GNAI3 mediated by Lin28A regulates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and osteogenic differentiation in periodontal stem cells by mediating the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Arch Oral Biol 2024; 163:105974. [PMID: 38636252 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2024.105974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role of G protein subunit alpha i3 (GNAI3) in periodontitis. DESIGN Following the induction of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the mRNA and protein expressions of GNAI3 and Lin28A were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. The transfection efficiency of Oe-GNAI3 and sh-Lin28A was examined by virtue of RT-qPCR and western blot. With the application of ELISA and flow cytometry, the releases of inflammatory cytokines and cell apoptosis were appraised. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red S (ARS) staining were conducted to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. Next, the binding ability of Lin28A with GNAI3 mRNA was estimated by radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) assay while the stability of GNAI3 mRNA was assessed utilizing RT-qPCR. Western blot was employed for the measurement of inflammation-, apoptosis- and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway-related proteins and osteogenic markers. RESULTS The expression of GNAI3 was down-regulated in LPS-induced hPDLSCs. After the transfection with Oe-GNAI3, the inflammation and apoptosis in LPS-induced hPDLSCs were inhibited while osteogenic differentiation was promoted. Moreover, Lin28A could stabilize GNAI3 mRNA and Lin28A knockdown significantly reduced GNAI3 expression. Further experiments verified that the inhibitory effects of GNAI3 overexpression on LPS-induced cellular inflammation and cell apoptosis as well as the promotive effects on osteogenic differentiation in hPDLSCs were all partially counteracted by Lin28A depletion, which may possibly be mediated via the regulation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. CONCLUSION GNAI3 that mediated by Lin28A regulates the inflammation and osteogenic differentiation in LPS-induced hPDLSCs by mediating the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Abstract
Biomedical engineering breakthroughs and increased patient expectations and requests for more comprehensive care are propelling the field of regenerative dentistry forward at a fast pace. Stem cells (SCs), bioactive compounds, and scaffolds are the mainstays of tissue engineering, the backbone of regenerative dentistry. Repairing damaged teeth and gums is a significant scientific problem at present. Novel therapeutic approaches for tooth and periodontal healing have been inspired by tissue engineering based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Furthermore, as a component of the MSC secretome, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to contribute to periodontal tissue repair and regeneration. The scaffold, made of an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM), acts as a supporting structure for new cell development and tissue formation. To effectively promote cell development, a scaffold must be non-toxic, biodegradable, biologically compatible, low in immunogenicity, and safe. Due to its promising biological characteristics for cell regeneration, dental tissue engineering has recently received much attention for its use of natural or synthetic polymer scaffolds with excellent mechanical properties, such as small pore size and a high surface-to-volume ratio, as a matrix. Moreover, as a bioactive material for carrying MSC-EVs, the combined application of scaffolds and MSC-EVs has a better regenerative effect on dental diseases. In this paper, we discuss how MSCs and MSC-derived EV treatment may be used to regenerate damaged teeth, and we highlight the role of various scaffolds in this process.

Abstract
Background Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have emerged as a promising treatment option for young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, offering the potential for tissue repair and preservation. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 30 patients aged 8 to 16 years with pulp necrosis in young permanent teeth. The patients underwent REPs, including disinfection, triple antibiotic paste application, and a coronal barrier. Clinical and radiographic data were collected at baseline and follow-up appointments at 6, 12, and 24 months. Radiographs were analyzed for root lengthening, apical closure, and resolution of periapical lesions. Results The mean increase in root length after 24 months was 3.42 mm (SD ± 1.12 mm), and 90% of cases demonstrated complete apical closure. The overall success rate, defined as the absence of clinical symptoms and radiographic evidence of pathology, was 80. Conclusion REPs show promising outcomes in young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, promoting root development, and apical closure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The application of stem cells in regenerative medicine depends on their biological properties. This scoping review aimed to compare the features of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSSCs) with stem cells derived from other sources. DESIGN An electronic search in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar and Science Direct was conducted to identify in vitro and in vivo studies limited to English language. RESULTS Overall, 65 articles were included. Most comparisons were made between bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and PDLSCs. BMSCs were found to have lower proliferation and higher osteogenesis potential in vitro and in vivo than PDLSCs; on the contrary, dental follicle stem cells and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) had a higher proliferative ability and lower osteogenesis than PDLSCs. Moreover, UCMSCs exhibited a higher apoptotic rate, hTERT expression, and relative telomerase length. The immunomodulatory function of adipose-derived stem cells and BMSCs was comparable to PDLSCs. Gingival mesenchymal stem cells showed less sensitivity to long-term culture. Both pure and mixed gingival cells had lower osteogenic ability compared to PDLSCs. Comparison of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) with PDLSCs regarding proliferation rate, osteo/adipogenesis, and immunomodulatory properties was contradictory; however, in vivo bone formation of DPSCs seemed to be lower than PDLSCs. CONCLUSION In light of the performed comparative studies, PDLSCs showed comparable results to stem cells derived from other sources; however, further in vivo studies are needed to determine the actual pros and cons of stem cells in comparison to each other.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well known for their beneficial effects, differentiation capacity and regenerative potential. Dental-derived MSCs (DSCs) are more easily accessible and have a non-invasive isolation method rather than MSCs isolated from other sources (umbilical cord, bone marrow, and adipose tissue). In addition, DSCs appear to have a relevant neuro-regenerative potential due to their neural crest origin. However, it is now known that the beneficial effects of MSCs depend, at least in part, on their secretome, referring to all the bioactive molecules (neurotrophic factors) released in the conditioned medium (CM) or in the extracellular vesicles (EVs) in particular exosomes (Exos). In this review, we described the similarities and differences between various DSCs. Our focus was on the secretome of DSCs and their applications in cell therapy for neurological disorders. For neuro-regenerative purposes, the secretome of different DSCs has been tested. Among these, the secretome of dental pulp stem cells and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth have been the most widely studied. Both CM and Exos obtained from DSCs have been shown to promote neurite outgrowth and neuroprotective effects as well as their combination with scaffold materials (to improve their functional integration in the tissue). For these reasons, the secretome obtained from DSCs in combination with scaffold materials may represent a promising tissue engineering approach for neuroprotective and neuro-regenerative treatments.

Abstract
Graphene and its derivatives have attracted much attention as nanomaterials in bone tissue engineering because of their remarkable ability to induce cell osteogenic differentiation. However, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as graphene derivatives, little is known about their osteodifferentiation- and osteoinduction-promoting capabilities, especially in the restoration of bone defect caused by periodontitis. Therefore, there is a growing need to investigate the effect of GQDs on periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Here, we postulated that GQDs are a promising biocompatible nanomaterial that facilitated the migration and differentiation of PDLSCs, and use laboratory methods like CCK-8, transwell experiments, qRT-PCR, Alizarin red staining and immunofluorescence staining to evaluate. Our experiments confirmed that GQDs did not inhibit cell viability, with most cells remaining viable even at GQDs concentrations of up to 30 μg mL-1. Moreover, GQDs were found to significantly enhance PDLSC migration, with the peak effect observed at concentrations of 5 and 10 μg mL-1. Furthermore, GQDs accelerated osteoblastic differentiation in PDLSCs and induced the mineralization of calcium nodules. Additionally, GQDs were shown to promote fibroblast differentiation in PDLSCs compared to the control group. Thus, GQDs not only possessed low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, but also displayed the beneficial capability to migration and differentiation of PDLSCs, which indicated GQDs might be a potential nanomaterial for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Adult mesenchymal stem cells are those obtained from the conformation of dental structures (DMSC), such as deciduous and permanent teeth and other surrounding tissues. Background: The self-renewal and differentiation capacities of these adult stem cells allow for great clinical potential. Because DMSC are cells of ectomesenchymal origin, they reveal a high capacity for complete regeneration of dental pulp, periodontal tissue, and other biomedical applications; their differentiation into other types of cells promotes repair in muscle tissue, cardiac, pancreatic, nervous, bone, cartilage, skin, and corneal tissues, among others, with a high predictability of success. Therefore, stem and progenitor cells, with their exosomes of dental origin and surrounding areas in the oral cavity due to their plasticity, are considered a fundamental pillar in medicine and regenerative dentistry. Tissue engineering (MSCs, scaffolds, and bioactive molecules) sustains and induces its multipotent and immunomodulatory effects. It is of vital importance to guarantee the safety and efficacy of the procedures designed for patients, and for this purpose, more clinical trials are needed to increase the efficacy of several pathologies. Conclusion: From a bioethical and transcendental anthropological point of view, the human person as a unique being facilitates better clinical and personalized therapy, given the higher prevalence of dental and chronic systemic diseases.

Neurological Disease Modeling Using Pluripotent and Multipotent Stem Cells: A Key Step towards Understanding and Treating Mucopolysaccharidoses. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11041234. [PMID: 37189853 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11041234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite extensive research, the links between the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the clinical features seen in patients suffering from various forms of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) have yet to be further elucidated. This is particularly true for the neuropathology of these disorders; the neurological symptoms are currently incurable, even in the cases where a disease-specific therapeutic approach does exist. One of the best ways to get insights on the molecular mechanisms driving that pathogenesis is the analysis of patient-derived cells. Yet, not every patient-derived cell recapitulates relevant disease features. For the neuronopathic forms of MPSs, for example, this is particularly evident because of the obvious inability to access live neurons. This scenario changed significantly with the advent of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technologies. From then on, a series of differentiation protocols to generate neurons from iPSC was developed and extensively used for disease modeling. Currently, human iPSC and iPSC-derived cell models have been generated for several MPSs and numerous lessons were learnt from their analysis. Here we review most of those studies, not only listing the currently available MPS iPSC lines and their derived models, but also summarizing how they were generated and the major information different groups have gathered from their analyses. Finally, and taking into account that iPSC generation is a laborious/expensive protocol that holds significant limitations, we also hypothesize on a tempting alternative to establish MPS patient-derived neuronal cells in a much more expedite way, by taking advantage of the existence of a population of multipotent stem cells in human dental pulp to establish mixed neuronal and glial cultures.

[PMID: 37110177 PMCID: PMC10143950 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13040520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The cellular metabolic processes ensure the physiological integrity of the dentine-pulp complex. Odontoblasts and odontoblast-like cells are responsible for the defence mechanisms in the form of tertiary dentine formation. In turn, the main defence reaction of the pulp is the development of inflammation, during which the metabolic and signalling pathways of the cells are significantly altered. The selected dental procedures, such as orthodontic treatment, resin infiltration, resin restorations or dental bleaching, can impact the cellular metabolism in the dental pulp. Among systemic metabolic diseases, diabetes mellitus causes the most consequences for the cellular metabolism of the dentine-pulp complex. Similarly, ageing processes present a proven effect on the metabolic functioning of the odontoblasts and the pulp cells. In the literature, several potential metabolic mediators demonstrating anti-inflammatory properties on inflamed dental pulp are mentioned. Moreover, the pulp stem cells exhibit the regenerative potential essential for maintaining the function of the dentine-pulp complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal ligament progenitor cells (PDL cells) isolated from patients with inflammatory periodontitis have impaired regenerative capacity, but it is unknown whether this capacity can be recovered upon treatment and stabilization of the periodontal condition. The study aimed to investigate the expression of surface markers and the proliferation and osteogenic potential of PDL cells isolated from patients with treated stable periodontitis (S-PDL cells), periodontally healthy individuals (H-PDL cells), and patients with inflammatory periodontitis (I-PDL cells). METHODS H-PDL, I-PDL, and S-PDL cells were isolated from the extracted teeth of individuals who (1) were periodontally healthy, (2) had inflammatory periodontitis, and (3) had treated stable periodontitis, respectively. The expression levels of surface markers and the proliferative and osteogenic capacities of the PDL cells were assessed. RESULTS PDL cells derived from all three sources exhibited mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics. They were positive for MSC-related markers and negative for a hematopoiesis-related marker. However, S-PDL cells had higher proliferation rates, higher expression levels of osteogenic markers, higher alkaline phosphatase activity, and more calcium nodules than I-PDL cells. But all of these parameters remained lower in S-PDL cells than in H-PDL cells. CONCLUSIONS S-PDL cells proliferated faster and had greater osteogenic potential than I-PDL cells, although these values remained lower than those in H-PDL cells.

Abstract
Cartilage lesions are common conditions, affecting elderly and non-athletic populations. Despite recent advances, cartilage regeneration remains a major challenge today. The absence of an inflammatory response following damage and the inability of stem cells to penetrate into the healing site due to the absence of blood and lymph vessels are assumed to hinder joint repair. Stem cell-based regeneration and tissue engineering have opened new horizons for treatment. With advances in biological sciences, especially stem cell research, the function of various growth factors in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation has been established. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues have been shown to increase into therapeutically relevant cell numbers and differentiate into mature chondrocytes. As MSCs can differentiate and become engrafted inside the host, they are considered suitable candidates for cartilage regeneration. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) provide a novel and non-invasive source of MSCs. Due to their simple isolation, chondrogenic differentiation potential, and minimal immunogenicity, they can be an interesting option for cartilage regeneration. Recent studies have reported that SHED-derived secretome contains biomolecules and compounds that efficiently promote regeneration in damaged tissues, including cartilage. Overall, this review highlighted the advances and challenges of cartilage regeneration using stem cell-based therapies by focusing on SHED.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish that copper-deposited Diatom-biosilica have the potential and possibility for clinical applications in repairing bone defects in a state of inflammation, such as periodontitis. Treatment of alveolar bone defects caused by periodontitis is a major challenge for clinicians. To achieve better repair results, the material should not only be bone conductive but also have the ability to stimulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis at the lesion site. Copper (II) and silicon (IV) ions could react to form basic copper silicate, which promoted both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The mineralized diatom (Cu-DBs) loaded with copper (II) ions were synthesized by processing diatom shells using a hydrothermal method. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are used to detect the osteogenic properties of Cu-DBs at the gene and protein levels. Using a rat cranial defect model and a full-thickness skin incision model to test the osteogenic properties of Cu-DBs in vivo. Compared with untreated diatoms (DBs), Cu-DBs extract significantly promoted the expression of osteogenesis-related factors like ALP, RUNX2, BSP, OCN, and OPN in PDLSCs. In vivo experiments further confirmed that Cu-DBs could effectively stimulate the osteogenesis of a rat skull defect and promote angiogenesis, significantly inhibit the inflammatory responses to bone damages, and reduce the infiltration of inflammatory immune cells to the lesion site. Due to the unique chemical characteristics of Si4+ and Cu2+ ions, the Cu-DBs composite biomaterial could enhance the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCS in vitro, as well as stimulate the osteogenesis of the rat in vivo.

Abstract
The present research study assessed the cell viability and cytotoxic effect of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (MTA), Tetric N-Bond Universal bonding agent, Theracal PT (pulpotomy treatment), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as pulp capping agents on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). The cells were isolated from the pulp tissue of an extracted healthy permanent third molar. After four passages in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium, the primary cells were employed for the investigation. The test materials and untreated cells (negative control) were subjected to an Methylthiazol-diphenyl-tetrazolium (MTT) cytotoxicity assay and assessed at 24-, 48-, and 72-h intervals. The Wilcoxon matched-paired t-test and Kruskal−Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA) test were applied (p < 0.05). PRF imparted the highest cell viability at 48 h (p < 0.001), followed by MTA, Theracal PT, and Tetric N-Bond. Similarly, PRF had the highest potential to enhance cell proliferation and differentiation (p < 0.001), followed by Theracal PT, MTA, and the bonding agent at the end of 24 h and 72 h, respectively. Finally, PRF sustained the viability of human primary dental pulp stem cells more effectively than Theracal PT and MTA; however, the application of a Tetric N-Bond as a pulp capping agent was ineffective.

Abstract
The application of bone substitutes to reconstruct bone defects is a strategy for repairing alveolar bone loss caused by periodontal disease. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are attractive synthetic bone substitutes owing to their abilities to degrade, form bone-like mineral and stimulate bone regeneration. Our previous studies showed that the incorporation of fluoride into alkali-free bioactive silicate glass promoted osteogenesis to some extent in vitro, while the incorporation of chloride facilitated glass degradation and accelerated the formation of hydroxyapatite. However, whether there is a synergistic effect of incorporating fluoride and chloride on further enhancement of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo was not known. Therefore, we synthesized three halide-containing BGs with fluoride only, or chloride only, or mixed fluoride and chloride, investigated their physicochemical properties and osteogenic and angiogenic effects both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the addition of both fluoride and chloride in a bioactive silicate glass could combine the structural roles of both, leading to a faster apatite formation than the glass with the presence of fluoride only and a more stable fluorapatite formation than the glass with the presence of chloride only, which formed hydroxyapatite upon immersion. The studied BGs were cytocompatible, as suggested by the cytotoxicity evaluation of hPDLSCs cultivated in the extracted BGs-conditioned culture media. More importantly, these BGs stimulated osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs without adding growth factors as indicated by the fact that BGs-conditioned media up-regulated the expression of BMP-2, OPN and VEGF of hPDLSCs and promoted the formation of bone nodules and collagen in vitro. By comparison, the incorporation of fluoride facilitated the expression of osteogenic-related biomarkers and bone nodule formation preferentially, while the incorporation of chloride induced the expression of angiogenic-related biomarkers and collagen formation. The in vivo investigation results demonstrated that the developed halide-containing BGs accelerated the process of bone regeneration, while the glass with mixed fluoride and chloride showed the most significant promotion effect among the three BGs. Therefore, our findings revealed a synergistic effect of incorporating fluoride and chloride into a BG on osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo and highlighted the potential of fluoride and chloride containing bioactive glasses being bone substitutes for clinical use.

Abstract
Bone injuries and fractures reliably heal through a process of regeneration with restoration to original structure and function when the gap between adjacent sides of a fracture site is small. However, when there is significant volumetric loss of bone, bone regeneration usually does not occur. In the present studies, we explore a particular case of volumetric bone loss in a mouse model of human periodontal disease (PD) in which alveolar bone surrounding teeth is permanently lost and not replaced. This model employs the placement a ligature around the upper second molar for 10 days leading to inflammation and bone breakdown and faithfully replicates the bacterially-induced inflammatory etiology of human PD to induce bone degeneration. After ligature removal, mice are treated with a timed-release formulation of a small molecule inhibitor of prolylhydroxylases (PHDi; 1,4-DPCA) previously shown to induce epimorphic regeneration of soft tissue in non-regenerating mice. This PHDi induces high expression of HIF-1α and is able to shift the metabolic state from OXPHOS to aerobic glycolysis, an energetic state used by stem cells and embryonic tissue. This regenerative response was completely blocked by siHIF1a. In these studies, we show that timed-release 1,4-DPCA rapidly and completely restores PD-affected bone and soft tissue with normal anatomic fidelity and with increased stem cell markers due to site-specific stem cell migration and/or de-differentiation of local tissue, periodontal ligament (PDL) cell proliferation, and increased vascularization. In-vitro studies using gingival tissue show that 1,4-DPCA indeed induces de-differentiation and the expression of stem cell markers but does not exclude the role of migrating stem cells. Evidence of metabolic reprogramming is seen by the expression of not only HIF-1a, its gene targets, and resultant de-differentiation markers, but also the metabolic genes Glut-1, Gapdh, Pdk1, Pgk1 and Ldh-a in jaw periodontal tissue.

Decorin Promotes Osteoblastic Differentiation of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27238224.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the biological functions of decorin (DCN) in the healing and regeneration of wounded periodontal tissue. We investigated the expression pattern of DCN during the healing of wounded periodontal tissue in rats by immunohistochemistry and the effects of DCN on the osteoblastic differentiation of human periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (HPDLSCs) and preosteoblasts by Alizarin red S staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions, and western blotting. The expression of DCN was increased around the wounded PDL tissue on day 5 after surgery compared with the nonwounded PDL tissue, whereas its expression was not changed in the osteoblastic layer around the wounded alveolar bone. Furthermore, DCN promoted the osteoblastic differentiation of HPDLSCs, but it did not affect the osteoblastic differentiation of preosteoblasts. ERK1/2 phosphorylation was upregulated during the DCN-induced osteoblastic differentiation of HPDLSCs. DCN did not affect proliferation, migration, or the PDL-related gene expression of HPDLSCs. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that DCN has a role in the healing of wounded periodontal tissue. Furthermore, DCN secreted from PDL cells may contribute to bone healing by upregulating osteoblastic differentiation through ERK1/2 signaling in HPDLSCs, indicating a therapeutic effect of DCN in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Stem cells exist as normal cells in embryonic and adult tissues. In recent years, scientists have spared efforts to determine the role of stem cells in treating many diseases. Stem cells can self-regenerate and transform into some somatic cells. They would also have a special position in the future in various clinical fields, drug discovery, and other scientific research. Accordingly, the detection of safe and low-cost methods to obtain such cells is one of the main objectives of research. Jaw, face, and mouth tissues are the rich sources of stem cells, which more accessible than other stem cells, so stem cell and tissue engineering treatments in dentistry have received much clinical attention in recent years. This review study examines three essential elements of tissue engineering in dentistry and clinical practice, including stem cells derived from the intra- and extra-oral sources, growth factors, and scaffolds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to explore the effects of mechanical force on the proliferation, apoptosis, and morphology of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous tooth pulp (SHEDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Caries-free stranded deciduous teeth were extracted, and SHEDs were isolated through enzymatic digestion. The cultured SHEDs were subjected to different levels of mechanical stimuli (0, 100, 200, and 300 g) for 7 days (30 min/day) using external centrifugal force. Cell proliferation was evaluated with the CCK-8 assay, and the cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry. The cell morphology was examined using transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS Cell proliferation assay showed no differences between the three stimulation groups and the control group in day 1 to day 3. From the 4th day, cell proliferation was significantly lower in the mechanical force groups than in the control group, but no significant difference was observed among the three mechanical force groups. Besides, there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis among the four groups for 7 days. On day 7 after stimulation, the SHEDs were shrunken, with significantly increased isochromosome in the nucleus and an increase in lysosomes. CONCLUSIONS Mechanical force can inhibit the proliferation and affect morphology of SHEDs, but it has no effect on cell apoptosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Mechanical force stimulation significantly inhibited cell proliferation of SHEDs. Mechanical force stimulation had no significant effect on cell apoptosis of SHEDs. The morphology and ultrastructure of SHEDs changed after mechanical force stimulation.

Abstract
Dental caries is a common disease that not only destroys the rigid structure of the teeth but also causes pulp necrosis in severe cases. Once pulp necrosis has occurred, the most common treatment is to remove the damaged pulp tissue, leading to a loss of tooth vitality and increased tooth fragility. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) isolated from pulp tissue exhibit mesenchymal stem cell-like characteristics and are considered ideal candidates for regenerating damaged dental pulp tissue owing to their multipotency, high proliferation rate, and viability after cryopreservation. Importantly, DPSCs do not elicit an allogeneic immune response because they are non-immunogenic and exhibit potent immunosuppressive properties. Here, we provide an up-to-date review of the clinical applicability and potential of DPSCs, as well as emerging trends in the regeneration of damaged pulp tissue. In addition, we suggest the possibility of using DPSCs as a resource for allogeneic transplantation and provide a perspective for their clinical application in pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammatory stress and apoptosis. This study focused on the effect of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) after LPS induction and its mechanism. We first isolated hPDLSCs from human tooth root samples in vitro. Then, flow cytometry detected positive expression of cell surface antigens CD146 and STRO-1 and negative expression of CD45, suggesting the hPDLSCs were successfully isolated. LPS significantly induced increased apoptosis and diminished proliferation of hPDLSCs. The NF-κB pathway agonist phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or p65 overexpression inhibited the proliferation of LPS-treated hPDLSCs and promoted apoptosis. PMA also promoted LPS-induced up-regulation of the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 and down-regulation of the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10. Additionally, LPS was confirmed to lead to a reduction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium nodules, and expression of osteogenic markers Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteopontin. This reduction could be promoted by PMA. Western blotting further indicated that PMA could promote LPS-induced decrease of expression of p65 (cytoplasm), and total cellular proteins IKKα and IKKβ in hPDLSCs, while protein expression of p-IκBα (cytoplasm) and p65 (nucleus), and p-IκBα/IκBα ratio was elevated. By contrast, inhibition of the NF-κB pathway (PDTC) or small-interfering RNA targeting NF-κB/p65 (p65 siRNA) showed the opposite results. In conclusion, activation of NF-κB signaling in LPS-induced inflammatory environment can inhibit the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. This study provides a theory foundation for the clinical treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA, control the translation of messenger RNAs into proteins. miRNAs have a crucial role in regulating the diverse biological processes of many physiological and pathological activities. The aim of this systematic review is to explore various functions of miRNAs in the regulation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) behavior. METHODS The articles were searched in PubMed, SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science database using designated keywords. Full-length manuscripts published in English in peer-reviewed journals relevant to the role of miRNAs in DPSC functions were included and reviewed by 2 independent researchers. RESULTS The original search of the database generated 299 studies. One hundred and two duplicate studies were removed. After their exclusion, 48 studies were selected for review. miRNAs have shown to modulate the stemness and differentiation of various mesenchymal stem cells. The miRNAs expression profiles in DPSCs were differed compared with other cell types and have been demonstrated to regulate the levels of proteins crucial for promoting or inhibiting DPSC proliferation as well as differentiation. Further, miRNAs also modulate inflammatory processes in dental pulp. CONCLUSION miRNAs have various function upon the regulation of DPSCs and understanding these roles of miRNAs is crucial for the development of new therapeutics in regenerative dental medicine. With the advancing technologies, the utilization of miRNA technology could revolutionarily change the future of regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells play a pivotal role in periodontal and bone homeostasis and have promising potential for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. There is compelling evidence that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are differentially expressed in PDL cells compared to other cell types and that these lncRNAs are involved in a variety of biological processes. This study systematically reviews the current evidence regarding the expression and regulatory functions of lncRNAs in PDL cells during various biological processes. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, the Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar to include articles published up to 1 July 2021. Original research articles that investigated the expression or regulation of lncRNAs in PDL cells were selected and evaluated for a systematic review. Fifty studies were ultimately included, based on our eligibility criteria. Thirteen of these studies broadly explored the expression profiles of lncRNAs in PDL cells using microarray or RNA sequencing. Nineteen studies investigated the mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate osteogenic differentiation in PDL cells. The remaining 18 studies investigated the mechanism by which lncRNAs regulate the responses of PDL cells to various stimuli, namely, lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation, tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced inflammation, mechanical stress, oxidative stress, or hypoxia. We systematically reviewed studies on the expression and regulatory roles of lncRNAs in diverse biological processes in PDL cells, including osteogenic differentiation and cellular responses to inflammation, mechanical stress, and other stimuli. These results provide new insights that may guide the development of lncRNA-based therapeutics for periodontal and bone regeneration.

Abstract
The prognosis of rheumatic diseases is generally better than that of malignant diseases. However, some cases with poor prognoses resist conventional therapies and cause irreversible functional and organ damage. In recent years, there has been much research on regenerative medicine, which uses stem cells to restore the function of missing or dysfunctional tissues and organs. The development of regenerative medicine is also being attempted in rheumatic diseases. In diseases such as systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been attempted to correct and reconstruct abnormalities in the immune system. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have also been tried for the treatment of refractory skin ulcers in SSc using the ability of MSCs to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells and for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus SLE using the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs. CD34-positive endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are found in the mononuclear cell fraction of bone marrow and peripheral blood, can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells at the site of ischemia. Therefore, EPCs have been used in research on vascular regeneration therapy for patients with severe lower limb ischemia caused by rheumatic diseases such as SSc. Since the first report of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2007, research on regenerative medicine using iPSCs has been actively conducted, and their application to rheumatic diseases is expected. However, there are many safety issues and bioethical issues involved in regenerative medicine research, and it is essential to resolve these issues for practical application and spread of regenerative medicine in the future. The environment surrounding regenerative medicine research is changing drastically, and the required expertise is becoming higher. This paper outlines the current status and challenges of regenerative medicine in rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
Background/purpose SHED and DPSC have stem cell regenerative potential, but comparative research on their cytokine profile is rare. This study aimed to investigate and compare cytokine profiles secreted from stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Materials and methods SHED-conditioned medium (CM) and DPSC-CM were extracted using seven primary and permanent teeth each. Cytokine membrane array was performed for each CM to quantify and compare the secretomes of 120 cytokines. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry analysis were performed to demonstrate cytokine membrane array analysis. Results Significant differences were observed in the expression levels of 68 cytokines–27 and 41 cytokines were 1.3-fold more strongly expressed in SHED-CM and DPSC-CM, respectively. Cytokines involved in immunomodulation, odontogenesis and osteogenesis were more strongly expressed in SHED-CM. Cytokines involved in angiogenesis were detected more strongly in DPSCs-CM. SHED and DPSCs have distinctive cytokine profiles and characteristics in terms of their stem cell regenerative potential. Conclusion These observations suggest that SHED may have a better cytokine profile related to inflammatory, proliferative, osteogenic, and odontogenic potential.

Abstract
One of the most exciting advances in life science research is the development of 3D cell culture systems to obtain complex structures called organoids and spheroids. These 3D cultures closely mimic in vivo conditions, where cells can grow and interact with their surroundings. This allows us to better study the spatio-temporal dynamics of organogenesis and organ function. Furthermore, physiologically relevant organoids cultures can be used for basic research, medical research, and drug discovery. Although most of the research thus far focuses on the development of heart, liver, kidney, and brain organoids, to name a few, most recently, these structures were obtained using dental stem cells to study in vitro tooth regeneration. This review aims to present the most up-to-date research showing how dental stem cells can be grown on specific biomaterials to induce their differentiation in 3D. The possibility of combining engineering and biology principles to replicate and/or increase tissue function has been an emerging and exciting field in medicine. The use of this methodology in dentistry has already yielded many interesting results paving the way for the improvement of dental care and successful therapies.

Abstract
Objectives: Dental tissues possess multipotent stem cells with varying biological properties. The present study was aimed to establish a primary culture of human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and periodontal ligament-derived stem cells (PDLSCs) from periodontally healthy subjects and compare their biological characteristics. Materials and Methods: Gingival and periodontal ligament (PDL) tissues were collected from extracted premolar teeth of five healthy subjects and primary cultures were established. Basic biological characteristics, such as cell morphology, viability, proliferation capacity, and colony-forming units, and in vitro osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential were performed at passage 3 of GMSCs and PDLSCs. This was followed by immuno-phenotyping and flow cytometric analysis for identification of positive mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers, such as CD73, CD90, and CD105, and negative markers CD45 and CD34. Statistical Analysis Used: One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Primary cultures of GMSCs and PDLSCs were successfully established. Cells exhibited a fibroblast-like morphology with a homogeneous population at passage 3. Cells derived from both tissues were highly viable (>95%), proliferative, and capable of forming colonies. Both cells did not exhibit any noticeable differences in cellular properties. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analyses showed positivity for MSC markers, CD73, CD90, and CD105, and negativity for CD34 and CD45. Furthermore, GMSCs and PDLSCs were capable of differentiating in vitro into osteocytes as evidenced by Alizarin red-S staining, and adipocytes as demonstrated by oil red O staining. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that both GMSCs and PDLSCs have similar cellular characteristics and mesenchymal differentiation potential. Therefore, they may serve as an equally potent source of stem cells for use in cell-based periodontal therapies.

Abstract
Diabetic erectile dysfunction (DED) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, significantly impairing the quality of life of patients. The conventional clinical treatment still has limitations. Stem cells (SCs), as a type of cells with multidirectional or directional differentiation capability and sustainable self-renewal potential, are widely used in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. With the continuous update of regenerative medicine theory and the success of animal experiments, SCs as a treatment for male erectile dysfunction, especially DED, have attracted widespread attention because of curable possibility. This review focus on the current progress in the clinical application of SC treatment for DED. Moreover, we summarize the development prospects of SCs in the field of DMED therapy.

Abstract
Ectomesenchymal stem cells derived from the dental pulp are of neural crest origin, and as such are promising sources for cell therapy and tissue engineering. For safe upscaling of these cells, microcarrier-based culturing under dynamic conditions is a promising technology. We tested the suitability of two microcarriers, non-porous Cytodex 1 and porous Cytopore 2, for culturing well characterized dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) using a shake flask system. Human DPSCs were cultured on these microcarriers in 96-well plates, and further expanded in shake flasks for upscaling experiments. Cell viability was measured using the alamarBlue assay, while cell morphology was observed by conventional and two-photon microscopies. Glucose consumption of cells was detected by the glucose oxidase/Clark-electrode method. DPSCs adhered to and grew well on both microcarrier surfaces and were also found in the pores of the Cytopore 2. Cells grown in tissue culture plates (static, non-shaking conditions) yielded 7 × 105 cells/well. In shake flasks, static preincubation promoted cell adhesion to the microcarriers. Under dynamic culture conditions (shaking) 3 × 107 cells were obtained in shake flasks. The DPSCs exhausted their glucose supply from the medium by day seven even with partial batch-feeding. In conclusion, both non-porous and porous microcarriers are suitable for upscaling ectomesenchymal DPSCs under dynamic culture conditions.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have shown promising characteristics in terms of their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potential, which could be of greater benefit in regenerative dentistry. However, obstacles remain in the in vitro cultivation of DPSCs, which significantly affect their growth and differentiating ability. Therefore in this study, we demonstrated the growth and osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in the presence of media containing different combinations of serum and glucose to get an optimized combination of both. DPSCs were cultured in media containing combinations of low glucose (LG), low serum (LS), high glucose (HG), and high serum (HS). The proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were assessed in DPSCs cultured with these different combinations of culture conditions. High glucose high serum condition significantly inhibited the proliferation of DPSCs and also affected their clonogenic potential, as evidenced by colony-forming units. Irrespective of the serum content, high glucose in the media also decreased the osteogenic potential of DPSCs confirmed by functional staining, and downregulation of osteogenesis-related genes. High glucose content in the culture media affects the growth and differentiation potential of the DPSCs. Hence, the culture conditions for the DPSCs should be reconsidered to utilize their maximum potential.

Abstract
The fields of regenerative medicine and stem cell-based tissue engineering have the potential of treating numerous tissue and organ defects. The use of adult stem cells is of particular interest when it comes to dynamic applications in translational medicine. Recently, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have been traced in third molars of adult humans. DPSCs have been isolated and characterized by several groups. DPSCs have promising characteristics including self-renewal capacity, rapid proliferation, colony formation, multi-lineage differentiation, and pluripotent gene expression profile. Nevertheless, genotypic, and phenotypic heterogeneities have been reported for DPSCs subpopulations which may influence their therapeutic potentials. The underlying causes of DPSCs’ heterogeneity remain poorly understood; however, their heterogeneity emerges as a consequence of an interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic cellular factors. The main objective of the manuscript is to review the current literature related to the human DPSCs derived from the third molar, with a focus on their physiological properties, isolation procedures, culture conditions, self-renewal, proliferation, lineage differentiation capacities and their prospective advances use in pre-clinical and clinical applications.

Abstract
The dentin-pulp complex is a unique structure in teeth that contains both hard and soft tissues. Generally, deep caries and trauma cause damage to the dentin-pulp complex, and if left untreated, this damage will progress to irreversible pulpitis. The aim of this study was to fabricate a layered cell sheet composed of rat dental pulp (DP) cells and odontogenic differentiation of pulp (OD) cells and to investigate the ability to regenerate the dentin-pulp complex in a scaffold tooth. We fabricated two single cell sheets composed of DP cells (DP cell sheet) or OD cells (OD cell sheet) and a layered cell sheet made by layering both cells. The characteristics of the fabricated cell sheets were analyzed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Furthermore, the cell sheets were transplanted into the subrenal capsule of immunocompromised mice for 8 weeks. After this, the regenerative capacity to form dentin-like tissue was evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), HE staining, and IHC. The findings of SEM and IHC confirmed that layered cell sheets fabricated by stacking OD cells and DP cells maintained their cytological characteristics. Micro-CT of layered cell sheet transplants revealed a mineralized capping of the access cavity in the crown area, similar to that of natural dentin. In contrast, the OD cell sheet group demonstrated the formation of irregular fragments of mineralized tissue in the pulp cavity, and the DP cell sheet did not develop any hard tissue. Moreover, bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) showed a significant increase in hard tissue formation in the layered cell sheet group compared with that in the single cell sheet group (p < 0.05). HE staining also showed a combination of soft and hard tissue formation in the layered cell sheet group. Furthermore, IHC confirmed that the dentin-like tissue generated from the layered cell sheet expressed characteristic markers of dentin but not bone equivalent to that of a natural tooth. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the feasibility of regenerating dentin-pulp complex using a bioengineered tissue designed to simulate the anatomical structure. Impact statement The dentin-pulp complex can be destroyed by deep caries and trauma, which may cause pulpitis and progress to irreversible pulpitis, apical periodontitis, and even tooth loss. Current treatments cannot maintain pulp health, and teeth can become brittle. We developed a three-dimensional (3D) layered cell sheet using dental pulp cells and odontogenic differentiation of pulp cells for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. Our layered cell sheet enables the regeneration of an organized 3D dentin-pulp-like structure comparable with that of natural teeth. This layered cell sheet technology may contribute to dentin-pulp complex regeneration and provide a novel method for complex tissue engineering.

Abstract
The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for regenerative purposes has become common in a large variety of diseases. In the dental and maxillofacial field, there are emerging clinical needs that could benefit from MSC-based therapeutic approaches. Even though MSCs can be isolated from different tissues, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, etc., and are known for their multilineage differentiation, their different anatomical origin can affect the capability to differentiate into a specific tissue. For instance, MSCs isolated from the oral cavity might be more effective than adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) for the treatment of dental defects. Indeed, in the oral cavity, there are different sources of MSCs that have been individually proposed as promising candidates for tissue engineering protocols. The therapeutic strategy based on MSCs can be direct, by using cells as components of the tissue to be regenerated, or indirect, aimed at delivering local growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines produced by the MSCs. Here, the authors outline the major sources of mesenchymal stem cells attainable from the oral cavity and discuss their possible usage in some of the most compelling therapeutic frontiers, such as periodontal disease and dental pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Inflammatory periodontal disease known as periodontitis is one of the most common conditions that affect human teeth and often leads to tooth loss. Due to the complexity of the periodontium, which is composed of several tissues, its regeneration and subsequent return to a homeostatic state is challenging with the therapies currently available. Cellular therapy is increasingly becoming an alternative in regenerative medicine/dentistry, especially therapies using mesenchymal stem cells, as they can be isolated from a myriad of tissues. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are probably the most adequate to be used as a cell source with the aim of regenerating the periodontium. Biological insights have also highlighted PDLSCs as promising immunomodulator agents. In this review, we explore the state of knowledge regarding the properties of PDLSCs, as well as their therapeutic potential, describing current and future clinical applications based on tissue engineering techniques.

Abstract
Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are considered a type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) because of their unique origin from the neural crest. SHEDs can self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation with the ability to differentiate into odontoblasts, osteoblast, chondrocytes, neuronal cells, hepatocytes, adipocytes, etc. They are emerging as an ideal source of MSCs because of their easy availability and extraordinary cell number. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, has many cell-based applications, such as bone regeneration, osteoblastic differentiation, or extracellular matrix production. It also impacts stem cell plasticity and the ability to sustain pluripotent activity. In this study, we evaluate the effects of ascorbic acid on stemness, paracrine secretion, and differentiation into osteoblast, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. SHEDs displayed enhanced multifaceted activity, which may have applications in regenerative therapy.

Abstract
A plethora of both acute and chronic conditions, including traumatic, degenerative, malignant, or congenital disorders, commonly induce bone disorders often associated with severe persisting pain and limited mobility. Over 1 million surgical procedures involving bone excision, bone grafting, and fracture repair are performed each year in the U.S. alone, resulting in immense levels of public health challenges and corresponding financial burdens. Unfortunately, the innate self-healing capacity of bone is often inadequate for larger defects over a critical size. Moreover, as direct transplantation of committed osteoblasts is hindered by deficient cell availability, limited cell spreading, and poor survivability, an urgent need for novel cell sources for bone regeneration is concurrent. Thanks to the development in stem cell biology and cell reprogramming technology, many multipotent and pluripotent cells that manifest promising osteogenic potential are considered the regenerative remedy for bone defects. Considering these cells' investigation is still in its relative infancy, each of them offers their own particular challenges that must be conquered before the large-scale clinical application.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) have well documented osteogenic potential; however, this commitment can be highly heterogenous, limiting their applications in tissue regeneration. In this study, we use PDLC populations characterized by high and low osteogenic potential (h-PDLCs and l-PDLCs, respectively) to identify possible sources of such heterogeneity and to investigate whether the osteogenic differentiation can be enhanced by epigenetic modulation. In h-PDLCs, low basal expression levels of pluripotency markers (NANOG, OCT4), DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1, DNMT3B), and enzymes involved in active DNA demethylation (TET1, TET3) were prerequisite to high osteogenic potential. Furthermore, these genes were downregulated upon early osteogenesis, possibly allowing for the increase in expression of the key osteogenic transcription factors, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and SP7, and ultimately, mineral nodule formation. l-PDLCs appeared locked in the multipotent state and this was further enhanced upon early osteogenic stimulation, correlating with low RUNX2 expression and impaired mineralization. Further upregulation of DNMTs was also evident, while pretreatment with RG108, the DNMTs' inhibitor, enhanced the osteogenic program in l-PDLCs through downregulation of DNMTs, increased RUNX2 expression and nuclear localization, accelerated expression of osteogenic markers, and increased mineralization. These findings point toward the role of DNMTs and Ten Eleven Translocations (TETs) in osteogenic commitment and support application of epigenetic approaches to modulate biomineralization in PDLCs.

Stem Cell-based Dental Pulp Regeneration: Insights From Signaling Pathways. Stem Cell Rev Rep 2021; 17:1251-1263.

Abstract
Deep caries, trauma, and severe periodontitis result in pulpitis, pulp necrosis, and eventually pulp loss. However, no clinical therapy can regenerate lost pulp. A novel pulp regeneration strategy for clinical application is urgently needed. Signaling transduction plays an essential role in regulating the regenerative potentials of dental stem cells. Cytokines or growth factors, such as stromal cell-derived factor (SDF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), WNT, can promote the migration, proliferation, odontogenic differentiation, pro-angiogenesis, and pro-neurogenesis potentials of dental stem cells respectively. Using the methods of signaling modulation including growth factors delivery, genetic modification, and physical stimulation has been applied in multiple preclinical studies of pulp regeneration based on cell transplantation or cell homing. Transplanting dental stem cells and growth factors encapsulated into scaffold regenerated vascularized pulp-like tissue in the root canal. Also, injecting a flowable scaffold only with chemokines recruited endogenous stem/progenitor cells for pulp regeneration. Notably, dental pulp regeneration has gradually developed into the clinical phase. These findings enlightened us on a novel strategy for structural and functional pulp regeneration through elaborate modulation of signaling transduction spatially and temporally via clinically applicable growth factors delivery. But challenges, such as the adverse effects of unphysiological signaling activation, the controlled drug release system, and the safety of gene modulation, are necessary to be tested in future works for promoting the clinical translation of pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Stem cells isolated from patients with rare diseases are important to elucidate their pathogeny and mechanisms to enable regenerative therapy. However, the mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration using patient‐derived dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are unclear. In this study, we investigated the levels of mRNA and protein expression related to cellular differentiation of Crouzon syndrome patient‐derived DPSCs (CS‐DPSCs) with a Gly338Arg fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 mutation. Multipotency‐related gene expression levels were equivalent in both healthy donor DPSCs and CS‐DPSCs. CS‐DPSCs showed higher osteocalcin (OCN) expression than healthy donor DPSCs. CS‐DPSCs showed a lower increase in the rate of OCN expression among phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA)‐treated cells than healthy donor DPSCs compared with untreated control cells. CS‐DPSCs showed a lower phosphorylation rate of p38 and p44/42 in PMA‐treated cells than healthy donor DPSCs compared with untreated control cells. These results demonstrate that CS‐DPSCs have higher OCN expression and lower PMA stimulation‐responsiveness than healthy donor DPSCs.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on the proliferation and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) as a surrogate cell source in futuristic stem-cell-based endodontic therapies. Human Ad-MSCs and mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) were isolated from liposuction waste adipose tissue and femur, respectively, and the effects of MTA-conditioned media on their viability, mineralization potential, and osteo/odontogenic differentiation capacity were subsequently evaluated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, quantitative alizarin red S staining, and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses were performed to investigate and compare the osteo/odontogenic induction potential of MTA on the Ad/BM-MSCs. The results of cytotoxicity assay revealed that at different concentrations, MTA-conditioned medium was not only biocompatible toward both cell types, but also capable of promoting cell proliferation. ALP activity assay showed that 0.2 mg/mL was the optimal concentration of MTA-conditioned medium for osteo/odontogenic induction in Ad/BM-MSCs. The expression of osteo/odontogenic gene markers was increased in Ad/BM-MSCs treated with 0.2 mg/mL MTA-conditioned media. Our results indicated that MTA can efficiently enhance the osteo/odontogenic potential of Ad-MSCs, and thus they can be considered as a better cell source for dentin-pulp complex regeneration. However, further investigations are required to test these potentials in animal models.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) regulates wound healing/regeneration and aging processes. Dental pulp stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are cell sources for treatment of age-related disorders. We studied the effect of TGF-β1 on SHED and related signaling. SHED were treated with TGF-β1 with/without pretreatment/co-incubation by SB431542, U0126, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol or SB203580. Sircol collagen assay, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay, RT-PCR, western blotting and PathScan phospho-ELISA were used to measure the effects. We found that SHED expressed ALK1, ALK3, ALK5, TGF-RII, betaglycan and endoglin mRNA. TGF-β1 stimulated p-Smad2, p-TAK1, p-ERK, p-p38 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein expression. It enhanced proliferation and collagen content of SHED that were attenuated by SB431542, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol and SB203580, but not U0126. TGF-β1 (0.5-1 ng/ml) stimulated ALP of SHED, whereas 5-10 ng/ml TGF-β1 suppressed ALP. SB431542 reversed the effects of TGF-β1. However, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol, SB203580 and U0126 only reversed the stimulatory effect of TGF-β1 on ALP. Four inhibitors attenuated TGF-β1-induced COX-2 expression. TGF-β1-stimulated TIMP-1 and N-cadherin was inhibited by SB431542 and 5Z-7-oxozeaenol. These results indicate that TGF-β1 affects SHED by differential regulation of ALK5/Smad2/3, TAK1, p38 and MEK/ERK. TGF-β1 and SHED could potentially be used for tissue engineering/regeneration and treatment of age-related diseases.

Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) therapy in osteoarthritis has been hailed as a promising treatment for osteoarthritis due to their unlimited potential of healing and regeneration. Existing literature regarding their proper name, optimal sources, mechanisms of action, dosage, and route of administration, efficacy, and safety is debatable. This index review article has tried to connect these puzzling pieces of available information and brought clarity on some of these crucial issues. The author believes that Maintenance Stem Cells (MSC) may be a more suitable term than mesenchymal stem cell or medicinal signaling cells as their origin might not be limited to mesodermal tissue. Also, they have been shown capable of self-renewal, differentiation, and maintaining a cascade of healing & possibly regeneration at the implanted site. Only a small percentage of implanted MSC survive and rest undergo apoptosis after releasing growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles. These surviving MSC become active due to conformational changes induced by anti-environment stimuli and undergo limited self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation, but only a few of them might incorporate into the host tissues. These cells generate & maintain a momentum of series of regenerative activities to improve the function of joint, stabilize or possibly enhance the cartilage quality. More randomized studies with long term follow-up are required to bring clarity on their ideal source, expansion, culture technique, optimum dosage, and route of administration and long-term safety issues.

Abstract
Background/purpose PDLSCs (periodontal ligament stem cells), derived from dental tissues, are candidate cells for regeneration of dental tissues. MiRNAs could regulate osteogenic differentiation and the transformation into osteoblasts. This study was conducted to figure out how miR-184 regulates osteoblastic differentiation in PDLSCs. Materials and methods PDLSCs were isolated from premolars, and the osteoblastic differentiation was validated via Alizarin red staining and determination of ALP (alkaline phosphatase) activity. Expression of osteogenic specific genes were evaluated by western blot, and the expression pattern of miR-184 was determined by qRT-PCR. Target gene of miR-184 was then verified by dual luciferase reporter assay. Results Osteogenic-induced PDLSCs were successfully established with increased mineral deposition, ALP activity and protein expression of RUNX2 (runt-related transcription factor 2), osterix and BSP (bone sialoprotein). MiR-184 was reduced during osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs, and over-expression of miR-184 suppressed osteoblastic differentiation, as evidenced by reduction in mineral deposition, ALP activity and protein expression of RUNX2, osterix and BSP. MiR-184 could target NFI-C (nuclear factor I-C), and inhibit NFI-C expression in PDLSCs. NFI-C was enhanced during osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs, suggesting negative correlation with miR-184. Forced NFI-C expression promoted osteoblastic differentiation, and counteracted with the suppressive effects of miR-184 on osteoblastic differentiation. Conclusion Downregulation of miR-184 facilitates osteoblastic differentiation in PDLSCs by modulating NFI-C, providing novel therapeutic strategy for regeneration of dental tissues.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials for hard and soft tissues have advanced in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in dentistry. To examine these recent advances, we searched Medline (OVID) with the key terms “biomimetics”, “biomaterials”, and “biomimicry” combined with MeSH terms for “dentistry” and limited the date of publication between 2010–2020. Over 500 articles were obtained under clinical trials, randomized clinical trials, metanalysis, and systematic reviews developed in the past 10 years in three major areas of dentistry: restorative, orofacial surgery, and periodontics. Clinical studies and systematic reviews along with hand-searched preclinical studies as potential therapies have been included. They support the proof-of-concept that novel treatments are in the pipeline towards ground-breaking clinical therapies for orofacial bone regeneration, tooth regeneration, repair of the oral mucosa, periodontal tissue engineering, and dental implants. Biomimicry enhances the clinical outcomes and calls for an interdisciplinary approach integrating medicine, bioengineering, biotechnology, and computational sciences to advance the current research to clinics. We conclude that dentistry has come a long way apropos of regenerative medicine; still, there are vast avenues to endeavour, seeking inspiration from other facets in biomedical research.

Dental Pulp Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Treatment for Periodontal Disease in Older Adults. Stem Cells Int 2020; 2020:8890873.

Abstract
Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the main causes of tooth loss and is related to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Although different treatments have been proposed in the past, the vast majority do not regenerate lost tissues. In this sense, the use of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DPMSCs) seems to be an alternative for the regeneration of periodontal bone tissue. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a sample of 22 adults between 55 and 64 years of age with PD, without uncontrolled systemic chronic diseases. Two groups were formed randomly: (i) experimental group (EG) n = 11, with a treatment based on DPMSCs; and a (ii) control group (CG) n = 11, without a treatment of DPMSCs. Every participant underwent clinical and radiological evaluations and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by tomography. Saliva samples were taken as well, to determine the total concentration of antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipoperoxides, and interleukins (IL), before and 6 months after treatment. All subjects underwent curettage and periodontal surgery, the EG had a collagen scaffold treated with DPMSCs, while the CG only had the collagen scaffold placed. The EG with DPMSCs showed an increase in the BMD of the alveolar bone with a borderline statistical significance (baseline 638.82 ± 181.7 vs. posttreatment 781.26 ± 162.2 HU, p = 0.09). Regarding oxidative stress and inflammation markers, salivary SOD levels were significantly higher in EG (baseline 1.49 ± 0.96 vs. 2.14 ± 1.12 U/L posttreatment, p < 0.05) meanwhile IL1β levels had a decrease (baseline 1001.91 ± 675.5vs. posttreatment 722.3 ± 349.4 pg/ml, p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that a DPMSCs treatment based on DPMSCs has both an effect on bone regeneration linked to an increased SOD and decreased levels of IL1β in aging subjects with PD.

Abstract
The dental pulp, a non-mineralized connective tissue uniquely encased within the cavity of the tooth, provides a niche for diverse arrays of dental mesenchymal stem cells. Stem cells in the dental pulp, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) and stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs), have been isolated from human tissues with an emphasis on their potential application to regenerative therapies. Recent studies utilizing mouse genetic models shed light on the identities of these mesenchymal progenitor cells derived from neural crest cells (NCCs) in their native conditions, particularly regarding how they contribute to homeostasis and repair of the dental tissue. The current concept is that at least two distinct niches for stem cells exist in the dental pulp, e.g., the perivascular niche and the perineural niche. The precise identities of these stem cells and their niches are now beginning to be unraveled thanks to sophisticated mouse genetic models, which lead to better understanding of the fundamental properties of stem cells in the dental pulp and the apical papilla in humans. The new knowledge will be highly instrumental for developing more effective stem cell-based regenerative therapies to repair teeth in the future.

Abstract
Within the mandible, the odontogenic and osteogenic mesenchymes develop in a close proximity and form at about the same time. They both originate from the cranial neural crest. These two condensing ecto-mesenchymes are soon separated from each other by a very loose interstitial mesenchyme, whose cells do not express markers suggesting a neural crest origin. The two condensations give rise to mineralized tissues while the loose interstitial mesenchyme, remains as a soft tissue. This is crucial for proper anchorage of mammalian teeth. The situation in all three regions of the mesenchyme was compared with regard to cell heterogeneity. As the development progresses, the early phenotypic differences and the complexity in cell heterogeneity increases. The differences reported here and their evolution during development progressively specifies each of the three compartments. The aim of this review was to discuss the mechanisms underlying condensation in both the odontogenic and osteogenic compartments as well as the progressive differentiation of all three mesenchymes during development. Very early, they show physical and structural differences including cell density, shape and organization as well as the secretion of three distinct matrices, two of which will mineralize. Based on these data, this review highlights the consecutive differences in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, which support the cohesion as well as mechanosensing and mechanotransduction. These are involved in the conversion of mechanical energy into biochemical signals, cytoskeletal rearrangements cell differentiation, or collective cell behavior.
