Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) or dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from permanent teeth are considered promising sources of mesenchymal stem cells. It requires a less invasive technique to isolate stem cells from exfoliated or permanent teeth. Hence this study aimed to identify the present status of research on the regenerative potential of SHED/DPSCs in Malaysia. The results indicate that only 60 articles were published in regenerative medicine from Malaysia till 5th July 2019. Only 16 tertiary institutes and four industries/clinics were involved in these studies. A poor pattern of collaboration has also been identified. Outcomes of this study have emphasized the conduction of more research on the regenerative potential of SHED/DPSCs, and active collaboration among the tertiary institutes and industries for successful translation of these cells from bench side to bedside.

Understanding how Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) form blood vessels is critical for creating mechanism-based approaches for the therapeutic use of these cells. In addition, understanding the determinants and factors involved in lineage hierarchy is fundamental to creating accurate and reliable techniques for the study of stem cells in tissue engineering and repair. Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) from permanent teeth and Stem cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth (SHED) are particularly interesting sources for tissue engineering as they are easily accessible and expandable. Previously, we have shown that DPSCs and SHEDs can differentiate into endothelial cells and form functional blood vessels through vasculogenesis. Here, we described how we created the “pulpbow” (pulp + rainbow), a multicolor tag experimental model that is stable, permanent, unique to each cell and passed through generations. We used the pulpbow to understand how dental pulp stem cells contributed to blood vessel formation in 3D models in in vitro and ex vivo live cell tracking, and in vivo transplantation assays. Simultaneous tracking of cells during sprout formation revealed that no single multicolor-tagged cell was more prone to vasculogenesis. During this process, there was intense cell motility with minimal proliferation in early time points. In later stages, when the availability of undifferentiated cells around the forming sprout decreased, there was local clonal proliferation mediated by proximity. These results unveiled that the vasculogenesis process mediated by dental pulp stem cells is dynamic and proximity to the sprouting area is critical for cell fate decisions.

: Most conventional treatments for neurodegenerative diseases fail due to their focus on neuroprotection rather than neurorestoration. Stem cell‐based therapies are becoming a potential treatment option for neurodegenerative diseases as they can home in, engraft, differentiate and produce factors for CNS recovery. Stem cells derived from human dental pulp tissue differ from other sources of mesenchymal stem cells due to their embryonic neural crest origin and neurotrophic property. These include both dental pulp stem cells [DPSCs] from dental pulp tissues of human permanent teeth and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth [SHED]. SHED offer many advantages over other types of MSCs such as good proliferative potential, minimal invasive procurement, neuronal differentiation and neurotrophic capacity, and negligible ethical concerns. The therapeutic potential of SHED is attributed to the paracrine action of extracellularly released secreted factors, specifically the secretome, of which exosomes is a key component. SHED and its conditioned media can be effective in neurodegeneration through multiple mechanisms, including cell replacement, paracrine effects, angiogenesis, synaptogenesis, immunomodulation, and apoptosis inhibition, and SHED exosomes offer an ideal refined bed-to-bench formulation in neurodegenerative disorders. However, in spite of these advantages, there are still some limitations of SHED exosome therapy, such as the effectiveness of long-term storage of SHED and their exosomes, the development of a robust GMP-grade manufacturing protocol, optimization of the route of administration, and evaluation of the efficacy and safety in humans. In this review, we have addressed the isolation, collection and properties of SHED along with its therapeutic potential on in vitro and in vivo neuronal disorder models as evident from the published literature.

Aim. To compare the effects of various mesenchymal stem cells, those isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), and dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs), on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).Method. Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from three sources in the orofacial region. Characterization and PCR analyses were performed. Lymphocytes were isolated from healthy peripheral venous blood. Lymphocytes were cocultured with stem cells in the presence and absence of IFN-γand stimulated with anti-CD2, anti-CD3, and anti-CD28 for 3 days. Then, lymphocyte proliferation, the number of CD4+FoxP3+T regulatory cells, and the levels of Fas/Fas ligand, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-γin the culture supernatant were measured.Results. The DFSCs exhibited an enhanced differentiation capacity and an increased number of CD4+FoxP3+T lymphocytes and suppressed the proliferation and apoptosis of PBMCs compared with SHEDs and DPSCs. The addition of IFN-γaugmented the proliferation of DFSCs. Furthermore, the DFSCs suppressed IL-4 and IFN-γcytokine levels and enhanced IL-10 levels compared with the other cell sources.Conclusion. These results suggest that IFN-γstimulates DFSCs by inducing an immunomodulatory effect on the PBMCs of healthy donors while suppressing apoptosis and proliferation and increasing the number of CD4+FoxP3+cells.

Objective: To isolate dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from non-infected human permanent and deciduous teeth. Methods: It was an in-vitro experimental study. Human teeth were collected from 13 apparently healthy subjects including nine adults and four children. After decoronation dental pulps were extirpated from teeth and cultured via explant method in a stem cell defined media. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: As above MSCs emerged exhibiting fibroblast-like morphology. In vitro culture was positive for 100% (9/9) and 75% (3/4) of the permanent and deciduous teeth respectively. First cell appeared from deciduous teeth pulp in 10±6.2 days while permanent teeth pulp took 12.4±3.7 days. Together, 26.6±3.6 and 24.5±3.5 days were required for permanent and deciduous tooth pulp stem cells to be ready for further assays. Conclusions: The protocol we developed is easy and consistent and can be used to generate reliable source of MScs for engineering of calcified and non-calcified tissue for regenerative medicine approaches. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.540 How to cite this:Naz S, Khan FR, Zohra RR, Lakhundi SS, Khan MS, Mohammed N, et al.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential, and are considered a promising cell population for cell-based therapy and tissue regeneration. MSCs are isolated from various organs including dental pulp, which originates from cranial neural crest-derived ectomesenchyme. Recently, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) have been isolated from dental pulp tissue of adult permanent teeth and deciduous teeth, respectively. Because of their MSC-like characteristics such as high growth capacity, multipotency, expression of MSC-related markers, and immunomodulatory effects, they are suggested to be an important cell source for tissue regeneration. Here, we review the features of these cells, their potential to regenerate damaged tissues, and the recently acquired understanding of their potential for clinical application in regenerative medicine.

Abstract Background Human mesenchymal stem cells from dental pulp (hMSC-DP), including dental pulp stem cells from permanent teeth and exfoliated deciduous teeth, possess unique MSC characteristics such as expression of specific surface molecules and a high proliferation rate. Since hMSC-DP have been applied in numerous clinical studies, it is necessary to establish criteria to evaluate their potency for cell-based therapies. Methods We compared stem cell properties of hMSC-DP at passages 5, 10 and 20 under serum (SE) and serum-free (SF) culture conditions. Cell morphology, proliferation capacity, chromosomal stability, surface phenotypic profiles, differentiation and immunoregulation ability were evaluated. In addition, we assessed surface molecule that regulates hMSC-DP proliferation and immunomodulation. Results hMSC-DP exhibited a decrease in proliferation rate and differentiation potential, as well as a reduced expression of CD146 when cultured under continuous passage conditions. SF culture conditions failed to alter surface marker expression, chromosome stability or proliferation rate when compared to SE culture. SF-cultured hMSC-DP were able to differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic and neural cells, and displayed the capacity to regulate immune responses. Notably, the expression level of CD146 showed a positive correlation with proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation, suggesting that CD146 can serve as a surface molecule to evaluate the potency of hMSC-DP. Mechanistically, we found that CD146 regulates proliferation and immunomodulation of hMSC-DP through the ERK/p-ERK pathway. Conclusion This study indicates that SF-cultured hMSC-DP are appropriate for producing clinical-grade cells. CD146 is a functional surface molecule to assess the potency of hMSC-DP.

As pesquisas com células-tronco, seja de origem dental ou não, vêm crescendo na área da odontologia nos últimos anos em decorrência das possibilidades terapêuticas que a utilização desse tipo celular oferece. Este estudo visa demonstrar um panorama brasileiro das pesquisas com células-tronco realizadas no país por pesquisadores da área da odontologia nos anos de 2014 até 2018, com base nos anais de trabalhos apresentados nas Reuniões Anuais da Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica (SBPqO). Foi analisado aspectos como tipo de instituição, se as pesquisas foram financiadas e qual a agencia de fomento, tipo de estudo, estado e região que desenvolveu a pesquisa, tipo de célula e fonte da célula-tronco utilizada. Foram analisados um total de 15,214 resumos, deste total 96 estudos foram incluídos por se enquadrarem com os critérios de inclusão. A região Sudeste foi responsável por 65,7% dessa produção. As pesquisas realizadas nas instituições estaduais representaram 42,7% da produção nacional e 59,4% dos trabalhos foram financiados. As células-tronco humanas foram o tipo mais utiilizado, especialmente as originadas da polpa dentária (25%). Conclui-se que há uma escassez da produção científica voltada para as células-tronco na odontologia, bem como a necessidade de descentralização dessa produção nas demais regiões brasileiras.Descritores: Células-Tronco; Odontologia; Pesquisa em Odontologia.ReferênciasGronthos S, Mankani M, Brahim J, Robey PG, Shi S.
