    Abstract Wnt signaling plays a crucial role in the progression of various cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the tumor microenvironment (TME) regulating Wnt signaling has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated whether cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the primary components of the TME, activate Wnt signaling and promote tumor progression in OSCC. We conducted a Transwell coculture assay using human OSCC cell lines and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). NHDFs stimulated WNT7A expression in several OSCC cell lines, especially HO-1-N-1 and HSC-5. An immunohistochemical study using 122 human OSCC samples indicated that high WNT7A expression in tumor cells was significantly associated with invasion depth and poor prognosis. Moreover, WNT7A expression in OSCC cells was positively correlated with α-smooth muscle actin expression in CAFs. WNT7A knockdown in OSCC cells demonstrated that OSCC cells cocultured with NHDFs significantly promoted tumor cell migration and invasion, which was dependent on WNT7A expression in OSCC cells. We also isolated HSC-5 cells from the coculture and conducted microarray analysis to investigate the factors that promote tumor progression induced by WNT7A. Among the various differentially expressed genes, we identified a downregulated gene encoding CLDN1 and confirmed that WNT7A negatively regulated CLDN1 expression in OSCC cells and CLDN1 knockdown in OSCC cells promoted their migration. Phosphokinase array analysis showed that WNT7A activates protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation. Activating AKT signaling using the SC79 agonist induced CLDN1 downregulation in OSCC cells. In the coculture assay, the AKT inhibitor MK2206 significantly recovered CLDN1 expression downregulated by WNT7A, resulting in OSCC cell migration suppression. These results suggest that CAFs stimulate OSCC cells to produce WNT7A, following CLDN1 expression downregulation by activating AKT signaling, promoting cancer cell migration. These findings highlight the importance of molecular therapies targeting the TME in OSCC.

    Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease caused by age-related muscle weakness, obesity, or sports injury that leads to gait disability due to pain during walking. Knee OA is characterized by abnormal knee joint alignment and rotational dyskinesia, which are believed to worsen the symptoms. We previously developed an ankle orthosis that mechanically induces the rotation of the lower limb in conjunction with that of the ankle joint. This orthosis can effectively correct the alignment of the knee joint. However, slippage between the orthosis and leg can occur during walking, decreasing the corrective force. In this study, we clarify the effect of slippage between the orthosis and body on the correction force of the orthosis, and develop a lower leg tracking mechanism to suppress slippage and minimize reduction of force. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism was evaluated by three-dimensional motion analysis of gait. Analysis results confirmed that the proposed mechanism was effective in suppressing slippage and improving correction force, demonstrating the effectiveness of the mechanism for knee OA.

    Abstract Fgf23 acts as a phosphaturic factor secreted from osteocytes in bone, but the mechanism regulating Fgf23 is not fully understood. Here, we showed the colocalization of Fgf23, Notch, and Hes1, a downstream target of Notch signaling, in numerous osteocytes in cortical bone of femur in wild-type mice. We generated NICD (Notch intracellular domain)-transgenic mice driven by a 2.3 kb collagenα1 (I) (Col1a1) promoter fragment. Western blot and RT-PCR analyses revealed upregulation of Notch protein and mRNA levels in the bones of transgenic mice compared with those in wild-type mice. In the transgenic mice, immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that numerous osteocytes and osteoblasts express Notch in the rib, whereas only osteoblasts exhibit Notch in the femur. NICD-transgenic mice were characterized by upregulation of Fgf23 mRNA levels in the rib but not in the femur compared with that in wild type mice. These mice exhibited dwarfism associated with an osteomalacia phenotype. The expression of Alpl, Col1a1, and Bglap decreased in NICD-transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice. UMR-106 cells cultured on Jagged1-immobilized wells significantly increased Fgf23 expressions associating with upregulation of Hes1 and Hey1. These results imply that Notch signaling is a positive regulator for Fgf23 expression in osteocytes.

    Abstract Objectives: Signals from inflamed tooth pulp activate thalamic neurons to evoke central sensitization. We aimed to gain insights into the mechanisms mediating the early phase of pulpal inflammation-induced thalamic neural and glial activation.
    Materials and methods: Pulpal inflammation was induced via the application of mustard oil (MO) to the upper first molar of Wistar rats with local anesthesia (LA) or saline injection. After 0.5, 1, 2, and 24 hr, contralateral thalami were subjected to microarrays, a real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry to identify differentially expressed genes and assess potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1 (Kv1.1)-expressing axons and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-expressing astrocytes.
    Results: The Kv1.1 gene (Kcna1) was down-regulated and the density of Kv1.1-expressing axons decreased in non-anesthetized rats, but not in anesthetized rats 1 hr after the MO treatment. The density of GFAP-expressing astrocytes increased in both groups until 24 hr after the MO treatment, with a greater increase being observed in the saline-injection group than in the LA group.
    Conclusions: MO induced the transient down-regulation of Kcna1, transiently reduced the density of Kv1.1-expressing axons, and increased astrocytes in thalami within 1 hr of pulpal application. These results suggest central sensitization represented by neuronal hyperexcitability and astrocyte activation.

    Abstract NOTCH1 plays an important role in epithelial differentiation and carcinogenesis. To investigate the impact of Notch1 inactivation in oroesophageal epithelium, we generated conditional knockout (cKO) mice, using a combined construct which induces the expression of single guide RNA targeting Notch1 and Cas9 by the KRT14 promoter. The cKO mice exhibited patchy hair loss and multiple NOTCH1-negative areas in the tongue epithelium, indicative of heterogeneous knockout. The cKO mice showed susceptibility to esophageal tumorigenesis, underscoring Notch1 as a tumor suppressor. Our one-step strategy for generation of cKO mice provides a versatile method to examine a gene function in vivo.

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether the mesenchymal stem cell-endothelial cell crosstalk enhances angiogenic factor expression via nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-dependent mechanisms.
    Materials and methods: Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) were cocultured for 96 hr, in the presence of NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) or scramble (control). Vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and phospho-NF-κB p65 were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Angiogenesis-related gene expression was analyzed with microarray analysis followed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Tube formation assay was conducted in the presence of NF-κB decoy.
    Results: The VEGF and phospho-NF-κB p65 levels were significantly higher in the coculture with NF-κB decoy scramble than in single culture and coculture with NF-κB decoy ODN. Microarray analysis of SHEDs and HDMECs with NF-κB decoy scramble showed higher expression of proangiogenic genes, Bcl-2, NF-κB1, VEGFA, CXCL8, and CXCR1, and lower expression of proapoptotic genes, Bax and Caspase 9, compared to cells with NF-κB decoy ODN. Real-time PCR results for Bcl-2 and CXCL8 showed a similar trend. Tube formation assay showed more tube development in the presence of NF-κB decoy scramble.
    Conclusion: The SHED-HDMEC crosstalk enhanced proangiogenic factor expression via NF-κB-dependent pathways.

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to examine the process of reinnervation during coronal pulp tissue regeneration in a rat model in which rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were implanted in pulpotomized molars.
    Methods: The maxillary first molars of Wistar rats were pulpotomized, and preformed biodegradable porous poly L-lactic acid scaffolds and hydrogel carrying rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were implanted in the pulp chamber. After 3, 7, and 14 days, the implanted teeth were processed for histologic analysis; immunoperoxidase staining for protein gene product 9.5 (a general neuronal marker), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), or substance P (SP); and real-time polymerase chain reaction for nerve growth factor (NGF) and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression.
    Results: Histologic analysis of the implanted region revealed sparse cellular distribution at 3 days, pulplike tissue with a thin dentin bridge-like structure at 7 days, and dentin bridge-like mineralized tissue formation and resorption of most scaffolds at 14 days. Protein gene product 9.5 and CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers showed the lowest density at 3 days and significantly increased until 14 days when the CGRP-immunoreactive fibers reached normal levels. SP-immunoreactive nerve fibers showed the highest density at 7 days and decreased to normal levels at 14 days. NGF mRNA increased with time, whereas GAP-43 mRNA levels peaked at 3 days and subsequently dropped until 14 days.
    Conclusions: Regeneration/remodeling of SP-immunoreactive and CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers with increased mRNA expression of NGF and GAP-43 occurred in a rat model of coronal pulp tissue engineering with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

    Abstract Introduction: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is an important transcriptional regulator of angiogenesis involving B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) signaling pathways. Thus, inhibition of NF-κB may suppress the development of periapical lesions via blockage of angiogenesis. Accordingly, we examined the effects of NF-κB decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) treatment on experimentally induced periapical lesions.
    Methods: Periapical lesions were induced in the mandibular first molars of 5-week-old male Wistar rats by the application of lipopolysaccharide to the pulp. NF-κB decoy ODN or NF-κB decoy scramble (control) was injected intraperitoneally every 7 days, starting 1 day before pulp exposure. After 28 days, the samples were retrieved, and digital radiographs were taken for radiomorphometry. Samples were processed for (1) immunohistochemistry of CD31, Bcl-2, and Bax; (2) laser capture microdissection to analyze Bcl-2, Bax, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), CXC receptor 2 (CXCR2), and vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in CD31+ endothelial cells; (3) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine NF-κB/p65 activity; and (4) Western blotting for vascular endothelial growth factor expression.
    Results: NF-κB decoy ODN treatment significantly reduced lesion size, NF-κB/p65 activity, and the density of CD31+ endothelial cells in the lesion. NF-κB decoy ODNs also down-regulated CXCL1, CXCR2, and VEGFR2 mRNAs and up-regulated Bax mRNA in endothelial cells but did not affect Bcl2 mRNA in endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor protein expression in the lesions was significantly decreased.
    Conclusions: The inhibition of NF-κB activity by decoy ODN treatment suppressed the development of experimentally induced periapical lesions with a concomitant reduction in angiogenic responses in endothelial cells.
