Comparison of Periodontal Ligament Cell Lines with Adenovirus- and Lentivirus-Mediated Human Telomerase Reverse Transcription Expression.

ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were to generate periodontal ligament (PDL) cells that have adenovirus- or lentivirus-mediated overexpression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and to compare the osteogenic and proliferative abilities of the two cell lines to establish an efficient and stable cell model that will be more suitable for studies of PDL regeneration. After construction of the recombinant adenovirus plasmid pAd-pshuttle-cmv-hTERT, human PDL cells were infected by packaged adenovirus and lentivirus particles to establish two PDL cell lines. The expression levels of hTERT and mRNA for alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, core-binding factor (runt-related transcription factor 2), and type I collagen were assessed for each cell line. After culture in osteoinductive culture medium for 14 days, the PDL cells were stained with alizarin red to observe formation of mineralized nodules, and proliferation activity was measured with a CCK-8 kit. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay indicated that the two transduced cell lines expressed hTERT levels that were significantly higher than that seen for normal PDL cells. Expression of all osteogenic genes tested, with the exception of osteopontin, was higher for both the adenovirus- and lentivirus-transduced cells relative to normal PDL cells. The expression of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and runt-related transcription factor 2 in adenovirus-transduced cells was significantly higher than that for lentivirus-transduced cells. Alizarin red staining showed that the adenovirus-transduced cell line produced more mineralized nodules than the lentivirus-transduced cell line, whereas a CCK-8 test showed that the adenovirus-transduced cell line had higher proliferation activity than lentivirus-transduced cells. In conclusion, a PDL cell line established by adenovirus transduction had superior osteogenic differentiation and proliferative activity compared to the cell line produced by lentivirus transduction. The results indicate that PDL cells having adenovirus-mediated expression of hTERT would be a more suitable model for studies of PDL regeneration.

Project description:The structural and functional integrity of bone-periodontal ligament (PDL)-cementum complex stems from the load-bearing attachment sites (entheses) between soft (PDL) and hard (bone, cementum) tissues. These attachment sites are responsible for the maintenance of a bone-PDL-cementum complex biomechanical function. The objective was to investigate changes in spatiotemporal expression of key biomolecules in developing and functionally active entheses.Multilabeling technique was performed on hemimandibles of 3 wk and 3 mo-old scleraxis-GFP transgenic mice for CD146, CD31, NG2, osterix and bone sialoprotein. Regions of dominant stretch within the PDL were evaluated by identifying directionality of collagen fibrils, PDL fibroblasts and PDL cell cytoskeleton.CD146+ cells adjacent to CD31+ vasculature were identified at PDL-bone enthesis. NG2+ cells were located at coronal bone-PDL and apical cementum-PDL entheses in the 3-wk-old group, but at 3 mo, NG2 was positive at the entheses of the apical region and alveolar crest. NG2 and osterix were colocalized at the osteoid and cementoid regions of the PDL-bone and PDL-cementum entheses. Bone sialoprotein was prominent at the apical region of 3-wk-old mice. The directionality of collagen fibers, fibroblasts and their cytoskeleton overlapped, except in the apical region of 3 wk.Colocalization of biomolecules at zones of the PDL adjacent to attachment sites may be essential for the formation of precementum and osteoid interfaces at a load-bearing bone-PDL-tooth fibrous joint. Biophysical cues resulting from development and function can regulate recruitment and differentiation of stem cells potentially from a vascular origin toward osteo- and cemento-blastic lineages at the PDL-bone and PDL-cementum entheses. Investigating the coupled effect of biophysical and biochemical stimuli leading to cell differentiation at the functional attachment sites is critical for developing regeneration strategies to enable functional reconstruction of the periodontal complex.
