ABSTRACT
The development and repair of dentin are strictly regulated by hundreds of genes. Abnormal dentin development is directly caused by gene mutations and dysregulation. Understanding and mastering this signal network is of great significance to the study of tooth development, tissue regeneration, aging, and repair and the treatment of dental diseases. It is necessary to understand the formation and repair mechanism of dentin in order to better treat the dentin lesions caused by various abnormal properties, whether it is to explore the reasons for the formation of dentin defects or to develop clinical drugs to strengthen the method of repairing dentin. Molecular biology of genes related to dentin development and repair are the most important basis for future research.
Introduction
Dentin constitutes the main body of the tooth and is located in the inner layer of enamel and cementum, the side wall of the pulp cavity and root canal. Dentin acts as a barrier to prevent exposure of the dental pulp, reduce the conduction of hot and cold stimuli to the pulp, and protect the living pulp. In addition, it also provides a hard tissue foundation for later dental restoration.
Odontoblasts are the only known cells that form dentin, and they are involved in the synthesis of primary, secondary, and reactionary dentin. A recent study showed that odontoblasts activate the innate immune response in the pulp.Citation1 Although the function of odontoblasts is unique, studies have not advanced new information likely because they are end-stage differentiated cells that are difficult to isolate and culture. To study the dentin formation process, it would be necessary to study gene regulation during the development and migration of odontoblasts.
In this review, we present information on 300 genes involved in dentinogenesis () and to date, the related regulatory processes of dentinogenesis has not been fully elucidated. However, new signaling molecules and transcription factors have recently been identified and shown to constitute a complex signaling network that participates in dentin formation. Understanding and mastering this signal network is of great significance to the study of tooth development, tissue regeneration, aging, repair and the treatment of dental diseases.
Table 1. The genes involved in dentinogenesis
Extracellular matrix proteins and related
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins could be directly involved in the construction of dentin because the mutation, deletion, or abnormal regulation of these proteins often leads to serious dentin-related diseases. Presently, all ECM proteins have been identified; however, their functional regulation still needs to be comprehensively studied. Furthermore, new regulatory mechanisms and key regulatory molecules are still being discovered.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with systemic skeletal dysplasia is a genetic systemic connective tissue disorder involving the bone, dentin, sclera, ear, blood vessels, skin, and other tissues. Type I collagen (COL1) gene mutations(COL1A1 and COL1A2)Citation2,Citation3,Citation4 are the main cause of this disease.
Bone and dentin have similar mineralization processes, during which osteoblasts and odontoblasts first secrete unmineralized matrices termed osteoid and anterior dentin, respectively. The organic component of osteoid and anterior dentin consists of an ECM primarily composed of COL1 and several non-collagen proteins that play essential roles in the mineralization of collagen fibers during the conversion of osteoid and anterior dentin to bone and dentin, respectively.Citation9 Bone- and odontoblast-expressed gene 1 (Bono1) is a gene expressed in functional odontoblasts that is associated with regions of matrix mineralization.Citation31 BSP may play an important role in the formation and mineralization during dentinogenesis.Citation9
Dentin sialoprotein (DSP) and dentin phosphoprotein (DPP) are encoded by dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp) and its deficiency may lead to dentin hypoplasia or dysplasia and opalescent, shell, and abnormal deciduous teeth with short roots. Therefore, Dspp is an important marker of odontoblastsCitation6 and is the first direct target of distal-less homeobox 3 (Dlx3), which was identified in odontoblasts.Citation7
In addition, TM14 has significant roles in the differentiation and maintenance of odontoblasts, and in dentin formation.Citation8 As a nucleus, bone sialoprotein (BSP) promotes crystal formation and in developing teeth it is well documented to form acellular cementum and periodontal attachments. However the expression and function of BSP in odontoblasts and dentin are uncertain.Citation9 Dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1/2 (Dmp1/2) participates in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation.Citation10,Citation11 Rat Dmp3 is a compound protein of rat DSP and phosphophoryn.Citation12 The formation of Dmp4 affects the growth and arrangement of hydroxyapatite crystals and promotes the differentiation of osteoblasts, ameloblasts, and odontoblasts.Citation13
Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) regulates tooth agenesis; MMP2 causes multiple cleavages near the DSP C terminus, releasing larger forms of DGP; and MMP8 may be involved in the alteration of dentin matrix during the development of human and rat tooth germ. In addition, MMP9 is important for tooth development and targets DSP during dentinogenesis, whereas MMP14 functions in tooth root formation, dentinogenesis, and tooth eruption. Furthermore, MMP20 cleaves DSP-DGP to generate DSP and DGP, and MMP1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24 and 25 are expressed in odontoblasts.Citation18–20
The dentin organic matrix is secreted by odontoblasts during dentinogenesis and mineralized in the predentin area.Citation149 In dental attrition, hardened molds and highly mineralized layers were detected in sclerotic dentin. During the process of sclerotic dentin formation and long-term aging, the MMP content in dentin changes.Citation150 The process of dentinogenesis is similar to bone formation and many genes are involved in both processes.
Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) participates in dentin formation, mineralization, and the development of odontoblasts.Citation32 Runx2 is also essential for the differentiation of osteoblasts and odontoblasts, and it regulates the expression of numerous bone- and tooth-related genes. Runx2 determines the lineage of osteoblasts and odontoblasts in the mesenchymal cells. Osterix (OSX), a downstream gene of Runx2 in the osteoblast differentiation signaling pathway, is involved in the differentiation, maturation, and intercellular signal transduction of odontoblasts.Citation41 Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is expressed in both the thickened and bud epithelium, as well as in combination with receptor activator of nuclear factor-κΒ (RANK) in both the enamel and papillary stroma. Although RANK ligand (RANKL) was not detected in the tooth epithelium or mesenchyme, it was expressed in pre-osteogenic mesenchymal cells near the developing tooth germ.Citation46
Mineralization related pathway
Followed by the pre-section, we reviewed some key proteins related with odontoblasic differentiation or dentinogenesis. In further, the mineralization related pathways those could upregulate the mentioned proteins also can affect odontoblastic differentiation.
Wnt signaling pathway
The Wnt signaling pathway could currently be considered the most thoroughly studied pathway and drug research related to dentin regeneration has also achieved significant breakthroughs recently. However, the involvement of the Wnt non-classical signaling pathway in the dentin formation process has not been elucidated. This pathway plays a crucial role in the reactivation of immature pulp cells for tertiary dentinogenesis.Citation47 TIMP1 plays a crucial role in the formation of tertiary dentin.
In addition, cavity preparation may activate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Citation47 Wnt signaling is essential to both the epithelium and stroma, whereas heterologous inactivation of β-catenin leads to stagnation of early tooth germ development. The elimination of mesenchymal-specific β-catenin stagnated tooth germ development, which indicates that Wnt signaling plays a role in the transition from the bud stage to the cap stage during tooth germ mesenchymal development. Citation50
Wnt10a was shown to be strongly expressed in the odontoblast layer and was specifically expressed in the secretory odontoblasts co-expressed with DSPP.Citation56 The role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation is mediated through its component proteins.Citation56 Phenotype-related diseases are sometimes caused by paralog genes, which may explain the dental abnormalities in patients with Wnt10a and Wnt10b mutations.Citation57 Wnt signaling is essential for normal tooth development and its persistent activation leads to the continuous renewal of teeth and supernumerary teeth, whereas its inhibition stagnates tooth development. Abnormal Wnt signaling has been shown to cause a variety of human developmental disorders ranging from the lack of a tooth to life-threatening cancer.Citation57
SHH signaling pathway
Sonic hedgehog signaling molecule (SHH) has been shown to regulate dentin formation mainly during embryo development. GLI family zinc finger 1 (Gli1)-positive cells in mature teeth have been found to have stem cell properties that contribute to the regeneration of pulp and periodontal tissue. SHH, a secreted protein that plays a significant role in mammalian embryogenesis, regulates growth and determines the tooth shape. Dental epithelial SHH regulates tooth morphogenesis through epithelial mesenchymal signal transduction. Many studies have analyzed the function of SHH signaling in different stages of tooth development, and have reported that it regulates the formation of various tooth components, including the enamel, dentin, cementum, and other soft tissues.Citation61 SHH is mainly expressed in the dental epithelium during tooth development.Citation64
The stratum intermedium is a highly dynamic and SHH-expressing structure that undergoes marked and transient changes in the histological organization and phenotype during odontogenesis. The stratum intermedium is involved in the development of the tooth germ, which has not been previously reported.Citation151 This delicate cell group has undergone an amazing process of evolution and degradation, which is closely related to the process of development from the dental cusp to the cervix. SHH is one of the signaling molecules for which the intermediate layer may play a role in mediated its function.Citation151 The primary cilia are essential for the integration of Wnt and Hh signals and in their functional absence, SHH signals decrease in the dental stroma, whereas those of Wnt increase in the dental mesenchyme.Citation67
TGFβ signaling pathway
The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway is mainly involved in the differentiation and regulation of odontoblasts and includes the BMP family of molecules, which showed the most remarkable effects.
The TGFβ family plays an important role in matrix formation and pulpal obliteration, especially in pulp-dentin pathophysiology. TGFβ induces the secretion of ECM components related to primary and tertiary dentin formation. TGFβ isoforms are also expressed by mature odontoblasts, leading to the isolation of these growth factors in the dentin matrix. This process provides a matrix-associated TGFβ library that can be released in matrix changes associated with caries injury or trauma.Citation68 BMPs are signaling molecules secreted by the TGF superfamily and more than 30 types are known to regulate embryonic development in almost all tissues and organs of all animals and Fine-tuning of BMP is very important for its various functions.Citation72
Notch signaling pathway
The Notch signaling molecule expression and activation are critical not only for the development of tooth embryos, but also for the regeneration of damaged tissues of adult teeth. Notch is an important regulator of stem cell fate and can induce cell proliferation and differentiation. There is a close relationship between dental pulp mesenchymal cells and neovascularization in dental pulp diseases and the Notch signaling pathway is upregulated after tooth injury.Citation77
TNF signaling pathway
The specific role of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family of molecules identified in tooth morphogenesis suggests that this pathway plays an important role in the development and evolution of the tooth number and shape.Citation82 Ectodysplasin A (EDA), a member of the TNF superfamily, and its receptor, EDAR, are an essential part of ectodermal organ development. Analysis of their expression patterns and mutant phenotypes has shown that they may participate in signal transduction between different epithelial cells during hair and tooth development in mice.Citation82
Ion channel
Ion channels play an important role in various kinds of proprioception, pain, and conduction of hot and cold stimuli in teeth, as well as in calcium transport, deposition, and loss of teeth.
Voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels play a significant role in toothaches. The sensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve possess different types of voltage-gated ion channels expressed in common nerve cells and odontoblasts. Previous studies have shown that small molecules such as 5 ‘- adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its ion receptor of the P2X family play an essential role in the sensory system of mediating toothaches. Citation88
Growth factor
It is involved in the development of teeth and the formation of secondary and reactionary dentins.
Although there is evidence that tooth morphogenesis and innervation are independent, the role of nerve fibers in tooth development or dentin and enamel formation remains controversial. In our study, the first molar tooth germ neurons of glial -derived neutrotrophic factor (GDNF)-deficient and wild-type mice were almost identical in structure and Schwann cell density.Citation110 This suggests that GDNF, similar to other members of the GDNF family such as neurturin, is not involved in guiding or maintaining the neural structure during tooth development or in the survival of Schwann cells.Citation110
Among the members of the BMP family, the biological function of BMP 2 in root development has been widely studied and it promotes the differentiation of dental pulp stem cells into odontoblasts. IGF-1 promotes osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis of bone, but can also reduce its odontogenic differentiation and ability, suggesting that IGF-1 could be as a candidate material for bone tissue engineering. The osteogenic differentiation signaling pathway of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) induced by IGF-1 requires further study, whereas IGF-2 appears to preferentially play a role in enamel deposition.Citation152
Stress response
Presently, the molecular regulatory mechanism of the stress response in teeth is not well understood, although it is of great significance to tooth development and the formation of secondary and reactionary dentins. The expression of heat shock protein 25 (Hsp25) in odontoblasts could be considered a stress response, which can be achieved by regulating actin dynamics and programmed cell death. Following the development of dentin and its deposition, the odontoblast retreated from the apex to the incisor end and the pulp space in the middle is reduced, forming pseudo-stratification. This histological finding suggests that odontoblasts undergo mechanical stress due to increase cell density during active dentin formation and this environmental change may induce a strong Hsp25 immune response in these cells.Citation153
Nervous system related pathway
Nerve-related genes involved in the regulation of dengtinogenesis have also been reported. Some studies have shown that during pulp regeneration odontoblast cells are likely derived from Schwann cells in the pulp, but the fine regulatory mechanisms involved are still poorly understood.Citation110 The role of nerve fibers in triggering the development of the teeth or in the onset of dentin and enamel formation is still controversial, although evidence suggests that tooth morphogenesis and innervation are independent. In our study, the first molar tooth germ (FMTG) nerves were almost identical in structure and density to the Schwann cells in GDNF-deficient and wild-type mice. This suggests that glial cell-line derived growth factor (GDNF) and neurturin are not involved in guiding or maintaining the structure of nerves in the developing tooth or in the survival of Schwann cells.Citation110
Cell junction related genes
The role of the cell junction in oral development and disease is poorly understood. Occludin (OCLN), claudin-1 (CLDN1), and zonula occludens-1/2 (Zo1/2) play important roles in odontoblast differentiation.Citation114 CNRs, protocadherin (Pcdh)-γ, and Reelin are related to both morphogenesis and cell differentiation events.Citation28 E-cadherin and P-cadherin have differential and specific roles during morphogenesisCitation115 and connexin 43 is expressed in odontoblasts.Citation116 The expression patterns of CLDN1, OCLN, ZO-1, and ZO-2 are different. Tight junctions (TJs) of the rat lower incisor odontoblasts may play an important role in the early differentiation of odontoblasts, especially in determining the direction of mineral secretion and establishing the distal membrane domain.Citation114
Bile secretion pathway
Recent studies have shown that this signaling pathway, ostensibly unrelated to teeth, is involved in tooth embryo development, and tooth formation involves strict genetic control procedures.Citation117 Therefore, exploring the gene network system regulating tooth development has a very positive practical significance in the study of tooth tissue regeneration and the prevention and treatment of tooth abnormalities. The early bell stage is the initial phase of odontoblast formation and dentin matrix deposition in the tooth development process. RNA sequencing and differential gene analysis of rat tooth germ samples at the cap and early bell stages showed that the bile secretion pathway was the most significantly different between the cap and bell stages among related signaling pathway during development, which mainly included SLC10A1, SLC2A1, SLC4A4, ADCY5, ATP1B1 and ABCC3.Citation117
Other related genes
However, the major signaling pathways involved in dentinogenesis and new genes remain to be discovered and elucidated. For instance, IFT140 is essential in promoting dentin formation and reparation.Citation118 Odontoblasts showed prominent staining for PrP at levels comparable to those of nerve fibers.Citation122 Glucose supply via GLUT1 might occur before the differentiation of odontoblast-like cells. The transport of glucose via Glut2/Glut4 might contribute to the production of a dentin bridge during wound healing.Citation32,Citation144 Mdm2 promotes Odontoblast-like differentiation by Ubiquitinating Dlx3 and p53. It will continue to add and classify, because the number is small and not deep enough.
Conclusion and perspectives
The development and restoration of dentin is a complicated and strict regulatory process and numerous signaling molecules and transcription factors constitute the complex signaling network mediating dentin formation. Understanding these signal networks is of great significance to the study of tooth development, damage repair, and tissue regeneration and to the treatment of abnormal tooth development. We believe that research in this field should focus on the following points in the future.
Odontoblasts aging
Odontoblast aging is a field that has rarely been studied in the past decade and similar to other major functional cells, odontoblasts have a process of development, maturation, and senescence. To date, the specific genes involved in odontoblast cell aging are unknown. Odontoblast aging is closely related to dentin regeneration. The autophagy-lysosome system of odontoblasts ensures the renewal of organelles and proteins, thereby extending their lifespan. However, the gradual accumulation of lipofuscin in lysosomes reduces the viability of odontoblasts and the ability of dentin to regeneration.Citation154,Citation155 Moreover, the old dentin structure is also different from that of young dentin, and a study on the mechanical behavior of dentin reported that all stiffness, strength, and fatigue properties tested decreased significantly with age.Citation156 Scanning electron microscopy revealed that old dentin exhibited more intratubular crystal deposits than the young dentin, which had an 80% lower permeability.Citation157 We hope that future research will elucidate the process and molecular mechanisms of odontoblast aging, which could provide strategies to regulate odontoblast aging or reverse the aging process.
Odontoblasts immune responses
The odontoblast is the first tissue barrier against invasion of the tooth by caries-related pathogens, and is the starting and effective point of the immune response of the tissue to these pathogens. However, the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in the responses to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in odontoblasts have not been fully clarified. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying PAMP-induced innate immune responses and the role of PRRs in odontoblasts would help the development of strategies to maintain dental pulp tissues in a healthy condition for as long as possible. Furthermore, the enhanced understanding of these processes may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies and treatments for pulpitis.
Dentin development
Currently, although there is considerable information available on the dentin developmental process and related genes, the details of its complex regulatory network are still unclear. Furthermore, repairing dentin abnormalities or defects that have occurred is challenging. Presently, prenatal or preimplantation genetic diagnosis is the most effective method of solving dentin developmental problems. Future further studies and understanding of the regulatory network of dentin development would contribute to enabling the modification adult mutant genes for the benefit of patients by combining modern gene modification techniques such as CRISPR/cas9.
Epigenetics in dentin development and aging
Recent studies have demonstrated the important role of epigenetics in dentin development and the main epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and methylation.Citation158 However, because of the limitations of in vivo and in vitro models and research techniques, epigenetic research on dentin development has only just begun. A considerable amount of research is still required to reveal rules and interventions in developmental abnormalities.
Dentin regeneration
Dentin regeneration, especially regenerative restoration after dentin injury, requires an understanding of the occurrence and development of dentin, because the two main signaling pathways are very similar. Dentin regeneration requires dental pulp cells and is closely related to dental pulp regeneration.Citation159 In addition to previous studies on dentinogenesis, some novel approaches have been explored in the past year. For example, a novel injectable treated dentin hydrogel (TDMH) has been developed for use as a pulp capping material for dentin regeneration.Citation159 Histological results showed that TDMH allowed the harvesting of thicker formed dentin than that of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).Citation159 Another study utilized an amphiphilic synthetic polymeric combined with exosomes derived from both dental pulp stem cells and immortalized murine odontoblasts as dental pulp capping material to generate dentin in vivo. After 6 weeks, the exosome group exhibited higher quality formation of the dentin bridge than the group treated with glass-ionomer cement.Citation154 The development of nanotechnology has also led to the application of nanomaterials in new strategies in the field of dentin regeneration. Mesoporous bioactive glass/graphene oxide composites have been shown to improved mineral differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells by upregulating the odontogenesis-specific markers DSPP and DMP-1. This observation suggests that this composite may induce stem cell differentiation into odontoblast-like cells and thereby induce dentin formation.
Physical factors
Some physical factors including ultrasound, static magnetic field(SMF), electric field(EF), and laser irradiation also affect the differentiation of odontoblasts. Ultrasound: In the experimental model of dentin injury without pulp exposure, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (frequency: 1.5 MHz, 200 μs pulse width, 1 kHz pulse repetition frequency, 30 mW/cm2 spatial averaged temporal averaged intensity) treatment of teeth increased calcium ion transport-related protein (Cav1.2, NCX1 and TRPV1) expression. After 14 days, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed more significant dentin formation in the pulse treatment group than that in the other groups and the underlying mechanism may involve inflammatory reactions and mechanical effects.Citation160
Static magnetic field (SMF): Recently, SMF has been shown to promote the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of stem cells. Furthermore, SMF at 1 mT has been reported to increase DPSC proliferation, and the gene expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, TGF-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by upregulating MMP-1 and MMP-2 gene expression. SMF also inhibits the phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ, which continuously induces odontoblast differentiation and mineralization in DPSCs.Citation161
Electro filed (EF): A potential method (frequency: 1 Hz, 40 ms pulse length and 70 V) using a pulse EF to deliver growth/differentiation factor 11(GDF11) could promote DPSC differentiation into odontoblasts and induce the expression of dentin sialoprotein (Dsp), a differentiation marker for odontoblasts, in the future. This study suggests that the co-application of physical and gene therapy may achieve the goal of dental tissue repair.Citation162
Laser irradiation: Low-level laser irradiation (InGaAsP; 940 nm; 0.2 W, continuous mode) at 8 J/cm2 stimulated cellular proliferation and promoted biomineralization of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth by upregulating odontogenesis-related genes (DSPP, ALP, BMP-2) .Citation163 The development of genomics, molecular biology, biophysics, and materials science in the future will provide more alternative and efficient methods for the regeneration and restoration of dentin. Consequently, the “secrets” of dentinogenesis will be gradually unveiled.
