Project description:This study investigates the proteomic profiles of horse tooth tissues, including pulp, dentin, cementum, and enamel, with a focus on the effects of age and disease. We analyzed tissue samples from young, old, and diseased teeth to explore how aging and disease influence protein expression across these dental tissues. The goal was to identify tissue-specific proteomic signatures and potential biomarkers associated with age-related changes and dental diseases. The findings offer insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying tooth aging and disease, providing a foundation for future studies on equine dental health and potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a relatively recently described dental disorder, commonly found in horses above the age of 15 years old (Carsten Staszyk et al. 2008). The disease was first categorised as EOTRH in 2008, following the identification of clinical cases involving severe resorptive lesions and cementomas forming on the lower portion of equine incisors (Kreutzer et al. 2007) (Baratt 2007). The two main disease indicators are resorptive lesions caused by odontoclasts and hypercementosis, characterised by reparative/irregular cementum deposition, forming bulbous-like features (Schätzle, Tanner, and Bosshardt 2005). Horses with severe EOTRH often present dysphagia, pain whilst eating and behavioral changes, which may lead to further unrelated complications (Earley and Rawlinson 2013). Some suggested that Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds are more commonly diagnosed (Sykora et al, 2014; Smedley et al, 2015; Lorello et al, 2016; Earley et al, 2017), although others state there are no appar¬ent breed associations (James, 2022; Tretow et al, 2023). Furthermore, in a limited group of Icelandic horses, a diagnosis was established in 72.2% of cases (Tretow, Hain, and Bienert-Zeit 2023). While radiography is the primary diagnostic method for EOTRH after clinical examination, recent studies have indicated that this approach may lack sensitivity for early disease detection, potentially impeding treatment if the condition has advanced significantly (Albers, Bienert-Zeit, and Staszyk 2022). A comparable ailment observed in cats is Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL). In this species there was a prevalence of 29% , and similar to EOTRH, it exhibited an elevated risk associated with age (Gorrel 2014). The underlying causes of EOTRH are not yet fully understood with many potential factors considered, including age, sex, breed, diet and environment (Pearson et al. 2013). One of the first theories suggest a sequence of events beginning with periodontal inflammation leading to resorptive lesions and subsequent cementum production (Carsten Staszyk et al. 2008). Other studies found gram-negative bacteria (Treponema, Tannerella) were more commonly identified in the gingival crevicular fluid of diseased horses, highlighting the potential importance of the oral microbiome in disease aetiology (Sykora et al. 2013). Current treatment involves extraction of affected teeth. However there is an increased likelihood of neighboring teeth developing EOTRH (Rahmani et al. 2019). Presently there are no reported disease modifying treatments available to treat EOTRH and symptom management and pain reduction are the current gold standard approaches (Foster 2013). Whilst the cementum of teeth is the most effected dental tissue other types of dental tissues include dentine, enamel, pulp and the periodontium. The latter consists of cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Compositionally cementum is similar to bone with 55% organic material and 45% inorganic hydroxyapatite (Tziafas 2005). It covers the entire length of equine teeth, potentially explaining the hyperactivity of cementum-producing cells (cementoblasts) in EOTRH [C. Staszyk, Suske, and Pöschke (2015)](Bosshardt 2005). Coronal cementum acts as a support to enamel, whilst cementum nearer to the roots is primarily an interface between tooth and the periodontal ligament (PDL). Finally a third type of cementum is present within the infundibulum near the coronal surface of the tooth. Irregular cementum has been shown to be deposited during EOTRH at both resorbed and non-resorbed surfaces along the tooth-PDL interface. Proteomic tools have been utilised to analyse clinical samples in both normal and disease-specific states. Specifically in dental tissues proteomics has been used to map proteomes of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp in human teeth [Green et al. (2019)](Widbiller et al. 2019)[Giovani et al. (2020)](Eckhardt et al. 2014). As well as this human dental diseases, such as gingivitis, caries and periodontal disease have all been investigated with a similar approach [Gonçalves et al. (2011)](Wang et al. 2018)(Hartenbach et al. 2020). There have been no studies performed to identify potential pathological distinctions between the cementum tissues from healthy horses and those with EOTRH. We hypothesised that global protein changes in horses with and without EOTRH would increase the understanding of underlying pathways and disease mechanisms enabling insight into aetiologies. In addition, by understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms related to EOTRH this could provide treatment targets to delay or prevent disease progression. To investigate protein profiles we used unbiased label-free mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Project description:The aim of this study is to discover new genes and cells involved in life-long tooth replacement. Here we study the adult dentition of the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius). Single cell RNA-seq was carried out on jaw segments containing the dental forming tissues. One week prior to isolating the cells from the two animals, the developing, unerupted teeth were plucked out of the connective tissue in one part of the jaw. Other regions of the jaw were left intact and are considered controls. The scRNA-seq experiment successfully isolated dental mesenchyme and dental epithelial clusters. There were differences between the conditions when the two animals were combined. The data showed fewer differentiated cell types remain after plucking. We have validated a subset of the genes. This work will lead to discovery of genes and cell populations that may been lost in mammals. The profiling of adult, tissue-resident dental stem cells is likely to inform future tooth regeneration strategies for humans with tooth agenesis.

Project description:In this study, using mouse molar as the model, we developed a dual fluorescence reporter mouse to precisely track and analyze dental epithelium and mesenchyme at single-cell resolution from early embryonic to postnatal stages. Moreover, we constructed the virtual molar explorer (VMEx) to spatially map 15,967 molar-expressed genes and identified that Msx1+ Sdc1+ marked the developing dental papilla while surrounded by Msx1+ Sdc1- molar niche. Through tooth germ reconstitution and organoid culture in vitro and kidney capsule transplantation in vivo, we provided evidence that the Msx1+ Sdc1- dental follicle cells might function as the tooth organizers that promoted epithelium survival and tooth germ organization. Furthermore, the appearance of Msx1+ Sdc1+ dental papilla cells relied on the interaction between dental epithelium and Msx1+ Sdc1- dental follicle cells. Together, our results revealed the cellular dynamics of tooth development in mice and identified that the dental follicle might be the key driver of epithelial-mesenchymal interaction and tooth morphogenesis.

Project description:Throughout the various stages of tooth development, reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are the driving force, for instance crucially involved in the differentiation of mature enamel-forming ameloblasts and dentin-producing odontoblasts. Here we established mouse tooth ‘assembloids’, comprised of tooth organoid-derived dental epithelial cells (from mouse molars and incisors) cultured together with molar dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), to mimic these developmental interactions. Assembloids from both tooth types were grown both in basal- and differentiation-inducing conditions. Single cell transcriptomics analysis was applied to in detail characterize and validate the newly developed mouse tooth assembloid model and evaluate the induced differentiation processes.

Project description:Tooth regeneration remains an unmet clinical challenge due to the structural complexity of dental tissues and the requirement for precise epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during development. Here, we present a xeno-free, biomimetic strategy for dental organoid engineering by integrating human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–derived oral epithelial cells (OECs) and neural crest cells (NCCs) within a biodegradable chitosan–alginate (CA) scaffold. The CA scaffold provides a mechanically compliant and highly porous 3D microenvironment that supports hiPSC maintenance, lineage-specific differentiation, and spatial organization. Recombined OECs and NCCs self-organized into dental organoids that recapitulated key features of early odontogenesis, including coordinated epithelial–mesenchymal interactions, progressive expression of odontogenic markers (DSPP and AMBN), and time-dependent mineral deposition. Transcriptomic profiling revealed activation of gene programs associated with odontogenesis, amelogenesis, and craniofacial morphogenesis. Upon orthotopic implantation into a rat maxillary molar extraction site, cell-laden scaffolds supported cell survival, early tooth-like tissue organization, and localized mineralized matrix formation in vivo. Together, these results establish a xeno-free, scaffold-based platform for dental organoid formation and early tooth regeneration, providing a translational framework for stem cell–based dental tissue engineering and regenerative therapies.

Project description:Knowledge on tooth epithelial stem cells and corresponding biology in humans is sparse. Here, we developed an organoid model, typically replicating epithelial tissue stem cell biology, starting from human tooth. Dental follicle (DF), isolated from extracted wisdom teeth, efficiently generated long-term expandable epithelial organoids. The organoids displayed a tooth stemness phenotype as present in DF’s Epithelial Cell Rests of Malassez, a compartment deemed to contain tooth epithelial stem cells. To further decode the organoids in more granular detail, we applied scRNA-seq analysis on DF-derived organoids (passage 1 (P1) and P4) together with their primary tissue. Additionally, to decipher the amelogenesis-resembling process that takes place in the tooth organoids upon differentiation, we performed scRNA-seq analysis of P4 organoids switched to mineralization-inducing medium for 8 days.

Project description:During embryonic organogenesis, the odontogenic potential resides in dental mesenchyme from the bud stage until birth. Mouse dental mesenchymal cells (mDMCs) isolated from the inductive dental mesenchyme of developing molars are frequently used in the context of tooth development and regeneration. cultured mDMCs could retain the odontogenic potential for 24 h with a ratio of 60% for tooth formation, but mDMCs were incapable of supporting tooth formation after more than 24 h in culture. To reveal the underlying mechanism of the impairment of odontogenic potential, we generated gene expression profiles from mDMCs in culture using RNA-seq.
