Outline Activities
The goal of endodontic treatment is to preserve teeth for a long time without pain. In addition, our research focuses on the regeneration of periodontal ligament. Periodontal ligament is a very important organ to fix teeth to alveolar bone. Therefore, the success of regeneration of periodontal ligament should prevent tooth extraction that is caused by periodontitis.

    keyword : periodontal ligament, neuron, stem cells, regeneration
    2008.07～2009.07Previously, some groups have reported the functional recovery of neurons by bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that PDL stem cells also have neural regenerative potential, but there has been no report. Recently, we established a clonal human PDL cell line.These cells exhibited typical spindle-shaped fibroblastic morphologies, however they differentiated into osteoblast, chondrocyte, neurocyte, and adipocyte after respective induction. To investigate the neural regenerative potential of PDL stem cells, we aimed to analyze the effects of a multipotent PDL cell line on differentiation and migration of neurocyte. .
Current and Past Project
  • We research about the neural regenerative potential of the multipotent PDL cell line (cell line 1-17) to establish the new treatment for the neural regeneration.

The tissue engineering triad includes stem cells, biological signals, and cell-seeded scaffold that are considered to be essential for tissue regeneration. Periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue contains a stem cell population, periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC), that is derived the neural crest tissue. PDLSC demonstrate high proliferative capacity and multipotency that make them a highly promising stem cell population for use in the regeneration of damaged periodontal tissues. Here, we review the current understanding of the features and functions of PDLSC..

MSCs are identified in various adult organs including dental tissues. Periodontal ligament (PDL) is a highly specialized connective tissue that surrounds the tooth root. PDL also contains MSC population, and many researchers have isolated them and performed their detailed characterization. Here, we review the current understanding of the features and functions of MSC population in PDL tissues and discuss their possibility for the application of PDL regeneration..

Mark Bartold, Generation of neural crest-like cells from human periodontal ligament cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells., Journal of Cellular Physiology, 10.1002, 2016.05, Neural crest cells (NCC) are a transient multipotent stem cell population that migrates into its destination in the vertebrate embryo and gives rise to many different types of cells. NCC hold great promise for stem cell-based tissue engineering, however the inability to easily obtain large numbers of neural crest cells is a major factor limiting their use in studies of development and regenerative medicine. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are emerging as a novel candidate that could provide an unlimited source of NCC because of their self-renewal capacity and pluripotency. In the present study, we examined the potential of neural crest tissue-derived periodontal ligament (PDL) iPSC to differentiate into neural crest-like cells (NCLC) relative to iPSC generated from a non-neural crest derived tissue, foreskin fibroblasts (FF). We detected high HNK1 expression during the differentiation of PDL and FF iPSC into NCLC as a marker for enriching for a population of cells with neural crest characteristics. Using magnetic-activated cell sorting, we isolated PDL iPSC- and FF iPSC-derived NCLC which highly expressed HNK1. The isolated NCLC also expressed the neural crest markers SLUG and SOX9. A high proportion of the HNK1-positive cell populations generated, expressed the MSC markers; CD73, CD90, CD105, CD146, and CD166, whilst very few cells expressed the pluripotency markers; TRA160, alkaline phosphatase, or the hematopoietic markers CD14, CD34, and CD45. The PDL and FF HNK1-positive populations gave rise to smooth muscle, neural, glial, osteoblastic and adipocytic like cells and exhibited higher expression of smooth muscle, neural, and glial cell-associated markers than the PDL and FF HNK1-negative populations. Interestingly the HNK1-positive cells derived from the PDL-iPSC exhibited a greater ability to differentiate into smooth muscle, neural, glial cells and adipocytes, than the HNK1-positive cells derived from the FF-iPSC. Our work suggests that HNK1-enriched NCLC from neural crest tissue-derived iPSC more closely resemble the phenotypic and functional hallmarks of NCC compared to the HNK1-low population and non-neural crest iPSC-derived NCLC..
