Published: May 2017

Aim: The present study aimed to characterize the expression pattern of chemokines obtained from inflamed periodontal defects and to determine the characteristics of human periodontal-ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) migrated by each specific chemokine.

Materials And Methods: Both inflamed and healthy periodontal tissues were obtained from periodontitis patients (n = 11), and the chemokine expression levels were analyzed. The periodontal-tissue-specific chemokines were applied to healthy hPDLSCs from extracted teeth (n = 3), with FGF-2 acting as a positive control. Cells were separated by selected chemokines using transwell method into migrated/unmigrated hPDLSCs. The characteristics of the hPDLSC subpopulation recruited by each chemokine were assessed, and gene expression pattern was analyzed by microarray.

Results: Chemokines were categorized into three groups by specific patterns of "appearing," "increasing," and "decreasing/disappearing" from healthy to inflamed tissues. A representative chemokine from each group enhanced the capacities for colony formation and osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation while maintaining the surface markers of hPDLSCs. RANTES/CCL5 significantly increased the cellular migration of hPDLSCs, via enhancement of signaling pathways, regulation of the actin skeleton, and focal adhesion.

Conclusion: The present study found a specific chemokine profile induced by inflammation in periodontal tissues, with RANTES/CCL5 appearing to play a role in the migration of hPDLSCs into inflammatory periodontal lesions.

The therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in bone regeneration is noteworthy; however, their clinical application is impeded by low yield and limited efficacy. This study investigated the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the therapeutic efficacy of EVs derived from periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and preliminarily explored its mechanism. PDLSCs were cultured with osteogenic media and stimulated with or without LIPUS, and then EVs and LIPUS-stimulated EVs (L-EVs) were isolated separately.

Aims: This study investigated the effect of injection of adipose stem cells (ASCs) on the expression of type VII and VIII collagen in Wistar rat's gingiva. Adipose stem cells can modulate the immune system, angiogenesis, wound healing, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling.

Materials And Methods: Ten Wistar rats aged three months were divided into two groups: the treatment group and the control group.

Periodontitis, a widespread inflammatory disease, is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. While mechanical periodontal therapy benefits the periodontal disease treatment, adjunctive periodontal therapy is also necessary. Topically applied anti-inflammatory agents have gained considerable attention in periodontitis therapy.

Inflammation alters the expression and activity of the mechanosensitive ion channels in periodontal ligament cells.

Division of Paediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, the University of Hong Kong, 34 Hospital Road, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Background: Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) possess mechanotransduction capability, vital in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and maintaining periodontal homeostasis. The study aims to elucidate the expression profiles of mechanosensitive ion channel (MIC) families in PDLCs and how the inflammatory mediator alters their expression and function, advancing the understanding of the biological process of OTM.

Methods And Methods: Human PDLCs were cultured and exposed to TNF-α.

Although the modulus of elasticity of the human periodontal ligament (E) values used in dentistry widely ranged from 0.01 to 175 MPa, the exact E value has not been determined. This study aimed to verify whether and how E values affect the stress distribution over the tooth and periodontium structures, and to determine the appropriate E range.
