Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the main causes of tooth loss and is related to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Although different treatments have been proposed in the past, the vast majority do not regenerate lost tissues. In this sense, the use of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DPMSCs) seems to be an alternative for the regeneration of periodontal bone tissue. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a sample of 22 adults between 55 and 64 years of age with PD, without uncontrolled systemic chronic diseases. Two groups were formed randomly: (i) experimental group (EG) n=11, with a treatment based on DPMSCs; and a (ii) control group (CG) n=11, without a treatment of DPMSCs. Every participant underwent clinical and radiological evaluations and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by tomography. Saliva samples were taken as well, to determine the total concentration of antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipoperoxides, and interleukins (IL), before and 6 months after treatment. All subjects underwent curettage and periodontal surgery, the EG had a collagen scaffold treated with DPMSCs, while the CG only had the collagen scaffold placed. The EG with DPMSCs showed an increase in the BMD of the alveolar bone with a borderline statistical significance (baseline 638.82±181.7 vs. posttreatment 781.26±162.2 HU, p=0.09). Regarding oxidative stress and inflammation markers, salivary SOD levels were significantly higher in EG (baseline 1.49±0.96 vs. 2.14±1.12 U/L posttreatment, p<0.05) meanwhile IL1β levels had a decrease (baseline 1001.91±675.5vs. posttreatment 722.3±349.4 pg/ml, p<0.05). Our findings suggest that a DPMSCs treatment based on DPMSCs has both an effect on bone regeneration linked to an increased SOD and decreased levels of IL1β in aging subjects with PD.

Objective To report a case of successful allogeneic grafting of mesenchymal dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) as preliminary findings in a patient with periodontal disease enrolled into clinical trial ISRCTN12831118. Methods Mesenchymal stem cells from the dental pulp of a deciduous tooth from a 7-year-old donor were separated from the pulp chamber and processed via enzymatic digestion and centrifugation. DPSCs were passaged and cultured on a 35 × 13 mm culture dish in minimum essential medium-alpha, without supplementation. After reaching 80% confluency, 5 x 106 allogeneic DPSCs in 250 µl phosphate buffered saline were seeded onto a dry scaffold of lyophilized collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone sponge placed in the left lower premolar area of a 61-year-old patient with periodontal disease. Surgical access to the lower premolar area was achieved using the flap technique. Results At 3 and 6 months following allogeneic graft, the patient showed no sign of rejection and exhibited decreases in tooth mobility, periodontal pocket depth and bone defect area. Bone mineral density had increased at the graft site. Conclusions Regenerative periodontal therapy using DPSCs of allogeneic origin may be a promising treatment for periodontal disease-induced bone defects.

Abstract Background Defects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in proliferation and differentiation are involved in the pathophysiology of aplastic anemia (AA). Infusion of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) may improve the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in childhood severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Methods We conducted an investigator-initiated, open-label, and prospective phase IV trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination of allogenic UC-MSCs and standard IST for pediatric patients with newly diagnosed SAA. In mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) group, UC-MSCs were injected intravenously at a dose of 1 × 106/kg per week starting on the 14th day after administration of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG), for a total of 3 weeks. The clinical outcomes and adverse events of patients with UC-MSCs infusion were assessed when compared with a concurrent control group in which patients received standard IST alone. Results Nine patients with a median age of 4 years were enrolled as the group with MSC, while the data of another 9 childhood SAA were analysed as the controls. Four (44%) patients in MSC group developed anaphylactic reactions which were associated with rabbit ATG. When compared with the controls, neither the improvement of blood cell counts, nor the change of T-lymphocytes after IST reached statistical significance in MSC group (both p > 0.05) and there were one (11%) patient in MSC group and two (22%) patients in the controls achieved partial response (PR) at 90 days after IST. After a median follow-up of 48 months, there was no clone evolution occurring in both groups. The 4-year estimated overall survival (OS) rate in two groups were both 88.9% ± 10.5%, while the 4-year estimated failure-free survival (FFS) rate in MSC group was lower than that in the controls (38.1% ± 17.2% vs. 66.7% ± 15.7%, p = 0.153). Conclusions Concomitant use of IST and UC-MSCs in SAA children is safe but may not necessarily improve the early response rate and long-term outcomes. This clinical trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02218437 (registered October 2013).

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have self-renewal potential with multi-directional differentiation. Progranulin prevents bone degradation, inhibits inflammation and protects bone tissue. However, the role of Progranulin in osteoporotic BMSCs is unclear. Osteoporosis (OP) rat models were prepared by ovarian removal and treated with different doses (5 and 10 μM) of Progranulin followed by analysis of BMP-2 level by ELISA, bone mineral density and ALP activity. OP rat BMSCs were isolated and assigned into control group and Progranulin group followed by analysis of Progranulin level by ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, RUNX2 and COL1A1 mRNA level by Real time PCR, and PI3K/Akt/PPARγ signaling protein level by Western blot. Progranulin treatment of OP rats dose-dependently increased BMP-2 expression, bone density and ALP activity. Compared with OP group, there were significant differences (P <0.05). Progranulin expression and BMSCs proliferation was increased, and RUNX2 and COL1A1 mRNA expression was elevated in Progranulin-treated OP group along with increased PI3K/Akt expression and decreased PPARγ protein expression. Compared with OP group, the difference was statistically significant, and the change was more significant with increasing concentration (P <0.05). Progranulin promotes BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and proliferation by regulating PI3K/Akt/PPARγ signaling pathway, which is beneficial for OP rats’ bone synthesis.

Cellular behavior is dependent on a variety of physical cues required for normal tissue function. In order to mimic native tissue environments, human alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hABMSCs) were exposed to orbital shear stress (OSS) in a low-speed orbital shaker. The synergistic effects of OSS on proliferation and differentiation of hABMSCs were investigated. In particular, we induced the osteoblastic differentiation of hABMSCs cultured in the absence of OM by exposing hABMSCs to OSS (0.86–1.51 dyne/cm2). Activation of Cx43 was associated with exposure of hABMSCs to OSS. The viability of cells stimulated for 10, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min/day increased by approximately 10% compared with that of control. The OSS groups with stimulation of 10, 30, and 60 min/day had more intense mineralized nodules compared with the control group. In quantification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) protein, VEGF protein levels under stimulation for 10, 60, and 180 min/day and BMP-2 levels under stimulation for 60, 120, and 180 min/day were significantly different compared with those of the control. In conclusion, the results indicated that exposing hABMSCs to OSS enhanced their differentiation and maturation.

Objective: The goal of regenerative endodontic therapy is biological healing of the pulp tissue. It involves the disinfection of the canals with irrigantsand medicaments. The medicaments that are currently used for this purpose are a triple antibiotic paste (TAP), calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2), andLedermix®, a paste containing demeclocycline and triamcinolone. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of TAP, Ca(OH)2, andLedermix® on the viability of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC).Methods: Primary cultures of DPSC were obtained from immature third molars. Immunofluorescence assay using STRO-1 marker was performedto confirm the mesenchymal nature of the DPSC. The cells were exposed to TAP, Ca(OH)2, and Ledermix® at concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg/mL. Cellviability was analyzed using the MTT assay.Results: Significant differences in viability were noted between the cells exposed to the medicaments and those in the control group (p<0.05).Conclusions: All three medicaments decreased the viability of DPSC, with the Ledermix® paste demonstrating the highest toxic effect.

The article examines the clinical and roentgenological changes in the periodontal tissues of laboratory animals when mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are used.The aim of the study is to create a model of experimental periodontitis and identify the characteristics of clinical and radiological changes in periodontal tissues when applying a biomedical cell product based on allogeneic mesenchymal adipose stem cells (AT MSCs).During the examination of the clinical and radiological changes in the periodontal tissues ofexperimental animals with formed bone defects filled with AT MSCs, it was found that the mucous membrane regeneration time in the surgical area was comparable in all main groups of animals. Postoperative gum recession was observed in the control group animals. The significant differences between the clinical pictures in groups I–IV during all observation periods after surgery were not revealed. However, the restoration process signs in the post-resection area found during the roentgenological examination in the groups using osteoinduced MSCs, as well as a mixture of MSC cultures and osteo-induced MSCs, were most pronounced, which is confirmed by the bone mineral density.The experimental periodontitis model, which could be used for assessing the bone tissue restoration processes of a labioratory animal, was developed. Thus, the use of collagen membranes with a suspension of allogeneic osteo-induced AT MSCs cultures, as well as membranes with a suspension of a mixture of allogeneic and allogeneic osteo-induced AT MSCs in the ratio of 1:1 allows achieving higher bone tissue recovery rates.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro behavior of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (hDPSCs) cultured on scaffolds of three hydroxyapatite-based materials: hydroxyapatite microspheres [HAp]; amoxicillin-hydroxyapatite composite [Amx-HAp]; and collagen-hydroxyapatite composite [Col-HAp]. These hydroxyapatites (HAps) were synthesized through three methods: microwave hydrothermal, hydrothermal reactor (teflon pouches), and precipitation, respectively. We performed an in vitro experimental study using dental pulp stem cells obtained from samples of third molars and characterized by immunophenotypic analysis. Cells were cultured on scaffolds with osteogenic differentiation medium and were maintained for 21 days. Cytotoxicity analysis and migration assay of hDPSCs were evaluated. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. Data analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn’s post-hoc test. After 21 days of induction, no differences in genes expression were observed. hDPSCs highly expressed the collagen IA and the osteonectin at the mRNA, which indicated these genes plays an important role in odontogenesis regardless of induction stimulus. Cytotoxicity assay using hDPSCs demonstrated that Col-HAp group presented a number of non-viable cells statistically lower than the control group (p=0.03). In the migration assay after 24h, biomaterials HAp, Amx-HAp, and Col-HAp revealed the same migration behavior for hDPSCs observed to the positive control. Col-HAp also provided a statistically significant higher migration of hDPSCs than HAp (p=0.02). The migration results in 48h for HAp, Amx-HAp, and Col-HAp was intermediate from those achieved by control groups. There was no statistical difference between positive control and Col-HAp (p>0.05). In general, Col-HAp scaffold showed better features for these dynamic parameters of cell viability and cell migration capacities for hDPSCs, leading to suitable adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of this osteogenic lineage. These data present high clinical importance because Col-HAp can be used in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, including ridge preservation, minor bone augmentation, and periodontal regeneration.

ObjectiveStudies have shown that the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are mediated in a paracrine manner, mainly through extracellular vesicles such as exosomes. Here, we designed a study to investigate whether exosomes derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC-Exos) had protective effects in a rat model of radiation-induced brain injury and in microglia.MethodsMale adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control group, the radiation group (30 Gy), and the radiation + exosomes group (30 Gy + 100 ug exosomes). Meanwhile, microglia were divided into four groups: the control group, the radiation group (10 Gy), the radiation + exosomes group (10 Gy + 4 ug exosomes), and radiation + exosomes + EX527 group (10 Gy + 4 ug exosomes + 100 nM EX527). Tissue samples and the levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in each group were compared.ResultsStatistical analysis showed that after irradiation, ADMSC-Exos intervention in vivo significantly reduced the levels of caspase-3, malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and promoted the recovery of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), IL-4, and IL-10. Moreover, ADMSC-Exos intervention inhibited microglial infiltration and promoted the expression of SIRT1. Furthermore, the results in vitro showed that the above effects of ADMSC-Exos could be reversed by SIRT-1 inhibitor EX527.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that ADMSC-Exos exerted protective effects against radiation-induced brain injury by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and microglial infiltration via activating the SIRT1 pathway. ADMSC-Exos may serve as a promising therapeutic tool for radiation-induced brain injury.

Oxidative stress affects bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). YAP is an effector in Hippo signaling, but its’ role in BMSCs osteogenesis/adipogenesis under oxidative stress has not been reported. Mice BMSCs were isolated and assigned into 3 groups, normal control group; oxidative stress group; and YAP group (transfected with YAP plasmid) followed by analysis of YAP expression by Real time PCR. After 14 days of osteogenesis or adipogenic induction, RUNX2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 mRNA level was measured along with ROS and SOD activities, ALP activity and Wnt5 expression by western blot. Under oxidative stress, YAP expression significantly decreased, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA expression decreased, ROS expression increased, SOD activity decreased, FABP4 and PPARγ2 protein expression increased, ALP activity and Wnt5 expression decreased (P <0.05). YAP plasmid transfection could significantly up-regulate YAP, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA level, decrease ROS, increase SOD and ALP activity, reduce FABP4 and PPARγ2 mRNA expression and increase Wnt5 expression (P <0.05). YAP level in BMSCs is decreased under oxidative stress. Up-regulating YAP can improve the redox balance, promote BMSCs osteogenic differentiation under oxidative stress and inhibit their differentiation to adipocytes.
