Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on the biological properties of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs), such as viability, adhesion to dentin, odontoblast-like differentiation, mineralization, and release of immunomodulatory cytokines. DESIGN SCAPs were isolated from immature teeth of three donors (10 to 15 years old) and cultured in mineralizing media with or without 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells were seeded and cultured under standardized conditions; viability was assessed by MTT assay on days 1, 3, 5, and 7; adhesion to dentin was analyzed using an environmental scanning electron microscope after 2 days; the expression of odontogenic and mineralization genes (DSPP, DMP-1, OCN, Col1A1) was evaluated through qPCR after 14 days, mineralization was evaluated with alizarin red staining after 21 days; and the release of immunomodulatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-10) was measured by ELISA after 1 and 7 days. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to detect the effect of LPS on SCAPs, followed by the Dunn-Sidak test. RESULTS LPS presence in the culture media affected SCAPs viability on day 5 and increased IL-6 secretion by day 7, however, SCAPs retained the adhesion to dentin and mineralization capacities, as well as the differentiation capacity into a mineralizing phenotype. CONCLUSION In conclusion, within the limitations of this in vitro study, and under the inflammatory microenvironment simulated in this study, stem cells from the apical papilla were found with retained adhesion capacity to dentin, differentiation into a mineralizing phenotype, mineralization, and release of IL-10.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess whether the biological characteristics of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), such as viability, adhesion to dentin, mineralization, and release of immunomodulatory cytokines, are affected by the inflammatory status of the donor tissue and/or the sustained inflammatory environment. METHODS DPSCs were isolated from pulps from 3 caries-free teeth (healthy or hDPSCs), and from 3 teeth with irreversible pulpitis or deep caries (unhealthy DPSCs or uDPSCs). The cells were cultured in odontogenic and osteogenic media with or without lipopolysaccharides. Viability was analyzed by MTT assay at days 1, 3, 5, and 7; adhesion to dentin was evaluated through an environmental scanning electron microscope after 48 hours and through MTT assay; mineralization was analyzed with alizarin red staining after 21 days; and the release of proinflammatory (interleukin 6) and immunosuppressive cytokines (interleukin 10) was measured with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 24 hours and 7 days. RESULTS The inflammatory status of the pulp significantly reduced the viability and mineralization capacity of the DPSCs, although it did not affect the adhesion capacity to dentin or the secretion of the proinflammatory interleukin. The inflammatory microenvironment (lipopolysaccharide) only had a significant impact on the secretion of interleukin 6, which was augmented after 7 days. CONCLUSIONS The inflammatory status of the dental pulp should be taken into account when the use of DPSCs is intended either for research and/or for application in reparative or regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Wrist shape varies greatly across primates and previous studies indicate that the numerous morphological differences among them are related to a complex mixture of phylogeny and function. However, little is known about whether the variation in these various anatomical differences is linked and to what extent the wrist bones vary independently. Here, we used 3D geometric morphometrics on a sample of extant hominines (Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla, and Gorilla beringei), to find the model that best describes the covariation patterns among four of the eight carpals (i.e., capitate, lunate, scaphoid, and trapezium). For this purpose, 15 modular hypotheses were tested using the Covariance Ratio. Results indicate that there is a covariation structure common to all hominines, which corresponds to stronger covariation within each carpal as compared to the covariation between carpals. However, the results also indicate that that there is a degree of codependence in the variation of some carpals, which is unique in humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas, respectively. In humans there is evidence of associated shape changes between the lunate and capitate, and between the scaphoid and trapezium. This covariation between lunate and capitate is also apparent in gorillas, while chimpanzees display the greatest disassociation among carpals, showing low covariation values in all pairwise comparisons. Our analyses indicate that carpals have an important level of variational independence which might suggest a high degree of independent evolvability in the wrists of hominines, and that although weak, the structure of associated changes of these four carpals varies across genera. To our knowledge this is the first report on the patterns of modularity between these four wrist bones in the Homininae and future studies might attempt to investigate whether the anatomical shape associations among carpals are functionally related to locomotion and manipulation.

Caveolae are small-membrane invagination that contribute both to buffering excessive contraction-dependent membrane strain and to initiation of membrane repair. Moreover, they constitute micro-domains where receptors and ion channels are clustered, favouring their functional interaction. Caveolin-3 (Cav3) is the key structural component of muscular caveolae. Mutations in Cav3 gene are associated with alterations of the skeletal muscle architecture leading to some rare forms of hereditary skeletal myopathies and/or cardiomyopathies called caveolinopathies. Notably, skeletal muscle dysfunctions usually precede cardiac dysfunctions, even though the mutated Cav3 is expressed in both cell types.
An important difference between skeletal fibers and cardiomyocytes is that in the latter, caveolin-1 (Cav1) participates with Cav3 to form caveolae; skeletal myotubes instead do not express Cav1.The delay or lack of onset of cardiac alterations in caveolinopathies may depend on a preserved micro-domains organization in the heart compared to skeletal muscle, due to Cav1 expression. We decided to focus on a specific mutation T78K found in heterozygous in a patient with Ripple muscle disease and hyperCKemia. We have characterized human cardiomyocytes (CM) differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from this patient and one healthy control. In particular, we have investigated which caveolin isoforms are expressed at day 30 of differentiation, finding both Cav1 and Cav3, with a significant decrease of Cav3 isoform in T78K-CM. Their different expressions significantly increase T78K membrane resistance (3.27 ± 0.6 GΩ versus 1.64 ± 0.4 GΩ in the CTRL-CM), and consequently membrane excitability. The T78K_CM showed an increase spontaneous beating rate compared to CTRL (1,75± 0,08 Hz and 0,89 ± 0,4 Hz, respectively).
Previous laboratory analysis conducted in caveolin-free MEF cells, co-transfected with WT and T78K Cav3 mutation, revealed that the T78K mutant is dominant, inducing the retention of WT Cav3 in the perinuclear areas and causes significant reduction in current density of three ion channels (HCN4, Kv1.5 and Kir2.1) known to interact with caveolins. The dominant decreased in cav3 expression is in line with previous data in skeletal muscle biopsy, however, electrophysiological data would be likely incompatible with life. For this reason, we decided to compare the impact of this mutation in CHO cells that exhibit high levels of Cav1, and in cav-1 expressing MEF line. In these systems, the membrane localization of Cav3 T78K is rescued both in heterozygous and homozygous conditions. In line with caveolin membrane expression, HCN4, Kv1.5 and Kir2.1 density is also rescued to normal levels. These results constitute the first evidence of a possible role of Cav1 in compensating membrane disorganization and disfunction due to Cav3 mutations in the heart, making this organ less susceptible to caveolinopathies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to describe the insertion sites of the ligaments holding the flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis muscles (flexor ridges) in proximal phalanges 2-5 of African apes and modern humans. To interpret differences in flexor ridge size based on general behavioral differences among taxa. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 3D models of manual proximal phalanges 2-5 from 29 gorillas (Gorilla beringei and Gorilla gorilla), 30 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and 36 recent modern humans. Flexor ridges (mm2) were compared within and across genera. RESULTS Gorillas and chimpanzees had larger flexor ridges for phalanges 2-4 than humans and this difference subsists when controlling for body size. Each genus had a unique insertion size pattern across the digits, with the most heterogeneous pattern found in chimpanzees, followed by humans, and lastly gorillas. These patterns corresponded strongly to the differences in the size of the phalanges within each genus, except for phalanx 5 in humans, which had a larger flexor ridge than expected. DISCUSSION When comparing these genera, the flexor ridges signal differences between taxa that use their hands for manipulation and locomotion (gorillas and chimpanzees) and taxa that use them exclusively for manipulation (humans). This functional signal was also apparent in the PP5 of humans, whose larger FR may be indicating the high recruitment of this digit during forceful precision grip characteristic of humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We analyzed the main anatomical traits found in the human frontal bone by using a geometric morphometric approach. The objectives of this study are to explore how the frontal bone morphology varies between the sexes and to detect which part of the frontal bone are sexually dimorphic. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample is composed of 161 skulls of European and North American individuals of known sex. For each cranium, we collected 3D landmarks and semilandmarks on the frontal bone, to examine the entire morphology and separate modules (frontal squama, supraorbital ridges, glabellar region, temporal lines, and mid-sagittal profile). We used Procrustes ANOVAs and LDAs (linear discriminant analyses) to evaluate the relation between frontal bone morphology and sexual dimorphism and to calculate precision and accuracy in the classification of sex. RESULTS All the frontal bone traits are influenced by sexual dimorphism, though each in a different manner. Variation in shape and size differs between the sexes, and this study confirmed that the supraorbital ridges and glabella are the most important regions for sex determination, although there is no covariation between them. The variable size does not contribute significantly to the discrimination between sexes. Thanks to a geometric morphometric analysis, it was found that the size variable is not an important element for the determination of sex in the frontal bone. CONCLUSION The usage of geometric morphometrics in analyzing the frontal bone has led to new knowledge on the morphological variations due to sexual dimorphism. The proposed protocol permits to quantify morphological covariation between modules, to calculate the shape variations related to sexual dimorphism including or omitting the variable size.

Abstract
We used the Dynamic Clamp technique for i) comparative validation of conflicting computational models of the hyperpolarization-activated funny current, If, and ii) quantification of the role of If in mediating autonomic modulation of heart rate. Experimental protocols based on the injection of a real-time recalculated synthetic If current in sinoatrial rabbit cells were developed. Preliminary results of experiments mimicking the autonomic modulation of If demonstrated the need for a customization procedure to compensate for cellular heterogeneity. For this reason, we used a cell-specific approach, scaling the maximal conductance of the injected current based on the cell's spontaneous firing rate. The pacemaking rate, which was significantly reduced after application of Ivabradine, was restored by the injection of synthetic current based on the Severi-DiFrancesco formulation, while the injection of synthetic current based on the Maltsev-Lakatta formulation did not produce any significant variation. A positive virtual shift of the If activation curve, mimicking the Isoprenaline effects, led to a significant increase in pacemaking rate (+17.3 ± 6.7%, p < 0.01), although of lower magnitude than that induced by real Isoprenaline (+45.0 ± 26.1%). Similarly, a negative virtual shift of the activation curve significantly lowered the pacemaking rate (-11.8 ± 1.9%, p < 0.001), as did the application of real Acetylcholine (-20.5 ± 5.1%). The Dynamic Clamp approach, applied to the If study in cardiomyocytes for the first time and rate-adapted to manage intercellular variability, indicated that: i) the quantitative description of the If current in the Severi-DiFrancesco model accurately reproduces the effects of the real current on rabbit sinoatrial cell pacemaking rate and ii) a significant portion (50-60%) of the physiological autonomic rate modulation is due to the shift of the If activation curve.

Abstract
Ivabradine is a 'heart rate-reducing' agent able to slow heart rate, without complicating side-effects. Its action results from a selective and specific block of pacemaker f-channels of the cardiac sinoatrial node (SAN). Investigation has shown that block by ivabradine requires open f-channels, is use dependent, and is affected by the direction of current flow. The constitutive elements of native pacemaker channels are the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, of which four isoforms (HCN1-4) are known; in rabbit SAN tissue HCN4 is expressed strongly, and HCN1 weakly. In this study we have investigated the blocking action of ivabradine on mouse (m) HCN1 and human (h) HCN4 channels heterologously expressed in HEK 293 cells. Ivabradine blocked both channels in a dose-dependent way with half-block concentrations of 0.94 microm for mHCN1 and 2.0 microm for hHCN4. Properties of block changed substantially for the two channels. Block of hHCN4 required open channels, was strengthened by depolarization and was relieved by hyperpolarization. Block of mHCN1 did not occur, nor was it relieved, when channels were in the open state during hyperpolarization; block required channels to be either closed, or in a transitional state between open and closed configurations. The dependence of block upon current flow was limited for hHCN4, and not significant for mHCN1 channels. In summary our results indicate that ivabradine is an 'open-channel' blocker of hHCN4, and a 'closed-channel' blocker of mHCN1 channels. The mode of action of ivabradine on the two channels is discussed by implementing a simplified version of a previously developed model of f-channel kinetics.

Abstract
The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) family of "pacemaker" channels includes 4 isoforms, the kinetics and cAMP-induced modulation of which differ quantitatively. Because HCN isoforms are highly homologous in the central region, but diverge more substantially in the N and C termini, we asked whether these latter regions could contribute to the determination of channel properties. To this aim, we analyzed activation/deactivation kinetics and the response to cAMP of heterologously expressed isoforms mHCN1 and rbHCN4 and verified that mHCN1 has much faster kinetics and lower cAMP sensitivity than rbHCN4. We then constructed rbHCN4 chimeras by replacing either the N or the C terminus, or both, with the analogous domains from mHCN1. We found that: 1) replacement of the N terminus (chimera N1-4) did not substantially modify either the kinetics or cAMP dependence of wild-type channels; 2) replacement of the C terminus, on the contrary, resulted in a chimeric channel (4-C1), the kinetics of which were strongly accelerated compared with rbHCN4, and that was fully insensitive to cAMP; 3) replacement of both N and C termini led to the same results as replacement of the C terminus alone. These results indicate that the C terminus of rbHCN4 contributes to the regulation of voltage- and cAMP-dependent channel gating, possibly through interaction with other intracellular regions not belonging to the N terminus.

Abstract
Hyperpolarization-activated (pacemaker) channels are dually gated by negative voltage and intracellular cAMP. Kinetics of native cardiac f-channels are not compatible with HH gating, and require closed/open multistate models. We verified that members of the HCN channel family (mHCN1, hHCN2, hHCN4) also have properties not complying with HH gating, such as sigmoidal activation and deactivation, activation deviating from fixed power of an exponential, removal of activation "delay" by preconditioning hyperpolarization. Previous work on native channels has indicated that the shifting action of cAMP on the open probability (Po) curve can be accounted for by an allosteric model, whereby cAMP binds more favorably to open than closed channels. We therefore asked whether not only cAMP-dependent, but also voltage-dependent gating of hyperpolarization-activated channels could be explained by an allosteric model. We hypothesized that HCN channels are tetramers and that each subunit comprises a voltage sensor moving between "reluctant" and "willing" states, whereas voltage sensors are independently gated by voltage, channel closed/open transitions occur allosterically. These hypotheses led to a multistate scheme comprising five open and five closed channel states. We estimated model rate constants by fitting first activation delay curves and single exponential time constant curves, and then individual activation/deactivation traces. By simply using different sets of rate constants, the model accounts for qualitative and quantitative aspects of voltage gating of all three HCN isoforms investigated, and allows an interpretation of the different kinetic properties of different isoforms. For example, faster kinetics of HCN1 relative to HCN2/HCN4 are attributable to higher HCN1 voltage sensors' rates and looser voltage-independent interactions between subunits in closed/open transitions. It also accounts for experimental evidence that reduction of sensors' positive charge leads to negative voltage shifts of Po curve, with little change of curve slope. HCN voltage gating thus involves two processes: voltage sensor gating and allosteric opening/closing.
