Abstract
This systematic review evaluates clinical studies investigating regenerative endodontic procedures for mature/immature teeth utilizing stem cell transplantation. An electronic search of Scopus, PubMed, ISI Web Science, and Google Scholar was conducted up to January 2023. Outcome measures encompassed radiographic (periapical lesion, root length, apical foramen width, volume of the regenerated pulp) and clinical (post-operative pain, sensibility test) parameters. Among 3250 identified articles, five clinical studies were selected, comprising two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for mature/immature teeth, and three case reports/series for mature teeth. Despite the promising potential, the included studies exhibited a notable risk of bias. The diversity in stem cells (e.g., dental pulp stem cells [DPSCs], umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells [UC-MSCs]), scaffolds (Atecollagen, collagen membrane, platelet-poor plasma [PPP], leukocyte platelet-rich in fibrin [L-PRF]), and growth factors (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]) emphasized the heterogeneity across interventions. In RCTs, DPSCs application increased root length and reduced apical foramen width in immature teeth, while UC-MSCs transplantation reduced apical lesions in mature teeth. Transplantation of DPSCs aggregates or UC-MSCs/PPP also elicited positive pulp responses and increased blood flow. In case reports/series, DPSCs application in teeth with irreversible pulpitis resulted in mineralization and increased the regenerated pulp' volume. Furthermore, transplantation of DPSCs with G-CSF/atelocollagen or L-PRF/collagen membrane led to positive pulp responses. While underscoring the potential of stem cell transplantation for regenerative endodontics in mature/immature teeth, the overall evidence quality and the limited number of available studies emphasize the need for cautious interpretation of results. Future well-designed clinical studies are essential to validate these findings further.

Abstract
Dentin-pulp regeneration through stem/progenitor cell transplantation represents a promising frontier in regenerative endodontics. This systematic review meticulously evaluates animal studies to investigate the efficacy of stem cell therapy in repairing/regenerating the dentine-pulp complex in mature/immature animal teeth. Employing a comprehensive electronic search of PubMed and Scopus databases up to October 2023, relevant English studies were identified/assessed. Evaluation parameters encompassed radiographic and histological assessments of dentin-pulp complex formation. Outcome measures included pulp-like and dentin-like tissues regeneration, apical healing, dentin thickening, apical closure, and dentinal bridge formation. The risk-of-bias assessment adhered to the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) guidelines. Out of 3250 identified articles, 23 animal experiments were included, categorized into regenerative procedures in mature teeth (n=11), regenerative procedures in immature teeth (n=4), and vital pulp therapy (n=8). Despite the promising potential, the bias in the included studies was high. Notably, Various scaffolds, and growth factors were employed, highlighting the heterogeneity across the studies. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and bone marrow stem cells, especially specific subfractions, demonstrated notable regenerative potential: hypoxic conditions and extracellular vesicles from preconditioned DPSCs enhanced regeneration, with considerations of cell fate. Donor age impacted regeneration, and challenges persisted in pulpotomy and direct pulp capping. Scaffold and growth factor choices influenced outcomes, underscoring the need for standardized strategies. Despite the promise, clinical viability faces hurdles, necessitating further investigation into adverse effects, optimized scaffolds, and regulatory considerations. This systematic review illuminates the potential of stem cell transplantation for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. The overall evidence quality, influenced by study heterogeneity and biases, underscores the need for cautious interpretation of findings. Future studies should refine methodologies and establish reliable histological parameters for meaningful advancements in dentin-pulp regeneration.

Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:219. [PMID: 38492123 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05616-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the regulatory roles of lncRNA MALAT1, miR-124-3p, and IGF2BP1 in osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We characterized PDLSCs by employing quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analyses to evaluate the expression of key osteogenic markers including ALPL, SPP1, and RUNX2. Manipulation of lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-124-3p expression levels was achieved through transfection techniques. In addition, early osteogenic differentiation was assessed via Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and mineral deposition was quantified using Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining. Cellular localization of lncRNA MALAT1 was determined through Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). To elucidate the intricate regulatory network, we conducted dual-luciferase reporter assays to decipher the binding interactions between lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-124-3P as well as between miR-124-3P and IGF2BP1. RESULTS Overexpression of lncRNA MALAT1 robustly promoted osteogenesis in PDLSCs, while its knockdown significantly inhibited the process. We confirmed the direct interaction between miR-124-3p and lncRNA MALAT1, underscoring its role in impeding osteogenic differentiation. Notably, IGF2BP1 was identified as a direct binding partner of lncRNA MALAT1, highlighting its pivotal role within this intricate network. Moreover, we determined the optimal IGF2BP1 concentration (50 ng/ml) as a potent enhancer of osteogenesis, effectively countering the inhibition induced by si-MALAT1. Furthermore, in vivo experiments utilizing rat calvarial defects provided compelling evidence, solidifying lncRNA MALAT1's crucial role in bone formation. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals the regulatory network involving lncRNA MALAT1, miR-124-3p, and IGF2BP1 in PDLSCs' osteogenic differentiation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings enhance our understanding of lncRNA-mediated osteogenesis, offering potential therapeutic implications for periodontal tissue regeneration and the treatment of bone defects.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032206.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) transplant to recover the optimal tissue structure/function relationship is a promising strategy to regenerate tissue lesions. Because filling local tissue defects by injection alone is often challenging, designing adequate cell carriers with suitable characteristics is critical for in situ ASC delivery. The aim of this study was to optimize the generation phase of a platelet-lysate-based fibrin hydrogel (PLFH) as a proper carrier for in situ ASC implantation and (1) to investigate in vitro PLFH biomechanical properties, cell viability, proliferation and migration sustainability, and (2) to comprehensively assess the local in vivo PLFH/ASC safety profile (local tolerance, ASC fate, biodistribution and toxicity). We first defined the experimental conditions to enhance physicochemical properties and microscopic features of PLFH as an adequate ASC vehicle. When ASC were mixed with PLFH, in vitro assays exhibited hydrogel supporting cell migration, viability and proliferation. In vivo local subcutaneous and subgingival PLFH/ASC administration in nude mice allowed us to generate biosafety data, including biodegradability, tolerance, ASC fate and engraftment, and the absence of biodistribution and toxicity to non-target tissues. Our data strongly suggest that this novel combined ATMP for in situ administration is safe with an efficient local ASC engraftment, supporting the further development for human clinical cell therapy.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano-sized bilayer membrane structures containing lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, play key roles in intercellular communication. Compared to stem cells, EVs have lower tumorigenicity and immunogenicity, are easier to manage and cause fewer ethic problems. In recent years, EVs have emerged as a potential solution for tissue regeneration in stomatology through cell-free therapies. The present review focuses on the role of EVs in dental and maxillofacial tissue repair and regeneration, including in dental and periodontal tissue, maxilla and mandible bone, temporomandibular joint cartilage, peripheral nerve and soft tissue. We also make a brief overview on the mechanism of EVs performing functions. However, limitations and challenges in clinical application of EVs still exist and should be addressed in future researches.

Abstract
Background Butyrate is a major subgingival microbial metabolite that is closely related to periodontal disease. It affects the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. However, the mechanisms by which butyrate affects the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) on the osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs. Methods PDLSCs were isolated from human periodontal ligaments and treated with various concentrations of NaB in vitro. The cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometric analysis were used to assess cell viability. The osteogenic differentiation capabilities of PDLSCs were evaluated using the alkaline phosphatase activity assay, alizarin red staining, RT-PCR, western blotting and in vivo transplantation. Results NaB decreased PDLSC proliferation and induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-depend manner. Additionally, 1 mM NaB reduced alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization ability, and the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related genes and proteins. Treatment with a free fatty acids receptor 2 (FFAR2) antagonist and agonist indicated that NaB inhibited the osteogenic differentiation capacity of PDLSCs by affecting the expression of Smad1. Conclusion Our findings suggest that NaB inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by activating FFAR2 and decreasing the expression of Smad1.

Abstract
Increasing attention has been paid to cell-based medicines. Many in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the efficacy of stem cell transplantation for the regeneration of periodontal tissues over the past 20 years. Although positive evidence has accumulated regarding periodontal regeneration using stem cells, the exact mechanism of tissue regeneration is still largely unknown. This review outlines the practicality and emerging problems of stem cell transplantation therapy for periodontal regeneration. In addition, possible solutions to these problems and cell-free treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Disease and trauma leading to tooth loss and destruction of supporting bone is a significant oral handicap, which may be addressed through surgical therapies that aim to regenerate the lost tissue. Whilst complete regeneration of teeth is still aspirational, regeneration of supporting structures (dental pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament, bone) is becoming commonplace, both for teeth and for titanium dental implants that are used to replace teeth. Most grafting materials are essentially passive, however the next generation of oral regenerative devices will combine non-antibiotic antimicrobials and/or osteogenic or inductive factors and/or appropriate multipotential stem cells. The review gives an overview of the approaches taken, including fabrication of novel scaffolds, incorporation of growth factors and cell-based therapies, and discusses the preclinical animal models we employ in the development pathway.

Abstract
The ability of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) to differentiate into osteoblasts is significant in periodontal regeneration tissue engineering. In this study, we explored the role and mechanism of circRNA FAT1 (circFAT1) in the osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs. The proliferation capacity of PDLSCs was evaluated by EdU and CCK-8 assay. The abilities of circFAT1 and miR-4781-3p in regulating PDLSC differentiation were analyzed by western blot, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Alizarin red staining (ARS). A nucleocytoplasmic separation experiment was utilized for circFAT1 localization. A dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the binding relationship between miR-4781-3p and circFAT1. It was showed that circFAT1 does not affect the proliferation of PDLSCs. The osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was benefited from circFAT1, which serves as a miRNA sponge for miR-4781-3p targeting SMAD5. Both knockdown of circFAT1 and overexpression of miR-4781-3p suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Thus, circFAT1 might be considered as a potential target of PDLSCs mediated periodontal bone regeneration.

Abstract
Abstract The development of natural biomaterials applied for hard tissue repair and regeneration is of great importance, especially in societies with a large elderly population. Self-assembled peptide hydrogels are a new generation of biomaterials that provide excellent biocompatibility, tunable mechanical stability, injectability, trigger capability, lack of immunogenic reactions, and the ability to load cells and active pharmaceutical agents for tissue regeneration. Peptide-based hydrogels are ideal templates for the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals, which can mimic the extracellular matrix. Thus, peptide-based hydrogels enhance hard tissue repair and regeneration compared to conventional methods. This review presents three major self-assembled peptide hydrogels with potential application for bone and dental tissue regeneration, including ionic self-complementary peptides, amphiphilic (surfactant-like) peptides, and triple-helix (collagen-like) peptides. Special attention is given to the main bioactive peptides, the role and importance of self-assembled peptide hydrogels, and a brief overview on molecular simulation of self-assembled peptide hydrogels applied for bone and dental tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are involved in the regeneration of the different missing or compromised periodontal tissues. MSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) have recently been explored as a favorable substitution for stem cell therapy, as they are capable of producing therapeutic effects comparable to those of their parent cells, with advantages over cell therapy. The aim of this review is to evaluate the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)-derived sEV as cell-free therapy in periodontal regeneration. A review of the scientific literature on sEV and their use in periodontal regeneration was performed. The main characteristics of sEV are described, and their mechanisms of action and potential biological effects in periodontal regeneration are studied. A summary of existing preclinical studies conducted in animals is performed. The results indicate that sEV derived from MSC are emerging as a promising new therapeutic tool in the field of periodontal regeneration and may become an ideal therapeutic option. In this review, we have summarized recent advances in this regard in order to better understand this newly emerging treatment. First results in vivo are promising and show a favorable potential for cell-free therapy in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Background Periodontal tissue regeneration (PTR) is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. Currently, stem cell therapy is considered a promising strategy for achieving PTR. However, there is still no conclusive comparison that distinguishes clear hierarchies among different kinds of stem cells. Methods A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science up to February 2020. Preclinical studies assessing five types of stem cells for PTR were included; the five types of stem cells included periodontal ligament-derived stem cells (PDLSCs), bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs), and gingival-derived stem cells (GMSCs). The primary outcomes were three histological indicators with continuous variables: newly formed alveolar bone (NB), newly formed cementum (NC), and newly formed periodontal ligament (NPDL). We performed pairwise meta-analyses using a random-effects model and then performed a random-effects NMA using a multivariate meta-analysis model. Results Sixty preclinical studies assessing five different stem cell-based therapies were identified. The NMA showed that in terms of NB, PDLSCs (standardized mean difference 1.87, 95% credible interval 1.24 to 2.51), BMSCs (1.88, 1.17 to 2.59), and DPSCs (1.69, 0.64 to 2.75) were statistically more efficacious than cell carriers (CCs). In addition, PDLSCs were superior to GMSCs (1.49, 0.04 to 2.94). For NC, PDLSCs (2.18, 1.48 to 2.87), BMSCs (2.11, 1.28 to 2.94), and ADSCs (1.55, 0.18 to 2.91) were superior to CCs. For NPDL, PDLSCs (1.69, 0.92 to 2.47) and BMSCs (1.41, 0.56 to 2.26) were more efficacious than CCs, and PDLSCs (1.26, 0.11 to 2.42) were superior to GMSCs. The results of treatment hierarchies also demonstrated that the two highest-ranked interventions were PDLSCs and BMSCs. Conclusion PDLSCs and BMSCs were the most effective and well-documented stem cells for PTR among the five kinds of stem cells evaluated in this study, and there was no statistical significance between them. To translate the stem cell therapies for PTR successfully in the clinic, future studies should utilize robust experimental designs and reports.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) grafting is a highly promising alternative strategy for periodontal regeneration in periodontitis, which is one of the primary causes of tooth loss in the elderly. However, aging progressively decreases the proliferative and differentiation potential of MSCs and diminishes their regenerative capacity, which represents a limiting factor for their endogenous use in elderly patients. Therefore, tissue regeneration therapy with MSCs in this age group may require a cellular source without the physiological limitations that MSCs exhibit in aging. In this sense, exogenous or allogeneic MSCs could have a better chance of success in regenerating periodontal tissue in elderly patients. This review examines and synthesizes recent data in support of the use of MSCs for periodontal regenerative therapy in patients. Additionally, we analyze the progress of the therapeutic use of exogenous MSCs in humans.

Purinergic Signal 2020; 16:263-287. [PMID: 32500422 DOI: 10.1007/s11302-020-09703-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2019] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The role played by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in contributing to adult tissue homeostasis and damage repair thanks to their differentiation capabilities has raised a great interest, mainly in bone regenerative medicine. The growth/function of these undifferentiated cells of mesodermal origin, located in specialized structures (niches) of differentiated organs is influenced by substances present in this microenvironment. Among them, ancestral and ubiquitous molecules such as adenine-based purines, i.e., ATP and adenosine, may be included. Notably, extracellular purine concentrations greatly increase during tissue injury; thus, MSCs are exposed to effects mediated by these agents interacting with their own receptors when they act/migrate in vivo or are transplanted into a damaged tissue. Here, we reported that ATP modulates MSC osteogenic differentiation via different P2Y and P2X receptors, but data are often inconclusive/contradictory so that the ATP receptor importance for MSC physiology/differentiation into osteoblasts is yet undetermined. An exception is represented by P2X7 receptors, whose expression was shown at various differentiation stages of bone cells resulting essential for differentiation/survival of both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. As well, adenosine, usually derived from extracellular ATP metabolism, can promote osteogenesis, likely via A2B receptors, even though findings from human MSCs should be implemented and confirmed in preclinical models. Therefore, although many data have revealed possible effects caused by extracellular purines in bone healing/remodeling, further studies, hopefully performed in in vivo models, are necessary to identify defined roles for these compounds in favoring/increasing the pro-osteogenic properties of MSCs and thereby their usefulness in bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The aim of the systematic review was to analyze the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and biomaterial for periodontal regeneration from preclinical animal models and human. Electronic databases were searched and additional hand-search in leading journals was performed. The research strategy was achieved according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The including criteria were as follows: MSC, biomaterial, in vivo studies, with histologic and radiologic analysis and written in English. The risk of bias was assessed for individual studies. A total of 50 articles were selected and investigated in the systematic review. These results indicate that MSC and scaffold provide beneficial effects on periodontal regeneration, with no adverse effects of such interventions. Future studies need to identify the suitable association of MSC and biomaterial and to characterize the type of new cementum and the organization of the periodontal ligament fiber regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the osteogenic differentiation of dental follicle cells (DFCs) in vitro and on the regenerative effects of DFC-OsteoBoneTM complexes in vivo. DFCs were isolated and characterized. In the in vitro study, DFCs were cultured in an osteogenic medium in the presence or absence of LIPUS. The expression levels of ALP, Runx2, OSX, and COL-I mRNA were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on day 7. Alizarin red staining was performed on day 21. The state of the growth of the DFCs that were seeded on the scaffold at 3, 5, 7, and 9 days was detected by using a scanning electron microscope. In our in vivo study, 9 healthy nude mice randomly underwent subcutaneous transplantation surgery in one of three groups: group A, empty scaffold; group B, DFCs + scaffold; and group C, DFCs + scaffold + LIPUS. After 8 weeks of implantation, a histological analysis was performed by HE and Mason staining. Our results indicate that LIPUS promotes the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs by increasing the expression of the ALP, Runx2, OSX, and COL-I genes and the formation of mineralized nodules. The cells can adhere and grow on the scaffolds and grow best at 9 days. The HE and Mason staining results showed that more cells, fibrous tissue and blood vessels could be observed in the DFCs + scaffold + LIPUS group than in the other groups. LIPUS could promote the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs in vitro and promote tissue regeneration in a DFCs-scaffold complex in vivo. Further studies should be conducted to explore the underlying mechanisms of LIPUS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in periodontal regeneration in humans on the following main outcomes: clinical attachment level (CAL), probing depth (PD), and gingival recession (GR). BACKGROUND The clinical application of stem cells in periodontal regeneration has begun in recent years, but clinical practices are not yet standardized and no recommendations are available at this time. METHODS Electronic database searches and hand searches were conducted. All types of studies, case series, and case reports were qualitatively described. Double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating MSCs in periodontal regeneration were included in a meta-analysis if they compared administration of MSCs vs application of stem cell-free therapy in the control group, in healthy patients with periodontal defects, with a minimum of three mo of follow-up. RESULTS Fifteen reports were included in qualitative analysis, involving 123 patients and 158 periodontal defects. Only two small RCTs at high risk of bias, with a total of 59 patients and 70 periodontal defects, were included in the meta-analysis. A small but significant difference between test and control groups was found for CAL at three mo (-0.90 mm, 95% CI [-1.51; -0.29]), but not for PD and GR. CONCLUSION Low-quality evidence suggests that MSC-based therapy may have a small impact on periodontal regeneration. However, due to the monocentric character, the small sample size, and potential heterogeneity across the two included RCTs, these results must not be considered as definitive. High-quality RCTs are needed before any clinical use of MSCs in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Owing to excellent therapeutic potential, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are gaining increasing popularity with researchers worldwide for applications in tissue engineering, and in treatment of inflammation-related and age-related disorders. However, the senescence of MSCs over passaging has limited their clinical application owing to adverse effect on physiological function maintenance of tissues as well as disease treatment. An inflammatory microenvironment is one of the key contributors to MSC senescence, resulting in low regeneration efficiency. Therefore, MSCs with high resistance to cellular senescence would be a benefit for tissue regeneration. Toward this end, we analyzed the senescence properties of different types of stem cells during culture and under inflammation, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Overall, the DPSCs had higher proliferation rates, lower cellular senescence, and enhanced osteogenesis maintenance compared to those of non-dental MSCs cultured from passage three to six. The expression profiles of genes related to apoptosis, cell cycle, and cellular protein metabolic process (contributing to the cell self-renewal ability and metabolic processes) significantly differed between DPSCs and BMMSCs at passage three. Moreover, DPSCs were superior to BMMSCs with regards to resistance to lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and senescence, with enhanced osteogenesis in vitro, and showed improved periodontal regeneration after injection in a miniature pig periodontitis model in vivo. Overall, the present study indicates that DPSCs show superior resistance to subculture and inflammation-induced senescence and would be suitable stem cells for tissue engineering with inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontal tissue engineering is an attractive approach for restoring periodontal-supporting structures and functions. However, complete periodontal regeneration has not been accomplished. Previous studies demonstrated the feasibility of using cell sheets and treated dentin matrix (TDM) to regenerate bio-roots. METHODS In this study, we regenerated periodontal tissue using cell sheets combined with TDM particles (TDMPs). Human dental follicle cells (hDFCs) were isolated and characterized. Human dental follicle cells sheets (hDFCSs) and human TDMPs (hTDMP) were fabricated and characterized. The osteogenic effect of hTDMP was evaluated on human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) in vitro and a rat calvarial bone defect in vivo. Real-time PCR, western blotting, radiograph analysis, and histological analysis were performed to evaluate the periodontal induction capacity of hTDMP. One-wall periodontal intrabony defects were prepared to evaluate the periodontal regeneration capacity of TDMP/DFCSs on beagle dogs. RESULTS The results showed that hDFCs were mesenchymal stem cells. hTDMP promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. New bone formation was observed in the rat calvarial bone defect zone in both the hTDMP and hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate groups. Periodontal-like tissues showed better regeneration in the canine TDMP+DFCS group than in the other groups. SIGNIFICANCE These results demonstrate the potential of using TDMP/DFCSs in periodontal regeneration.

Yu B, Li Q, Zhou M. LPS‑induced upregulation of the TLR4 signaling pathway inhibits osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells under inflammatory conditions. Int J Mol Med 2019; 43:2341-2351. [PMID: 31017254 PMCID: PMC6488177 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2019.4165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2018] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a transmembrane receptor responsible for the activation of a number of signal transduction pathways. Despite its involvement in inflammatory processes, the regulation of TLR4 signaling in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under inflammatory conditions remains to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of the TLR4 signaling pathway and its role in the differentiation of hPDLSCs under inflammatory conditions. hPDLSCs from the periodontal tissues of healthy subjects and patients with periodontitis were identified by analyzing their cell surface marker molecules, and their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation abilities. To determine the effect of TLR4 signaling on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation under inflammatory conditions, cells were challenged with TLR4 agonist and antagonist under pluripotent differentiation conditions. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration were then determined using appropriate methods. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin Red staining, Oil red O staining and relative gene and protein levels expression were also determined. The results showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced inflammation inhibited cell proliferation and migration, promoted cell apoptosis and affected the cell cycle. Under inflammatory conditions, the activation of TLR4 decreased the activity of ALP and the expression of osteogenic markers, including osteocalcin, Runt‑related transcription factor 2 and collagen I, compared with the control group, but increased the expression of adipogenesis‑related genes poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase γ and lipoprotein lipase. The activation of TLR4 also induced the expression of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin‑1β, tumor necrosis factor‑α, nuclear factor‑κBP65 and TLR4, compared with that in the control group and the TLR4 antagonist group. The findings showed that LPS‑induced upregulation of the TLR4 signaling pathway inhibited osteogenic differentiation and induced adipogenesis of the hPDLSCs under inflammatory conditions. The present study provided a novel understanding of the physiopathology of periodontitis, and a novel avenue for targeted treatments based on stem cell regeneration.

Abstract
Teeth are exposed to hundreds of oral bacteria and also challenged by the mastication forces; because teeth are situated in oral cavity, the entrance of the digestive tract, and penetrates through the oral epithelium. The periodontal ligament is a noncalcified tissue that possesses abundant blood vessels, which exist between tooth root and alveolar bone. The ligament is thought to play an important role in absorbing the impact of mastication, in the maintenance of periodontal homeostasis, and in periodontal wound healing. We succeeded in isolating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), so-called periodontal stem cells (PDLSCs), with self-renewability and multipotency from the periodontal ligament. We also demonstrated that PDLSCs share some cell surface markers with pericytes and that PDLSCs distribute themselves to stay with the endothelial cell networks and that PDLSCs maintain the endothelial cell networks when added to endothelial cell network formation systems. Pericytes are located in the proximity of microvascular endothelial cells and thought to stabilize and supply nutrients to blood vessels. Recently, it was also reported that pericytes possess multipotency and can be the source of tissue stem cells and/or progenitor cells. This review explores the distinctive features of the periodontal ligament tissue and PDLSCs as well as the puzzling similarities between PDLSCs and pericytes.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation is a complicated process that depends on various regulatory factors and signal pathways. In our research, the osteogenic differentiation capacity was analyzed by alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and protein levels of osteogenic differentiation markers including runt-related transcription factor 2, bone morphogenetic protein 2, and osteocalcin (OCN). We observed a notable decrease of miR-24-3p level in osteogenic-differentiated human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) by microarray analysis. In our gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we discovered that miR-24-3p has a suppression effect on hPDLSCs osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, SMAD family member 5 (Smad5), the critical osteogenic differentiation transcription factors, was predicted to be targets of miR-24-3p. In addition, luciferase reporter assay further proved that miR-24-3p directly targeted the 3'-untranslated region of Smad5. Similarly, we found that the overexpression of miR-24-3p significantly decreased the Smad5 messenger RNA level in hPDLSCs, which was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Then hPDLSCs were transfected with miR-24-3p mimics to inhibit Smad5 expression; meanwhile, Smad5 RNA interference could significantly reverse the osteogenic differentiation inhibition effect of miR-24-3p. In brief, a series of data showed that miR-24-3p is a regulator of Smad5, playing an important role in osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Hard tissue repair and regeneration cost hundreds of billions of dollars annually worldwide, and the need has substantially increased as the population has aged. Hard tissues include bone and tooth structures that contain calcium phosphate minerals. Smart biomaterial-based tissue engineering and regenerative medicine methods have the exciting potential to meet this urgent need. Smart biomaterials and constructs refer to biomaterials and constructs that possess instructive/inductive or triggering/stimulating effects on cells and tissues by engineering the material's responsiveness to internal or external stimuli or have intelligently tailored properties and functions that can promote tissue repair and regeneration. The smart material-based approaches include smart scaffolds and stem cell constructs for bone tissue engineering; smart drug delivery systems to enhance bone regeneration; smart dental resins that respond to pH to protect tooth structures; smart pH-sensitive dental materials to selectively inhibit acid-producing bacteria; smart polymers to modulate biofilm species away from a pathogenic composition and shift towards a healthy composition; and smart materials to suppress biofilms and avoid drug resistance. These smart biomaterials can not only deliver and guide stem cells to improve tissue regeneration and deliver drugs and bioactive agents with spatially and temporarily controlled releases but can also modulate/suppress biofilms and combat infections in wound sites. The new generation of smart biomaterials provides exciting potential and is a promising opportunity to substantially enhance hard tissue engineering and regenerative medicine efficacy.

Abstract
Periodontitis is initiated by the infection of periodontal bacteria and subsequent tissue inflammation due to immunoreaction, eventually leading to periodontal apparatus loss. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have exhibited beneficial characteristics in dental tissue regeneration. However, the immunomodulatory functions of SHEDs have not been elucidated in the context of periodontitis treatment. In this study, we investigated the potential immunomodulatory effects of SHEDs on experimental periodontitis and demonstrated that multidose delivery of SHEDs led to periodontal tissue regeneration. SHEDs and monocytes/macrophages were cocultured in transwell systems and SHEDs were found to be capable of promoting monocyte/macrophage conversion to CD206+ M2-like phenotype. Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was employed to assess the survival and distribution of SHEDs after delivery in periodontal tissues in an induced periodontitis model, and BLI revealed that SHEDs survived for ∼7 days in periodontal tissues with little tissue diffusion. Then, multidose SHED delivery was applied to treat periodontitis at 7-day intervals. Results showed that mutidose SHEDs altered the cytokine expression profile in gingival crevicular fluid, reduced gum bleeding, increased new attachment of periodontal ligament, and decreased osteoclast differentiation. Micro-computed tomography analysis showed SHED administration significantly increased periodontal regeneration and alveolar bone volume, and decreased distance of cementoenamel junction to alveolar bone crest. Furthermore, an increase in the number of CD206+ M2 macrophages was observed in periodontal tissues following the delivery of SHEDs, which aligned well with the promoted conversion to CD206+ M2-like cells from monocytes/macrophages in vitro after stimulation by SHEDs. This study demonstrated in a rat periodontitis model that local delivery of SHEDs attributed to the induction of M2 macrophage polarization, reduction of periodontal tissue inflammation, and enhancement of periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enhanced migration and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are beneficial for MSC-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration, a promising method for periodontitis treatment. FBXO5, a member of the F-box protein family, is involved in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Here, we investigated the effect of FBXO5 on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS hPDLSCs were isolated from periodontal ligament tissue. Lentivirus FBXO5 shRNA was used to silence FBXO5 expression. Two transcripts of FBXO5 were overexpressed and transduced into hPDLSCs via retroviral infection. Migration and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs were evaluated using the scratch migration assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, western blotting, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The expression of FBXO5 was upregulated after osteogenic induction in hPDLSCs. FBXO5 knockdown attenuated migration, inhibited ALP activity and mineralization, and decreased RUNX2, OSX, and OCN expression, while the overexpression of two transcript isoforms significantly accelerated migration, enhanced ALP activity and mineralization, and increased RUNX2, OSX, and OCN expression in hPDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS Both isoforms of FBXO5 promoted the migration and osteogenic differentiation potential of hPDLSCs, which identified a potential target for improving periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restoring lost tissues of the periodontium, such as cementum, is essential in reducing the risk of tooth loss due to periodontitis and/or severe root resorption. Stem cell therapy is a regenerative strategy in cementum regeneration. This systematic review aimed to analyze the effect of various stem cells and their transplantation method on cementum regeneration in the dog model. METHODS Electronic databases were searched, in addition to performing hand searches and a gray literature search. Titles and abstracts were searched according to the inclusion criteria and full texts were selected to be included in this systematic review. Data was extracted from each article and risk of bias was assessed for individual studies. RESULTS Most studies reported that the treatment using a variety of stem cells resulted in significantly greater cementum regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Because of variations in additional factors included in each study and varied risk of bias among those studies, the effect of each type of stem cell on cementum regeneration in dogs is difficult to clarify. Additional information needs to be obtained from each study in order to further analyze the individual effect of stem cells on cementum regeneration in dogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To overview preclinical animal trials and quantify the effect size that stem cell therapy has on the regeneration of periodontal tissue complex. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic MEDLINE (PubMed) online library search was conducted for preclinical animal studies in vivo , using autologous periodontal ligament, dental pulp, cementum, alveolar periosteal, gingival margin or adipose stem cell types for periodontal tissue complex regeneration purposes. Studies had to be published between 2007.09.01 and 2017.09.01 in the English language. RESULTS Online library search yielded 2099 results. After the title, abstract and full-text screening ten studies fit inclusion criteria and were pooled into meta-analysis. Overall the stem cell regenerative therapy had a statistically significant positive influence on the periodontal tissue regeneration when compared to the control groups. The biggest influence was made to the regeneration of cementum (standardised mean difference [SMD] 2.25 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.31 to 3.2]) while the smallest influence was made to the alveolar bone (SMD 1.47 [95% CI = 0.7 to 2.25]) the effect size for periodontal ligament regeneration was (SMD 1.8 [95% CI = 1 to 2.59]). Subgroup analysis showed statistically significant (P < 0.05) differences between different cell types in the alveolar bone and cementum regeneration groups and in alveolar bone group in relation to scaffold materials. CONCLUSIONS Stem cell therapy has a positive impact on periodontal tissue complex regeneration. Such therapy has the biggest influence on cementum regeneration meanwhile alveolar bone regeneration is influenced by the least amount. However more and less diverse preclinical studies are needed to have a greater statistical power in future meta-analyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration is considered to be a promising method for periodontitis treatment. The molecular mechanism of functional regulation by MSCs remains unclear, thus limiting their application. Our previous study discovered that Periostin (POSTN) promoted the migration and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs), but it is still unclear whether POSTN is able to restore the regenerative potential of PDLSCs under inflammatory conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of POSTN on PDLSCs under inflammatory conditions and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS PDLSCs were isolated from periodontal ligament tissue. TNF-α was used at 10 ng/mL to mimic inflammatory conditions. Lentivirus POSTN shRNA was used to knock down POSTN. Recombinant human POSTN (rhPOSTN) was used to stimulate PDLSCs. A scratch assay was used to analyse cell migration. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin Red staining and expression of osteogenesis-related genes were used to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential. Western blot analysis was used to detect the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and AKT signalling pathways. RESULTS After a 10 ng/mL TNF-α treatment, knockdown of POSTN impeded scratch closure, inhibited ALP activity and mineralization in vitro, and decreased expression of RUNX2, OSX, OPN and OCN in PDLSCs, while 75 ng/mL rhPOSTN significantly accelerated scratch closure, enhanced ALP activity and mineralization in vitro, and increased expression of RUNX2, OSX, OPN and OCN. In addition, knockdown of POSTN inhibited expression of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), while 75 ng/mL rhPOSTN increased expression of p-JNK in PDLSCs with TNF-α treatment. Furthermore, inhibition of JNK by its inhibitor SP600125 dramatically blocked POSTN-enhanced scratch closure, ALP activity and mineralization in PDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that POSTN might promote the migration and osteogenic differentiation potential of PDLSCs via the JNK pathway, providing insight into the mechanism underlying MSC biology under inflammatory conditions and identifying a potential target for improving periodontal tissue regeneration.

Quality Evaluation of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Cartilage Repair. Stem Cells Int 2017; 2017:8740294. [PMID: 28835756 PMCID: PMC5556614 DOI: 10.1155/2017/8740294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2017] [Accepted: 06/12/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Quality evaluation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) based on efficacy would be helpful for their clinical application. In this study, we aimed to find the factors of human bone marrow MSCs relating to cartilage repair. The expression profiles of humoral factors, messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) were analyzed in human bone marrow MSCs from five different donors. We investigated the correlations of these expression profiles with the capacity of the MSCs for proliferation, chondrogenic differentiation, and cartilage repair in vivo. The mRNA expression of MYBL1 was positively correlated with proliferation and cartilage differentiation. By contrast, the mRNA expression of RCAN2 and the protein expression of TIMP-1 and VEGF were negatively correlated with proliferation and cartilage differentiation. However, MSCs from all five donors had the capacity to promote cartilage repair in vivo regardless of their capacity for proliferation and cartilage differentiation. The mRNA expression of HLA-DRB1 was positively correlated with cartilage repair in vivo. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of TMEM155 and expression of miR-486-3p, miR-148b, miR-93, and miR-320B were negatively correlated with cartilage repair. The expression analysis of these factors might help to predict the ability of bone marrow MSCs to promote cartilage repair.

Abstract
Currently regeneration of tooth and periodontal damage still remains great challenge. Stem cell-based tissue engineering raised novel therapeutic strategies for tooth and periodontal repair. Stem cells for tooth and periodontal regeneration include dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), stem cells from the dental apical papilla (SCAPs), and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs), dental epithelial stem cells (DESCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). To date, substantial advances have been made in stem cell-based tooth and periodontal regeneration, including dentin-pulp, whole tooth, bioroot and periodontal regeneration. Translational investigations have been performed such as dental stem cell banking and clinical trials. In this review, we present strategies for stem cell-based tissue engineering for tooth and periodontal repair, and the translational studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of aging on the proliferative and differentiation capacity of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). METHODS Human periodontal ligament tissues were obtained from surgically extracted third molars from 6 subjects aged 18-20 years (group A) and 6 subjects aged 45-50 years (group B). The proliferative capacity of PDLSCs isolated from the tissues was examined with MTT assay, and the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity of the cells were evaluated using alizarin red staining and oil red O staining. SA-βG expression was analyzed to assess the cell senescence. In both groups, PDLSCs were induced for osteogenic differentiation for 7 days, and the differentiation ability of the cells was assessed by examining alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and by detecting the expressions of osteocalcin (OCN) and ALP using Western blotting. RESULTS Human PDLSCs were successfully isolated from the 12 teeth and were characterized as MSCs. The PDLSCs derived from donors of different ages were all capable of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, but their proliferative and osteogenic differentiation capacity decreased with the donors' age. The cells also exhibited an age- related increase in adipogenic differentiation capacity and SA-βG expression. In both groups, the cells induced in osteogenic medium showed increased OCN expression and ALP activation, and the increments were more obvious in group A. CONCLUSION Human PDLSCs can be isolated from periodontal ligament tissues even from donors of advanced ages, but their proliferative and differentiation capacity decreases and their adipogenic differentiation capacity increases with age.

Abstract
Tooth is a complex hard tissue organ and consists of multiple cell types that are regulated by important signaling pathways such as Wnt and BMP signaling. Serious injuries and/or loss of tooth or periodontal tissues may significantly impact aesthetic appearance, essential oral functions and the quality of life. Regenerative dentistry holds great promise in treating oral/dental disorders. The past decade has witnessed a rapid expansion of our understanding of the biological features of dental stem cells, along with the signaling mechanisms governing stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. In this review, we first summarize the biological characteristics of seven types of dental stem cells, including dental pulp stem cells, stem cells from apical papilla, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, dental follicle precursor cells, periodontal ligament stem cells, alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and MSCs from gingiva. We then focus on how these stem cells are regulated by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and/or Wnt signaling by examining the interplays between these pathways. Lastly, we analyze the current status of dental tissue engineering strategies that utilize oral/dental stem cells by harnessing the interplays between BMP and Wnt pathways. We also highlight the challenges that must be addressed before the dental stem cells may reach any clinical applications. Thus, we can expect to witness significant progresses to be made in regenerative dentistry in the coming decade.

Abstract
Current treatment of periodontitis is still associated with a high degree of variability in clinical outcomes. Recent advances in regenerative medicine by mesenchymal cells, including adipose stromal cells (ASC) have paved the way to improved periodontal regeneration (PD) but little is known about the biological processes involved. Here, we aimed to use syngeneic ASCs for periodontal regeneration in a new, relevant, bacteria‐induced periodontitis model in mice. Periodontal defects were induced in female C57BL6/J mice by oral gavage with periodontal pathogens. We grafted 2 × 105 syngeneic mouse ASCs expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) (GFP+/ASC) within a collagen vehicle in the lingual part of the first lower molar periodontium (experimental) while carrier alone was implanted in the contralateral side (control). Animals were sacrificed 0, 1, 6, and 12 weeks after treatment by GFP+/ASC or vehicle graft, and microscopic examination, immunofluorescence, and innovative bio‐informatics histomorphometry methods were used to reveal deep periodontium changes. From 1 to 6 weeks after surgery, GFP+ cells were identified in the periodontal ligament (PDL), in experimental sites only. After 12 weeks, cementum regeneration, the organization of PDL fibers, the number of PD vessels, and bone morphogenetic protein‐2 and osteopontin expression were greater in experimental sites than in controls. Specific stromal cell subsets were recruited in the newly formed tissue in ASC‐implanted periodontium only. These data suggest that ASC grafting in diseased deep periodontium, relevant to human pathology, induces a significant improvement of the PDL microenvironment, leading to a recovery of tooth‐supporting tissue homeostasis.

Effects of short-term inflammatory and/or hypoxic pretreatments on periodontal ligament stem cells: in vitro and in vivo studies. Cell Tissue Res 2016; 366:311-328.

Abstract
In this study, we extensively screened the in vitro and in vivo effects of PDLSCs following short-term inflammatory and/or hypoxic pretreatments. We found that the 24-h hypoxic pretreatment of PDLSCs significantly enhanced cell migration and improved cell surface CXCR4 expression. In addition, hypoxia-pretreated PDLSCs exhibited improved cell colony formation and proliferation. Cells that were dually stimulated also formed more colonies compared to untreated cells but their proliferation did not increase. Importantly, the hypoxic pretreatment of PDLSCs enhanced cell differentiation as determined by elevated RUNX-2 and ALP protein expression. In this context, the inflammatory stimulus impaired cell OCN protein expression, while dual stimuli led to decreased RUNX-2 and OCN mRNA levels. Although preconditioning PDLSCs with inflammatory and/or hypoxic pretreatments resulted in no differences in the production of matrix proteins, hypoxic pretreatment led to the generation of thicker cell sheets; the inflammatory stimulus weakened the ability of cells to form sheets. All the resultant cell sheets exhibited clear bone regeneration following ectopic transplantation as well as in periodontal defect models; the amount of new bone formed by hypoxia-preconditioned cells was significantly greater than that formed by inflammatory stimulus- or dual-stimuli-treated cells or by nonpreconditioned cells. The regeneration of new cementum and periodontal ligaments was only identified in the hypoxia-stimulus and no-stimulus cell groups. Our findings suggest that PDLSCs that undergo short-term hypoxic pretreatment show improved cellular behavior in vitro and enhanced regenerative potential in vivo. The preconditioning of PDLSCs via combined treatments or an inflammatory stimulus requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the existence of inflammation and limited osteogenesis on the precontaminated implant surface, reosseointegration is difficult to realize by current therapies. Tissue-engineering strategy has been proved quite effective in intractable bone defect situation. PURPOSE This study was designed to see whether the adoption of tissue-engineered bone complex of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) gene delivery would work efficiently in the correction of experimental peri-implantitis. METHODS All premolars in both side of mandibular were removed from six beagle canines three months before implant placement. Typical peri-implantitis were then induced by three month ligature placement. After the implementation of identical anti-bacterial and mechanical debridement therapy, the shaped peri-implant defect were stuffed with four groups of constructs, as A: beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP); B: β-TCP with ASCs; C: β-TCP with enhanced green fluorescent protein gene transduced ASCs (AdGFP-ASCs); and D: β-TCP with bone morphogenetic protein-2 gene-modified ASCs (AdBMP-2-ASCs). Systematic radiographic, micro-CT, and histomorphometrical assessments were performed. RESULTS After six months of healing, more bone formation and reosseointegration was found around the implant of groups B and C than group A. And group D further promoted the new bone height and reosseointegration percentage. Moreover, sequential fluorescence labeling tells that group D exhibited the quickest and strongest bone formation on the cleaned implant surface during the entire observation period as compared to the other three groups. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrated that tissue engineered bone of ASCs, BMP-2 gene delivery, and β-TCP could exert powerful therapeutic effect on peri-implantitis as expected, which may suggest a feasible way to maintain the stability and masticatory function of dental implant.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of porous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffolds on the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) in the presence and absence of osteogenic inducer (L-ascorbic acid, dexamethasone and β-glycerophosphate). The cell growth within the scaffolds in the absence of osteogenic inducers was studied by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteoblastic differentiation markers of hPDLCs in BCP scaffolds were examined in the presence and absence of osteogenic inducers. The cell number of hPDLCs in the BCP scaffolds was less than that of hPDLCs cultured in microplates (control). SEM images showed that cells successfully adhered to the BCP scaffolds and spread amongst the pores; they also produced abundant extracellular cell matrix. In the presence and absence of osteogenic inducers, the ALP activity of hPDLCs within BCP scaffolds was suppressed in varying degrees at all time-points. In the absence of osteogenic inducers, hPDLCs in BCP scaffolds express significant higher levels of osteopontin (OPN) mRNA than the control, and there were no significant differences for Runx2 and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA levels compared with those cultured in microplates. In the presence of osteogenic inducers, Runx2 expression levels were significantly higher than those in control. OPN and OCN mRNA levels were downregulated slightly. Three-dimensional porous BCP scaffolds are able to stimulate the osteoblastic differentiation of hPDLCs in the presence and absence of osteogenic inducer and may be capable of supporting hPDLC-mediated bone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) derived from clinically compromised teeth with periodontitis are considered a readily accessible cell source, but their impaired stem cell functionalities, as observed in various in vitro and in vivo models, necessitate further investigation of these inflamed cells before their translation into therapeutic applications. In this study, the effects of conditioned media (CM) produced by stem cells derived from human healthy periodontal ligament tissues (H-PDLSCs) or inflamed periodontal ligament tissues (I-PDLSCs), referred to as H-CM and I-CM, respectively, on the biologic properties of H-PDLSCs and I-PDLSCs from the same donor are compared to explore the extent to which inflamed cells can be rescued by their extrinsic environment (i.e., by H-CM). METHODS H-CM and I-CM were prepared from in vitro cell cultures, and the cellular responses of H-PDLSCs and I-PDLSCs to patient-matched H-CM and I-CM were investigated in terms of colony-forming ability, cell proliferation, and adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS In H-CM and I-CM, H-PDLSCs and I-PDLSCs exhibited similar adipogenic potential. However, when incubated in I-CM, both cell types demonstrated an increased capacity to proliferate but a decreased capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts. Significantly, the impaired osteogenic differentiation of I-PDLSCs was partially rescued by incubation in H-CM under osteo-inducing conditions. CONCLUSION The CM of patient-matched H-PDLSCs and I-PDLSCs differed, and the impaired osteogenic differentiation of inflamed stem cells had the potential to be rescued, at least partially, for therapeutic use via changing the cell culture microenvironment in vitro.

Gómez-Florit M, Monjo M, Ramis JM. Quercitrin for periodontal regeneration: effects on human gingival fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells. Sci Rep 2015; 5:16593.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is the result of an infection and chronic inflammation of the gingiva that may lead to its destruction and, in severe cases, alveolar bone and tooth loss. The ultimate goal of periodontal treatment is to achieve periodontal soft and hard tissues regeneration. We previously selected quercitrin, a catechol-containing flavonoid, as a potential agent for periodontal applications. In this study, we tested the ability of quercitrin to alter biomarker production involved in periodontal regeneration on primary human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) and primary human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) cultured under basal and inflammatory conditions. To mimic PD inflammatory status, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) was used. The expression of different genes related to inflammation and extracellular matrix were evaluated and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production was quantified in hGFs; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium content were analysed in hMSCs. Quercitrin decreased the release of the inflammatory mediator PGE2 and partially re-established the impaired collagen metabolism induced by IL-1β treatment in hGFs. Quercitrin also increased ALP activity and mineralization in hMSCs, thus, it increased hMSCs differentiation towards the osteoblastic lineage. These findings suggest quercitrin as a novel bioactive molecule with application to enhance both soft and hard tissue regeneration of the periodontium.

Evaluation of Osteogenic and Cementogenic Potential of Periodontal Ligament Fibroblast Spheroids Using a Three-Dimensional In Vitro Model of Periodontium. Int J Dent 2015; 2015:605813. [PMID: 26633971 PMCID: PMC4655058 DOI: 10.1155/2015/605813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2015] [Revised: 10/02/2015] [Accepted: 10/11/2015] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional in vitro model of periodontium to investigate the osteogenic and cementogenic differentiation potential of the periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) spheroids within a dentin-membrane complex. PDLFs were cultured in both spheroid forms and monolayers and were seeded onto two biological collagen-based and synthetic membranes. Cell-membrane composites were then transferred onto dentin slices with fibroblasts facing the dentin surface and further cultured for 20 days. The composites were then processed for histology and immunohistochemical analyses for osteocalcin, Runx2, periostin, and cementum attachment protein (CAP). Both membranes seeded with PDLF-derived cells adhered to dentin and fibroblasts were present at the dentin interface and spread within both membranes. All membrane-cell-dentine composites showed positive staining for osteocalcin, Runx2, and periostin. However, CAP was not expressed by any of the tissue composites. It can be concluded that PDLFs exhibited some osteogenic potential when cultured in a 3D matrix in the presence of dentin as shown by the expression of osteocalcin. However the interaction of cells and dentin in this study was unable to stimulate cementum formation. The type of membrane did not have a significant effect upon differentiation, but fibroblast seeded-PGA membrane demonstrated better attachment to dentin than the collagen membrane.

Abstract
Background Regeneration of periodontal tissues is a major goal of periodontal therapy. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) show mesenchymal cell properties with the potential for dental tissue engineering. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are examples of materials that act as signaling molecules to enhance periodontal regeneration. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been proven to be biocompatible and appears to have some osteoconductive properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of EMD, MTA, and PDGF on DPSC osteogenic differentiation. Methods Human DPSCs were cultured in medium containing EMD, MTA, or PDGF. Control groups were also established. Evaluation of the achieved osteogenesis was carried out by computer analysis of alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-stained chambers, and spectrophotometric analysis of alizarin red S-stained mineralized nodules. Results EMD significantly increased the amounts of ALP expression and mineralization compared with all other groups (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, MTA gave variable results with slight increases in certain differentiation parameters, and PDGF showed no significant increase in the achieved differentiation. Conclusions EMD showed a very strong osteogenic ability compared with PDGF and MTA, and the present results provide support for its use in periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a disease leads to the formation of periodontal defect, can result in tooth loss if left untreated. The therapies to repair/regenerate periodontal tissues have attracted lots of attention these years. Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs), a group of cells containing heterogeneous stem/progenitor cells, are capable of homing to injured tissues and participating in tissue repair/regeneration. The amplification of autologous BMDCs' potential in homing for self-repair/regeneration, therefore, might be considered as an alternative therapy except for traditional cell transplantation. However, the knowledge of the BMDCs' homing and participation in periodontal repair/regeneration is still known little. For the purpose of directly observing BMDCs' involvement in periodontal repair, chimeric mouse models were established to make their bone marrow cells reconstituted with cells expressing green enhanced fluorescence protein (EGFP) in this study. One month after bone marrow transplantation, periodontal defects were made on the mesial side of bilateral maxillary first molars in chimeric mice. The green fluorescence protein-positive (GFP+) BMDCS in periodontal defect regions were examined by bioluminescent imaging and immunofluorescence staining. GFP+ BMDCs were found to aggregate in the periodontal defect regions and emerge in newly-formed bones or fibers. Some of them also co-expressed markers of fibroblasts, osteoblasts or vascular endothelial cells. These results indicated that BMDCs might contribute to the formation of new fibers, bones and blood vessels during periodontal repair. In conclusion, we speculated that autologous BMDCs were capable of negotiating into the surgical sites created by periodontal operation and participating in tissue repair.

Age-related decline in the matrix contents and functional properties of human periodontal ligament stem cell sheets. Acta Biomater 2015; 22:70-82. [PMID: 25922305 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2015.04.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2014] [Revised: 04/16/2015] [Accepted: 04/19/2015] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
In this study, periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (PDLSCs) derived from different-aged donors were used to evaluate the effect of aging on cell sheet formation. The activity of PDLSCs was first determined based on their colony-forming ability, surface markers, proliferative/differentiative potentials, senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-βG) staining, and expression of pluripotency-associated transcription factors. The ability of these cells to form sheets, based on their extracellular matrix (ECM) contents and their functional properties necessary for osteogenic differentiation, was evaluated to predict the age-related changes in the regenerative capacity of the cell sheets in their further application. It was found that human PDLSCs could be isolated from the PDL tissue of different-aged subjects. However, the ability of the PDLSCs to proliferate and to undergo osteogenic differentiation and their expression of pluripotency-associated transcription factors displayed age-related decreases. In addition, these cells exhibited an age-related increase in SA-βG expression. Aged cells showed an impaired ability to form functional cell sheets, as determined by morphological observations and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry staining. Based on the production of ECM proteins, such as fibronectin, integrin β1, and collagen type I; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity; and the expression of osteogenic genes, such as ALP, Runt-related transcription factor 2, and osteocalcin, cell sheets formed by PDLSCs derived from older donors demonstrated a less potent osteogenic capacity compared to those formed by PDLSCs from younger donors. Our data suggest that the age-associated decline in the matrix contents and osteogenic properties of PDLSC sheets should be taken into account in cell sheet engineering research and clinical periodontal regenerative therapy.

Abstract
For treating pulpal pathological conditions, pulpal regeneration through transplanted stem/progenitor cells might be an alternative to conventional root canal treatment. A number of animal studies demonstrated beneficial effects of stem/progenitor cell transplantation for pulp-dentin complex regeneration, that is, pulpal tissue, neural, vascular, and dentinal regeneration. We systematically reviewed animal studies investigating stem/progenitor cell-mediated pulp-dentin complex regeneration. Studies quantitatively comparing pulp-dentin complex regeneration after transplantation of stem/progenitor cells versus no stem/progenitor cell transplantation controls in intraoral in vivo teeth animal models were analyzed. The following outcomes were investigated: regenerated pulp area per root canal total area, capillaries per total surface, regenerated dentinal area per total defect area, and nerves per total surface. PubMed and EMBASE were screened for studies published until July 2014. Cross-referencing and hand searching were used to identify further articles. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using random-effects meta-analysis. To assess possible bias, SYRCLE's risk of bias tool for animal studies was used. From 1364 screened articles, five studies (representing 64 animals) were included in the quantitative analysis. Risk of bias of all studies was high. Stem/progenitor cell-transplanted pulps showed significantly larger regenerated pulp area per root canal total area (SMD [95% CI]: 2.28 [0.35-4.21]) and regenerated dentin area per root canal total area (SMD: 6.91 [5.39-8.43]) compared with no stem/progenitor cell transplantation controls. Only one study reported on capillaries per or nerves per total surface and found both significantly increased in stem/progenitor cell-transplanted pulps compared with controls. Stem/progenitor cell transplantation seems to enhance pulp-dentin complex regeneration in animal models. Due to limited data quantity and quality, current evidence levels are insufficient for further conclusions.
