully isolated as indicated by their CD90+ CD29+ CD34– CD45– phenotype. Three days after ephrinB2 transduction, BMSC cell bodies began to shrink and differentiate into neuron-like cells. At 28 days, levels of MAP2, CD133 and nestin, as well as the number of migratory cells, were higher in lenti-EphrinB2-BMSCs than in the two control groups. The shEphrinB2/BMSCs had reduced levels of MAP2, CD133 and nestin; and a lower rate of cell migration. Similarly, increased levels of Grb4 andp21-activated kinase in the EphB4/EphrinB2 reverse signalling pathway were observed by Western blot. Conclusions LV-EphrinB2 can be efficiently transduced into BMSCs, which then differentiate into neuron-like cells.
