PDL stem cells (PDLSCs) contained in the PDL can differentiate into cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and PDL fibroblasts, with essential roles in periodontal tissue regeneration. Therefore, PDLSCs are expected to be useful in periodontal tissue regeneration therapy. In a previous study, we differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into PDLSC-like cells (iPDLSCs), which expressed PDL-related markers and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers; they also exhibited high proliferation and multipotency. However, the iPSCs used in this differentiation method were cultured on mouse embryonic fibroblasts; thus, they constituted on-feeder iPSCs (OF-iPSCs). Considering the risk of contamination with feeder cell-derived components, iPDLSCs differentiated from OF-iPSCs (ie, OF-iPDLSCs) are unsuitable for clinical applications. In this study, we aimed to obtain PDLSC-like cells from feeder-free iPSCs (FF-iPSCs) using OF-iPDLSC differentiation method. First, we differentiated FF-iPSCs into neural crest cell-like cells (FF-iNCCs) and confirmed that FF-iNCCs expressed NCC markers (eg, Nestin and p75NTR). Then, we cultured FF-iNCCs on human primary PDL cell-derived extracellular matrix for 2 weeks; the resulting cells were named FF-iPDLSCs. FF-iPDLSCs exhibited higher expression of PDL-related and MSC markers compared with OF-iPDLSCs. FF-iPDLSCs also demonstrated proliferation and multipotency in vitro. Finally, we analyzed the ability of FF-iPDLSCs to form periodontal tissue in vivo upon subcutaneous transplantation with β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds into dorsal tissues of immunodeficient mice. Eight weeks after transplantation, FF-iPDLSCs had formed osteocalcin-positive bone/cementum-like tissues and collagen 1-positive PDL-like fibers. These results suggested that we successfully obtained PDLSC-like cells from FF-iPSCs.

We cloned esophageal myogenic genes (MyoD, MyoG, and Myf6) using plasmid DNA. Afterward, myogenic genes were transfected into Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) using electroporation.

We have confirmed that the gene transfer efficiency was high (∼75%). Pluripotency levels in gene-transfected MSCs were significantly decreased compared with those in the control (vector). Particularly, myogenesis-related genes such as OAS2, OAS3, and HSPA1A were overexpressed in the group transfected with three genes. At 4 weeks after injection, it was found that thickness collagen layer and esophageal muscle in MSCs transfected with all three genes were significantly reduced compared to those in the saline group.

Moreover, expression levels of myogenin, Myf6, calponin, and SM22α known to be specific markers of esophageal muscles tended to increase in the group transfected with three genes.

Furthermore, STC2 injection into the lateral ventricle promoted the neuronal differentiation of NSPCs and migration to the olfactory bulb. Conversely, the STC2 knockdown produced the opposite effect. Further investigation showed that STC2 treatment enhanced AKT phosphorylation in cultured NSPCs, whereas STC2 inhibition hindered AKT activation. Notably, the neuronal differentiation induced by STC2 was blocked by the AKT inhibitor GSK690693, whereas the AKT activator SC79 reversed the impact of STC2 knockdown on neuronal differentiation.
