Background: The effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on cell proliferation and osteogenic potential (OP) of MSCs have been frequently studied. Objective: to compare the effects of LPS on periodontal-ligament-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) in monolayer and 3D culture. Methods: The PDLSCs were colorimetrically assessed for proliferation and osteogenic potential (OP) after LPS treatment. The 3D cells were manually prepared by scratching and allowing them to clump up. The clumps (C-MSCs) were treated with LPS and assessed for Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and OP. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze calcium salts, DNA, and proline/hydroxyproline. Multiplexed ELISA was performed to assess LPS induced local inflammation. Results: The proliferation of PDLSCs decreased with LPS. On Day 28, LPS-treated cells showed a reduction in their OP. C-MSCs with LPS did not show a decrease in ATP production. Principal bands identified in Raman analysis were the P–O bond at 960 cm−1 of the mineral component, 785 cm−1, and 855 cm−1 showing qualitative changes in OP, proliferation, and proline/hydroxyproline content, respectively. ELISA confirmed increased levels of IL-6 and IL-8 but with the absence of TNF-α and IL-1β secretion. Conclusions: These observations demonstrate that C-MSCs are more resistant to the effects of LPS than cells in monolayer cell culture. Though LPS stimulation of C-MSCs creates an early pro-inflammatory milieu by secreting IL-6 and IL-8, PDLSCs possess inactivated TNF promoter and an ineffective caspase-1 activating process.

<p>The present study was aimed at investigating whether human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (hPDLSCs) were capable of sensing and reacting to lipopolysaccharide from <em>Porphyromonas</em> <em>gingivalis</em> (LPS-G) which is widely recognized as a major pathogen in the development and progression of periodontitis. At this purpose hPDLCs were stimulated with 5 μg/mL LPS-G various times and the expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was evaluated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in innate immune signaling in response to microbial infections, and in particular TLR4, type-I transmembrane proteins, has been shown recognizing LPS-G. Our results put in evidence, in treated samples, an overexpression of TLR4 indicating that, hPDLSCs express a functional TLR4 receptor. In addition, LPS-G challenge induces a significant cell growth decrease starting from 24 h until 72 h of treatment. LPS-G leads the activation of the TLR4/MyD88 complex, triggering the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines cascade as: IL-1α, IL-8, TNF-α and β and EOTAXIN. Moreover, the upregulation of pERK/ERK signaling pathways and NFkB nuclear translocation was evident. On the basis of these observations, we conclude that hPDLSCs could represent an appropriate stem cells niche modeling leading to understand and evaluate the biological mechanisms of periodontal stem cells in response to LPS-G, mimicking <em>in vitro </em>an inflammatory process occurring <em>in viv</em>o in periodontal disease.</p>

Abstract BackgroundPeriodontal disease is a common disease that compromises the integrity of tooth-supporting tissues. Bone regeneration is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapies, in which osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells plays a critical role. The tripartite motif (TRIM)16 is downregulated in periodontal tissues of patients with periodontitis and involved in osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs).However, the role of TRIM16 in the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) is largely unknown.MethodshPDLSCs were isolated and identified by immunophenotype assays using flow cytometry. Overexpression plasmids and specific short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were constructed to manipulate the expression of target molecules. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining (ARS) and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to evaluate osteogenic potential capacity. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analysis were performed to determine the expression of osteogenic-related markers and activation of relevant signaling pathways. Co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the interactions between proteins and the ubiquitination of RUNX2. A LC-MS/MS analysis was performed to explore the different expression proteins in present of TRIM16.ResultsTRIM16 significantly promoted alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralized nodule formation, and positively regulated the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by enhancing protein expression of RUNX2, COL1A1 and OCN. Mechanistically, TRIM16 serves as a pivotal factor that stabilizes RUNX2 protein levels by decreasing CHIP-mediated K48-linked ubiquitination degradation of the RUNX2 protein. Besides, TRIM16 significantly increased expression of COL1A1 via activation of p38MAPK/RUNX2.ConclusionThis study identified a novel mechanism of TRIM16 in regulating stability of the RUNX2 protein, which may promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. TRIM16 may be a potential target of stem cell based-bone regeneration for periodontal therapies.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of calcium silicate-based sealers (CeraSeal and EndoSeal TCS) and epoxy resin-based sealer (AH-Plus) in terms of cell viability, inflammatory response, expression of mesenchymal phenotype, osteogenic potential, cell attachment, and morphology, of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). hPDLSCs were acquired from the premolars (n = 4) of four subjects, whose ages extended from 16 to 24 years of age. Flow cytometry analysis showed stemness of hPDLSCs was maintained in all materials. In cell viability test, AH-Plus showed the lowest cell viability, and CeraSeal showed significantly higher cell viability than others. In ELISA test, AH-Plus showed higher expression of IL-6 and IL-8 than calcium silicate-based sealers. In an osteogenic potential test, AH-Plus showed a lower expression level than other material; however, EndoSeal TCS showed a better expression level than others. All experiments were repeated at least three times per cell line. Scanning electronic microscopy studies showed low degree of cell proliferation on AH-Plus, and high degree of cell proliferation on calcium silicate-based sealers. In this study, calcium silicate-based sealers appear to be more biocompatible and less cytotoxic than epoxy-resin based sealers.

Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) play an important role in periodontal tissue homeostasis and regeneration. The function of these cells in vivo depends largely on their immunomodulatory ability, which is reciprocally regulated by immune cells via cytokines, particularly interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-1β. Different cytokines activate distinct signaling pathways and might differently affect immunomodulatory activities of hPDLSCs. This study directly compared the effect of IFN-γ, TNF-α, or IL-1β treated primary hPDLSCs on allogenic CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis in an indirect co-culture model. The effects of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1β on the expression of specific immunomodulatory factors such as intoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) and ligand 2 (PD-L2) in hPDLSCs were compared. The contribution of different immunomodulatory mediators to the immunomodulatory effects of hPDLSCs in the indirect co-culture experiments was assessed using specific inhibitors. Proliferation of CD4+ T lymphocytes was inhibited by hPDLSCs, and this effect was strongly enhanced by IFN-γ and IL-1β but not by TNF-α. Apoptosis of CD4+ T lymphocytes was decreased by hPDLSCs per se. This effect was counteracted by IFN-γ or IL-1β. Additionally, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1β differently regulated all investigated immunomediators in hPDLSCs. Pharmacological inhibition of immunomediators showed that their contribution in regulating CD4+ T lymphocytes depends on the cytokine milieu. Our data indicate that inflammatory cytokines activate specific immunomodulatory mechanisms in hPDLSCs and the expression of particular immunomodulatory factors, which underlies a complex reciprocal interaction between hPDLSCs and CD4+ T lymphocytes.
