Objectives. Enhanced migration and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are beneficial for MSC-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration, a promising method for periodontitis treatment. FBXO5, a member of the F-box protein family, is involved in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Here, we investigated the effect of FBXO5 on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Materials and Methods. hPDLSCs were isolated from periodontal ligament tissue. Lentivirus FBXO5 shRNA was used to silence FBXO5 expression. Two transcripts of FBXO5 were overexpressed and transduced into hPDLSCs via retroviral infection. Migration and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs were evaluated using the scratch migration assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, alizarin red staining, western blotting, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results. The expression of FBXO5 was upregulated after osteogenic induction in hPDLSCs. FBXO5 knockdown attenuated migration, inhibited ALP activity and mineralization, and decreased RUNX2, OSX, and OCN expression, while the overexpression of two transcript isoforms significantly accelerated migration, enhanced ALP activity and mineralization, and increased RUNX2, OSX, and OCN expression in hPDLSCs. Conclusions. Both isoforms of FBXO5 promoted the migration and osteogenic differentiation potential of hPDLSCs, which identified a potential target for improving periodontal tissue regeneration.

Periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (PDLSCs) have been reported as a useful cell source for periodontal tissue regeneration. However, one of the issues is the difficulty of obtaining a sufficient number of PDLSCs for clinical application because very few PDLSCs can be isolated from PDL tissue of donors. Therefore, we aimed to identify a specific factor that converts human PDL cells into stem-like cells. In this study, microarray analysis comparing the gene profiles of human PDLSC lines (2-14 and 2-23) with those of a cell line with a low differentiation potential (2-52) identified the imprinted gene mesoderm-specific transcript (MEST). MEST was expressed in the cytoplasm of 2-23 cells. Knockdown of MEST by siRNA in 2-23 cells inhibited the expression of stem cell markers, such as CD105, CD146, p75NTR, N-cadherin, and NANOG; the proliferative potential; and multidifferentiation capacity for osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. On the other hand, overexpression of MEST in 2-52 cells enhanced the expression of stem cell markers and PDL-related markers and the multidifferentiation capacity. In addition, MEST-overexpressing 2-52 cells exhibited a change in morphology from a spindle shape to a stem cell-like round shape that was similar to 2-14 and 2-23 cell morphologies. These results suggest that MEST plays a critical role in the maintenance of stemness in PDLSCs and converts PDL cells into PDLSC-like cells. Therefore, this study indicates that MEST may be a therapeutic factor for periodontal tissue regeneration by inducing PDLSCs.

HPDLSCs derived from periodontal ligament tissues contribute to tooth development and tissue regeneration. Exploring the effects of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the process of osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells would provide novel therapeutic strategies for tissue regeneration. The expression levels of lncRNA, which significantly changed during osteogenic differentiation, were observed by real-time quantitative PCR (q-PCR). Then, we screened for osteogenic-related lncRNA, which was initially named lncRNA-TWIST1. Moreover, we detected the mRNA expression levels of TWIST1 and osteogenesis-related genes after upregulating and downregulating lncRNA-TWIST1 in PPDLSCs (periodontal mesenchymal stem cells from periodontitis patients) and HPDLSCs (periodontal mesenchymal stem cells from healthy microenvironment), respectively. The osteogenic degree was verified by detecting ALP activity and alizarin red staining. LncRNA-TWIST1 decreased the mRNA levels of TWIST1 and promoted osteogenic differentiation in PPDLSCs, which was confirmed by the increase in osteogenesis-related gene levels (Runx2, ALP, and OCN), the increase in ALP activity, and the formation of more osteogenic nodules. In contrast, downregulating lncRNA-TWIST1 decreased the expression of osteogenesis-related genes, ALP activity, and osteogenic nodules both in PPDLSCs and in HPDLSCs. LncRNA-TWIST1 promoted osteogenic differentiation both in PPDLSCs and in HPDLSCs by inhibiting the TWIST1 expression. LncRNA-TWIST1 may be a novel therapeutic strategy to regenerate dental tissues.

This study was to determine whether microRNA (miRNA)-126 regulates osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Rat BMSCs were extracted and stimulated for osteogenic differentiation. Functional experiments were conducted to assess miR-126’s impact on BMSCs differentiation. Western blot and RT-qPCR determined miR-126 expression. ALP activity detection and alizarin red staining detection were also performed. After osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, miR-126 expression was gradually decreased over time. Overexpression of miR-26 decreased ALP activity, Notch signaling activity as well as declined Runx2 expression and calcium Salt nodules after treatment. Importantly, we found that Smad4 serves as a target of miR-126 while upregulation of the miRNA was accompanied with the decreased Smad4 protein expression without affecting the Smad4 mRNA level. In conclusion, miR-126 restrains osteogenic differentiation through inhibition of SMAD4 signaling, providing a novel insight into the mechanism.

AbstractMultipotent porcine mesenchymal stem cells (pMSC) are indispensable for research and therapeutic use. Derivation and culture media might affect the selection of MSC subpopulation and thus the differentiation potential of cells. In this study we evaluated the effects of αMEM, aDMEM, M199, αMEM/M199, aDMEM/M199 and αMEM/aDMEM media on porcine bone marrow MSC derivation; pre-differentiation expression of ALP, COL1A1, SPP1 and BGLAP osteogenic marker genes at passage 5 and 10 pMSC; and differentiation potential of passage 5 pMSC. Morphological changes and matrix formation in osteogenic cells were evaluated by microscopical examination and calcium deposit in osteocytes was confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining. Results indicated media independent selection of different bone marrow MSC subpopulations with different surface marker gene expressions. Many pMSC subpopulations in different media had CD14+ expressing cells. We also observed basal media dependent changes in osteogenic markers expression and differentiation potential of pMSC. The αMEM/aDMEM media grown pMSC showed best osteogenic differentiation potential. We thus recommended the testing of αMEM/aDMEM mixed media in other species for pre-differentiation MSC culture that are intended for better osteogenic differentiation.SummaryPre-differentiation basal media influence osteogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Among the tested media, αMEM/aDMEM was the best for pre-differentiation porcine MSC culture intending to use in osteogenesis.

We aimed to explore the effects of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on osteogenic differentiation via analyzing miR-3148 expression in patients with osteoporosis. Realtime quantitative PCR was conducted for assessing microRNA-3148 expression. BMSCs from SD rats were transfected with microRNA-3148 mimics and microRNA-3148 inhibitor via liposomal trans-fection method utilizing Lipo2000, followed by analysis of microRNA-3148 level. After 10-days of osteogenic differentiation induction, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red (ARS) staining were done to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential. Simultaneously, qRT-PCR measured the expression of osteogenesis marker genes (BMP and Runx2) in each group. qRT-PCR analysis revealed a high expression of miR-3148 in the bone tissue and the serum samples from patients with osteoporosis in comparison with healthy individuals. In addition, miRNA-3148 mimics could retard the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while microRNA-3148 inhibitor could prompt the procedure. MicroRNA-3148 was highly expressed in the skeletal tissues and the serum samples from patients with osteoporosis and it could restrain the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, suggesting that it might be a novel therapeutic target for treating osteoporosis.

ABSTRACTMultipotent porcine mesenchymal stem cells (pMSC) are invaluable for research and therapeutic use in regenerative medicine. Media used for derivation and expansion of pMSC may play an important role for the selection of MSC subpopulation at an early stage and thereby, the specific basal medium may also affect differentiation potential of these cells. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of αMEM, aDMEM, M199, αMEM/M199, aDMEM/M199 and αMEM/aDMEM media on (1) porcine bone marrow MSC derivation; (2) expression of number of osteogenic markers (ALP, COL1A1, SPP1 and BGLAP) at 5th and 10th passage in pMSC before differentiation; and (3) differentiation of pMSC (at 5th passage) to osteogenic lineage. Morphological changes and matrix formation in osteogenic cells were evaluated by microscopic examination. Calcium deposits in osteocytes were confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining. Based on expression of different markers, it was evident that selection of bone marrow pMSC subpopulations was independent of basal media used. However, the differentiation of those pMSCs, specifically to osteogenic lineage, was dependent on the medium used for expansion of pMSC at the pre-differentiation stage. We demonstrated here that the pMSC grown in combined αMEM/aDMEM (1:1) medium expressed number of osteogenic markers and these pMSC underwent osteogenic differentiation most efficiently, in comparison to porcine mesenchymal stem cells grown in other media. In conclusion, osteogenic differentiation potential of pMSC maintained in αMEM/aDMEM medium was observed significantly higher compared to cells cultivated in other media and therefore, the combined medium αMEM/aDMEM (1:1) may preferentially be used for expansion of pMSC, if needed for osteogenic differentiation.

Objective To investigate the effects of the flavonoid, puerarin, on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Methods Human PDLSCs were isolated from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, and the cell surface markers CD146, CD34, CD45, and STRO-1 were identified by immunofluorescence. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured, and calcium deposition was detected by alizarin red staining. PCR was then used to detect the distributions of COL-I, OPN, Runx2, and OCN, genes related to osteogenic differentiation. Results Staining was positive for cytokines CD146, CD34, CD45, and STRO-1 in the experimental group; staining was also positive for silk protein, but negative for keratin. After 7 days of culture, exposure to puerarin significantly promoted the level of intracellular ALP; increased puerarin concentration led to increased intracellular ALP. Red mineralized nodules appeared upon exposure to puerarin and the number of nodules was concentration-dependent. PCR analysis revealed that COL-I, OPN, Runx2, and OCN expression levels increased as puerarin concentration increased. Conclusions Exposure to puerarin can promote proliferation and ALP activity in human PDLSCs, thus promoting both molecular and osteogenic differentiation; these findings may provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of periodontal disease with puerarin.

Abstract Tissue engineering in the head and neck area, presents numerous advantages. One of the most remarkable advantages is that regeneration of only a small amount of tissue can be highly beneficial to the patient, particularly in the field of periodontal tissue regeneration. For decades, successful osseointegration has provided thousands of restorations that maintain normal function. With the increasing need to utilize dental implants for growing patients and enhance their function to simulate normal tooth physiology and proprioception, there appears to be an urgent need for the concept of periodontal tissue regeneration around dental implants. In the present work, 5 goats were used for immediate implant placement post canine teeth extraction. Each goat received 2 implant fixtures; the control side received a porous hollow root-form poly (DL-Lactide-co-Glycolide) scaffold around the titanium fixture, and the experimental side received the same scaffold but seeded with autogenous bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells. One animal was killed 10 days postoperatively, and the others were killed after 1 month. The results showed that on the experimental side, periodontal-like tissue with newly formed bone was demonstrated both at 10 days and after 1 month, while the control specimens showed early signs of connective tissue regeneration around the titanium fixture at 10 days, but was not shown in the 1 month specimens. It can be concluded that undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells were capable of differentiating to provide the 3 critical tissues required for periodontal tissue regeneration: cementum, bone, and periodontal ligament. This work may provide a new approach for periodontal tissue regeneration.
