    AbstractBackground/purposeTo identify genetic expression patterns that can be used to define an appropriate diagnostic algorithm of clinical use in periodontal disease.Materials and methodsTotal RNA was extracted from 13 samples corresponding to normal human gingiva (NHG) and human gingiva affected by periodontal disease (PDHG). A comprehensive gene expression analysis was carried out by microarray analysis using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 oligonucleotide arrays.ResultsSixty-six probe sets (genes and expressed sequence tags – EST) overexpressed in all samples of one of the comparison groups, were used for the diagnostic algorithm. All samples, including an independent test sample, were correctly classified as normal or periodontally affected using the diagnostic algorithm. In addition, 2596 genes/EST were upregulated and 1542 genes/EST were downregulated in PDHG, with numerous gene functions impaired in PDHG, especially those related to the immune response, cell-cell junctions, and extracellular matrix remodeling.ConclusionOur study reveals differential gene expression profiles in NHG and PDHG. The proposed diagnostic algorithm could have clinical usefulness for differential diagnosis in periodontal disease

    Introducción: Actualmente las matrices son utilizadas para la regeneración de órganos y tejidos. Dentro de los polímeros naturales más usados están el quitosán y la fibrina. Estas matrices proporcionan un ambiente tridimensional, con características biomecánicas adecuadas, las cuales permiten la proliferación, migración y diferenciación celular. El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de aquellos trabajos científicos que tratan de “evaluar la capacidad de proliferación in vitro de células madre adiposas sobre andamios de fibrina y quitosán”. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed, Proquest y Science direct, utilizando términos de búsqueda específicos, desde enero de 2006 hasta diciembre de 2019. Dos investigadores determinaron independientemente la elegibilidad de los estudios. Se realizó la preselección de los artículos teniendo en cuenta los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. De los artículos seleccionados se extrajo información sobre morfología celular, comportamiento del cambio dimensional del polímero, aislamiento y caracterización celular, crecimiento, viabilidad, tasa de supervivencia y evaluación /citotóxica de las células; cuando faltaron datos, se contactó con los autores de la publicación. Se tuvo en cuenta la descripción de los métodos para obtener datos de proliferación celular mediante pruebas metabólicas como: (MTT), (MTS), WST-1, LIVE-DEAD, microscopía electrónica de barrido, microscopia electrónica de transmisión o microscopia de fluorescencia. Se utilizó una lista de chequeo para la valoración de los ítems y se determinó el índice de concordancia para los dos investigadores. Resultados: La búsqueda inicial arrojó 165 publicaciones, de los cuales se excluyeron 100 por no cumplir con los criterios de inclusión. Sesenta y cinco se revisaron a texto completo, 58 fueron excluidos por encontrarse duplicados, presentar combinación de quitosán y fibrina con otros compuestos o por no encontrarse toda la información para la evaluación de la rigurosidad metodológica. Finalmente, siete artículos fueron seleccionados y se sometieron a la evaluación metodológica. Conclusión: Los estudios seleccionados demuestran las ventajas biológicas y mecánicas de los biomateriales de fibrina y quitosán y su capacidad para estimular la proliferación celular. Estos biomateriales podrían ser considerados como opciones para ser utilizados como matrices en protocolos de ingeniería tisular y medicina regenerativa. Futuras investigaciones sobre evaluación de la proliferación celular sobre cualquier biomaterial deben estar direccionadas en plantear rigurosa metodología que permita la obtención de resultados fiables.Introduction: Currently the matrices are used for the regeneration of organs and tissues. Among the most used natural polymers are chitosan and fibrin. These matrices provide a three-dimensional environment, with adequate biomechanical characteristics, which allow cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. The aim of the present study was to carry out a systematic review of those scientific works that try to “evaluate the in vitro proliferation capacity of adipose stem cells on fibrin and chitosan scaffolds”. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Proquest and Science direct databases, using specific search terms, from January 2006 to December 2019. Two investigators independently determined the eligibility of the studies. The articles were preselected considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Information on cell morphology, polymer dimensional change behavior, cell isolation and characterization, growth, viability, survival rate and evaluation / cytotoxicity of cells was extracted from the selected articles; when data were missing, the authors of the publication were contacted. The description of the methods to obtain cell proliferation data using metabolic tests such as: (MTT), (MTS), WST-1, LIVE-DEAD, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy was considered. A checklist was used to assess the items and the concordance index was determined for the two researchers. Results: The initial search yielded 165 publications, of which 100 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Sixty-five were reviewed in full text, 58 were excluded because they found duplicates, presented a combination of chitosan and fibrin with other compounds, or because not all the information was found for the evaluation of methodological rigor. Finally, seven articles were selected and submitted to methodological evaluation. Conclusion: Selected studies demonstrate the biological and mechanical advantages of fibrin and chitosan biomaterials and their ability to stimulate cell proliferation. These biomaterials could be considered as options to be used as matrices in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine protocols. Future research on the evaluation of cell proliferation on any biomaterial should be aimed at proposing rigorous methodology that allows obtaining reliable results

    Effective use of mesenchymal stem cells in human skin substitutes generated by tissue engineering

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate toward epithelial cells and may be used as an alternative source for generation of heterotypical artificial human skin substitutes, thus, enhancing their development and translation potential to the clinic. The present study aimed at comparing four types of heterotypical human bioengineered skin generated using MSCs as an alternative epithelial cell source. Adipose-tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), Wharton’s jelly stem cells (WJSCs) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were used for epidermal regeneration on top of dermal skin substitutes. Heterotypic human skin substitutes were evaluated before and after implantation in immune-deficient athymic mice for 30 d. Histological and genetic studies were performed to evaluate extracellular matrix synthesis, epidermal differentiation and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecule expression. The four cell types differentiated into keratinocytes, as shown by the expression of cytokeratin 10 and filaggrin 30 d post-grafting; also, they induced dermal fibroblasts responsible for the synthesis of extracellular fibrillar and non-fibrillar components, in a similar way among each other. WJSCs and BMSCs showed higher expression of cytokeratin 10 and filaggrin, suggesting these cells were more prone to epidermal regeneration. The absence of HLA molecules, even when the epithelial layer was differentiated, supports the future clinical use of these substitutes – especially ADSCs, DPSCs and WJSCs – with low rejection risk. MSCs allowed the generation of bioengineered human skin substitutes with potential clinical usefulness. According to their epidermal differentiation potential and lack of HLA antigens, WJSCs should preferentially be used.Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Instituto de Salud Carlos III), FIS PI15/2048 (co-financed by ERDF-FEDER, European Union), award number AC17/00013 (NanoGSkin) by ISCIII thorough AES 2017 and within the EuroNanoMed framework and PE-0393-20

    Identification of Histological Patterns in Clinically Affected and Unaffected Palm Regions in Dupuytren's Disease

    Dupuytren's disease is a fibro-proliferative disease characterized by a disorder of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and high myofibroblast proliferation. However, studies failed to determine if the whole palm fascia is affected by the disease. The objective of this study was to analyze several components of the extracellular matrix of three types of tissues—Dupuytren's diseased contracture cords (DDC), palmar fascia clinically unaffected by Dupuytren's disease contracture (NPF), and normal forehand fascia (NFF). Histological analysis, quantification of cells recultured from each type of tissue, mRNA microarrays and immunohistochemistry for smooth muscle actin (SMA), fibrillar ECM components and non-fibrillar ECM components were carried out. The results showed that DDC samples had abundant fibrosis with reticular fibers and few elastic fibers, high cell proliferation and myofibroblasts, laminin and glycoproteins, whereas NFF did not show any of these findings. Interestingly, NPF tissues had more cells showing myofibroblasts differentiation and more collagen and reticular fibers, laminin and glycoproteins than NFF, although at lower level than DDC, with similar elastic fibers than DDC. Immunohistochemical expression of decorin was high in DDC, whereas versican was highly expressed NFF, with no differences for aggrecan. Cluster analysis revealed that the global expression profile of NPF was very similar to DDC, and reculturing methods showed that cells corresponding to DDC tissues proliferated more actively than NPF, and NPF more actively than NFF. All these results suggest that NPF tissues may be affected, and that a modification of the therapeutic approach used for the treatment of Dupuytren's disease should be considered.This work was supported by CTS-115 (Tissue Engineering Group), University of Granada/Spain
