“…The inflamed pulp model might not be the case for periapical inflamed tissue because the nature of the 2 tissues is different. Patel et al (4) demonstrated that multipotent MSCs exist in newly formed granulation tissue in response to foreign bodies in rats. They found that these cells expressed markers of embryonic pluripotent cells (Oct-4 and Nanog) and of adult stem cells (CXCR4 and Thy1.1) as well as produced high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor for up to 10 passages.…”

“…This finding suggests that there is at least the presence of osteogenic progenitors, if not mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), in the periapical inflamed tissues. Patel et al (4) demonstrated that multipotent MSCs exist in granulation tissue in response to foreign bodies in rats. Our recent studies have shown that stem cell markers, including STRO-1, CD90, CD105, and CD146, can be detected in inflamed pulp tissues by using immunohistochemical analysis.…”

Introduction We previously reported the presence of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) in inflamed pulp tissue. Here we asked whether MSCs also exist in inflamed periapical tissues resulting from endodontic infection. The objectives of this study were to detect the expression of MSC markers in periapical inflammatory tissues and to characterize isolated cells from these tissues. Methods Human periapical inflammatory tissues were collected and processed to detect MSC marker expression by immunohistochemistry. Cells were isolated and tested for cell surface marker expression by using flow cytometry and examined for multiple differentiation potential into osteogenic and adipogenic pathways. In vivo formation of mineralized tissues was assessed in a mouse model. Results Immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for MSC markers STRO-1, CD90, and CD146. Isolated cells at passage 0 appeared as typical fibroblastic cells, and a few cells formed colony-forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-Fs). After passaging, the CFU-F forming ability diminished dramatically, and the population doubling was up to 26. Flow cytometry data showed that these cells at passage 2 expressed low levels of STRO-1 and CD146 and moderate to high levels of CD90, CD73, and CD105. At passage 6, the levels of these markers decreased. When incubated in specific differentiation medium, cells demonstrated a strong osteogenic but weak adipogenic capacity. After in vivo cell transplantation, mineralized tissues formed in immunocompromised mice. Conclusions Human periapical inflammatory tissues expressed MSC markers, suggesting the presence of MSCs. Isolated cells exhibited typical mesenchymal cell immunophenotype with a capacity to form mineralized matrix in vitro and in vivo.

“…This gene is highly expressed in breast cancer cells [45] and has a role in the adhesion of prostate cancer cells [46]. CXCR4 is cited as an adult stem cell marker that is expressed in granulation tissue [47]. Further, CXCR4's role in CD34 + fibrocytes migration and hematopoietic cell trafficking through tissue has been verified and may be related to the migration of MSCs in DD [48,49].…”

Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a fibroproliferative disorder characterized by aberrant proliferation of myofibroblasts, the source of which remains unknown. Recent studies indicate that circulating and tissue-resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into myofibroblasts. Therefore, the aim of this study was to profile MSCs from phenotypically distinct DD sites including cord, nodule, skin overlying nodule (SON), and perinodular fat (PNF) compared with unaffected internal controls, that is, distant palmar fat (DPF) and transverse palmar fascia (Skoog's fibers) as well as external control carpal tunnel (CT) tissue including skin, fat, and fascia. Freshly isolated primary fibroblasts as well as cells grown up to passage 5 (P5) from DD (n=27) and CT (n=14) samples were analyzed for the presence of established MSC markers CD73, CD90, and CD105 and absence of hematopoietic marker CD34 using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, in-cell quantitative western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. Freshly isolated cells from SON, PNF, and cord biopsies had a higher number of CD34(-)73(+)90(+)105(+) cells compared with Skoog's fibers and CT controls. P3 cells obtained from all DD biopsies compared with CT samples differentiated into osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. P3 cord and nodule cells expressed intense α-smooth muscle actin staining compared with skin and fat cells. Stem cell markers including stem cell factor, MSC-homing marker CXCR4, and Wnt/β-catenin downregulator Dkk-1 were all upregulated in SON and PNF compared with CT skin and CT fat, respectively, as shown by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. However, osteogenic marker OSF-1 had a significantly higher expression in the PNF (P=0.002) and cord (P=0.01) compared with the nodule. In conclusion, we have shown the presence of MSCs in specific DD tissue phenotypes compared with internal and external control tissue. These findings provide preliminary support for a potential alternative source of disease myofibroblasts originating from sites such as SON and PNF as opposed to palmar fascia alone.

“…16 The generation of cartilage constructs derived from autologous chondrocytes, autologous or allogenic multipotent mesenchymal stem cells, 17,18 embryonic stem cells, and other cell sources [19][20][21] is an exciting alternative to current treatment strategies. Cartilage ECM consists primarily of collagen, especially collagen type II, and proteoglycans in the form of hydrated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which provide mechanical integrity to the tissue.…”

A multimodal diagnostic system that integrates time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, and ultrasound backscatter microscopy is evaluated here as a potential tool for assessing changes in engineered tissue composition and microstructure nondestructively and noninvasively. The development of techniques capable of monitoring the quality of engineered tissue, determined by extracellular matrix (ECM) content, before implantation would alleviate the need for destructive assays over multiple time points and advance the widespread development and clinical application of engineered tissues. Using a prototype system combining time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, FLIM, and UBM, we measured changes in ECM content occurring during chondrogenic differentiation of equine adipose stem cells on 3D biodegradable matrices. The optical and ultrasound results were validated against those acquired via conventional techniques, including collagen II immunohistochemistry, picrosirius red staining, and measurement of construct stiffness. Current results confirm the ability of this multimodal approach to follow the progression of tissue maturation along the chondrogenic lineage by monitoring ECM production (namely, collagen type II) and by detecting resulting changes in mechanical properties of tissue constructs. Although this study was directed toward monitoring chondrogenic tissue maturation, these data demonstrate the feasibility of this approach for multiple applications toward engineering other tissues, including bone and vascular grafts.
