Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been widely used in the periodontal treatment of intrabony and furcation defects for nearly four decades. The treatment outcomes have shown effectiveness in reducing pocket depth, improving attachment gain and bone filling in periodontal tissue. Although applying GTR could reconstruct the periodontal tissue, the surgical indications are relatively narrow, and some complications and race ethic problems bring new challenges. Therefore, it is challenging to achieve a consensus concerning the clinical benefits of GTR. With the appearance of stem cell-based regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been considered a promising cell resource for periodontal regeneration. In this review, we highlight preclinical and clinical periodontal regeneration using MSCs derived from distinct origins, including non-odontogenic and odontogenic tissues and induced pluripotent stem cells, and discuss the transplantation procedures, therapeutic mechanisms, and concerns to evaluate the effectiveness of MSCs.

Periodontal tissue regeneration with cementogenesis after application of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in 3-wall inflamed intra-bony defect. J Periodontal Res 2024; 59:530-541. [PMID: 38501357 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13244] [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: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to investigate regenerative process by immunohistochemical analysis and evaluate periodontal tissue regeneration following a topical application of BDNF to inflamed 3-wall intra-bony defects. BACKGROUND Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in the survival and differentiation of central and peripheral neurons. BDNF can regulate the functions of non-neural cells, osteoblasts, periodontal ligament cells, endothelial cells, as well as neural cells. Our previous study showed that a topical application of BDNF enhances periodontal tissue regeneration in experimental periodontal defects of dog and that BDNF stimulates the expression of bone (cementum)-related proteins and proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells. METHODS Six weeks after extraction of mandibular first and third premolars, 3-wall intra-bony defects were created in mandibular second and fourth premolars of beagle dogs. Impression material was placed in all of the artificial defects to induce inflammation. Two weeks after the first operation, BDNF (25 and 50 μg/mL) immersed into atelocollagen sponge was applied to the defects. As a control, only atelocollagen sponge immersed in saline was applied. Two and four weeks after the BDNF application, morphometric analysis was performed. Localizations of osteopontin (OPN) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-positive cells were evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Two weeks after application of BDNF, periodontal tissue was partially regenerated. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that cells on the denuded root surface were positive with OPN and PCNA. PCNA-positive cells were also detected in the soft connective tissue of regenerating periodontal tissue. Four weeks after application of BDNF, the periodontal defects were regenerated with cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Along the root surface, abundant OPN-positive cells were observed. Morphometric analyses revealed that percentage of new cementum length and percentage of new bone area of experimental groups were higher than control group and dose-dependently increased. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that BDNF could induce cementum regeneration in early regenerative phase by stimulating proliferation of periodontal ligament cells and differentiation into periodontal tissue cells, resulting in enhancement of periodontal tissue regeneration in inflamed 3-wall intra-bony defects.

Orally Derived Stem Cell-Based Therapy in Periodontal Regeneration: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Studies. Dent J (Basel) 2024; 12:145. [PMID: 38786543 PMCID: PMC11120617 DOI: 10.3390/dj12050145] [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: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The present systematic review was performed to assess the application of orally derived stem cells in periodontal regenerative therapy, and because of this, the following PICO question was proposed: "In patients with periodontitis, can the adjunctive use of orally derived stem cells provide additional clinical and radiographic benefits for periodontal regeneration?". Randomized clinical studies were electronically and manually searched up until December 2023. Quantitative analyses were performed with the aim of evaluating the mean differences (MDs) between the treatment and control groups in terms of clinical attachment level (CAL) gain, probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, gingival recession (GR), and radiographic bone gain (RBG) using random effect models. A total of seven studies were selected for the systematic review. Meta-analyses excluding studies with a high risk of bias highlighted a non-statistically significant result for the use of stem cells when compared to the control groups in terms of CAL gain [MD = 1.05; 95% CI (-0.88, 2.97) p = 0.29] and PPD reduction [MD = 1.32; 95% CI (-0.25, 2.88) p = 0.10]. The same also applied to GR [MD = -0.08; 95% CI (-0.79, 0.63) p = 0.83] and RBG [MD = 0.50; 95% CI (-0.88, 1.88) p = 0.48]. Based on the high heterogeneity, there is not enough evidence to consider the adjunctive application of orally derived mesenchymal stem cells as a preferential approach for periodontal regenerative treatment, as compared to standard procedures.

Abstract
In recent years, research on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) derived from human umbilical cord tissue has accelerated and entered clinical application research. Compared with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from other sources, hUCMSCs can be extracted from different parts of umbilical cord or from the whole umbilical cord. It has the characteristics of less ethical controversy, high differentiation potential, strong proliferation ability, efficient expansion in vitro, avoiding immune rejection and immune privilege, and avoids the limitations of lack of embryonic stem cells, heterogeneity, ethical and moral constraints. hUCMSCs avoid the need for embryonic stem cell sources, heterogeneity, and ethical and moral constraints. Bone defects are very common in clinical practice, but completely effective bone tissue regeneration treatment is challenging. Currently, autologous bone transplantation and allogeneic bone transplantation are main treatment approaches in clinical work, but each has different shortcomings, such as limited sources, invasiveness, immune rejection and insufficient osteogenic ability. Therefore, to solve the bottleneck of bone tissue regeneration and repair, a great amount of research has been carried out to explore the clinical advantages of hUCMSCs as seed cells to promote osteogenesis.However, the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs is an extremely complex process. Although a large number of studies have demonstrated that the role of hUCMSCs in enhancing local bone regeneration and repair through osteogenic differentiation and transplantation into the body involves multiple signaling pathways, there is no relevant article that summarize the findings. This article discusses the osteogenesis-related regulatory mechanisms of hUCMSCs, summarizes the currently known related mechanisms, and speculates on the possible signals.

Regulation of osteogenesis in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells via histone deacetylase 1 and 2 co-cultured with human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells. J Periodontal Res 2023; 58:83-96. [PMID: 36346011 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the regulatory mechanism of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) differentiation mediated by humoral factors derived from human periodontal ligament (HPL) cells and human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). We analyzed histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression and activity involved in BM-MSC differentiation and determined their regulatory effects in co-cultures of BM-MSCs with HPL cells or HGFs. BACKGROUND BM-MSCs can differentiate into various cell types and can, thus, be used in periodontal regenerative therapy. However, the mechanism underlying their differentiation remains unclear. Transplanted BM-MSCs are affected by periodontal cells via direct contact or secretion of humoral factors. Therefore, their activity is regulated by humoral factors derived from HPL cells or HGFs. METHODS BM-MSCs were indirectly co-cultured with HPL cells or HGFs under osteogenic or growth conditions and then analyzed for osteogenesis, HDAC1 and HDAC2 expression and activity, and histone H3 acetylation. BM-MSCs were treated with trichostatin A, or their HDAC1 or HDAC2 expression was silenced or overexpressed during osteogenesis. Subsequently, they were evaluated for osteogenesis or the effects of HDAC activity. RESULTS BM-MSCs co-cultured with HPL cells or HGFs showed suppressed osteogenesis, HDAC1 and HDAC2 expression, and HDAC phosphorylation; however, histone H3 acetylation was enhanced. Trichostatin A treatment remarkably suppressed osteogenesis, decreasing HDAC expression and enhancing histone H3 acetylation. HDAC1 and HDAC2 silencing negatively regulated osteogenesis in BM-MSCs to the same extent as that achieved by indirect co-culture with HPL cells or HGFs. Conversely, their overexpression positively regulated osteogenesis in BM-MSCs. CONCLUSION The suppressive effects of HPL cells and HGFs on BM-MSC osteogenesis were regulated by HDAC expression and histone H3 acetylation to a greater extent than that mediated by HDAC activity. Therefore, regulation of HDAC expression has prospects in clinical applications for effective periodontal regeneration, mainly, bone regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the regeneration of periodontal bone defects in animal models. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, and the study was recorded in PROSPERO under reference number CDR42021247462. The PICO question was: is periodontal regeneration (cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) with MSCs more effective than other techniques? Three groups were considered: Group 1: MSCs alone or mixed with regenerative materials. Group 2: only regenerative materials. Group 3: no regenerative material nor MSCs. The search was conducted using MeSH with a total of 18 articles for qualitative analysis and 5 for quantitative analysis. For the meta-analysis, a modification of the effect size algorithm was developed, which considered a comparison of means between treatments using the Student's t sample distribution. When comparing the effect size between Group 1 and Group 2, the effect size for the new cementum was 2.83 mm with an estimated confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%) between 0.48 and 5.17 mm. When considering the fit to a random-effects model, the combined variance (τ2) was 6.1573 mm, with a standard deviation (SD) of 5.6008 mm and a percentage of total heterogeneity I2 of 92.33% (p < 0.0001). For new bone, the effect size was 0.88 mm, CI 95% - 0.25 to 2.01 mm, τ2 = 1.3108 mm (SD = 1.2021 mm) and I2 = 80.46%, p = 0.0004). With regard to the new periodontal ligament, it was not possible for the meta-analysis to be performed. MSCs have a greater capacity for tissue regeneration in root cementum than in alveolar bone compared to other regenerative materials.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting about 20–50% of people, worldwide, and manifesting clinically through the detection of gingival inflammation, clinical attachment loss, radiographically assessed resorption of alveolar bone, gingival bleeding upon probing, teeth mobility and their potential loss at advanced stages. It is characterized by a multifactorial etiology, including an imbalance of the oral microbiota, mechanical stress and systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. The current standard treatments for periodontitis include eliminating the microbial pathogens and applying biomaterials to treat the bone defects. However, periodontal tissue regeneration via a process consistent with the natural tissue formation process has not yet been achieved. Developmental biology studies state that periodontal tissue is composed of neural crest-derived ectomesenchyme. The aim of this review is to discuss the clinical utility of stem cells in periodontal regeneration by reviewing the relevant literature that assesses the periodontal-regenerative potential of stem cells.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by tooth-supporting periodontal tissue destruction, including the cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. To regenerate the damaged periodontal tissue, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted much scientific and medical attention. Recently, we generated clumps of MSCs/extracellular matrix (ECM) complexes (C-MSCs), which consist of cells and self-produced ECM. C-MSCs can be transplanted into lesion areas without artificial scaffold to induce tissue regeneration. To develop reliable scaffold-free periodontal tissue regenerative cell therapy by C-MSCs, this study investigated the periodontal tissue regenerative capacity of C-MSCs and the behavior of the transplanted cells. Rat bone marrow-derived MSCs were isolated from rat femur. Confluent cells were scratched using a micropipette tip and then torn off. The sheet was rolled to make a three-dimensional round clump of cells, C-MSCs. Then, ten C-MSCs were grafted into a rat periodontal fenestration defect model. To trace the grafted cells in the defect, PKH26-labeled cells were also employed. Micro-CT and histological analyses demonstrated that transplantation of C-MSCs induced successful periodontal tissue regeneration in the rat periodontal defect model. Interestingly, the majority of the cells in the reconstructed tissue, including cementum, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone, were PKH26 positive donor cells, suggesting the direct tissue formation by MSCs. This study demonstrates a promising scaffold-free MSCs transplantation strategy for periodontal disease using C-MSCs and offers the significance of multipotency of MSCs to induce successful periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Increasing attention has been paid to cell-based medicines. Many in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the efficacy of stem cell transplantation for the regeneration of periodontal tissues over the past 20 years. Although positive evidence has accumulated regarding periodontal regeneration using stem cells, the exact mechanism of tissue regeneration is still largely unknown. This review outlines the practicality and emerging problems of stem cell transplantation therapy for periodontal regeneration. In addition, possible solutions to these problems and cell-free treatment are discussed.

[PMID: 35384987 PMCID: PMC8983037 DOI: 10.1590/1678-7757-2021-0359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Regenerative approaches using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been evaluated to promote the complete formation of all missing periodontal tissues, e.g., new cementum, bone, and functional periodontal ligaments. MSCs derived from bone marrow have been applied to bone and periodontal defects in several forms, including bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and cultured and isolated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal regeneration capacity of BMAC and cultured BM-MSCs in the wound healing of fenestration defects in rats. Methodology: BM-MSCs were obtained after bone marrow aspiration of the isogenic iliac crests of rats, followed by cultivation and isolation. Autogenous BMAC was collected and centrifuged immediately before surgery. In 36 rats, fenestration defects were created and treated with suspended BM-MSCs, BMAC or left to spontaneously heal (control) (N=6). Their regenerative potential was assessed by microcomputed tomography (µCT) and histomorphometry, as well as their cell phenotype and functionality by the Luminex assay at 15 and 30 postoperative days. Results: BMAC achieved higher bone volume in 30 days than spontaneous healing (p<0.0001) by enhancing osteoblastic lineage commitment maturation, with higher levels of osteopontin (p=0.0013). Defects filled with cultured BM-MSCs achieved higher mature bone formation in early stages than spontaneous healing and BMAC (p=0.0241 and p=0.0143, respectively). Moreover, significantly more cementum-like tissue formation (p<0.0001) was observed with new insertion of fibers in specimens treated with BM-MSCs within 30 days. Conclusion: Both forms of cell transport, BMAC and BM-MSCs, promoted bone formation. However, early bone formation and maturation were achieved when cultured BM-MSCs were used. Likewise, only cultured BM-MSCs were capable of achieving complete periodontal regeneration with inserted fibers in the new cementum-like tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the regenerative capacity of a newly-developed polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofibrous composite scaffold either alone or in combination with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) as a treatment modality for class II furcation defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS After ADSCs isolation and scaffold characterization, the mandibular premolars of adult male mongrel dogs were selected and randomly assigned into three equal groups. In group I, class II furcation defects were surgically induced to the inter-radicular bone. While class II furcation defects of group II were induced as in group I. In addition, the defects were filled with the prefabricated scaffold. Moreover, class II furcation defects of group III were induced as in group II and instead the defects were filled with the prefabricated scaffold seeded with ADSCs. The dogs were sacrificed at 30 days or at 60 days. Periodontal wound healing/regeneration was evaluated by radiological examination using cone beam computed tomography and histologically using ordinary, histochemical, and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS In the two examination periods, group II defects compared to group I, and group III compared to the other groups showed a decrease in defect dimensions radiographically. Histologically, histochemically, and immunohistochemically, they significantly demonstrated better periodontal wound healing/regeneration, predominant collagen type I of newly formed bone and periodontal ligament with a significant increase in the immunoreactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor and osteopontin. CONCLUSIONS The newly fabricated nanofibrous scaffold has enhanced periodontal wound healing/regeneration of class II furcation defects with further enhancement achieved when ADSCs seeded onto the scaffold before implantation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The implementation of our newly-developed PCL-based nanofibrous composite scaffolds in class II furcation defect either alone or in conjunction with ADSCs can be considered as a suitable treatment modality to allow periodontal tissues regeneration.

Abstract
The recent advances in the field of cell-based therapeutics open promising perspectives for oral tissue regeneration. The development of large animal models, which overcome the limits of the rodent models and allow to emulate clinical situations, is crucial for the validation of regenerative strategies to move toward clinical application. Currently, porcine, canine, and ovine models are mainly developed for oral regeneration and their specific characteristics have an impact on the outcomes of the studies. Thus, this systematic review investigates the application of porcine, canine, and ovine models in present cell-based oral regeneration, according to the species characteristics and the targeted tissue to regenerate. A customized search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 2015 to March 2020 was conducted. Relevant articles about cell-based oral tissues engineering in porcine, canine, and ovine models were evaluated. Among the evaluated articles, 58 relevant studies about cell-based oral regeneration in porcine, canine, and ovine models matched the eligibility criteria and were selected for full analysis. Porcine models, the most similar species with humans, were mostly used for bone and periodontium regeneration; tooth regeneration was reported only in pig, except for one study in dog. Canine models were the most transversal models, successfully involved for all oral tissue regeneration and notably in implantology. However, differences with humans and ethical concerns affect the use of these models. Ovine models, alternative to porcine and canine ones, were mainly used for bone and, scarcely, periodontium regeneration. The anatomy and physiology of these animals restrain their involvement. If consistency was found in defect specificities and cell trends among different species animal models of bone, dentin-pulp complex, or tooth regeneration, variability appeared in periodontium. Regeneration assessment methods were more elaborate in porcines and canines than in ovines. Risk of bias was low for selection, attrition and reporting, but unclear for performance and detection. Overall, if none of the large animal models can be considered an ideal one, they are of deemed importance for oral cell-based tissue engineering and researchers should consider their relevance to establish favorable conditions for a given preclinical cell-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Because bone-associated diseases are increasing, a variety of tissue engineering approaches with bone regeneration purposes have been proposed over the last years. Bone tissue provides a number of important physiological and structural functions in the human body, being essential for hematopoietic maintenance and for providing support and protection of vital organs. Therefore, efforts to develop the ideal scaffold which is able to guide the bone regeneration processes is a relevant target for tissue engineering researchers. Several techniques have been used for scaffolding approaches, such as diverse types of biomaterials. On the other hand, metallic biomaterials are widely used as support devices in dentistry and orthopedics, constituting an important complement for the scaffolds. Hence, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the degradable biomaterials and metal biomaterials proposed for bone regeneration in the orthopedic and dentistry fields in the last years.

Abstract
The sophisticated chain of cellular and molecular episodes during wound healing includes cell migration, cell proliferation, deposition of extracellular matrix, and remodelling and are onerous to replicate. Encapsulation of growth factors (GFs) and Stem cell-based (SCs) has been proclaimed to accelerate healing by transforming every phase associated with wound healing to enhance skin regeneration. Therapeutic application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) provides aid in wound fixing, tissue integrity restoration and function of impaired tissue. Several scientific studies have established the essential role GFs in wound healing and their reduced degree in the chronic wound. The overall limitation includes half-life, unfriendly microhabitat abundant with protease, and inadequate delivery approaches results in decreased delivery of effective amounts in a suitable time-based fashion. Advancements in the area of reformative medicine as well as tissue engineering have offered techniques competent of dispensing SCs and GFs in site-oriented manner. The progress in nanotechnology-based approaches attracts researcher to study and evaluate the potential of this SCs and GFs based therapy in chronic wounds. These techniques embrace the polymeric regime viz., nano-formulations, hydrogels, liposomes, scaffolds, nanofibers, metallic nanoparticles, lipid-based nanoparticles and dendrimers that have established better retort through targeting tissues when GFs and SCs are transported via these humans made devices. Assumed the current problems, improvements in delivery approaches and difficulties offered by chronic wounds, we hope to show that encapsulation of SCs and GFs loaded nanoformulations therapies is the rational next step in improving wound care.

Abstract
Background Periodontal tissue regeneration (PTR) is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. Currently, stem cell therapy is considered a promising strategy for achieving PTR. However, there is still no conclusive comparison that distinguishes clear hierarchies among different kinds of stem cells. Methods A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science up to February 2020. Preclinical studies assessing five types of stem cells for PTR were included; the five types of stem cells included periodontal ligament-derived stem cells (PDLSCs), bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs), and gingival-derived stem cells (GMSCs). The primary outcomes were three histological indicators with continuous variables: newly formed alveolar bone (NB), newly formed cementum (NC), and newly formed periodontal ligament (NPDL). We performed pairwise meta-analyses using a random-effects model and then performed a random-effects NMA using a multivariate meta-analysis model. Results Sixty preclinical studies assessing five different stem cell-based therapies were identified. The NMA showed that in terms of NB, PDLSCs (standardized mean difference 1.87, 95% credible interval 1.24 to 2.51), BMSCs (1.88, 1.17 to 2.59), and DPSCs (1.69, 0.64 to 2.75) were statistically more efficacious than cell carriers (CCs). In addition, PDLSCs were superior to GMSCs (1.49, 0.04 to 2.94). For NC, PDLSCs (2.18, 1.48 to 2.87), BMSCs (2.11, 1.28 to 2.94), and ADSCs (1.55, 0.18 to 2.91) were superior to CCs. For NPDL, PDLSCs (1.69, 0.92 to 2.47) and BMSCs (1.41, 0.56 to 2.26) were more efficacious than CCs, and PDLSCs (1.26, 0.11 to 2.42) were superior to GMSCs. The results of treatment hierarchies also demonstrated that the two highest-ranked interventions were PDLSCs and BMSCs. Conclusion PDLSCs and BMSCs were the most effective and well-documented stem cells for PTR among the five kinds of stem cells evaluated in this study, and there was no statistical significance between them. To translate the stem cell therapies for PTR successfully in the clinic, future studies should utilize robust experimental designs and reports.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontitis causes periodontal tissue destruction and results in physiological tooth dysfunction. Therefore, periodontal regeneration is ideal therapy for periodontitis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are useful for periodontal regenerative therapy as they can differentiate into periodontal cells; however, the underlying regulatory mechanism is unclear. In this study, we attempted to identify regulatory genes involved in periodontal cell differentiation and clarify the differentiation mechanism for effective periodontal regenerative therapy. BACKGROUND The cementum and periodontal ligament play important roles in physiological tooth function. Therefore, cementum and periodontal ligament regeneration are critical for periodontal regenerative therapy. Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can be a common periodontal regenerative therapy because these cells have multipotency and self-renewal ability, which induces new cementum or periodontal ligament formation. Moreover, MSCs can differentiate into cementoblasts. Cementoblast- or periodontal ligament cell-specific proteins have been reported; however, it is unclear how these proteins are regulated. MicroRNA (miRNA) can also act as a key regulator of MSC function. Therefore, in this study, we identified regulatory genes involved in cementoblast or periodontal cell differentiation and commitment. METHODS Human MSCs (hMSCs), cementoblasts (HCEM), and periodontal ligament cells (HPL cells) were cultured, and mRNA or miRNA expression was evaluated. Additionally, cementoblast-specific genes were overexpressed or suppressed in hMSCs and their expression levels were investigated. RESULTS HCEM and HPL cells expressed characteristic genes, of which we focused on ets variant 1 (ETV1), miR-628-5p, and miR-383 because ETV1 is a differentiation-related transcription factor, miR-628-5p was the second-highest expressed gene in HCEM and lowest expressed gene in HPL cells, and miR-383 was the highest expressed gene in HCEM. miR-628-5p and miR-383 overexpression in hMSCs regulated ETV1 mRNA expression, and miR-383 overexpression downregulated miR-628-5p expression. Moreover, miR-383 suppression decreased miR-383 expression and enhanced ETV1 mRNA expression, but miR-383 suppression also decreased miR-628-5p. Furthermore, silencing of ETV1 expression in hMSCs regulated miR-628-5p and miR-383 expression. Concerning periodontal cell commitment, miR-628-5p, miR-383, and ETV1 regulated the expression of HCEM- or HPL cell-related genes by adjusting the expression of these miRNAs. CONCLUSION HCEM and HPL cells show characteristic mRNA and miRNA profiles. In particular, these cells have specific miR-383, miR-628-5p, and ETV1 expression patterns, and these genes interact with each other. Therefore, miR-383, miR-628-5p, and ETV1 are key genes involved in cementogenesis or HPL cell differentiation.

Abstract
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is a potentially useful biological product for bone regeneration. This study investigated whether BMAC can be enriched by local minor corticotomies. Five 4-month-old domestic pigs were used with each pig undergoing two minor corticotomies at one randomly-selected tibia. Two weeks after the operation, bone marrow was aspirated from both tibiae and processed into BMAC samples. The amount of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the concentration of several regenerative growth factors contained in BMAC, as well as the proliferative and osteogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs, were compared between the corticotomy and the control sides. Another four weeks later, healing of the corticotomies was evaluated by radiographic and histological methods. The results demonstrated that BMAC from the corticotomy side contained significantly more MSCs than the control side. MSCs from the corticotomy side also proliferated significantly faster and tended to have stronger osteogenic differentiation than those from the control side. In contrast, the protein concentration of TGF-β, BMP-2 and PDGF contained in BMAC was only minimally changed by the corticotomies. The corticotomies in all pigs healed uneventfully, showing complete obliteration of the corticotomy gaps on CT images. Comparison between the two sides showed that the corticotomy side had thicker and denser cortical bone and more abundant osteogenic cell differentiation than the control side. These findings suggest that the quantity and proliferative/osteogenic differentiation capacity of MSCs contained in local BMAC can be enhanced by minor corticotomies, and spontaneous healing of the corticotomy can be completed within 6 weeks of the operation.

Abstract
Introduction Human periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (hPDLMSCs) have been known that they play important roles in homeostasis and regeneration of periodontal tissues. Additionally, spheroids are superior to monolayer-cultured cells. We investigated the characteristics and potential of periodontal tissue regeneration in co-cultured spheroids of hPDLMSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and in vivo. Methods Co-cultured spheroids were prepared with cell ratios of hPDLMSCs: HUVECs = 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1, using microwell chips. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA), and nodule formation assay were performed to examine the properties of co-cultured spheroids. Periodontal tissue defects were prepared in the maxillary first molars of rats and subjected to transplantation assay. Results The expression levels of stemness markers, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), osteogenesis-related genes were up-regulated in co-cultured spheroids, compared with monolayer and spheroid-cultured hPDLMSCs. The nodule formation was also increased in co-cultured spheroids, compared with monolayer and spheroid cultures of hPDLMSCs. Treatment with co-cultured spheroids enhanced new cementum formation after 4 or 8 weeks of transplantation, although there was no significant difference in the new bone formation between co-cultured spheroids and hPDLMSC spheroids. Conclusions We found that co-cultured spheroids enhance the periodontal tissue regeneration. Co-cultured spheroids of hPDLMSCs and HUVECs may be a useful therapy that can induce periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The aim of the systematic review was to analyze the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and biomaterial for periodontal regeneration from preclinical animal models and human. Electronic databases were searched and additional hand-search in leading journals was performed. The research strategy was achieved according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The including criteria were as follows: MSC, biomaterial, in vivo studies, with histologic and radiologic analysis and written in English. The risk of bias was assessed for individual studies. A total of 50 articles were selected and investigated in the systematic review. These results indicate that MSC and scaffold provide beneficial effects on periodontal regeneration, with no adverse effects of such interventions. Future studies need to identify the suitable association of MSC and biomaterial and to characterize the type of new cementum and the organization of the periodontal ligament fiber regeneration.

Histologic evidence of periodontal regeneration in furcation defects: a systematic review. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 23:2861-2906. [PMID: 31165313 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-019-02964-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2018] [Accepted: 05/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the available histologic evidence on periodontal regeneration in class II and III furcations in animals and humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A protocol including all aspects of a systematic review methodology was developed including definition of the focused question, defined search strategy, study inclusion criteria, determination of outcome measures, screening methods, data extraction and analysis, and data synthesis. The focused question was defined as follows: "What is the regenerative effect obtained by using or not several biomaterials as adjuncts to open flap surgery in the treatment of periodontal furcation defects as evaluated in animal and human histological studies?" SEARCH STRATEGY Using the MEDLINE database, the literature was searched for articles published up to and including September 2018: combinations of several search terms were applied to identify appropriate studies. Reference lists of review articles and of the included articles in the present review were screened. A hand search of the most important dental journals was also performed. CRITERIA FOR STUDY SELECTION AND INCLUSION Only articles published in English describing animal and human histological studies evaluating the effect of surgical treatment, with or without the adjunctive use of potentially regenerative materials (i.e., barrier membranes, grafting materials, growth factors/proteins, and combinations thereof) for the treatment of periodontal furcation defects were considered. Only studies reporting a minimum of 8 weeks healing following reconstructive surgery were included. The primary outcome variable was formation of periodontal supporting tissues [e.g., periodontal ligament, root cementum, and alveolar bone, given as linear measurements (in mm) or as a percentage of the instrumented root length (%)] following surgical treatment with or without regenerative materials, as determined histologically/histomorphometrically. Healing type and defect resolution (i.e., complete regeneration, long junctional epithelium, connective tissue attachment, connective tissue adhesion, or osseous repair) were also recorded. RESULTS In animals, periodontal regeneration was reported in class II and III defects with open flap debridement alone or combined with various types of bone grafts/bone substitues, biological factors, guided tissue regeneration, and different combinations thereof. The use of biological factors and combination approaches provided the best outcomes for class II defects whereas in class III defects, the combination approaches seem to offer the highest regenerative outcomes. In human class II furcations, the best outcomes were obtained with DFDBA combined with rhPDGF-BB and with GTR. In class III furcations, evidence from two case reports indicated very limited to no periodontal regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Within their limits, the present results suggest that (a) in animals, complete periodontal regeneration has been demonstrated in class II and class III furcation defects, and (b) in humans, the evidence for substantial periodontal regeneration is limited to class II furcations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE At present, regenerative periodontal surgery represents a valuable treatment option only for human class II furcation defects but not for class III furcations.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is commonly used for alveolar bone augmentation. The paracrine mechanism in the field of bone tissue engineering has been emphasized in recent years and exosomes are considered to have the potential of promoting osteogenesis. We aimed to study the influence of sinus mucosa and periosteum on bone regeneration through paracrine stimulation, especially via exosomes, and compare the differences between them. Here, we report that conditioned medium (CM) from sinus mucosa-derived cells (SMCs) and periosteum-derived cells (PCs) and the isolated exosomes enhanced the proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in vitro. A rat model of femoral bone defects was used to demonstrate that the exosomes derived from SMCs (SMC-Exos) and PCs (PC-Exos) can accelerate bone formation in vivo. Furthermore, we present a preliminary discussion of the possible functional components involved in the effects of SMC-Exos and PC-Exos on bone regeneration. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that the sinus mucosa and periosteum can accelerate osteogenesis through paracrine effects and the exosomes play important roles in this process.

Type I collagen deposition via osteoinduction ameliorates YAP/TAZ activity in 3D floating culture clumps of mesenchymal stem cell/extracellular matrix complexes. Stem Cell Res Ther 2018; 9:342. [PMID: 30526677 PMCID: PMC6286508 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-018-1085-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2018] [Revised: 11/10/2018] [Accepted: 11/20/2018] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Three-dimensional (3D) floating culture clumps of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/extracellular matrix (ECM) complexes (C-MSCs) consist of cells and self-produced ECM. Previous studies have demonstrated that C-MSCs can be transplanted into bony lesions without an artificial scaffold to induce bone regeneration. Moreover, osteoinductive medium (OIM)-treated C-MSCs (OIM-C-MSCs) have shown rapid and increased new bone formation in vivo. To apply OIM-C-MSCs for novel bone regenerative cell therapy, their cellular properties at the molecular level must be elucidated. The transcriptional co-activators yes-associated protein/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (YAP/TAZ) have been recognized as key players in the mechanotransduction cascade, controlling cell lineage commitment in MSCs. It is plausible that 3D C-MSCs/OIM-C-MSCs cultured in floating conditions could provide distinct microenvironments compared to conventional 2D culture systems and thereby induce unique mechanotransduction cascades. Therefore, this study investigated the YAP/TAZ activity in 3D-cultured C-MSCs/OIM-C-MSCs in floating conditions. Methods Human bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured in growth medium supplemented with ascorbic acid. To obtain C-MSCs, confluent cells that had formed on the cellular sheet were scratched using a micropipette tip and were then torn off. The sheet was rolled to make round clumps of cells. Then, YAP/TAZ activity, filamentous actin (F-actin) integrity, collagen type I (COL1) production, and the differentiation potency in 3D floating culture C-MSCs/OIM-C-MSCs were analyzed. Results C-MSCs cultured in floating conditions lost their actin cytoskeleton to downregulate YAP/TAZ activity, which directed cells to undergo adipogenesis/chondrogenesis. OIM treatment induced abundant COL1 deposition, which facilitated Intβ1-dependent actin fiber formation and YAP/TAZ activity to elevate the expression levels of osteogenic master transcriptional factor runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) mRNA in C-MSCs. Importantly, elevation of YAP/TAZ activity via OIM was associated with COL1 deposition and F-actin integrity, suggesting a positive feedback loop in OIM-C-MSCs. Conclusion These findings suggest that OIM-C-MSCs, which form a unique microenvironment that maintains high YAP/TAZ activity, can serve as better candidates for bone regenerative cell therapy than C-MSCs.

Abstract
Native bone extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by mesenchymal precursors provides an optimal biological framework, comprising structural collagen proteins and a microenvironment niche, which supports cell attachment and differentiation, and bone growth. Inspired by nature, the embryonic-like mineralized ECM/stem cell microspheroids (MECS) are developed, in which self-assembly of the stem cell microspheroids (CS) and mineralization of the self-produced ECM occur simultaneously. The uniform-sized MECS exhibit a solid spherical appearance with stem cells embedded inside, recapitulating the early stage of intramembranous ossification. Compared with pure CS, MECS show enhanced Young's modulus, cell viability, intercellular communication, and osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, the capability of MECS is explored without the use of exogenous scaffolds to substitute and repair lost bone in rat critical-sized defects. It is found that the MECS can achieve excellent bone regeneration outcomes with 97.99 ± 2.28% of the defect area filled with new bony structures and blood vessels, while nearly half or one-third of the defect area is repaired by CS (52.79 ± 4.63%) or β-tricalcium phosphate (38.09 ± 7.79%), respectively. The study demonstrates that embryonic-like MECS is a novel effective bone graft substitute for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to construct a novel tissue engineered bone composed of 3D-printed bioactive glass block/chitosan nanoparticles (BD/CSn) composites loaded with Nel-like Type I molecular-1 DNA (pDNA-NELL1) and/or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and study their osteogenic activities by repairing bone defects in rhesus monkeys. CSn with NELL1 gene plasmid and rhesus monkey BMSCs were composited with a BD scaffold to prepare the tissue-engineered bone. Four adult female rhesus monkeys with 10- to 12-years old and 5-7 kg in weight were used in animal experiments. The first and second premolar teeth from four regions of each monkey were removed to form bone defects with size of 10 × 10 × 5 mm, which were then implanted with above-mentioned tissue engineered bone. At 12 weeks after the implantation, gross observations, X-ray and micro-CT observations revealed that the new bone was extremely close to normal bone in mass, density, hardness, and structure. The bony cortex was smooth and closely connected to the surrounding normal bone. Histological observations revealed moderate inflammation in the repair area, and the new bone tissues were similar to normal ones. In conclusion, tissue engineered bone of this study exhibited good osteoconductivity for promoting the formation of new alveolar bone tissue, and NELL1 gene played a promotional role in bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restoring lost tissues of the periodontium, such as cementum, is essential in reducing the risk of tooth loss due to periodontitis and/or severe root resorption. Stem cell therapy is a regenerative strategy in cementum regeneration. This systematic review aimed to analyze the effect of various stem cells and their transplantation method on cementum regeneration in the dog model. METHODS Electronic databases were searched, in addition to performing hand searches and a gray literature search. Titles and abstracts were searched according to the inclusion criteria and full texts were selected to be included in this systematic review. Data was extracted from each article and risk of bias was assessed for individual studies. RESULTS Most studies reported that the treatment using a variety of stem cells resulted in significantly greater cementum regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Because of variations in additional factors included in each study and varied risk of bias among those studies, the effect of each type of stem cell on cementum regeneration in dogs is difficult to clarify. Additional information needs to be obtained from each study in order to further analyze the individual effect of stem cells on cementum regeneration in dogs.

Abstract
Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which possess self-renewing properties and multipotency, into a periodontal defect is thought to be a useful option for periodontal tissue regeneration. However, developing more reliable and predictable implantation techniques is still needed. Recently, we generated clumps of an MSC/extracellular matrix (ECM) complex (C-MSC), which consisted of cells and self-produced ECM. C-MSCs can regulate their cellular functions in vitro and can be grafted into a defect site, without any artificial scaffold, to induce bone regeneration. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of C-MSC transplantation on periodontal tissue regeneration in beagle dogs. Seven beagle dogs were employed to generate a premolar class III furcation defect model. MSCs isolated from dog ilium were seeded at a density of 7.0 × 104 cells/well into 24-well plates and cultured in growth medium supplemented with 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid for 4 d. To obtain C-MSCs, confluent cells were scratched using a micropipette tip and were then torn off as a cellular sheet. The sheet was rolled up to make round clumps of cells. C-MSCs were maintained in growth medium or osteoinductive medium (OIM) for 5 or 10 d. The biological properties of C-MSCs were evaluated in vitro, and their periodontal tissue regenerative activity was tested by using a dog class III furcation defect model. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that type I collagen fabricated the form of C-MSCs. OIM markedly elevated calcium deposition in C-MSCs at day 10, suggesting its osteogenic differentiation capacity. Both C-MSCs and C-MSCs cultured with OIM transplantation without an artificial scaffold into the dog furcation defect induced periodontal tissue regeneration successfully compared with no graft, whereas osteogenic-differentiated C-MSCs led to rapid alveolar bone regeneration. These findings suggested that the use of C-MSCs refined by self-produced ECM may represent a novel predictable periodontal tissue regenerative therapy.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to evaluate mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) periodontal regenerative potential in animal models. MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases were searched for quantitative pre-clinical controlled animal model studies that evaluated the effect of local administration of MSC on periodontal regeneration. The systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. Twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Periodontal defects were surgically created in all studies. In seven studies, periodontal inflammation was experimentally induced following surgical defect creation. Differences in defect morphology were identified among the studies. Autogenous, alogenous and xenogenous MSC were used to promote periodontal regeneration. These included bone marrow-derived MSC, periodontal ligament (PDL)-derived MSC, dental pulp-derived MSC, gingival margin-derived MSC, foreskin-derived induced pluripotent stem cells, adipose tissue-derived MSC, cementum-derived MSC, periapical follicular MSC and alveolar periosteal cells. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneities in study designs. In most of the studies, local MSC implantation was not associated with adverse effects. The use of bone marrow-derived MSC for periodontal regeneration yielded conflicting results. In contrast, PDL-MSC consistently promoted increased PDL and cementum regeneration. Finally, the adjunct use of MSC improved the regenerative outcomes of periodontal defects treated with membranes or bone substitutes. Despite the quality level of the existing evidence, the current data indicate that the use of MSC may provide beneficial effects on periodontal regeneration. The various degrees of success of MSC in periodontal regeneration are likely to be related to the use of heterogeneous cells. Thus, future studies need to identify phenotypic profiles of highly regenerative MSC populations.
