Abstract
Phosphoketolase and transketolase are thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzymes and play a central role in the primary metabolism of bifidobacteria: the bifid shunt. The enzymes both catalyze phosphorolytic cleavage of xylulose 5-phosphate or fructose 6-phosphate in the first reaction step, but possess different substrate specificity in the second reaction step, where phosphoketolase and transketolase utilize inorganic phosphate (Pi) and D-ribose 5-phosphate, respectively, as the acceptor substrate. Structures of Bifidobacterium longum phosphoketolase holoenzyme and its complex with a putative inhibitor, phosphoenolpyruvate, were determined at 2.5 Å resolution by serial femtosecond crystallography using an X-ray free-electron laser. In the complex structure, phosphoenolpyruvate was present at the entrance to the active-site pocket and plugged the channel to thiamine diphosphate. The phosphate-group position of phosphoenolpyruvate coincided well with those of xylulose 5-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate in the structures of their complexes with transketolase. The most striking structural change was observed in a loop consisting of Gln546-Asp547-His548-Asn549 (the QN-loop) at the entrance to the active-site pocket. Contrary to the conformation of the QN-loop that partially covers the entrance to the active-site pocket (`closed form') in the known crystal structures, including the phosphoketolase holoenzyme and its complexes with reaction intermediates, the QN-loop in the current ambient structures showed a more compact conformation with a widened entrance to the active-site pocket (`open form'). In the phosphoketolase reaction, the `open form' QN-loop may play a role in providing the binding site for xylulose 5-phosphate or fructose 6-phosphate in the first step, and the `closed form' QN-loop may help confer specificity for Pi in the second step.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival is a key metric of the effectiveness of a health system in managing cancer. We set out to provide a comprehensive examination of worldwide variation and trends in survival from brain tumors in adults, by histology. METHODS We analyzed individual data for adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with a brain tumor (ICD-O-3 topography code C71) during 2000-2014, regardless of tumor behavior. Data underwent a 3-phase quality control as part of CONCORD-3. We estimated net survival for 11 histology groups, using the unbiased nonparametric Pohar Perme estimator. RESULTS The study included 556,237 adults. In 2010-2014, the global range in age-standardized 5-year net survival for the most common sub-types was broad: in the range 20%-38% for diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma, from 4% to 17% for glioblastoma, and between 32% and 69% for oligodendroglioma. For patients with glioblastoma, the largest gains in survival occurred between 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. These improvements were more noticeable among adults diagnosed aged 40-70 years than among younger adults. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumors by histology in adults. We have highlighted remarkable gains in 5-year survival from glioblastoma since 2005, providing large-scale empirical evidence on the uptake of chemoradiation at population level. Worldwide, survival improvements have been extensive, but some countries still lag behind. Our findings may help clinicians involved in national and international tumor pathway boards to promote initiatives aimed at more extensive implementation of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, prior osteoporosis treatment affected the bone mineral density increase of following treatment with 12 months of romosozumab, although it did not affect that of following treatment with 12 months of denosumab after romosozumab. PURPOSE To investigate the effects of prior osteoporosis treatment on the response to treatment with romosozumab (ROMO) followed by denosumab (DMAb) in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS In this prospective, observational, multicenter study, treatment-naïve patients (Naïve; n = 55) or patients previously treated with bisphosphonates (BP; n = 37), DMAb (DMAb; n = 45) or teriparatide (TPTD; n = 17) (mean age, 74.6 years; T-scores of the lumbar spine [LS] - 3.2 and total hip [TH] - 2.6) were switched to ROMO for 12 months, followed by DMAb for 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) and serum bone turnover markers were evaluated for 24 months. RESULTS A BMD increase was observed at 12 and 24 months in the following patients: Naïve (18.2% and 22.0%), BP (10.2% and 12.1%), DMAb (6.6% and 9.7%), and TPTD (10.8% and 15.0%) (P < 0.001 between the groups at both 12 and 24 months) in LS and Naïve (5.5% and 8.3%), BP (2.9% and 4.1%), DMAb (0.6% and 2.2%), and TPTD (4.3% and 5.4%) (P < 0.01 between the groups at 12 months and P < 0.001 at 24 months) in TH, respectively. The BMD increase in LS from 12 to 24 months was negatively associated with the levels of bone resorption marker at 24 months. Incidences of major fragility fractures for the respective groups were as follows: Naïve (5.5%), BP (16.2%), DMAb (11.1%), and TPTD (5.9%). CONCLUSIONS Previous treatment affected the BMD increase of following treatment with ROMO, although it did not affect that of following treatment with DMAb after ROMO.

Abstract
Olfactory mucus contributes to the specific functions of the olfactory mucosa, but the composition and source of mucus proteins have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used comprehensive proteome analysis and identified lipocalin 15 (LCN15), a human-specific lipocalin family protein, as an abundant component of the olfactory mucus. Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a newly generated anti-LCN15 antibody showed that LCN15 was concentrated in olfactory mucus samples, but not in respiratory mucus samples. Immunohistochemical staining using anti-LCN15 antibody revealed that LCN15 localized to the cytokeratin 18-positive Bowman's glands of the olfactory cleft mucosa. Quantitative image analysis revealed that the area of LCN15 immunoreactivity along the olfactory cleft mucosa significantly correlated with the area of neuron-specific Protein-Gene Product 9.5 (PGP9.5) immunoreactivity, suggesting that LCN15 is produced in non-degenerated areas of the olfactory neuroepithelium. ELISA demonstrated that the concentration of LCN15 in the mucus was lower in participants with normal olfaction (≥ 50 years) and also tended to be lower in patients with idiopathic olfactory loss (≥ 50 years) than in participants with normal olfaction (< 50 years). Thus, LCN15 may serve as a biomarker for the activity of the Bowman’s glands.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether the pathological response to preoperative chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be predicted using 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron-emission tomography (F-18 FDG-PET). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients with PDAC who underwent only neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery were enrolled in the study. All patients had F-18 FDG-PET examinations before NAC. The resected specimen was pathologically evaluated according to the Classification of Pancreatic Carcinoma (7th edn). Patients were categorised into a non-response group and a response group based on the pathological findings. The non-response group (Grades 1a and 1b) showed ≤50% necrosis in the specimen, while the specimens of the response group (Grades 2-3) showed >50% necrosis. The maximum standardised uptake values (SUVmax) of the tumours on F-18 FDG-PET were measured. The mean values of SUVmax were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic performance of SUVmax in distinguishing the two groups was also evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The mean SUVmax of the response group was higher than that of the non-response group (9.00 ± 1.78 versus 4.26 ± 2.35; p<0.001). The optimal cut-off value of SUVmax was 9.28 for distinguishing the two groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the prediction in the response group were 80%, 95.7%, and 92.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SUVmax on F-18 FDG-PET may be useful as a biomarker to predict the pathological response to NAC in patients with PDAC.

Abstract
Enzymatic amino acid assays are important in physiological research and clinical diagnostics because abnormal amino acid concentrations in biofluids are associated with various diseases. L-histidine decarboxylase from Photobacterium phosphoreum (PpHDC) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme and a candidate for use in an L-histidine quantitation assay. Previous cysteine substitution experiments demonstrated that the PpHDC C57S mutant displayed improved long-term storage stability and thermostability when compared with those of the wild-type enzyme. In this study, combinational mutation experiments of single cysteine substitution mutants of PpHDC were performed, revealing that the PpHDC C57S/C101V/C282V mutant possessed the highest thermostability. The stabilizing mechanism of these mutations were elucidated by solving the structures of PpHDC C57S and C57S/C101V/C282V mutants by X-ray crystallography. In the crystal structures, two symmetry-related PpHDC molecules form a domain-swapped homodimer. The side chain of S57 is solvent exposed in the structure, indicating that the C57S mutation eliminates chemical oxidation or disulfide bond formation with a free thiol group, thereby providing greater stability. Residues 101 and 282 form hydrophobic interactions with neighboring hydrophobic residues. Mutations C101V and C282V enhanced thermostability of PpHDC by filling a cavity present in the hydrophobic core (C101V) and increasing hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that has been linked to mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. The accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates in spinal neurons and astrocytes is implicated as an important pathological process in DM; however, the mechanism of protein aggregate formation is largely unknown. In human neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cell-to-cell propagation of disease-relevant proteins has been demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, propagation of aggregation-forming property of mutant SOD1 protein in DM in vitro was investigated. This study demonstrated that aggregates composed of canine wild type SOD1 protein were increased by co-transfection with canine mutant SOD1 (E40K SOD1), indicating intracellular propagation of SOD1 aggregates. Further, aggregated recombinant SOD1 proteins were released from the cells, taken up by other cells, and induced further aggregate formation of normally folded SOD1 proteins. These results suggest intercellular propagation of SOD1 aggregates. The hypothesis of cell-to-cell propagation of SOD1 aggregates proposed in this study may underly the progressive nature of DM pathology.

Abstract
Commercially approved conventional antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are produced as heterogeneous mixtures containing a stochastic distribution of payloads decorating the antibody molecules resulting in decreased efficacy and thus lowering their therapeutic index. Control of the DAR and conjugation site in the development of next-generation ADCs is believed to assist in increasing the therapeutic index of these targeted biologics leading to overall enhanced clinical efficacy and reduced toxicity. A chemical site-specific conjugation technology termed AJICAP® allows ADC developers to control both the location and quantity of the payload conjugation to an antibody. Furthermore, this simplified ADC composition enables a streamlined chemical analysis. Here we report the chromatographic separation of site-specific ADCs produced by AJICAP® technology using an analytical affinity chromatography HPLC column containing a recombinant FcγIIIa receptor-ligand immobilized on a non-porous polymer resin (NPR). These HPLC analyses provided visually clear chromatogram results reflecting the heterogeneity of each ADC. The affinity strength was also measured by biolayer interferometry (BLI) and predicted by molecular structure analysis. The results indicate that AJICAP® technology is a promising solution to link hydrophobic payloads to antibodies without compromising antibody receptor function. This study also shows that FcγIIIa-NPR column can be used to characterize site-specific conjugated ADCs compared to ADCs synthesized using conventional methods.

Abstract
Background We assessed the non-inferiority of accelerated fractionation (AF) (2.4 Gy/fraction) compared with standard fractionation (SF) (2 Gy/fraction) regarding progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with T1-2N0M0 glottic cancer (GC). Patients and methods In this multi-institutional, randomized, phase III trial, patients were enrolled from 32 Japanese institutions. Key inclusion criteria were GC T1-2N0M0, age 20-80, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and adequate organ function. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either SF of 66-70 Gy (33-35 fractions), or AF of 60-64.8 Gy (25-27 fractions). The primary end point was the proportion of 3-year PFS. The planned sample size was 360 with a non-inferiority margin of 5%. Results Between 2007 and 2013, 370 patients were randomized (184/186 to SF/AF). Three-year PFS was 79.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 73.4-85.4) for SF and 81.7% (95% CI 75.4-87.0) for AF (difference 1.8%, 91% CI-5.1% to 8.8%; one-sided P = 0.047 > 0.045). The cumulative incidences of local failure at 3 years for SF/AF were 15.9%/10.3%. No significant difference was observed in 3-year overall survival (OS) between SF and AF. Grade 3 or 4 acute and late toxicities developed in 22 (12.4%)/21 (11.5%) and 2 (1.1%)/1 (0.5%) in the SF/AF arms. Conclusion Although the non-inferiority of AF was not confirmed statistically, the similar efficacy and toxicity of AF compared with SF, as well as the practical convenience of its fewer treatment sessions, suggest the potential of AF as a treatment option for early GC.

Abstract
The formation of Fc-fusions, in which biologically active molecules and the Fc fragment of antibodies are linked to each other, is one of the most efficient and successful half-life extension technologies to be developed and applied to peptide and protein pharmaceuticals thus far. Fc-fusion compounds are generally produced by recombinant methods. However, these cannot be applied to artificial middle molecules, such as peptides with non-natural amino acids, unnatural cyclic peptides, or pharmaceutical oligonucleotides. Here, we developed a simple, efficient, semisynthetic method for Fc-fusion production involving our previously developed enzymatic N-terminal extension reaction (i.e., NEXT-A reaction) and strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, achieving quantitative conversion and high selectivity for the N-terminus of the Fc protein. An Fc-fusion compound prepared by this method showed comparable biological activity to that of the original peptide and a long-circulating plasma half-life. Thus, the proposed method is potentially applicable for the conjugation of a wide range of pharmaceutical components.

Abstract
Leucine dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.4.1.9) is a NAD+-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the deamination of branched-chain l-amino acids (BCAAs). LDH of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GstLDH) is a highly thermostable enzyme that has been applied for the quantification or production of BCAAs. Here the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of apo and NAD+-bound LDH are reported at 3.0 and 3.2 Å resolution, respectively. On comparing the structures, the two overall structures are almost identical, but it was observed that the partial conformational change was triggered by the interaction between Ser147 and the nicotinamide moiety of NAD+. NAD+ binding also enhanced the strength of oligomerization interfaces formed by the core domains. Such additional interdomain interaction is in good agreement with our experimental results showing that the residual activity of NAD+-bound form was approximately three times higher than that of the apo form after incubation at 80 °C. In addition, sequence comparison of three structurally known LDHs indicated a set of candidates for site-directed mutagenesis to improve thermostability. Subsequent mutation analysis actually revealed that non-conserved residues, including Ala94, Tyr127, and the C-terminal region, are crucial for oligomeric thermostability.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a potentially disabling disease whose progression is dependent on several risk factors. OA management usually involves the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are the primary pharmacological treatments of choice. However, NSAIDs have often been associated with unwanted side effects. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 specific inhibitors, such as celecoxib, have been successfully used as an alternative in the past for OA treatment and have demonstrated fewer side effects. While abundant data are available for the clinical efficacy of drugs used for OA treatment, little is known about the disease-modifying effects of these agents. A previous review published by Zweers et al. (2010) assessed the available literature between 1990 and 2010 on the disease-modifying effects of celecoxib. In the present review, we aimed to update the existing evidence and identify evolving concepts relating to the disease-modifying effects of not just celecoxib, but also other NSAIDs. We conducted a review of the literature published from 2010 to 2016 dealing with the effects, especially disease-modifying effects, of NSAIDs on cartilage, synovium, and bone in OA patients. Our results show that celecoxib was the most commonly used drug in papers that presented data on disease-modifying effects of NSAIDs. Further, these effects appeared to be mediated through the regulation of prostaglandins, cytokines, and direct changes to tissues. Additional studies should be carried out to assess the disease-modifying properties of NSAIDs in greater detail.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose draft classification criteria for early stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee for use in a primary care setting. METHODS A group of basic scientists, physician-scientists, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physiotherapists in a workshop setting discussed potential classification criteria for early osteoarthritis of the knee. The workshop was divided into sessions around relevant topics with short state of the art presentations followed by breakout sessions, consensus discussions, and consolidation into a consensus document. RESULTS Three classes of criteria were agreed: (1) Pain, symptoms/signs, self-reported function, and quality of life using tools such as KOOS: scoring ≤85% in at least 2 out of these 4 categories; (2) Clinical examination: at least 1 present out of joint line tenderness or crepitus; (3) Knee radiographs: Kellgren & Lawrence (KL) grade of 0 or 1. MRI is at present not recommended as an aid to identify or define early OA in routine clinical practice or primary care, in light of the absence of validated consensus criteria and the high population prevalence of structural joint changes detected by this method. Biomarkers may have future utility in early OA classification, but no individual or set of biomarkers is yet robust enough. CONCLUSION Based on our consensus proposal, draft classification criteria for early OA of the knee for use in clinical studies should include patient reported outcomes such as pain and function, together with clinical signs and KL grade 0-1 on radiographs.

Abstract
Compressive stress may be involved in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovitis, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that mechanical stress to the synovial cells of the TMJ potentially causes degenerative changes in temporomandibular joint disease. We examined the effect of cyclic compressive loading on three-dimensionally engineered constructs using human TMJ synovium-derived cells in vitro. Human TMJ synovium-derived cells were cultured onto collagen scaffolds, resulting in three-dimensional constructs. Cyclic compression loading was applied to the constructs by means of a custom-designed apparatus. DNA amount, apoptotic cells, and mRNA levels for inflammatory cytokines were analyzed. The protein expression and activity of MMPs were examined. DNA amount or apoptotic cell number was unchanged by loading. MMP-2, -3, and IL-8 mRNA expression was up-regulated by the compression, and both MMP-1 and -3 protein expression and MMP-2 activity were detected. Thus, compression of human TMJ synovium-derived cells appears to modulate inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated changes in the axial alignment of the ipsilateral hip and knee after total hip arthroplasty (THA). PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 152 patients undergoing primary THA (163 hips; 22 hips in men, 141 hips in women) without a pre-operative flexion contracture. The mean age was 64 years (30 to 88). The diagnosis was osteoarthritis (OA) in 151 hips (primary in 18 hips, and secondary to dysplasia in 133) and non-OA in 12 hips. A posterolateral approach with repair of the external rotators was used in 134 hips and an anterior approach in 29 hips. We measured changes in leg length and offset on radiographs, and femoral anteversion, internal rotation of the hip and lateral patellar tilt on CT scans, pre- and post-operatively. RESULTS The mean internal rotation increased by 11° (-15° to 46°) and was associated with underlying disease (OA), pre-operative range of internal rotation, gender, surgical approach, leg lengthening, and change of femoral anteversion (adjusted R(2) : 0.253, p < 0.001). The mean lateral patellar tilt increased by 4° (-5° to 14°) and was associated with age, leg lengthening, and increment of hip internal rotation (adjusted R(2): 0.193, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Both internal rotation of the hip at rest and lateral patellar tilt are increased after THA. Changes in rotation after THA may affect gait, daily activities, the rate of dislocation of the hip, and ipsilateral knee pain. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Internal rotation of the hip at rest and lateral patellar tilt increase after THA.

Abstract
The C-shaped root canal constitutes an unusual root morphology that can be found primarily in mandibular second permanent molars. Due to the complexity of their structure, C-shaped root canal systems may complicate endodontic interventions. A thorough understanding of root canal morphology is therefore imperative for proper diagnosis and successful treatment. This review aims to summarize current knowledge regarding C-shaped roots and root canals, from basic morphology to advanced endodontic procedures. To this end, a systematic search was conducted using the MEDLINE, BIOSIS, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, PLoS and BioMed Central databases, and many rarely cited articles were included. Furthermore, four interactive 3D models of extracted teeth are introduced that will allow for a better understanding of the complex C-shaped root canal morphology. In addition, the present publication includes an embedded best-practice video showing an exemplary root canal procedure on a tooth with a pronounced C-shaped root canal. The survey of this unusual structure concludes with a number of suggestions concerning future research efforts.

Abstract
Objective Excessive mechanical stress on synovial joints causes osteoarthritis
(OA) and results in the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a
key molecule in arthritis, by synovial fibroblasts. However, the
relationship between arthritis-related molecules and mechanical
stress is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine
the synovial fibroblast response to cyclic mechanical stress using
an in vitro osteoarthritis model. Method Human synovial fibroblasts were cultured on collagen scaffolds
to produce three-dimensional constructs. A cyclic compressive loading
of 40 kPa at 0.5 Hz was applied to the constructs, with or without
the administration of a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor
or dexamethasone, and then the concentrations of PGE2, interleukin-1β (IL-1β),
tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-8 and COX-2 were measured. Results The concentrations of PGE2, IL-6 and IL-8 in the loaded samples
were significantly higher than those of unloaded samples; however,
the concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α were the same as the unloaded
samples. After the administration of a COX-2 selective inhibitor,
the increased concentration of PGE2 by cyclic compressive loading
was impeded, but the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 remained high.
With dexamethasone, upregulation of PGE2, IL-6 and IL-8 was suppressed. Conclusion These results could be useful in revealing the molecular mechanism
of mechanical stress in vivo for a better understanding
of the pathology and therapy of OA. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2014;3:280–8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 expression increases after pulpectomy and accelerates angiogenesis in rat dental pulp by an uncharacterised mechanism. Odontoblasts, a major component of dental pulp, could represent a therapeutic target. We investigated whether MMP-3 activity is induced by cytokines and/or is associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis in embryonic stem cell-derived odontoblast-like cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, an MMP-3 activity assay, a BrdU-cell proliferation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and DNA fragmentation analysis to evaluate siRNA-mediated downregulation of MMP-3 expression and activity, and any changes in the proliferative and apoptotic responses associated with this reduced expression. RESULTS Pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β, tumour necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ, at relatively low concentrations) induced MMP-3 mRNA and protein expression, and increased MMP-3 activity and cell proliferation, but not apoptosis. MMP-3 silencing produced a potent and significant suppression of cytokine-induced MMP-3 expression and activity, decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. These effects were rescued by application of exogenous MMP-3. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that pro-inflammatory cytokines induce MMP-3-regulated cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis effects in odontoblast-like cells derived from embryonic stem cells, in addition to their well-documented destructive role in inflammation.

Abstract
A partial amino acid sequence of acid phosphatase-1(1) (apase-1(1)), one of acid phosphatase isozymes of tomato, was identified. This information enabled us to synthesize degenerated primer pools of oligonucleotides for polymerase chain reactions (PCR) using cDNA for poly(A)+ RNA of tomato leaves as a template. As a result, a 135-bp, then a 467-bp PCR product were obtained. Nucleotide sequencing of these two PCR products gave a total of 522-bp sequence that was identified as a part of the Asp-1(1) gene judging from the amino acid sequence deduced from it. Using the 135-bp PCR product as a probe, we detected the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in two different lines of tomato by genomic Southern blot analysis. We also did pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and Southern blot analysis to search for suitable fragments to clone into a YAC vector. As a result, a single band with a size that could be cloned into a YAC vector was detected when the genomic DNA was digested with some kinds of restriction enzymes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been shown to have combinatorial trophic effects with dental pulp stem cells for pulp regeneration. The aim of this investigation is to examine the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in vitro and in vivo compared with those of G-CSF and to assess the potential utility of bFGF as an alternative to G-CSF for pulp regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five different types of cells were examined in the in vitro effects of bFGF on cell migration, proliferation, anti-apoptosis, neurite outgrowth, angiogenesis, and odontogenesis compared with those of G-CSF. The in vivo regenerative potential of pulp tissue including vasculogenesis and odontoblastic differentiation was also compared using an ectopic tooth transplantation model. RESULTS Basic fibroblast growth factor was similar to G-CSF in high migration, proliferation and anti-apoptotic effects and angiogenic and neurite outgrowth stimulatory activities in vitro. There was no significant difference between bFGF and G-CSF in the regenerative potential in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The potential utility of bFGF for pulp regeneration is demonstrated as a homing/migration factor similar to the influence of G-CSF.
