Abstract
Cluster of differentiation (CD)44 is a marker of dental pulp stem cells and is involved in odontoblast differentiation and calcification. Chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), also known as chemerin receptor 23 (ChemR23) is also expressed in odontoblasts and dental pulp stem cells and is involved in inflammation suppression and tooth regeneration. Resolvin E1, a bioactive lipid, is a CMKLR1 ligand that mediates the chemerin-CMKLR1 interaction and suppresses pulpal inflammation. The present study clarified the intracellular and tissue localization of CD44 and CMKLR1 by immunohistochemical staining of normal pulp and pulp with pulpitis from 12-week-old male Wistar rat teeth or human teeth. In addition, the localization of CD44 and CMKLR1 in human dental pulp stem cells was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The present study also examined the involvement of resolvin E1 in inhibiting inflammation and calcification by western blotting. CD44- and CMKLR1-positive cells were confirmed in the odontoblast layer in normal dental pulp of rats and humans. CD44 was mainly localized in the cell membrane and CMKLR1 was mainly found in the cytoplasm of human dental pulp stem cells. CMKLR1 was also confirmed in the odontoblast layer in rats and humans with pulpitis but CD44 was not present. Following treatment of dental pulp stem cells with lipoteichoic acid, which imitates Gram-positive bacterial infection, resolvin E1 did not suppress the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 or of the odontoblast differentiation marker, dentin sialophosphoprotein. Furthermore, resolvin E1 induced the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells into odontoblasts even in the presence of the inflammatory stimulus.

Vaseenon S, Srisuwan T, Liang G, Chattipakorn N, Chattipakorn SC. Myeloid differentiation factor 2 inhibitors exert protective effects on lipopolysaccharides-treated human dental pulp cells via suppression of toll-like receptor 4-mediated signaling. J Dent Sci 2024; 19:220-230. [PMID: 38303896 PMCID: PMC10829556 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.04.024] [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: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose The toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD-2) complex is known to have a role in inflammation. Blocking MD-2 can suppress inflammatory process. However, the actual action of MD-2 inhibitors, including MAC28, L6H21, and 2i-10, on the inflamed human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) has never been examined. This study aims to determine the pharmacological effects of these 3 compounds on cell viability, inflammation, and osteo/odontogenic differentiation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated HDPCs. Materials and methods HDPCs were pretreated with 10 μM of MAC28, L6H21, or 2i-10 for 2 h followed by either 20 μg/mL LPS or vehicle for 24 h. Cell viability was assessed using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The mRNA and expression of the proteins TLR4, MD-2, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. Osteo/odontogenic differentiation was investigated using qRT-PCR and Alizarin Red staining. Results LPS did not alter cell viability but significantly increased the expression levels of TLR4, MD-2, TNF-α, and IL-6 in HDPCs while the osteo/odontogenic differentiation ability decreased significantly when compared to the vehicle-treated group. MAC28, L6H21, and 2i-10-pretreatment in LPS-treated HDPCs reduced inflammation and restored osteo/odontogenic differentiation to similar levels as the vehicle-treated group. Conclusion MAC28, L6H21, and 2i-10 exhibited equal efficacy in attenuating inflammation through downregulation of TLR4-MD-2 signaling and restored osteo/odontogenic differentiation in LPS-treated HDPCs. These MD-2 inhibitors could be considered as the potential therapeutic supplement for curing inflammation of dental pulp in future studies.

Abstract
The pursuit of tissue regeneration has fueled decades of research in regenerative medicine. Among the numerous types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) have recently emerged as a particularly promising candidate for tissue repair and regeneration. In recent years, evidence has highlighted the pivotal role of mitochondria in directing and orchestrating the differentiation processes of DMSCs. Beyond mitochondrial energy metabolism, the multifaceted functions of mitochondria are governed by the mitochondrial quality control (MQC) system, encompassing biogenesis, autophagy, and dynamics. Notably, mitochondrial energy metabolism not only governs the decision to differentiate but also exerts a substantial influence on the determination of differentiation directions. Furthermore, the MQC system exerts a nuanced impact on the differentiation of DMSCs by finely regulating the quality and mass of mitochondria. The review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms governing the multi-directional differentiation of DMSCs, mediated by both mitochondrial energy metabolism and the MQC system. We also focus on a new idea based on the analysis of data from many research groups never considered before, namely, DMSC-based regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammation of the dental pulp tissue caused by bacteria, creating an immunology response of death of the dental pulp, is called apoptosis. The Porphyromonas gingivalis that cause apoptosis is lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through toll-like receptor (TLR) via two different mechanisms, intracellular and extracellular pathways. This study analyzed the role of LPS exposure of neuron cells, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and cytochrome c (cyt-c) expression in the dental pulp to predict the possible mechanism of apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lower tooth of Sprague Dawley rats was opened and exposed to LPS for 48 hours. Then the neuron cell analyzed histopathology using hematoxylin-eosin, whereas the TNF-α and cyt-c expression with indirect immunohistochemistry using a light microscope. The relationship between neuron cells with TNF-α and cyt-c was analyzed using stepwise regression linear analysis. RESULT The LPS exposure showed a lower number of neuron cells and had a relationship with TNF-α expression but not with cyt-c, while compared with control, both TNF-α and cyt-c expression were higher in neuron cells. CONCLUSION LPS exposure in dental pulp is possible to stimulate the apoptosis process through extracellular pathways marked by higher TNF-α expression.

A systematic review of basic research. Restor Dent Endod 2023; 48:e39. [PMID: 38053785 PMCID: PMC10695728 DOI: 10.5395/rde.2023.48.e39] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of different topical/systemic agents in reducing the damage caused by bleaching gel to pulp tissue or cells. Materials and Methods Electronic searches were performed in July 2023. In vivo and in vitro studies evaluating the effects of different topical or systemic agents on pulp inflammation or cytotoxicity after exposure to bleaching agents were included. The risk of bias was assessed. Results Out of 1,112 articles, 27 were included. Nine animal studies evaluated remineralizing/anti-inflammatories agents in rat molars subjected to bleaching with 35%-38% hydrogen peroxide (HP). Five of these studies demonstrated a significant reduction in inflammation caused by HP when combined with bioglass or MI Paste Plus (GC America), or following KF-desensitizing or Otosporin treatment (n = 3). However, orally administered drugs did not reduce pulp inflammation (n = 4). Cytotoxicity (n = 17) was primarily assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on human dental pulp cells and mouse dental papilla Cell-23 cells. Certain substances, including sodium ascorbate, butein, manganese chloride, and peroxidase, were found to reduce cytotoxicity, particularly when applied prior to bleaching. The risk of bias was high in animal studies and low in laboratory studies. Conclusions Few in vivo studies have evaluated agents to reduce the damage caused by bleaching gel to pulp tissue. Within the limitations of these studies, it was found that topical agents were effective in reducing pulp inflammation in animals and cytotoxicity. Further analyses with human pulp are required to substantiate these findings. Trial Registration PROSPERO Identifier: CRD42022337192.
