Abstract
A major challenge in tissue engineering scaffolds is controlling scaffold degradation rates during healing while maintaining mechanical properties to support tissue formation. Hydrogels are three-dimensional matrices that are widely applied as tissue scaffolds based on their unique properties that can mimic the extracellular matrix. In this study, we develop a hybrid natural/synthetic hydrogel platform to tune the properties for tissue engineering scaffold applications. We modified chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with photo-cross-linkable methacrylate functional groups and then synthesized a library of chitosan PVA methacrylate hydrogels (ChiPVAMA) with two different photoinitiators, Irgacure 2959 (I2959) and lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP). ChiPVAMA hydrogels showed tunability in degradation rates and mechanical properties based on both the polymer content and photoinitiator type. This tunability could enable their application in a range of tissue scaffold applications. In a 2D scratch wound healing assay, all hydrogel samples induced faster wound closure compared to a gauze clinical wound dressing control. NIH/3T3 cells encapsulated in hydrogels showed a high viability (∼92%) over 14 days, demonstrating the capacity of this system as a supportive cell scaffold. In addition, hydrogels containing a higher chitosan content demonstrated a high antibacterial capacity. Overall, ChiPVAMA hydrogels provide a potential tissue engineering scaffold that is tunable, degradable, and suitable for cell growth.

Simultaneous Dual-Wavelength Laser Irradiation against Implant-Adherent Biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans for Improved Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:48. [PMID: 38247925 PMCID: PMC10813184 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11010048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The efficiency of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) might be improved by using multiple wavelengths. This study investigates the sensitivity of implant-adherent biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans to indocyanine green (ICG)-808 nm diode laser, toluidine blue O (TBO)-635 nm diode laser, and hydrogen peroxide (HP)-980 nm diode laser and their combination when irradiated with dual-wavelength laser irradiation (simultaneously 980-635 nm or 980-808 nm). After an incubation period of 72 h, the infected implants were randomly divided into seven different treatment modalities: Control, HP, HP-PDT, TBO-PDT, HP-TBO-PDT, ICG-PDT, and HP-ICG-PDT. After the treatments, the colony-forming units (CFUs)/mL and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were determined. All evaluated disinfection methods were significantly effective against the three investigated bacteria compared to the control. The combined treatment of HP-ICG-PDT or HP-TBO-PDT had the greatest antibacterial effect compared to each treatment alone. There were statistical differences between HP-ICG-PDT and ICG-PDT or HP-TBO-PDT and TBO-PDT for all three bacteria studied. PDT with simultaneous dual-wavelength laser irradiation is an efficient strategy to improve the therapeutic effect of PDT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to develop amine free photo-initiating system (PIs) for the photopolymerization of dental methacrylate resins, using seven new hydrogen donors HDA-HDG derived from β-O-4 lignin model. METHODS Seven experimental CQ/HD PIs were formulated with Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (70 w%/30 w%). CQ/EDB system was chosen as the comparison group. FTIR-ATR was used to monitor the polymerization kinetics and double bond conversion. Bleaching property and color stability were evaluated using a spectrophotometer. Molecular orbitals calculations were used to demonstrate C-H bond dissociation energies of the novel HDs. Depth of cure of the HD based systems were compared to the EDB based one. Cytotoxicity was also studied by CCK8 assay using tissue of mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells). RESULTS Compared to CQ/EDB system, the new CQ/HD systems show comparable or better photopolymerization performances (1 mm-thick samples). Comparable or even better bleaching properties were also obtained with the new amine-free systems. Comparing to EDB, all HDs exhibited significantly lower C-H bond dissociation energies by molecular orbitals calculations. Groups with new HD showed higher depth of cure. OD and RGR values were similar to that of the CQ/EDB group, ensuring the feasibility of the new HDs in dental materials. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The new CQ/HD PI systems could be potentially useful in dental materials, presenting improvements in restorations' esthetic and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Exposure to UV radiation damages the skin and increases the risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen is used to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. However, the chemical UV filters used in sunscreen can show toxicity and cause allergic reactions. A safe sunscreen that includes a lower content of chemical UV filters and exerts an excellent effect on UV protection needs to be developed. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the addition of afzelin to sunscreen could improve the sun protection factor (SPF). A synergistic effect between afzelin and organic sunscreen agents including padimate O and oxybenzone was confirmed. Interestingly, 100% in vitro SPF-boosting was observed when afzelin (0.05%) was applied with a standard SPF formulation containing organic sunscreens while afzelin alone had no contribution to the SPF. In vivo SPF analysis of the standard SPF formulation showed an SPF value of 13.3 that increased to 20.1 when supplemented with afzelin (0.05%). Additionally, afzelin showed no skin irritation in a human trial. These results suggest that afzelin is useful as a natural additive in sunscreen formulations and provides an SPF-boosting effect. Afzelin supplementation to the formulation showed the potential to reduce the use of synthetic photoprotectors, which could minimize the risk of synthetic agent toxicity.

Abstract
Stabilization of the resin-dentin interface to increase the durability of adhesive dental restorations is a challenging task. The use of naturally occurring collagen crosslinking agents has been proposed to prevent degradation of the hybrid layer. Myricetin (MYR) is a flavonoid with a wide variety of beneficial effects and it has been used for the treatment of different systemic pathologies. The chemical structure of MYR makes it a powerful antioxidant, an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and a collagen cross-linker. This study presents MYR as a novel treatment in operative dentistry to stabilize the resin-dentin interface by inhibiting MMPs and crosslinking the collagen. Viability tests carried out using a resazurin assay showed that MYR had no cytotoxic effects on human odontoblast-like cells and the phenotype was preserved. Fluorometric MMP activity assay and fluorescence microscopy revealed that the MMPs in the demineralized dentin were effectively inhibited by the application of MYR (600 μM for 120 s). A microtensile bond strength test was performed immediately and after six months of storage. The bond strength to dentin was not affected by MYR and was preserved over time. Demineralized dentin beams were evaluated to determine the dentin biomodification using microtensile strength and elastic modulus assays. MYR improved the biomechanical behavior of the demineralized dentin similarly to glutaraldehyde, a recognized crosslinking agent. These findings indicated that MYR acts as an MMP inhibitor, collagen cross-linker, and preserver of the bond strength. Furthermore, MYR is an ethanol-soluble molecule with a lower molecular weight than the other polyphenols; hence, it can be applied for a short time and diffuses deeply through the dentin without any associated cytotoxicity. This molecule has beneficial effects on the biological and mechanical behavior of the resin-dentin interface and may be used to effectively stabilize the hybrid layer in a clinical setting.

Camphorquinone alters the expression of extracellular proteases in a 3D co-culture model of the oral mucosa. Dent Mater 2020; 37:236-248. [PMID: 33257085 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Objective of our investigation was to determine the influence of CQ on the expression of antioxidant proteins and extracellular proteases in a 3D co-culture model (3DCCM) of the oral mucosa and to analyze the distribution and stability of CQ within 3D-CCMs. METHODS 3D-CCMs consist of confluent keratinocytes (OKF6/TERT2) on cell culture inserts on top of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in collagen. The treatment was carried out by adding CQ to the cell culture inserts at two time points with declining concentrations. Mass spectrometry was used to analyze the CQ concentration above and underneath the OKF6/TERT2-layer. The expression of antioxidant genes was analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blot. The regulation of extracellular proteases from different families was analyzed by qRT-PCR and Proteome Profiler arrays. RESULTS GC/MS analysis showed that CQ was evenly distributed within the model. Heme oxygenase-1, NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), and superoxide dismutase 1 were induced on the mRNA and protein level in OKF6/TERT2 cells. In HGFs, only the transcription of NQO1 was induced. The transcription of extracellular proteases was increased mainly in OKF6/TERT2 cells 72 h after the initial treatment. The quantity of ten out of 25 analyzed extracellular proteases in the cell culture supernatant above and six underneath the keratinocyte-layer were modulated by CQ. SIGNIFICANCE Despite its high reactivity, CQ is able to penetrate a dense keratinocyte-layer, presumably across plasma membranes. CQ initially induced the cellular defense machinery against oxidative stress and altered the expression of extracellular proteases. We assume a relationship between both processes.

Abstract
Asphalt-based materials are abundant and a major nontraditional source of reactive organic compounds in urban areas, but their emissions are essentially absent from inventories. At typical temperature and solar conditions simulating different life cycle stages (i.e., storage, paving, and use), common road and roofing asphalts produced complex mixtures of organic compounds, including hazardous pollutants. Chemically speciated emission factors using high-resolution mass spectrometry reveal considerable oxygen and reduced sulfur content and the predominance of aromatic (~30%) and intermediate/semivolatile organic compounds (~85%), which together produce high overall secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yields. Emissions rose markedly with moderate solar exposure (e.g., 300% for road asphalt) with greater SOA yields and sustained SOA production. On urban scales, annual estimates of asphalt-related SOA precursor emissions exceed those from motor vehicles and substantially increase existing estimates from noncombustion sources. Yet, their emissions and impacts will be concentrated during the hottest, sunniest periods with greater photochemical activity and SOA production.

Abstract
A central challenge in tissue engineering is obtaining a suitable cell type with a capable delivery vehicle to replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues with tissue mimics. Notably, for skeletal muscle tissue engineering, given the inadequate availability and regenerative capability of endogenous myogenic progenitor cells as well as the tumorigenic risks presented by the currently available pluri- and multipotent stem cells, seeking a safe regenerative cell source is urgently demanded. To conquer this problem, we previously established a novel reprogramming technology that can generate multipotent cells from dermal fibroblasts using a single protein, fibromodulin (FMOD). The yield FMOD-reprogrammed (FReP) cells exhibit exceeding myogenic capability without tumorigenic risk, making them a promising and safe cell source for skeletal muscle establishment. In addition to using the optimal cell for implantation, it is equally essential to maintain cellular localization and retention in the recipient tissue environment for critical-sized muscle tissue establishment. In this study, we demonstrate that the photopolymerizable methacrylated glycol chitosan (MeGC)/type I collagen (ColI)-hydrogel provides a desirable microenvironment for encapsulated FReP cell survival, spreading, extension, and formation of myotubes in the hydrogel three-dimensionally in vitro, without undesired osteogenic, chondrogenic, or tenogenic differentiation. Furthermore, gene profiling revealed a paired box 7 (PAX7) → myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) → myogenic determination 1 (MYOD1) → myogenin (MYOG) → myosin cassette elevation in the encapsulated FReP cells during myogenic differentiation, which is similar to that of the predominant driver of endogenous skeletal muscle regeneration, satellite cells. These findings constitute the evidence that the FReP cell-MeGC/ColI-hydrogel construct is a promising tissue engineering mimic for skeletal muscle generation in vitro, and thus possesses the extraordinary potential for further in vivo validation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Phenylbis(acyl) phosphine oxide (BAPO) and diphenyl(acyl) phosphine oxide (TPO) are alternative photoinitiators to camphorquinone (CQ) in dental resinous materials. Aim of this study was to investigate their cytotoxic/genotoxic potential in human oral keratinocytes (OKF6/Tert2) and Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79) in comparison to CQ. METHODS Cells were exposed to different concentrations of BAPO and TPO (1-50μM). Cytotoxicity was evaluated using H33342 and MTT assay, cell proliferation by BrdU proliferation assay and microscopy. Effects on cellular redox homeostasis were assessed by detecting intracellular levels of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) using the DCFH2 assay and by quantification of mRNA expression of oxidatively regulated, cyto-protective enzymes. Genotoxic potential was determined by use of micronucleus (MN) assay. RESULTS BAPO and TPO induced a concentration-dependent decrease of cell number. BAPO and TPO showed 50- to 250-fold higher cytotoxicity than CQ. In contrast to CQ, both photoinitiators revealed no increase of intracellular ROS/RNS. However, BAPO (10μM) at least significantly induced mRNA-expression of redox-regulated proteins after 24h similar to 2.5mM CQ. Additionally, BAPO significantly raised the number of micronuclei, but only in V79 cells (10μM: 12±1, 2.5mM CQ: 15±1, medium control: 6±3). However, it also significantly decreased proliferation of these cells (10μM BAPO: 19.8%±7.3% compared to controls). SIGNIFICANCE BAPO and TPO revealed concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects in human oral keratinocytes and V79 cells. However, in contrast to CQ, no generation of intracellular ROS/RNS was found. Only BAPO induced genotoxicity in V79 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Camphorquinone (CQ) is the most important photoinitiator used in dental composite resins. Sparse data indicate a mutagenic potential of CQ. Therefore, it was aim of this study to evaluate the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and mutagenicity of CQ in L5178Y TK+/- mouse lymphoma cells. METHODS L5178Y/TK+/- cells were exposed to different concentrations of non-irradiated CQ (0.25-2.5mM). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by propidium iodide assay, determination of suspension growth rate, relative total growth and the mitotic index. Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) were quantified by 2',7'-dichlorofluoresceine diacetate (DCFH-DA). Early induction of DNA strand breaks and oxidative DNA base lesions was assessed using the 8-hydroxyguanine DNA-glycosylase 1 (hOGG1)-modified alkaline comet assay, whereas mutagenicity of CQ was determined in the mouse lymphoma TK assay (MLA), according to OECD Guideline No. 490. RESULTS CQ (0.5-2.5mM) induced concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of cell growth associated with increased ROS/RNS production, amounting to 2342%±1108% of controls after 90min at 2.5mM. Additionally, CQ concentration-dependently caused direct DNA-damage, i.e. formation of DNA strand breaks and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Whereas the MLA indicated lack of mutagenicity of CQ after a 4h of treatment, CQ concentration-dependently increased total mutant frequency (MF) after 24h (about 2-fold at 2.5mM). But, based on the global evaluation factor concept, increase in MF did not reach biologically relevance. SIGNIFICANCE CQ induced concentration-dependent, cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in L5178Y/TK+/- cells, most likely due to oxidative stress, but without mediating obvious biological relevant mutagenicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate, in vitro, the potential cytotoxicity of three different dental adhesives systems (Adper Single Bond 2 -SB, Silorane System Adhesive Bond -SSAB and Single Bond Universal -SBU) on cultivated Vero cells after different contact times. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cells were cultured in a concentration of 2 x 105 cells/mL for 24h and grown to sub-confluent monolayers. VERO cells were exposed to 25µl of conditioned extracts obtained from 24h, 48h and 72h immersion of adhesive samples in culture medium (DMEM), immediately after polymerization. Fresh DMEM was used as negative control. Cell metabolism was evaluated by the MTT assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide). The data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA, considering a significance of 5%. RESULTS The values of cell viability ranged from 94.2% at 72h (SBU) to 109.6% at 48h (SB). The mean percentage of viability after exposure to the extracts of SB, SSAB and SBU were 103.2%, 100.63% and 97.43%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p= 0.342) between the experimental and negative control groups. CONCLUSIONS At all exposure times, all adhesives tested in this study presented no cytotoxicity to Vero cells in vitro. Key words:Biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, dental adhesives, Vero cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Released components of oral biomaterials can leach into the oral cavity and may subsequently reach the gastrointestinal tract. Camphorquinone (CQ) is the most common used photoinitiator in resinous restorative materials and is often combined with the co-initiator N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT). It has been shown that CQ exerts cytotoxic effects, at least partially due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Objective of this study was to examine the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of CQ in human oral keratinocytes (OKF6/TERT2) and immortalized epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). Furthermore, the effects of visible-light irradiation and the co-initiator DMT were investigated as well as the generation of ROS, the potential protective effect of glutathione (GSH) and a recovery period of CQ-treated Caco-2 cells. METHODS The alkaline comet assay was used to determine DNA damage. Additionally, an enzyme modified comet assay was applied, which detects 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoguanine), a reliable marker for oxidative stress. RESULTS Our data revealed that high concentrations of CQ induced DNA lesions in OKF6/TERT2 cells. This DNA damage is at least partly caused by the generation of 8-oxoguanine. In addition, CQ and DMT increased ROS formation and induced DNA damage in Caco-2 cells. CQ-treatment resulted in generation of 8-oxoguanine. The antioxidant GSH efficiently prevented CQ-associated DNA damage. Furthermore, a recovery following CQ-treatment significantly reduced DNA damage. SIGNIFICANCE We conclude that CQ-induced DNA damage is caused by oxidative stress in oral and intestinal cells. These lesions can be prevented and possibly repaired by GSH-treatment and recovery of cells after the photoinitiator is removed from cultures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The photoinitiator diphenyl-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO) is more reactive than a camphorquinone/amine (CQ) system, and TPO-based adhesives obtained a higher degree of conversion (DC) with fewer leached monomers. The hypothesis tested here is that a TPO-based adhesive is less toxic than a CQ-based adhesive. METHODS A CQ-based adhesive (SBU-CQ) (Scotchbond Universal, 3M ESPE) and its experimental counterpart with TPO (SBU-TPO) were tested for cytotoxicity in human pulp-derived cells (tHPC). Oxidative stress was analyzed by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and by the expression of antioxidant enzymes. A dentin barrier test (DBT) was used to evaluate cell viability in simulated clinical circumstances. RESULTS Unpolymerized SBU-TPO was significantly more toxic than SBU-CQ after a 24h exposure, and TPO alone (EC50=0.06mM) was more cytotoxic than CQ (EC50=0.88mM), EDMAB (EC50=0.68mM) or CQ/EDMAB (EC50=0.50mM). Cultures preincubated with BSO (l-buthionine sulfoximine), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, indicated a minor role of glutathione in cytotoxic responses toward the adhesives. Although the generation of ROS was not detected, a differential expression of enzymatic antioxidants revealed that cells exposed to unpolymerized SBU-TPO or SBU-CQ are subject to oxidative stress. Polymerized SBU-TPO was more cytotoxic than SBU-CQ under specific experimental conditions only, but no cytotoxicity was detected in a DBT with a 200μm dentin barrier. SIGNIFICANCE Not only DC and monomer-release determine the biocompatibility of adhesives, but also the cytotoxicity of the (photo-)initiator should be taken into account. Addition of TPO rendered a universal adhesive more toxic compared to CQ; however, this effect could be annulled by a thin dentin barrier.

Abstract
Because of the potential for exposure to N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT) in medical devices and the lack of toxicity and carcinogenicity information available in the literature, the National Toxicology Program conducted toxicity and carcinogenicity studies of DMPT in male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1/N mice. In these studies, a treatment-related macrocytic regenerative anemia characterized by increased levels of methemoglobin and Heinz body formation developed within a few weeks of DMPT exposure in rats and mice. DMPT induced nasal cavity, splenic, and liver toxicity in rats and mice at 3 months and 2 years. DMPT carcinogenic effects were seen in the liver of male and female rats and mice, the nasal cavity of male and female rats, and the lung and forestomach of female mice. In rodents, DMPT is distributed to many of the sites where toxic and carcinogenic effects occurred. DMPT-induced oxidative damage at these target sites may be one mechanism for the treatment-related lesions. Methemoglobinemia, as seen in these DMPT studies, is caused by oxidation of the heme moiety, and this end point served as an early alert for other target organ toxicities and carcinogenic responses that followed with longer term exposure.

Abstract
Injectable cartilaginous constructs that can form gels in tissue defects have many advantages in tissue engineering applications. In this study we created an injectable hydrogel consisting of methacrylated glycol chitosan (MeGC) and hyaluronic acid (HA) by photocrosslinking with a riboflavin photoinitiator under visible light. A minimum irradiation time of 40s was required to produce stable gels for cell encapsulation with 87-90% encapsulated chondrocyte viability. Although increasing the irradiation time from 40 to 600 s significantly enhanced the compressive modulus of the hydrogels up to 11 or 17 kPa for MeGC or MeGC/HA, respectively, these conditions reduced the encapsulated cell viability to 60-65%. The majority of chondrocytes encapsulated in MeGC hydrogels after 300 s irradiation maintained a rounded shape with a high cell viability of ~80-87% over a 21 day culture period. The incorporation of HA in MeGC hydrogels increased the proliferation and deposition of cartilaginous extracellular matrix by encapsulated chondrocytes. These findings demonstrate that MeGC/HA composite hydrogels have the potential for cartilage repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Camphorquinone (CQ) is a photoinitiator that triggers polymerization of light-curing materials such as dental adhesives and composites. CQ does not become a part of the polymer network, suggesting that CQ can be leached out into surrounding environment including dental pulp and exert adversary effects on tissues. In order to understand the mechanisms of CQ-induced side effects, we investigated the effect of CQ on cell viability, cytokine secretion, and odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in vitro. METHODS Cell viability was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay after CQ exposure. Western blotting was performed for p16(INK4A), p21(WAF1), and p53. Secretory cytokines were evaluated using the membrane-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as well as conventional and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The effects of CQ on odontogenic differentiation were evaluated using alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red S staining methods. RESULTS CQ treatment suppressed the proliferation of DPSCs and induced the expression of p16(INK4A), p21(WAF1), and p53. Levels of proinflammatory cytokines (eg, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, and matrix metalloproteinase-3 [MMP3]) were increased by CQ treatment. CQ also inhibited odontogenic differentiation and mineralization capacities of DPSC and MC3T3-E1 cells. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that CQ may trigger pulpal inflammation by inducing proinflammatory cytokine production from the pulpal cells and may impair odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp cells, resulting in pulpal irritation and inflammation.

Abstract
In situ gelling constructs, which form a hydrogel at the site of injection, offer the advantage of delivering cells and growth factors to the complex structure of the defect area for tissue engineering. In the present study, visible light crosslinkable hydrogel systems were presented using methacrylated glycol chitosan (MeGC) and three blue light initiators: camphorquinone (CQ), fluorescein (FR) and riboflavin (RF). A minimal irradiation time of 120 s was required to produce MeGC gels able to encapsulate cells with CQ or FR. Although prolonged irradiation up to 600 s improved the mechanical strength of CQ- or FR-initiated gels (compressive modulus 2.8 or 4.4 kPa, respectively), these conditions drastically reduced encapsulated chondrocyte viability to 5% and 25% for CQ and FR, respectively. Stable gels with 80-90% cell viability could be constructed using radiofrequency (RF) with only 40s irradiation time. Increasing irradiation time up to 300s significantly improved the compressive modulus of the RF-initiated MeGC gels up to 8.5 kPa without reducing cell viability. The swelling ratio and degradation rate were smaller at higher irradiation time. RF-photoinitiated hydrogels supported proliferation of encapsulated chondrocytes and extracellular matrix deposition. The feasibility of this photoinitiating system as in situ gelling hydrogels was further demonstrated in osteochondral and chondral defect models for potential cartilage tissue engineering. The MeGC hydrogels using RF offer a promising photoinitiating system in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
AIM To quantify the effect of dentine-bonding agents on Substance P (SP) release in healthy human dental pulp tissue. METHODOLOGY Forty pulp samples were obtained from healthy pre-molars where extraction was indicated for orthodontic reasons. In thirty of these pre-molars, a standardized Class V cavity preparation was performed, and teeth were divided equally into three groups: (i) Unetched-cavity control group: Class V cavities only; (ii) Experimental Group I: 'One-step' self-etch bonding agent was placed in the cavity; and (iii) Experimental Group II: 'Two-step' total-etch bonding agent was placed in the cavity. The remaining ten healthy pre-molars where extracted without treatment and served as an intact-teeth control group. SP was measured by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS Greater SP release was found in the 'one-step' bonding agent group, followed by the 'two-step' bonding agent group and the unetched-cavity control group. The lower SP values were for the intact-teeth control group. anova showed statistically significant differences between groups (P = 0.0001). Tukey HSD post hoc tests showed statistically significant differences in SP release between the intact-teeth control group and the three other groups (P < 0.01) and between the unetched-cavity control group and the 'one-step' bonding agent group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the 'two-step' bonding agent and the unetched-cavity control group. CONCLUSION Dentine-bonding agents placed over Class V cavity preparations increased SP release. One-step dentine-bonding agents increased SP release most.

Abstract
Resin-based dental restorative materials are extensively used today in dentistry. However, significant concerns still remain regarding their biocompatibility. For this reason, significant scientific effort has been focused on the determination of the molecular toxicology of substances released by these biomaterials, using several tools for risk assessment, including exposure assessment, hazard identification and dose-response analysis. These studies have shown that substances released by these materials can cause significant cytotoxic and genotoxic effects, leading to irreversible disturbance of basic cellular functions. The aim of this article is to review current knowledge related to dental composites' molecular toxicology and to give implications for possible improvements concerning their biocompatibility.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathological effects of camphorquinone (CQ) and 9-fluorenone (9F) with or without visible light (VL) irradiation on the oral mucous membranes of mice. VL irradiation resulted in a higher degree of tissue damage after CQ or 9F application, particularly the latter. Necrosis and apoptosis were responsible for the tissue damage after application of either agent in the presence of VL irradiation.

Abstract
9-Fluorenone (9F), the aromatic photosensitizer, is widely used as an initiator in visible-light (VL) cured resin systems. There is growing concern that 9F may produce genetic damage by inducing mutation. In this study, 9F in the presence or absence of reducing agent N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) with or without VL irradiation was analyzed for the induction of chromosomal aberrations indicated by micronuclei (MN) induced in CHO cells. Our data demonstrated that a dose-related increase in the frequency of MN and prolonged cell cycles in 9F with or without DMT in the presence or absence of VL irradiation (p < 0.05). The rank orders with respect to genotoxicity and cytotoxicity were found to be as follows: 9F/DMT +VL > 9F/DMT = 9F + VL > 9F. To determine whether oxidative stress could modulate MN induced by 9F/DMT with or without VL irradiation in CHO cells, cells were pretreated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol. The pretreatment with antioxidants could diminish not only the prolonged cell cycle but also the decreased frequency of MN which is induced by 9F with or without DMT in the presence or absence of VL irradiation in CHO cells (p < 0.05). Our findings provide the evidences for the induction of MN by 9F in the presence or absence of DMT with or without VL irradiation in CHO cells, indicating clastogenic activity of 9F/DMT in vitro. These antioxidants act as the antagonists against the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of 9F/DMT. Thus, leaching photoinitiator and reducing agent might be contributing the sources of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Camphorquinone (CQ) is widely used as an initiator in modern visible-light (VL) cured resin systems. CQ is also characterized as a potential allergenic compound. To date, there is growing concern that CQ may produce genetic damage by inducing mutation. In this study, CQ in the presence of reducing agent N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) with or without VL irradiation was analyzed for the induction of chromosomal aberrations indicated by micronuclei (MN) induced in CHO cells. Our data demonstrated that an increase in the numbers of MN was observed with CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation (p < 0.05). Significant prolongation of cell cycles was observed by the treatment with CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation (p < 0.05). In addition, VL irradiated CQ/DMT was found to exhibit significantly genotoxic and cytotoxic effects as compared with CQ/DMT alone (p < 0.05). Furthermore, to determine whether oxidative stress could modulate the MN induced by CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation in CHO cells, cells were pre-treated with various antioxidants 10 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), 2 mM ascorbic acid, and 2 mM alpha-tocopherol. The pre-treatment with antioxidants could antagonize not only the increased MN cells but also the prolonged cell cycle induced by CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation in CHO cells (p < 0.05). Our findings provide the evidences for the induction of MN by CQ/DMT employing mammalian test system, indicating clastogenic activity of CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation in vitro. In addition, VL irradiated CQ/DMT exhibits higher genotoxic and cytotoxic effects than CQ/DMT alone. Moreover, NAC, ascorbic acid, and alpha-tocopherol act as the antagonists against the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of CQ/DMT with or without VL irradiation.

Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to analyze whether various combinations of the ROS scavengers glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), and vitamins C and E decrease DNA damage due to visible-light-irradiated (VL-irradiated) camphorquinone/N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (CQ/DMT) compared with individual vitamin C or E. PhiX-174 RF plasmid DNA was used to determine single and double strand breaks as parameters of DNA damage. Individual ROS scavengers and combinations of the antioxidants were added to plasmid DNA treated with VL-irradiated CQ/DMT/Cu (II). After incubation, DNA was loaded into a 1% agarose gel. Following electrophoresis, gels stained with 0.5 microg/mL ethidium bromide were photographed under ultraviolet illumination and analyzed with NIH ImageJ software. Results were evaluated between groups for statistical significance using Student's paired t-test (p < 0.05). Glutathione significantly reduced oxidative DNA damage at all test concentrations when combined with vitamin C or vitamin E. The concentration of damaged DNA observed in the presence of combinations of GSH with vitamin C or vitamin E was significantly lower compared with all other combinations of antioxidants investigated in our study (p < 0.05). In contrast to GSH, NAC was not able to compensate the pro-oxidative effects of vitamin C and vitamin E. Only at a concentration of 2 mM, NAC combined with vitamin C efficiently prevented CQ/DMT/Cu (II)-associated DNA damage. Our data indicate that solely the combinations of GSH with vitamin C or vitamin E significantly reduce the severity of oxidative DNA damage caused by CQ/DMT, whereas NAC may even increase the pro-oxidant activity of vitamin C and vitamin E.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are ubiquitous in environment and may have various undesirable effects on human health. In the present study, we have shown that some EDC [benzophenone, p-octylphenol, and tributyltin chloride (TBT)] promoted strong Th2 polarization via suppression and augmentation of Th1 and Th2 development, respectively, from naive CD4+ T cells primed with anti-CD3 and splenic antigen-presenting cells (APC). The effect was indicated to be indirect via suppression of IL-12 production and augmentation of IL-10 production of APC, which are critical for the Th1 and Th2 development, respectively. Such modulation of cytokine production by EDC was associated with reduction of intracellular glutathione levels in APC. IL-10 deprivation or the addition of N-acetylcysteine, which replenishes intracellular glutathione level during priming, cancelled the effect of EDC on the promotion of Th2 polarization. Oral administration of TBT, which most effectively promoted Th2 polarization in vitro, exacerbated airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma with concomitant enhancement of Th2-type immunity. Collectively these results suggest that EDC such as benzophenone, p-octylphenol, and TBT promote Th2 polarization indirectly via the depletion of glutathione in APC and subsequent modulation of IL-10 and IL-12 production that might result in the exacerbation of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that visible-light (VL)-irradiated camphorquinone (CQ), in the presence of a tertiary amine (e.g., N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, DMT), generates initiating radicals that may indiscriminately react with molecular oxygen forming reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, the ability of the antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) and ascorbic acid (AA) to reduce intracellular oxidative stress induced by VL-irradiated CQ/DMT or VL-irradiated hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) was assessed in an immortalized Murine cementoblast cell line (OCCM.30) and an immortalized Murine fibroblast cell line, 3T3-Swiss albino (3T3). Intracellular oxidative stress was measured with the membrane permeable dye, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H(2)DCF-DA). VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H(2)O(2) each produced significantly (p<0.001) elevated intracellular oxidative levels in both cell types compared to intracellular ROS levels in VL-irradiated untreated cells. OCCM.30 cementoblasts were found to be almost twice as sensitive to VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H(2)O(2) treatment compared to 3T3 fibroblasts. Furthermore, 10mm NAC and 10mm AA each eliminated oxidative stress induced by VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H(2)O(2) in both cell types. Our results suggest that NAC and AA may effectively reduce or eliminate oxidative stress in cells exposed to VL-irradiated CQ/DMT following polymerization.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that following visible-light (VL) irradiation, CQ and the CQ-related photosensitizers benzil (BZ), benzophenone (BP), and 9-fluorenone (9-F) generate initiating radicals that may indiscriminately react with molecular oxygen forming reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether VL-irradiated CQ, BZ, BP, and 9-F cause DNA damage due to the generation of ROS in vitro. ROS formation by CQ and CQ-related photosensitizers+/-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) was investigated in a cell-free system with VL irradiation. DNA damage was determined using PhiX-174 RF I supercoiled double-stranded plasmid DNA and ROS quantified with 4-((9-acridinecarbonyl)amino)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO-9-AC), a fluorogenic ROS-sensitive probe. VL-irradiated CQ, BZ, BP, and 9-F (+/-DMT) produced significant DNA damage at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mM and in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05). TEMPO-9-AC revealed that all investigated VL-irradiated photosensitizers produced significant amounts of ROS with BZ in the presence of DMT generating the most ROS after 30, 60, and 90 min. VL-irradiated CQ, BZ, BP, and 9-F +/-DMT continued to generate significant amounts of ROS 90 min after VL irradiation. As a result, future investigations should evaluate the effect of VL-irradiated photosensitizers in cells and possible protective effects provided by antioxidants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Curcumin is a well-known chemopreventive agent of oral cancers as well as stomach and intestinal cancers. The relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell membrane mobility was investigated to clarify the pro-oxidant mechanism of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin (TH-curcumin). METHODS The intracellular ROS production and membrane mobility by curcumin or TH-curcumin were measured in human submandibular adenocarcinoma cells (HSGs) and human primary gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). ROS and mobility were measured by 5-(and -6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate staining and fluorescence recovery after photo bleaching, respectively. RESULTS Curcumin produced ROS dose-dependently. ROS appeared in the region surrounding the cell membrane. The membrane mobility coefficient of the curcumin-treated cells was significantly lower than that of control cells. The lowered membrane mobility induced by curcumin was reversed by the addition of glutathione, an antioxidant. In contrast, TH-curcumin did not affect the ROS production or the membrane mobility coefficient. The alternations induced by curcumin treated HSG cells were greater than those by HGF cells. CONCLUSION The reduction in membrane mobility induced by curcumin was attributed to ROS production. The oxidative effects of curcumin may be related to the structure of the alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl moiety as well as the phenolic OH group of this compound.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is important for the self-protection of cells against oxidative stress and toxic xenobiotics, whereas reactive oxygen species (ROS) at elevated concentrations may cause detrimental alterations of cell membranes, DNA, and other cellular structures. The present investigation addressed the effects of triethylene-glycoldimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and camphorquinone (CQ) on glutathione metabolism and the formation of ROS in oral cells. Primary human pulp fibroblasts were exposed to various concentrations of TEGDMA and CQ (0.1-5 mM). Subsequently, GSH concentration and ROS formation were analyzed with the use of the monobromobimane assay (GSH) and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) (ROS). The endogenous ROS hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used as a positive control (0.02-2 mM). TEGDMA significantly decreased GSH at concentrations between 0.5 and 5 mM (p<0.05), but did not elevate ROS levels. Contrary, CQ increased ROS formation at concentrations>or=1 mM, but had only a moderate effect on GSH at the highest test concentration. Hydrogen peroxide increased ROS and simultaneously decreased GSH at concentrations of >or=0.2 mM. These data show that the investigated substances may cause cell damage due to various mechanisms, GSH decrease and/or ROS increase. As a consequence, TEGDMA and CQ released into an aqueous environment from resinous materials might interact, thus generating significant cytotoxic effects even at low concentrations.

Abstract
Camphorquinone (CQ) is widely used as a photo-initiator in dental materials; however, its cytotoxicity against human pulp fibroblasts (HPF) and particularly the effects of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMA), a reducing agent and visible light (VL) irradiation on it remain unknown. So we investigated the cytotoxic and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing effects of CQ with or without DMA, in the presence or absence of VL on HPF cells. The free-radical production activity of CQ was measured by two different methods [using diphenylpicryl hydrazyl and galvinoxyl]. The phase-transition properties of dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline (DPPC) liposomes, as a model for biomembranes, induced by CQ were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. These findings were compared with those of 9-fluorenone (9F), an aromatic photo-initiator with long conjugated groups. Camphorquinone with VL irradiation increased the radical production, whereas 9F with VL irradiation increased ROS production, as well as effecting changes in the DPPC phase-transition properties. The cytotoxicity of CQ towards HPF cells was smaller than that of 9F despite greater radical production. The addition of DMA to the photosensitizer enhanced the free-radical production without increasing the ROS level or the cytotoxicity. Camphorquinone/DMA is a valuable combination for the polymerization of dental resins.

Abstract
The purpose was to investigate the influence of curing devices and curing times on the yellow value (b-value) of composites, ormocers and compomers after performing a suntest (EN ISO 7491). Eight samples of Charisma (CH), Durafill (DU), Definite (DE), and Dyract AP (DY) each were light cured with Translux Energy (tungsten halogen light) for 20, 40 or 60 s and with Apollo 95-E (plasma light) for 3, 10 or 20 s. All samples were subjected to a suntest. Before and after the suntest the yellow values (b-values) were determined and the change (Delta b) was calculated. When cured with Translux Energy for 20 and 40 s DU, CH, and DY revealed significantly negative Delta b-values. The b-value of DE remained nearly constant. When cured for 60 s, DU and DE shifted to more yellow while CH and DY still bleached a little. When cured with Apollo 95-E, a dramatic bleaching process of all materials investigated occurred after the suntest (significant negative Delta b). It may be concluded that the bleaching of composites, ormocers and compomers depends on (i) the used light curing device and (ii) the chosen curing times. The tungsten halogen light provided highly significantly superior results.

Abstract
Quenched phosphorescence detection of camphorquinone in cyclodextrin-based electrokinetic chromatography provides very favorable detection limits, i.e., 7 x 10(-)(7) M, 3 orders of magnitude lower than conventional UV absorption detection at 200 nm. The detection is based on the dynamic quenching by the analyte of the strong phosphorescence emission of brominated naphthalenesulfonate, under deoxygenated buffer solution conditions. This approach has been used to detect (1S)-(+)- and (1R)-(-)-camphorquinone after enantiomeric separation by CE. Although the use of the negatively charged carboxymethyl beta-cyclodextrin (CM-beta-CD) alone was not successful, the addition of a second, neutral cyclodextrin, alpha-CD, provided an adequate enantiomeric separation of camphorquinone. Using 25 mM borate buffer (pH 8.5) with 10 mM CM-beta-CD and 20 mM alpha-CD (applied voltage 20 kV, ambient temperature), the enantiomeric separation was performed in approximately 14 min. The chiral method was applied to monitor the stereoselectivity of the biotransformation of a racemic mixture of camphorquinone by yeast. It was found that the enantiomeric ratio calculated from the peak areas in the electropherogram (RSD = 5%) after 24 h of incubation decreased from 0.92 for the control solution (culture medium without yeast) to 0.24 for the culture medium; a similar ratio of 0.25 was observed for cell extract solutions. Therefore, racemic camphorquinone is enantioselectively degraded by yeast, the biodegradation of (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone being faster than that of the (1R)-(-)-enantiomer.

Abstract
Previous studies revealed that primarily small and relatively hydrophilic comonomers, such as TEGDMA, leach out of resin-based restorative materials into aqueous media. Subsequently, these compounds may cause detrimental reactions with intracellular metabolic systems. The present experiments attempted to elucidate the interactions of TEGDMA with the important intracellular reducing agent glutathione (GSH). The influence of various concentrations of TEGDMA (0.5-7.5 mM) on viability and intracellular GSH concentration of primary human gingival fibroblasts was determined by means of a fluorescence assay (monobromobimane) performed in microtiter plates. Cells were treated with TEDGMA between 2 and 24 h. The incubation of fibroblasts with TEGDMA even at subtoxic concentrations quickly decreased the intracellular glutathione level to 30-50% of controls within the first 2-6 hours. However, no simultaneous adverse effect on cell viability was found. Longer incubation periods up to 24 h caused a regulatory reincrease at TEGDMA concentrations <or= 2.5 mM, whereas higher concentrations resulted in a continuous depletion of glutathione concentration concomitant with a significant decrease of cell viability. Because glutathione plays an important role in protection and detoxification processes as well in the regulation of cell death, the early and extensive depletion of the intracellular glutathione pool due to TEGDMA may significantly contribute to the cytotoxic potency of this compound.

Abstract
To clarify the possible link between radicals and the cytotoxicity of eugenol-related compounds, 2-allyl-4-X-phenols (2-allyl-4-chlorophenol (1), 2-allyl-4-phenylphenol (2), 2-allyl-4-methoxyphenol (3), 2-allyl-4-acetylphenol (4), 2-allyl-4-nitrophenol (5), 2-allyl-4-t-butylphenol (6), 2-allyl-4-methyphenol (7), 2-allyl-4-bromophenol (8), 2,4-dimethoxyphenol (9)), and dimeric compounds from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), BHA (2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol) or MMP (2-methoxy-4-methylphenol); bis-EUG (3,3'-dimethoxy-5,5'-di-2-propenyl-1, 1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (10), bis-MMP (3,3'-dimethoxy-5,5'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (11) bis-BHA (3,3'-di-t-butyl-5,5'-dimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (12) were synthesized. The radical production, radical-scavenging activity and the cytotoxicity of these synthetic compounds and conventional antioxidants (i.e. butylhydroxytoluine, BHT; butylhydroxyanisole, BHA; alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc); eugenol, phenol) were studied. Erectron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy suggested that compounds of 3, 6, 9, eugenol and BHA, but not compounds of 10, 11, and 12 produced radicals in alkaline solutions (pH>9.5) and compounds, 3, eugenol and 9 most efficiently scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS, O(2)(-)). The cytotoxic activity of 6 toward human submandibular gland carcinoma (HSG) cells was the highest and was 1000-fold greater than that of eugenol and 100-fold greater than that of BHA, possibly due to the high hydrophobicity and stable phenoxy radicals of this compound. The kinetic polymerization method in the presence of methyl methacrylate (MMA), an antioxidant, and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was developed for the measurements of the number of moles of peroxy radicals trapped by moles of the relative phenols (stoichiometric factors, n), the inhibition rate of polymerization (R(inh)), and the inhibition rate constants (k(inh), the rate constants for scavenging of radicals by an antioxidant). The n values of conventional phenolic antioxidants decreased in the order: alpha-Toc>BHT>eugenol>phenol. Those for eugenol and phenol, less hindered phenols, were much less than two, whereas those for alpha-Toc and BHT, hindered phenols, were approximately two. The R(inh) of alpha-Toc significantly increased tcompared with that of BHT, eugenol and phenol. The k(inh) of the polymer radicals of the MMA reaction with conventional phenolic antioxidants was a low value of 1-2x10(2) M(-1) s(-1), suggesting that the antioxidants trapped radicals quickly. The comparative cytotoxicity of methoxyphenols against HSG cells was investigated. The cytotoxic activity of dimers of 10 and 12 was markedly lower than that of their corresponding monomers, whereas that of the dimer of MMP, 11 was not reduced even after the dimerization. In particular, visible-light (VL) exposure enhanced the cytotoxicity of 11 similar to the monomers of eugenol, BHA and MMP. Changes in BDE (ph(O-H)) (homolytic bond dissociation energy) for phenols is well known to be associated with the n and k(inh) values, and consequently the cytotoxic activity. Thus, the BDE was calculated using a PM3 semiempirical method. The n and k(inh) values for monophenols, but not for dimers were correlated to the BDE, possibly due to the steric hindrance of orthosubstituents of dimers. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of eugenol-related compounds was investigated, indicating that logP (octanol-water partition coefficients), the redox potential measured in culture medium, was effective as a term for QSAR. A parabolic relation between the cytotoxic activity and the logP or the redox potential, but not the BDE was observed with an optimum value. In conclusion, the cytotocity of eugenol-related compounds was significantly associated with the activity of the production of phenoxyl radicals, their stability of the subsequent quinonemethide (QM) and the hydrophobicity.
