1 Harmine Stimulates the Differentiation of Cementoblasts In Harmine stimulates the differentiation of cementoblasts in vitro Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Li Zheng, DDS, PhD The Ohio State University 2020 Thesis Committee Dr. Toru Deguchi, Advisor Dr. Brian L. Foster Dr. Do-Gyoon Kim 1 Copyrighted by Li Zheng 2020 2 Abstract Introduction: One of the major side effects in orthodontic treatment is external apical root resorption (EARR). Recently, a new antiresorptive agent, harmine, was reported to stimulate osteoblast formation, differentiation and function. We hypothesized that harmine can be a potential agent for preventing and even recovering EARR. Therefore, our objective is to examine if harmine stimulates the differentiation of cementoblast in vitro. Methods: A cementoblast cell line (OCCM-30) was obtained for growth assay and scratch assay to investigate the effects of harmine on cementoblast growth. Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was used to examine transcription factors and differentiation markers such as Runx2, Dlx5, ctnnb1, Msx2, Osterix, Ibsp, Col1a1 and Spp1 in cementoblasts treated with harmine, compared to cells without treatment. Western blot was used to test if the transcription factors and differentiation markers are stimulated or inhibited on the protein level. Differentiation assays such as alizarin red staining and von Kossa staining are used to examine the effects of harmine on cementoblast differentiation. Results: The growth rate of OCCM-30 was inhibited by 10 µm harmine after 2 days treatment and more significant on day 3. Furthermore, scratch assay study showed a dose-dependent inhibition manner. Ten μM harmine decreased healing speed after 12 ii hours, 5 μM harmine slowed down the migration after 24 hours and 1 μM of harmine treatment decreased the speed after 36 hours, compared to control group. RT-PCR and western blot results indicated that harmine stimulates the expression of transcription factors and differentiation markers on both RNA and protein levels. Expression levels of Runx2, Dlx5 and Osterix were stimulated after 14 days treatment. Msx2 expression increased 1.5 fold after treatment on day 4. The expressions of Col1a1, Ibsp and Spp1 increased 3, 1.5 and 10 times, respectively on day 4. Von Kossa and alizarin red staining showed more calcium deposition by OCCM-30 cells after 4 days 10 μM harmine treatment. Conclusions: Harmine stimulates the differentiation of cementoblast in vitro. Therefore, harmine shows potential as a novel candidate for prevention of root resorption during orthodontic treatment and a promote repair cementum after root resorption. iii Acknowledgments This work is supported by the pilot grant from the College of Dentistry, the Ohio State University to Toru Deguchi. iv Vita Year Degree Major Institution 2017 – 2020 Master Dentistry The Ohio State University 2002 – 2006 Ph.D. Dental Sciences Okayama University, Japan 1995 – 2000 D.D.S.

Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 20 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Tooth enamel is the outer covering of tooth crowns, the hardest material in the mammalian body, yet fracture resistant. The extremely high content of 95 wt% calcium phosphate in healthy adult teeth is achieved through mineralization of a proteinaceous matrix that changes in abundance and composition. Enamel-specific proteins and proteases are known to be critical for proper enamel formation. Recent proteomics analyses revealed many other proteins with their roles in enamel formation yet to be unraveled. Although the exact protein composition of healthy tooth enamel is still unknown, it is apparent that compromised enamel deviates in amount and composition of its organic material. Why these differences affect both the mineralization process before tooth eruption and the properties of erupted teeth will become apparent as proteomics protocols are adjusted to the variability between species, tooth size, sample size and ephemeral organic content of forming teeth. This review summarizes the current knowledge and published proteomics data of healthy and diseased tooth enamel, including advancements in forensic applications and disease models in animals. A summary and discussion of the status quo highlights how recent proteomics findings advance our understating of the complexity and temporal changes of extracellular matrix composition during tooth enamel formation.

  • Amelogenic Transcriptome Profiling in Ameloblast-Like Cells Derived From
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Amelogenic transcriptome profling in ameloblast-like cells derived from adult gingival epithelial cells Received: 23 May 2018 Sun-Yi Hyun1, Seyoung Mun1,2, Kyung-Jung Kang1, Jong-Chan Lim1, Shin-Young Kim1, Accepted: 29 January 2019 Kyudong Han1,2 & Young-Joo Jang 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Dental enamel is the highly mineralized tissue covering the tooth surface and is formed by ameloblasts. Ameloblasts have been known to be impossible to detect in adult tooth because they are shed by apoptosis during enamel maturation and tooth eruption. Owing to these, little was known about appropriate cell surface markers to isolate ameloblast-like cells in tissues. To overcome these problems, epithelial cells were selectively cultivated from the gingival tissues and used as a stem cell source for ameloblastic diferentiation. When gingival epithelial cells were treated with a specifed concentration of BMP2, BMP4, and TGFβ-1, the expression of ameloblast-specifc markers was increased, and both the MAPK and Smad signaling pathways were activated. Gingival epithelial cells diferentiated into ameloblast-like cells through epithelial-mesenchymal transition. By RNA-Seq analysis, we reported 20 ameloblast-specifc genes associated with cell surface, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix function. These cell surface markers might be useful for the detection and isolation of ameloblast-like cells from dental tissues. Dentin, dental pulp, periodontal ligament, and dental enamel are developed by reciprocal interactions between dental epithelium and ectomesenchyme. Neural crest cell-derived ectomesenchyme diferentiates into odonto- blasts, periodontal ligament progenitors, cementoblasts, as well as various fibroblasts. On the other hand, enamel-forming ameloblasts diferentiate from epithelial cells originating from oral ectoderm.

  • The Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta in Tertiary Dentinogenesis
    The role of transforming growth factor beta in tertiary dentinogenesis Tetiana Haniastuti1, Phides Nunez2, and Ariadna A. Djais3 1Department of Oral Biology, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia 2Division of Oral Ecology in Health and Infection, Niigata University, Japan 3Department of Oral Biology, University of Indonesia, Indonesia ABSTRACT The most visible repair response to pulp injury is the deposition of a tertiary dentin matrix over the dentinal tubules of the primary or secondary dentin. Tertiary dentin is distinguished as reactionary and reparative dentin, depending on the severity of the initiating response and the conditions under which the newly deposited dentin matrix was elaborated. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) superfamily is a large group of growth factors that serve important roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and function. Members of this superfamily have been implicated in the repair process of the dental tissue after injury. Although numerous studies have proved that those bioactive molecules carry out an important role in the formation of tertiary dentin, comprehensive report regarding that phenomenon is not yet available. This review article aimed to summarize the role of TGF-b on tertiary dentinogenesis during the progression of a carious lesion. Key words: transforming growth factor beta, tertiary dentinogenesis, reactionary dentin, reparative dentin Correspondence: Tetiana Haniastuti, c/o: Bagian Biologi Oral, Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Gadjah Mada.
