About a Possible Impact of Endodontic Infections by Fusobacterium nucleatum or Porphyromonas gingivalis on Oral Carcinogenesis: A Literature Overview. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5083. [PMID: 38791123 PMCID: PMC11121237 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is linked to the onset and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), an epidemiologically frequent and clinically aggressive malignancy. In this context, Fusobacterium (F.) nucleatum and Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis, two bacteria that cause periodontitis, are found in OSCC tissues as well as in oral premalignant lesions, where they exert pro-tumorigenic activities. Since the two bacteria are present also in endodontic diseases, playing a role in their pathogenesis, here we analyze the literature searching for information on the impact that endodontic infection by P. gingivalis or F. nucleatum could have on cellular and molecular events involved in oral carcinogenesis. Results from the reviewed papers indicate that infection by P. gingivalis and/or F. nucleatum triggers the production of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors in dental pulp cells or periodontal cells, affecting the survival, proliferation, invasion, and differentiation of OSCC cells. In addition, the two bacteria and the cytokines they induce halt the differentiation and stimulate the proliferation and invasion of stem cells populating the dental pulp or the periodontium. Although most of the literature confutes the possibility that bacteria-induced endodontic inflammatory diseases could impact on oral carcinogenesis, the papers we have analyzed and discussed herein recommend further investigations on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate the effect of experimentally-induced periodontitis on epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) distribution and its subsequent role in regenerating periodontal ligament (PDL). DESIGN The study included 60 rats, aged seven months, randomly and equally divided into two groups: Group I, the control group, and Group II, the experimental group, in which ligature-periodontitis was induced. Ten rats from each group were euthanized at 1, 2, and 4 weeks. For ERM detection, specimens were processed for histological and immunohistochemical examination of cytokeratin-14. Additionally, specimens were prepared for the transmission electron microscope. RESULTS Group I demonstrated well-organized PDL fibers with few ERM clumps close to the cervical root portion. In contrast, one week after periodontitis induction, Group II showed marked degeneration, a damaged cluster of ERM cells, narrowing of the PDL space, and early signs of PDL hyalinization. After two weeks, a disorganized PDL was observed with the detection of small ERM clumps enclosing very few cells. After four weeks, PDL fibers were reorganized, and ERM clusters increased significantly. Notably, ERM cells were positive for CK14 in all groups. CONCLUSION Early-stage ERM may be affected by periodontitis. However, ERM is capable of recovering its putative role in PDL maintenance.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) comprises a fibrous tissue that connects teeth to alveolar bone and is essential for periodontal function. The transcription factor mohawk homeobox (Mkx) is expressed in the PDL where it plays an important role in the development and maintenance of the PDL. However, the precise and critical functions of Mkx in the cell populations comprising PDL have not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of a Mkx deficiency on PDL cellular heterogeneity and differences between gene expression in PDL tissues from wild-type (WT) (Mkx+/+) and Mkx knockout (Mkx−/−) rats using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified 12 cell clusters comprising mesenchymal cells and macrophages. The expression of Mkx and scleraxis (Scx; another key transcription factor of PDL), was mutually exclusive, and partitioned mesenchymal cell clusters into Mkx and Scx types that dominantly expressed proteoglycans and elastic fibers, and type 1 and 3 collagen, respectively. Ossification-related genes were upregulated in mesenchymal cell and osteoblast clusters with more Mkx−/− than Mkx+/+ PDLs. Increased number of cells and inflammatory mediators were observed in macrophage clusters of Mkx−/− PDL. These results suggested that Mkx plays an important role in maintaining PDL homeostasis by regulating specific cell populations and gene expression.

Epithelial Cell Rests of Malassez Provide a Favorable Microenvironment for Ameliorating the Impaired Osteogenic Potential of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells. Front Physiol 2021; 12:735234. [PMID: 34707510 PMCID: PMC8542701 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.735234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Human periodontal ligament stromal/stem cells (PDLSCs) are ideal candidates for periodontal regeneration and are of significant importance in clinical practice. However, PDLSCs derived from diseased microenvironments exert impaired behavior, which leads to the failure of periodontal regeneration. The epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM), which are involved in periodontal homeostasis, are residual cells from Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS). However, the function of ERM remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ERM on the osteogenic potential of PDLSCs from an impaired microenvironment. PDLSCs from healthy donors (H-PDLSCs), periodontitis donors (P-PDLSCs) and human ERM were harvested. Osteogenic evaluation showed a lower osteogenic potential of P-PDLSCs compared to that of H-PDLSCs. Then, we co-cultured ERM with P-PDLSCs, and the data showed that ERM promoted the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins in P-PDLSCs. In addition, we collected the PDLSCs from aged donors (A-PDLSCs) and analyzed the osteogenesis capacity of the A-PDLSCs and A-PDLSCs + ERM groups, which displayed similar results to P-PDLSCs. Finally, we evaluated the Wnt pathway, which is associated with osteogenic differentiation of stromal/stem cells, in A-PDLSCs + ERM and P-PDLSCs + ERM groups, which indicated that suppression of the Wnt pathway may result in an increase in the osteogenic properties of A-PDLSCs + ERM and P-PDLSCs + ERM groups. Taken together, the above findings shed new light on the function of ERM and provide a novel therapeutic for optimizing PDLSCs-based periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Apexification strategies in traumatised non-vital immature permanent teeth can promote root-end closure and continued root development. However, traumatic injuries may compromise the integrity of generative cells of the apical papilla responsible for root maturation. This report describes the long-term treatment outcome of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification managed with late-term surgical intervention. A seven-year-old male reported with swelling and suppuration associated with a traumatised maxillary left central incisor (#21). After palliative treatment and MTA apexification procedures, the incisor demonstrated normal function during a 14.5-year period with radiographic evidence of atypical radicular elongation. Seventeen years after initial treatment, the patient presented with mid-plate buccal swelling and surgical treatment was completed involving root resection, biopsy of a spherical mineralised tissue specimen and placement of MTA root-end filling. Periapical healing and normal tooth function was evident at the 20-year review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Amelogenins are major components of extracellular matrix proteins in developing teeth, and regulate the growth of enamel crystals. They also function as signaling molecules in cell differentiation. This study aimed to determine the biological effects of amelogenins on the differentiation of HAT-7 dental epithelial cells and MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells using full-length recombinant human amelogenin (rh-AMEL). DESIGN rh-AMEL was expressed in a mammalian cell line (Expi293F™) and was purified by DDK agarose beads. Effects of rh-AMEL on differentiation were evaluated by Mineralization and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity using Alizarin Red S staining and colorimetric substrate p-nitrophenol, respectively. RESULTS Western blotting and silver staining confirmed the successful purification of rh-AMEL. Mineralization and ALP activity in HAT-7 cells were significantly higher after treatment with 4 μg/mL rh-AMEL, but not after treatment with Emdogain® (EMD). In MC3T3-E1 cells, on the other hand, rh-AMEL showed biphasic effects on differentiation. Treatment with low concentrations of rh-AMEL (0.001-0.1 μg/mL) and EMD (0.01-1 μg/mL) increased mineralization and ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells, whereas treatment with high concentrations of rh-AMEL (4 μg/mL) and EMD (100 μg/mL) had the opposite effect. CONCLUSION High concentrations of rh-AMEL and EMD decreased the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. By contrast, a high concentration of rh-AMEL, but not that of EMD, promoted the differentiation of HAT-7 cells. This study demonstrates that the effects of rh-AMEL on cell differentiation differ between HAT-7 and MC3T3-E1 cells, and suggests that different regions on AMEL may induce the differentiation of these cell types.

Abstract
The epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) were first described in 1817, yet their significance has remained an enigma for more than 200 years. Given their embryological origins and persistence in adult periodontal tissue, recent research has investigated whether the ERM could be useful as stem cells to regenerate tissues lost as a consequence of periodontitis. The objective of this review is to describe results of studies that have vigorously investigated the functional capabilities of ERM, particularly with regard to periodontal ligament homeostasis and prevention of dentoalveolar ankylosis. The significance of the ERM relative to evolution of the dental attachment apparatus will be examined. The current status of use of ERM as stem cells for dental tissue engineering and in other applications will be reviewed.

Abstract
Cervical loop cells (CLC) and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells are believed to play critical roles in distinct developmental patterns between rodent incisors and molars, respectively. However, the differences in differentiation between CLC and HERS cells, and their response to inductions from dental follicle cells, remain largely unknown. In present study, CLC and HERS cells, as well as incisor dental follicle (IF) cells and molar dental follicle (MF) cells were isolated from post-natal 7-day rats. IF and MF cell derived conditioned medium (CM) was obtained for induction of CLC and HERS cells. In vitro experiments, we found that, under the induction of dental follicle cell derived CM, CLC cells maintained the epithelial polygonal-shapes and formed massive minerals, while part of HERS cells underwent shape transformation and generated granular minerals. CLC cells expressed higher enamel-forming and mineralization related genes, while HERS cells showed opposite expression patterns of BMP2, BMP4, AMBN and AMGN. In vivo, CLC cells generated enamel-like tissues while HERS cells formed cementum-periodontal ligament-like structures. Taken together, CLC and HERS cells present distinct differentiation patterns under the inductions from dental follicle cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the action of paramonochlorophenol associated with Furacin followed by calcium hydroxide (CH) dressing in the control of inflammatory root resorption in cases of immediate tooth replantation with delayed endodontic treatment. A total of 28 incisors of 3 male dogs were extracted and replanted after 15 minutes, and randomly divided into 3 groups: Group I (n = 8) - endodontic treatment was performed before the extraction and replantation; Group II (n = 10) - endodontic treatment was performed 30 days after replantation and the root canal was filled with CH dressing; Group III (n = 10) - endodontic treatment was performed 30 days after replantation and root canals received temporary medication of paramonochlorophenol-Furacin followed by CH dressing. The animals were euthanized 90 days after replantation. The histomorphological events analyzed at the epithelial reattachment site were the intensity and extent of acute and chronic inflammatory processes, periodontal ligament (PDL) organization, the intensity and extent of acute and chronic inflammatory processes in the PDL space, root resorption, bone tissue, and ankylosis. Data were submitted to the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test for group comparison (α = 5%). In Groups I, II and III the periodontal ligament was regenerated and most of the resorption areas were repaired by newly formed cementum. The depth and extent of root resorption were significantly higher in Group II than in Group III. The use of paramonochlorophenol-furacin followed by CH dressing was more effective in controlling inflammatory root resorption after immediate tooth replantation.

Abstract
Introduction: The epithelial rests of Malassez (ERM) represent a group of cells in the periodontal ligament classically consisting of latent or quiescent structures associated with pathological processes. However, recent evidence shows that these structures cannot be considered only as cellular debris. The ERM is a major tissue structure, with functions in maintaining the homeostasis of periodontal tissue, including the maintenance of orthodontic movement. Objective: The present literature review aims at presenting the potential functions of ERM, with emphasis on orthodontic movement and the functional structure of the periodontium. Conclusion: ERM cells have a functional activity in modulation of orthodontic movement, trough their potential for differentiation, maintenance functions and the capacity of repairing periodontium.

Abstract
Squamous odontogenic tumor is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaw. Most are solitary lesions, although rare multifocal lesions have been described. Maxillary lesions have more aggressive behavior. Because of their benign character, these lesions are usually treated using a conservative surgical approach with curettage and surgical enucleation. This report describes the case of a 29-year-old woman with multifocal lesions who was initially treated with conservative surgical therapy. Early recurrence 6 months after surgery prompted more aggressive resection. This case is discussed in the context of current evidence related to the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and therapy of squamous odontogenic tumors.

Abstract
In this study, novel human-derived epithelial-like cells (hEPLCs) lines were established from periodontal ligament (PDL) tissues, which were composed of a variety of cell types and exhibited complex cellular activities. To elucidate the putative features distinguishing these from epithelial rest of Malassez (ERM), we characterized hEPLCs based on cell lineage markers and tight junction protein expression. The aim of this study was, therefore, to establish and characterize hEPLCs lines from PDL tissues. The hEPLCs were isolated from PDL of third molar teeth. Cellular morphology and cell organelles were observed thoroughly. The characteristics of epithelial–endothelial-mesenchymal-like cells were compared in several markers by gene expression and immunofluorescence, to ERM and human umbilical-vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The resistance between cellular junctions was assessed by transepithelial electron resistance, and inflammatory cytokines were detected by ELISA after infecting hEPLCs with periodontopathic bacteria. The hEPLCs developed into small epithelial-like cells in pavement appearance similar to ERM. However, gene expression patterns and immunofluorescence results were different from ERM and HUVECs, especially in tight junction markers (Claudin, ZO-1, and Occludins), and endothelial markers (vWF, CD34). The transepithelial electron resistance indicated higher resistance in hEPLCs, as compared to ERM. Periodontopathic bacteria were phagocytosed with upregulation of inflammatory cytokine secretion within 24 h. In conclusion, hEPLCs that were derived using the single cell isolation method formed tight multilayers colonies, as well as strongly expressed tight junction markers in gene expression and immunofluorescence. Novel hEPLCs lines exhibited differently from ERM, which might provide some specific functions such as metabolic exchange and defense mechanism against bacterial invasion in periodontal tissue.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of dental stem cell research is to construct a bioengineered tooth. Tooth formation occurs based on the well-organized reciprocal interaction of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The dental mesenchymal stem cells are the best explored, but because the human odontogenic epithelium is lost after the completion of enamel formation, studies on these cells are scarce. The successful creation of a bioengineered tooth is achievable only when the odontogenic epithelium is reconstructed to produce a replica of natural enamel. This article discusses the untapped sources of odontogenic epithelial stem cells in humans, such as those present in the active dental lamina in postnatal life, in remnants of dental lamina (the gubernaculum cord), in the epithelial cell rests of Malassez, and in reduced enamel epithelium. The possible uses of these stem cells in regenerative medicine, not just for enamel formation, are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radicular cysts are common lesions in daily dentistry practice. However, the mechanisms related to epithelial lining formation and cavity growth are not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to review the biological factors implicated in these process. METHODS Literature was selected through a search of PubMed electronic databases matching the following key words in the title or abstract: "cyst" OR "granuloma" OR "abscess" AND "radicular" OR "apical" OR "periapical" AND "epithelium" OR "epithelial" OR "epithelial lining." The PubMed database was searched for articles published between 1975 and 2014. Only English language was applied to the search. RESULTS The literature search yielded a total of 187 articles. After duplicate references were discarded, a subsequent search at the title and abstract level revealed 42 articles for full-text reading. The articles were categorized into 5 main subtopics: (1) cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis; (2) extracellular matrix constituents; (3) inflammatory components; (4) bone metabolic factors and; (5) others. These subtopics described the characteristics of radicular cysts focusing on the epithelial tissue effects. CONCLUSIONS Several factors from different sources (epithelial cells, stromal cells, extracellular matrix, and bone matrix) were implicated on apical cyst pathogenesis. Probably a combination of many factors involving an epithelial-stromal interaction is responsible for the sustenance and growth of apical cysts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the immunohistochemical expression of transforming growing factor beta (TGF-β) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) between radicular cysts (RCs) and dentigerous cysts (DCs). METHODS Twenty RCs and DCs were selected for analysis of the immunoexpression of TGF-β and IFN-γ in the epithelium and capsule. RESULTS The cell reactivity of TGF-β and IFN-γ in the lining epithelium and capsule of RCs showed no significant differences when compared with DCs (P > .05). There was a tendency of a higher expression of TGF-β in the capsule of DCs. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed the presence of TGF-β and IFN-γ in RCs and DCs, supporting the hypothesis that both participate in the development of these lesions, where IFN-γ usually plays a role in bone resorption, which is counterbalanced by the osteoprotective activity performed by TGF-β.
