This study investigated whether transcription factor c-Myb could induce differentiation of PDL cells for periodontal regeneration. PDL cells were isolated from extracted teeth and cultured. c-Myb was transfected to PDL cells using replication-deficient adenoviral vector. Differentiation of the PDL cells was analyzed by immunoblot, alkaline phosphatase activity, Alizarin red stain, and immunofluorescence analysis. Cell viability on titanium surfaces was analyzed by crystal violet stain and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. PDL cells cultured in osteogenic medium showed increased production of osteogenic and cementogenic molecules. Moreover, c-Myb-transfected cells showed increased production of dentinogenic molecules, in addition to the osteogenic and cementogenic molecules, even in normal culture condition. c-Myb-transfected cells also exhibited increased autophagy and type I collagen production under nutrient deprivation. When grown on a titanium surface, c-Myb-transfected cells showed increased production of osteogenesis-, dentinogenesis-, and cementogenesis-related molecules and cell viability. Thus, these results suggest that c-Myb might play an essential role during periodontal regeneration by improving the differentiation of PDL cells, and c-Myb can be utilized for enhancing the attachment of PDL cells to dental implant surfaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":11983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Oral Sciences","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cluster randomized control trial, including immigrant parents of newborns, was conducted at seven health centers in Bergen (Norway) involving a 2-session one-to-one motivational interviews, toothbrushing demonstrations and pamphlets in the participants’ native languages at baseline and after 6 months. Mean differences in outcome scores were assessed and compared between intervention and control groups using generalized linear mixed model. In an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis (<i>n</i> = 345), the estimated mean difference in parental attitude to diet and indulgence between the groups indicated more improvement in the control than in the intervention group in the adjusted models. For all outcomes within both groups, a slight positive change was observed in marginal mean scores from baseline to follow-up. The two culturally adapted intervention sessions had no impact on oral health-related knowledge, attitudes, and indulgence of immigrant parents.
