Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) to reparative dentinogenesis using bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and pulp capping as an in vivo model. Methods: A chimeric mouse model was created through the injection of BMDCs expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP+ BMDCs) from C57BU6 GFP+ transgenic donor mice into irradiated C57BL/6 wild-type recipient mice (GFP- mice). These GFP-chimeric mice (containing transplanted GFP+ BMDCs) were subjected to microscopic pulp exposure and capping with white mineral trioxide aggregate (n = 18) or Biodentine (Septodont, St Maur-des-Fosses, France) (n = 18) in the maxillary first molar. Maxillary arches from GFP- chimeric mice (with the capped tooth) were isolated and histologically processed 5 (n = 9) and 7 (n = 9) weeks after BMT. Confocal laser microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis were performed to assess the presence of GFP+ BMDCs and the expression of dentin sialoprotein, an odontoblast marker, for those cells contributing to reparative dentinogenesis in the dental pulp. Results: Confocal laser microscopic analyses evidenced the presence of GFP+ BMDCs in close association with reparative dentin synthesized at the site of pulp exposure in GFP- mice 5 and 7 weeks after BMT. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that GFP+ BMDCs in close association with reparative dentin expressed DSP, suggesting the contribution of nonresident GFP+ BMDCs to reparative dentinogenesis. Conclusions: These data suggest the presence of nonresident BMDCs in reparative dentinogenesis and its contribution to dental pulp regeneration in the pulp healing process. (AU)
