Abstract
This article is a scoping review of the studies that assessed the effect of mechanical forces on the behavior of dental stem cells (DSCs). PubMed and Scopus searches were done for in-vitro studies evaluating the effect of tension, hydrostatic pressure (i.e., the pressure applied through an incompressible fluid), compression, simulated microgravity, and vibration on DSCs. The following factors were analyzed: osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation, proliferation, adhesion and migration. Articles were reviewed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guideline. Included studies were evaluated based on the modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). A total of 18 studies published from 2008–2019 were included. Nine studies were focusing on Periodontal ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs), eight studies on Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) and one study on Stem Cells from Apical Papilla (SCAP). Results showed that tension, three-dimensional stress and simulated microgravity promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. DPSCs proliferation increased after microgravity and tension exertion. In addition, dynamic hydrostatic pressure and compression promoted odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Besides, mechanical stimuli increased the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs. One study analyzed the effect of carrier features on the response of DSCs to 3D-stress and showed that cells cultivated on scaffolds with 30% bioactive glass (BAG) had the highest osteogenic differentiation compared to other ratios of BAG. It has been shown that increasing the duration of tension (i.e., from 3 h to 24 h force application) enhanced the positive effect of force application on the osteogenic differentiation of DSCs. In conclusion, all types of mechanical forces except uniaxial tension increased the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of DSCs. In addition, the effect of mechanical stimulation on the proliferation of DSCs differs based on the type of stem cells and mechanical force.
期刊介绍:
The field of biomechanics concerns with motion, deformation, and forces in biological systems. With the explosive progress in molecular biology, genomic engineering, bioimaging, and nanotechnology, there will be an ever-increasing generation of knowledge and information concerning the mechanobiology of genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and organs. Such information will bring new diagnostic tools, new therapeutic approaches, and new knowledge on ourselves and our interactions with our environment. It becomes apparent that biomechanics focusing on molecules, cells as well as tissues and organs is an important aspect of modern biomedical sciences. The aims of this journal are to facilitate the studies of the mechanics of biomolecules (including proteins, genes, cytoskeletons, etc.), cells (and their interactions with extracellular matrix), tissues and organs, the development of relevant advanced mathematical methods, and the discovery of biological secrets. As science concerns only with relative truth, we seek ideas that are state-of-the-art, which may be controversial, but stimulate and promote new ideas, new techniques, and new applications.
