Bone formation involves a complex crosstalk between endothelial cells (EC) and osteodifferentiating stem cells. This functional interplay is greatly mediated by the paracrine and autocrine action of soluble factors released at the vasculature-bone interface. This study elucidates the molecular and functional responses triggered by this intimate interaction. In this study, we showed that human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) induced the expression of pro-angiogenic factors in stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and sustain their osteo-differentiation at the same time. In contrast, osteodifferentiating SHED increased EC recruitment and promoted the formation of complex vascular networks. Moreover, HMEC enhanced anaerobic glycolysis in proliferating SHED without compromising their ability to undergo the oxidative metabolic shift required for adequate osteo-differentiation. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the synergistic cooperation between EC and stem cells during bone tissue renewal.

Diabetes is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and ischemic vascular diseases. Recently, regenerative medicine is expected to be a novel therapy for ischemic diseases. Our previous studies have reported that transplantation of stem cells promoted therapeutic angiogenesis for diabetic neuropathy and ischemic vascular disease in a paracrine manner, but the precise mechanism is unclear. Therefore, we examined whether secreted factors from stem cells had direct beneficial effects on endothelial cells to promote angiogenesis. The soluble factors were collected as conditioned medium (CM) 48 h after culturing stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in serum-free DMEM. SHED-CM significantly increased cell viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in MTT assays and accelerated HUVECs migration in wound healing and Boyden chamber assays. In a Matrigel plug assay of mice, the migrated number of primary endothelial cells was markedly increased in the plug containing SHED-CM or SHED suspension. SHED-CM induced complex tubular structures of HUVECs in a tube formation assay. Furthermore, SHED-CM significantly increased neovascularization from the primary rat aorta, indicating that SHED-CM stimulated primary endothelial cells to promote comprehensive angiogenesis processes. The angiogenic effects of SHED-CM were the same or greater than the effective concentration of VEGF. In conclusion, SHED-CM directly stimulates vascular endothelial cells to promote angiogenesis and is promising for future clinical application.

: 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.
