Project description:A single cell transcriptional profile of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells in the tooth bud of the murine molar marked by Gli1-GFP+ tooth root progenitor cells or PTHrP+ dental follicle cells at postnatal day 6 (P6)
Project description:Periodontitis can impair the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal mesenchymal stem cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play significant roles under both physiologic and pathological conditions. We performed comprehensive lncRNAs profiling by lncRNA microarray to identify differentially expressed long noncoding RNA expression between Periodontal ligament stem cells from healthy Periodontal tissue and periodontal ligament stem cells from inflammatory periodontal tissue. Our analysis identified 233 lncRNAs and 423 mRNAs that were differently expressed (fold change >2.0, p-value < 0.05) between the two groups of cells. The GO analysis revealed that the significantly down-regulated biological processes included multicellular organismal process, developmental process and multicellular organismal development and the significantly up-regulated biological processes included cellular process, biological regulation and response to stimulus in periodontal ligament stem cells from inflammatory periodontal tissue. The Pathway analysis revealed that the differentially expressed mRNAs may involved in Focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, Bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, Long-term depression, Circadian entrainment and HIF-1 signaling pathway. Two-condition experiment, periodontal ligament stem cells from healthy periodontal tissue (hPDLSCs) vs. periodontal ligament stem cells from inflammatory periodontal tissue (pPDLSCs), Biological replicates: 3 control replicates (hPDLSCs), 3 testing replicates (pPDLSCs).

Project description:Periodontal tissue supports teeth in the alveolar bone socket via fibrous attachment of the periodontal ligament (PDL). The PDL contains many stromal cell types, including osteoblasts, cementoblasts, periodontal fibroblasts, and stem/progenitor cells. However, the characteristics and lineage hierarchy of each cell type remain poorly defined. Here we present a single-cell atlas of PDL, highlighting diverse cell populations in PDL.
Project description:Human dental follicle cells (hDFCs) are precursor cells of periodontal development. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been revealed to be crucial factors that regulate a variety of biological processes; however, whether lncRNAs serve a role in human periodontal development remains unknown. Therefore, the present study used microarrays to detect the differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs between hDFCs and human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). Human dental follicle and periodontal ligament samples were obtained from four adolescents (2 males and 2 females) between 12 and 16 years old following premolar and immature impacted third molar (roots developed to <2/3 their full size) extraction for orthodontic reasons. To verify the reliability of the microarray data, six differentially expressed lncRNAs and six differentially expressed mRNAs were randomly selected for analysis of their expression levels by RT-qPCR.
Project description:The change of transcriptome and related biological functions affected by tobacco smoke and Electronic-cigarette (E-cig) to human gingival mesenchymal (GMSC) and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are not fully understood. Here, we collected GMSCs and PDLSCs from systemically healthy patients due to the premolars and extracted for orthodontic reasons, and treated with tobacco smoke (G1, P1), E-cig smoke with original flavor (G2, P2), E-cig smoke with menthol flavor (G3, P3), E-cig liquid with original flavor (G4, P4), and E-cig liquid with menthol flavor (G5, P5) by the optimal conditions of LC50, and conducted RNA-seq to compare with untreated control (G0, P0).
