Abstract
Periodontitis is the major cause of tooth loss in adults and is mainly characterized by alveolar bone destruction. Elucidating the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/progenitor populations of alveolar bone formation will provide valuable insights into regenerative approaches to clinical practice, such as endogenous regeneration and stem-cell-based tissue engineering therapies. Classically, MSCs residing in the bone marrow, periosteum, periodontal ligament (PDL), and even the gingiva are considered to be osteogenic progenitors. Furthermore, the contributions of MSCs expressing specific markers, including Gli1, Axin2, PTHrP, LepR, and α-SMA, to alveolar bone formation have been studied using cell lineage tracing and gene knockout models. In this review, we describe the MSCs/progenitors of alveolar bone and the biological properties of different subpopulations of MSCs involved in alveolar bone development, remodeling, injury repair, and regeneration.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a complex chronic disease discernible by the deterioration of periodontal tissue. The goal of periodontal therapy is to achieve complete tissue regeneration, and one of the most promising treatment options is to harness the regenerative potential of stem cells available within the periodontal complex. Periodontal ligament stem cells, gingival mesenchymal stem cells, oral periosteal stem cells, and dental follicle stem cells have structural similarities, but their immunological responses and features differ. The qualities of diverse periodontal stem cells, their immune-modulatory effects, and variances in their phenotypes and characteristics will be discussed in this review. Although there is evidence on each stem cell population in the periodontium, understanding the differences in markers expressed, the various research conducted so far on their regenerative potential, will help in understanding which stem cell population will be a better candidate for tissue engineering. The possibility of selecting the most amenable stem cell population for optimal periodontal regeneration and the development and current application of superior tissue engineering treatment options such as autologous transplantation, three-dimensional bioengineered scaffolds, dental stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles will be explored.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the tooth that involves a complex interaction of microorganisms and various cell lines around the infected site. To prevent and treat this disease, several options are available, such as scaling, root planning, antibiotic treatment, and dental surgeries, depending on the stage of the disease. However, these treatments can have various side effects, including additional inflammatory responses, chronic wounds, and the need for secondary surgery. Consequently, numerous studies have focused on developing new therapeutic agents for more effective periodontitis treatment. This review explores the latest trends in bioactive substances with therapeutic effects for periodontitis using various search engines. Therefore, this study aimed to suggest effective directions for therapeutic approaches. Additionally, we provide a summary of the current applications and underlying mechanisms of bioactive substances, which can serve as a reference for the development of periodontitis treatments.

Abstract
Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) are newly developed seed cells for tissue engineering owing to their easy isolation, abundance and high growth rates. Thy-1 is an important regulatory molecule in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we investigated the function of Thy-1 in the osteogenic differentiation of GMSCs by reducing the expression of Thy-1 using a lentivirus. The results demonstrated that Thy-1 knockdown promoted the osteogenic differentiation of GMSCs in vitro. Validation by RNA-seq revealed an obvious decrease in Vcam1 and Sox9 gene expression with Thy-1 knockdown. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis suggested that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in the Wnt signalling pathway. We further demonstrated that Thy-1 knockdown promoted osteogenic differentiation of GMSCs by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Therefore, Thy-1 has a key regulatory role in the differentiation of GMSCs and maybe a core molecule connecting transcription factors related to the differentiation of MSCs. Our study also highlighted the potential of Thy-1 to modify MSCs, which may help improve their use in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), important components of paracrine secretion, are involved in various pathological and physiological processes of the body. In this study, we researched the benefits of EVs secreted by human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSC-derived EVs) in promoting bone regeneration, thereby providing new ideas for EVs-based bone regeneration therapy. Here, we successfully demonstrated that hGMSC-derived EVs could enhance the osteogenic ability of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the angiogenic capability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Then, femoral defect rat models were created and treated with phosphate-buffered saline, nanohydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC), a grouping of nHAC/hGMSCs, and a grouping of nHAC/EVs. The results of our study indicated that the combination of hGMSC-derived EVs and nHAC materials could significantly promote new bone formation and neovascularization with a similar effect to that of the nHAC/hGMSCs group. Our outcomes provide new messages on the role of hGMSC-derived EVs in tissue engineering, which exhibit great potential in bone regeneration treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Considering the chemical and structural properties of dentin, this study was aimed at evaluating the effect of dentin matrix alone or combined with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) on postextraction alveolar bone regeneration. MATERIAL AND METHODS Wistar rats were subjected to tooth extraction with osteotomy and allocated into groups according to the graft inserted: (1) Gelita-Spon®, (2) Bio-Oss®, (3) Dentin, (4) MSC, (5) Dentin/MSC, and (6) Control. Maxillae were analyzed by means of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Serum levels of calcium and phosphorus were quantified. RESULTS The Bio-Oss group showed less bone than Gelita-Spon and Dentin/MSC; no other significant differences were seen in H&E analysis. The Bio-Oss group showed higher expression of collagen type I compared to the Dentin and Dentin/MSC groups and also higher osteocalcin expression than the Dentin/MSC group. There was a tendency of higher expression of osteopontin in the MSC, Dentin, and Dentin/MSC groups and higher VEGF in the MSC group. On micro-CT analysis, the Bio-Oss and the Dentin/MSC groups exhibited greater bone volume than the Control. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels did not significantly differ between the groups. SEM analysis depicted particles of Bio-Oss and dentin in the respective groups, as well as significant cellularity in the MSC group. CONCLUSION Autogenous nondemineralized dentin is an alternative for alveolar bone grafting, which can be improved by combination with MSC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This work provides support for the clinical applicability of dentin graft alone or combined with MSC.

Abstract
Stem cells are a well-known autologous pluripotent cell source, having excellent potential to develop into specialized cells, such as brain, skin, and bone marrow cells. The oral cavity is reported to be a rich source of multiple types of oral stem cells, including the dental pulp, mucosal soft tissues, periodontal ligament, and apical papilla. Oral stem cells were useful for both the regeneration of soft tissue components in the dental pulp and mineralized structure regeneration, such as bone or dentin, and can be a viable substitute for traditionally used bone marrow stem cells. In recent years, several studies have reported that plant extracts or compounds promoted the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of different oral stem cells. This review is carried out by following the PRISMA guidelines and focusing mainly on the effects of bioactive compounds on oral stem cell-mediated dental, bone, and neural regeneration. It is observed that in recent years studies were mainly focused on the utilization of oral stem cell-mediated regeneration of bone or dental mesenchymal cells, however, the utility of bioactive compounds on oral stem cell-mediated regeneration requires additional assessment beyond in vitro and in vivo studies, and requires more randomized clinical trials and case studies.

Abstract
Photocross-linked alginate hydrogels, due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, strong control for gelling kinetics in space and time, and admirable adaptability for in situ polymerization with a minimally invasive approach in surgical procedures, have created great expectations in bone regeneration. However, hydrogels with suitable degradation kinetics that can match the tissue regeneration process have not been designed, which limits their further application in bone tissue engineering. Herein, we finely developed an oxidation strategy for alginate to obtain hydrogels with more suitable degradation rates and comprehensively explored their physical and biological performances in vitro and in vivo to further advance the clinical application for the hydrogels in bone repair. The physical properties of the gels can be tuned via tailoring the degree of alginate oxidation. In particular, in vivo degradation studies showed that the degradation rates of the gels were significantly increased by oxidizing alginate. The activity, proliferation, initial adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of rat and rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured with/in the hydrogels were explored, and the results demonstrated that the gels possessed excellent biocompatibility and that the encapsulated BMSCs were capable of osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, in vivo implantation of rabbit BMSC-loaded gels into tibial plateau defects of rabbits demonstrated the feasibility of hydrogels with appropriate degradation rates for bone repair. This study indicated that hydrogels with increasingly controllable and matchable degradation kinetics and satisfactory bioproperties demonstrate great clinical potential in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and could also provide references for drug/growth-factor delivery therapeutic strategies for diseases requiring specific drug/growth-factor durations of action.

Abstract
The gingival tissue can be collected in an easy way and represent an accessible source to isolate gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs). GMSCs are a subpopulation of dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells that show the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) features, such as differentiation abilities and immunomodulatory properties. Dental-derived stem cells are also expandable in vitro with genomic stability and the possibility to maintain the stemness properties over a prolonged period of passages. Moreover, several preclinical studies have documented that the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from GMSCs possess similar biological functions and therapeutic effects. The EVs may represent a promising tool in the cell-free regenerative therapy approach. The present review paper summarized the GMSCs, their multi-lineage differentiation capacities, immunomodulatory features, and the potential use in the treatment of several diseases in order to stimulate tissue regeneration. GMSCs should be considered a good stem cell source for potential applications in tissue engineering and regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMCs) are a promising cell type that showed therapeutic potential in heart failure models. The analysis of the underlying mechanisms by which the CMCs improve cardiac function is on track. This study aimed to investigate the expression of N-Cadherin, a transmembrane protein that enhances cell adhesion, and recently gained attention for differentiation and augmentation of stem cell function. The mouse CMCs were isolated and analyzed for the mesenchymal markers using flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis were used to assess the expression of N-Cadherin along with its counteracting molecule E-Cadherin and their regulator Zeb1 in CMCs and dermal fibroblast. The expression level of miR-200c and miR-429 was analyzed using miRNA assays. Transient transfection of miR-200c followed by qRT-PCR, western blot analysis, and immunostaining was done in CMCs to analyze the expression of Zeb1, N-Cadherin, and E-Cadherin. Flow cytometry analysis showed that CMCs possess mesenchymal markers and absence for hematopoietic and immune cell markers. Increased expression of N-Cadherin and Zeb1 in CMCs was observed in CMCs at both RNA and protein levels compared to fibroblast. We found significant downregulation of miR-200c and miR-429 in CMCs. The ectopic expression of miR-200c in CMCs significantly downregulated Zeb1 and N-Cadherin expression. Our findings suggest that the significant downregulation of miR-200c/429 in CMCs maintains the expression of N-Cadherin, which may be important for its functional integrity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Covering the wounds from guided bone regeneration and sinus floor elevation with oral and sinus mucosa is a fundamental criterion for success. This study aimed to verify the regeneration capability of the mucosal connective tissue stromal cells by characterizing their stemness and osteogenic potentials. METHODS Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), alveolar mucosa cells (AMCs), keratinized gingival cells (KGCs), and sinus mucosal cells (SMCs), were isolated from four Sprague-Dawley rats. The morphology and viability of the cells were investigated under a confocal microscope and by Alamar Blue. Stem cell surface markers were evaluated by flow cytometry. Expressions of pluripotent factors after initial seeding and an early osteogenic gene following 24 h of osteoinduction were evaluated by realtime PCR. Trilineage differentiation capability in long-term inductive cell culture was assessed by Alizarin Red, Alcian Blue, and Oil Red O staining. RESULTS BMSCs and AMCs were larger cells with smaller aspect ratios relative to KGCs and SMCs, and BMSCs revealed the greatest initial viability but the slowest proliferation. More than 94% of BMSCs, AMCs, and KGCs were double-positive for CD73 and CD90. Compared with BMSCs, AMCs expressed significantly higher Oct4 but reduced Cbfa1 after initial seeding, and AMCs and SMCs expressed significantly higher Cbfa1 following 24 h of osteoinduction. In long-term inductive cell culture, osteogenesis was observed in BMSCs, AMCs, and SMCs, chondrogenesis was observed in BMSCs, AMCs, and KGCs, and adipogenesis was evident in only BMSCs. CONCLUSION AMCs contain a high percentage of stem/progenitor cells and show differentiation capability toward osteogenic lineage.

The Gingiva from the Tissue Surrounding the Bone to the Tissue Regenerating the Bone: A Systematic Review of the Osteogenic Capacity of Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Preclinical Studies. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6698100. [PMID: 34234830 PMCID: PMC8218920 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6698100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The current review aims to systematically assess the osteogenic capacity of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) in preclinical studies. A comprehensive electronic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, as well as a manual search of relevant references, was performed in June 2020 without date or language restrictions. Eligibility criteria were the following: studies that compared mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the gingiva with other MSC sources (in vitro or in vivo) or cell-free scaffold (in vivo) and studies that reported at least one of the following outcomes: osteogenic potential and new bone formation for in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Moreover, the assessment of included studies was conducted using appropriate guidelines. From 646 initial retrieved studies, 35 full-text articles were subjected to further screening and 26 studies were selected (20 in vitro studies and 6 in vivo studies). GMSCs showed great proliferation capacity and expressed recognized mesenchymal stem cell markers, particularly CD90. In vitro, MSC sources including GMSCs were capable of undergoing osteogenic differentiation with less ability in GMSCs, while most in vivo studies confirmed the capacity of GMSCs to regenerate bony defects. Concerning the assessment of methodological quality, in vitro studies met the relevant guideline except in five areas: the sample size calculation, randomization, allocation concealment, implementation, and blinding, and in vivo publications had probably low risk of bias in most domains except in three areas: allocation concealment, attrition, and blinding items.

Abstract
In the last few decades, tissue engineering has become one of the most studied medical fields. Even if bone shows self-remodeling properties, in some cases, due to injuries or anomalies, bone regeneration can be required. In particular, oral bone regeneration is needed in the dentistry field, where the functional restoration of tissues near the tooth represents a limit for many dental implants. In this context, the application of biomaterials and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) appears promising for bone regeneration. This review focused on in vivo studies that evaluated bone regeneration using biomaterials with MSCs. Different biocompatible biomaterials were enriched with MSCs from different sources. These constructs showed an enhanced bone regenerative power in in vivo models. However, we discussed also a future perspective in tissue engineering using the MSC secretome, namely the conditioned medium and extracellular vesicles. This new approach has already shown promising results for bone tissue regeneration in experimental models.

Abstract
A unique subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been isolated and characterized from human gingival tissues (GMSCs). Similar to MSCs derived from other sources of tissues, e.g. bone marrow, adipose or umbilical cord, GMSCs also possess multipotent differentiation capacities and potent immunomodulatory effects on both innate and adaptive immune cells through the secretion of various types of bioactive factors with immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory functions. Uniquely, GMSCs are highly proliferative and have the propensity to differentiate into neural cell lineages due to the neural crest-origin. These properties have endowed GMSCs with potent regenerative and therapeutic potentials in various preclinical models of human disorders, particularly, some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, oral and maxillofacial disorders, and peripheral nerve injuries. All types of cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that play critical roles in cell-cell communication through their cargos containing a variety of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Like EVs released by other sources of MSCs, GMSC-derived EVs have been shown to possess similar biological functions and therapeutic effects on several preclinical diseases models as GMSCs, thus representing a promising cell-free platform for regenerative therapy. Taken together, due to the easily accessibility and less morbidity of harvesting gingival tissues as well as the potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory functions, GMSCs represent a unique source of MSCs of a neural crest-origin for potential application in tissue engineering and regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Skeletal disorders are among the leading debilitating factors affecting millions of people worldwide. The use of stem cells for tissue repair has raised many promises in various medical fields, including skeletal disorders. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells with mesodermal and neural crest origin. These cells are one of the most attractive candidates in regenerative medicine, and their use could be helpful in repairing and regeneration of skeletal disorders through several mechanisms including homing, angiogenesis, differentiation, and response to inflammatory condition. The most widely studied sources of MSCs are bone marrow (BM), adipose tissue, muscle, umbilical cord (UC), umbilical cord blood (UCB), placenta (PL), Wharton's jelly (WJ), and amniotic fluid. These cells are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and myocytes in vitro. MSCs obtained from various sources have diverse capabilities of secreting many different cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. It is believed that the salutary effects of MSCs from different sources are not alike in terms of repairing or reformation of injured skeletal tissues. Accordingly, differential identification of MSCs' secretome enables us to make optimal choices in skeletal disorders considering various sources. This review discusses and compares the therapeutic abilities of MSCs from different sources for bone and cartilage diseases.

Abstract
Any significant loss of vision or blindness caused by corneal damages is referred to as corneal blindness. Corneal blindness is the fourth most common cause of blindness worldwide, representing more than 5% of the total blind population. Currently, corneal transplantation is used to treat many corneal diseases. In some cases, implantation of artificial cornea (keratoprosthesis) is suggested after a patient has had a donor corneal transplant failure. The shortage of donors and the side effects of keratoprosthesis are limiting these approaches. Recently, researchers have been actively pursuing new approaches for corneal regeneration because of these limitations. Nowadays, tissue engineering of different corneal layers (epithelium, stroma, endothelium, or full thickness tissue) is a promising approach that has attracted a great deal of interest from researchers and focuses on regenerative strategies using different cell sources and biomaterials. Various sources of corneal and non-corneal stem cells have shown significant advantages for corneal epithelium regeneration applications. Pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells and iPS cells), epithelial stem cells (derived from oral mucus, amniotic membrane, epidermis and hair follicle), mesenchymal stem cells (bone marrow, adipose-derived, amniotic membrane, placenta, umbilical cord), and neural crest origin stem cells (dental pulp stem cells) are the most promising sources in this regard. These cells could also be used in combination with natural or synthetic scaffolds to improve the efficacy of the therapeutic approach. As the ocular surface is exposed to external damage, the number of studies on regeneration of the corneal epithelium is rising. In this paper, we reviewed the stem cell-based strategies for corneal epithelium regeneration.

Abstract
Cleft alveolus, a common birth defect of the maxillary bone, affects one in 700 live births every year. This defect is traditionally restored by autogenous bone grafts or allografts, which may possibly cause complications. Cell-based therapies using the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human gingiva (gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells [GMSCs]) is attracting the research interest due to their highly proliferative and multilineage differentiation capacity. Undifferentiated GMSCs expressed high level of MSC-distinctive surface antigens, including CD73, CD105, CD90, and CD166. Importantly, GMSCs induced with osteogenic medium for a week increased the surface markers of osteogenic phenotypes, such as CD10, CD92, and CD140b, indicating their osteogenic potential. The objective of this study was to assess the bone regenerative efficacy of predifferentiated GMSCs (dGMSCs) toward an osteogenic lineage in combination with a self-assembling hydrogel scaffold PuraMatrix™ (PM) and/or bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), on a rodent model of maxillary alveolar bone defect. A critical size maxillary alveolar defect of 7 mm × 1 mm × 1 mm was surgically created in athymic nude rats. The defect was filled with either PM/BMP2 or PM/dGMSCs or the combination of three (PM/dGMSCs/BMP2) and the bone regeneration was evaluated at 4 and 8 weeks postsurgery. New bone formation was evaluated by microcomputed tomography and histology using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. The results demonstrated the absence of spontaneous bone healing, either at 4 or 8 weeks postsurgery in the defect group. However, the PM/dGMSCs/BMP2 group showed significant enhancement in bone regeneration at 4 and 8 weeks postsurgery, compared with the transplantation of individual material/cells alone. Apart from developing the smallest critical size defect, results showed that PM/dGMSCs/BMP2 could serve as a promising option for the regeneration of bone in the cranio/maxillofacial region in humans.
