Odontoblasts play critical roles in dentin formation and sensory transduction following stimuli on the surface. Exogenous to surface elicit dentinal sensitivity through movement of fluids tubules, resulting cellular deformation. Recently, Piezo1 channels have been implicated mechanosensitive processes, as well Ca 2+ signals odontoblasts. However, human odontoblasts, responses induced by mechanical stimulation, channel expression, its pharmacological properties remain unclear. In present study, we examined functional expression recording direct stimulation-induced signaling matrix protein 1 (DMP-1)-, nestin-, sialophosphoprotein (DSPP)-immunopositive Mechanical stimulation odontoblasts transiently increased intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca ] i ). Application repeated resulted transient [Ca increases, but did not show any desensitizing effects increases. We also observed a increase neighboring stimulated cells during showing decrease with an increasing distance from mechanically cells. Yoda1 .

These results suggest predominantly activates via opening, rather than Piezo2 channels, signal establishes intercellular odontoblast-odontoblast communication. addition, participates reduction dentinogenesis. Thus, pathway mediated could contribute function two ways: (1) generating (2) suppressing physiological/reactional dentinogenesis, deformation hydrodynamic forces inside tubules.

Despite signs of infection—including taste loss, dry mouth and mucosal lesions such as ulcerations, enanthema macules—the involvement the oral cavity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. To address this, we generated analyzed two single-cell RNA sequencing datasets human minor salivary glands gingiva (9 samples, 13,824 cells), identifying 50 cell clusters. Using integrated normalization annotation, classified 34 unique subpopulations between gingiva. Severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral entry factors ACE2 TMPRSS members were broadly enriched epithelial cells mucosae. orthogonal protein expression assessments, confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection Saliva from SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals harbored exhibiting sustained infection. Acellular cellular fractions asymptomatic found to transmit ex vivo. Matched nasopharyngeal saliva samples displayed distinct shedding dynamics, burden correlated with COVID-19 symptoms, including loss. Upon recovery, this cohort exhibited IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Collectively, these data show that an important site for implicate a potential route transmission. Single-cell transcriptomics analyses gingiva, along detection infectious virus virus-specific individuals, support role pathogenesis.

Teeth exert fundamental functions related to mastication and speech. Despite their great biomedical importance, an overall picture of cellular molecular composition is still missing. In this study, we have mapped the transcriptional landscape various cell populations that compose human teeth at single-cell resolution, analyzed in deeper detail stem microenvironment. Our study identified heterogeneity dental pulp periodontium. Unexpectedly, found signatures were very similar, while respective microenvironments strongly diverged. findings suggest microenvironmental specificity a potential source for functional differences between highly similar cells located tooth compartments open new perspectives toward cell-based therapeutic approaches.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be identified in mammalian teeth. Currently, dental-derived MSCs (DMSCs) has become a collective term for all the isolated from dental pulp, periodontal ligament, follicle, apical papilla, and even gingiva. These DMSCs possess similar multipotent potential as bone marrow-derived MSCs, including differentiation into that have characteristics of odontoblasts, cementoblasts, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, epithelial cells, neural hepatocytes, adipocytes. Besides, also powerful immunomodulatory functions, which enable them to orchestrate surrounding immune microenvironment. properties promising approach injury repair, tissue regeneration, treatment various diseases.
