Phosphorylated pullulan promotes calcification during bone regeneration in the bone defects of rat tibiae. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1243951. [PMID: 37885453 PMCID: PMC10598676 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1243951] [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: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate bone tissue regeneration using a combination of β-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) and phosphorylated pullulan (PPL, a phosphate-rich polysaccharide polymer consisting of maltotriose units). Round defects of 2 mm diameter were created in the arterial center of rat tibiae, which were further treated with vehicle (control group), βTCP (βTCP group), or βTCP + PPL (βTCP + PPL group) grafts. The control specimens without bone grafts exhibited rapid bone formation after 1 week; however, the regenerated bone was not resorbed until 4 weeks. In contrast, βTCP-grafted specimens exhibited fewer but thicker trabeculae, whereas the βTCP + PPL group displayed many fine trabeculae at 4 weeks. In the βTCP + PPL group, new bone was associated with the βTCP granules and PPL. Similarly, PHOSPHO1-positive osteoblasts were localized on the βTCP granules as well as the PPL. On the other hand, TRAP-reactive osteoclasts predominantly localized on newly-formed bone and βTCP granules rather than on the PPL. No significant differences were observed in the expression of Alp, Integrin αv, Osteopontin, Osteocalcin, and Dmp-1 in PPL-treated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells, suggesting that PPL did not facilitate osteoblastic differentiation. However, von Kossa staining identified abundant needle-like calcified structures extending inside the PPL. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed many globular structures identical to calcified nodules. In addition, calcified collagen fibrils were observed in the superficial layer of the PPL. Thus, PPL may serve as a scaffold for osteoblastic bone formation and promotes calcification on its surface. In conclusion, we speculated that βTCP and PPL might promote bone regeneration and could be integrated into promising osteoconductive materials.

Histological evaluation of a novel phosphorylated pullulan-based pulp capping material: An in vivo study on rat molars. Int Endod J 2021; 54:1902-1914.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the dental pulp response to a novel mineral trioxide aggregate containing phosphorylated pullulan (MTAPPL) in rats after direct pulp capping. METHODS Ninety-six cavities were prepared in the maxillary first molars of 56 male Wistar rats. The dental pulps were intentionally exposed and randomly divided into four groups according to the application of pulp capping materials: MTAPPL; phosphorylated pullulan (PPL); a conventional MTA (Nex-Cem MTA, NCMTA; positive control); and Super-Bond (SB; negative control). All cavities were restored with SB and observed for pulpal responses at 1-, 3-, 7- and 28-day intervals using a histological scoring system. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni's correction, and the level of significance was set at 0.05. DMP1 and CD34 antigen were used to evaluate odontoblast differentiation and pulpal vascularization, respectively. RESULTS On day 1, mild inflammatory cells were present in MTAPPL and NCMTA groups; fewer inflammatory cells were present in the PPL, whereas SB was associated with a mild-to-moderate inflammatory response. A significant difference was observed between PPL and SB (p < .05). No mineralized tissue deposition was observed. On day 3, moderate-to-severe inflammatory cells were present in PPL and SB, whereas MTAPPL and NCMTA had a mild inflammatory response. Initial mineralized tissue deposition was observed in the NCMTA, MTAPPL and SB. A significant difference was observed between MTAPPL and PPL (p < .05). On day 7, a thin layer of mineralized tissue was observed in all tested groups with no or mild inflammatory response. On day 28, no inflammatory response was observed in MTAPPL, whereas NCMTA, PPL and SB had mild inflammatory responses. A significant difference was observed between MTAPPL and SB (p < .05). Complete mineralized tissue barrier formation was observed in MTAPPL, NCMTA and PPL with no significant difference (p > .05). SB exhibited incomplete mineralized tissue barriers, significantly different from NCMTA, MTAPPL and PPL (p < .05). The staining with CD34 was positive in all the groups on all observation days. CONCLUSION The favourable pulpal responses and induction of mineralized tissue formation associated with MTAPPL indicate its potential application as a direct pulp capping material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of the eluates from 3 freshly-mixed and setting hydraulic calcium-silicate cements (hCSCs) on human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) and to examine the effect of a newly developed hCSC containing phosphopullulan (PPL) on HDPCs. METHODS Human dental pulp cells, previously characterized as mesenchymal stem cells, were used. To collect the eluates, disks occupying the whole surface of a 12-well plate were prepared using an experimental hCSC containing phosphopullulan (GC), Nex-Cem MTA (GC), Biodentine (Septodont) or a zinc-oxide (ZnO) eugenol cement (material-related negative control). Immediately after preparing the disks (non-set), 3ml of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) were added. The medium was left in contact with the disks for 24h before being collected. Four different dilutions were prepared (100%, 50%, 25% and 10%) and cell-cytotoxicity, cell-proliferation, cell-migration and odontogenic differentiation were tested. The cell-cytotoxicity and cell-proliferation assays were performed by XTT-colorimetric assay at different time points. The cell-migration ability was tested with the wound-healing assay and the odontogenic differentiation capacity of hCSCs on HDPCs was tested with RT-PCR. RESULTS Considering all experimental data together, the eluates from 3 freshly-mixed and setting hCSCs appeared not cytotoxic toward HDPCs. Moreover, all three cements stimulated proliferation, migration and odontogenic differentiation of HDPCs. SIGNIFICANCE The use of freshly-mixed and setting hCSCs is an appropriate approach to test the effect of the materials on human dental pulp cells. The experimental material containing PPL is non-cytotoxic and positively stimulates HDPCs.
