Project description:Dental follicle is a loose connective tissue that surrounds the developing tooth. Dental follicle cells (DFCs) have a promising potential for tissue engineering applications including periodontal and bone regeneration. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying osteogenic differentiation. In a previous study we detected that more than 35 % of genes that are regulated during osteogenic differentiation of DFCs have promoter binding sites for the transcription factors TP53 and SP1. However, the role of these transcription factors in dental stem cells is still unknown. We hypothesize that both factors influence the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation in dental stem cells. Therefore, we transiently transfected DFCs and dental pulp stem cells (SHED; Stem cells from human exfoliated decidiuous teeth) with expression vectors for these transcription factors. After overexpression of SP1 and TP53, SP1 influenced cell proliferation and TP53 osteogenic differentiation in both dental cell types. The effects on cell proliferation and differentiation were less pronounced after siRNA mediated silencing of TP53 and SP1. This indicates that the effects we observed after TP53 and SP1 overexpression are indirect and subject of complex regulation. Interestingly, upregulated biological processes in DFCs after TP53-overexpression resemble the downregulated biological processes in SHED after SP1-overexpression. Here, regulated processes are involved in cell motility, wound healing and programmed cell death. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that SP1 and TP53 influence cell proliferation and differentiation and similar biological processes in both SHED and DFCs. Total RNAs were isolated from dental follicle cells after 48 hours of transfection with a TP53 expressions plasmid, a SP1 expressions plasmid and for control with an empty vector.

Project description:The current global situation points to the trend of the aging population. Along with the growth of population diseases, the pressure to develop new cell-based or drug-based therapies is increasing. One from main challenges in the field of regenerative medicine is large bones healing and osteoporosis, mainly postmenopausal women, treatment. To understand molecular processes which underlying bone development and turnover, osteogenic differentiation using specific media was applied. Differentiation process imitating real osteogenesis is associated with proteome and metabolome changes resulting in various signaling pathways activation. Proteome was profiled by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and comprehensively quantified by ion mobility enhanced mass spectrometry. From 2267 reproducibly quantified proteins, 432 were differentially abundant by strict statistic and effect size criteria. Metabolome profiling was carried out nuclear magnetic resonance in resulting 27 reproducibly quantified metabolites. From them, 8 were statistically significant and differentially abundant. KEGG and MetaboAnalyst analysis indicated several metabolic pathways involved in osteogenic process. Enrichment analysis of differentialy abundant proteins reported PPAR, FoxO, IL-7 signaling pathways, thyroid hormones and steroid biosynthesis, mineral absorption, JAK-STAT and fatty acid degradation pathways as cascades with prominent impact to osteoinduction. Among them, enrichment analysis of significant metabolites showed Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis as well as Valine, leucine, isoleucine metabolism together with phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophane metabolism as pathways which promotes osteodifferentiation. Moreover, we also selected few identified pathways which do not reported enrichment score, but have been described in the literature as majority. These cascades underline the complexity of the whole potential osteogenic mechanism. We also proposed promising targets for next validation in patient samples, what is step forward to influence of bone and/or oral defects.
Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the gene expression profiles of dental follicle and periodontal ligament in humans, which can possibly explain their functions of dental follicle and PDL such as eruption coordination and stress resorption. That may apply this information to clinical problem like eruption disturbance and to periodontal tissue engineering. PDL samples were obtained from permanent premolars (n=11) and dental follicle samples were obtained during extraction of supernumerary teeth (n=4). Comparative cDNA microarray analysis revealed several differences in gene expression between permanent PDL and dental follicles.
Project description:Ability to perform osteogenic differentiation is one of the minimal criteria of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Still, it is generally unknown whether osteogenic differentiation is universal cell fate or various phenotypically similar cell states. Besides this, MSCs and their secretomes are actively using for cell/cell-free therapy development, but systemic inter-source variation in MSCs secretomes, proteomes and differentiation mechanisms are still poorly understood. Therefore, here we compared proteomic and secretomic profiles of human mesenchymal cells from six sources: osteoblasts (bone), WJ-MSCs (Warton’s jelly), AD-MSCs (adipose), PDLSCs (tooth: Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells), DPSCs (tooth: Dental Pulp Stem Cells) and GFs (tooth: Gingival Fibroblasts). For experiments we used cells in early passages (3-5) isolated from 3-6 individuals. All cells were compared in standard cultivation and in the 10th day after induction of osteogenic differentiation.
Project description:To see the effect of zoledronate on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Cells were first cultured in normal media until enough cells were obtained. Then the cells were differentiated into ostepbalst under the effect of low concentration of zoledronate.
Project description:The aim of this study is to characterize how the extracellular matrix secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) during osteogenesis affects the differentiation process. Specifically, ADSC undergo osteogenesis by following similar maturational phases as bone marrow-derived stem cells. However, it is unclear how the differentiation process is the same and how it differs. We first focused on ADSC behavior by analyzing whole transcriptome changes in response to osteogenic media supplements added into the tissue culture medium. We then developed osteogenic differentiation expression profiles for the ADSC and identify key genes and pathways that serve as an osteogenesis signature. This expression signature acted as a template for comparison of how extracellular matrix (ECM) affected ADSC differentiation. We studied ADSC induced to differentiate on ECM isolated from day 16 in the differentiation process (the midpoint in osteogenesis) as well as ECM from day 11 in the differentiation process. Ultimately, we aim to dissect the relationship between cells grown on ECM as an in vitro growth substrate and cells grown on tissue culture plastic; both in the presence of osteogenic supplements. This study, will allow us to determine the extent to which ECM affects the differentiation process.
