Background And Objectives: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) play an important role in the repair of tooth injuries. Electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBCe1) is a Na-coupled HCO transporter encoded by the solute carrier 4A4 () gene and plays a crucial role in maintaining the pH of DPSCs. Our previous research confirmed that NBCe1 is highly expressed in odontoblasts during the development of the tooth germ. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of NBCe1 on odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs and further clarify the underlying mechanisms.
Methods And Results: DPSCs were isolated and identified, and the selective NBCe1 inhibitor S0859 was used to treat DPSCs. We used a cell counting Kit-8 assay to detect cell proliferative ability, and intracellular pH was assessed using confocal microscopy. Odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs was analyzed using real-time PCR and Alizarin Red S staining, and the NF-B pathway was assessed using western blotting. Our results indicated that 10 M S0859 was the optimal concentration for DPSC induction. Intracellular pH was decreased upon treatment with S0859. The mRNA expressions of , and were upregulated in the NBCe1 inhibited group compared to the controls. Moreover, NBCe1 inhibition significantly activated the NF-B pathway, and a NF-B inhibitor reduced the effect of NBCe1 on DPSC differentiation.
Conclusions: NBCe1 inhibition significantly promotes odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs, and this process may be regulated by activating the NF-B signaling pathway.

Article Synopsis
- Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare genetic disorder that presents with brittle hair, photosensitivity, scaly skin, and stunted growth, leading to a high mortality rate in children mainly due to infections.
- A case report highlights a five-year-old boy with these symptoms who was diagnosed with TTD after genetic testing during treatment for a dental infection.
- The report emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluation of pediatric patients to improve diagnosis and care for genetic disorders like TTD, involving a collaborative approach among healthcare providers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore mitochondrial transfer in dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its impact on their ability to differentiate into odontogenic cells.
- Flow cytometry, immunostaining, and advanced imaging techniques were utilized to analyze the presence and significance of mitochondrial transfer in these cells, revealing its role in promoting odontogenic differentiation.
- The research found evidence of mitochondrial transfer through structures called tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) and showed that inhibiting this transfer affected key differentiation markers and gene expression related to odontogenesis.

Background: To meet their high energy needs, tumor cells undergo aberrant metabolic reprogramming. A tumor cell may expertly modify its metabolic pathways and the differential expression of the genes for metabolic enzymes. The physiological requirements of the host tissue and the tumor cell of origin mostly dictate metabolic adaptation.

Dental caries is one of the most common health issues worldwide arising from the complex interactions of bacteria. In response to harmful stimuli, desirable outcome for the tooth is the formation of tertiary dentin, a protective reparative process that generates new hard tissue. This reparative dentinogenesis is associated with significant inflammation, which triggers the recruitment and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs).
