Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the behaviour of iPSc derived from dental stem cells in terms of initial adhesion, differentiation potential on differently surface-treated titanium disc.
Materials and methods: iPSc derived from human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) were established using 4-reprogramming factors transduction with Sendai virus. The hGF-iPSc established in this study exhibited the morphology and growth properties similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells and expressed pluripotency makers. Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) staining, Embryoid Body (EB) formation and in vitro differentiation and karyotyping further confirmed pluripotency of hGF-iPSc. Then, hGF-iPSc were cultured on machined- and Sandblasted and acid etched (SLA)-treated titanium discs with osteogenic induction medium and their morphological as well as quantitative changes according to different surface types were investigated using Alizrin Red S staining, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Flow cytometry and RT-PCR.
Results: Time-dependent and surface-dependent morphological changes as well as quantitative change in osteogenic differentiation of hGF-iPSc were identified and osteogenic gene expression of hGF-iPSc cultured on SLA-treated titanium disc found to be greater than machined titanium disc, suggesting the fate of hGF-iPSc may be determined by the characteristics of surface to which hGF-iPSc first adhere.
Conclusions: iPSc derived from dental stem cell can be one of the most promising and practical cell sources for personalized regenerative dentistry and their morphological change as well as quantitative change in osteogenic differentiation according to different surface types may be further utilized for future clinical application incorporated with dental implant. 相似文献
Approximately 10%–20% of germline pathogenic variants alter mRNA splicing, with phenotypes often dependent on the stability of the mRNA produced by the mutant allele. To better understand the relationships between genotype, mRNA splicing, and phenotype, we examined clinical and molecular data from 243 probands with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) representing 145 unique splicing variants within the type I procollagen gene, COL1A1. All individuals with IVSX‐1G>A mutations had OI type I because the substitution shifted the splice acceptor site 1 nt downstream and destabilized the mRNA. OI phenotypes were not consistent for any other splice variant identified. We sequenced all cDNA species from cultured dermal fibroblasts from 40 individuals to identify splice outcome and compared those results to splice predictions from Human Splice Finder (HSF), Spliceport (SP), and Automatic Splice Site and Exon Definition Analyses (ASSEDA). Software‐based splice predictions were correct in 42%, 55%, and 74% instances for HSF, SP, and ASSEDA, respectively. As molecular diagnostics move increasingly to DNA sequence analysis, the need to understand the effects of splice site variants will increase. These data demonstrate that caution must be exercised when using splice prediction software to predict splice outcome. 相似文献
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of combined magnetic fields (CMFs) on osteogenesis and the remodeling of newly formed bone at bone‐tendon (BT) junction. Forty‐eight mature rabbits in whom partial patellectomy was performed were used to establish a BT junction injury model at the patella‐patellar tendon (PPT) complex and were then allocated to CMF treatment group (CMF group) or placebo treatment group (control group). Daily CMF therapy was delivered continuously from post‐operative day 3 to weeks 4, 8, and 16. At each time point, the animals were sacrificed, and the PPT complexes were harvested for radiographic, histological, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, and micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) evaluation. The area, length, and bone mineral density of the newly formed bone in the CMF group were significantly greater than the control group at post‐operative weeks 8 and 16. The micro‐CT results showed that the newly formed bone in the CMF group contained more and thicker trabeculae than the control group at weeks 8 and 16. Histologically, the CMF group showed better remodeling of the BT junction. In conclusion, CMF treatment was able to accelerate osteogenesis during BT junction repair, thus facilitating the healing of BT junction injury. 相似文献
