ABSTRACT

Severe muscle injury is hard to heal and always results in a poor prognosis. Recent studies found that extracellular vesicle-based therapy has promising prospects for regeneration medicine, however, whether extracellular vesicles have therapeutic effects on severe muscle injury is still unknown. Herein, we extracted apoptotic extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-ApoEVs) to treat cardiotoxin induced tibialis anterior (TA) injury and found that MSCs-ApoEVs promoted muscles regeneration and increased the proportion of multinucleated cells. Besides that, we also found that apoptosis was synchronized during myoblasts fusion and MSCs-ApoEVs promoted the apoptosis ratio as well as the fusion index of myoblasts. Furthermore, we revealed that MSCs-ApoEVs increased the relative level of creatine during myoblasts fusion, which was released via activated Pannexin 1 channel. Moreover, we also found that activated Pannexin 1 channel was highly expressed on the membrane of myoblasts-derived ApoEVs (Myo-ApoEVs) instead of apoptotic myoblasts, and creatine was the pivotal metabolite involved in myoblasts fusion. Collectively, our findings firstly revealed that MSCs-ApoEVs can promote muscle regeneration and elucidated that the new function of ApoEVs as passing inter-cell messages through releasing metabolites from activated Pannexin 1 channel, which will provide new evidence for extracellular vesicles-based therapy as well as improving the understanding of new functions of extracellular vesicles.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To compare the consistency of the biological widths measured by using cone-beam CT (CBCT) and periodontal probe in patients with two different gingival biotypes.@*Methods@#Totally 27 patients [13 males, 14 females, (37.6±13.7) years old], who planned to receive the crown lengthening surgery, were recruited under the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Department of Periodontology, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University during November 2017 to June 2018. A total of 40 teeth (14 front teeth, 26 posterior teeth) were involved in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their gingival biotypes: thin gingival biotype [5 males, 8 females, (40.2±15.0) years old, 21 teeth] and thick gingival biotype [8 males, 6 females, (35.1±11.9) years old, 19 teeth]. All the teeth were checked before crown lengthening procedures by using CBCT, and the biological widths and sulcus depths were measured during the surgery by using periodontal probes (Hu-Friedy, U S A). The data were recorded and statistically analyzed.@*Results@#There were no significant differences of the biological widths between the two measuring methods amongst all of the 40 teeth [periodonial probe: (1.64±0.26) mm; CBCT: (1.69±0.20) mm], amongst 21 thin gingival biotype teeth [periodontal probe: (1.49±0.19) mm; CBCT: (1.57±0.12) mm] and amongst 19 thick gingival biotype teeth [periodontal probe: (1.80±0.21) mm; CBCT: (1.87±0.18) mm] (P>0.05). There were no significant differences of the biological widths [anterior teeth: (1.59±0.15) mm, posterior teeth: (1.67±0.29) mm, P=0.42] and of the sulcus depths [anterior teeth: (2.00±0.28) mm, posterior teeth: (2.11±0.43) mm, P=0.44] between anterior teeth and posterior teeth. The difference of biological widths, measured by two methods respectively, between thin and thick gingival biotype groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). There were significant differences of the sulcus depths, measured by the periodontal probes, between the thin [(1.93±0.28) mm] and thick [(2.24±0.41) mm] gingival biotype groups (P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#The biological widths measured by CBCT is consistent with those measured by using periodontal probes. The biological widths and the depths of the sulcus of thin and thick gingival biotypes are different.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effect of cell-to-cell communication amongst single-cell clones from healthy periodontium with different osteogenic differentiation potentials on change of osteogenic differentiation capabilities and the role histone acetyltransferase partaken in this process.@*Methods@#In order to research the change of osteogenic differentiation ability via cell-to-cell communication, indirect co-culture method was used by placing two single-cell clones with different osteogenesis potentials in each of the 6-well plates. Blank control, weak and strong osteogenic groups were set up, corresponding to Transwell chambers with blank, cells of weak osteogenesis ability and cells of strong osteogenesis ability, respectively. Each group was made in triplicate. After co-culture for four days, Transwell chamber was removed. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and alizarin red staining were employed to detect the change of osteogenic differentiation ability. The acetylation level of H3 was measured by using Western blotting. Histone acetyltransferases were detected by qPCR.@*Results@#Single-cell clones were ensured from mesenchymal stem cells by flow cytometer, the positive expression of CD29, CD90, CD105, CD146 was (99.80±0.02)%, (99.36±0.18)%, (99.41±0.05)% and (95.10±2.11)%, respectively. And CD31 and CD34 expression were (0.29±0.11)% and (0.22±0.13)%, respectively. Alizarin red and oil red O staining confirmed that single-cell clones had the abilities of adipogenesis and osteogenesis. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining indicated that different single-cell clones were heterogeneity in osteogenesis differentiation. Indirect co-culture indicated that the mRNA expression of osteocalcin (OCN) were 14.24±5.60 and 4.78±2.90, respectively and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) were 2.75±1.44 and 1.61±0.44, respectively, in strong and weak osteogenic groups. They were significantly higher compared to the blank group (the mRNA expression of OCN and RUNX2 were 1.00±0.47 and 1.00±0.39, respectively). The expression of OCN and RUNX2 were also higher in strong osteogenic group than that in weak osteogenic group (P<0.05). The mean gray level of the acetylation of H3 in strong osteogenic group (0.76±0.09) and weak osteogenic group (0.54±0.12) were also higher than that in the blank group (0.30±0.04)(P<0.05). qPCR results showed that KAT6A in strong osteogenic group exhibiting higher expression (P<0.05) compared to weak osteogenic group and the blank group, which were corresponding to the changes of acetylation levels.@*Conclusions@#Single-cell clones from healthy periodontium showed heterogeneity in osteogenic differentiation abilities. Single-cell clones with strong osteogenesis abilities had an advantage over others by promoting others' osteogenesis differentiation and this change mediated by cell-to-cell communication might be caused by modulating KAT6A to affect the acetylation level of histone.

ABSTRACT

Anterior teeth are the main zones that reflect oral aesthetics. The histological structure, outside appearance, relative ratios, and other characteristics of tissues must be understood to obtain relatively ideal and natural restoration effects. A collaboration of different disciplines must be implemented to obtain harmonious and stable restoration outcomes that help the majority appreciate beauty. This article aims to discuss the role of periodontics in this collaboration and introduce several common techniques.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway on the endothelial differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human PDLSC was cultured in the medium with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) to induce endothelial differentiation. Endothelial inducing cells was incubated with U0126, a specific p-ERK1/2 inhibitor. PDLSC from one person were randomly divided into four groups: control group, endothelial induced group, endothelial induced+DMSO group and endothelial induced+U0126 group. The protein expression of the p-EKR1/2 was analyzed by Western blotting at 0, 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours during endonthelial induction. The mRNA expressions of CD31, VE-cadherin, and VEGF were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after a 7-day induction. The proportion of CD31(+) to VE-cadherin(+) cells was identified by flow cytometry, and the ability of capillary-like tubes formation was detected by Matrigel assay after a 14-day induction. The measurement data were statistically analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Phosphorylated ERK1/2 protein level in PDLSC was increased to 1.24±0.12 and 1.03±0.24 at 1 h and 3 h respectively, during the endothelial induction (P<0.01). The mRNA expressions of CD31 and VEGF in induced+U0126 group were decreased to 0.09±0.18 and 0.49±0.17, which were both significantly different with those in induced group (P<0.05). The proportion of CD31(+) to VE-cadherin(+) cells of induced+U0126 group were decreased to 5.22±0.85 and 3.56±0.87, which were both significantly different with those in induced group (P<0.05). In Matrigel assay, the branching points, tube number and tube length were decreased to 7.0±2.7, 33.5±6.4, and (15 951.0±758.1) pixels, which were all significantly different with those in induced group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The endothelial differentiation of PDLSC is positively regulated by ERK signaling pathway. Inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation could suppress endothelial differentiation of PDLSC.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the activity of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and its effect on osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) in inflammatory microenvironment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PDLSC were obtained from the primary culture of the human tooth and cloned with limited diluted method. Real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was used to examine the different expression of thapsigargin (TG) treated PDLSC and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated PDLSC. Real-time RT-PCR, alizarin red staining and cetyl pyridine chloride quantitative analyze were used to examine the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSC, TG + PDLSC, LPS + PDLSC and LPS + PDLSC + 4-PBA.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Protein kinase receptor like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), transcription activation factor 4(ATF4), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP) mRNA expression in group PDLSC + TG in 6 h were respectively 1.49 ± 0.24, 2.77 ± 0.60, 1.75 ± 0.16, 2.16 ± 0.32, which were all greater than that in group PDLSC (P < 0.05). PERK, CHOP mRNA expression reached the peak at 6 h (1.76 ± 0.08, 2.31 ± 0.17) and were greater than group PDLSC (P < 0.05). ERS could suppress osteogenic differentiation of TG + PDLSC and LPS + PDLSC. The runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA expression of group TG + PDLSC was respectively 0.73 ± 0.06, 0.01 ± 0.00, 0.20 ± 0.06 (P < 0.05). The RUNX2, ALP, OCN mRNA expression of group LPS + PDLSC was respectively 0.80 ± 0.06, 0.48 ± 0.05, 0.29 ± 0.04 (P < 0.05). The RUNX2, ALP, OCN mRNA expression of group PDLSC + TG + 4-PBA was respectively 1.10 ± 0.09, 0.74 ± 0.05, 0.67 ± 0.13, which were greater higher than that of group LPS + PDLSC (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>ERS was activated in PDLSC and suppressed osteogenic differentiation of PDLSC, which can simulate inflammatory microenvironment in vitro. This effect can be recovered by using ERS inhibitor 4-PBA.</p>

ABSTRACT

SG600, SG900 and SG1100 were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Further treatments with increasing temperatures influenced and determined the crystallization degree of the material. Primary cultured osteoclasts were incubated for 4h and 48h on samples. Osteoclast actin labeling was examined by cytochemical staining. The concentrations of Ca and P in culture medium were quantified by colorimetric methods. SEM examined osteoclast morphology and resorption lacuna. Actin staining revealed on all three materials the typical adhesion contact ring. The Ca concentration in the culture medium of SG600 was significantly higher than that in control medium, SG900 and SG1100. Ca and P concentrations were always higher in culture media with the presence of osteoclasts. Morphological studies by scanning electron microsopy(SEM) showed a good adhesion behavior of osteoclasts on all three samples. Well-developed and deep resorption lacunae appearing after the osteoclastic resorption action were detected on all three samples. The synthetic bioglasses with different crystallizations caused different solubility, which seemed to have little effect on the osteoclast resorption behavior. The results of morphological studies on osteoclasts and resorption lacunae clearly demonstrate that the synthetic bioglasses are easily resorbed in vitro by osteoclasts.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between apoptosis and proliferation of oral mucosa in lesions of leukoplakia and the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of this common oral disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The mucosa was obtained from the leukoplakia lesions from 6 patients, with average age of 57 years, and all the patients had not received any treatment before this investigation. The lesions were located on the lip (1), gingiva (1), tongue (2) and buccal mucosa (2). All the patients did not have any systemic diseases. Other three normal oral mucosa tissues were collected as the control. In situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase end-labeling (TUNEL) and avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemical assay were used to detect single-strand DNA breaks and proliferating cell nuclear antigens (PCNA). The negative control slides were treated with the tris saline buffer to substitute the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and PCNA-Ab in the assay. Five consecutive high power fields with the magnification of 400 were used to search for positive stained keratinocytes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the normal mucosa, the keratinocytes in leukoplakia showed positive apoptotic signals in the nucleus of suprabasal epithelial layers, while PCNA-positive stain was present in the basal position. In the connective tissue, positive apoptotic signals were found in lymphocytes and the endothelia of blood vessels.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results indicate that the death of cells in leukoplakia is partly due to apoptosis which may play an important role in the genesis of oral leukoplakia.</p>
