Dental pulp tissue engineering with stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth

Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have been isolated and characterized as multipotent cells. However, it is not known whether SHED can generate a dental pulp-like tissue in vivo. The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphologic characteristics of the tissue formed when SHED seeded in biodegradable scaffolds prepared within human tooth slices are transplanted into immunodeficient mice. We observed that the resulting tissue presented architecture and cellularity that closely resemble those of a physiologic dental pulp. Ultrastructural analysis with transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for dentin sialoprotein suggested that SHED differentiated into odontoblast-like cells in vivo. Notably, SHED also differentiated into endothelial-like cells, as demonstrated by B-galactosidase staining of cells lining the walls of blood-containing vessels in tissues engineered with SHED stably transduced with LacZ. This work suggests that exfoliated deciduous teeth constitute a viable source of stem cells for dental pulp tissue engineering.

N-Acetyl-l-cysteine enhances ex-vivo amplification of deciduous teeth dental pulp stem cells

ObjectiveObtaining high number of stem cells is of interest for cell based therapies. N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) acts as a source of sulfhydryl groups and an anti-oxidative agent. The aim of this study was to test different NAC concentration on proliferation and differentiation of deciduous teeth dental pulp stem cells (DTSCs) in vitro as well as to define the possible underlining mechanism of its effect.DesignNumber of viable, apoptotic and senescent DTSCs was determined after addition of NAC (0.1 mM, 1.0 mM, 2.0 mM). Also, cell cycle analysis, HIF1-α expression, LDH isoenzymes, superoxide-dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity, sulfhydryl groups content, the level of lipids’ and proteins’ oxidative damage and differentiation capacity of NAC treated DTSCs was determined.ResultsDTSCs expressed HIF-1α in all conditions. The lowest NAC dose (0.1 mM) increased the number of DTSCs by one fifth comparing to the control, most likely stimulating entry of cells into S phase of cell cycle and enhancing the activity of LDH5 isoenzyme. The highest NAC dose (2 mM) inhibited DTSCs proliferation. Also, DTSCs had the lowest level of oxidative damage with 0.1 mM NAC. All tested NAC concentrations enhanced DTSCs osteo-chondrogenesis.ConclusionThe lowest NAC dose exerted significant positive effect on DTSCs proliferation as well as antioxidative protection creating beneficial environment for stem cells in vitro cultivation especially when their clinical use is important for stimulation of osteo-chondrogenesis.

Conditioned-medium of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth prevent apoptosis of neural progenitors

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective ability of the conditioned medium of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (CM-SHED) to prevent glutamate-induced apoptosis of neural progenitors.Materials and methodsNeural progenitors were isolated from two-day-old rat brains, and the conditioned medium was obtained from a mesenchymal stem cell SHED. Four groups were examined: neural progenitor cells cultured in neurobasal medium with (N + ) and without (N-) glutamate and glycine, and neural progenitor cells cultured in CM-SHED with (K + ) and without (K-) glutamate and glycine.ResultsThe expression of GABA A1 receptor (GABAAR1) messenger RNA (mRNA) in neural progenitor measured by real-time quantitative PCR. GABA contents were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas the apoptosis markers caspase-3 and 7-aminoactinomycin D were analysed with a Muse® cell analyzer. The viability of neural progenitor cells in the K + group (78.05 %) was higher than the control group N- (73.22 %) and lower in the N + group (68.90 %) than in the control group. The K + group showed the highest GABA content, which significantly differed from that in the other groups, whereas the lowest content was observed in the N + group. The expression level of GABAAR1 mRNA in the K + group was the highest compared to that in the other groups. CM-SHED potently protected the neural progenitors from apoptosis.ConclusionsCM-SHED may effectively prevent glutamate-induced apoptosis of neural progenitors.     

Chondrogenic potential of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth in vitro and in vivo

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the chondrogenic potential of stem cells from human exfoliated teeth (SHED). Materials and methods. SHED cultures were isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth. Colony-forming capacity, odonto/osteogenic and adipogenic potential were measured. SHED were cultured for 2 weeks in chondrogenic differentiation medium containing dexamethasone, insulin, ascorbate phosphate, TGF-β3 and bFGF. Toluidine blue staining and safranin O staining were used for chondrogenesis analysis. The related markers, type II collagen and aggrecan, were also investigated using immunohistochemistry. SHED were seeded onto the β-TCP scaffolds and transplanted into the subcutaneous space on the back of nude mice. The transplants were recovered at 2, 4 and 8 weeks post-transplantation for analysis. Results. SHED showed colony-forming capacity, odonto/osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity. Chondrogenic differentiation was confirmed by toluidine blue staining, safranin O staining, type II collagen and aggrecan immunostaining. After in vivo transplantation, SHED recombined with β-TCP scaffolds were able to generate new cartilage-like tissues. Conclusions. The ?ndings demonstrate the chondrogenic differentiation capacity of SHED both in vitro and in vivo models, suggesting the potential of SHED in cartilage tissue engineering.

Effect of a cryopreservation protocol on the proliferation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of a cryopreservation protocol on the proliferation and viability of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs).

Materials and methods: Cells from the pulp of three deciduous teeth were isolated and characterized to confirm their stem cell nature. In second passage, part of the cells were submitted to normal conditions of cell culture (Control group), while part of the cells were maintained in 10% DMSO diluted in foetal bovine serum and submitted to the following cryopreservation protocol: 2?h at 4?°C, 18?h at ?20?°C and then at ?80?°C for two intervals (30 days – Cryopreservation I; and 180 days Cryopreservation II). Cell proliferation and cell cycle were evaluated at intervals of 24, 48 and 72?h after plating, and apoptosis-related events were analyzed at 72?h.

Results: All groups exhibited an increase in the number of cells, and no significant differences between the cryopreserved and control groups were observed (p?>?.05). The distribution of cells in the cell cycle phases was consistent with cell proliferation, and the percentage of viable cells was higher than 99% in all groups, indicating that cell viability was not affected by the cryopreservation protocol throughout the experiment.

Conclusion: The proposed cryopreservation protocol is adequate for the storage of SHED, permitting their use in future experimental studies.     

Comparison of human dental follicle cells (DFCs) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) after neural differentiation in vitro

Dental stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and dental follicle cells (DFCs) are neural crest-derived stem cells from human dental tissues. Interestingly, SHED and DFCs can successfully differentiate into neuron-like cells. We hypothesized that SHED and DFCs have the same neural cell differentiation potentials. To evaluate neural cell differentiation, we cultivated SHED and DFCs in four different serum-replacement media (SRMs) and analyzed cell morphology, cell proliferation, and gene expression patterns before and after differentiation. In a standard cell culture medium, SHED and DFCs have not only similar cell morphologies, but they also have similar gene expression patterns for known stem cell markers. However, only SHED expressed the neural stem cell marker Pax6. After cultivation in SRMs, cell proliferations of DFCs and SHED were reduced and the cell morphology was spindle-like with long processes. However, differentiated DFCs and SHED had different neural cell marker expression patterns. For example, gene expression of the late neural cell marker microtubule-associated protein 2 was upregulated in DFCs and downregulated in SHED in SRM with the B27 supplement. In contrast, SHED formed neurosphere-like cell clusters in SRM with the B27 supplement, epidermal growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor-2. Moreover, SHED differentially expressed the glial cell marker glial fibrillary acidic protein, which in contrast was weakly or not expressed in DFCs. In conclusion, SHED and DFCs have different neural differentiation potentials under the same cell culture conditions.
