Dimeric Proanthocyanidins on the Stability of Dentin and Adhesive Biointerfaces.

ABSTRACT: A dentin biomodification strategy with selective proanthocyanidin (PAC)-enriched extracts reinforces dentin and dentin-resin interfaces. Enrichment of the extracts according to the degree of polymerization allows exploration of bioactive principles of PACs and structure-activity relationships. This study investigated the sustained dentin matrix biomodification and dentin-resin bioadhesion of 2 fractions consisting exclusively of B-type PAC dimers with or without a single galloyl motif (specifically, DIMER_G and DIMER_NG) and their precursor material, enriched grape seed extract (e-GSE; Vitis vinifera). The biomodification potential was determined by long-term evaluation of the apparent modulus of elasticity and collagen solubility (hydroxyproline release). Chemical characterization of the dentin matrix was performed by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The bioadhesive properties were assessed by a microtensile bond strength test at different time points, and macro-hybrid layers were produced to verify the degree of conversion of the adhesive resin. Fractions consisting of DIMER_G, DIMER_NG, and their precursor, e-GSE, increased the modulus of elasticity at all time points and reduced collagen degradation. Specimens treated with DIMER_NG remained stable throughout 12 mo of storage, whereas a significant drop in the modulus of elasticity was observed for the DIMER_G and e-GSE groups at 6 mo. The fractions and precursor did not affect the degree of resin conversion at the hybrid layer. Changes in infrared resonances corresponding to collagen cross-links in the dentin matrix occurred for all treatments. Higher bond strength was observed for dentin treated with e-GSE as compared with DIMER_G and DIMER_NG; all biointerfaces remained stable after 12 mo. Nongalloylated PACs mediate stable dentin biomodification, which includes protective activity against collagen degradation and reinforcement of the anchoring dentin matrix. Collectively, PACs with a higher degree of oligomerization offer a robust bioadhesion between the hydrophilic dentin matrix and the hydrophobic adhesive.

Project description:Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are plant-derived, multifunctional compounds that possess high interactivity with extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The documented affinity of PACs for type-I collagen is directly correlated with their structural features and degree of polymerization. In this investigation, centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) was used to sequentially deplete less active monomeric and polymeric PACs from a crude Pinus massoniana bark extract to create refined mixtures enriched in oligomeric PACs. The ability of these oligomeric PACs to modify the mechanical properties of the dentin collagen matrix and their biocompatibility with dental pulp cells (DPCs) was evaluated in an innovative biomimetic environment. The refined mixtures displayed high interactivity with dentin collagen as demonstrated by a significant increase (>5-fold) in the modulus of elasticity of the dentin matrix. In a simplified model of the dentin-DPC complex, DPCs embedded within their native ECM in the presence of PAC-treated dentin exhibited increased proliferation. Quantitative gene expression analyses indicated that exposure to PAC-treated dentin increased the expression of key biomineralization and odontogenic differentiation regulators, including RUNX2, BMP2, OCN, and DSPP. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that PACs two to four units long (dimers, trimers, and tetramers) were being released from dentin into media, influencing cell behavior. Overall, the results suggested that PAC dimers, trimers, and tetramers are not only biocompatible, but enhance the differentiation of DPCs towards a phenotype that favors biomineralization. PAC-enriched refined mixtures can influence the field of biomaterials and regeneration by serving as renewable, non-cytotoxic agents that can increase the mechanical properties of biomaterials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:Pine bark extract is a renewable source of structurally diverse proanthocyanidins (PACs), multifunctional compounds whose interaction with collagen can be tailored to specific purposes by enrichment of selected PACs from the complex mixture. Oligomeric PACs were enriched from the extract and were shown here to sustain desired tissue modification and were thus assessed for cellular response in a model of the dentin-pulp interface. This model was developed to mimic leaching of potentially reactive compounds into pulp tissue. Dental pulp cells exposed to PAC-treated dentin showed increased proliferation and expression of genes necessary for extracellular matrix deposition and biomineralization, processes crucial for forming new dentin. Thus, collagen-interactive PACs may also enhance tissue regeneration and have broad impact in tissue engineering.

Project description:AimGrape seed extract contains a complex mixture of proanthocyanidins (PACs), a plant biopolymer used as a biomaterial to improve reparative and preventive dental therapies. Co-polymerization of PACs with type I collagen mechanically reinforces the dentin extracellular matrix. This study assessed the biocompatibility of PACs from grape seed extract on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in a model simulating leaching through dentin to the pulp cavity. The aim was to determine the type of PACs (galloylated vs. non-galloylated) within grape seed extract that are most compatible with dental pulp tissue.MethodologyHuman demineralized dentin was treated with selectively-enriched dimeric PACs prepared from grape seed extract using liquid-liquid chromatography. DPSCs were cultured within a 2D matrix and exposed to PAC-treated dentin extracellular matrix. Cell proliferation was measured using the MTS assay and expression of odontoblastic genes was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Categorization of PACs leaching from dentin was performed using HPLC-MS.ResultsEnriched dimeric fractions containing galloylated PACs increased the expression of certain odontoblastic genes in DPSCs, including Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and collagen, type I, alpha 1 (COLI). Galloylated dimeric PACs also exhibited minor effects on DPSC proliferation, resulting in a decrease compared to control after five days of treatment. The non-galloylated dimer fraction had no effect on these genes or on DPSC proliferation.ConclusionsGalloylated PACs are biocompatible with DPSCs and may exert a beneficial effect on cells within dental pulp tissue. The observed increase in odontoblastic genes induced by galloylated PACs together with a decrease in DPSC proliferation is suggestive of a shift toward cell differentiation. This data supports the use of dimeric PACs as a safe biomaterial, with galloylated dimeric PACs exhibiting potential benefits to odontoblasts supporting dentin regeneration.
