Maeda H, Mass acquisition of human periodontal ligament stem cells., World J Stem Cells., 10.4252/wjsc.v12.i9.1023, 2020.09, The periodontal ligament (PDL) is an essential fibrous tissue for tooth retention in the alveolar bone socket. PDL tissue further functions to cushion occlusal force, maintain alveolar bone height, allow orthodontic tooth movement, and connect tooth roots with bone. Severe periodontitis, deep caries, and trauma cause irreversible damage to this tissue, eventually leading to tooth loss through the destruction of tooth retention. Many patients suffer from these diseases worldwide, and its prevalence increases with age. To address this issue, regenerative medicine for damaged PDL tissue as well as the surrounding tissues has been extensively investigated regarding the potential and effectiveness of stem cells, scaffolds, and cytokines as well as their combined applications. In particular, PDL stem cells (PDLSCs) have been well studied. In this review, I discuss comprehensive studies on PDLSCs performed in vivo and contemporary reports focusing on the acquisition of large numbers of PDLSCs for therapeutic applications because of the very small number of PDLSCs available in vivo. .

Hidefumi Maeda, Atsushi Tomokiyo, naohisa wada, Koori Katsuaki, Giichiro Kawachi, Akifumi Akamine, Regeneration of the periodontium for preservation of the damaged tooth, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014.10, The population of the world grows every year, and life expectancy tends to increase. Thus, longterm preservation of teeth in aged individuals is an urgent issue. The main causes of tooth loss are well known to be periodontitis, caries, fractures, and orthodontic conditions. Although implant placement is a widely accepted treatment for tooth loss, most patients desire to preserve their own teeth. Many clinicians and researchers are therefore challenged to treat and preserve
teeth that are irreversibly affected by deep caries, periodontitis, fractures, and trauma. Tissue engineering techniques are beneficial in addressing this issue; stem
cells, signal molecules, and scaffolds are the main elements of such techniques. In this review, we describe these three elements with respect to their validation for regeneration of the periodontium and focus particularly on the potency of diverse scaffolds. In addition, we provide a short overview of the ongoing studies of 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate-tri-n-butyl-borane resin including calcium chloride or hydroxyapatite for periodontium regeneration..

Doi: 10.15761/IMM.1000106, 2014.10, The life-span of the tooth is intimately-associated with healthiness of periodontal ligament (PDL) which is a connective tissue situated between bone and cementum that covers tooth root surface. However, once this tissue is severely damaged by deep caries, periodontitis, and trauma, this leads to severe difficulty in its regeneration, resulting in tooth loss and decreased quality of life. The development of the therapy for generation and regeneration of the periodontal tissue is an urgent issue. Therefore, researchers have tried to improve efficiently-generative and regenerative medicine using stem cells, signal molecules, and scaffolds, requisite for tissue regeneration. In recent studies, a dental follicle tissue that is composed of stem cell population potentially differentiating into PDL tissue, cementum, and alveolar bone is of current interest. More recently a revolutionary and attractive study reporting the development of bio-hybrid implant that reserved newly-formed cementum/PDL tissue complex on its surface was introduced. In this review, we describe comprehensive reports that tried to develop the cementum/PDL complex by tissue engineering and future prospects..

This study aimed to investigate the effects of NaOCl on the surface properties of WMTA discs and WMTA-induced osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Mixed WMTA (ProRoot MTA) was filled into the molds to form WMTA discs. These discs were immersed in distilled water (D-WMTA) or 5% NaOCl (Na-WMTA). Their surface structures and Ca2+ release level was investigated. Moreover, they were cultured with a clonal human PDLSC line (line 1–17 cells). The main crystal structures of Na-WMTA were identical to the structures of D-WMTA. Globular aggregates with polygonal and needle-like crystals were found on D-WMTA and Na-WMTA, which included Ca, Si, Al, C and O. However, many amorphous structures were also identified on Na-WMTA. These structures consisted of
Na and Cl, but did not include Ca. NaOCl immersion also reduced Ca2+ release level from whole WMTA discs. Line 1–17 cells cultured with D-WMTA formed many mineralized nodules and exhibited high expression levels of osteoblast-related genes. However, cells incubated with Na-WMTA generated a small number of nodules and showed low expression levels of osteoblast-related genes. These results indicated that NaOCl reduced Ca2+ release from WMTA by generating amorphous structures and changing its elemental distribution. NaOCl may also partially abolish the ability of WMTA to stimulate osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs..

Previous studies showed that the concentration of tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) is higher in the blood of aged people compared with that of young people. So far, the precise effects of TNF‐α on the odontoblastic differentiation of pulp cells have been controversial. Therefore, we aimed to clarify how this cytokine affected pulp cells during aging. Human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) were cultured until reaching the plateau of their growth, and the cells were isolated at actively (young HDPCs; yHDPCs) or inactively (senescent HDPCs; sHDPCs) proliferating stages. sHDPCs expressed senescence‐related molecules while yHDPCs did not. When these HDPCs were cultured in an odontoblastinductive medium, both young and senescent cells showed mineralization, but mineralization in sHDPCs was lower compared with yHDPCs. However, the administration of TNF‐α to this culture medium altered these responses: yHDPCs showed downregulated mineralization, while sHDPCs exhibited significantly increased mineralization. Furthermore, the expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), a receptor of TNF‐α, was significantly upregulated in sHDPCs compared with yHDPCs. Downregulation of TNFR1 expression led to decreased mineralization of TNF‐α‐treated sHDPCs, whereas restored the reduction in TNF‐α‐treated yHDPCs. These results suggested that sHDPCs preserved the odontoblastic differentiation capacity and TNF‐α promoted odontoblastic differentiation of HDPCs with the progress of their population doublings through increased expression of TNFR1. Thus, TNF‐α might exert a different effect on the odontoblastic differentiation of HDPCs depending on their proliferating activity. In addition, the calcification of pulp chamber with age may be related with increased reactivity of pulp cells to TNF‐α..

to reconstruct dentin-pulp complexes and can result in pulpectomy because of their low potentials to accelerate dental pulp cell
activities, such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, the development of more effective therapeutic agents has been
anticipated for direct pulp capping. Dental pulp tissues are enriched with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Here, the authors investigated
the effects of semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) on various functions of human DPSCs in vitro and reparative dentin formation in vivo in a rat
dental pulp exposure model. Immunofluorescence staining revealed expression of Sema3A and its receptor Nrp1 (neuropilin 1) in rat
dental pulp tissue and human DPSC clones. Sema3A induced cell migration, chemotaxis, proliferation, and odontoblastic differentiation
of DPSC clones. In addition, Sema3A treatment of DPSC clones increased β-catenin nuclear accumulation, upregulated expression of
the FARP2 gene (FERM, RhoGEF, and pleckstrin domain protein 2), and activated Rac1 in DPSC clones. Furthermore, in the rat dental
pulp exposure model, Sema3A promoted reparative dentin formation with dentin tubules and a well-aligned odontoblast-like cell layer at
the dental pulp exposure site and with novel reparative dentin almost completely covering pulp tissue at 4 wk after direct pulp capping.
These findings suggest that Sema3A could play an important role in dentin regeneration via canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Sema3A
might be an alternative agent for direct pulp capping, which requires further study..

To characterize the microbial composition of persistent periapical lesions of root filled teeth using a molecular genetics approach.
METHODOLOGY:

Apical lesion samples were collected from 12 patients (23-80 years old) who visited the Kyushu University Hospital for apicectomy with persistent periapical lesions associated with root filled teeth. DNA was directly extracted from each sample and the microbial composition was comprehensively analysed using clone library analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans and specific fimA genotypes of Porphyromonas gingivalis were confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with specific primers.
RESULTS:

Bacteria were detected in all samples, and the dominant findings were P. gingivalis (19.9%), Fusobacterium nucleatum (11.2%) and Propionibacterium acnes (9%). Bacterial diversity was greater in symptomatic lesions than in asymptomatic ones. In addition, the following bacteria or bacterial combinations were characteristic to symptomatic lesions: Prevotella spp., Treponema spp., Peptostreptococcaceae sp. HOT-113, Olsenella uli, Slackia exigua, Selemonas infelix, P. gingivalis with type IV fimA, and a combination of P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum, and Peptostreptococcaceae sp. HOT-113 and predominance of Streptococcus spp. On the other hand, neither Enterococcus faecalis nor C. albicans were detected in any of the samples.
CONCLUSION:

Whilst a diverse bacterial species were observed in the persistent apical lesions, some characteristic patterns of bacterial community were found in the symptomatic lesions. The diverse variation of community indicates that bacterial combinations as a community may cause persistent inflammation in periapical tissues rather than specific bacterial species..

Hidefumi Maeda, Akifumi Akamine, Quest for the development of tooth root/periodontal ligament complex by tissue engineering., Integr Mol Med., 10.15761/IMM.1000106, 1, 2, 22-25, 2014.10, The life-span of the tooth is intimately-associated with healthiness of periodontal ligament (PDL) which is a connective tissue situated between bone and cementum
that covers tooth root surface. However, once this tissue is severely damaged by deep caries, periodontitis, and trauma, this leads to severe difficulty in its regeneration,
resulting in tooth loss and decreased quality of life. The development of the therapy for generation and regeneration of the periodontal tissue is an urgent issue.
Therefore, researchers have tried to improve efficiently-generative and regenerative medicine using stem cells, signal molecules, and scaffolds, requisite for tissue
regeneration. In recent studies, a dental follicle tissue that is composed of stem cell population potentially differentiating into PDL tissue, cementum, and alveolar
bone is of current interest. More recently a revolutionary and attractive study reporting the development of bio-hybrid implant that reserved newly-formed cementum/
PDL tissue complex on its surface was introduced. In this review, we describe comprehensive reports that tried to develop the cementum/PDL complex by tissue
engineering and future prospects..

41. Hidefumi Maeda, To seek a longer conservation method of tooth, 1st International Conference on Dental & Oral Health, 2013.08, In Japan, we meet the aging of society, and along with this, people desire to retain their teeth as long as possible. Periodontitis, caries, fracture, and orthodontic issue are known to be as major causes of tooth loss. To correct these problems, clinicians and researchers have made efforts to develop novel and unique therapies. In this context, we have focused on treatment for caries and fracture. To address this issue, we have been attempting to clarify the mechanism of the regeneration of periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue and to develop functional filling materials to permit this event. For the former agenda, we have investigated to define PDL stem cells, signaling and scaffolds based on tissue engineering standpoint. Firstly we have established and characterized two undifferentiated human PDL clonal cell lines that had been immortalized by gene transfer, and then examined the effects of various cytokines and calcium on these cell lines. For the latter agenda, we have prepared calcium-modified 4-META/MMA-TBB resin, and evaluated its bioactive features, such as biocompatibility, formation of hydroxyapatite on its surface, and differentiation-inducing activity for human PDL cells. Thus to elucidate above-described three elements optimal to allow periodontal regeneration, and to develop functional filling materials with characteristics as a scaffold for that will lead us to pioneer a new dental therapy for longer conservation of tooth. This technique may be also prospective in further application for developing the implant retaining PDL tissue or a treatment of periodontitis..

58. Resin-based sealers exhibit high sealing ability; thus, they are useful for endodontic
treatment. Some reports concerning cytotoxicity of the eluent from these sealers,
however, have been presented. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects
of a polymethyl methacrylate resin-based sealer (Superbond Sealer™, SB) on
proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells
(HPLCs) in vitro, compared with an epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus™, AH). HPLCs
were obtained from two patients with informed consent. SB or AH discs washed for 7
days after setting (washed) or unwashed discs just after setting for 24 hr (unwashed)
were prepared. Cells cultured on these discs were evaluated by scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and WST-1 proliferation assays. The osteogenic differentiation
of HPLCs cultured on these discs was examined by gene expression analysis of
osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) by quantitative RT-PCR. HPLCs exhibited
growth on washed SB discs, whereas unwashed SB and AH discs and washed AH discs
inhibited their proliferation. SEM observation revealed that HPLCs tightly attached
onto the surface of washed SB discs, although few cells were observed on other discs.
HPLCs significantly upregulated gene expression of OPN and OCN when cultured
on washed SB discs in osteogenic differentiation medium for 2 weeks whereas other
discs did not induce their differentiation. These results indicate that, although SB
initially exerted cytotoxic effects on HPLCs, these effects reduced during washing for
7 days compared to AH. Washed SB might allow HPLCs to differentiate into osteogenic
cells under the osteogenic environment. This study was supported by the Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan..
