Objective: To evaluate the expression of dental matrix protein-l (DMP1) in porcine oral mucosa fibroblasts (POMF) transfected by DMP1 and the influences of the transfection.

Methods: The full length of porcine DMP1 cDNA was linked into an eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C1. POMF and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were transfected with the pEGFP-DMP1. The expression of DMP1, dental sialoprotein (DSP), amelin and ameloblastin (Ambn) gene of transfected POMF and MSC were detected by RT-PCR. The expression of DMP1 and DSP protein was examined by immunocytochemical staining. The formation ratio of mineralized nodules of transfected cells was compared with un-transfected ones after mineralized induction. The formation of mineralized nodules of three-dimensional pellet transfected cells was compared with un-transfected ones after hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Results: The constructed pEGFP-DMP1 could produce 4.7 kb and 1.5 kb fragments. DMP1 gene, DSP gene and Ambn gene were expressed by POMF after transfection. Immunohistochemical staining and the quantitative analysis of protein showed that DMP1 and DSP protein was positive in transfected POMF and MSC. The formation ratio of mineralized nodules of transfected POMF and MSC was higher than that of un-transfected ones (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: The expression of porcine DMP1 in POME after gene transfection can induce the expression of tooth-development-associated gene Ambn and DSP and enhance the formation of mineralized nodules.

LIPUS promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs and osseointegration of dental implants by regulating ITGA11 and focal adhesion pathway.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.

Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

The imbalance of redox homeostasis, especially the abnormal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a key obstacle in the bone repair process. Therefore, developing materials capable of scavenging ROS and modulating the microenvironment of bone defects is crucial for promoting bone repair. In this study, to endow poly(amino acids) (PAA) and its composites with anti-oxidative stress properties and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, we designed and prepared a calcium sulfate/calcium hydrogen phosphate/poly(amino acids) (PCDM) composite material with a thioether structure (-S-) in the molecular chain of PAA matrix through situ polymerization and physical blending method.

Lateral Meningocele Syndrome (LMS), a disorder associated with NOTCH3 pathogenic variants, presents with neurological, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. Mouse models of the disease exhibit osteopenia that is ameliorated by the administration of Notch3 antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting either Notch3 or the Notch3 mutation. To determine the consequences of LMS pathogenic variants in human cells and whether they can be targeted by ASOs, induced pluripotent NCRM1 and NCRM5 stem (iPS) cells harboring a NOTCH36692-93insC insertion were created.

Due to a lack of high-quality water, farmers have been compelled to use sewage water for irrigation, contaminating agricultural soils with multiple heavy metals. For the remediation of contaminated soil, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), pressmud (PM), and iron (III) oxide were used to improve the growth and phytostabilization potential of chickpea grown in contaminated soil. Contaminated soil was collected from a nearby field, receiving sewage and factory water over the last 60 years.
