    Notes: Considerable research effort has been directed at preparing root surfaces in a fashion that would promote cell attachment leading to periodontal regeneration; however, no methods have proven to be clinically predictable. Identification of attachment protein(s) associated with the root surface matrix of cementum may prove valuable for developing effective clinical treatments. In this study cementum proteins were extracted from bovine and human teeth by sequential chaotropic extraction using guanidine followed by guanidine/EDTA. The guanidine/EDTA extract, but not guanidine extract, was found to promote attachment of fibroblasts. This attachment activity was inhibitable with synthetic peptide containing the attachment sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD). Fractionation of the guanidine/EDTA extract revealed several fractions with attachment activity. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that two of these fractions contain the bone-associated RGD containing attachment protein, bone sialoprotein-II (BSP-II). In addition, attachment activity was also noted in other fractions that could not be attributed to BSP-II or fibronectin. These studies indicate that a component of the attachment activity of cementum is likely to be due to BSP-II and that cementum contains additional, as yet undetermined, attachment proteins.

    Notes: Osteopontin (OPN) promotes attachment and spreading of cells in an RGD dependent fashion, suggesting that OPN interacts with integrins on cell surfaces. Here in, we show that LM-609, a monoclonal antibody to the αvβ3 integrin (a vitronectin receptor), inhibited OPN-mediated attachment of gingival fibroblasts. To characterize the cell surface receptors responsible for this interaction, we performed OPN-sepharose affinity chromatography using detergent extracts of 35S-methionine or l25I-surface labeled gingival fibroblasts. Proteins bound to the OPN-matrix were eluted with EDTA and subjected to SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. EDTA eluates from both 125I-surface labeled and 35Smethionine labeled extracts demonstrated prominent bands in the 90kDa and 50kDa regions, by both autoradiography and fluorography, respectively. These studies suggest that OPN is associated with other cell surface molecules in addition to αvβ3. Furthermore, these as yet to be characterized proteins, may prove to have a stronger affinity for OPN than αvβ3.

    Notes: Cementum is a specialized mineralized tissue providing for the attachment of perio-dontal fibers to the root surface of a tooth. In periodontal disease this connective tissue attachment to the cemental surface is lost. The ability of bacteria to adhere to the root surface, an intial event in the disease process, may be influenced by the organic matrix of cementum. Therefore, an in vitro assay of cell attachment was modified to study bacterial adherence to protein extracts of cementum. Petri dishes coated with the extracts were pre-incubated in culture media and then bacteria were added. Using this assay, Capnocytophaga-like species, a gram negative bacterium implicated in periodontal disease, attached preferentially to dishes coated with cemental extracts when compared with Type I collagen or uncoated dishes. This assay system should prove beneficial for studying the attachment of various microorganisms to protein extracts of both normal and diseased cementum. as well as providing insight into the unique attachment properties of cementum.

    Notes: The purpose of the present report was to document the stress response produced by physical and chemical abuses to human periodontal ligament cells, and to review some of the known functions of stress response proteins produced as a result of such treatments. For these studies human PDL cells were exposed to sublethal challenges of 43°C heat, sodium arsenite and the amino acid analog L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AZC). The cells were labelled with [35S]-methionine and the proteins produced were examined by autofluorography of SDS-PAGE gels. Heat challenges were shown to induce hsps with an apparent mol. wts. of 90K, 68-72K, 41–47K, and 36 K. Arsenite-treated cells produced similar hsps including a 30k protein not produced by other forms of stress. AZC treatment resulted in the production of apparent functionless hsps with apparent molecular weights of 90,000, 72,000, 68,000 and 36,000. The function of these proteins and their possible role in periodontal disease is discussed.

    Notes: Nonconfluent cultures of human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to both guanidine and guanidine EDTA extracts of cementum for 48 hours. To compare the effects of cementum extracts on fibroblasts with other mineralized tissue extracts, cells were also exposed to guanidine and guanidine EDTA extracts of dentin and alveolar bone. The cells were radioactively labeled during the last 24 h. Total protein production was measured via the incorporation of radioactive proline. Collagen production was estimated by digestion of the radioactive protein mixture with bacterial collagenase. All guanidine EDTA extracts elicited statistically significant increases in total protein production compared to controls. At 50 μg/ml of extract, the increases in protein production were 340%, 143% and 338% for bone, cementum and dentin, respectively. Similar results were obtained for collagen production. In contrast, the guanidine extracts had no effect on either protein or collagen production by human gingival fibroblasts. These data indicate that the functions of gingival fibroblasts can be altered by proteins from associated mineralized tissues. Identifying such proteins and understanding their biological functions will enhance our knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate connective tissue regeneration.

    Notes: Tissues lost as a consequence of periodontal diseases, i.e. bone, cementum and a functional periodontal ligament (PDL), can be restored to some degree. Nevertheless, results are often disappointing. There is a need to develop new paradigms for regenerating periodontal tissues that are based on an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating the development and regeneration of periodontal tissues. As one approach we have developed strategies for maintaining cementoblasts in culture by first determining the gene profile for these cells in situ. Next, cells were immortalized in vitro using SV 40 large T antigen (SV40 Tag) or by using mice containing transgenes enabling cellular immortality in vitro. Cementoblasts in vitro retained expression of genes associated with mineralized tissues, bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin, that were not linked with periodontal fibroblasts either in situ or in vitro. Further, cementoblasts promoted mineralization in vitro as measured by von Kossa and in vivo using a severely compromised immunodeficient (SCID) mouse model. These cells responded to growth factors by eliciting changes in gene profile and mitogenesis and to osteotropic hormones by evoking changes in gene profile and ability to induce mineral nodule formation in vitro. The ultimate goal of these studies is to provide the knowledge base required for designing improved modalities for use in periodontal regenerative therapies.

    Notes: Summary Weanling rats were given a vitamin D-deficient diet containing 1.4% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus. After 4 weeks these deficient animals were injected for 7 days with selected doses of one of the following vitamin D metabolites: 25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, 25,26(OH)2D3 or the ethanol vehicle. A vitamin D-replete group was placed on the same diet but injected with 50 IU of vitamin D3 once a week for the entire 5-week period. By the use of a modified Ussing chamber [1], the measurements of calcium fluxes into and from the rat calvaria were possible. These data enabled the apparent mineral solubilities to be derived. After 5 weeks on this diet the vitamin D-deficient rats had low levels of serum calcium (1.41 mM) and decreased mineral solubility when compared to the vitamin D-replete group. The apparent solubility of the bone mineral increased toward the vitamin D-replete level in calvaria from vitamin D metabolite-treated rats. However, these changes did not directly reflect the alterations in the level of serum calcium. At any given dose level, 1,25(OH)2D3 was the most effective metabolite in increasing serum calcium. In fact, the high dose (250 pmoles/day) was hypercalcemic. Next in effectiveness was 25(OH)D3. These two metabolites were equally effective in increasing mineral solubility. At a 10 times higher dose, the 24,25(OH)2D3 metabolite was able to normalize serum calcium and improve but not normalize mineral solubility. At the high dose (260 pmoles/day), the 25,26(OH)2D3 metabolite caused no effect on mineral solubility and minimal increases in serum calcium.
