However, the over- all mechanism of growth factor-mediated odontogenesis remains to be elucidated. The present study examined expression sites and intensities of major growth factors and receptors in the tooth germ of murine fetuses and neonates. Signals of TGF-β and CTGF in fetuses were released from the enamel epithelium, while their neonatal signals arose in odontoblasts. Moreover, BMP/Smad signaling may affect the differentiation of ameloblasts, in contrast to PDGFα whose signals may cause odontoblast differentiation. Growth factors associated with the formation of the periodonti- um were IGF1, IGF2, IGFBP3, CTGF, and PDGFα. Concerning cusp formation, the enamel knot selectively expressed FGF4, BMP2, and BMP4 with an expression of PDGFα in the enamel-free area. It is concluded that many molecules play critical roles in the epithelium-mesenchyme inter- action of tooth germ differentiation, and their expressions are precisely controlled. Tooth germ differentiation commonly progresses in genesis, partially due to insufficient in vivo system- the following order: the initiation, bud, cap, bell, and atic analyses of the expression of such factors. root formation stages.

The receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, leading to autophosphorylation on specific tyrosine resi- dues. Thereby the kinase activities of the receptors are activated and docking sites for down- stream SH2 domain signal transduction molecules are created; activation of these pathways promotes cell growth, survival, and migration. These receptors mediate important signals during the embryonal development, and control tissue homeostasis in the adult. Their over- activity is seen in malignancies and other diseases involving excessive cell proliferation, such as atherosclerosis and fibrotic diseases.

  • The Biology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications for Genomic and Immune Therapies Galina Khemlina1,4*, Sadakatsu Ikeda2,3 and Razelle Kurzrock2
    Khemlina et al. Molecular Cancer (2017) 16:149 DOI 10.1186/s12943-017-0712-x REVIEW Open Access The biology of Hepatocellular carcinoma: implications for genomic and immune therapies Galina Khemlina1,4*, Sadakatsu Ikeda2,3 and Razelle Kurzrock2 Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer, is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is highly refractory to most systemic therapies. Recently, significant progress has been made in uncovering genomic alterations in HCC, including potentially targetable aberrations. The most common molecular anomalies in this malignancy are mutations in the TERT promoter, TP53, CTNNB1, AXIN1, ARID1A, CDKN2A and CCND1 genes. PTEN loss at the protein level is also frequent. Genomic portfolios stratify by risk factors as follows: (i) CTNNB1 with alcoholic cirrhosis; and (ii) TP53 with hepatitis B virus-induced cirrhosis. Activating mutations in CTNNB1 and inactivating mutations in AXIN1 both activate WNT signaling. Alterations in this pathway, as well as in TP53 and the cell cycle machinery, and in the PI3K/Akt/mTor axis (the latter activated in the presence of PTEN loss), as well as aberrant angiogenesis and epigenetic anomalies, appear to be major events in HCC. Many of these abnormalities may be pharmacologically tractable. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors is also emerging as an important treatment option. Indeed, 82% of patients express PD-L1 (immunohistochemistry) and response rates to anti-PD-1 treatment are about 19%, and include about 5% complete remissions as well as durable benefit in some patients. Biomarker-matched trials are still limited in this disease, and many of the genomic alterations in HCC remain challenging to target.

Peden,3 Changyi Chen,4 William E. Mitch,2 Luan Truong,5 and Jizhong Cheng2 1Department of Stomatology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. 2Selzman Institute for Kidney Health, Section of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. 3Department of Vascular Surgery, DeBakey Heart and Vascular Institute, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas, USA. 4Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. 5Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas, USA. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces the failure of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and promotes the differentiation of vascular adventitial GLI1-positive mesenchymal stem cells (GMCs). However, the roles of GMCs in forming neointima in AVFs remain unknown. GMCs isolated from CKD mice showed increased potential capacity of differentiation into myofibroblast-like cells. Increased activation of expression of PDGFRA and hedgehog (HH) signaling were detected in adventitial cells of AVFs from patients with end-stage kidney disease and CKD mice. PDGFRA was translocated and accumulated in early endosome when sonic hedgehog was overexpressed. In endosome, PDGFRA-mediated activation of TGFB1/SMAD signaling promoted the differentiation of GMCs into myofibroblasts, extracellular matrix deposition, and vascular fibrosis. These responses resulted in neointima formation and AVF failure. KO of Pdgfra or inhibition of HH signaling in GMCs suppressed the differentiation of GMCs into myofibroblasts. In vivo, specific KO of Pdgfra inhibited GMC activation and vascular fibrosis, resulting in suppression of neointima formation and improvement of AVF patency despite CKD.

  • Cell Proliferation Study in Human Tooth Germs
    Cell proliferation study in human tooth germs Vanesa Pereira-Prado1, Gabriela Vigil-Bastitta2, Estefania Sicco3, Ronell Bologna-Molina4, Gabriel Tapia-Repetto5 DOI: 10.22592/ode2018n32a10 Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the expression of MCM4-5-6 in human tooth germs in the bell stage. Materials and methods: Histological samples were collected from four fetal maxillae placed in paraffin at the block archive of the Histology Department of the School of Dentistry, UdelaR. Sections were made for HE routine technique and for immunohistochemistry technique for MCM4-5-6. Results: Different regions of the enamel organ showed 100% positivity in the intermediate layer, a variation from 100% to 0% in the inner epithelium from the cervical loop to the incisal area, and 0% in the stellar reticulum as well as the outer epithelium. Conclusions: The results show and confirm the proliferative action of the different areas of the enamel organ. Keywords: MCM4, MCM5, MCM6, tooth germ, cell proliferation. 1 Molecular Pathology in Stomatology, School of Dentistry, Universidad de la República, Montevideo, Uruguay.
