Core Matrisome Protein Signature During Periodontal Ligament Maturation From Pre-occlusal Eruption to Occlusal Function.

ABSTRACT: The pre-occlusal eruption brings the molars into functional occlusion and initiates tensional strains during mastication. We hypothesized that upon establishment of occlusal contact, the periodontal ligament (PDL) undergoes cell and extracellular matrix maturation to adapt to this mechanical function. The PDL of 12 Wistar male rats were laser microdissected to observe the proteomic changes between stages of pre-occlusal eruption, initial occlusal contact and 1-week after occlusion. The proteome was screened by mass spectrometry and confirmed by immunofluorescence. The PDL underwent maturation upon establishment of occlusion. Downregulation of alpha-fetoprotein stem cell marker and protein synthesis markers indicate cell differentiation. Upregulated proteins were components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and were characterized with the matrisome project database. In particular, periostin, a major protein of the PDL, was induced following occlusal contact and localized around collagen ?-1 (III) bundles. This co-localization coincided with organization of collagen fibers in direction of the occlusal forces. Establishment of occlusion coincides with cellular differentiation and the maturation of the PDL. Co-localization of periostin and collagen with subsequent fiber organization may help counteract tensional forces and reinforce the ECM structure. This may be a key mechanism of the PDL to adapt to occlusal forces and maintain structural integrity.

Project description:The pre-occlusal eruption brings the rat molars into functional occlusion, which implicates tensional strains during mastication. We hypothesized that upon establishment of occlusion, the periodontal ligament undergoes cell and extracellular matrix maturation to adopt to this mechanical function. We thus aimed to characterize the protein content and changes in expression levels of tensionally relevant extracellular matrix components in the periodontal ligament between the eruption and newly established occlusion in rat molars. Twelve Wistar male rats were divided into 3 groups based on eruption and occlusal stages: covering the pre-occlusal stages at time of eruption, the first day of occlusion and 1 week after occlusion. We employed laser capture microdissection to obtain samples of the periodontal ligament at three regions, cervical, apical and subapical. The proteome was screened with Tandem Mass Tag 10-plexTM mass spectrometry and the expression of key proteins were confirmed by immunofluorescence. Differential expression of matrisome proteins was seen in the cervical and the apical region. Downregulation of pro-metabolic proteins, such as apolipoproteins implicated in lipid transport was observed. Alpha-fetoprotein, a stem cell marker, was also downregulated indicating cell differentiation and PDL maturation. Upregulated proteins were components of the extracellular matrix, involving several proteoglycans and glycoproteins and the matrisome was thus further analyzed. Periostin appeared around collagen α-1 (III) fibers and its expression was particularly strong on Sharpey’s fibers. This co-localization coincided with organization of collagen fibers in direction of the occlusal forces. Establishment of occlusion coincides with cellular differentiation and the maturation of the extracellular matrix of the periodontal ligament, as seen by downregulation of the stem cell marker Alpha-fetoprotein and apolipoproteins, and the progressive accumulation of collagen type III fibers, proteoglycans, glycoproteins. The increase in collagen fiber associates periostin may reflect a physiological response to enforce cell-ECM contacts during PDL maturation.

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.
