Book Synopsis Dental and Periodontal Tissues Formation and Regeneration: Current Approaches and Future Challenges by : Giovanna Orsini
Download or read book Dental and Periodontal Tissues Formation and Regeneration: Current Approaches and Future Challenges written by Giovanna Orsini and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequential and reciprocal interactions between oral epithelial and cranial neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells give rise to the teeth and periodontium. Teeth are vital organs containing a rich number of blood vessels and nerve fibers within the dental pulp and periodontium. Teeth are composed by unique and specific collagenous (dentin, fibrillar cementum) and non-collagenous (enamel) highly mineralized extracellular matrices. Alveolar bone is another collagenous hard tissue that supports tooth stability and function through its close interaction with the periodontal ligament. Dental hard tissues are often damaged after infection or traumatic injuries that lead to the partial or complete destruction of the functional dental and supportive tissues. Well-established protocols are routinely used in dental clinics for the restoration or replacement of the damaged tooth and alveolar bone areas. Recent progress in the fields of cell biology, tissue engineering, and nanotechnology offers promising opportunities to repair damaged or missing dental tissues. Indeed, pulp and periodontal tissue regeneration is progressing rapidly with the application of stem cells, biodegradable scaffolds, and growth factors. Furthermore, methods that enable partial dental hard tissue repair and regeneration are being evaluated with variable degrees of success. However, these cell-based therapies are still incipient and many issues need to be addressed before any clinical application. The understanding of tooth and periodontal tissues formation would be beneficial for improving regenerative attempts in dental clinics. In the present e-book we have covered the various aspects dealing with dental and periodontal tissues physiology and regeneration in 6 chapters: 1. General principles on the use of stem cells for regenerating craniofacial and dental tissues 2. The roles of nerves, vessels and stem cell niches in tissue regeneration 3. Dental pulp regeneration and mechanisms of various odontoblast functions 4. Dental root and periodontal physiology, pathology and regeneration 5. Physiology and regeneration of the bone using various scaffolds and stem cell populations 6. Physiology, pathology and regeneration of enamel using dental epithelial stem cells

Abstract: Regeneration of the tissues to replace diseased, missing and traumatized dentin/pulp requires combining the recent progress in stem cell and tissue engineering research. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are considered as a promising population of cells in regenerative dentistry and shown to be able to produce dentin/pulp-like tissues following implantation in-vivo. Securing a good blood supply is critical in pulp regeneration, however, this is a challenging task due to the unique structure of the tooth, the anatomy of which permits only a microcirculatory system via a very small apical opening (In this study, for the first time, synergistic effects of DPSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on osteo/odontogenic differentiation and angiogenesis were investigated using two-dimensional and three-dimensional direct co-culture systems. Furthermore, the potential of three-dimensional DPSC constructs prevascularized with HUVECs in dental pulp regeneration in-vivo was exmined. HUVECs promoted odonto/osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in direct two-dimensional co-cultures in-vitro. Further, addition of DPSCs stabilized the pre-existing vessel-like structures formed by HUVECs and increased the longevity of these structures on matrigel in-vitro. Using two different systems, scaffold-free self-assembling microtissue spheroids and peptide hydrogel scaffold, the interactions of DPSCs and HUVECs in three-dimensional cultures were investigated. The results demonstrated that DPSCs can self assemble into three-dimensional microtissue spheroids when cultured alone or with HUVECs. DPSCs promoted survival and vascular structure formation by HUVECs both in scaffold-free microtissue spheroids and peptide hydrogel scaffold. In contrast, HUVECs, when cultured alone, neither formed vascular structures nor survived in either of the 3D systems. The latter phenomenon was attributable to vascular endothelial growth factor secreted by DPSCs, a major factor responsible for endothelial function. Co-cultures also showed enhanced odonto/osteogenic differentiation in both three-dimensional microtissue spheroid and peptide hydrogel scaffold systems. Following implantation of tooth-root fragments filled with three-dimensional DPSC constructs into the subcutaneous space of immunodefficient mice, vascularised pulp-like tissue was regenerated within the root canals. Compared to DPSC-only group, DPSC/HUVEC co-culture groups showed higher vascularisation, extracellular matrix formation and mineralization in regenerated tissue. More importantly, HUVEC-lined vascular lumens were observed in regenerated tissues suggesting the successful integration of in-vitro formed pre-vascular structures to the host vasculature. In summary, the findings suggest that DPSCs and HUVECs display significant synergy during odonto/osteogenic differentiation and ang

Download or read book Characterization of Dental Pulp Stem Cells and Their Potential Clinical Applications written by Kajohnkiart Janebodin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were first isolated and characterized from human teeth and most studies have focused on using human DPSCs for dentin regeneration. However, mouse DPSCs have not been well characterized and their origin(s) have not yet been elucidated. I examined if murine DPSCs are neural crest derived and determined their in vitro and in vivo capacity. DPSCs from neonatal mice expressed embryonic stem cell and neural crest genes, but lacked expression of mesodermal genes. Cells isolated from the Wnt1-Cre/R26R-LacZ mouse, a reporter of neural crest-derived tissues, indicated that DPSCs were Wnt1-marked and therefore of neural crest origin. Clonal DPSCs showed multi-differentiation in neural crest lineage for odontoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, neurons, and smooth muscles. In vivo subcutaneous transplantation with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate, based on tissue/cell morphology and specific antibody staining, revealed that the clones differentiated into odontoblast-like cells and produced dentin/pulp-like structure. Conversely, femur-derived bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) gave rise to osteoblast-like cells and generated bone-like structure. Interestingly, the capillary distribution in the DPSC transplants showed close proximity to odontoblasts whereas in the BMSC transplants bone condensations were distant to capillaries resembling dentinogenesis in the former vs. osteogenesis in the latter. Loss of functional salivary gland causes patients' moribidities from difficulties in swallowing and speech, as well as oral diseases. Stem cell therapy is considered a potential therapeutic alternative. However, combinatory approaches including not only salivary gland stem cells but also supportive cells and appropriate extracellular matrix are necessary to form a functional salivary gland. Like tooth formation, the development of salivary gland requires epithelium interacting with neural crest-derived mesenchyme. I used the human salivary gland (HSG) cell line as a model to study the effects of DPSCs on salivary gland differentiation. In vitro differentiation on matrigel showed that HSG alone and HSG co-cultured with Wnt1-Cre/R26R-LacZ derived DPSCs (HSG+DPSC) differentiated into acinar-like structures. However, HSG formed more mature (higher expression of LAMP-1 and CD44), larger and increased numbers of acini in HSG+DPSC. Subcutaneous co-transplantation of HSG and DPSCs with hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels after 2 weeks was evaluated by Q-RT-PCR, morphology and immunohistology. Compared to HSG transplants which only showed undifferentiated tumor-like cells, HSG+DPSC demonstrated (1) higher expression of murine mesenchymal marker Fgf-7, (2) higher expression of mature human salivary gland differentiation marker alpha-amylase-1 (AMY-1), (3) higher expression of murine endothelial, vWF, neuronal, NF-200, and angiogenic markers, Vegfr-3 and Vegf-c, (4) mucin-secreting acinar- and duct-like structures with abundant blood vessels at the interface with DPSCs, and (5) more mature glandular structures double-positive for salivary gland differentiation markers CD44 and LAMP-1. These results indicate that DPSCs supported and enhanced HSG differentiation into functional salivary gland tissue. In addition, DPSCs have previously demonstrated potential pericyte-like topography and function. However, the mechanisms regulating their pericyte function are still yet to be elucidated. DPSC angiogenic and pericyte function were investigated Tie2-GFP derived dental pulp cells were negative for GFP driven by the endothelial Tie2 transgene, indicating an absence of endothelial cells. Endothelial cells co-cultured with DPSCs formed more mature in vitro tube-like structures as compared to those co-cultured with BMSCs. Many DPSCs were located adjacent to vascular tubes, suggesting a pericyte location and function. In vivo DPSCs subcutaneously transplanted in matrigel (MG) (DPSC-MG) induced more vessel formation than BMSC-MG. DPSCs expressed higher Vegfd, Vegfr3, EphrinB2 levels. Soluble Flt (sFlt), an angiogenic inhibitor that binds VEGF-A, significantly decreased the amount of blood vessels in DPSC-MG, but not in BMSC-MG. sFlt inhibited VEGFR2 and downstream ERK signaling and down-regulated Vegfa, Vegf receptors and EphrinB2 expression in DPSCs. Therefore, DPSC-induced angiogenesis is VEGF-dependent. DPSCs enhance angiogenesis by secreting VEGF-A, -C, -D and forming tight associations with vessels, resembling pericyte-like cells. Taken together, I demonstrate the existence of neural crest-derived DPSCs with differentiation capacity into cranial mesenchymal tissues and other neural crest-derived tissues. I also illustrate the potential of DPSCs as inductive mesenchyme for salivary gland regeneration, repair, and tissue engineering, and provide first insights into the mechanism(s) of DPSC angiogenic capacity and their function as pericytes. DPSCs hold promise as a stem cell source for regenerating neural crest derived tissues, and the trophic and angiogenic properties of DPSCs also highlight this stem cell source useful for tissue regeneration.
