"Latar Belakang: Rekayasa jaringan merupakan alternatif untuk perawatan rekonstruksi tulang alveolar pasien celah bibir dan palatum. Alternatif tersebut menghubungkan penggunaan sel punca, biomaterial/scaffolds, dan molekul sinyal. Sumber sel yang ideal untuk rekayasa jaringan adalah sel autologous karena tidak bersifat immunogenik. Sel stromal pulpa gigi permanen (DPSC) menarik untuk terapi klinis karena akses perolehannya yang mudah, morbiditas yang sangat rendah, menunjukkan kapasitas imunoregulasi yang menguntungkan, dan dapat berdiferensiasi menjadi banyak tipe sel, termasuk osteoblas. Pada penelitian sebelumnya, DPSCs pasien celah bibir dan palatum ditemukan memiliki potensi kemampuan osteogenik. Namun, kemampuan diferensiasi osteogeniknya belum diketahui. Kemampuan diferensiasi osteogenik tersebut dapat diamati dari ekspresi marker osteogenik, salah satunya sclerostin yang diekspresikan pada tahap akhir diferensiasi osteoblas. Tujuan: Membandingkan kemampuan diferensiasi osteogenik DPSCs pasien celah bibir dan palatum dengan DPSCs subjek normal melalui pengamatan ekspresi gen sclerostin. Metode: DPSCs dikultur hingga mencapai 70%-80% confluent. Sampel RNA dari sel diperoleh dengan melakukan prosedur ekstraksi RNA. Ekspresi gen sclerostin diamati menggunakan Real-Time PCR menggunakan primer sclerostin dan 18s sebagai housekeeping gene. Hasil: DPSCs pasien celah bibir dan palatum memiliki nilai rata-rata ekspresi relatif gen sclerostin yang lebih tinggi 1,9 kali lipat dibandingkan dengan DPSCs subjek normal dan secara statistik berbeda bermakna dengan p = 0,013. Kesimpulan: DPSCs pada pasien celah bibir dan palatum mengekspresikan gen sclerostin sebagai marker diferensiasi osteogenik yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan DPSCs pada subjek normal secara in vitro.

Background: Tissue engineering is an alternative for alveolar bone reconstruction treatment in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. The alternative links the use of stem cells, biomaterials/scaffolds, and signaling molecules. The ideal cell source for tissue engineering is autologous cells because they are not immunogenic. Dental pulp stromal cells (DPSC) are interesting for clinical therapy because of their easy accesses, very low morbidity, exhibit favorable immunoregulatory capacities, and can differentiate into many cell types, including osteoblasts. In a previous study, DPSCs in CLP patients were found to have a potential osteogenic ability. However, its osteogenic differentiation ability is not yet known. The ability of osteogenic differentiation can be observed from the expression of osteogenic markers, one of which is sclerostin, a marker that is expressed in the final stage of osteoblast differentiation. Objective: To compare osteogenic differentiation ability of DPSCs in CLP patients with DPSCs in normal subjects through the expression of sclerostin gene. Methods: DPSCs were cultured to reach 70%-80% confluent. RNA samples from cells were obtained by carrying out RNA extraction procedure. Sclerostin gene expression was assessed using Real-Time PCR using sclerostin primer and 18s as a housekeeping gene. Results: DPSCs from CLP patients have mean relative expression of sclerostin gene 1.9 times higher compared to DPSCs in normal subjects and it is statistically different with p = 0.013. Conclusions: DPSCs in CLP patients express the sclerostin gene as marker of osteogenic differentiation higher than DPSCs in normal subjects in vitro."

"Latar belakang: Celah bibir dan palatum (CLP) adalah kegagalan fusi prosesus frontonasal dan maksilaris yang menghasilkan celah yang meluas ke bibir, alveolus, dasar hidung, dan palatum keras maupun lunak. Diperlukan perawatan melalui teknik rekayasa jaringan dengan menggunakan sel stromal mesenkim yang dapat ditemukan pada dental pulp stromal cells (DPSC). Kemampuan osteogenik DPSC dapat dilihat melalui deteksi marker osteogenik seperti osteopontin (OPN).

Background: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) occurs due to the failure of fusion of the frontal and maxillary process that results in a cleft that extends to the lip, alveoli, nose floor, and hard and soft palate. One of the potentially alternative treatment for CLP cases is tissue engineering technique using Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC). MSC can be found in dental pulp stromal cells (DPSC). Osteogenic ability can be seen through the detection of osteogenic markers such as osteopontin (OPN). Osteopontin is one of the main markers of osteogenic differentiation produced by osteoblast in the process of bone formation and mineralization. Osteopontin is expressed by preosteoblasts in early bone formation and mature osteoblasts at bone remodelling sites. Osteopontin expression as one of osteogenic markers in cleft lip and palate patients is unknown. This study was conducted to determine the ability of osteogenic differentiation through the expression of osteopontin in cleft lip and palate patients. Objective: To compare osteogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stromal cells in cleft lip and palate patients and normal subject through the expression of osteogenic marker osteopontin. Methods: RNA sample that was obtained through RNA extraction from dental pulp stromal cells of cleft and lip palate patients and normal subjects were tested with Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) using osteopontin and 18S as housekeeping gene. Results: There was no difference between the relative expression of OPN gene in DPSC from normal subject and cleft lip and palate patients. Conclusion: Osteogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stromal cells from cleft lip and palate patients is equivalent with dental pulp stromal cells from normal subjects."

Background: Cleft and lip palate is a condition where there is fusion disturbance or abnormal congenital cleft in the upper lip, alveolar, and palate area that can cause problems in patients such as aesthetic disorder and problem with talking. Autologous bone graft reconstruction treatment is the gold standard in treating cleft lip and palate patients, but this treatment has associated shortcomings so that alternative treatments such as tissue engineering techniques have been developed. The source of the mesenchymal stromal cells used can be derived from dental pulp tissue namely stem cells from human deciduous teeth and permanent dental pulp stromal cells. The osteogenic differentiation ability from dental pulp stromal cells of primary and permanent teeth in cleft lip and palate patients is one of the considerations for the use of autologous cells in the treatment of tissue engineering techniques, while the osteogenic differentiation ability of dental pulp stromal cells in cleft lip and palate patients has not been fully explored.

Objective: To compare the osteogenic differentiation capacity of primary and permanent dental pulp stromal cells in cleft lip and palate patients.

Methods: Samples isolated from primary and permanent dental pulp stromal cells in cleft lip and palate patients were cultured, RNA were extracted and tested by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) using alkaline phosphatase primers (ALP), and housekeeping gene in the form of 18s.

Background: Cleft lip and palate are congenital anomalies that affect the orofacial region including lips, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and soft palate. Patients with cleft lip and palate have impaired esthetic and stomatognathic functions. The gold standard treatment for cleft lip and palate patients is an autologous bone graft. However, this treatment is still invasive and has some limitations therefore requires tissue engineering techniques by using stromal cells. Mesenchymal stromal cells that are found in the mouth are stromal cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and dental pulp stromal cells (DPSC). The osteogenic differentiation of SHED and DPSC normal subjects are well known. Nevertheless, the osteogenic differentiation capacity by RUNX-2 mRNA expression in DPSC and SHED cleft lip and palate patients is still need to be elucidated. Objective: To compare the osteogenic differentiation capacity of stromal cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and dental pulp stromal cells in cleft lip and palate patients through RUNX-2 gene expression. Methods: DPSC and SHED cleft lip and palate patients were cultured with and without osteogenic medium for 21 days. RNA sample were collected from cell culture followed by the examination of RUNX-2 and 18S gene expression were tested by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Result: There was no difference in osteogenic differentiation capacity between DPSC and SHED cleft lip and palate patients through RUNX-2 gene expression. Conclusion: The osteogenic differentiation capacity of SHED was equivalent to DPSC of cleft lip and palate patients."
