The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of dental-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (d-hMSCs) in response to differently surface-treated implants and to evaluate the effect of d-hMSCs on local osteogenesis around an implant in vivo. d-hMSCs derived from alveolar bone were established and cultured on machined, sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA)-treated titanium discs with and without osteogenic induction medium. Their morphological and osteogenic potential was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) via mixing of 5 × 106 of d-hMSCs with 1 mL of Metrigel and 20 μL of gel-cell mixture, which was dispensed into the defect followed by the placement of customized mini-implants (machined, SLA-treated implants) in New Zealand white rabbits. Following healing periods of 2 weeks and 12 weeks, the obtained samples in each group were analyzed radiographically, histomorphometrically and immunohistochemically. The quantitative change in osteogenic differentiation of d-hMSCs was identified according to the type of surface treatment. Radiographic analysis revealed that an increase in new bone formation was statistically significant in the d-hMSCs group. Histomorphometric analysis was in accordance with radiographic analysis, showing the significantly increased new bone formation in the d-hMSCs group regardless of time of sacrifice. Human nuclei A was identified near the area where d-hMSCs were implanted but the level of expression was found to be decreased as time passed. Within the limitations of the present study, in this animal model, the transplantation of d-hMSCs enhanced the new bone formation around an implant and the survival and function of the stem cells was experimentally proven up to 12 weeks post-sacrifice.

Bone Homeostasis

Genetic evidence indicates that Wnt signaling is critically involved in bone homeostasis. In this study, we investigated the functions of canonical Wnts on differentiation of adult multipotent human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in vitro and in vivo. We observe differential sensitivities of hMSCs to Wnt inhibition of osteogenesis versus adipogenesis, which favors osteoblastic commitment under binary in vitro differentiation conditions. Wnt inhibition of osteogenesis is associated with decreased expression of osteoblastic transcription factors and inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, which are involved in osteogenic differentiation. An hMSC subpopulation exhibits high endogenous Wnt signaling, the inhibition of which enhances osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in vitro. In an in vivo bone formation model, high levels of Wnt signaling inhibit de novo bone formation by hMSCs. However, hMSCs with exogenous expression of Wnt1 but not stabilized β-catenin markedly stimulate bone formation by naive hMSCs, arguing for an important role of a canonical Wnt gradient in hMSC osteogenesis in vivo.

Strain Gradients

Cyclic and low-magnitude loading promotes osteogenesis (i.e. new bone formation). Normal strain, strain energy density and fatigue damage accumulation are typically considered as osteogenic stimuli in computer models to predict site-specific new bone formation. These models however had limited success in explaining osteogenesis near the sites of minimal normal strain, for example, neutral axis of bending. Other stimuli such as fluid motion or strain gradient also stimulate bone formation. In silico studies modeled the new bone formation as a function of fluid motion, however, computation of fluid motion involves complex mathematical calculations. Strain gradients drive fluid flow and thus can also be established as the stimulus. Osteogenic potential of strain gradients is however not well established. The present study establishes strain gradients as osteogenic stimuli. Bending-induced strain gradients are computed at cortical bone cross-sections reported in animal loading in vivo studies. Correlation analysis between strain gradients and site of osteogenesis is analyzed. In silico model is also developed to test the osteogenic potential of strain gradients. The model closely predicts in vivo new bone distribution as a function of strain gradients. The outcome establishes strain gradient as computationally easy and robust stimuli to predict site-specific osteogenesis. The present study may be useful in the development of biomechanical approaches to mitigate bone loss.

Abstract Objectives:This study aims to investigate whether ARC could promote survival and enhance osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Material and methods:Lentivirus transfection method was used to establish ARC overexpressed BMSCs. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation. The BD Pharmingen™ APC Annexin V Apoptosis Detection kit was used to detect cell apoptosis. The osteogenic capacity was investigated by OCN immunofluoresence staining, ALP, ARS assay and RT-PCR analysis. Cells were seeded into CPC scaffolds, then inserted into subcutaneous of nude mice and the defect area of rat’s calvarium. Histological analysis was conducted to evaluate in vivo cell apoptosis and new bone formation ability of ARC overexpressed BMSCs. RNA-seq method was used to detect the possible mechanism of the effect of ARC on BMSCs. Results:ARC can promote BMSCs proliferation and inhibit its cell apoptosis. ARC can enhance BMSCs osteogenic differentiation in vitro. In vivo study revealed ARC can inhibit BMSCs’ apoptosis and increase its new bone formation ability. ARC regulates BMSCs mainly by activating Fgf-2/PI3K/Akt pathway.Conclusions: The present study suggested that ARC is a powerful agent to promote bone regeneration of BMSCs and provides a promising method for bone tissue engineering.

Decompression or healing chambers between the threads have been proposed to improve and accelerate the osseointegration process of dental implants. The aim of the present work was to test, in an in vivo sheep study, if healing chambers between the threads could produce a better osseointegration process. Thirty titanium implants (15 conventional design (control) and 15 implants with healing chambers (test)) were inserted in a random fashion in the tibia of 3 sheep. The animals were euthanized after 30 days of healing, and the retrieved specimens treated to obtain thin ground sections. Histological observations showed that the quantity of newly formed bone growing in an apical direction was lower in the control group (1095 µm) when compared to the Test group (1658 µm). This difference was statistically significant. Moreover, a layer of osteogenic matrix was present around the portion of implants immersed in the marrow spaces. This osteogenic tissue was thicker in the test group. In conclusion, the present study confirmed the very good results in implants with healing chambers that presented a higher percentage of new bone formation.
